Jiang Lin tried his best to resist, but he still couldn't withstand Jiang Wubai's willow branch attack. He was hit by the willow branches and howled and jumped up and down.
This is what Ruan Xiyan and the others saw when they arrived.
"Xi Yan, should we go up and help?" Luo Wanyin asked Ruan Xi Yan for her opinion.
The man appeared to be hitting hard, but in reality, much of the force of the willow branches was subtly dissipated halfway through the fight.
If this man wanted Jiang Lin dead, Jiang Lin wouldn't be as lively and energetic as he is now.
Before Ruan Xiyan could say anything, Jiang Lin, with his sharp eyes, had already spotted her.
Jiang Lin looked at Ruan Xiyan standing there as if he had seen a savior, "Sect Master, save me!"
Jiang Lin was whipped with willow branches while dodging behind Ruan Xiyan.
Ruan Xiyan looked at the incoming willow branch and blocked it with her strength.
"Your Excellency should stop now. Jiang Lin is a member of our Illusionary Concealment Sect. It is not your place to lay a hand on him or scold him."
"What? Can't I even discipline my own son?" Jiang Wubai said, but he still put away the willow branches.
We've already fought back and vented our anger, but in front of outsiders, we still need to save face for this brat.
Seeing that Jiang Wubai finally threw away the willow branch in his hand, Jiang Lin silently breathed a sigh of relief.
Ruan Xiyan glanced at Jiang Lin, who was hiding behind her, and said, "Come out and tell me what's going on."
Jiang Lin obediently stepped out from behind Ruan Xiyan. "Sect Master, I followed the commotion all the way here."
"Who would have thought that the one who made the noise was that brat Qunqing?" Jiang Lin gritted his teeth and looked at Qunqing, who was touching his nose and dared not look at him.
It's obvious that Qunqing was acting on his father's orders to lure him here.
"Sect Master, this is my father, Jiang Wubai," Jiang Lin introduced.
Jiang Wubai? Ruan Xiyan looked at the man; the name sounded somewhat familiar.
Suddenly realizing something, Ruan Xiyan's eyes changed slightly. The sect leader of the Burning Weapon Sect, one of the top forces, was named Jiang Wubai.
The Burning Weapon Sect is the most reclusive of the five top powers, and has not appeared on the continent for many years.
"Are you from the Burning Weapon Sect?" Ruan Xiyan looked at Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin nodded, touching the tips of two fingers together. "The sect leader of the Burning Weapon Sect is my father. I'm sorry, sect leader, I concealed my identity before."
He never said it because he didn't want others to flatter him because of his status; he wanted to make his way in the world on his own.
Ruan Xiyan waved her hand, not blaming Jiang Lin; she was simply surprised by Jiang Lin's identity.
She knew Jiang Lin came from a powerful force, but she didn't expect it to be so powerful, a top-tier force on the continent.
When Jiang Lin saw that Ruan Xiyan wasn't angry, his expression immediately relaxed.
Seeing Jiang Lin so obedient, Jiang Wubai was astonished. Was this still the same little devil who caused all sorts of trouble at home?!
Jiang Wubai looked at Ruan Xiyan and said, "You must be Sect Master Ruan of the Illusionary Hidden Sect. Thank you for taking my son in these past few days."
“My son has been causing trouble in the Illusionary Concealment Sect for a long time. Now that I have found him, it is time to bring him back.”
"I don't have anything to give Sect Leader Ruan here, so I'll give you the 100,000 high-grade spirit stones in my storage ring as a token of my gratitude." Jiang Wubai took out a storage ring.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lin was instantly furious.
"Dad, you can't insult people like that. You actually threw spirit stones at people. Let me tell you, my relationship with the Illusionary Hidden Sect is not something you can sever with 100,000 high-grade spirit stones."
"The Burning Weapon Sect is my home, and now the Illusionary Concealment Sect is also my home. I will never leave, even if it means my death," Jiang Lin said angrily.
"You little brat, you think you're all grown up now! You dare to talk back to me?" Jiang Wubai roared.
"Do you know what the situation is like in the Illusionary Hidden Sect right now? It's a dangerous place, where people are constantly on the verge of death and can't even take care of themselves. If you stay there, you'll be in danger at any moment."
"It's one thing for you to act recklessly all the time, but this time you have to listen to me and come back with me right now. The Burning Weapon Sect will not let you go hungry or cold. I think it's because we've spoiled you too much in the past that you've become so reckless!"
The Illusionary Concealment Sect is a fiery pit that others would avoid like the plague, but this brat is deliberately crawling into it.
"It is precisely because the Illusionary Hidden Sect is currently in crisis that I cannot desert my post. I must stand with my brothers in the Illusionary Hidden Sect and advance or retreat together," Jiang Lin said solemnly.
"Moreover, the Illusionary Concealment Sect is not as bad as you say. Now our sect has many strong experts who have beaten those invading forces to a pulp."
“I don’t want to go back with you. Although I am the young master of the Burning Weapon Sect, in your eyes I am worthless. My elder brother is excellent in every way and is better than me in every aspect. You still think I’m just being silly.”
"Anyway, my elder brother has already taken over the position of young sect leader. With my elder brother to inherit the Burning Weapon Sect, there is a successor. Why do you need to restrain me, Father?"
“I’m just doing nothing in the Burning Weapon Sect, and I’m always getting in your way, Father. It’s better if I leave,” Jiang Lin retorted.
"You—" Jiang Wubai was so angry that he almost raised his hand to slap him.
"Sect Leader Jiang, let's talk this out. Don't get angry. Why don't we sit down and have a talk?" Ruan Xiyan said in time to stop him.
Upon hearing Ruan Xiyan's words, Jiang Wubai took a deep breath. Given her status as an eighth-grade alchemist and a guest elder of the Alchemist Guild, he had to give her some face.
Jiang Wubai sat down in the chair. "Sect Leader Ruan, please don't be offended. I didn't mean to say those unpleasant things."
"But the troubles facing the Illusionary Concealment Sect are probably best known to Sect Master Ruan himself. Our Weapon Burning Sect has been living in seclusion for many years and does not want to get involved in these grudges."
"I understand what Sect Master Jiang is saying, and I also understand your deep love for your son. The Illusionary Hidden Sect has indeed been in turmoil recently, but it is also gradually becoming stronger."
“Those forces that cannot defeat the Illusionary Concealment Sect will eventually be trampled on by the Illusionary Concealment Sect to move forward step by step. I believe that it will not be long before the Illusionary Concealment Sect becomes a major force.”
Jiang Wubai hadn't expected that Ruan Xiyan, despite her young age, possessed such great ambition; the indomitable spirit of youth was vividly displayed in her.
Ruan Xiyan continued, "Jiang Lin's progress these days must have been noticed by Sect Master Jiang during his previous probing."
“He has grown up and can make his own decisions. He is also capable of taking responsibility for his actions. Sect Leader Jiang, you should learn to let go.”
"I can assure Sect Leader Jiang that as long as Jiang Lin remains in the Illusionary Hidden Sect, he will be a disciple of the sect, and I will do everything in my power to ensure his safety."
Jiang Wubai picked up a cup of tea, drank it all in one gulp, neither agreeing nor refusing.
"Sect Leader Ruan, please give me some more time to consider this during the Thunder Listening Spring Gathering," Jiang Wubai said.
"Sect Leader Ruan should also be more careful during this period, as someone has already set their sights on the medicinal beast in your possession."
