...
In the blink of an eye, it was dawn, and the sun climbed high in the sky.
The two got up and sat on the edge of the bed talking.
"Xiao Linzi, I want to be with you every day."
"Such days will probably be very short-lived."
"Why?"
"I slaughtered hundreds of people from the Qingcheng Sect, and my infamy spread far and wide. The news of the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique is also spreading like wildfire in the martial arts world, and it's getting more and more intense. Soon someone will come to Fuzhou to cause me trouble."
"I'll face this with you."
“Your injuries haven’t fully healed, so you should go back to Mount Hua as soon as possible. Let’s pretend nothing happened and that you never came looking for me.”
"I won't leave, I want to take care of you."
"I can take care of myself, but I'm worried that no one will take care of you."
Lin Bufan took out more than a dozen healing pills and gave them to Yue Lingshan. "Take one pill three times a day, and your injuries will heal quickly."
Meanwhile, Linghu Chong, with Ren Yingying in tow, rushed to Fuzhou, to Xiangyang Lane, to the Lin family's old residence.
Upon arrival, he was furious and shouted angrily at the sky, "Lin Pingzhi, get out here! I know you're back!"
The roar was like thunder, shaking the doors and windows.
After learning the Star Absorbing Technique and the Dugu Nine Swords, Linghu Chong's internal strength became extremely profound.
He is estimated to have reached the Grandmaster level, far surpassing Yue Buqun who has practiced the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique.
"The eldest brother is here?"
Yue Lingshan opened the window and saw her senior brother's figure in the distance.
Yue Lingshan quickly put on her clothes and tidied her messy hair.
Lin Bufan stood up and slowly put on his clothes.
Afterwards, he and Yue Lingshan walked out of the room hand in hand.
Linghu Chong and Ren Yingying happened to come over and saw Lin Bufan holding his junior sister's hand. The junior sister's face was rosy and she looked very happy.
For some reason, Linghu Chong suddenly felt uneasy and extremely jealous.
Fate is cruel. If I hadn't made a mistake and hadn't left Mount Hua, I would have been the one to marry my junior sister.
"you……"
Linghu Chong pointed at Lin Bufan, wanting Lin Bufan to release his junior sister.
Lin Bufan deliberately took Yue Lingshan's hand in front of him and they became very affectionate.
"Ding." The system notification popped up, "Sensing Linghu Chong's anger, sadness, frustration and other negative emotions, the host is rewarded with a fragment of the Dugu Nine Swords."
Crackling sounds!
Several golden fragments fell from Linghu Chong's body, flew towards Lin Bufan, and merged into Lin Bufan's body.
With each fusion, Lin Bufan could feel the power of the fragment.
Hmm, this fragment is a broken blade.
Hey, this fragment is a Broken Sword Style.
Wow, this fragment is from the Sweeping Sword Style.
Lin Bufan stood still, and his martial arts skills naturally improved.
Yue Lingshan said to Linghu Chong, "Senior Brother, why didn't you come to my wedding with Lin Zi?"
"I……"
Linghu Chong was taken aback and suddenly found himself speechless.
That day, he had just become the head of the Hengshan Sect. He wanted to come to Huashan but dared not, fearing that his master would scold him and refuse him entry.
He could only sit alone atop the Hengshan Sect, gazing in the direction of the Huashan Sect.
Junior Sister Yilin stayed with him all night.
Unexpectedly, he later heard the tragic news that his master had been killed by his junior brother Lin with a single sword strike.
By the way, why should I ask you questions instead of you asking me?
Linghu Chong took the initiative and questioned Lin Bufan: "Your master treated you like a son. When your Lin family was destroyed and you had nowhere to go, it was your master who took you in and brought you to Mount Hua. Now you want to kill your master?"
Lin Bufan retorted sharply, sneering, "Yue Buqun treated you like his own son, raising you from childhood to adulthood, yet you hang out with Tian Boguang, drinking and causing trouble all day long. You have no respect for the Huashan Sect, so what right do you have to criticize me?"
Linghu Chong angrily retorted, "How dare you lecture me? I am your senior brother."
Lin Bufan scoffed, "What nonsense about Senior Brother? You've already been expelled from the Huashan Sect. If I remember correctly, you're now the head of the Hengshan Sect, or perhaps the future son-in-law of Ren Woxing of the Sun Moon Sect. You spend your days mingling with all sorts of people, pursuing so-called freedom. Linghu Chong, you have no right to talk about me."
"Ding, sensing that Linghu Chong is heartbroken and his negative emotions are rising, the host is rewarded with a fragment of the Star Absorbing Technique."
Crackling sounds!
Several golden fragments fell from Linghu Chong's body and flew automatically to Lin Bufan's side.
Lin Bufan didn't want it and called out to the system: "The Star Absorbing Technique has side effects. Why don't you just exchange them for internal energy? I'll go to the Free and Unfettered Sect to find the Northern Darkness Divine Art another day. That one is purer and has no side effects."
"Ding, host's needs have been met, exchanging in progress..."
"Ding, exchange successful. The Star Absorbing Technique fragment has been exchanged for an equivalent number of years of internal energy."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for gaining five years of internal energy."
Five years? Not bad, little by little, it adds up, and what you gain is what you earn.
Lin Bufan stood still, and his internal energy naturally increased.
Linghu Chong was furious because his junior brother Lin hadn't slandered him; he had only said the truth.
He did indeed befriend Tian Boguang, and they often drank heavily until dawn.
He even became acquainted with Dongfang Bubai, Ren Yingying, Ren Woxing, Xiang Wentian, and the Six Immortals of Peach Valley...
In short, they were all shady characters and members of a cult.
Ironically, he became the leader of the righteous sects, which gave him a conflicted feeling.
"But……"
Linghu Chong still tried to argue: "You killed your master. Even if your master was wrong in many ways, you shouldn't have killed him."
Lin Bufan drew his sword and looked at Linghu Chong arrogantly: "After saying all this, you just want to fight me, right? You're not happy that Lingshan married me."
"I...I didn't, it has nothing to do with my junior sister," Linghu Chong hurriedly explained.
