326: Everyone give me some face
"Teacher!"
Nalan Yanran couldn't help but shout when she saw Yun Yun didn't react.
"Yun Yun!"
Not far away, Xiao Yan was also as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but the Elder from the Tianming Sect in front of him was like a plaster, impossible to shake off.
"Go to hell!"
Hua Jin roared, her palm about to land on Yun Yun's body.
Just then.
A fair-skinned palm emerged from the Void Realm, blocking Yun Yun, and met Hua Jin's palm.
Boom!
Hua Jin was sent flying backward, as if struck by a giant wave.
"What are you spacing out for? Someone's trying to kill you, and you don't even know how to fight back?"
A familiar yet unfamiliar voice entered her ears, and Yun Yun's body trembled slightly, as if she had come to her senses, looking at the familiar Face that had appeared before her.
In that instant, she felt as if she had returned to Yunlan Mountain.
At that time, too, a group of people had besieged Yunlan Mountain, countless eyes fixed on her, wanting her dead.
And then this young man had stepped forward, pointed at her, and said, "You must leave this woman to me!"
"Lin Xiu, am I really a jinx? The Yunlan Sect is gone because of me, and now the Flower Sect is in danger, I..."
Yun Yun's eyes were filled with confusion, and a helpless expression appeared on her Face.
In that moment, her fairy-like Aura, like a disguise, completely fell away before Lin Xiu.
What remained was only a sorrow filled with pain and helplessness.
Even after a long time, Yun Yun kept thinking, if she hadn't agreed to Nalan Yanran's annulment of the engagement back then...
Would her Teacher not have died? Would the Yunlan Sect not have been destroyed?
"Do you believe me?"
Lin Xiu asked calmly.
Yun Yun was startled, then nodded gently after a moment of hesitation.
"I say you are not."
Lin Xiu said indifferently.
"I want to go back. Will you take me back to Yunlan Mountain?"
A white shadow flickered, and Yun Yun threw herself into Lin Xiu's arms, her tone almost pleading.
Everything she had said before was true, every single word!
She truly hadn't thought of becoming the Sect Master of the Flower Sect.
But no one believed her.
And wanting to leave wasn't so easy because she had accepted the Dou Qi of Granny Hua.
However, no one considered if she had the ability to refuse such a powerful Granny Hua?
"Alright! I'll take you back."
Lin Xiu hesitated for a moment, his palm gently resting on her hair.
In the original work, Xiao Yan needed the Flower Sect as an ally, so he forced Yun Yun to become the Sect Master of the Flower Sect.
But he didn't need to.
"He's finally here. This guy, I almost thought he was going to break his promise."
Nalan Yanran's hanging heart finally settled when she saw Lin Xiu appear.
"..."
In the distance, Xiao Yan saw this scene and was momentarily a Divided Soul, thus being struck by an Elder of the Tianming Sect.
Strange, my right shoulder is injured, but why does my heart hurt so much?
He staggered backward, his eyes reflecting the embracing figures, gradually covered by a surge of confusion.
"Bastard, you dare to injure my Hua Jin!"
Lord Yaohua Xie dealt with the Puppet, saw Hua Jin being sent flying, and immediately leaped, rushing towards Lin Xiu.
"Be careful, Lin Xiu!"
Yun Yun saw Lord Yaohua Xie flying towards Lin Xiu, her tears momentarily stopped, turning into worry.
However.
Lin Xiu was completely unmoved.
The next moment.
Lord Yaohua Xie, who was about to approach, was suddenly blocked by a figure, and then flew back at an even faster speed.
"Mr. Lin!"
From Lin Xiu's shoulder, she saw the previously imposing Sect Master Liu Cang actually bowing to Lin Xiu, speaking in a low, humble tone.
Yun Yun slowly tilted her head, a pair of questioning eyes gleaming with crystal light, looking up at Lin Xiu.
"Tell them to stop first."
Lin Xiu said indifferently, his back to Liu Cang.
"Yes!"
Liu Cang cupped his fists in response, and when he turned around, his eyes had already begun to tremble, a bad premonition brewing in his heart.
It seemed that attacking the Flower Sect was not a correct opportunity to atone for his sins and gain merit... How could Mr. Lin also have dealings with people from the Flower Sect?
"Tianming Sect, stop!"
Liu Cang's fierce shout echoed through the sky.
The people of the Tianming Sect gradually stopped.
Even the Old Demon Tianming in the sky was somewhat puzzled, breaking free from his opponent.
His puzzled gaze swept over Liu Cang, but he saw the other party glancing at a certain place out of the corner of his eye.
Immediately, his gaze swept over, meeting Lin Xiu's eyes as he turned to look, and his pupils suddenly contracted slightly.
"Today is a misunderstanding. Everyone, give me some Face, and disperse."
Lin Xiu's voice was not loud, but in the silent scene, everyone heard it clearly.
"Who are you?"
"The Tianming Sect attacked the Flower Sect, injuring my Flower Sect. Can you just dismiss it with a single sentence?"
The two Half-Saint women of the Flower Sect immediately pressured Lin Xiu.
"Lin Xiu, how did he get here?"
Yao Chen was startled, and when he saw Yun Yun beside him, a hint of realization flashed in his eyes, understanding something.
However, there was still some doubt in his eyes as he swept his gaze over the Tianming Sect.
Can this kid persuade the Tianming Sect to retreat with just a few words? On what grounds?
"You old hag, speak to Mr. Lin with more respect! Otherwise, I will fight to the death today and take one of you with me!"
Unexpectedly, the first to make a move was the Old Demon Tianming.
Especially, he was actually on the side of that young man!
"Lin Xiu, I wonder if this name is enough. If not, then add the Cultivation Alliance."
Lin Xiu looked up calmly, not at all oppressed by the Aura of the two Half-Saints.
Lin Xiu of the Cultivation Alliance?
The Disciples of the Flower Sect looked somewhat surprised.
"The Cultivation Alliance with Sage Skyfire in charge?"
The two Half-Saint old women were startled, exchanged glances, and one of them asked tentatively.
It was clear that even though these people were in seclusion, they still had some understanding of the outside world's information.
"You two old hags know quite a lot?"
Old Demon Tianming said in a sarcastic tone, his expression full of provocation. It would be best if these two could anger Lin Xiu. Then, with a Dou Saint making a move, taking down the Flower Sect would be effortless.
Seeing that Lin Xiu did not deny it, the Aura of the two Half-Saint old women immediately subsided a lot.
Provoking a true Dou Saint was definitely not a clear choice.
What's more, the power of the Cultivation Alliance was not just the Dou Saint; there were also many Dou Zun inside, as well as Canaan Academy.
"The Tianming Sect invaded the Flower Sect first, broke the Flower Sect's great formation, and injured many Elders and Disciples of my Flower Sect, Mr. Lin, how should this be calculated?"
One Half-Saint old woman's Face showed a hint of indignation, wanting to reclaim some Face for the Flower Sect.
If today's matter ended just like this, what Face would the Flower Sect have in the future to be called one of the two great sects alongside the Tianming Sect?
Lin Xiu heard this and a faint smile appeared on his Face, "This also needs to be calculated, that also needs to be calculated. Would it be simpler if the Flower Sect were destroyed?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his finger, taking out a Jade Slip, and a terrifying Aura erupted from it.
Immense pressure crushed down on the two old women, as well as the Elders and Disciples of the Flower Sect.
Old Demon Tianming's eyes carried schadenfreude as he stared at the two Half-Saints of the Flower Sect whose expressions had become very ugly.
These two clearly didn't understand Mr. Lin's personality. When was he ever a reasonable person?
One could see a bit of it from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion and the Ice River Valley.
The Half-Saint who spoke had a stiff expression, not expecting that young people nowadays had such a temper, not even bothering with pleasantries, and threatening to destroy a sect at the slightest disagreement.
"No, Lin Xiu."
Just as the Half-Saint of the Flower Sect was in a difficult position, Yun Yun gently pulled Lin Xiu's wrist and shook her head at him.
The Flower Sect was also a good memory for her, and she didn't want it to be destroyed like this.
"Lin Xiu, don't be impulsive. These two also lost their temper because of Old Demon Tianming's attack. There's no ill intent. Everyone, why don't we find another place and sit down to have a good talk?"
Yao Chen stepped out to persuade them.
