Chapter 9: Parting

The Seventh Peak is the strongest peak of the Qingyun Sect, and I also wish to join.

Get lost, what qualifications does a Chen-level talent disciple have to join the Seventh Peak?

I am a Star-level talent disciple; I am the most qualified to join the Seventh Peak.

At this moment, the Star-level talent disciples also began to feel tempted.

What's your Star-level talent? Step aside, I am a Moon-level talent.

A youth with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes stepped forward arrogantly and said, "Peak Master Lin, I wish to join the Seventh Peak."

For a moment, heads turned before Lin Yang, each individual excited, vying to be first, awaiting his response.

After all, whoever is the first to join the Seventh Peak would effectively have the Sect Master backing them.

Moreover, the Seventh Peak Master's strength is extraordinary, and he would never teach them poorly.

Furthermore, the Seventh Peak is a newly established peak; whoever joins first gets to enjoy its resources first.

If luck is good, as the Seventh Peak develops later, they could even become founding contributors of the peak.

Lin Yang looked at these self-recommending disciples.

Among them, there were not a few disciples who had just been avoiding him.

He couldn't help but burst out laughing.

I'm really sorry, the Seventh Peak follows an elite path; we don't accept misfits, so you have no chance.

Upon saying that, everyone's faces instantly flushed with shame.

Lin Yang turned to look at Luo Wuqing and said, "Sect Master, I've finished recruiting; there's currently no suitable candidate."

These people don't even meet the basic requirements; he naturally wouldn't want them.

Fine!

Luo Wuqing nodded: "I'll take you to the Seventh Peak."

Lin Yang nodded.

At that moment.

Li Mu suddenly said, "Sect Master, wait."

Luo Wuqing turned to look at Li Mu.

What's up?

Lin Yang also looked at him.

Li Mu said, "The Sect Master established the Seventh Peak; I originally disagreed, but of course the Sect Master won't cancel the Seventh Peak just because I disagree."

"You got it right," Luo Wuqing said.

Li Mu's face sank: "In that case, let's each take a step back. Three months from now, at the Qingyun Sect Grand Tournament, if the Seventh Peak places last among the peaks, that will show Peak Master Lin's ability is limited and unsuitable for establishing a peak; thus we will cancel the Seventh Peak's founding—do you dare?"

What makes you think I would agree?

Luo Wuqing coldly said: "Moreover, how shameless can you be? You clearly know Lin Yang accepted a Chen-level talent disciple, yet you want to fight in three months with your Sun-level talent disciple—you're dreaming."

Having said that, Luo Wuqing turned to prepare to take Lin Yang and the others away.

"Sect Master, you gave Lin Yang the chance to pick disciples first, but he only chose Li Yilan."

"If you disagree with this, I will truthfully report it to the Elder Council."

Upon saying that, Li Mu pointed at Lin Yang and said, "Lin Yang, do you dare to bet?"

I bet you a twisted doughnut.

Lin Yang slapped away Li Mu's finger.

He hates this kind of betting.

What a pointless bet.

If you're not satisfied, just fight.

If you're going to fight, fight big—who wants to waste time betting with you here?

Seeing this, Li Mu confronted him head-on.

You wouldn't dare, would you?

Lin Yang glared back.

Stop barking; in three months I'll bring my disciple to sweep your Sword Peak—if I can't sweep it, the Seventh Peak will be canceled.

Having said that!

Lin Yang gestured that Luo Wuqing could leave.

Meanwhile, only the disciples remained, looking at each other.

Li Mu's face was as black as ink.

He originally intended this to embarrass Lin Yang.

He didn't expect the opposite to turn the tables on him.

At this moment!

"Master, rest assured; no need to wait three months—two months later, the disciple will personally challenge the Seventh Peak."

The speaker was none other than Shi Hao.

"The disciple will surely beat them into voluntarily admitting defeat and disbanding the Seventh Peak."

……

Not long after, Luo Wuqing brought Lin Yang and Li Yilan to the Seventh Peak.

This place only has a few peaks, and it seems just recently developed.

On the highest peak, a clearing has been developed.

A courtyard complex has been built on it.

Very new.

Very warm.

After arriving at the destination, Lin Yang let Li Yilan go in first to tidy up her own room.

He and Luo Wuqing then arrived at a valley.

Flowers bloomed profusely, bees and butterflies swarmed.

"Where should I start telling you?" Lin Yang asked.

"You ask, I'll answer." Luo Wuqing, with a pretty face, looked at Lin Yang, blushing.

"Has your strength increased?"

Lin Yang nodded.

"When I was three, I already told you that one day I would soar to the heavens; today is that day of takeoff."

Luo Wuqing seemed to recall her childhood, blushing as she smiled: "I thought you were joking."

"Not at all!"

Luo Wuqing also said: "What's the reason for killing Xiao Potian?"

Lin Yang said: "His son is called Xiao Huo, and he also said that line: "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not bully the poor youth.""

"Hiss..."

Luo Wuqing sucked in a breath of cold air: "That really calls for precaution."

Lin Yang nodded.

After all, when he was young, to trick Luo Wuqing into going to the back mountain to play, he often told her the story of Xiao Yan.

Thus, Luo Wuqing instantly understood why Lin Yang wanted to kill Xiao Potian.

"However..." Luo Wuqing solemnly looked at Lin Yang and said: "You must not go looking for trouble with the Xiao family on your own; the Xiao family patriarch seems about to break into the Quasi-Emperor Realm. Everything, wait until I finish my affairs before we speak further—understand?"

Lin Yang nodded on the surface.

But his heart grew increasingly uneasy.

The attempt to kill Xiao Potian failed, the Xiao family patriarch is about to break into the Quasi-Emperor Realm; everything went too smoothly, as if someone behind the scenes was guiding it.

He knew this absolutely could not be delayed.

And Lin Yang's little thought in his heart couldn't be hidden from Luo Wuqing; for now she only needs to go finish that matter and return as soon as possible.

Immediately, she also said: "Li Yilan may have only average talent, but her character is not bad; you can use her to practice on."

"As for the matter concerning Sword Peak, you need not worry about it; I will handle it."

Lin Yang still nodded.

"Are you ready to leave?"

Luo Wuqing nodded: "Some things must be done."

"I'll wait for you."

Lin Yang opened his arms and said: "Give me a hug."

Luo Wuqing's face turned red, but she still walked toward him.

And Lin Yang liked that about Luo Wuqing.

In front of the world, Luo Wuqing is forever that aloof, desireless female Sect Master.

But in front of him, whenever she returns or goes out, she always leans into his embrace, like a shy little bride.

After a long while~

Lin Yang patted Luo Wuqing's shoulder.

"Alright, it's time to set off."

Luo Wuqing nodded.

Afterward, she turned into a streak of flowing light and vanished.

Lin Yang watched her receding back and thought.

"I hope she sees those things and doesn't blame me."

Actually, just now, while hugging Luo Wuqing.

He secretly slipped a storage ring into Luo Wuqing's pocket.

Inside were exactly the 100,000 spirit stones obtained from Li Mu, the Grand Void Spirit Pill, and the Supreme Dragon Armor.

Hope it can help her.

Lin Yang gave a faint smile.

But just as he turned around.

Ding—!

A token fell to the ground.

It was Luo Wuqing's Sect Master Token.

Lin Yang sighed, then glanced once more in the direction Luo Wuqing had left.

"You..."
