Chapter 106: Chapter 94: The Fierce Bandit

The residence of the Flying Cloud Gang.

Duan Yu finished assigning tasks to the various halls and went alone to Sun Guangchun’s study. At this time, Sun Guangchun was sitting with his eyes closed, deep in thought.

"Gang Leader, when do we take action? Any instructions?" Duan Yu closed the door and asked in a low voice.

"Plans have changed! We still need to wait! As early as seven days, as late as half a month." Sun Guangchun’s face was calm, but his mind was turbulent, unable to suppress it.

"Then what about us?" Duan Yu was somewhat hesitant.

Originally ready to take action, now to temporarily stop again, he was at a loss.

"Recently, I received news from above; Ao Daguang’s ambitions are not small." Sun Guangchun sneered coldly, saying fiercely, "He wants to swallow everything, but, heh heh."

Sun Guangchun didn’t explain clearly, and Duan Yu’s thoughts were chaotic; the two fell into silence.

After a few breaths, Duan Yu licked his lips.

"Old Sun, I really can’t see through this time," Duan Yu said softly, frowning, feeling low.

"If you really have no assurance, make plans early!" Sun Guangchun stared at him, his face somber.

Duan Yu remained silent with a conflicting expression.

********

Seven days later.

"Blade Intent infusion, is this Qi Essence?" Lin Yuan sat quietly in front of the desk.

Holding Shi Xin’s Ring Blade, he rubbed it continuously.

As Qi Essence flowed in, the Ring Blade almost merged with Lin Yuan, like an extension of his body.

Withdrawing Qi Essence, Lin Yuan picked up the Ring Blade and lightly scraped it on his left arm.

The robe immediately tore open, then cut into the skin.

Zii.

The skin rubbed against the Ring Blade.

With a little more force, the Ring Blade could still break the epidermis, but it felt dull.

"Try infusing Qi Essence."

Lin Yuan’s gaze focused as he operated the strand of Qi Essence transformed by the Dantian grindstone, channeling it into the Ring Blade.

Swish!

With a slight force, it was as if the blade’s edge flashed.

Lin Yuan was startled by the sharpness of the blade, quickly withdrawing his hand.

Bam!

Lin Yuan’s movement was too large, instantly knocking over the desk.

Yet the blade’s light momentum didn’t diminish, directly striking the ground.

Like a stream of light, the blade’s edge left a shallow mark on the hard rock.

"Such a strong blade light."

Lin Yuan’s pupils constricted in surprise.

Originally in the Qi-Blood stage, his skin was perfect, and ordinary swords and knives couldn’t harm him, but now under the Qi-born blade light, it was as fragile as window gauze.

"Luckily, I didn’t let Shi Xin get the Ring Blade that day." Lin Yuan felt a stroke of luck.

"However, compared to mine, Shi Xin’s blade isn’t as pure." Lin Yuan shook his head, thinking about the difference between himself and Shi Xin.

Earlier, he comprehended the Condensing Essence Skill, naming it the Intention Grinding Technique.

The key is the creation of the intention grindstone. Every Cultivation Technique can be used to build a grindstone, then produce a corresponding intent, integrate it into one’s Qi-Blood, and stimulate Qi Essence.

Now, he was using his second intention grindstone, the Fiery Fire Blade Intent from the Fiery Fire Lotus Blade.

With Qi Essence derived from the transformation of nine Chapters, the intent is extremely pure, hence sharper.

"Once the third grindstone is completed, I should be able to protect myself."

Looking at the overturned desk, Lin Yuan smiled faintly.

Calming his mood, Lin Yuan opened the door.

At this moment, Xiao Yun was cleaning.

The courtyard was covered with yellow-green and red leaves from the Chinese tallow tree.

Xiao Yun wore a green robe. Being young, she hadn’t grown fully, her petite figure amidst the scene.

Like a picturesque view, it looked beautifully indescribable.

The little girl gradually gathered the fallen leaves with a broom, arranging them into a cute cat face, then giggled at the cat face.

"Ahem ahem."

Lin Yuan walked over, coughing from a distance.

Xiao Yun quickly swept away the leaves messily, trying to erase any traces.

"Young Master, how come you have time to come out today?" Xiao Yun blushed, curiously asked.

"I just saw a wild cat on the wall, it looked cute, so I planned to catch it." Lin Yuan teased.

"But it disappeared as soon as it landed. I’m still looking for it. Xiao Yun, have you seen where the cat may have hidden?"

"Young Master, you’re just teasing. I won’t talk to you." Xiao Yun, with a puffed-up chest, ran away blushing.

Watching Xiao Yun’s flushed face, Lin Yuan smiled, feeling a burst of contentment.

After wandering around, Lin Yuan was in a great mood.

Looking at the sky, filled with dense clouds, and the occasional cold wind swirling on the ground.

"Will the snow be exceptionally cold this winter?"

*******

Another four days passed in a blink of an eye.

This day, Han Zhong visited.

Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised by Han Zhong’s visit.

It stood to reason that a few hall masters didn’t favor him now, and few people would come.

Earlier, Wu Yangqing and Han Zhong reported twice, but after that, there was no news.

As for the purpose of his visit, Lin Yuan was puzzled.

Of course, Lin Yuan didn’t care much about their attitude towards him. Many people watch from the fence and tend to side with whoever wins; that’s human nature.

Han Zhong didn’t come empty-handed; he brought a pot of goose and roast chicken, as well as a jug of rice wine.

Lin Yuan instructed Xiao Yun to prepare a few meat dishes, with the goose and roast chicken on a table in the pavilion.

Unsealing the wine jug, he poured a bowl for Han Zhong, who bowed to receive it.

"Senior Brother, forgive the unexpected visit today," Han Zhong said in a deep voice, holding the porcelain bowl with both hands.

"Heh heh." Lin Yuan chuckled lightly.

The two clinked their wine bowls and each drank one.

"In three more days, Senior Brother’s closed-door period will end." Han Zhong looked at Lin Yuan earnestly and said, "Senior Brother, three days later, the path is treacherous. How about returning to the academy and finding another way?"

Listening to him, Lin Yuan didn’t speak, just holding his rice wine to drink another bowl.

Seeing Lin Yuan’s unmoved expression, Han Zhong sighed quietly.

"I’ve followed Senior Brother and admired his character." Han Zhong reached into his clothes, pulled out two porcelain bottles, and placed them on the table. "Over the years working in Huaining Hall, I’ve accumulated some savings."

"Yesterday, I exchanged it all for Five Qi Pills, totaling twenty." Han Zhong pushed the bottles toward Lin Yuan and continued, "Take these, Senior Brother. Use a little influence in the academy, and they should be useful."

"Why?"

Lin Yuan paused, glanced at the bottles, then fixed his eyes on Han Zhong’s calm gaze.

"I admire your character, Senior Brother, for doing what I dare not. I don’t want to see you lose your life over this." Han Zhong spoke sincerely, "During your closed-door period, Wu Yangqing and I visited, but Wang Wei warned us not to continue. Hence, the break in contact."

"Now your future is uncertain, and I feel unease, so I came." Han Zhong’s tone and expression were heavy.

"Heh heh."

Lin Yuan felt a warm feeling in his heart, stood up, and with a smile, patted Han Zhong on the shoulder.

"Junior Brother Han, as the saying goes: seize the day, live for the moment. Why bear a rebirth of worries, let’s drink, drink." Lin Yuan cheerfully clinked his wine bowl with Han Zhong’s again.

Lin Yuan was stubborn, clearly unwilling to return to the academy.

Han Zhong drained his bowl in one gulp, but somehow found the wine unbearably bitter.

*******

Two days later, at Qiao Yifei’s mansion in the Lotus Gang.

"I’ve heard that Qiao Yifei of the Lotus Gang possesses the Flying Ape Dharma Body and superb martial arts. I, Pang Biao, have come to learn from you."

A robust voice came from atop the gate.

A broad-faced man was standing on the rooftop, shouting towards the inner courtyard. His martial prowess was at the Condensing Essence level, his voice carrying power with Qi Essence, penetrating the entire large courtyard clearly.

"What an unreasonable brute, come down here! Or I’ll show you!" The servant staff shouted hurriedly.

The Lotus Gang’s Martial Artists yelled fiercely, "Where did this fool come from! Daring to cause trouble at the Lotus Gang’s gate, seeking death!"

Pang Biao paid no attention to the cursing crowd, continuing to speak.

"Qiao Yifei, why are you silent? Just sending a few minions to deal with Master Biao? Have you turned into a eunuch?"

"Shut your smelly mouth, you scum." Upon hearing him, the crowd erupted in anger.

Those standing near the gate, a few people leapt up to the roof and charged at Pang Biao.

Pang Biao saw them coming, acting indifferent.

With hands held, he continued shouting, "Qiao Yifei, I’ve heard your daughter is tender and lovely. I’m short of a foot-washing maid; why not let me take her to lick my feet? Hahaha."
