88: Chapter 88 Qin Miaoyi's Shyness

The Lin family Grand Elder, Lin Xingchang, arrived at the scene.

When he saw Lin Changxuan and Lin Yimeng covered in wounds, their auras weak and their situations critical, his eyes widened.

Especially when he sensed that Ji Taichang was only at the first level of the Nascent Soul Stage, waves of shock surged in his heart!

"Cease your insolence!"

Without time to think, he immediately let out a roar. The terrifying pressure of the sixth level of the Nascent Soul Stage erupted, forcing Ji Taichang and Steward Wang back.

Lin Changxuan and Lin Yimeng finally got a chance to breathe and immediately retreated behind Lin Xingchang, their eyes filled with shock and a hint of fear!

Had Lin Xingchang arrived any later, the two of them might have perished there!

"Second Uncle, kill this bastard quickly!"

"He killed Mobai!!"

Lin Changxuan's eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Ji Taichang and let out a roar.

Hearing this, Lin Xingchang's gaze turned a few degrees colder.

But he didn't strike. Instead, he looked at Steward Wang beside Ji Taichang and frowned. "Fellow Daoist Wang of the Lanzhou Princes Mansion, why are you helping him harm the children of my Lin family?!"

"Could it be that the Lanzhou Princes Mansion intends to become an enemy of my Lin family?"

Steward Wang yawned, completely unfazed by Lin Xingchang's pressure. He said indifferently, "Fellow Daoist Ji is a distinguished guest of our Lanzhou Princes Mansion and has done us a great service. No matter what happens, our Lanzhou Princes Mansion will provide some support!"

"This is also the Prince's intention!"

"Indeed."

As Steward Wang's voice fell, Qin Miaoyi also stepped forward with the other Cultivators from the mansion, accompanied by Lin Xueyue and Yang Yao!

"The County Princess of the Lanzhou Princes Mansion?"

"And... her?!"

Lin Xingchang's pupils shrank. His gaze moved past Qin Miaoyi and fixed on Lin Xueyue!

"I see... You're standing up for her?"

Thoughts flashed through Lin Xingchang's mind, and he instantly understood what had happened!

"Second Uncle..."

Lin Changxuan wanted to say more, but he was ruthlessly interrupted by Lin Xingchang.

Lin Xingchang gave Lin Xueyue and Ji Taichang a deep look and said in a heavy voice, "Since you want to be enemies with the Lin family, let's see who has the last laugh!"

"Lin Xueyue, don't think that just because you've latched onto a Nascent Soul Stage expert, you can overturn the Lin family. You're still not qualified!!"

With that.

Lin Xingchang flicked his sleeve and left with the heavily injured Lin Changxuan and Lin Yimeng.

"Hiss—The Lin family actually left?"

"The Lin family dispatched three Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses, only to end up fleeing in disgrace. I haven't seen the Lin family suffer such a big loss in years!"

"Not quite. If the Lin family's Grand Elder had made a Move, that mysterious Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse would definitely be no match. The Lin family is wary of the Lanzhou Princes Mansion..."

"However, the Lanzhou Princes Mansion can help for a moment, but not for a lifetime. There will definitely be another battle between the two sides!"

"Although the Lanzhou Princes Mansion is strong, the Lin family also has many connections. I heard that in the current Emperor's harem, several Concubines are from the Lin family..."

"Tsk tsk, there's a good show to watch in the future!"

"This trip wasn't in vain!"

The Cultivators watching from a distance marveled, their faces filled with excitement as they discussed the events.

Ji Taichang bowed to Steward Wang and Qin Miaoyi. "Thank you, Her Highness the County Princess and Fellow Daoist, for your assistance."

Qin Miaoyi smiled slightly. "Senior, you are too polite. You helped the mansion so much before; it's only right that we lend you a hand."

After some polite conversation.

Qin Miaoyi hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but ask Ji Taichang via voice transmission, "If I may ask, Senior... are you Yang Dingtian's father?"

"?"

Ji Taichang's expression turned strange as he replied via voice transmission, "Why does Your Highness ask?"

Qin Miaoyi said, "I just feel that you and Yang Dingtian are vaguely similar..."

Hearing this, Ji Taichang's expression became even stranger.

His current appearance, physique, and temperament were completely different from his Yang Dingtian persona. How could this girl still find them similar??

Wait, did you just dox me??

Ji Taichang shook his head slightly and said, "He is my Disciple, so perhaps our Cultivation Technique and Move might be somewhat similar."

"Oh, I see..."

Qin Miaoyi suddenly understood, and Yang Dingtian's slightly roguish face unconsciously surfaced in her mind.

"For such a grand event as the Alchemy Assembly, why didn't Senior bring Yang Dingtian along..."

Qin Miaoyi asked by some strange impulse.

Before she could finish, she felt a bit of regret, and her pretty face heated up.

Whether Ji Taichang brought Yang Dingtian out was their private matter. Why was she, an outsider, asking about it?

Seeing Qin Miaoyi's slightly shy appearance, Ji Taichang's expression became even stranger, and he couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

This girl...

Could she have fallen for my Yang Dingtian persona?

If that were true...

That would be a good thing!

If he could win over Qin Miaoyi, he could firmly bind the Lanzhou Princes Mansion to his side, gaining a powerful ally!

At this thought, Ji Taichang cleared his throat and replied, "He is in secluded Cultivation and should be coming out soon. Speaking of which, my precious Disciple has been mentioning Her Highness the County Princess quite often lately, saying you are as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal and kind-hearted, making him unable to forget you..."

"Ah... what?"

"Did Young Master Yang... Yang Dingtian really say that?"

Hearing this, Qin Miaoyi's eyes widened, and her heart rate quickened for some reason, as if a Kunkun were running wild in her heart.

"Absolutely true."

Ji Taichang had a smile on his face. "In my opinion, that boy might have fallen in love with Her Highness the County Princess at first sight..."

"Ah... please stop teasing me."

Qin Miaoyi's heart beat even faster, and a flush appeared on her face.

This shy look made Ji Taichang even more certain that Qin Miaoyi had fallen for "Yang Dingtian," or at least had feelings for him!

It made sense.

Qin Miaoyi was young and in the prime of her youth. She had close contact with "Yang Dingtian" in the Cangshan Secret Realm, and given Yang Dingtian's extraordinary strength, it was normal for her to have feelings.

Next.

Everyone chatted as they began to return to the Royal Capital.

During this time, many Cultivators plucked up the courage to come over and greet Ji Taichang, trying to make friends with this mysterious Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse.

But these were only a few. Most Cultivators were filled with awe and didn't dare to openly associate with him.

Because Ji Taichang had offended the Lin family!

There would surely be another battle between the two sides. For now, it seemed the Lin family had a better chance of winning, as they were a colossus that had occupied the Great Wu Dynasty for ten thousand years!

After returning to the guest building of the Star-Plucking Platform, Ji Taichang soon went back to his room to rest.

A moment later.

Ji Taichang's door was quietly pushed open. A curvaceous and jade-like figure sneaked in like a thief, closed the door, and with practiced ease slipped into the covers, throwing herself into Ji Taichang's arms.
