Fang Lin nodded, “I will naturally go and talk to Miss Han Xiaoxing. After all, I have received Elder Wang’s belongings; I cannot harm him.”
Wang Tianmu was practically in tears, despising Fang Lin but knowing he had to thank him despite his grimace.
He really had had enough of his position as an elder.
At this moment, Dugu Nian ran over from afar, her face filled with urgency.
Upon seeing Fang Lin unharmed and the additional people around him, Dugu Nian looked taken aback.
“Hey, how are you still alive?” Dugu Nian asked in a sarcastic tone.
Fang Lin glared at her and scolded, “You wicked girl, are you hoping someone would kill me off? You disrespectful thing, wait till I get you back home.”
Dugu Nian gave a few indistinct humphs, her heart finally settling. She had indeed been worried about Fang Lin’s safety.
Qing Jianzi glanced between Dugu Nian and Fang Lin, his face filled with curiosity.
Dugu Nian also noticed the embarrassed look on Wang Tianmu’s face and narrowed her eyebrows. “Who’s this guy?” she asked.
Fang Lin laughed and replied, “This is Elder Wang from the Martial Sect. He is here to protect us.”
Having said that, Fang Lin intentionally winked at Wang Tianmu.
Wang Tianmu felt a little relieved, grateful that Fang Lin did not betray him after accepting his benefits. He was indeed a man of his word.
Dugu Nian nodded indifferently. Seeing the paleness of Fang Lin’s face and the trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, she couldn’t help but ask, “Are you injured?”
Fang Lin gave her a cold look and snorted, “Isn’t it obvious?”
Dugu Nian pursed her lips and retorted, ‘You really have a long life. Why didn’t anyone kill you?”
Fang Lin was so infuriated that he wanted to kick her again, but decided against it considering the presence of Qing Jianzi and Wang Tianmu.
While Han Xiaoxing hadn’t returned yet, Huang Yongtian managed to find Fang Lin and the others first.
Huang Yongtian looked slightly weary but he wasn’t hurt. Seeing that both Fang Lin and Dugu Nian were there, he felt relieved.
“Are you two alright?” Huang Yongtian asked, his attention on the bloodstain at the corner of Fang Lin’s mouth.
Fang Lin shook his head. “Thank you for your protection, Senior Huang. I am unharmed. ”
Upon seeing that Fang Lin’s injuries were indeed not severe, Huang Yongtian nodded and then looked at Qing Jianzi and Wang Tianmu curiously.
Fang Lin immediately introduced Huang Yongtian to the two of them, carefully avoiding the actual reason for Wang Tianmu’s visit.
Upon learning that the two were from the Purple Mist Sect, Huang Yongtian made no further inquiries.
Fang Lin learned from Huang Yongtian that the old man from the Li family had escaped and had been injured by Huang Yongtian.
Fang Lin also briefly explained to Huang Yongtian that he was being hunted by Li Songwen and how he was rescued by Han Xiaoxing and Qing Jianzi.
Of course, he didn’t tell Huang about Wang Tianmu’s surprise attack on him. The fewer people who knew about this, the better. Otherwise, Wang Tianmu would be anxious and might act rashly.
“Han Xiaoxing? Is she the second daughter of the Purple Mist Sect Master, Han Luoyun?” Huang Yongtian asked in surprise.
Fang Lin laughed, “It seems Miss Han Xiaoxing has quite a reputation in Qian Country.”
“Not just ‘quite’ ,” Huang Yongtian corrected. “Many people in Qian Country believe that Han Xiaoxing is the most powerful of the younger generation. I’ve heard quite a bit about her.”
As he spoke, he looked at Fang Lin and said, “You seem to have considerable importance in the Purple Mist Sect if even the Sect Master’s daughter came to guard you.”
Fang Lin, slightly embarrassed, didn’t know what to say.
However, Huang Yongtian’s words, fell upon Wang Tianmu’s ears, stunned him.
“If Han Xiaoxing came to protect Fang Lin, it means that Fang Lin has already caught the attention of the higher-ups in the sect. It’s likely that he is being watched by the Sect Master. I absolutely must not become enemies with Fang Lin in the future. This kid is likely to rise rapidly,” Wang Tianmu mentally reminded himself.
Fang Lin took a pill and sat cross-legged on the ground, beginning to heal his injuries.
Li Songwen’s punch had been incredibly powerful. If Fang Lin hadn’t practiced the Nine Cauldron Skypassing Spell and taken the Bone-Tempering Pill, he would have been severely injured and immobilized by that punch.
Nevertheless, it was a hard blow for Fang Lin, marking the most severe injury he had suffered since his reincarnation.
While Fang Lin healed, Huang Yongtian and Qing Jianzi stood guard over him in silence.
Wang Tianmu, aware of his place, moved away to keep an eye on their surroundings.
He had now reassessed his position. He did not intend to be Fang Lin’s enemy in the future, and even had the faint idea of sticking to Fang Lin for support.
Wang Tianmu understood that if Fang Lin could potentially attract the Sect Master’s attention, his future advancement was certain.
As for Wang Tianmu himself, he had virtually reached the end of his ability to advance in his position as elder. There was almost no chance for him to progress further.
Originally, Wang Tianmu had pinned his hopes on his two sons, especially his eldest son, Wang Changfeng, who was the direct disciple of the Martial Sect chief and had limitless potential.
But now, it seemed that sucking up to Fang Lin was also a good choice.
However, this was merely a vague idea for Wang Tianmu. His current situation was still unclear, and it was uncertain whether he could retain his position as an elder.
An hour later, the eastern sky lightened with the first hint of dawn.
At the same time, the figure of Han Xiaoxing appeared on a hilltop in the distance, walking slowly toward Fang Lin and the others.
Everyone looked over, and their expressions instantly changed.
Han Xiaoxing’s gaze was vacant, and she moved slowly, step by step. In her right hand, she carried a bloody human head.
It was the head of Li Songwen.
Li Songwen’s eyes were wide open, filled with despair and fear, as if he had experienced tremendous suffering before his death.
Watching Han Xiaoxing, the slender figure holding a bloody human head, under the rising sun, everyone felt a unique sense of awe.
It seemed as if there was no enemy in the world that she, Han Xiaoxing, could not kill.
Qing Jianzi quickly went to meet her, as Han Xiaoxing was blind and it was already impressive that she had managed to find her way back.
Han Xiaoxing returned, bringing with her Li Songwen’s head, which everyone couldn’t resist looking at.
After all, Li Songwen was an accomplished Earth Element fifth level master who had cornered Fang Lin and escaped from the combined effort of Han Xiaoxing and Qing Jianzi.
But unexpectedly, he had still been killed by Han Xiaoxing.
The fatigue on Han Xiaoxing’s face showed that killing Li Songwen hadn’t been easy for her.
But she had still done it. Han Xiaoxing proved her formidable strength once again, justifying her reputation as the most powerful of the younger generation in Qian Country,
“Wang Tianmu!” Han Xiaoxing spoke sharply out of the blue.
Wang Tianmu jumped out of his skin, hastily responding, “Yes, Miss Xiaoxing? What can I do for you?”
