Chapter 83: You're Not Such a Bad Old Man, Are You

"Give her to me, and I will naturally let her go."

Jiang Xun looked at Tu Nan and said.

"You release the person first, otherwise I will kill her."

Tu Nan grabbed Lin Qingwan by the throat and said.

Lin Qingwan was instantly unable to breathe; she widened her eyes and gripped Tu Nan's hand tightly, trying to pry it off, but she was simply no match for him.

"Alright then, go ahead and kill her."

To everyone's surprise, Jiang Xun nodded straightforwardly.

"Hm?" Tu Nan couldn't help but frown as he looked at Jiang Xun, then glanced at Lin Qingwan.

Could he have captured the wrong person?

That was impossible; the two of them had already acknowledged each other.

"She betrayed me and provided information to the Baihua Sect. I was going to kill her anyway; I just wanted to watch her die with my own eyes. Of course, it's even better if I kill her myself."

Jiang Xun smiled, but he applied more pressure with his hand, the sword pressing against Tu Wan's neck and drawing another line of blood.

"Hey! I just got that healed! My Spirit Power is still Spirit Power, you know, not water!"

Tu Wan felt herself bleeding again and glared at Jiang Xun, shouting.

"Then let her give Lin Qingwan to me."

Jiang Xun smiled.

"Aunt, just give her to him. There's no need to sacrifice my life for a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and there's no need for us both to perish."

Tu Wan looked at Tu Nan and shouted.

Hearing this, Tu Nan had no choice but to release Lin Qingwan and toss her to Zhong Lingqing.

Zhong Lingqing also grabbed Lin Qingwan by the arm.

Lin Qingwan was scared to death; so, were all these people's goals to kill her?

A Saintess of the Tianwu Sect, a Protector of the Tianwu Sect, a Great Elder of the Lingerie-Sect, and... wait, what the hell? Isn't this the former Sect Master of the Baihua Sect??

What does this mean?

What is going on?

What happened?

Looking at this setup, is the former Sect Master a lackey of Elder Jiang?

"Release her."

Tu Nan looked at Jiang Xun and said coldly.

"That won't do." Jiang Xun shook his head.

"You lecherous old man!" Tu Wan was stunned by his words and shouted.

"If I let her go now, how are we supposed to leave? I have to take her with me."

"Don't push me," Tu Nan said, gritting his teeth. "If anything happens to the Saintess today, I will definitely lead men to wipe out the Lingerie-Sect!"

"I can take an oath; as soon as we reach a safe place, I will release her immediately," Jiang Xun said upon seeing this.

"... Fine." Tu Nan nodded.

"I, Jiang Xun, swear that as long as we are safe, I will immediately release Tu Wan, otherwise I shall suffer a soul-extinguishing death." Jiang Xun raised his finger to swear, a light flashed over his body, and the oath was completed.

"Get lost."

Tu Nan said coldly.

"Come with me for a trip, Saintess."

Jiang Xun held his sword across Tu Wan's neck and wrapped an arm around her small waist, smiling.

Afterward, he gave Zhong Lingqing a wink, and the two of them left together, flying toward Yunyin City.

"Fine, Jiang Xun, Hehuan Young Master, is it? You old lecher, why didn't the heavenly lightning strike you dead!"

Tu Wan only just learned Jiang Xun's name; held in his arms, her little mouth chattered away.

"Oh, is my reputation that big? Even the Saintess has heard of me?"

Jiang Xun put away the Liu Hong Sword and smiled. With Tu Nan not around, even if Tu Wan wanted to run, she couldn't.

"Heh, World's Number One Beautiful Man. I was foolish to have fantasies about the World's Number One Beautiful Man, but now... I see you're nothing special."

Tu Wan sneered.

"Yes, yes, yes, the Saintess is right."

Jiang Xun did not refute her, nodding perfunctorily, then looked at Lin Qingwan, who was being carried by Zhong Lingqing: "Are you mentally prepared? Betraying me is a very serious matter."

"I... sigh."

Lin Qingwan started to speak but stopped, finally letting out a sigh.

What on earth has happened in the few days since I joined the Tianwu Sect!

The lake was not far from Yunyin City, and the four of them soon arrived at the Teleportation Array.

"Don't bother seeing us off."

Tu Wan waved her hand and said.

"Off you go."

Jiang Xun grabbed Tu Wan and stepped onto the Teleportation Array.

"Hey? What are you doing? You took an oath!"

Tu Wan said in a panic.

"Tianji City."

Jiang Xun ignored her and spoke to the guards.

With a wave of his hand, eight thousand High-grade Spirit Stones appeared before the guard.

"Alrighty."

Seeing the Spirit Stones were all there, the guard did not hesitate and directly activated the Teleportation Array.

"I'm not leaving! I'm not leaving!"

Tu Wan shouted in a hurry, but it was already too late.

The Teleportation Array shone brightly, and the four of them had already vanished.

"Ah!!"

Tu Wan let out a miserable shriek, and when she opened her eyes again, she was already in Tianji City.

"Why didn't you perish and dissipate?"

Tu Wan looked at Jiang Xun and asked.

"I said I would let you go once I was safe, and I'm not safe right now."

Jiang Xun shrugged and smiled.

"We're already in Tianji City, the territory of the Lingerie-Sect; what could you possibly be unsafe about?"

"As long as I am holding onto you, there is always a risk of being attacked by the Tianwu Sect, so as long as you are here, I am in danger."

Jiang Xun pulled Tu Wan off the Teleportation Array and smiled.

"That's even possible?"

Tu Wan widened her eyes upon hearing this.

Zhong Lingqing could not help but laugh.

This Lingerie-Sect really was not some upright and honorable sect.

"Alright, I'm just teasing you."

Jiang Xun smiled, stopped walking, and took out a Storage Bag: "Inside this are two thousand High-grade Spirit Stones." Then he took out a Soul Returning Pill: "This is a Soul Returning Pill; after you go back, dig out A Bao's flesh and ashes and try using the Soul Returning Pill."

Jiang Xun placed these two items into Tu Wan's hands.

Tu Wan stood frozen on the spot, at a loss for what to do for a moment.

"Are you selling Soul Returning Pills wholesale?"

After coming to her senses, Tu Wan looked at Jiang Xun and frowned as she spoke.

"... Do you know how to say thank you?"

Jiang Xun slapped Tu Wan on the buttocks and said.

"Hey!" Tu Wan was indeed a Saintess of the Demonic Sect; she was not shy even after being slapped on the buttocks. She gave a delicate shout and then said: "I was going to say thank you, but since you touched my butt, let this count as the thank-you gift."

After saying this, Tu Wan walked back to the Teleportation Array, gave the Spirit Stones to the guard, and then looked at Jiang Xun and smiled: "You old man aren't too bad."

With a flash of light, Tu Wan disappeared from before Jiang Xun.

【Ding, Soul Returning Pill and two thousand High-grade Spirit Stones gifted successfully!】

【Ding, obtained: Soul Returning Pill x10, Top-grade Spirit Stone x!】

【Ding, Tu Wan's favorability: 25!】

【Return multiplier: 250!】

After Tu Wan left, the system popped up a notification.

Keeping Tu Wan at the Lingerie-Sect was of no use, and it might even bring danger to the Lingerie-Sect.

Rather than that, it was better to give Tu Wan some good things and send her back.

For one, he could get a return; for another, he could gain favorability; and thirdly, Tu Wan would also prevent the Tianwu Sect from seeking revenge later.

Killing three birds with one stone, why not do it?

Bringing Tu Wan to Tianji City was naturally for the sake of reasonably gifting Spirit Stones to obtain even more Spirit Stones.

"You are truly a person who is hard to understand. You had the Saintess in your hands, yet you let her go, and just now the situation was so critical, why didn't you run?"

Zhong Lingqing looked at Jiang Xun and asked.

"If I had run, wouldn't you have died there? You're the one to talk; we clearly agreed that if we encountered an Integration Realm cultivator, you would run for your life, yet you still protected me so I could run first."

Jiang Xun looked back at Zhong Lingqing and smiled.

'Is the relationship between these two this good? Could the former Sect Master... be a spy for the Lingerie-Sect?'

Lin Qingwan was completely confused listening to their conversation; after all, she did not yet know that the Lingerie-Sect had merged with the Baihua Sect.
