"Young Master, there's no need for such formality. Your excessive politeness makes me feel I haven't done enough. If it weren't for the personal feud between your two factions, I would be willing to intervene and assist you. However, it's not appropriate for me to intervene directly. I can only say this: if anything untoward happens to you tomorrow, I will do my best to protect the lives of all the disciples of Heshan. What do you think, Young Master?" The Pavilion Master of Cangzhen Sword Pavilion solemnly said to Ye Liang.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liang immediately expressed even greater gratitude, saying, "Sect Leader, you flatter me. The fact that you came for the sake of Bixian Sect already makes you the closest sister sect to Bixian Sect. We naturally have no other intentions. In the future, if Cangzhen Sword Pavilion encounters any trouble, Bixian Sect, myself, and my senior sisters will certainly do the same, leading many disciples to help you out!"

"That's certainly true!"

Ye Liang made his bold statement, and the three senior sisters, along with a group of junior sisters, also bowed and agreed, confirming the promise made by the Bixian Sect.

Lin Yan added, "Brother Ye, don't worry. Although my father has a cold exterior, he has a warm heart. I dare say that if Brother Ye is no match for him tomorrow, my father will definitely take action. Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought so many men. He must have made preparations. Although he didn't say it explicitly, I know in my heart that my father loves me and would never stand idly by when it comes to things I care about."

Lin Yan's words prompted Ye Liang to reply, "I understand. However, Yan'er, believe me, tomorrow I will surely win, and the Eternal Sect will surely be defeated!"

"That's a good reply," Lin Yan said, feeling even happier. "Of course I believe Brother Ye! I almost suffered the consequences before because I didn't believe Brother Ye could help me repair the Yellow Spring Umbrella, and I almost regretted it for the rest of my life. So, from that time on, I knew that I had to believe every word Brother Ye said to me. This time will be no exception!"

These words pleased Ye Liang. What a thoughtful girl! Ye Liang smiled gently and nodded, inviting her, "Come, let's have tea and talk in the main hall of the mountain gate."

This invitation immediately filled Lin Yan with joy, and she happily followed Ye Liang to the main hall for tea and conversation!
