Injured Sikong Yang? Su Qinghan: Master, we can't deceive our junior brother!

"Senior Brother, after that guy finishes slapping himself three thousand times, are we really going to let him stay in the Outer Sect?"

Wang Chen had already caught up with Lin Mo, and he couldn't help but ask the doubt in his heart.

"Of course, why not?"

"I always keep my promises."

Lin Mo's steps didn't stop.

He answered straightforwardly.

"Alright, since it's Senior Brother's wish, I'll do as you say."

Wang Chen nodded in response.

In his opinion, someone like Zhang Han wasn't worthy of being a Disciple of Qingxuan Sect at all.

But since Lin Mo had already spoken, he naturally couldn't object further.

"However, although I said I could let him become an Outer Sect Disciple..."

Lin Mo's tone shifted.

"But that doesn't mean I'll let him off so easily."

"Junior Brother, you seem to have a lot of influence in the Outer Sect. Can you do me a favor?"

Upon hearing that Lin Mo needed his help, Wang Chen immediately stopped, cupped his hands solemnly.

"Senior Brother, just say it!"

"As long as I can do it, I won't refuse."

"It's nothing difficult."

Lin Mo leaned closer to Wang Chen and whispered a few words.

As Wang Chen listened, the expression on his face gradually changed from serious to strange, finally settling into an understanding look.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother, leave this matter to me."

He straightened up again and promised.

"I'll make sure Zhang Han experiences the 'care' of an Outer Sect Senior Brother!"

"Mhm, then thank you, Junior Brother. I'll treat you to tea another day."

"I still have some things to attend to now, so I won't chat much longer."

"Alright, Senior Brother, you go ahead and be busy. I'll head back too."

With that, Wang Chen turned around and returned towards the Menial Labor Courtyard plaza.

Watching Wang Chen's retreating figure, and hearing the faint screams carried on the wind.

A smile once again appeared on Lin Mo's face.

Spare Zhang Han?

Haha, how could that be!

Did they really think he, Lin Mo, was some great benevolent person who repaid evil with kindness?

To be fair, if it were just some harmless squabbles between them, with his current status, he truly wouldn't bother to fuss over it.

But that Zhang Han, he had been aiming to kill him from the very beginning!

If he hadn't awakened the System at the crucial moment, if Li Fan hadn't given him a Medicinal Pill.

Then today, it might really have been his death anniversary.

Hoping Zhang Han would let him go once he gained power?

From the other party's performance today, it was clear that was absolutely impossible.

Similarly, Lin Mo would not let Zhang Han off either.

His attitude towards any existence that threatened his life had always been zero tolerance.

As for why he didn't directly have Wang Chen cripple and expel Zhang Han, then find an opportunity to completely resolve the matter.

That was naturally because he didn't want Zhang Han to die so easily.

After all, death was also a form of release.

He wanted Zhang Han to first see hope, to make him believe that he had persevered with tenacious willpower, successfully entered the Outer Sect, and had a bright future.

Then, little by little, completely crush that hope.

He wanted Zhang Han to experience the despair of falling from Heaven into Hell, then climbing back to Heaven, only to be kicked into an endless abyss.

"Tsk, it's just a mere Zhang Han. He's no longer worthy of my attention."

Lin Mo shook his head, instantly clearing this matter from his mind.

The huge change in status had fundamentally altered his way of thinking.

In the past, Zhang Han was a threat he needed to guard against cautiously.

But now, he didn't even need to act personally; Wang Chen, the number one genius of the outer sect, would actively do it for him.

Such insignificant small fry were no longer worth him wasting any more mental effort.

For him, how to become stronger as quickly as possible was the most important thing he should be thinking about right now.

Lin Mo took a step, no longer lingering, and walked straight towards the Sect Master Hall at the top of the mountain.

Dealing with Zhang Han was just a detour.

His true purpose today was to find his nominal Revered Master, Sikong Yang.

The various extraordinary treatments the other party had given him earlier had kept him suspicious.

He planned to ask him directly and clearly, to find out what exactly the other party was planning.

He didn't want to be caught in someone's scheme without knowing anything.

Soon, Lin Mo arrived at the top of the mountain, where the magnificent Sect Master Hall stood before him.

He tidied his robes, walked to the hall door, and gently knocked.

"Disciple Lin Mo, requests to see Revered Master."

"Is... is that Junior Brother?"

"Come in quickly."

The response from inside the hall was not Sikong Yang's voice, but Su Qinghan's.

Lin Mo paused slightly, didn't think much, pushed open the heavy hall door, and stepped directly inside.

Then, the scene inside the hall made him completely stunned.

He saw Sikong Yang, with a pale, bloodless face, sitting cross-legged on a nearby cushion, his aura weak.

And his Senior Sister Su Qinghan was anxiously guarding him, her face full of worry.

Lin Mo was stunned; this scene was truly unexpected.

What happened to his nominal Revered Master?

Why did he look so severely injured? Was he hurt?

"Senior Sister, Revered Master is...?"

Lin Mo quickly walked to Su Qinghan's side and asked in a low voice.

However, before Su Qinghan could answer, Sikong Yang, who had his eyes closed, opened them.

"Cough cough, it's nothing serious, just some minor ailments acting up."

Sikong Yang's voice was very weak, but he spoke casually, which made Lin Mo's expression towards him a bit strange.

Minor ailments?

Your old face is as pale as a dead person, and you're still being stubborn?

What exactly is going on?

What situation could make a Golden Core True Person suddenly look like this?

That's right, in Lin Mo's understanding, Sikong Yang, as the Sect Master of Qingxuan Sect, should be a Golden Core Realm Immortal Master.

Simply because the Sect Masters of several nearby Sects of similar scale to Qingxuan Sect were all Golden Core Realm powerhouses.

By extension, Sikong Yang naturally couldn't be an exception.

However, what Lin Mo didn't expect was that Sikong Yang truly was that exception.

"Revered Master, are... are you alright?"

"Haner is useless, she can't help Revered Master at all..."

Looking at Sikong Yang's extremely poor complexion, Su Qinghan beside him was heartbroken.

Tears welled in her eyes, and her face was filled with guilt.

In her opinion, if her Alchemy skills were more advanced, if she could refine higher-grade Medicinal Pills, perhaps she could alleviate Sikong Yang's old hidden injuries that had accumulated over the years.

It was just a pity that she couldn't do it.

At her current level, refining fourth-grade Medicinal Pills was her limit.

"Hmph, don't worry, I'm fine, really nothing."

"Alright, Haner, don't be like this. Your Junior Brother is still here."

Sikong Yang forced himself to support his body and managed to squeeze out a smile at Su Qinghan.

Watching this scene of a kind Revered Master and filial Disciple, Lin Mo suddenly asked.

"Revered Master, are you and Senior Sister... hiding something from me?"

As his words fell, Sikong Yang's body visibly stiffened, and for a moment, he didn't know how to answer.

Seeing this reaction, Lin Mo became even more certain that Sikong Yang was indeed hiding something from him.

It's just that the kindness the other party showed him wasn't false, so what exactly was he plotting against him?

Just as Sikong Yang fell silent, Su Qinghan spoke first.

"Revered Master, don't keep it from Junior Brother anymore."

"This is not fair to him."

"You shouldn't deceive him because of me."

Seeing that her Revered Master found it difficult to speak, Su Qinghan didn't hesitate much.

"Sigh... I didn't intend to keep it from him forever."

Sikong Yang sighed deeply, his expression complex.

"It's just... I wanted to wait until his Realm was higher before discussing this matter with him."

"That way, perhaps he would find it easier to accept..."

"Well, this is ultimately my own selfish desire."

"It really shouldn't be hidden from your Junior Brother."

Listening to their words, Lin Mo's heart tightened slightly.

Goodness, he knew that pie wouldn't just fall from the sky for free.

There really was a trap waiting for him to jump into!

Good thing he was cautious, otherwise, he really would have been played!
