36: Farewell to the two girls, met Song Mian on the road

Lin Yuan replied, "Mm, it's been three years since I came to Cloud Ripple Sect and haven't returned home. My parents must miss me a lot. It's time to go back and see them."

When he said parents, he actually meant his adoptive parents, but the two elders treated him very well, so he also regarded them as his biological parents.

"A wanderer who has been away for a long time always has to return home. Three years is a long time for Mortals. You should indeed go back and see them, and convey my regards to the two elders."

Gu Shuqin expressed her agreement.

Lin Yuan nodded, "Mm, I will tell them. I am who I am today all thanks to the care of Revered Master and Junior Martial Uncle."

Gu Shuqin smiled and shook her head, "We are only Assistance. The main thing is still up to you."

"Junior Martial Uncle is too modest. If you hadn't taken me as your Disciple a year ago, perhaps I wouldn't be where I am today."

"That's true, this can be considered Opportunity."

"Senior Brother, I want to go back with you too, can I?"

Miao Yizi opened her lips eagerly.

Lin Yuan poked her forehead, "Why are you going? Do you want to see my parents?"

"It's not impossible."

"Nonsense. If I take you back now, my parents will definitely want you to give them a big fat son."

"Ah? We are Cultivators. We can live for many years. Do we need to be in such a hurry?"

"You and I are Cultivators, but they are not, so of course they will be anxious, especially since I'm already an adult."

"Oh, oh, that's true."

Miao Yizi pondered for a moment, then suddenly said solemnly, "If it's Senior Brother, Yi Zi is willing to bear your children."

Hearing this, a strange look flashed in Gu Shuqin's eyes, and she immediately said, "Stop messing around, you girl. Lin Yuan is going home to visit relatives. Why are you getting involved? You don't even know his parents. Going there would just cause trouble."

Miao Yizi pouted her small lips and complained, "I just want to spend more time with Senior Brother."

Lin Yuan comforted her, "There will be plenty of opportunities to spend time together later. There's no need to be confined to this moment, and I'll probably only be back for half a month. I'll be back soon."

Hearing that he would only be gone for half a month, both women secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Gu Shuqin feigned concern on the surface, "Will half a month be too short? It's fine to stay at home a bit longer."

Lin Yuan smiled, "That's my home, and this is also my home. Not only do I want to spend time with my parents, but of course, I also want to spend more time with you all."

Mei Fu's heart warmed, and she said softly, "Mm, go early and return early. Be careful on the way."

"Senior Brother, Junior Sister will wait for you here!"

The three exchanged a few more pleasantries, then the two women personally saw the man off to the Sect entrance. Finally, under their reluctant gazes, Lin Yuan mounted a swift steed and galloped away to the sound of hooves.

...

In the vast jungle, Lin Yuan was riding his horse when he suddenly heard a "whoosh" sound. A cold light arrived swiftly, striking directly at the black-maned horse beneath him.

"Ow!"

The horse let out a painful roar and collapsed to the ground from inertia.

Lin Yuan reacted quickly, leaping up before the cold light arrived and landing steadily on a thick tree branch.

Looking down, he saw a silver arrow stuck in the horse's abdomen. A terrifying power emanated from the arrow, destroying the black horse's vitality.

"This is a Startling Wind Arrow, a ten-pattern Spiritual Artifact. The arrow contains Origin Qi. Your horse has no chance of survival."

A human voice came from not far away. Lin Yuan looked sideways and saw a middle-aged man in black, holding a long bow, standing on a tree, staring at him with a greedy expression.

"Song Mian!"

Lin Yuan recognized the other party and frowned, "Why did you attack me?"

The man no longer pretended and said directly, "Of course, I came for what's on you."

He had waited bitterly in the Outer Sect for half a month, constantly looking for an Opportunity, but Lin Yuan never left his courtyard, Cultivating there every day, not even going to the training room.

Therefore, he even suspected that the other party had an affair with Gu Shuqin, otherwise why would they stay together all day and not come out?

But none of that mattered anymore. He had finally found an Opportunity, and the Opportunity on the other party would soon be his!

Perceiving the man's eager emotions, Lin Yuan already understood Song Mian's intention.

It must be because of the meteor that night, which made the other party think he had obtained an Opportunity, leading to such a great improvement.

"Sister Shuang, what should I do? Can you deal with this person?"

Lin Yuan could only seek help from Ao Ling霜 now.

Song Mian possessed the strength of Condensing Core Realm fifth stage, which was by no means comparable to Liu Yuyan's temporarily enhanced Condensing Core Realm cultivation.

Therefore, even if he fully activated his Nine Yang Divine Meridian, he would definitely not be this person's opponent.

"Don't panic. I can use Mental Energy to help you fight the enemy."

"Can you defeat him?"

"Of course. Although I'm severely injured, my Mental Energy is still strong enough to defeat a Qi Gathering Realm Cultivator. He, a mere Condensing Core Realm Cultivator, dares to ambush me. He's simply courting death."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan's heart settled, and he smiled, "Junior Martial Uncle Song, what is this thing you're talking about? This Disciple doesn't understand."

Song Mian sneered, "Are you still playing dumb now? Do you think I've forgotten about that night?"

"What night? Are you referring to the meteor?"

"Yes! That meteor! You must have obtained a treasure from it that night!"

"Junior Martial Uncle Song is joking. I'm just a weak Opening Meridian Realm Disciple. Even if I did get a treasure, I definitely wouldn't be able to use it."

Mentioning Opening Meridian, Song Mian's face suddenly changed, "That's right, weren't you Body Tempering fifth stage before, kid? How did you Breakthrough to Opening Meridian in just a few days? You must have gotten some precious medicine, right? Confess quickly!"

Facing the aggressive man, Lin Yuan remained calm and said, "Does Junior Martial Uncle really want to know?"

Song Mian's eyes lit up, "Are you admitting that you obtained an Opportunity?"

"That's right, I did obtain a little something."

"What is it!?"

"Before I answer that question, Junior Martial Uncle, tell me the true cause of my Revered Master's death."

Lin Yuan's eyes were sharp as he stared directly at the other party.

Hearing this, Song Mian pondered for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Hahahaha! Since you insist on knowing, then I'll tell you, Qin Ren was killed by me!"

Indeed!

The smile on Lin Yuan's face vanished, and his expression turned cold as he said, "Why did you kill my Revered Master? What wrong did he commit? Or did he do something to offend you?"

"Heh heh, his contribution points being ahead of mine was his biggest mistake."

"You killed someone just for that?"

"What? Is that reason not enough?"

"Ridiculous! My Revered Master was humble, benevolent, and righteous, treating everyone with kindness. He even regarded you as a close old friend, always ready to help, yet you laid hands on him for such a small benefit. You are truly not human!"

"Hahahaha!"

Song Mian laughed again, "What do you know, kid? What's the use of benevolence? What's the use of morality? In this world, only interests are eternal. With Qin Ren's foolish personality, even if I didn't kill him now, he would eventually be killed by others later, so I suppose I helped him find an early release."

"Absurd! So, my Revered Master should thank you?"

"That's natural. Not only him, but you too. If you hadn't met me today, what's on you would surely be taken by others. Why not obediently hand it over? From now on, Junior Martial Uncle will protect your safety."

"Clang!"

Lin Yuan finally couldn't tolerate this beast in human skin. He drew his sword, leaped up, and transmitted his voice, "Sister Shuang, please lend me a hand!"
