Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City
Chapter 126: Returning a Favor

Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Returning a Favor

After a rational analysis, Yi Lingchuan believed that Lan Xiyue might not know the true origin of the Ru Yuan Sword.

Otherwise, she couldn’t just carry it around so openly.

He shared these thoughts with Tian Shuang, then added, "The sudden collapse of the Gu Family and the rise of the Yu Family, something must have happened in between. Let’s first find out the identities of those two and what has happened in Binhai recently."

"Junior sister, remember, act not impulsively, always have a plan and know your enemy well."

"Senior brother is right." Tian Shuang nodded her head, but her eyes showed much defiance.

Although young, her achievements were only slightly inferior to Yi Lingchuan. In her eyes, such weaklings with inferior talents were not qualified to lecture her.

If it wasn’t out of respect for her teacher, she wouldn’t have been so humble.

Yi Lingchuan, however, didn’t notice her attitude. After leaving Binhai University, they immediately started to inquire about the identities of Lin Hao and the Gu family’s mishap.

Even began searching for the descendants of the Gu Family.

Unfortunately, despite their numerous connections in Binhai, they were unable to find anyone from the Gu Family.

Instead, they found out a lot about Lin Hao.

"This Lin Hao is no ordinary person, that Lan Xiyue is actually his maid. Entering the school for only two days, she defeated the entire Martial Arts Society, which is probably a first in the history of Binhai University."

In a tea house, Yi Lingchuan and Tian Shuang sat on a couch, with a man in a suit kneeling on one knee in front of them.

"You can go now. Keep investigating this Lin Hao and see if anything else has happened to him," Yi Lingchuan instructed.

"Yes," the man complied and then quietly retreated.

...

Meanwhile, inside Binhai University, Lan Xiyue was looking at Lin Hao strangely: "You want to take back the Ru Yuan?"

"Yes," Lin Hao calmly answered, "It’s dangerous for you to hold onto it now."

"Why?"

"Did you see those two people earlier? Their attire is from the Mingyang Sect, and this sword originally belonged to the Mingyang Sect too."

Lin Hao methodically said, "Simply put, I killed a disciple of the Mingyang Sect who had descended from the mountains and took this sword from him. Now that people from the Mingyang Sect have seen it, they will definitely cause trouble for us."

"In other words, having it in your possession now is like holding a hot potato."

"Mingyang Sect, you killed someone from the Mingyang Sect?" Lan Xiyue’s pretty face turned pale, "Are you... sure?"

"Of course I’m sure, a person named Wu Manjiang," Lin Hao said, "I got this sword from his disciple."

Lan Xiyue fell silent.

Mingyang Sect.

This sect had a long history and was well-known. It was said that the Sect Master of Mingyang, like Tang Guodong, had reached the fourth major Realm.

Cultivators are one in a million, but the Mingyang Sect had no shortage of cultivators, and the enterprises they controlled were countless.

This sect was not one to be trifled with; even her master treated people from the Mingyang Sect cordially and dared not act against them.

And Tang Guodong, who had a life-and-death feud with a member of the Mingyang Sect, had to temporarily set aside his grudge after that person joined the Mingyang Sect.

The power of the Mingyang Sect was evident from this.

But Lin Hao had killed someone from the Mingyang Sect, so how could Lan Xiyue not be shocked?

Staring blankly at the man in front of her, Lan Xiyue fell silent for a long time.

After a while, she seriously said: "Lin Hao, leave Binhai and go to another city."

"What did you call me?" Lin Hao asked earnestly.

"I’m serious, you’ve offended the Mingyang Sect. With your background, no one can protect you. The only choice now is to leave Binhai and return when you are stronger," Lan Xiyue said earnestly, even with a worried tone.

"I thought you were going to say something earth-shattering," Lin Hao replied internally unshaken, "A mere Mingyang Sect wants to trouble me, they can come if they aren’t afraid of death."

"Lin Hao, now is not the time to be arrogant," Lan Xiyue frowned tightly, "If we don’t leave now, it might be too late."

Seeing that Lan Xiyue didn’t believe his words, Lin Hao coldly replied, "You forget your status. It’s not your place to decide whether I stay or go, understand?"

"If you’re afraid, go back by yourself, return the sword to the villa, and then leave."

Such a lousy sect as the Mingyang Sect isn’t worth mentioning.

If he had to leave Binhai because of it.

Lin Hao would have lived these thousand years in vain.

Lan Xiyue wanted to argue more, but at that moment, a beautiful figure approached from a distance.

Dressed in red, with a mature body and a face with a hint of ambiguity, the woman was no less in stature or looks than Lan Xiyue.

Yao Mengchen.

She walked over with her long legs straight to Lin Hao, her charming eyes locked on him, "Lin Hao, do me a favor."

"What favor?" Lin Hao asked, confused.

"Come with me." After speaking, she did not care about the surprised looks of the people around, took Lin Hao’s hand, and headed out of the school.

Behind them, Lan Xiyue first stood dumbfounded, then her lips curled into a smirk: "You’re pretty straightforward, I haven’t even touched her hand yet."

Just as this thought arose, the image of her helping Lin Hao bathe that day suddenly surfaced, making her blush.

"Jerk, if people from the Mingyang Sect really show up, let’s see what you’ll do." Lan Xiyue held gratitude towards Lin Hao, after all, because of him, she had her current strength.

Thus, she hadn’t planned to leave Lin Hao. Remembering gratitude and repaying it was the first lesson her master taught her. She had made up her mind, if the Mingyang Sect really showed up, she would shield Lin Hao.

With her background, people from the Mingyang Sect would at least hesitate to act against her.

"You two have fun dating," Lan Xiyue murmured as she headed in another direction.

She walked to a secluded place and made a phone call.

It wasn’t long before a student stealthily approached her.

"Miss, have you finally made up your mind?" the student asked respectfully.

Lan Xiyue’s pretty face was cold: "Go back and tell my father and grandfather that as long as they agree to one condition, I’ll agree to the marriage."

"What condition, Miss?" the student asked cautiously.

"To protect someone."

"Are you referring to Lin Hao?"

"Yes," Lan Xiyue nodded, "When necessary, intervene and help him, then I’ll agree to the marriage."

"Alright, I’ll relay this message immediately. Within three days, Miss will have a response," the student said, then after ensuring no one was around, added, "Miss, if I may ask boldly, what person has Lin Hao offended that requires our family’s intervention?"

"Mingyang Sect."

Lan Xiyue breathed out these three words, the young man startled, and then no more questions asked, quietly left.
