Chapter 67
The atmosphere in the hall was somewhat tense.
When Jin Moli heard that her cousin and cousin-in-law had gotten into trouble, her face fell. Yang Lanling, who was sitting next to her, felt as if there were needles pricking his seat, making him very uneasy.
Instructor Yun was unavailable, so Instructor Jin stepped in.
Looking at the little ones, with their stern faces, they were utterly ruthless. They were tortured by a single surgical procedure, yet they still tilted their innocent faces and said, "That's it."
They used to look down on others, but now that it was their turn, the long-lost sense of defeat spurred them on like clockwork, driving them to the brink of despair.
That's not all; the real problem is that they can't compete in martial arts, and they can't compete in academics either.
Those incredibly profound ancient characters were giving everyone a headache.
They are not cultivators at the moment, nor do they have the superhuman physical abilities of their instructors, so this period of time is quite difficult for them.
Yang Lanling suddenly looked up and couldn't help but feel a little scared when he saw her like this.
Seeing that Jin Moli was tilting her head and looking over again, Yang Lanling immediately straightened his posture.
Lingxi stared at the sloshing tea and pressed, "When did this happen?"
Yang Lanling: "It came to us yesterday; Comrade Jin Li contacted us directly."
Lingxi naturally understood the rest of the meaning.
It seems that official intervention alone is not enough to achieve the desired effect; Lingxi's intervention is necessary.
After the major renovation of Linxidong, the remaining households were assigned logistical work based on their circumstances. Jin Li, who was highly educated and experienced, was hired as an office clerk.
They just happened to have time off, how did they manage to choose this place for their trip!
That's great, we've gone straight to their lair.
Headache!
Seeing that Yang Lanling was sitting uncomfortably, and glancing at Jin Moli who seemed to be lost in thought, Lingxi nodded: "I understand."
"I'll talk to the manager directly later."
Since Yang Lanling still had training, Lingxi didn't keep him any longer and let him go back first.
Jin Moli stepped forward, her face filled with worry: "Master, is it related to that cult?"
"Hmm, most likely." Lingxi patted her head. "Don't worry, Master is here for you!"
"Uh-huh."
"But I'm afraid that you might..."
Jin Moli didn't say those words aloud, but Lingxi understood. The little girl was only a teenager, and like her, she had already lost her loved ones. Now, another close relative had met with misfortune.
It's hard not to feel a little bad.
"No, Master has already reached the Foundation Establishment stage and is extremely powerful."
The girl forced a smile, nodded, and said nothing.
Lingxi hugged her affectionately.
At this moment, a phantom gradually solidified beside Lingxi.
Jin Moli happened to see this, and immediately took a few steps back, whispering, "Senior."
Su Yuan gave a soft "hmm" in response.
Having long been accustomed to her senior's attitude, Kim Mo-ri didn't take it to heart and picked up the teapot to pour her a cup of tea.
Seeing this, Lingxi pouted, somewhat speechless.
"He always orders my apprentice around. Jasmine, don't pour him water."
Jin Moli said, "Master, it is only right that you take care of me and my junior brother."
Su Yuan may look cold, but in reality, her senior has secretly helped her and her junior brother a lot during this period. However, he is naturally quiet, and their interactions in private are still the same.
Su Yuan looked up: "Oh, you don't even have a cup of tea?"
"Yes, yes, there's plenty." Lingxi sat down, thinking of the news Yang Lanling had brought, and asked directly, "What do you think about this?"
"It seems he can't wait any longer."
"I can't wait!" Lingxi turned her head and almost bumped into someone's shoulder.
She quietly moved to the side, and when she glanced at the plenty of empty seats next to him, she paused for a moment, then subtly looked away.
Su Yuan curled his lips, pretending not to notice her little action, and said calmly, "He wants to use my body to cross the void and return to the Azure Sky Realm."
"That's a good plan."
At this moment, Su Yuan no longer had any feelings for Cang Min as he had in the past. He would do whatever Cang Min wanted.
"No!" the woman shouted, stopping her.
She felt uncomfortable hearing Su Yuan's nonchalant tone. Ling Xi stood up straight, met his emerald-green eyes, and said seriously, "We must strike first. We can't wait any longer."
Recall the conversation in your mind.
The owner of the green eyes narrowed his pupils slightly, a surge of immense pleasure rising within him.
She cares about him.
Her emotions came on suddenly, and Jin Moli was almost startled.
"Master~"
A sweet, charming voice rang out behind her.
Oh no, I forgot my disciple is still here! Didn't she just say that to Su Yuan in front of her disciple...?
How embarrassing!
She snapped out of her reverie and saw her apprentice standing in the corner. She quickly put on a gentle smile, instantly transforming herself into a kind and gentle master with a calm and elegant demeanor.
She slowly sat down. "Jasmine, go home first, and remember not to tell Grandma Lin about this."
The little girl hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and went out.
Su Yuan moved closer to Ling Xi, reducing the distance between them. He took Ling Xi's hand, and endless smiles spread across his eyes.
He loved every aspect of her personality.
Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her disciple leave, but before she could fully relax, she felt a fragrant scent getting closer and closer. Especially when her hand was held, she subconsciously held her breath and felt the warmth from the back of her hand.
She looked awkward and turned her head away from him.
In the hall, dappled sunlight suddenly shone on Lingxi's profile.
Su Yuan's gaze was intense as he whispered in her ear, "I like it."
"With you here, his plan has failed."
"You're quite the talker."
"Don't follow me!"
Lingxi got up and walked directly to the sofa opposite her to sit down. Su Yuan, who was about to get up, paused. After being stopped, he pretended to sit down as if nothing had happened and his body became well-behaved. However, his green eyes were not honest and stared straight at her, just like a clingy puppy wanting something.
This person was especially handsome and had a great presence; his actions almost caused Lingxi to lose her composure.
She's so old, yet she's still acting like she's young.
She felt indignant that she had lived for less than a fraction of the age of this tree.
The old man tree really had the guts to bite into it.
"Cough cough~"
A dry cough from the other end interrupted the woman's thoughts.
If he kept thinking about it, he would start to suspect that the woman regretted agreeing to be with him.
"Speak?"
Lingxi regained her composure and turned her head to ask directly, "Is there any way to get directly to the island?"
"have."
“You and I are one; I can use my physical body to initiate spatial teleportation and send you there,” Su Yuan continued, “However…”
"But what, what's the price?" Lingxi thought that if the price was too high, it wouldn't be worth it.
"Then I'll just fly there using a cloud."
Su Yuan said, "I...I can't be with you in time, in case of danger..."
"Hey!"
Lingxi tapped her forehead and smiled, "Mother Heaven prepared a killing move for me long ago. Even if I am no match for her, I can at least hold out until you come to save me."
Su Yuan was somewhat unhappy.
He was worried; Lingxi was only at the early Foundation Establishment stage...
"Okay, let's go now."
Lingxi immediately sent them a message to inform them of her plans.
Let's go.
"Let's go, let's go."
Lingxi pushed the silent man towards the backyard.
And you know what? His back is really strong!
...
"Oh, you managed to get this big guy here?" A man dressed in a black robe, hidden behind a curtain, asked suspiciously in front of an inconspicuous storefront.
The man, panting heavily, threw the large object he was carrying on his shoulder onto the ground.
He hunched over and said ingratiatingly, "Hey, you flatter me. I used a little trick."
The man in black robes sneered: "I told you you couldn't handle this."
"Yes, yes, yes, you have excellent taste, sir. I..."
A series of chattering sounds woke up the scarred man who was drugged and unconscious.
His head was throbbing with pain, and he instinctively tried to raise his hand, but his limbs were somewhat unresponsive. Suddenly, a jolt went through him; his limbs were clearly tightly bound by ropes, and the prolonged pressure had impaired blood circulation in his hands and feet, leaving them almost numb.
Li Yuncheng quickly opened his eyes. A person's legs were right next to him. The man immediately stopped moving and, taking advantage of the fact that no one was looking in his direction, continued to observe the surrounding environment.
The two people in front were still chatting away.
Judging from the hunched-over man in front of him speaking in a humble manner, the person behind him must be of a very high status.
To avoid attracting attention, the man carefully began to grope around with his hands.
"My lord, look at this..."
"Give."
"Thank you, thank you. You've worked hard, sir."
A wad of banknotes was taken out of the drawer and casually tossed onto the table. The vendor immediately thanked him and stuffed the money into his pocket before turning and leaving without looking back.
Realizing the timing was wrong, Li Yuncheng paused in his fumbling for the knot behind him, immediately closed his eyes, and slowed his breathing.
The dimly lit house was completely silent.
Li Yuncheng closed his eyes tightly, pretending to be unconscious.
The man in black robes looked down at the man beneath him and casually pressed a button next to him.
"Click!"
A soft thud came from beneath where the man was lying. Li Yuncheng instinctively tensed his muscles and focused his mind. Instantly, the floor beneath him trembled slightly, then shifted to the sides, revealing a dark hole. The man, whose limbs were bound, fell through.
"Bang!"
The floorboards slowly closed.
The man in the black robe silently added another stroke to the end of the notebook.
Another one.
...
Lily of the Valley
On a secluded, deserted beach, a figure quietly appeared.
"Splash..."
The waves surged in from the front, the aftershocks reaching the feet of the person approaching. She crouched down, feeling the icy seawater and the hard, cold sand beneath her feet, before she was slightly jolted back to reality.
Who would have thought that she would travel from the mainland to the island in just one minute?
She stepped out from the corner, glancing over the vast ocean, her gaze turning to the back.
Behind them stretched a rolling forest, and a three-story building stood out starkly amidst the greenery.
Lingxi dared not relax for a moment.
Since the cult has managed to make this place its headquarters, the less conspicuous it is, the deeper it hides itself.
She didn't want to be cannon fodder who was wiped out at the very beginning, so she tried to survive as long as possible.
Who can blame them when the big boss is too powerful?
Lingxi isn't here now; she's strong, and she's even stronger.
One breakthrough, one recovery—Lingxi shouldn't even think about it; the other's recovery speed is definitely faster.
If we don't eliminate it now, when will we?
The sea breeze kept blowing through the woman's hair. Lingxi took a deep breath and comforted herself. She carefully stretched out her divine sense, one meter, two meters... slowly reaching a hundred meters before stopping.
Within a hundred meters, she could control even the slightest movement.
Then, she took out Yun Qingzi's compass and used her tracking technique.
The old compass suddenly glowed with a magical light. With a spell cast, the pointer spun rapidly and stopped at a certain position after a while.
That is...
