Chapter 630: The Law of True Fragrance

Qiu Weizhi knew very well that if it weren't for Ye Lin, he would never have appeared before Xu Minxuan, let alone made a mistake for the second time.

Therefore, the moment he saw Ye Lin, the anger and grievance suppressed in the depths of his heart could no longer be contained.

Upon hearing this, Xu Minxuan frowned, seemingly contemplating the feasibility of this matter.

However, Ye Lin had long anticipated this; he smiled faintly and said to Xu Minxuan.

"Senior Sister Minxuan, let me tell you a few stories."

"King Zhou of Shang doted on Daji and practiced the punishment of roasting on a hot bronze pillar."

"King You of Zhou, to win a smile from Bao Si, played with the beacon fires to fool the feudal lords."

"Lu Bu killed his own foster father for the sake of Diaochan."

"Wu Sangui, for the sake of Chen Yuanyuan, led the Qing troops through the pass."

"Every single one of these cases proves that beautiful women are the source of disaster! How can a person who does great things be led by the nose by beauty?"

"Besides, if it weren't for me, how would you have had the chance to find Qiu Weizhi again? To kill me now, wouldn't that be returning kindness with enmity?"

Ye Lin's words made Xu Minxuan's eyes brighten the more she listened.

"Not bad, what you say makes sense!"

"The way of controlling a husband and the way of controlling a wife are much the same; as the saying goes, if you don't beat them for three days, they'll climb up to the roof and tear off the tiles. A strong person should ruthlessly humiliate the weak; if he doesn't listen, you just beat him until he does, right?" Ye Lin said with a smile.

Xu Minxuan looked at Qiu Weizhi, lost in thought.

Qiu Weizhi: "???"

This isn't right, is it?

Why?

He was the one who sold his body, he was the one who suffered grievances, he was the one crushed under the weight of Mount Tai, and in the end, Ye Lin turned out to be the good guy?

"Ye Lin, you beast, I'll fight you to the death!"

With reddened eyes, Qiu Weizhi roared and lunged forward, wanting to risk his life against Ye Lin.

But just as he turned around, Xu Minxuan let out a cold snort and slapped Qiu Weizhi on the chest.

"Stop! You are not allowed to be rude to Brother Ye Lin!"

Qiu Weizhi's eyes rolled back, and he fainted on the spot.

"Oh no, I used too much strength." Xu Minxuan's expression changed.

"It's fine, as long as he's still alive; this brother of mine is very sturdy," Ye Lin hurriedly comforted Xu Minxuan.

"Thank you, you really are a good person!" Xu Minxuan couldn't help but say gratefully.

"No need to thank me; I'm working so hard actually because there's a small favor I'd like you to do for me," Ye Lin scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Tell me, if I can help, I certainly will." Xu Minxuan nodded.

"I want to... join the Immortal Cloud Sect!"

Ye Lin stated his purpose.

Trading one Qiu Weizhi for a spot to enter the Immortal Cloud Sect was, in his view, an absolute steal.

"No problem. I can put in a word for you during the disciple assessment in half a year. As long as your performance is above the passing line, I guarantee you can enter the Immortal Cloud Sect."

Xu Minxuan nodded.

Disciples of the Immortal Cloud Sect are divided into four ranks.

Personal disciples, inner sect disciples, outer sect disciples, and chore disciples.

As an inner sect disciple, it was no problem for her to pull some strings for Ye Lin.

"That won't work! I can't wait half a year. Is there any way to join the Immortal Cloud Sect right now?" Ye Lin asked.

"Now? That's not possible!"

Xu Minxuan shook her head.

"Unless you are the Sect Master's own child, even the offspring of elders must pass the disciple assessment to formally enter the Immortal Cloud Sect to cultivate. This is a rule set by the first sect leader, and no one can change it."

"Damn it!"

Ye Lin was immediately displeased; wouldn't all his efforts have been in vain?

"Then how about this: you take Qiu Weizhi and come with me to Lingquan County, how about that?"

"Lingquan County? Why go there?" Xu Minxuan asked in confusion.

"Nothing much, it's just that I offended a few Imperial Princes of the Angry Sea Dynasty, and I need you to show your face and back me up," Ye Lin said, rubbing his hands together.

Although he couldn't enter the Immortal Cloud Sect for the time being, bringing a personal disciple to support the Yi Hong Zoo would certainly be enough.

"That's no problem." Xu Minxuan agreed.

In the eyes of the Immortal Cloud Sect, the Angry Sea Dynasty was nothing more than a vassal dynasty.

"Then without further ado, let's go now!"

Ye Lin urged, and Xu Minxuan nodded, hoisting Qiu Weizhi onto her shoulder.

Qiu Weizhi had already woken up by this time, but he didn't speak, only silently shedding tears.

Using the teleportation array at the foot of the Immortal Cloud Sect's mountain, they returned to Luofeng City once again.

The moment they landed, Ye Lin walked straight toward the old man with the goat-beard who was in charge of the teleportation array.

Slap!

Slap!

Slap!

Without a word, Ye Lin delivered three heavy slaps, beating the old man's face into a giant pig's head.

The goat-bearded old man was stunned at first, then instantly filled with burning rage!

Someone actually dared to hit him like this? They must be tired of living!

Just as he was about to lose his temper, Ye Lin's speed in losing his temper was far faster than his.

"Are you blind? This is Senior Sister Xu Minxuan, an inner sect disciple of the Immortal Cloud Sect!"

"Seeing Senior Sister Xu Minxuan appear from the teleportation array, you old dog, not only do you not stand up to pay your respects, but you dare to sit there so calmly?"

Facing Ye Lin's questioning, the goat-bearded old man was stunned.

He hadn't heard of any inner sect disciple coming to Luofeng City recently.

However, his reaction was quick; having seen countless people, he knew at the first glance of Xu Minxuan that she was definitely no ordinary person.

Judging by her attire and the terrifying aura emanating from her body, it was very likely that she was indeed an inner sect disciple of the Immortal Cloud Sect.

He didn't have time to dwell on the issue of Ye Lin slapping him and hurriedly bowed to Xu Minxuan.

"This lowly one greets Senior Sister Xu!"

Bang!

Ye Lin kicked him directly.

"Louder, didn't you eat?"

The goat-bearded old man didn't even dare to let out a fart; he hurriedly bowed respectfully again, knelt directly on the ground, and shouted with all his might.

"Greetings, Senior Sister Xu Minxuan!"

"Very good! Very spirited!"

Ye Lin nodded, then walked quickly to Xu Minxuan's side, but instead of talking to her, he spoke to Qiu Weizhi, who was being carried on her shoulder.

"Do you see? What was this goat-bearded old man's attitude toward us before? And what is his attitude toward us now?"

"Is his change in attitude because of you or me? No, it's because of Senior Sister Xu beneath you!"

"Do you really think I, Ye Lin, want to harm you? Think about it, how many people want to climb the high branch of Senior Sister Xu but can't!"

After hearing this, Qiu Weizhi almost cursed out loud.

However, he had to admit that watching the previously arrogant goat-bearded old man kneeling so respectfully before him did indeed provide an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

Xu Minxuan had also roughly understood what had happened by now; she put Qiu Weizhi down and asked gently in a sweet voice.

"Did he bully you?"

"Mm!"

Qiu Weizhi nodded, just like a young wife who had suffered a grievance.

"Go, give him two slaps to make him remember this lesson for the future!" Xu Minxuan said immediately.

"Okay!"

Qiu Weizhi strode forward and walked up to the goat-bearded old man.

Using all his strength, he slapped him twice.

The goat-bearded old man, having taken two slaps, dared not show the slightest bit of slowness, only looking at Qiu Weizhi with a fawning gaze.

"My lord, would you like to use a tool? Be careful not to hurt your hand~"

Qiu Weizhi was stunned.

He hadn't expected that someone could still be so servile and continue to fawn after being slapped.

Only then did Qiu Weizhi realize that the difference between an inner sect disciple of the Immortal Cloud Sect and an ordinary person was not just on the surface.

A sense of excitement swept over him.

Perhaps... submitting to Xu Minxuan didn't seem like such a bad choice after all?
