Chapter 235: Chapter 226: eting Senior Han Again
Hearing this…
Lin Jing frowned in thought for a mont before speaking,
“This doesn’t seem quite right, Senior Brother…”
“When we arrived, there was no ntion of a cultivation restriction for entering the inner area of the Spirit Cleansing grounds.”
“Moreover…”
“My token is specifically for the inner area, so why would I go to the outer area to cultivate?”
Senior Yue looked quite displeased and then said,
“Indeed, it wasn’t explicitly stated…”
“But that’s because it was unforeseen that soone with the cultivation of Qi Refinent Level Eight would co to the Spirit Cleansing grounds.”
Lin Jing was clearly skeptical of Senior Yue’s explanation.
“If that were truly the case, Elder Master Li would have inford before I entered.”
With that thought, Lin Jing then addressed Senior Yue,
“Senior Brother, please return my token to .”
As Lin Jing’s words fell, Senior Yue’s brows inverted in irritation, saying impatiently,
“What now?”
“Do you think I would deceive you?”
“If you don’t wish to cultivate, then leave on your own.”
Having said that,
Senior Yue flicked his sleeve and turned to leave.
He showed no intention whatsoever of returning the token to Lin Jing.
Just then,
from a branch path in the inner area, a voice suddenly rang out, seemingly filled with disbelief.
“Lin Jing?”
Hearing this voice, Lin Jing was also startled.
He then turned his head to look at the person erging from the inner area.
It was, surprisingly, Senior Han.
“Senior Han…”
“How could you…”
Imdiately feeling sothing was amiss, Lin Jing corrected himself,
“So it turns out you are here as well…”
As an Inner Sect Disciple of the Qingyuan Sword Sect, it was not strange for Han Jing to be here.
At this mont…
The surprise was not limited to Lin Jing and Han Jing.
Even Senior Yue, who had turned to leave, was now frowning and standing still.
He recognized the newcor.
An Inner Sect Disciple of the Qingyuan Sword Sect.
Last na Han, given na Han Jing.
This person, like him, was in charge of managing the Spirit Cleansing grounds.
Only…
It was unclear how he ca to know Lin Jing.
Senior Yue was utterly puzzled.
If he was holding Lin Jing’s token without anyone else’s knowledge, that would be easy to handle.
As a manager of the Spirit Cleansing grounds, he could easily manipulate a minor Qi Refinent Level Eight cultivator.
But…
If this minor cultivator had connections with this ‘Junior Han’ from the Qingyuan Sword Sect…
Then things would be difficult.
After all,
this place was jointly managed by three major sects.
The Elders above, particularly concerned about the relations between the three sects, had repeatedly warned to maintain amicable relations, and to avoid conflict.
Subsequently,
he recalled what Liu Yiyuan had previously said, and imdiately felt a surge of antipathy,
“This person clearly has the backing of the Qingyuan Sword Sect, yet Liu Yiyuan deliberately withheld this information from , nearly causing to make a grievous mistake.”
“Next ti I see him, I must give him a proper warning.”
Seeing Han Jing, Lin Jing was overjoyed.
“Senior Han, I didn’t expect to encounter you here…”
Han Jing clearly had many questions:
“This place is under the managent of the three great sects, and my current duty is to assist the Elders in overseeing it.”
“But you, how did you get in here…”
After finishing,
Han Jing sized up Lin Jing from head to toe and then said,
“You’re quite the lad, Qi Refinent Level Eight…”
“How did you cultivate so quickly?”
Han Jing knew Lin Jing very well and was aware that he possessed a talent of the Five Elents Mixed Spirit Root.
In his opinion…
For Lin Jing to have survived in the Fang Market at the foot of the mountain these past few years was already quite an accomplishnt.
In terms of his cultivation, he could, at most, have improved to the third level of Qi Refinent.
But he never expected…
Lin Jing had actually made a breakthrough to the eighth level of Qi Refinent in one go.
For soone with the talent of a Five Elents Mixed Spirit Root, this was truly defying the heavens.
“This is a long story, we’ll talk about it later…”
After finishing, Lin Jing looked towards Senior Yue.
At this mont…
Senior Yue finally found a chance to join the conversation.
“Senior Han, you… know each other?”
Senior Yue asked, pointing at Lin Jing.
Han Jing nodded and then said:
“This is Lin Jing, to put it in a way, he can be considered a junior brother of mine.”
“His father was once a disciple of Qingyuan Sword Sect, and he had helped a lot…”
After speaking, Han Jing turned towards Senior Yue and asked:
“Senior Yue…”
“When I was inside just now, it seed like there was an argunt. May I know what that was about?”
Faced with Han Jing’s inquiry, Senior Yue, without a hint of embarrassnt or skipping a beat, blurted out:
“Junior Han, it seems you must have heard wrong.”
“Just now…”
“I was introducing the Cleansing Spirit Ground to Junior Lin. Maybe I was a bit loud, which led you to mistake it for an argunt.”
After speaking.
Senior Yue took out the token he had taken from Lin Jing and handed it back to him, adding:
“Junior Lin…”
“This token is the key to open the cave abode, you must keep it safe.”
Senior Yue’s actions were not due to fear of Han Jing.
Rather.
Provoking Han Jing without cause would be extrely disadvantageous to himself.
Even if this was all for earning a favor from the Young Master of the Yun Family…
If the matter was not handled well and it brought trouble upon himself, the loss would outweigh the gain.
So.
After much deliberation, he decided to actively reconcile with Lin Jing.
At this ti, Han Jing also asked Lin Jing:
“Is that so?”
Lin Jing pondered for a mont…
Seeing Lin Jing remaining silent, Senior Yue’s heart skipped a beat, and his eyebrows furrowed tightly:
“Could he really think that I’m afraid? Does he intend to pick a fight?”
However, Lin Jing did not ponder for too long. After a short while, he nodded and said:
“It’s exactly as Senior Yue said, he was just informing about the Cleansing Spirit Ground.”
“Thank you, Senior Yue.”
After speaking, Lin Jing even gave Senior Yue a fist salute.
Seeing Lin Jing being so cooperative, Senior Yue relaxed too and returned the gesture, saying:
“Not at all…”
“Junior Lin, you’re too polite…”
Seeing the two being so harmonious, Han Jing nodded and said:
“So that’s it…”
“It seems I really heard wrong.”
After speaking, Han Jing glanced at the jade token in Lin Jing’s hand and then spoke again:
“Lin Jing…”
“Co, let have a look at your token…”
Lin Jing still trusted Han Jing very much.
He imdiately handed the token to Han Jing.
Han Jing took the token and began examining it.
A mont later, after having looked it over…
He returned the token to Lin Jing and then said to Senior Yue:
“Senior Yue…”
“I know that guarding the entrance can be quite busy. Lin Jing is my junior brother; let take him into the cave abode, so you won’t be troubled anymore…”
After hearing this, Senior Yue nodded:
“That would be good indeed, then I’ll leave it to you, Junior Han.”
“Both of you, if you’ll excuse …”
After speaking.
Senior Yue gave them a fist salute and turned around, walking back the way he ca.
However…
No sooner had Senior Yue walked past the entrance than his expression grew dark, and he said fiercely:
“Liu Yiyuan, I’ll rember you…”
