Chapter 289: Chapter 57 Invitation (2)

But at the critical moment of breakthrough, Qi Yu knew that Lin Yuan used his divine soul to erase traces for her.

"Brother Lin is considerate."

Qi Yu thought to herself, recalling the earnest demeanor of her junior brother in the next room, a touch of emotion welled up in her heart.

Yet, in no time, she suppressed her thoughts and immersed herself back into the breakthrough insights.

She had begun to sense, her divine soul could now continuously expand and contract, like strands of rain, changing relentlessly with the shape of the wind.

And with Lin Yuan’s divine soul concealing them, the entire Black Dragon Pool residence was unusually calm.

Inside the room, oil lamps burned brightly.

Lin Yuan sat in front of the desk, outlining his situation and the invitation from Qi Yu to the Daoist with long eyebrows.

Soon after, Lin Yuan’s letter was delivered swiftly to the desk of the Daoist with long eyebrows.

Time passed quickly.

On the third day, Qiao Yuanjing handed over the reply from the Daoist with long eyebrows.

After reading the reply, Lin Yuan sighed inwardly: "I need to kill the Demon Sect disciples to pass down the cultivation technique under such a name."

This condition is somewhat demanding, to say the least. If I had the ability to kill Demon Sect disciples, why would I need the third or fourth divine diagram to enhance my strength?

However, Lin Yuan thought again, shaking his head slightly: "I’m trapped in a thought error. Killing Demon Sect disciples doesn’t mean I have to do it myself. Joining the fray provides a legitimate reason, doesn’t it?"

Lin Yuan immediately understood the Daoist’s intentions.

It’s clear that he wants him to join the Guards soon. Since Qi Yu invites him, he should consider it carefully. After all, executing missions requires trustworthy personnel; how could their safety be assured otherwise?

The balance in this requires him to grasp it himself.

With this in mind, Lin Yuan had essentially made up his mind.

Just then, Qiao Yuanjing knocked on his door once more: "Master, several academy disciples are in the reception hall, saying they are here to visit."

Lin Yuan’s gaze sharpened.

Academy disciples, who could they be?

And in the quiet chamber beside, Qi Yu’s aura gradually neared its end, with no one disturbing, nor did she need him to expend extra effort to care for her.

After a brief moment of reflection, he began to stride toward the reception hall.

Lin Yuan had just stepped into the hall when he saw someone already seated at the head.

The person wore a dark purple brocade robe, a gold-thread belt around his waist, had short hair, knife-like eyebrows, bull-like eyes, a robust physique, an imposing figure.

Below him, three others sat on circle chairs, showing traces of disdain upon seeing Lin Yuan.

After all, they ranked within the top fifty, and they came here mostly due to senior brother’s face.

The burly man at the top glanced at Lin Yuan as he entered and laughed: "Lin Yuan?"

Lin Yuan frowned upon hearing this, patiently saluted with fists clasped: "It’s me, may I know who you are, senior brothers?"

Seeing Lin Yuan’s gentle temperament, the man nodded: "On orders from Brother Miao Junyuan, I’m here to invite you to join his Guards."

"?"

Lin Yuan hesitated a bit.

Miao Junyuan’s name he had heard of; he’s a disciple ranked seventh in the academy. But why was he the one inviting him? This surprised him a little.

"What? You’re hesitating over Brother Miao, ranked seventh?" The burly man’s face turned displeased, coldly said.

Meanwhile, the nearby folks grew impatient as Lin Yuan hesitated.

"Lin Yuan, you’ve swelled in pride just because you defeated Xu Feixian and killed a few water monsters?"

"Brother Miao’s recalling your name is an immense favor. And here you are, hesitating?"

"You should take a look at yourself in the mirror, see who you are. Even those disciples ranked in the top fifty must offer many treasures to join Brother Miao’s ranks, truly no sight."

The disdain leaked from their words made Lin Yuan frown.

Just as Lin Yuan was about to speak, another four people walked in.

"You are Lin Yuan?"

The leading one looked like a noble scion, exuding an aura of dignity and might, holding a folding fan, clapped it twice in his palm, and immediately questioned.

"What day is it today, to gather so many in Black Dragon Pool?"

Lin Yuan frowned more deeply.

Yet his expression remained calm, he replied indifferently: "That’s me."

But the man glanced at the burly fellow behind Lin Yuan, slightly bowed and said: "Dai Xingzhou? You’re also here?"

"Acting on senior brother’s orders, here at Black Dragon Pool," the burly Dai Xingzhou nodded, his gaze also showed confusion: "Are you also here inviting Lin Yuan to join the Guards?"

Sun Jitong’s strength matched Dai Xingzhou’s, both around thirty-something rankings. Yet Sun Jitong followed Ji Yuanbai, obviously here to invite Lin Yuan as well.

But Lin Yuan had merely defeated Xu Feixian ranked seventies, when did he become so desirable?

However, Sun Jitong slightly shook his head, his gaze fell back on Lin Yuan and coldly said: "Since Wind-faction’s Brother Dai is here, I may as well be upfront."

Lin Yuan sensed the hostility, his attitude turned cold, eyes calm as he looked at the opponent.

Seeing Lin Yuan’s calm eyes, Sun Jitong’s true intention suddenly surged, heavy aura pressed deviously upon Lin Yuan.

The opponent’s acupoints converged approaching fifty, fiercely formidable. On the surface, Lin Yuan surely couldn’t match.

Lin Yuan’s mind raced, took a step back.

Now, with the imminent battle against the Demon Sect, revealing all strength is unwise.

Seeing Lin Yuan cowed by the imposing aura, Sun Jitong’s gaze showed disdain, threateningly said: "We’re here merely to remind you one thing. Don’t get too close to Sister Qi Yu, else anger the senior brothers. Demon Sect in future, methods are ruthless, junior brother should be wary."

Lin Yuan heard this, his eyes lowered slightly, saying nothing.

While icy-eyed Dai Xingzhou behind him seemed astonished: "Oh, is that it?"

Instantly exchanged glances with others, he vaguely understood the implication.

Initially, with Miao Junyuan’s instruction, inviting Lin Yuan into the team was proper. But now Lin Yuan had clearly offended those above Sun Jitong.

Despite Dai Xingzhou’s rugged appearance, his mind was meticulous.

If continued inviting Lin Yuan into the team, would evidently offend Ji Yuanbai’s faction. Unjustly attracting foes for Miao Junyuan, highly unwise.

Moreover, with Sun Jitong’s words, Lin Yuan likely wouldn’t be recruited by any team.

After pondering, he spoke: "Brother Lin, earlier invitation to Brother Miao’s team, but since you’re hesitant, doubtless you have your intentions. Brother Miao’s team is too small to hold such a true Buddha like you."

Sun Jitong showed a smile upon hearing this.

With a swish.

Sun Jitong spread his fan wide, smile broadened.

"Lin Yuan, perhaps you could ask me, if I agree, might allow you join a team under Cloud-hidden faction. Otherwise, I say, no team would dare accept you."

The laughter burst among those behind Sun Jitong.

No choice, as Lin Yuan offended the prominent senior brother. For Lin Yuan, the sole path is facing that senior brother to plead forgiveness, might gain pardon.

Lin Yuan took a deep breath, expression extremely calm, about to speak.

An icy voice sounded from outside the hall: "Such decisive words, no one dares to accept Lin Yuan?"

Everyone looked, seeing Qi Yu with frosty face, glaring at Sun Jitong and coldly said: "If I invite Lin Yuan to the team, what could you do?"
