Chapter 201: Leaving the Three Provinces Land
After Lin Yang and Meng Po left, Chu Yue, covered in dust and dirt, crawled out from the forest.
Looking at the empty scene, she was both angry and anxious, stomping her feet and shouting incessantly.
As the daughter of the Great Dao Sect Sect Master, she didn't even mention being beaten by Lin Yang, being tricked into overpaying for the Lion King Bone in an auction, or even being chased and having the Lion King Bone stolen.
But being betrayed by her own subordinate and blown away a kilometer, this anger she simply could not swallow.
If this grudge is not repaid, I swear I will not be considered human.
After calming her emotions a bit, she hastily took out a communication talisman and contacted her father of the Great Dao Sect.
At that moment, inside the Great Dao Sect, Chu Yue's father was leisurely sipping tea and playing with the little bird in its cage.
Seeing Chu Yue's activated communication talisman light up, he smiled and asked, "My precious daughter, how is it? Did everything get smoothly resolved as soon as Meng Po arrived?"
Upon hearing the two words "Meng Po", Chu Yue instantly lost control of her emotions.
She nearly collapsed and blurted out the whole story from beginning to end.
After hearing this, the Great Dao Sect Master couldn't help but startle, exclaiming, "What did you say? Meng Po has betrayed us?"
Chu Yue nodded heavily.
Seeing Chu Yue nod, the Great Dao Sect Master was dumbfounded.
Meng Po was one of the capable aides she had cultivated.
And yet such a person actually betrayed him?
How could he not be shocked?
"Daughter, tell me again about Meng Po." Obviously, Meng Po's betrayal greatly stimulated him.
Chu Yue indeed didn't want to say more, and began to complain, "Father, why didn't you come to support?"
Hearing this, the Great Dao Sect Master helplessly explained, "It was Meng Po who contacted me, saying everything was under her control and I didn't need to go, so I didn't."
Thus, the truth of the matter finally came to light.
It turned out that Meng Po not only betrayed the Great Dao Sect, but also used a communication talisman to prevent Chu Yue's father from coming to support.
Upon learning the whole truth, Chu Yue burned with rage and swore to kill Meng Po and Lin Yang.
But the Great Dao Sect Master hurriedly advised her to return to the sect first.
"Father, why are you stopping me from killing Meng Po?" Chu Yue asked, unwilling to accept.
The Great Dao Sect Master said, "Daughter, this matter must absolutely not be rushed."
"First, a big shot has come to Central Province, and we need to go out to receive them."
"Second, for Meng Po to betray, she has the backing of Hua Xiangxi and Jiang Yuehuo behind her; this Lin Yang is no ordinary person, and we must plan carefully."
Hearing her father's words, Chu Yue could only reluctantly return to the Great Dao Sect.
Furthermore, that big shot her father mentioned is an existence they cannot afford to offend.
If they are negligent, even the Great Dao Sect could not withstand a single finger from that person.

Meanwhile, after obtaining the Lion King Bone, Lin Yang smoothly returned to the Three Provinces Land.
Now that the goal has been achieved, having obtained the Lion King Bone for alchemy, it is also time to leave the Three Provinces Land.
Before departure, Hua Xiangxi hurried over with the improved Heroic Liquor formula, her eyes full of gratitude, and she earnestly spoke.
"Master Lin, thanks to your generous gift of this precious formula, Xiangxi truly has no way to repay it."
"This favor, I will keep it in my heart."
"In the future, wherever I can be of use, as long as the master says a word, Xiangxi will not shirk."
Lin Yang's mouth corners slightly rose, showing a gentle smile, and he said, "Flower Shopkeeper, we have met; there's no need to be so formal."
Recalling the various unpleasantries when he first met Hua Xiangxi, and then how she several times risked danger to stand up for him.
Lin Yang felt that giving her the improved Heroic Liquor formula could also be considered a testament to their affinity, and it was fine.
Hua Xiangxi gratefully nodded, then took out an exquisite paper crane from her sleeve.
She gently handed it to Lin Yang and slowly said, "Master Lin, this paper crane is personally refined by me."
"From now on, no matter where you are, if you want to drink Heroic Liquor, just use it to contact me, and I will surely deliver the fine liquor to you at once."
Hua Xiangxi's intention is set; from now on, no matter where Lin Yang wanders, as long as he has the desire to drink, she is willing to endure the trouble and personally present it.
Lin Yang did not decline, openly accepting the paper crane; for him, drinking is inherently a great joy.
This paper crane is like a precious affection; accepting it also adds a bit of warmth.
After bidding farewell to Hua Xiangxi, Lin Yang's gaze gradually turned toward Jiang Yuehuo beside him.
That night's intimacy, he ultimately still hurt this woman, his heart filled with complex emotions.
He hesitated a moment, opened his mouth and was about to say: "Yuehuo, that night..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
Jiang Yuehuo lightly raised her hand, interrupting him, and said in a calm yet somewhat carefree tone, "I've said it before; that night's affair was voluntary on my part and has nothing to do with you."
Lin Yang's face showed hesitation; although Jiang Yuehuo said so, his sense of guilt remained hard to dispel.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuehuo simply said, "Alright, don't dwell on those matters anymore."
"I am not the kind of fangirl who will cling to you relentlessly, tearfully swearing to train hard and catch up to your pace."
"Let me tell you quietly, I am quite capable; you must really strive in your cultivation to catch up to me, and I will wait for you somewhere along your future path."
Having said that, Jiang Yuehuo beamed, turned into a streak of flowing light, and instantly vanished from Lin Yang's sight.
Indeed, Jiang Yuehuo knows Lin Yang will certainly not settle down in this small place of the Xuanhuang Continent.
He will surely go to a stronger place, and only those strong places can reveal the might of the Four Seas Merchant Association.
Only then can one see the vigor of her, the President of the Four Seas Merchant Association; she looks forward to meeting Lin Yang again in a stronger place.
Lin Yang watched the direction Jiang Yuehuo departed, and in his heart he also understood her hint.
Her identity and background are absolutely not as simple as they appear right now.
She even comes from outside this world.........
After Jiang Yuehuo left, Lin Yang seized Kong Qing Xiaozi from beside him and flew through the air.
They arrived at a crossroads.
The two descended slowly, Lin Yang looked at Kong Qing Xiaozi with concern and said earnestly: "Kong Qing Xiaozi, your journey to Central State this time is fraught with danger and the task is arduous; do you have the confidence to complete it?"
Kong Qing Xiaozi puffed out his chest, his eyes firm as ever, and shouted loudly: "Please rest assured, big brother, even if the road ahead is thick with thorns and difficulties piled high, I will surely give my all to accomplish what you have entrusted me with!"
Lin Yang nodded in satisfaction, raised his hand and patted Kong Qing Xiaozi's shoulder.
Afterward.
The two bade each other farewell, Kong Qing Xiaozi, holding firm conviction, strode toward the direction of Central State.
Meanwhile, Lin Yang turned and set off toward the venue of Qing State's Grand Competition—Cloud City.
