Chapter 4: The Enemy Comes to the Door

Lin Yang's words fell.

Everyone then looked over.

"What the hell?"

"You were given the first pick, and you chose a Chen-level talent disciple?"

"You're really an idiot."

The crowd, one after another, mocked Lin Yang as an idiot.

Han Ya couldn't help but burst out laughing, bluntly mocking: "You little trash, at least you have some self-awareness; trash like you only deserves to take on a Chen-level talent disciple, got it?"

Luo Wuqing's face turned ashen.

She never expected Lin Yang to make such a choice.

Surely avoiding his edge, not directly opposing Li Mu, not fighting for that Day-level talent disciple, she could understand, but Lin Yang could totally have chosen a Month-level talent disciple.

But he instead chose a Chen-level talent disciple, completely forgetting her words; after she left the Qingyun Sect, how could she rest easy?

"Lin Yang, you don't need to bear any pressure; I'll give you another chance to choose." Luo Wuqing said, looking at Lin Yang.

No need.

Lin Yang replied: "I've decided to take her as my disciple, and I won't pick any other disciples."

After all, the system said only Li Yilan on site met the talent standard; as for the others, they're misshapen melons and cracked dates, unqualified to become his disciples.

Seeing Lin Yang so determined, Luo Wuqing said nothing more; perhaps letting him face the Six Peaks alone would put too much pressure on him.

Thus, since he wasn't willing, there was no need to keep forcing him; while she hadn't left yet, we might as well give Lin Yang some extra backup from other angles.

Seeing Lin Yang make such a decision, all the disciples on site and the Six Great Peak Masters breathed a sigh of relief.

The former were relieved, knowing they wouldn't be admitted to the Seventh Peak and ruined.

The latter were relieved, knowing Lin Yang wouldn't compete with them for outstanding talent disciples.

Lin Yang waved, gesturing for Li Yilan to step forward and ask: "Are you willing to become my disciple?"

Li Yilan below stared in surprise.

She was still wondering how to become Lin Yang's disciple, never expecting him to come straight to her.

"What's there to be surprised about? You're born with great luck; if not for that luck, how could you have met me? And him actively taking you as a disciple—is that really strange?" the person in the ring said.

Li Yilan suddenly understood; that's how it was.

At that moment, a disciple below shouted: "This disciple, the Seventh Peak Master asks if you're willing."

"If I were you, I'd definitely agree right away."

"After all, the Seventh Peak is a newly established peak, and also a peak assigned by the Sect Master; in the future you could be a founding merit of the peak—hurry and agree."

Everyone urged Li Yilan, one after another, fearing she wouldn't join.

After all, if Li Yilan refused to join the Seventh Peak, then they'd have to join it themselves, and they naturally didn't want to.

Even the Six Great Peak Masters on stage looked down, watching the show.

For a moment, Li Yilan felt a little panicked.

At that moment, a voice came from the ring: "Don't just stand there dazed—hurry up and answer him."

"These people are just laughing at you now; wait a few days, with your talent and luck, plus my guidance, your strength will surely skyrocket in no time—then they won't even be able to cry."

Regarding their cold mockery, the person in the ring also spoke indignantly.

Li Yilan nodded in agreement, then lifted her head to look at Lin Yang.

"Disciple is willing to enter your gate..."

She hadn't finished speaking.

Boom!

In the sky, three powerful pillars of energy suddenly rose, standing tall like heaven-supporting pillars.

The powerful aura instantly made the Qingyun Sect's clouds roll dark.

On the heaven-supporting pillars stood three middle-aged men.

The leading man wore splendid robes and had an extraordinary bearing.

The two behind him likewise had cold expressions and remarkable demeanor.

Seeing the three, Li Yilan below trembled and lowered her head deeply.

The Qingyun Sect's Six Great Peak Masters slowly lifted their gazes.

"People of the Xiao Family?"

"What are they here for? Han Ya looked puzzled."

Seeing this, Lin Yang likewise looked puzzled at Luo Wuqing.

He naturally had also heard of the Xiao Family, one of Qingzhou's three great clans, whose strength is not inferior to the Qingyun Sect in the slightest; rumors say the Xiao Family also has an extraordinarily powerful ancestor.

Luo Wuqing didn't respond to Lin Yang; instead, she slightly bent her feet, shot up high, and turned into a flowing light.

Behind her, a mighty surge rose like a tornado, instantly overwhelming the aura of the three Xiao Family members.

Luo Wuqing stood higher than the three Xiao Family members, looking down coldly at them.

"Xiao Potian, you've come uninvited with such a show of force—are you intending to wage war on my Qingyun Sect?"

Luo Wuqing's cold voice was not only deafening but also carried a powerful oppressive force.

It actually pressed down the three's aura by an entire level.

Among the Xiao Family trio, the family head Xiao Potian, enduring the pressure, looked at Luo Wuqing and said: "Sect Master Luo, you've misunderstood; I, Xiao, have come for a purpose."

"A purpose?" Luo Wuqing snorted coldly and asked: "Is that your way of handling things?"

"Please calm your anger, Sect Master Luo."

Xiao Potian gave a slight bow, then dispersed his aura and slowly descended onto the presidential platform.

Luo Wuqing also slowly descended, standing beside Lin Yang, his gaze falling on Xiao Potian.

"What are you here for?"

Xiao Potian glanced at Luo Wuqing, then his fierce gaze locked onto Li Yilan below the stage.

Seeing this, Li Yilan turned her head and prepared to flee.

But he was forced to kneel by Xiao Potian's angry shout: "You ignorant girl, how long will you keep running?"

The powerful aura instantly made Li Yilan kneel on the ground, suffering immensely.

Everyone was startled.

How did this person offend the Xiao Clan?

Could it be that the Xiao Clan Chief came for her?

The crowd whispered and speculated among themselves.

Lin Yang only felt a buzz in his head.

Damn, this is my disciple!

Lin Yang angrily pointed at Xiao Potian and roared: "Let her go, old man!"

Xiao Potian naturally wouldn't care about Lin Yang's angry shout, after all he was only at the Nascent Soul realm.

Buzz!

Luo Wuqing waved his hand, and the pressure Xiao Potian had placed on Li Yilan instantly vanished.

Xiao Potian looked at Luo Wuqing: "Luo Sect Master, what do you mean by this?"

Luo Wuqing coldly said: "This person is my Azure Cloud Sect disciple; you, Xiao Potian, have barged into the Azure Cloud Sect and forced my disciple to kneel—what is your intention?"

Seeing the pressure relieved, Lin Yang hurriedly stepped down, pulled Li Yilan onto the stage, and hid her behind him to protect her.

Seeing this, Xiao Potian felt hatred, but with Luo Wuqing backing him, he eventually endured and said: "Luo Sect Master, this person's name is Li Yilan; she is my son's fiancée."

"The Xiao Clan raised her for ten years, providing her food and drink all this time, yet half a month ago she suddenly regretted the engagement, saying she wouldn't marry, wanting to break off the engagement with my son; she then slipped out of the Xiao Clan unnoticed, and now, having come uninvited, she is here to be captured. I hope Luo Wuqing will understand and do me a favor by letting me take her back."

Upon hearing this, everyone understood clearly in their hearts.

So it turns out the ungrateful wretch raised for ten years has run away—no wonder the Xiao Clan Chief came with such a mighty aura to the Azure Cloud Sect.

Moreover, if she could become the young mistress of the Xiao Clan, why wouldn't she be happy and instead run away?

Some female disciples began to curse.

Luo Wuqing heard this and merely glanced at Lin Yang beside him.

Lin Yang also froze, not expecting such a thing.

If Li Yilan truly is such an ungrateful wretch, then he would never accept her as his disciple.

After all, bad character is just a kind of misshapen melon.

He turned his head to look at Li Yilan and asked: "Is this the situation?"

Li Yilan looked at Lin Yang with a face full of grievance, then her eyes turned blood-red as she stared fiercely at Xiao Potian and said to Lin Yang:

"The matter is absolutely not as he said!"
