With a flick of his finger, a pill flew towards Lin Xiuyuan.
"This kind of pill can help her recover her strength faster and also has a boosting effect, so she won't fail."
Lin Xiuyuan subconsciously accepted the pill, and upon hearing these words, he immediately stood up, cupped his hands in a bow, and said, "Thank you for bestowing the pill upon me, Senior Zhao!"
Upon seeing this scene, many people's expressions changed. The young man in brocade was slightly taken aback, then immediately turned his head away and said nothing more.
Upon seeing this, Li Hongfu narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of apprehension flashing across his face.
Now, Old Qin couldn't sit still any longer. After taking in the previous and the current scene, he couldn't help but get up and walk towards Qin Suwan.
"What... happened between you and Master Lin? What did you do?!"
Upon approaching, Old Qin asked in a low voice.
As he was leaving, he noticed Lin Xiuyuan's attitude towards Qin Suwan and felt something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Later, when they were preparing to leave, the Li uncle and nephew had a private conversation with Lin Xiuyuan, which made Old Qin feel that something was wrong. However, he had too little information to make a judgment or sort out his thoughts.
And since they were preparing to flee the market, Old Qin did not investigate further and kept it to himself.
But now, seeing Zhao De's special care for Lin Xiuyuan, and noticing the faint hint of apprehension on Li Hongfu's face, he realized that...
This gave Old Qin a clue, and his face turned ugly.
Looking back now, that private conversation seemed strange in every way. Li Hongfu had a friendly expression on his face, while Li Yongyuan seemed overly enthusiastic, as if he were forcing a smile...
How could you not understand? That scene seemed to be resolving some conflicts.
We'll need to look after each other for the rest of the journey...
He had a high opinion of Lin Xiuyuan's character and believed that as long as the matter was resolved, the matter would not be pursued further.
Therefore, at this moment, Old Master Qin looked at Qin Suwan with a somewhat stern expression.
"What's wrong? Nothing, at most I just used him as a shield..."
Qin Suwan was somewhat confused.
Upon hearing this, Old Qin immediately followed the clues and understood the reason.
It must have been that Li Yongyuan believed it to be true, or that he acted out of some other mindset, only to later discover that Lin Xiuyuan had a Foundation Establishment expert like Zhao De backing him, which led to that series of events...
That's why Lin Xiuyuan's attitude towards Qin Suwan was so cold and distant.
It seems that if it weren't for his influence, Lin Xiuyuan's attitude wouldn't have been merely cold and distant...
"You're so foolish! Don't you understand how strong Li Yongyuan's feelings for you are? He'll definitely take targeted actions against Master Lin, and it might even endanger his life..."
Old Qin shook his head and explained in a low voice.
Qin Suwan was clearly not stupid, but she was inexperienced in worldly affairs. Everything was handled by Old Master Qin, so she spent her days in asceticism and was ignorant of worldly matters.
After Qin Lao's explanation, they immediately understood.
"Is that so? I didn't expect it to cause him so much trouble. I just acted impulsively at the time, wanting to cut off Li Yongyuan's hopes directly..."
A hint of guilt appeared on Qin Suwan's face as she said apologetically.
Old Qin said, "Tell them what you're saying. We'll need to look out for each other on the journey ahead, not to mention that this escape plan was entirely thanks to Master Lin! Find some time to apologize properly and explain things clearly. As long as you're sincere, I believe Master Lin won't take it too seriously."
"Okay!" Qin Suwan nodded and planned to go and say it right away.
However, just as Qin Suwan turned around, a sudden change occurred.
At this moment, Zhao De's expression changed slightly, and as he raised his hand, a decree swirled up.
Immediately, everyone present changed their expressions and turned to look in the direction of the ancient forest.
Figures appeared faintly at the edge of the dense forest.
Two figures stepped forward first, dressed in black robes. One was a middle-aged cultivator, and the other an elderly cultivator. The spiritual energy emanating from them was extremely powerful.
It seems that he is no less capable than Zhao De!
As they saw the scene unfolding before them, the wariness in their expressions gradually faded, and they seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Heh, looks like we're in luck; that old guy isn't here..."
Then, they put away the talismans they had been holding.
The middle-aged cultivator's expression gradually turned cold. With a wave of his hand, he said, "Kill!"
In an instant, figures emerged from the dense forest, including about ten late-stage and perfect Qi Refining cultivators, as well as two Great Perfection cultivators above the tenth level.
