Chapter 303: Let's go check out the Peak of the Hunt!

"Black Killer Leader, could you, for my sake, spare Lin Xuewei once?"

"The woman walked slowly up to the Black Killer, her face bearing an expression of pleading."

"The Black Killer blinked slightly when he saw the visitor, 'Lady Leng?'"

"He never expected to meet the wife of Grand General Leng Feng of the Xuan Yuan Wang Chao in Xiliang City!"

"Feng Qian nodded slightly, a faint smile appearing on her beautiful face."

"'How could Lady Leng be here?'"

"'To be frank, I came here to find my lifesaver.'"

"The Black Killer nodded in understanding."

"The wife of Grand General Leng Feng of the Xuan Yuan Wang Chao had been rescued several years ago, and all these years she has been searching for her benefactor. Over these years she has trekked alone across green mountains, traveled countless miles, her footsteps spreading throughout the Central Region. Even Grand General Leng Feng, in his spare time, would accompany her in the search."

"However, over the years she has had no success."

"He greatly admired this Lady Leng. Of course, that Grand General Leng Feng is also a person worthy of respect."

"'Since Lady Leng has said as much, the Black Killer will spare her this once. However, if she speaks rudely again, even Lady Leng's intercession will be of no avail.'"

"Lady Leng nodded, her eyes filled with gratitude."

"The swords of the Purple Armored Guard had sliced toward Lin Xuewei's face; she was just a hair's breadth away from being beheaded."

"Lin Xuewei nearly fainted from fright. Just moments ago, she had thought she was going to die."

"Who would have thought that at the critical moment, someone would save her!"

"When she learned that it was Lady Leng who had saved her, her eyes flickered."

"She had finally not wasted her painstaking effort, directing and acting in a play that led Lady Leng to mistakenly believe that Lin Xuewei was her lifesaver. Had she not been prepared, she would likely have become a soul under the sword today."

"'Is it you?'"

"Lin Xuewei feigned surprise as she looked at Lady Leng."

"'Miss Lin, hello, we meet again.' Lady Leng showed a gentle smile, her gaze toward Lin Xuewei holding gratitude."

"Lin Zhishang watched this scene, recalling the earlier conversation between this lady and the Black Killer, and also recognized the identity of the beautiful woman before him."

"He felt quite surprised and hurriedly asked, 'Wei'er, what's going on?'"

"Lady Leng hurriedly replied, 'Master Ye, I am Feng Qian. A few days ago I suffered an old ailment in Cao Mu Xuan, and Miss Lin saved my life; I am deeply grateful.'"

"The more Lin Zhishang listened, the brighter his eyes became."

"It turned out that his second daughter, Lin Xuewei, had saved Lady Leng's life!"

"Grand General Leng Feng of the Xuan Yuan Wang Chao is renowned, hailed as the top general of the Xuan Yuan Wang Chao; if the Lin family could tie themselves to the Leng family, it would be a great honor for them!"

"'Lady Leng is being overly polite; my daughter, as a healer, saving lives and healing wounds is her duty—why should Lady Leng offer thanks?'"

"Lady Leng nodded, 'Master Lin has raised a fine daughter.'"

"Lin Zhishang thought the same. His daughters truly excel, each better than the last!"

"Lin Xuewei lowered her eyes slightly, concealing the pride within."

"This Lady Leng is truly foolish—she doesn't even know who saved her! But she will keep this secret buried in her heart, never letting her discover that the person who saved her is actually someone else!"

"In the crowd, the instant Lady Leng was seen, Ye Qingran raised her eyebrows."

"She recognized this Lady Leng as the woman who had fainted at the stairwell of Cao Mu Xuan that day, whom she had incidentally saved."

"At the time she confirmed that the lady would regain consciousness in a few minutes, and she hadn't thought to ask for repayment, so she left first. She hadn't expected Lin Xuewei to steal the credit."

"'So Lin Xuewei has been impersonating me!'"

"Ye Qingran clicked her tongue lightly, a gleam flashing across her beautiful eyes."

"She may be low-key, but that doesn't mean she will allow others to arbitrarily claim her achievements."

"Just because she doesn't want something doesn't mean others can just pick it up!"

"Lin Xuewei wants to reap rewards without effort—where in the world does such a good thing exist?"

"Because of Lady Leng's appearance, the Lin family's lost face has been somewhat recovered; at least when facing the crowd, they are no longer so embarrassed."

"Lady Leng represents the Leng clan of the Xuan Yuan Wang Chao; although she cannot compare to the Crown Prince, she is still a top-tier clan of the Central Region that others cannot aspire to."

"The Lin family may not have climbed the high branch of the Crown Prince, but they have climbed the high branch of the Leng clan, which is also enviable."

"Thus, the earlier embarrassment has been considerably diluted."

"'Alright, let our family's Yan'er announce the list of those qualified to purchase the Western Extremity specialty pill formulas and cultivation heart methods!' Lin Zhishang eagerly announced loudly to the crowd."

"The Lin family couldn't wait to put the earlier incident behind them."

"Today's gathering was originally initiated by Lin Xueyan to resell the Western Extremity pill formulas and cultivation heart methods at a high price; because of the incident involving Xuan Yuan Luo's gift-giving, it was delayed."

"The forces that had rushed from various parts of the Central Region each showed signs of interest."

"Their purpose in coming to Xiliang City was precisely this!"

"Lin Zhishang stepped back a few paces, while Lin Xueyan stepped forward a few paces, instantly becoming the focus of everyone's attention."

"Countless gazes fell upon Lin Xueyan."

"In her hand she held the pill formulas and cultivation heart methods brought from the Western Extremity Shengyu, things that could drive countless sects and forces of the Central Region mad!"

"Lin Xueyan's gaze swept over the major forces in the crowd, and her clear, melodious voice spoke: 'Thanks to your great affection, you have not spared the trouble of traveling thousands of miles to come to Xiliang City.'"

"The crowd waved their hands, humbly replying that this was only proper."

"'You all know that over the past five years I have been at the Peak of the Hunt in the Western Extremity Shengyu.'"

"Having said that, Lin Xueyan deliberately paused for a moment, trying to create a sensational effect."

"Indeed, just as she had imagined, that pause gave everyone time to admire."

"Before, everyone had only heard from others that Lin Xueyan had spent the past five years at the Peak of the Hunt; now hearing her admit it personally felt different."

"Western Extremity Shengyu, Peak of the Hunt."

"That is a place looked up to by the people of the Central Region."

However, Lin Xueyan of the Lin Family stayed there for five whole years!

How could one not be envied?

Lin Xueyan was very pleased with this result. Her gaze even lingered on Ye Qingran for a moment, a hint of provocation flashing in her eyes.

In five years, she went to Western Extremity, while Ye Qingran remained in the backward Donglin Country, unknown, and even bore a child with a rustic villager.

The gap between them was as stark as clouds and mud!

Ye Qingran, in this life you are destined only to look up to me!

Fu Qianchi, hearing Lin Xueyan's words, pursed his lips.

"Mother, whenever you have time, Father Lord and I will take you to the Summit of the Hunt! If you like it, the Summit of the Hunt will be yours!"

Ye Qingran didn't think much, taking it as Fu Qianchi's filial piety.

"Alright."

Lin Xueyan's voice continued, "Returning from the Summit of the Hunt this time, I think I should contribute whatever I can to the development of the Central Region..."

Another deliberately timed pause.

"Lin Xueyan is perhaps too kind!"

"She truly never forgets her original intention!"

…

Everyone sighed in turn.

Someone who constantly misses their hometown is undoubtedly respectable.

"Therefore, I brought some cultivation techniques and pill formulas from Western Extremity. With these techniques and formulas to assist, the strength of the Central Region will surely rise to a higher level!"

Another round of cheers!

Many even shouted Lin Xueyan's name loudly.

…

Watching the scene, Ye Qingran couldn't help but feel speechless.

Why does this feel like a pyramid scheme?
