Chapter 44: The Abandoned Young Master Long Aotian

“You don’t have to follow me.”

Pei Yichen stopped, his gaze drifted towards the green garden of the campus, and he sighed imperceptibly.

Under his stare as if it were real, after a full stick of incense, it seemed that they finally gave up the illusion that it was a false surrender. The leaves and grass in the green belt swayed without wind, and behind an old tree that was so big that two people could hug it, four people walked out one by one.

Bai Wanyan smiled flatteringly: "Well, actually, do you believe me when I say we are just passing by?"

Pei Yichen's eyes twitched: "You followed me for half an hour." Do you think I'm a fool?

"Ah, this, this..." In a hurry, she couldn't figure out what was going on.

At this time, I still have to come to the rescue.

Zhuge Yu fanned himself with a flourish, displaying his unrestrained elegance. He stepped forward and began to argue, "We were just passing by, okay? We just wanted to experience the feeling of using the green underpass today. Besides, how could you see us following you? Don't slander someone's innocence in broad daylight."

He became more and more confident as he spoke, and in the end he took the initiative, acting aggressively and proudly of his impeccable logic.

I saw it with both eyes, okay?

Pei Yichen did not want to argue with Zhuge Yu. During their time as classmates, he deeply understood that it was meaningless to argue with Zhuge Yu because he would drag you into his magical logic and defeat you with his rich experience.

Question of the Day: How did Zhuge Yu manage to grow up in a distorted way despite being born into a family known for its Confucian tradition?

Pei Yichen looked past the two people in front of him and set his eyes on the young Master Jingkong who was wearing a cassock. He could understand the others, but he really didn't expect that the usually calm Jingkong would join in the fun.

Noticing Pei Yichen's gaze, Jingkong smiled and said, "Don't be so surprised, Patron Pei. You and Miss Lin are both gifted. This battle will surely be exquisite. As people of the same generation, I and several other Patrons are eager to witness this grand spectacle with our own eyes."

Pei Yichen was speechless after hearing this. What do you mean by following you? What a joke. We are just going there to gain experience and expand our horizons. Why, you, Pei Yichen, wouldn't disagree?

After hearing Master Jingkong's highly intelligent words, Bai Wanyan and Zhuge Yu were both cheered up. They immediately felt righteous and even straightened their backs. Xiang Gucheng, who was following at the end, put his hands in his pockets and watched everything coldly.

Ever since he knew that the boy in front of him was his junior sister's biological brother, Xiang Gucheng looked at Pei Yichen with an ugly face. Pei Yichen had an ordinary appearance, ordinary strength, and a terrible personality. No matter how he looked at him, he thought that this boy was not worthy of being his junior sister's brother.

Haha, if he wasn't worried that Pei Yichen wouldn't be as skilled as others in the three-year agreement and make his junior sister heartbroken, he wouldn't bother to care whether this kid went to the three-year agreement or the seven-year agreement.

Knowing that everyone in front of him was genuinely worried about his safety, Pei Yichen stammered a few times, and an inexplicable warmth he had never felt before filled his heart. He finally tilted his head slightly, tacitly agreeing to let several people follow him, turned around and continued on his way.

yeah!

Behind him, Bai Wanyan and Zhuge Yu happily clapped their hands to celebrate their victory. They followed Pei Yichen chattering all the way to the Taoist gate of Daotian Sect, making Pei Yichen feel as if climbing up the high road to heaven was not so out of reach.

Any outsider who wants to enter the Daotian Sect's immortal gate must step over this 9,999-step stairway. Pei Yichen raised his leg and took a step. After both feet were on the white jade steps, he suddenly felt his body become heavy. The gravity on this stairway increased with each step.

Pei Yichen pursed his lips, his eyes darkening. He had been practicing diligently for years, just to avenge his previous shame today. He wanted to prove to Lin Wanqing, to his father, to everyone else that he, Pei Yichen, was by no means a useless loser!

This pressure is nothing compared to what he had endured when he was training in the gravity room.

Looking at Pei Yichen's back as he climbed the stairs alone with determination, Bai Wanyan and the other three followed him up the ladder without hesitation.

As soon as he stepped onto the stairs, Zhuge Yu couldn't help but exclaimed: "This Daotian Sect is too shameless!" After enduring such oppression, the exhausted Pei Yichen had no strength to fight back. It's a shame that this Daotian Sect is known as the number one sect in the world. Such behavior and arrogance are really too shameful.

Bai Wanyan's beautiful eyes shone brightly as she looked at Pei Yichen, saying with pity, "Poor Pei, even the Pei family has given up on him. He has no one to back him up when being bullied by the Daotian Sect."

Xiang Gucheng sneered, "If Pei Yichen still defeated Lin Wanqing despite being tormented like this by Daotian Sect, wouldn't that prove that Pei Yichen won fairly? If Daotian Sect were to go back on its word under such circumstances, wouldn't it become a laughing stock in the world? Who would care about the fig leaf of the so-called number one sect?"

Bai Wanyan and Zhuge Yu exchanged a glance, both eyes filled with disbelief. Could Pei Yichen really do something so astonishing? This was impossible...

Xiang Gucheng stopped talking, but just squinted his eyes and looked at Pei Yichen's back without stopping. He held his breath and quickened his pace to catch up.

Jingkong slowly turned the Buddhist beads in his hand, and smiled kindly at Bai Wanyan and the other two as he passed by: "Amitabha, my two benefactors, everything is possible."

Bai Wanyan didn't understand where Xiang Gucheng and Master Jingkong got their confidence in Pei Yichen. Even after hearing what Master Jingkong said, she still refused to believe it.

She looked up at the jade steps that seemed to stretch endlessly, raised her legs resignedly, and thought, forget it, she should first climb over these heavenly steps and enter the gate of Tianzong.

While Pei Yichen and his companions were climbing the mountain with great determination, on the other side, in the important place of the Five Immortals Sect in Miaojiang, Wu Lingnan quietly entered her own meeting hall again. The previous times she wanted to launch a surprise attack, she was discovered in advance by the elders and her mother, and she did not find out anything.

During this period, Wu Lingnan tried to persuade her mother with all her heart and effort, but her mother refused to give in and even avoided her again and again. At the beginning, Wu Lingnan could still catch a glimpse of her mother, but in the end, she couldn't find any trace of her mother even after a whole day and night.

It's almost time, no, we can't delay any longer.

Wu Lingnan counted the days in her mind and became more and more anxious. She had no time to waste. She found that since the day she interrupted the conversation between the elders and her mother, the elders had not continued their conversation. And her mother had been pestered by her all day long in the past few days and couldn't get away. Today, the children told her that the elders had gathered in the meeting hall again, so Wu Lingnan decided to break into the meeting hall again.

She crouched down and lurked on one side, listening with her ears pointed. Strangely, there was no sound at all. She observed quietly and found that even the lights were not on. What was going on? Could it be that the elders did not come to the meeting hall today?

But the kids wouldn't lie to her.

Wu Lingnan hesitated for a long time, but finally came to the door of the council hall, pushed it open and walked in.

A creaking sound was heard, and the hall of the meeting hall was dim. Not even a single person could be seen. She moved forward cautiously in small steps, always alert to any unusual sounds around her.

The moment she walked to the center of the lobby, that's when!

Suddenly, a bright white light appeared in front of his eyes, so sudden that Wu Lingnan couldn't open his eyes.

But she reacted extremely quickly, releasing a handful of butterfly Gu into the air in an instant, and with her other hand, she held the jade flute that she had never put down and brought it to her lips to start playing.

At this time, the white light dissipated, carrying the smell of burnt feathers. The butterfly insects released by Wu Lingnan twitched and fell to the ground one by one. A familiar woman's laughter sounded, and she felt relieved.

"Yes, it seems my son hasn't forgotten my teachings."

Wu Lingyue stroked her lips and giggled, her red flowing dress fluttering, making her look like a fairy concubine. She slowly descended from the air.

Wu Lingnan breathed a sigh of relief. It was indeed her mother. She couldn't help but complain coquettishly, "Why did you do this? I was scared to death."

Wu Lingyue glanced at her charmingly and gave her a smack on the head with her finger: "It's all because of you, a little debt collector who comes here to collect debts. You've been pestering me all the time, preventing the elders from coming to me when they have problems."

Wu Lingnan pretended not to hear this and instead looked at her mother with a hesitant look, trying to please the good girl but refusing to repent.

"Alright," Wu Lingyue poked Wu Lingnan's forehead with her green jade finger in annoyance, "I knew you'd come here. Tell me, did you meet Pei Ningheng or that kid when you went to the capital this time?"

Wu Lingnan covered her forehead and said weakly, "Mom, his name is Pei Yichen."

"Oh Pei Yichen, I didn't expect that boring guy Pei Ningheng could come up with a good name." Wu Lingyue commented nonchalantly, admiring her newly done manicure boredly, not seeming to care much about anything.

...Pei Yichen's name was actually given by her father. She thought it was given by her mother before she left.

Although Wu Lingnan was somewhat mentally prepared for her mother's attitude, she never expected that her mother would be a thousand times more cold-blooded and ruthless than she had imagined.

Facing her mother's tone, which was as cold as the Siberian wind, and thinking of Pei Yichen's current difficult situation, Wu Lingnan gritted her teeth and chose to brave the cold, saying anxiously:

"Mom, my brother has made a three-year agreement with the Daotian Sect's first disciple. If he wins, and the Daotian Sect breaks the agreement and refuses to let him get the Earth-grade spiritual weapon, then my brother will be in danger, and..." What if Pei Yichen loses? She doesn't think that the Daotian Sect will be kind enough to spare his life. Although Wu Lingnan is confident in her brother Long Aotian's attributes, she has to consider the worst case scenario.

"What does that have to do with me? The three-year agreement was made by the child himself. If that's the case, life and death are determined by fate, so you can't blame others. Also," Wu Lingyue pinched Wu Lingnan's tender cheek dissatisfiedly, "Who are you calling brother? You are my only child, how can you be my brother?"

How could this happen? Her mother actually refused to acknowledge that Pei Yichen was her child after ten months of pregnancy!

Facing Wu Lingnan's shocked gaze, Wu Lingyue frowned slightly and tugged at Wu Lingnan's hair in even greater dissatisfaction, "Why are you so surprised, my son? Back then, your mother took the initiative to lower herself and marry Pei Ningheng just to give birth to you, okay? As for that child, he was a useless failure and a boy. I didn't strangle him to death but gave him to Pei Ningheng to raise. He's lucky, okay?"
