The old man snorted coldly, and a powerful pressure emanated from him, pressing towards Chen Yang.
Chen Yang's expression remained unchanged, and the true energy in his body circulated, easily resisting the old man's pressure.
When the old man saw this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He was a little surprised that this young man, who looked so young, had such strength.
"You're quite good, but I want to see what qualifications a Foundation Establishment kid like you has to run wild in my Qinglian Holy Land!"
The old man said in a deep voice, with a hint of anger in his tone.
"Elder Qingyun, please wait."
At this moment, a clear voice came from the crowd.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a beautiful girl in a green dress walking out from the crowd.
The appearance of the young girl suddenly brought Elder Qingyun's originally tense aura to a standstill.
He looked the girl up and down, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, then he restrained his pressure and bowed slightly.
"So it's you, Junior-Martial-Nephew Qingyao. I wonder why you are here?"
Qingyao chuckled, waved her hand, and said, "Elder Qingyun, there's no need to be so polite when you're out."
"I just finished my training and passed by here. It just so happens that these two are friends I made during my training. What happened just now was just a misunderstanding."
Elder Qingyun frowned slightly, his eyes swept over Chen Yang and Xue Qing, and he was secretly surprised.
How did these two people, one with a calm aura and the other seemingly weak, become Miss Qingyao's friends?
"Since you are Miss Qingyao's friend, then I will naturally not make things difficult for you."
Although Elder Qingyun was unhappy, he did not dare to offend the other party easily because the other party was the third elder's closed disciple. He had to suppress his anger and said with a forced smile.
"It's just that these useless disciples offended you two, and I apologize to you on their behalf."
After saying that, without waiting for Chen Yang and the others to respond, he turned around and shouted angrily at the disciples who were wailing on the ground.
"Get out of here! You're such a disgrace!"
Those disciples stood up and limped away from the scene as if they had been pardoned.
"Elder Qingyun, you are too polite. We are both fine." Chen Yang smiled faintly without commenting.
Seeing this, Qingyao said, "In that case, I will take my two friends away first."
Elder Qingyun's face turned pale, but he couldn't get angry, so he could only squeeze out a few words in a dry voice.
"In that case, I will not disturb Junior-Martial Nephew Qingyao and his two friends from reminiscing about the past."
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.
Chen Yang and Xue Qing looked at each other and saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
They originally thought that today's matter would take some effort to resolve, but they didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin would appear halfway and get rid of the old guy with just a few words.
"You two, please follow me."
Qingyao smiled sweetly, made a gesture of invitation, and walked out of the crowd with Chen Yang and the other two.
The three of them came to a secluded teahouse and asked for a private room.
Qing Yao personally filled the teapots for the two of them, then said slowly, "My humble self, Qing Yao, is the closed disciple of the Third Elder of the Inner Sect of the Qinglian Holy Land. I came down the mountain to gain experience and have just returned to the sect. I passed by here and happened to meet you two. What a fate."
"It turns out to be Miss Qingyao, nice to meet you."
Chen Yang bowed in return, but he was secretly alert in his heart.
Qingyao's appearance was too coincidental, and her words seemed to know the two of them quite well, which made him feel suspicious.
After all, the assassination orders issued by him and Xue Qing can be said to be spread all over the dark world.
There are countless killers of all kinds, and no one can guarantee whether the gentle woman in front of him is one of them.
Xue Qing looked aloof and just nodded slightly as a greeting.
"Thank you both for your help in what happened just now. You taught those scum who tarnished the reputation of our Qinglian Holy Land a lesson."
As Qingyao spoke, a hint of anger flashed across her pretty face.
"Those guys, relying on their status as outer disciples of the Azure Lotus Holy Land, flaunt their power and bully the good. I've long disliked them!"
Seeing the other party's true nature revealed, Chen Yang's vigilance decreased a little, and the sword energy accumulated in his palm also dissipated.
"I just saw injustice and helped. Miss Qingyao, don't take it to heart."
"For Mr. Chen, it may be just a small favor, but for me, it is a great favor."
Qingyao said this, and stood up and bowed to Chen Yang.
"I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. If you need Qingyao in the future, just let me know. Qingyao will do her best!"
Chen Yang frowned, the other party's attitude was a bit too polite.
If they said that the other party was polite to them before because they helped to protect the reputation of the Qinglian Holy Land, then it was a bit exaggerated now.
Chen Yang gently turned sideways to avoid Qingyao's bow and raised his teacup.
"Miss Qingyao, you are too kind. It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning."
"The word 'repay a favor' is a bit exaggerated. If you really want to reward us two, then this cup of tea will do."
"It's a small matter for Mr. Chen, but it's a big deal for the victims." Qingyao said seriously.
"My Qinglian Holy Land is a reputable and upright sect. We will never allow our disciples to do evil outside!"
"I will report today's events to Master truthfully and punish those scum severely!"
When Chen Yang heard Qingyao's righteous words, his vigilance towards her eased a little.
"By the way, I haven't asked for your names yet. I wonder where you are going?"
Qingyao asked curiously as she filled Chen Yang's teacup again.
"My name is Chen Yang, and this is my Taoist partner, Xue Qing."
"To be honest, the two of us are here to go to the Qinglian Holy Land."
Chen Yang put down his teacup and said straight to the point, "I just don't know..."
"Are you two here for the recruitment meeting as well?" Qingyao's beautiful eyes lit up and she interrupted him.
Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, then realized that as a dominant force, it was understandable for the Qinglian Holy Land to recruit many disciples.
"That's not the case. To be honest, Miss Qingyao, we are here for my Taoist partner. We want to find some healing herbs."
As Chen Yang spoke, he gently patted Xue Qing's cold hands under the table.
Xue Qing rolled her eyes at him but didn't refute.
"I see."
A hint of disappointment flashed across Qingyao's eyes, but she quickly concealed it.
"To be honest, Master Chen, the Qinglian Holy Land is about to close. Without special identification, it will be extremely difficult for outsiders to enter."
Chen Yang and Xue Qing looked at each other and saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.
It seems that the journey to the Qinglian Holy Land is more difficult than they imagined.
As if she could see the worry of Chen Yang and the others, Qingyao covered her mouth and chuckled.
"However, you two don't have to worry too much. I have gained a lot from my experience in the mountains this time, and I am qualified to lead you two into the Qinglian Holy Land."
