The smiling tiger turned around in shock and saw a man and a woman slowly emerging from the tall grass not far behind him. The woman was beautiful and the man was handsome; it was none other than the Soul-Severing Fairy.
He suddenly realized that Linghu Lan had come with him. He had originally come to deliver a message, but now he had become the guide.
He was furious, his eyes blazing with rage. "What have you done to my brother?"
"He's probably not dead yet, but he'll probably be roasted into skewers. If you arrive any later, it's hard to say. If the smell of meat attracts some wolves or tigers, he'll be truly dead," Linghu Lan said calmly.
"You! Humph!" Smiling Tiger knew what was important. Saving his brother was the priority. He knew that his brother had made a complete fool of himself on this trip and had no face to appear at the Heroes' Gathering. He hurriedly apologized to everyone with embarrassment and turned to leave.
Master Jinghai said, “Hero, there is no need to be ashamed. You have all done your best. Now that I think about it carefully, I realize that I was wrong. You have been running for a long time and are exhausted. I will send someone to find your brother.”
After he finished speaking, several people stepped out from the crowd.
Smiling Tiger wiped his sweat and hurriedly said, "I thank you all, heroes. I will lead the way so that you will not take the wrong path."
He snorted coldly, glared at Linghu Lan, and then quickly left.
Linghu Lan smiled. "I've been wandering the martial world for so many years, do you think I'd let a mere brat glare at me?" Without another word, she flicked her finger, and two thunder talismans landed on him.
Although Master Jinghai sensed something was wrong, he couldn't reach Linghu Lan in time, so he could only sigh silently and pray for the Smiling Tiger in his heart.
He said to Linghu Lan, "Fairy of Broken Soul, please come into the manor for a chat."
"Old monk, you've played a brilliant move."
"I dare not accept such praise; I was merely considering the well-being of all people in the martial arts world."
"Heh, just trying to gain fame and reputation." Linghu Lan sneered. "Judging others by one's own petty standards."
"Hahaha, whether you're a villain or a gentleman, now that the fairy has arrived, this old monk will accept the punishment. I only hope that the fairy can put aside her resentment and celebrate this prosperous age with the heroes of the martial arts world." Master Jinghai didn't care at all about not informing Linghu Lan to attend the martial arts conference; he had a clear conscience.
"This is your golden age, what does it have to do with me?"
"Does the fairy not want to compete for the position of martial arts alliance leader?"
"Do you want this heroine to compete for it?" Linghu Lan looked at him coldly.
Master Jinghai answered decisively, "I don't want to!"
"That female knight is determined to go against you; I'm going to be the leader of the martial arts world."
Master Jinghai: "..."
The two talked as they walked, and soon arrived at the manor. A banquet had been set up in the manor, and countless people were eating and drinking. They all bowed to Abbot Jinghai, but did not react when they saw Linghu Lan.
Abbot Jinghai pointed at the crowd and said, "Fairy, do you see this? This is what the people want."
"This female knight-errant prefers to subdue people with her sword."
Master Jinghai: "..."
He led Linghu Lan around for a while, and then they arrived at a relatively quiet courtyard at the back. Inside, Linghu Lan saw many high-ranking figures in the martial arts world, including the leaders of various sects, valley masters, island masters, cave masters, and religious leaders.
Everyone looked embarrassed when they saw Linghu Lan, a sense of shame lingering in their hearts as if they had been exposed.
If they had no connection with Linghu Lan, it would be one thing, but Linghu Lan was their savior, yet they deliberately avoided her when holding the martial arts tournament, and Linghu Lan even saw them.
The feeling was extremely shameful, like being caught cheating.
Upon seeing everyone, Linghu Lan greeted them with a smile, "How have you all been?"
