426: Li Hanyan's favor

"Senior, why don't you look after me? If this Junior makes something of himself in the future, I can take care of you until the end of your days!"

Yang Lingchen scratched his head and gave a cheeky grin, his Face full of fawning expression.

"You little rascal! This old man still has millions of years of life left. Taking care of me until the end of my days? Are you cursing me to die?"

Gao Huoyang was so angry that his beard bristled and his eyes widened. His wrinkled Face was full of fury as he raised his hand and slapped Yang Lingchen on the head.

Yang Lingchen shrank his neck from the sudden slap but still said with a cheeky grin: "Senior, don't misunderstand. This Junior means that if you look after me now, and I become the master of the Realm of the Gods in the future, you'll have Face when people talk about it."

Upon hearing this, Gao Huoyang was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, saying: "Good lad, your tone is bigger than the foot odor of those Mortals. Master of the Realm of the Gods? Do you even know what that implies?"

Yang Lingchen looked determined, a confident light flashing in his eyes as he said: "This Junior knows this goal is extremely distant, but how will I know if it's impossible if I don't try?"

"Then Senior, will you look after me or not? This is an investment, you know!" Yang Lingchen struck while the iron was hot, smiling with expectation in his eyes.

He could tell that Gao Huoyang's status in Wentian Palace should not be low, and he didn't have any airs. If he had such a powerful expert looking after him, it would absolutely be a great thing.

Gao Huoyang was silent for a moment, looking Yang Lingchen up and down, then smiled and said: "You little rascal, as long as you don't go looking for trouble, this old man will try his best to look after you. If I can't protect you, don't blame me."

"With your words, I can rest assured." Yang Lingchen's Face bloomed into a bright smile, as if he could already see his future sailing smoothly under Gao Huoyang's protection.

"But I must declare first, I won't handle trivial matters." Gao Huoyang said grumpily, thinking to himself that this kid better not cause him a pile of trouble.

"Of course, if I came to you for everything, wouldn't this Junior become a good-for-nothing?"

Yang Lingchen quickly promised, while secretly calculating in his heart to only seek Gao Huoyang's help when encountering big trouble in the future.

"Alright, get lost! This old man has things to do!"

Gao Huoyang waved his hand, issued an order to leave, and turned to attend to his own affairs.

"This Junior will take his leave."

Yang Lingchen cupped his hands, bowed respectfully, and then walked out of the Mission Hall with light steps.

"This kid is not simple! With only a cultivation level of the second layer of the Void Spirit Realm, he actually took on a bunch of missions for the eighth layer of the Void Spirit Realm. If nurtured well, perhaps he could secure a good ranking for my Wentian Palace in the next Sect Grand Competition."

Watching Yang Lingchen's retreating back, Gao Huoyang murmured, a flash of expectation in his eyes.

Not long after Yang Lingchen walked out of the Mission Hall, three people approached him, two of whom were Chen Xinyue and Chen Haonan.

Behind them followed a young man with cold eyes and steady Aura.

"Little Bastard! Let's see where you can run today?"

Chen Xinyue looked at Yang Lingchen with venomous eyes, her teeth gritting in a way that seemed as if she wanted to devour him alive.

"Your mouth is swollen like that, could it be that you did something unspeakable?"

A mocking smile curled the corners of Yang Lingchen's mouth, his eyes full of playfulness.

"Damn, this guy's mouth is too vicious!" An Outer Sect Disciple watching the commotion couldn't help but say.

"Indeed, this kid's mouth is vicious enough, but Chen Xinyue's mouth does seem a bit swollen! Could it be that she really...!"

Another Outer Sect Disciple whispered, a meaningful smile on his Face.

As Yang Lingchen's words fell, many people watching the commotion burst into laughter.

It was mainly because Chen Xinyue's lips were indeed slightly swollen at this moment, and added to Yang Lingchen's words, everyone couldn't help but let their imaginations run wild.

Hearing the laughter from those around her, Chen Xinyue's Face turned pale with anger, and she snapped: "Er Gou, cripple him for This Young Lady."

"Yes, Young Miss Xinyue."

The young man with steady Aura known as Er Gou responded, then stepped out, looking coldly at Yang Lingchen: "Kid, kneel! Slap yourself one thousand times, then cripple one of your own arms, and you can leave today."

"Holy crap, you're even better at acting tough than me."

A cold sneer curled Yang Lingchen's lips. Although the opponent's cultivation level had reached the ninth layer of the Void Spirit Realm, if he wanted to leave, the opponent really couldn't stop him.

"Kid, it seems you don't know what's good for you, then don't blame me for being impolite." The youth named Er Gou had a fierce light in his eyes.

He leaped, raised his leg, and delivered a sweep. The movement was as swift as thunder, and a sharp Aura immediately swept towards Yang Lingchen.

"Whoosh...!"

Just then, a terrifying wave of Qi shot over from a distance and struck Er Gou's leg in an instant.

"Bang...!"

"Crack...!"

"Ah... Ah... Ah...!"

Following a crisp sound of bone breaking, Er Gou let out a miserable howl, his entire body flew backward, and he fell heavily to the ground, rolling in pain.

At this moment, a woman with refined temperament and stunning beauty appeared in the center of the scene.

Her graceful figure was like a slender willow branch, gently floating in the air. Her skin was snow-white, clean as jade, and her perfect facial contours seemed like a masterpiece carved by nature, making anyone who looked at her intoxicated.

"Look, it's Senior Sister Li Hanyan."

"Damn, it really is Senior Sister Li Hanyan."

"What is that kid's relationship with her?"

"Who knows? But what is certain is that this kid definitely has an unusual relationship with Li Hanyan, otherwise Li Hanyan wouldn't have saved him."

For a moment, many people at the scene began to discuss, and countless people looked at Yang Lingchen with a hint of envy.

As for Chen Xinyue and Chen Haonan, the moment they saw Li Hanyan, their Faces turned instantly pale.

They knew well how formidable Li Hanyan was, so they quickly took the injured Chen Er Gou and slunk away from the scene.

After all, Li Hanyan was a top ten Genius Disciple in the Inner Sect, far from someone they could afford to offend.

Even Liang Kun, who was behind Chen Xinyue, would have to call her Senior Sister Li upon seeing her.

"Young Miss."

Yang Lingchen was also stunned on the spot; he hadn't expected the one to save him to be Li Hanyan.

"Hmm... Hmm, I didn't expect that in just a few months, you would have already reached the second layer of the Void Spirit Realm."

A rare faint smile appeared on Li Hanyan's Face, a smile like a spring breeze brushing against one's Face, making one feel incomparably warm.

"It was just a fluke Breakthrough. I must thank Young Miss for your help just now."

Yang Lingchen cupped his hands and thanked her, his heart full of gratitude for Li Hanyan's appearance.

"No need for courtesy. You are someone I, Li Hanyan, brought here, so naturally I must look after you. This is my sound transmission jade. If anything happens, you can use it to Sound Transmission to me. If I can help, I naturally will."

After Li Hanyan finished speaking, she handed her sound transmission jade to Yang Lingchen. The jade emitted a faint light, clearly not an ordinary object.

"Thank you, Young Miss."

Yang Lingchen gladly accepted the goodwill released by Li Hanyan; after all, more friends mean more paths, not to mention such a powerful friend.

"There's no need to be polite with me. You are someone from my Li family. In this Wentian Palace, we should support each other." Li Hanyan said, her tone full of sincerity.

"Young Miss is right. If there is anything you need from me, Young Miss, just say the word." Yang Lingchen nodded and said, his eyes revealing determination.

"Stop calling me Young Miss, Young Miss; it sounds distant. From now on, you can call me Senior Sister Hanyan!" Li Hanyan said, her voice crisp and pleasant, like a clear spring flowing in the mountains.

"Yes, Senior Sister Hanyan." Yang Lingchen nodded.

He could tell that Li Hanyan was very smart and a woman with a lot of schemes.

Because before this, Li Hanyan had never looked at him properly. Now that he had revealed his talent, she was suddenly so good to him, which made it hard for him to adapt for a moment.

However, whether Li Hanyan had schemes or not, Yang Lingchen couldn't be bothered to care, as long as she didn't scheme against him.

The two chatted for a while longer before Yang Lingchen bid farewell to Li Hanyan and headed towards the Wentian Mountain Range.

"Young Miss, this guy doesn't have anything special! Why are you so good to him?" Li Ling asked curiously, her big eyes blinking, full of confusion.

Since she was little, she had never seen Li Hanyan smile at others, let alone give someone her sound transmission jade.

"Because he is a Genius, and not an ordinary Genius."

Li Hanyan's tone was very calm, her gaze looking in the direction where Yang Lingchen left, thoughtful.

She could tell that Yang Lingchen's talent was extraordinary. Forming a good relationship with such a Genius now might bring her many benefits in the future.

... Shengyang Peak.

"What happened? Who beat Er Gou into such a state?"

Liang Kun shouted coldly, his Face terrifyingly gloomy, and anger flashing in his eyes.

"brother kun, it... it... it was Li Hanyan who did it."

Chen Xinyue said with her head lowered, her voice trembling slightly.

"Li Hanyan?" Liang Kun frowned, then asked: "Why did she hit Er Gou?"

"At that time, Er Gou was preparing to deal with Yang Lingchen, when Li Hanyan suddenly appeared, and then Er Gou was beaten like this by her." Chen Xinyue said, carefully observing Liang Kun's expression.

"What is that kid's relationship with Li Hanyan?" Liang Kun asked curiously, secretly pondering the reason behind it in his heart.

"I just had someone check. Yang Lingchen was brought here by Li Hanyan. It is said he was a servant in her family, later became a Utility Disciple at Xuanbing Peak, and only recently promoted to an Outer Sect Disciple."

Chen Xinyue told everything about Yang Lingchen in detail.

"You had better not provoke this kid again. If you anger Li Hanyan, This Young Master won't be able to save you either." Liang Kun said in a deep voice, weighing the pros and cons in his heart.

"brother kun, are we just going to let him beat us for nothing?" Chen Xinyue's eyes showed a trace of unwillingness, she bit her lip, her heart full of resentment.

"You don't need to worry about this matter. What we need to do is borrow a knife to kill."

A cold sneer appeared in Liang Kun's eyes, a smile that made people shudder. He continued: "That kid is so close to Li Hanyan. If we spread the news with some added embellishments, do you think Xu Shaotang will let him off?"

"This method is good, brother kun is still the smart one." Chen Xinyue said in a coquettish voice, her Face immediately revealing a fawning smile.

"You little vixen." Hearing Chen Xinyue's coquettish voice, Liang Kun immediately felt the fire in his body ignite and pulled Chen Xinyue into his arms.
