Chapter 248 It’s You

Lin Xiaoman also fell silent. After a while, he took a deep breath and became alert.

"Luckily we all got out!"

"Well, fortunately, they are all out."

Chen Shuyan was seriously injured this time and needed some time to recuperate, so they decided to return to the sect as soon as possible.

"There will be a boat back to land tomorrow morning. Let's leave tomorrow morning. This Penglai Island has cast a shadow on me."

Although Lin Xiaoman gained a lot this time, and it seemed that there was no particularly dangerous moment, he was still frightened and experienced many dangers. He originally came here to have fun and earn some spirit stones, but who knew that he almost lost his life.

"Okay, let's leave tomorrow morning."

Not only them, but other people who came out of the Nine-Day Trial also wanted to leave Penglai Island as soon as possible.

So, on this day, after Lin Xiaoman and Chen Shuyan got on the boat, they found that Chen Zixin was looking for someone on the boat.

"I'm only looking for Fu Xiu. Are you a Fu Xiu?"

As soon as she got on the boat, she heard Chen Zixin's voice, asking questions to each monk one by one. Lin Xiaoman's heart skipped a beat. Why is this guy so stubborn? He is still looking for her?

No way?!

If it weren't for his bad intuition, Lin Xiaoman would have suspected that the other party was looking for him. It might be a coincidence that Chen Zixin was looking for another talisman cultivator for something.

However, the reality is obviously not the case, and they are looking for her.

But... she tried hard to recall it several times, but there was no evidence left, so she just denied it.

"Are you two Daoists practicing talismans? I am Chen Zixin from the Yanyue Sect."

Lin Xiaoman and Chen Shuyan got on the boat, and the other party really came over to ask.

Chen Shuyan raised his eyebrows. She was still holding her sword in her hand. It was obvious that she was a sword cultivator!

So, although Chen Zixin asked this, his eyes were looking at Lin Xiaoman.

Lin Xiaoman nodded calmly, "I am."

Chen Zixin's expression tensed. He took a step forward and stared at Lin Xiaoman. "Have you ever been to a canyon with a pool of water?"

Lin Xiaoman blinked and asked her in confusion, "I wonder what kind of canyon and pool of water Fellow Daoist Chen is talking about? I've been to many such places when I was out on missions."

Chen Zixin frowned, "I'm talking about the Nine Days Trial."

"Nine-day trial, did you go?"

No matter who it is, anyone who has entered the Nine-Day Trial will try to hide it. No one would come and ask so openly. If people knew that she had survived the Nine-Day Trial, wouldn't they all think she was a walking treasure trove?

Everyone is saying that anyone who comes out of the Nine Days Trial will get a great opportunity and become a big shot in the future.

Chen Zixin's face turned grim upon hearing this. "Of course I'll go. I'm looking for a talisman cultivator. You're a talisman cultivator, and you've been to the Nine Heavens Trial, right?"

"No, I don't have that luck."

Lin Xiaoman thought about the people she had met during the Nine-Day Trial. The only ones she had actually met in person were the three men who robbed people on the road. But when she looked around, she found that the three men were not on the boat. She thought they might have died in the trial.

"real?"

Chen Zixin didn't believe it. "Those who are sailing out to sea today are basically all those who have come out of the Nine Days Trial. You are not one of them. Then why did you wait until today to leave?"

"Really? Are you saying that everyone on this ship has just come out of the Nine Days Trial? Doesn't that mean everyone has received a great opportunity and has a ton of treasures?"

Lin Xiaoman's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but glance at everyone on the boat.

Everyone had long been dissatisfied with what Chen Zixin had said, and seeing this, some people couldn't help but speak up, "I wasn't chosen. I just came out of seclusion and am ready to go back."

"Yeah, I wasn't chosen either. I just happened to have a boat today, so I set off."

......

Everyone was talking at once, denying that they had ever been to the Nine Heavens Trial. Chen Shuyan's face turned ugly when he heard it.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, there are many talisman practitioners in the world. If you are looking for someone, go find the person you are looking for. Don't make random accusations here. We in the Tianyan Sect are not afraid of your Yanyue Sect."

Chen Shuyan pulled Lin Xiaoman and turned to walk towards their room on the boat. He glanced at Chen Zixin coldly and said.

"Am I making random accusations? I was just asking a few questions, but you guys reacted so strongly. I now suspect you're just guilty."

Chen Zixin has always been the pride of the sect and family since he was a child. He has always been praised by others. When has he ever been humiliated like this?

"It's hilarious! With your attitude, who would want to bother with you? What? I'm not flattering you, but I'm just feeling guilty. What are you feeling guilty about?"

"Yeah, what are the characteristics of the talisman you are looking for? It can't be that he hasn't appeared yet."

Someone echoed from behind, "That's right. You just come up and ask a bunch of questions without any context. If you don't know, you might think this is your Yanyue Sect's base."

"I've heard that the people of the Moon-Shattering Sect are very domineering. They even stopped people and tried to search their storage bags. If they didn't show me, they wouldn't let them pass."

Lin Xiaoman shook his head and said, "I didn't expect it to be true. Now that I see it, I can see it wasn't exaggerated."

"Hey, this is true. A good friend of mine was investigated by them in the past. But we are independent cultivators, weak and powerless, so we had no choice but to bow our heads and let them investigate. They are used to being overbearing."

Lin Xiaoman was delighted when he heard this. Great, thank you for the help from these strangers!

Chen Zixin's face looked extremely ugly because of what everyone said, but there was no one from her Yanyue Sect on this boat, especially since Ying was gone. She didn't even have a helper. Even though she had the highest cultivation level here, she was only slightly higher than others. For example, the sword cultivator next to the Fu cultivator opposite was also in the late Foundation Establishment Stage and was a sword cultivator. This was a very tough opponent.

At that moment, she could only swallow her anger, look at Lin Xiaoman deeply, and remember the other person's appearance.

Lin Xiaoman felt a chill on her back and followed Chen Shuyan into their own room.

"call!"

"Xiao Man, it can't be really you, right?"

After entering the room, Chen Shuyan quickly added a protective shield and formation to their room to isolate it from detection and sensing, and asked Lin Xiaoman in a low voice.

Lin Xiaoman nodded, "It's very likely." She told him about her retreat in the cave. As for the Nine-Leaf Lotus and the Spiritual Vein, she didn't say anything.

Even with the best of friends, one still has to keep one's cultivation matters confidential, as it is a matter of life and death.

"You know what? It might be true, but what does it have to do with you? It's clearly their own fault for not being strong enough. You were practicing peacefully, but they interrupted you and tried to kill you. Couldn't you resist?"

Chen Shuyan was speechless after hearing this, and said with a grim expression, "There's not a single good person in the Yanyue Sect. They're all domineering. Ignore her. Once we get to land, let's quickly take the teleportation array back to the sect."

Although the other party ignored her, she couldn't prevent him from going crazy. Now she was injured and her strength was only 50% to 60% of her peak period. If they really fought, she and Xiaoman probably wouldn't win.
