Chapter 92: Troublesome? Then fight!

Li Yilan stared at the content of the letter for a long, long time……

The letter paper was stained with tear marks, full of a mother's broken and scorching longing and plea.

She could empathize.

She closed her eyes, pondered for a long time, took a deep breath, looked toward Fu Bo, and spoke.

"Fu Bo, this matter is too sudden; I can't accept it for the time being."

"Moreover……"

She lifted her head and glanced at the scenery of Hundred Flowers Valley, then looked toward the Li family members, and finally looked at Lin Yang.

She had grown up in this place since childhood; this place held memories she could not forget, and people she could not forget.

How could this land, and these people beside her, be easily given up?

"Fu Bo, although the War Immortal Li Clan is connected to me by blood, to me it is merely a strange name."

"In that lofty mansion, there is none of my past, nor any freedom to laugh and cry as I please."

"If I were to go, I would be like a bird caged in a golden cage, losing my soul and losing myself."

"Now that you see I am safe and well, please, Fu Bo, convey to my birth parents that, should the opportunity arise, I will certainly visit the War Immortal Li Clan to pay my respects to the elders, so they need not worry."

Li Yilan's gaze refused; she had already made her decision in her heart.

"Miss, the master and mistress really……"

Fu Bo still wanted to speak, but Li Yilan stopped him; she then slowly said to Fu Bo.

"I hope Fu Bo will grant this." Afterwards, her eyes resolute, she said: "I will absolutely not leave this Hundred Flowers Valley that gave me birth and raised me, nor leave those who sincerely treat me."

Compared to that place's wealth and glory, she would rather go on southern and northern campaigns with her master.

Moreover.

In the letter her mother gave her, there was another instruction: she also has a younger sister.

Two years younger than herself.

With clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, graceful and poised, well-read and reasonable.

Thus, how could she possibly break their tranquility?

"Miss."

Fu Bo argued earnestly: "I know you can't bear to leave the people here, every plant and tree, but people must ultimately move forward; this place cannot give you what you want."

"Moreover, your life shouldn't be like this; you have your own mission, your own responsibility, you should bravely shoulder this……"

Fu Bo hadn't finished speaking when Li Yilan interrupted him again.

"Fu Bo, I have my own path, I have my own choice, I am currently doing very well."

"Moreover, what you say are merely the missions set for me by the War Immortal Li Clan."

"I have made it clear: although I am connected by blood to the War Immortal Li Clan, I am ultimately just a strange name."

"Miss, is there truly no room for maneuver in this matter?"

Fu Bo looked at Li Yilan and asked.

Li Yilan firmly replied: "My intention is set."

"But the order I received is to bring you back."

"Therefore."

Although Fu Bo was reluctant in his heart, a hint of seriousness still crossed the corner of his eye.

"Miss, I can only offend; if you wish to punish this old servant, let's discuss it after returning to the War Immortal Li Clan."

Immediately.

Fu Bo suddenly struck out, preparing to first take Li Yilan back to the War Immortal Li Clan before speaking further.

But he had just made a move.

Lin Yang, standing silently to the side, had already taken in every word of the conversation between Li Yilan and Fu Bo.

Seeing Fu Bo suddenly make a move, his expression turned stern.

He stepped forward one step.

He lightly raised his hand, and with a single strike repelled Fu Bo's attack.

Afterwards, he shielded Li Yilan behind him, giving her endless courage and strength.

Next, Lin Yang's gaze turned to Fu Bo.

"Fu Bo,

Lin Yang slowly spoke, his voice low and steady, carrying an undeniable certainty.

"You constantly speak of mission and responsibility, but Miss Li has received no favors from the Li family over these years; whether she returns or not to the War Immortal Li Clan is her own decision—why must you force her to do what is difficult for her?"

Blocked by Lin Yang's strike, Fu Bo was obviously startled, never expecting there to be such a powerful person here.

He stared at Lin Yang, wanting to see the opponent's strength clearly, but could not see through it at all.

But from that strike just now, it's clear that the strength is not low.

Xiao Hei also stood beside Lin Yang.

"Master, Xiao Hei has come to lend aid."

Seeing this.

Fu Bo was stunned; a Quasi-Emperor realm expert actually called this person "master"?

Then what is his own strength?

Next.

Fu Bo looked again.

Fu Bo looked again.

Baihua Fairy also stood starkly before Lin Yang.

"Young master, I also came to lend aid."

Fu Bo was stunned again; another Quasi-Emperor expert treated him with such respect.

"This..."

His heart startled, he narrowed his eyes at Lin Yang.

"Who are you?"

Lin Yang said lightly: "Li Yatou's master."

"Master?"

Fu Bo furrowed his brows.

At this moment, Li Yilan also said to Lin Yang: "Master, sorry for bringing you trouble."

"It's fine." Lin Yang smiled: "With me here, no one can force you to do something you don't like."

Li Yilan nodded, her heart warm.

That's what a master is like—each time he can step forward for her, standing where she needs him most.

After a moment's thought, Fu Bo said: "It turns out you are the young miss's master; I harbor no ill will—it's merely that the family head and matriarch of the War Immortal Li family miss the young dearly, so they sent this old servant to fetch her."

"I hope you can persuade the young miss to return to the Li family, and also thank you for your guidance toward her; this kindness, my Li family will keep in mind, and I present a gift of gratitude."

In Fu Bo's view, this person's intervention now is merely to gain some advantage.

Furthermore.

He could instead bestow favors upon this person, persuading him to convince the young miss to return to the Li family, thus avoiding offending her.

Thinking thus, he prepared to give Lin Yang some gifts to win him over.

"As for favors and gifts, they're unnecessary."

When Fu Bo produced his storage ring to prepare a gift for Lin Yang, Lin Yang directly interrupted him.

Instead, he slightly turned his body, gazing gently at Li Yilan and said: "This girl is stubborn; once she sets her mind on a path, not even nine oxen can pull her back. I also don't wish to become enemies with your War Immortal Li family over this—do me a favor: if she's unwilling, don't force her, agreed?"

Fu Bo narrowed his eyes, then narrowed them again at Lin Yang, saying nothing.

Lin Yang also didn't mind, staring straight at Fu Bo and said: "Furthermore, as the saying goes, 'a melon forced to ripen isn't sweet,' and I'm known for protecting my own—I could never let you forcibly take her away."

"Fu Bo, why not let go and give Li Yatou some time? Once her wings grow fuller, if she thinks of her blood kin, she will naturally come to visit the Li family's second master; then a reunion would be a happy tale."

Lin Yang's words were clear and logical, every sentence considering his good disciple, revealing an unshakable resolve—he would rather offend the War Immortal Li family than fail to protect his disciple fully, guarding her this realm of freedom.

Fu Bo pursed his lips, his face awkward as he spoke.

"Sir, the order to bring the young miss back to the War Immortal Li family was personally given by the family head and matriarch; I, this old servant, find it difficult as well."

"Difficult?"

Lin Yang narrowed his eyes.

Fu Bo nodded.

He deliberately mentioned the identities of the War Immortal Li family's head and matriarch, aiming to pressure Lin Yang into backing down.

Unexpectedly.

Lin Yang simply did not follow the usual playbook.

He let out a cold snort.

"Difficult."

"Then let's fight!"
