Chapter 249

Xu Yang sighed in his heart; he had promised Lin Cheng to help take care of Lin Wei; he also felt somewhat unable to face Lin Cheng with this result.

It was just that he had advised Lin Wei at the beginning, but Lin Wei said something about a fair lady being a gentleman's pursuit, and he had no way.

"Even if you break through, so what? My father won't agree; your talent simply isn't worthy of me."

Xiao Chen pushed Lin Wei away and strode away; when passing by Xu Yang, he also warned Xu Yang with his eyes not to talk nonsense.

Lin Wei stood blankly in the middle of the road, not yet reacting to the fact that Xiao Chen was just playing with her, still looking somewhat self-blaming.

"Junior Sister, let's go!" Sun Tao stepped forward with a gloomy face.

Unable to provoke the Xiao father and son, he could only swallow this anger.

The people watching the show dispersed, and Sun Tao and Lin Wei also saw Xu Yang and Jiang Ping.

The two walked over, and Xu Yang thought about it, following them as they walked out.

When they reached a place with no one, Xu Yang opened his mouth: "Senior Sister Lin, when leaving Qingyuan, did Master give any instructions for you to listen to me?"

Lin Wei nodded blankly: "There were."

Xu Yang said: "Then you listen to Junior Brother's words, your matter with Xiao Chen ends here."

"Impossible!"

Lin Wei's reaction was huge: "Uncle Xiao doesn't approve of me and Xiao Chen because my cultivation has been slow to break through; when I reach Gang Qi cultivation, he won't oppose it."

Naive!

Everyone wants to take a shortcut; are shortcuts that easy to take?

Xu Yang said: "You don't listen to Master anymore?"

He couldn't say too much; if he said too much, he would be in danger, so he could only bring out Lin Cheng.

If Lin Wei continued to pester, the Xiao father and son, in order not to affect their clinging to the Su family, would probably take lethal action.

If Lin Wei hadn't been staying in the Profound Heaven Sect, perhaps it wouldn't have been showing cards, but secretly killing her.

Lin Wei sneered: "Don't take a chicken feather as an arrow; even if my father were here, he couldn't control me; don't meddle in other people's business, my business is not your concern."

After saying this, she strode away.

"Good words are hard to persuade a dying ghost!"

Xu Yang didn't say anything more; if it didn't endanger his life, he could manage it; being scolded by Lin Wei a few times didn't matter; after all, this was a deal between him and Lin Cheng.

But if he couldn't persuade her, he had no way.

If he told about Su Man's matter, he didn't know if Lin Wei would die, but if he ruined the Xiao father and son's good deeds, he would definitely die.

"Junior Sister..."

Sun Tao wanted to chase after her, but was grabbed by Xu Yang: "Senior Brother Sun, it's best if you keep an eye on Senior Sister Lin for a while, don't let her leave the sect."

Sun Tao's heart was shocked, showing an expression of disbelief: "You mean..."

Xu Yang said: "Better safe than sorry; what kind of people that father and son are, you and I know."

Xu Yang had said all he could; if Lin Wei still sought death, he couldn't help it; if something happened in the future, he would have no shame before Lin Cheng.

After saying this, he turned and walked back to the dining hall.

Outer sect deacon's residence, Xiao Chen returned home with a gloomy face.

He didn't expect Lin Wei to disregard her reputation as a woman and shake out the matter between the two outside the dining hall, making it known to everyone.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, using his father Xiao Hua as an excuse, and using the reason that Lin Wei's talent was not good and not worthy of him, to stabilize Lin Wei.

"She will come to pester me again." Xiao Chen frowned.

He had already seen Lin Wei's determination; she would continue to pester this matter; originally he was climbing high to the Su family; if the Su family knew about this, let alone the marriage, it wouldn't be good if he were retaliated against by Su Man.

"Go find Father and think of a way."

Xiao Chen soon found Xiao Hua and told him what happened in the dining hall today.

After listening, Xiao Hua's eyes flashed with light: "So ignorant of advancement, then let her shut up forever."

Xiao Chen showed an expression of reluctance; after all, there was a period of love, and he couldn't make this ruthless move.

Xiao Hua shouted sharply: "Trash, Su Jianye has already loosened his mouth, wanting us to find time to discuss; if this kind of thing happens at this juncture, everything will be over.

Your talent is not even as good as mine; without the Su family's support, don't even think about Marrow Cleansing in your life; do you want cultivation or a woman?"

"Of course, cultivation." Xiao Chen didn't hesitate.

Hearing that Su Jianye had already loosened his mouth to agree to him and Su Man, there was no more reluctance in his heart; compared to the future of cultivation, what was a woman?

When he became a Marrow Cleansing martial artist, he could find any kind of woman.

Xiao Hua showed a satisfied smile: "Listen to my arrangement for this matter."

Xu Yang's life became regular again; later he heard Sun Tao mention Lin Wei once, saying that Lin Wei was in seclusion to break through to Gang Qi cultivation.

He couldn't be bothered to care; if it weren't for the deal with Lin Cheng, he wouldn't care about Lin Wei's life or death at all.

He had done what he should do; as long as he had a clear conscience, that was enough.

News came from the outer sect again: the fifth-ranked of the Ten Elites, Lin Dong, and the first-ranked of the Ten Strong, Wen Yu, had successively reached Minor Success in Gang Qi.

Apparently, although the Ten Strong experts had high cultivation when they entered the sect, they had already been surpassed by the Ten Elites.

Xu Yang listened to this news, unmoved; the task of refining black iron at the Fire Peak was faster than he imagined; this time it didn't take a full month at all, just about twenty-five days, and all the black iron refining was finished.

This day, as the last piece of black iron refining ended, everyone who participated in this task appeared before Gao Lin, who held a record book and began to settle contribution points for everyone one by one.

"Xu Yang, gain 25 contribution points!"

Gao Lin read Xu Yang's name first; although he came a few days late, his Major Success level Mountain-Shaking Hammer meant the quantity of black iron refined was the highest.

"Wang Yun, gain 24 contribution points!"

"Chen Chao, gain 23 contribution points!"

"Yun Feng, gain 23 contribution points!"

When reading Yun Feng's name, Gao Lin's gaze swept over Yun Feng before continuing to read.

After reading eight names, Gao Lin stopped and said: "You eight people, come here at the hour of the dragon ten days from now."

Xu Yang's heart stirred; was he selected?

It was just that he still hadn't figured out what the so-called selection was for; he saw Yun Feng and the others looking pleasantly surprised, but no one asked what the selection was for, so he couldn't open his mouth.

Soon everyone got the settlement slip and rushed to the Task Hall to hand in the task.

Xu Yang saw Xiao Hua again, but this time Xiao Hua didn't suspect him of tampering with the settlement slip, and gave him the contribution points he deserved normally.

"I thought I would have to wait until I got the Origin-Returning Pill from the Zhu family to reach Minor Success in Gang Qi, but now it can be advanced."

He didn't expect this black iron refining task to end so quickly, settling the contribution points.

"However, the time has been advanced a bit; I'm afraid one Origin-Returning Pill is not enough for me to break through to Minor Success in Gang Qi."

【Profound Mountain Bear Scripture Gang Qi Chapter · Entry Level (1904/2000)】

Xu Yang looked at the panel; the Profound Mountain Bear Scripture was still nearly one hundred progress points away from Minor Success; one Origin-Returning Pill would definitely not be enough.

"Then exchange for the more effective Profound Origin Qi-Transforming Pill."

The Profound Origin Qi-Transforming Pill was forty contribution points each; he could use part of the contribution points obtained from Kong Yu and the others to exchange.

In a few days, he would have to go to the city to refine Blood-Coagulating Pills; if his Gang Qi reached Minor Success, his safety would also be greatly improved.

Taking fifteen contribution points from the points obtained from Kong Yu and the others, Xu Yang immediately rushed to the place to exchange for pills, and on the spot exchanged for a Profound Origin Qi-Transforming Pill.

He didn't rush to go into seclusion to break through, but took the Eight-Treasure Body-Strengthening Pill and practiced hard for two days, adjusting his state of mind, before setting about the matter of breaking through.
