Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting from Fist Technique Deduction
Chapter 256 - 26: Taking the Bait

Chapter 256: Chapter 26: Taking the Bait

"The formation of the guard is a resolution jointly decided by the deans, the City Lord, and the other two martial arts academy deans a while ago. Led by the top ten disciples from each academy, they form a guard against demonic forces," Qi Yu explained as he noticed Lin Yuan’s confusion.

"The guard captain can freely organize team members to form the guard. They follow the academy’s orders and, together with Baiyan City, resist the attacks from the demon sect."

"I wonder if Junior Brother Lin is interested."

"Resisting demon sect attacks?" Lin Yuan furrowed his brow, hesitating.

The environment he most wished for was one that could provide enough medicinal herbs for him to refine pills, deduce cultivation techniques, and gradually become stronger.

He was really unwilling to join the guard rashly, as the risks were unpredictable.

Currently, he knew very well about his own strength. He could handle someone like He Run with ease. But if he were against a strong person like Qi Yu, he was not confident at all.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but look at Qi Yu again.

Looking at this extremely beautiful woman, her simple and elegant robe accentuated her graceful figure, particularly her proud posture, which truly caught his attention. Her chilly demeanor was deeply captivating.

But compared to his own life, such desires could only be forcibly suppressed.

No matter, joining the guard is too risky, even if the other person looks like a celestial beauty.

He really didn’t want to agree and couldn’t agree. Isn’t it better to live peacefully and have a lovely wife by your side?

Qi Yu’s eyes swept over lightly, seeing Lin Yuan’s hesitation, and she sighed softly.

Knowing that her request was indeed somewhat abrupt.

Perhaps having just heard such news, he might need some time to digest it.

"Junior Brother Lin, joining the guard indeed entails some risk. But it also comes with opportunities," Lu Yanxiu, knowing Qi Yu’s mind, added at the right moment: "The academy has already decided that the academy’s treasure vault is opened to all guard disciples. As long as it’s on the treasure list, it can be exchanged through contributions from slaying demon sect members."

"Whether it’s cultivation techniques or pill recipes, it can be." Lu Yanxiu smiled mysteriously, lowering her voice: "Moreover, there’s a precious treasure in the academy’s vault that can help one break through the acupoints and enter the spiritual essence."

"Pill recipes? Cultivation techniques? All can be exchanged through contributions from slaying demon sect disciples!"

Lin Yuan’s heart was momentarily swayed. These were things he really needed.

And he currently had no channels to obtain them.

It seemed joining the guard was indeed a good opportunity.

Lin Yuan took a deep breath, then suppressed his desires once again.

Some people stumble because they only see the benefits without seeing the risks involved.

High returns, high risks.

This statement is an eternal truth in any era.

Could the demon sect disciples be that easy to kill? Moreover, they are called the demon sect, those methods of theirs, he still couldn’t fully understand.

He deeply understood the risks involved.

Not to mention anything else, just dealing with a ghost Taoist earlier made him use all his cards. If it weren’t for the strength of the nine Chapters, he would have already been a skeleton in the grave, with no chance of being here talking and laughing.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan completely suppressed the surging emotions.

"Senior Sisters, this matter is of great importance, allow me to consult with my teacher before giving you an answer. What do you think?" Lin Yuan calmly deferred after regaining his composure.

Qi Yu and the others understood his meaning, assuming he still had some doubts, so they decided to give him time to think.

Of course, if Lin Yuan really refused, each person has their ambitions, and they wouldn’t force him.

For a moment, all three fell silent, with only the kettle gently boiling gurgling.

After a while, Qi Yu set down her teacup, softly reminded, "Junior Brother Lin, while the Long Brow Elder holds an esteemed position, he cannot favor you entirely. Even the dean’s disciple needs merits."

"The resources of the Black Dragon Pool alone are not enough to support continued martial cultivation."

Qi Yu’s eyes flashed with solemnity: "Moreover, with the demon sect attack, the world’s situation is different from the past, and perhaps the current peace is about to be broken. I hope you will consider it more. Even if not joining my team, consider other teams."

"Thank you for your advice, Senior Sister. Lin Yuan will remember."

After that, they moved away from the topic, gradually discussing insights into martial cultivation.

As they became more familiar, their relations grew somewhat closer.

After about the time it takes for a cup of tea, Qi Yu suddenly thought of something: "Junior Brother Lin, do you know who attacked when Shen Shuyan made his move? I was too far away at that time, with too many people, couldn’t see clearly."

Lin Yuan heard this and shook his head slightly, his eyes lowered: "I don’t know either. But someone wants to put me to death, and the complex ties behind this naturally need thorough investigation."

"Judging by the time, it should be about time to get started."

A cold color flashed in Lin Yuan’s eyes as he stood up: "I wonder if Senior Sister Qi is interested in accompanying me for a trip?"

Both Qi Yu and Lu Yanxiu were taken aback simultaneously.

Lin Yuan gestured slightly, asking Qiao Yuanjing to prepare sturdy horses. Then he led the two towards the back door: "Senior Sisters, let me explain."

"Those who tried to kill me, I suspect their true goal is to incite conflict between the Yun Yin and Zhe Guang factions within the academy. As long as I die, then no matter the circumstances, Zhe Guang will be inseparable from the affair."

"So many people witnessed it, this matter surely can’t be covered up. And though my strength is weak."

Qi Yu and Lu Yanxiu listened intently, and when Lin Yuan mentioned his weak strength, both of their mouths twitched slightly.

Junior Brother is really humble.

But Lin Yuan didn’t notice their expressions and continued analyzing: "Once I’m dead, the struggle between Yun Yin and Zhe Guang would escalate from conflict to tearing their faces, fighting to the death. By then, the struggle from both sides would become more intense, injuring the vitality of the entire academy."

"Therefore, someone intentionally incited conflicts. But what they didn’t anticipate was that my strength was enough to dissolve the crisis," Lin Yuan said calmly.

"Then what does this have to do with us going out?" Lu Yanxiu raised her eyebrows, curious.

"If someone wants to incite factional conflict, failing to kill me, but now there’s another chance. They can still achieve their purpose, and the induced conflict would be more profound," Lin Yuan’s eyes suddenly flashed with coldness.

Based on Lin Yuan’s analysis, countless thoughts flashed through Qi Yu’s mind. Suddenly a light bulb went off, she couldn’t help but stare at Lin Yuan with beautiful eyes flashing with unusual color.

"Junior Brother Lin, are you saying," Qi Yu’s mouth lightly opened, her voice also carrying some coldness, "framing and shifting blame?"

Lin Yuan nodded slightly: "Yes, that’s right. Now, the fish have taken the bait!"

But as Qi Yu and Lin Yuan conversed, Lu Yanxiu listened with confusion, "What exactly are you two talking about? It’s hard to understand."

By this time, the three had stepped out of the back door of the courthouse.

Lin Yuan took the reins of a sturdy horse, stepped onto the saddle, and whispered: "Senior Sister Lu, they may have failed to kill me, but killing a heavily injured He Run is very easy."

"So, as long as He Run dies, it’s the Black Dragon Pool’s fault, also my fault. The situation between Zhe Guang and Yun Yin will completely deteriorate!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yanxiu immediately realized the severity.

Her previously relaxed expression suddenly showed shock, and her breathing became heavy.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan smiled faintly: "Steward Qiao, lead the way!"

Qiao Yuanjing had an earnest expression, cupped her fists, and then urged the horse forward, leading the way.

Clap clap clap!

The sound of a few whips cracking echoed, and four figures gradually disappeared at the end of the road.
