Chapter 70: I've arrived, where are the enemies?

Cai Ling Auntie, do you really think bad people can suddenly become good?

Among the Li family disciples, a younger disciple in the enlightenment stage asked, his face full of doubt.

Um… this… I… I don't know either.

Li Cai Ling also didn't know how to answer these disciples; after all, these children are at the age of forming their moral outlook. Saying that bad people can become good might later harm them, but not saying it would be hard to explain, especially since the elders of the three major sects and two major families have suddenly turned good and no longer seek to divide the Li family's land.

The child who asked the question, your question is good.

As for bad people, there are two cases. Some are wicked to the core; everyone must stay away from them.

Another case is that someone was previously bad, but due to time, place, situation, environment, and character relationships, they suddenly become good. For such people, we should judge case by case, not simply label them as bad or good.

Of course, if you have such people around, everyone should be kind-hearted, show more tolerance and love.

Thus, the elders of the originally bandit-like Resting Soil Sect, as well as the Tang and Du families, each became life mentors, teaching the Li family disciples in turn.

That's right, people like us deserve more tolerance and care, because we are absolutely not bad.

Yes, yes, we are good people.

Moreover, we are all descendants of the Hundred Flowers Fairy; our ancestors set a rule that all forces within Hundred Flowers Valley must respect each other equally, benefit mutually, and everyone must love one another as one family.

That's right, that's right, this is the land area deed we measured for the Li family; please keep it safe.

This is the penalty fee we shamelessly imposed on ourselves for measuring the Li family's land area; please keep it safe.

Thus, deed after deed, plus the penalty fees, fell into Li Cai Ling's hands.

They even talked and laughed, getting closer to Li Cai Ling.

Let Li Cai Ling go find her to play.

Please let Li Cai Ling have a meal.

Moreover, an elder of the Resting Soil Sect directly called Li Cai Ling 'sister'.

This startled Li Cai Ling so much her eyes almost popped out.

You, with your white wooden head and beard, I'm still unmarried, and you call me sister?

In short, the elders on site lost their dignity.

Those who didn't know might think Li Cai Ling had beaten these people into submission.

But if said aloud, nobody would believe it.

Just a moment ago, these people were still heartless and wanted to divide the Li family's land.

In an instant, they turned into this.

Everyone glanced at the sky, laughing, and said, 'Miss Cai Ling, if there's nothing else, we'll be going first.'

Yes, yes, until we meet again.

However, before Li Cai Ling could speak.

These people ran away faster than mice.

Moreover, an elder even lost his shoes.

This…

Li Cai Ling and the Li family members once again stared at each other, utterly bewildered.

Has the Li family's crisis been resolved just like that?

Why?

They racked their brains but still couldn't figure it out.

Could it be love?

Everyone shook their heads.

Love your mother's twisted dough.

If it were love, they would have loved already.

Then what exactly is the reason?

Just as they were puzzled.

Whoosh!

A powerful phantom descended before everyone.

Li Cai Ling's heart, which had just calmed, tightened again.

Everyone stay alert.

A five-year-old child picked up a stone and stood ready.

However.

When Li Cai Ling clearly saw who had arrived, she froze.

Yi Lan?

These two words escaped her mouth in an incredulous tone.

Li Yi Lan, upon seeing Li Cai Ling, also had tears welling up, quickly rushed over and flung herself into Li Cai Ling's arms.

Aunt!

Mm, Yi Lan. Li Cai Ling likewise had tears welling up.

Since the Xiao family destroyed the Li family, various rumors have been incessant.

Some rumors said that Li Yi Lan and her parents were killed together by the Xiao family.

Others rumored that Li Yi Lan was trapped in the Xiao family's dog kennel and suffered endless humiliation.

Now that Yi Lan has returned safely, how could her aunt not be happy?

Moreover, the current Xiao family needs her.

Yi Lan, where have you been all this time? I had the Qingmu Sect Master go to the Xiao family to inquire about your news, but there was absolutely no information.

The remaining members of the Li family, likewise with concerned looks, inquired about Li Yilan's situation.

Li Yilan responded to each of the Li family members' questions.

She also told everyone what had happened these past days.

When they heard that Li Yilan had been locked up in a dog kennel by Xiao Potian, they all gritted their teeth.

When they heard that Li Yilan had escaped from the Xiao family, everyone breathed a sigh of relief; when they heard that she had joined the Qingyun Sect, they again exclaimed that it had been a close call.

But when they heard that the Xiao family had attacked the Qingyun Sect, everyone grew tense again; one could say their emotions rose and fell as Li Yilan continued her story.

This precisely shows that they care deeply for Li Yilan.

Finally, when Li Yilan recounted how Lin Yang had brought her to attack the Qingyun Sect, slain Xiao Huo, Xiao Potian, and Xiao Shanhai, wiped out the Xiao family, and reclaimed her parents' remains, everyone was stunned.

It was as if they had heard a myth.

You must know, the Xiao family's overall strength far surpassed that of the Li family at its peak.

Even though the Xiao family had destroyed the Li family, mentioning revenge still put them under great pressure.

Yet now, Li Yilan's master, with the force of a sweeping wind, directly overturned the Xiao family.

How could they not be astonished?

At this moment.

Li Cai Ling then came to her senses, looked at Lin Yang and Xiao Hei beside her, and softly asked Li Yilan, 'Yilan, which of these two is your master?'

Li Yilan then introduced, 'Aunt, this is my master Lin Yang, and that is his subordinate Xiao Hei.'

Upon saying that,

Li Cai Ling was startled again; she had originally thought that Lin Yang was Xiao Hei's subordinate, after all Lin Yang's aura seemed calm and showed no spiritual power fluctuations, just like an ordinary person.

As for Xiao Hei, he harbors within him a power capable of annihilating everything, utterly terrifying, yet he is Lin Yang's subordinate.

But this is the most frightening of all, for the unfathomable are the most terrifying.

Immediately, she fell to her knees with a thud.

Then,

She said to the Li family disciples, 'Everyone, kneel at once to thank Peak Master Lin for extending a helping hand when Yilan faced difficulties, and for accepting Yilan as his disciple, aiding the Li family in overthrowing the Xiao family.'

'Such kindness, my Li family will never forget; now I lead all Li family disciples in thanking Peak Master Lin for his aid, and henceforth Peak Master Lin shall be an honored guest of my Li family—should the need arise, the Li family is willing to go through fire and water for him.'

The Li family members showed their true feelings.

'That's too heavy.' Lin Yang waved a hand, releasing a burst of spiritual power, and lifted all the Li family members to their feet.

Li Yilan is his disciple; what's wrong with him, as a protector of his young, helping his disciple do a few things?

Furthermore,

He looked at Li Cai Ling and asked, 'I've heard the Baihua Valley faction intends to carve up the Li family's lands—where are their people?'
