11: Chapter 11 A gentle press, and the master saves the day with tears in his eyes!

"Rebellious Disciple! Stop!"

A surge of shame and fury echoed deep within Cao Kun's Soul.

However, Cao Kun not only didn't stop, but instead increased the flow of his spiritual power.

"Ah..."

An uncontrollable, soft moan escaped her lips.

A few teardrops slid from the corners of her eyes.

Yet, the desperate cries for help from outside continued to reach her ears, clearly telling her:

If she didn't go out now, that Rebellious Disciple would undoubtedly do something even more insane.

The next second.

The terrifying pressure of a Late Golden Core Stage great Cultivator erupted from the direction of the main hall of Lianxiang Peak, enveloping the entire mountain!

In mid-air,

the dozen or so Inner Sect Disciples who were just about to deliver a fatal blow to Cao Kun were struck as if by lightning, their faces turning deathly pale.

The light from the Magic Treasures in their hands dimmed, and the circulation of spiritual power within their bodies became extremely sluggish.

Everyone looked in horror towards the main hall, their hearts pounding wildly.

This pressure... it's Revered Master!

It's Elder Yu!

Under the terrified gazes of everyone, a breathtakingly beautiful purple figure stepped through the air, approaching.

She wore luxurious purple palace attire, her raven-black hair cascading like a waterfall.

Her peerlessly beautiful face showed no trace of emotion, but those originally charming peach blossom eyes now contained a towering fury.

Merely being swept by that gaze made all the Disciples present, including Leng Qingyue, feel as if they couldn't breathe.

"Revered Master!"

"Greetings, Elder Yu!"

Leng Qingyue and the group of Inner Sect Disciples hurriedly retracted their Magical Artifacts, bowing respectfully in mid-air, not daring to raise their heads.

Lin Fan's heart, however, surged with wild joy!

An Elder has come personally!

This reckless Outer Sect trash is definitely dead!

Suppressing the discomfort from the pressure, he stepped forward before anyone else, speaking righteously to lodge a complaint: "I report to the Elder! This person..."

He had only uttered four words.

"Noisy."

Yu Linglong casually raised her jade-like hand and, aiming in Lin Fan's direction, delivered a palm strike through the air.

A terrifying wave of air, carrying an irresistible force, instantly descended upon Lin Fan!

"Pfft—"

Without even having time to scream, Lin Fan vanished from everyone's sight.

Immediately after,

with a loud "BOOM," a smoking, human-shaped crater appeared on the distant cliff face!

Holy crap ┌(.Д.)┐.

All the Inner Sect Disciples were scared witless, each one as silent as a cicada in winter.

No one had expected that upon her appearance, Elder Yu wouldn't deal with that Outer Sect lunatic first, but instead would slap away the complaining Senior Brother Lin!

This... what is going on?

Leng Qingyue was also profoundly shaken.

She raised her head, looking at her Revered Master with disbelief.

Completely unable to comprehend the intention behind her Revered Master's action.

Just as everyone was utterly bewildered by this unexpected turn of events, Yu Linglong's voice rang out again.

"He, is the newly appointed manager of the medicine garden by this Revered Master."

"All of you, disperse."

Boom!

These words carried even more impact than the previous palm strike.

Manager of the medicine garden?

Personally appointed by Revered Master?

How is that possible! An Outer Sect Disciple, what qualifications does he have?!

Everyone was completely dumbfounded, feeling their understanding challenged like never before.

Meanwhile, the instigator Cao Kun, the earlier look of grievance and fear on his face had long since vanished.

He rode his green snake sword, scurrying eagerly to Yu Linglong's side, tears and words flowing together.

"Revered Master! You finally came!"

"Your Disciple was almost beaten to death by them! You have no idea, that sword strike from Senior Sister Leng just now, it was this close, your Disciple's head was almost gone!"

As he spoke, he actually reached out.

He grabbed Yu Linglong's smooth, jade-like arm and even shook it vigorously a couple of times.

The intimate posture was like a wronged child acting spoiled towards a parent.

"Look, your Disciple's neck was even cut by the Sword Qi! Revered Master, you must seek justice for your Disciple!"

At this moment,

all the observing Disciples, including Leng Qingyue, felt their brains short-circuit.

He... what did he do?

He actually dared to grab Elder Yu's arm?!

Madness! This world has gone completely mad!

Everyone instinctively thought that the next second, this reckless fool would be smashed into a pulp just like Lin Fan.

However, the expected thunderous wrath did not occur.

Yu Linglong merely glanced at the hand gripping her arm.

The killing intent deep within her beautiful eyes almost solidified into substance.

But in the end, Yu Linglong did nothing.

Her arm remained, allowing Cao Kun to hold it.

Her person, allowing him to shake her.

She tacitly accepted this intimacy.

Leng Qingyue stared blankly at the absurd and bizarre scene before her.

An even more absurd, even more uncontrollable thought emerged from the depths of her heart.

This Outer Sect Disciple... no, this so-called manager, is he actually... flirting with Revered Master?!

Moreover, Revered Master isn't resisting!

Could it be... could it be he isn't some manager at all, but rather... a male concubine Revered Master is keeping outside?!

Once this thought took root, it grew like wild grass, impossible to suppress.

Only this explanation could account for everythingdisruptive happening before her eyes!

As for Cao Kun, he was currently reveling in the ghost-seeing stares from everyone, inwardly overjoyed.

The feeling of a fox assuming the majesty of a tiger was just this exhilarating!

Pushing his luck, he raised his other hand, pointing at the group of Inner Sect Disciples who had justSiege him, and continued his complaint.

"Revered Master, and them too! They tried to kill me without even asking for the facts, this matter can't just be dropped!"

[Ding! Host publicly declares ownership of the Jade Beast, greatly intimidating the riffraff. The Jade Beast is forced to cooperate, generating intense feelings of shame, anger, and submission!]

[Taming Value +3! Current Taming Value: 23/100]

[Reward Mission Points: 300!]

Heh, another three hundred points credited. Revered Master really is my personal ATM.

Cao Kun was inwardly delighted, but his face wore the expression of a victim.

Leng Qingyue could no longer endure this farcical spectacle.

She stepped forward, her cool, beautiful face filled with resolve.

"Revered Master!"

"This person rode a sword across Lianxiang Peak, showing no respect for his superiors, which is already a grave offense! Later, he spoke frivolously and flirted with me, adding another crime!"

"According to Sect rules, his cultivation should be crippled, and he should be expelled from the Sect! I implore Revered Master to investigate clearly and allow this Disciple to personally clean up our ranks!"

As soon as the words fell, Yu Linglong felt the hand on her arm give a light squeeze.

A faint, tingling sensation shot through the Soul contract, striking directly at her Divine Soul.

That was a warning!

Yu Linglong felt utterly humiliated.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she opened them again, all emotion had been concealed, leaving only boundless coldness.

"Since when does this Revered Master's actions require your instruction?"

Hearing this, Leng Qingyue's eyes immediately reddened.

Revered Master actually scolded her for the sake of a male concubine!

Yu Linglong paid no more attention to Leng Qingyue.

Instead, she looked at the dozen or so Inner Sect Disciples, her voice brooking no argument.

"All those who attacked Manager Cao, go to the Reflection Cliff and face the wall for one month!"

"As for Leng Qingyue..."

She paused, her tone complex.

"...come with this Revered Master back to the hall."

Finally, she looked at Cao Kun beside her, who was still holding onto her, and forced a few words through gritted teeth.

"Manager Cao, you come too."

Having said that, she no longer glanced at anyone, forcibly breaking free from Cao Kun's grip.

She flew straight back to the main hall.

"Right away, Revered Master!"

Cao Kun responded smugly.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to give a cheeky grin to the already dumbfounded Leng Qingyue and the other Disciples.

"Little Junior Sister, from now on we're family. I'll be counting on your guidance."

Then, riding his Flying Sword, he followed at a leisurely pace.

Mid-air, only a group of utterly bewildered Inner Sect Disciples were left behind.

They looked at each other.

The scene that had just shattered their worldview kept replaying in their minds, leaving them unable to calm down for a long time.

The sky over Lianxiang Peak seemed to have darkened.

Yu Linglong
