100: Kill the butler and prepare to move

Not long after, he returned to the entrance of his courtyard. Just as he was about to enter, he suddenly heard an arrogant male voice from inside.

"Elder Gu, you have Cultivated in the Sect for many years; you should know that there is a rule in the Outer Sect that strictly prohibits non-Sect Disciple from entering residences. What's going on with these two girls now? Can you explain it to me?"

A yellow-robed old man sat on a stone chair, his legs crossed, his gaze constantly sweeping between Ye Linger and Deng Fuxi's bodies, filled with greed.

He was the supervisor of the residential area, holding considerable power in the Outer Sect. Every now and then, he would go house to house to count the residents in the courtyards. When he checked Gu Shuqin's residence, he unexpectedly discovered three beautiful maidens, making anyone who saw them feel a possessive urge.

Since Miao Yizi was an Outer Sect Disciple, he couldn't say much, so he could only target the other two girls for questioning.

"These two young maidens are truly exquisite. To find such beauties in the Outer Sect, and for them to be staying in this widow's courtyard, it's simply a waste of heavenly resources."

The old man sighed inwardly, recalling the dozen or so women he kept; they were nothing compared to these two maidens.

"Once I secure these two beauties, I'll kick out all those vulgar women."

Just as he had this thought, he heard Mei Fu say, "Supervisor Yu, you said they violated the rules, but aren't there any violations among the women in your own courtyard?"

Hearing this, the old man's expression turned cold: "Presumptuous! I am the supervisor of this area and have the right to accommodate outsiders. What are you, a mere Elder? How dare you question my actions?"

Gu Shuqin sneered, "My Disciple achieved Four Tiger Strength in the Inner Sect Assessment and was even accepted as a Personal Disciple by the Sect Master. What do you say I am?"

As Lin Yuan's women, they naturally rushed to the scene to watch the assessment.

However, not all Outer Sect Disciple were aware of this matter. The old man had clearly not received the news yet and burst into laughter: "Hahahahaha! Gu Shuqin, have you gone mad with grief since your husband died? I know your Disciple was first in the Outer Sect Competition, but he's only at the Opening Meridian Third Level. How could he participate in the Inner Sect Assessment? And a Sect Master's Disciple? Why don't you just say he's the next Sect Master?"

"Who the next Sect Master will be is uncertain, but you, Supervisor, can step down now."

A young man's voice sounded from outside the door, and a flash of sword light followed.

"Clang!"

The old man's eyes widened, a line of blood appeared at his throat, and his body fell backward, his head separating from his corpse in an instant.

Supervisor Yu, who had been arrogant for many years, finally met his demise today.

Seeing this, the four women in the courtyard changed their expressions and turned to look at the man at the doorway, immediately rushing towards him.

"Husband!"

"Brother!"

"Senior Brother!"

"Lin Yuan!"

Several delicate figures rushed forward. Lin Yuan naturally couldn't embrace them all, so he could only respond to each one individually, comforting their emotions.

"Alright, my darlings, it's only been a day since we last met. Is there a need to be so excited?"

"Isn't it because we missed Senior Brother so much?"

Miao Yizi took the man's arm, her pretty face as bright as a flower: "We saw your assessment results! It was incredibly impressive. You truly are my Senior Brother! You're the best man in the world!"

Gu Shuqin also said, "Lin Yuan, your achievement is astonishing. To unleash Four Tiger Strength at the Opening Meridian Realm, there are probably few in the Sect's history who can compare to you."

Lin Yuan smiled slightly: "The Inner Sect Assessment is merely the starting point of Cultivation. There's nothing to boast about. Even if the results are good now, future achievements are not guaranteed."

Miao Yizi hummed, "Senior Brother is too modest. With such extraordinary Aptitude, you'll at least be a Purple Mansion Realm mighty figure in the future. For us to entrust ourselves to you is truly a blessing accumulated over several lifetimes of Cultivation."

Purple Mansion Realm!

Upon hearing this, Ye Linger and Deng Fuxi's small faces were filled with surprise!

Originally, they hadn't felt much about this achievement, only thinking it was excellent, but hearing Miao Yizi say it like that, the two maidens' hearts couldn't help but tremble.

Such powerful figures were simply unimaginable existences in their eyes.

And for their husband to possess such Aptitude truly made them marvel!

"Junior Sister, you flatter me. The future is still unknown; let's focus on the present first."

With that, Lin Yuan looked at the old man's corpse, his tone turning cold: "This old fellow has been bullying men and women and committing all sorts of evil deeds in the Outer Sect. Now, he has finally paid the price for his actions."

He still remembered when he was a Utility Disciple; many of his colleagues had suffered at the hands of that person, leaving him with a terrible impression.

Later, when he was promoted to Outer Sect Disciple, he gradually forgot about this character. He never expected this guy to dare come to his door and covet his women, which conveniently gave him a reason to act.

Following the man's gaze, Ye Linger couldn't help but worry, "This person's status in the Outer Sect shouldn't be low. Brother, you just killed him like that; won't you be punished by the Sect?"

Lin Yuan stroked the maiden's head and said softly, "Don't worry, it's just a mere supervisor Elder. Not to mention killing one, even if I killed ten, the Sect wouldn't say anything."

Ye Linger immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

Miao Yizi chuckled, "Junior Sister Ye Linger thinks too little of Senior Brother. With his status as the Sect Master's Personal Disciple, he doesn't need to put anyone in the Outer Sect in his eyes."

Lin Yuan chuckled softly, "This person dared to harbor greedy thoughts towards you all, which is a crime punishable by death. We don't need to discuss him anymore. Now, let's go to the Inner Sect together."

Inner Sect!

All the women's eyes lit up!

The three younger maidens might not have felt much about this, but Gu Shuqin was quite excited.

Because as a Disciple for many years, she understood that the Inner Sect and Outer Sect were completely different worlds.

Only by entering the Inner Sect could one be considered a true Cloud Ripple Sect Disciple!

That was the goal pursued by all Outer Sect Disciple!

It was also the place she yearned for!

She had originally thought she would never have the chance to enter the Inner Sect in this lifetime, but to be able to move today felt just like a dream.

Seeing Mei Fu's dazed expression, Lin Yuan asked curiously, "What's wrong, Godmother?"

"Nothing, I just can't help but sigh. My Lin Yuan has grown up; he no longer needs his Godmother to protect him."

Gu Shuqin sighed, gazing at the man's face. Scenes from the past two years flashed through her mind. The fledgling chick, once Crying for food under her protection, had unknowingly grown stronger and stronger, now capable of leaving its mother's embrace and soaring freely into the sky.

Lin Yuan smiled, his lips curving: "Even if Disciple grows up, he will always be your Lin Yuan, always filial to you, repaying your care for me with the rest of my life."

These words warmed Mei Fu's heart, but in front of the three maidens, she still feigned reserve and said, "Alright, you sly little fellow, there's no need for such sentimental words. Now, let's pack up the things at home and then go to the Inner Sect together."

"Okay, Godmother."

Under Gu Shuqin's command, the group in the courtyard began to move.
