85: Scare off the deacon and reunite with the master's wife

Gu Shuqin saw her long-desired lover return and was about to greet him joyfully, but she didn't expect him to confess directly. For a moment, she panicked and said, "Lin Yuan, what are you saying? That Deacon Huang is a Qi Gathering Realm expert. What does his death have to do with you?"

Lin Yuan gave her a reassuring look, then looked at the middle-aged man and said, "I killed him. How do you plan to deal with me?"

"Hahahaha! Good boy! You're not afraid of death, but this Deacon isn't a fool. You're so eager to confess and admit guilt; you must have received benefits from the murderer, which is why you're willingly acting as a scapegoat to take the blame for him, right?"

The middle-aged man burst into laughter, his tone extremely certain as he deduced.

Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "There's no scapegoat; I am the murderer myself."

The middle-aged man snorted, "Don't be stubborn, kid. Confess now, and the Sect can treat you leniently. Otherwise, once you're in prison, enduring severe torture, you won't even be able to cry."

Lin Yuan took out a white token with cloud patterns carved on it from his In arms and smiled calmly, "Deacon, are you sure you want to imprison me?"

"What is this?"

Looking at the unfamiliar token, the middle-aged man couldn't help but frown.

Because the cloud king token hadn't appeared for too long, he didn't recognize it for a moment.

"Have you heard of the words 'Cloud King'?"

"Cloud King… wait, this couldn't be the cloud king token, could it?"

Noticing the large 'King' character on the token, the middle-aged man's eyes suddenly widened, and his stern face had already become incomparably horrified!

cloud king token!

That was the cloud king token!

The holder of the token was also known as the Cloud King, whose status was comparable to that of the Sect Master, truly one person below ten thousand.

How could a mere Deacon like him offend such a noble person?

"No! How could you, a mere Outer Sect Disciple, possibly hold the cloud king token? This must be a fake!"

In his fright, he quickly regained his composure and questioned.

Lin Yuan scoffed, releasing Origin Qi into the token. A white light burst forth from it, followed by the ethereal figure of a woman.

She wore a veil and floated in white, exuding an extraordinary and ethereal aura that made people feel awe with just one glance.

"Gulp."

The middle-aged man swallowed fearfully and quickly bowed, "This humble one greets the Cloud King! I inadvertently offended you just now; please forgive me, Your Excellency!"

After all, as an Inner Sect Deacon, he immediately recognized the identity of the ethereal figure.

This was the Sect Leader!

To be able to summon such a solid and lifelike projection, even carrying the Sect Leader's unique Dao rhyme, this cloud king token must be genuine; it couldn't be fake.

Oh my goodness!

Thousands of years!

It had been thousands of years since the last time the cloud king token was bestowed!

After such a long time, this token has reappeared in the world; the Cloud Ripple Sect is about to change!

Lin Yuan looked at his reaction indifferently: "There's no talk of forgiveness; it's just about Huang Bin. You should know how to resolve it, right?"

"Understood, understood! That scoundrel Huang Bin, as a Deacon, dared to harm the Cloud King! This act has already committed a grave crime and deserves extreme punishment! Dying at Young Master's hands is truly satisfying, but it's a pity he couldn't be tortured more before he died!"

The middle-aged man spoke intensely, as if Huang Bin had indeed committed some heinous crime.

Lin Yuan said with satisfaction, "Well said. You may leave."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

The middle-aged man respectfully retreated, leaving only the familiar few at the scene.

Gu Shuqin and Miao Yizi's faces were still filled with shock, which had not yet faded.

cloud king token?

Lin Yuan actually obtained the cloud king token?

He had only been away from the Sect for half a month and had already obtained such a precious item?

What on earth was going on?

"Godmother, Junior Sister, long time no see. How have you been during this time?"

Lin Yuan stepped forward and spoke, pulling their thoughts back to reality.

"Uh... pretty good."

Gu Shuqin replied subconsciously, then reacted and said, "Lin Yuan, what's going on? Where did you get the cloud king token?"

"It's a long story. Let's go into the courtyard first, and I'll tell you slowly."

Taking the Mei Fu's jade hand, Lin Yuan was about to walk into the courtyard, but he saw her standing still, and she spoke softly, "Lin Yuan, who are these young ladies?"

She had noticed the three women earlier, and seeing their outstanding beauty, she couldn't help but make some guesses.

"Oh~ I forgot about them. Let me introduce them to you..."

A hint of guilt flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes as he began with Ye Linger and introduced the identities of the three women one by one.

After hearing his words, Gu Shuqin bit her lip, feeling extremely displeased.

Indeed! It was exactly as she had expected!

These women had all given themselves to her Disciple!

This was too much, wasn't it?

Didn't he say he wouldn't bring women back casually?

How could he not only bring them back now, but bring three at once, completely disregarding her words!

Although she was quite annoyed, in front of the three women, she still feigned a virtuous appearance and said softly, "Everyone, I am Lin Yuan's Godmother. You can also call me that."

"Hello, Godmother!"

The three women spoke in unison, their beautiful eyes appraising the Mei Fu, revealing admiration in their eyes.

What a Beautiful Woman!

Even though she was a bit older, she still possessed charm, like the warm sun in winter, making people feel incredibly close.

Even they, as women, couldn't help but be attracted by this charm.

No wonder husband said his relationship with Godmother was unusual; so it was because of this.

Initially, when they learned of this, they were all surprised and couldn't understand why the two would do such a thing.

Now they understood; with such a Beautiful Woman at home, no man could resist.

It was only natural that Lin Yuan would be infatuated with her.

"Alright, don't just stand at the doorway; everyone come in together."

Gu Shuqin led everyone into the courtyard, and they all sat down on the stone chairs, listening to Lin Yuan recount his experiences after leaving the Sect.

"Sun Family's wickedness! Senior Brother, you did well to kill them!"

"Lin Yuan, you actually won the Hundred-City League championship? That's incredible!"

The two women praised him repeatedly, their reverence for their man reaching its peak.

Lin Yuan smiled, "It was all just borrowing external power. Please keep it a secret for me."

Miao Yizi patted her slightly heaving chest and readily agreed, "Senior Brother, please rest assured. I, your Junior Sister, will keep all your deeds in my heart and not reveal a single bit."

Gu Shuqin also said, "Lin Yuan, relax. We will absolutely keep quiet. Also, the matter of you holding the cloud king token is truly astonishing; no one else knows about it, do they?"

"No, besides you all, only that Deacon just now knows about it, and I doubt anyone would believe him if he spoke of it."

"Hmm, that's good."

They had a tacit understanding and didn't delve into the questionable points in Lin Yuan's experiences, because such things were definitely secrets, and he would most likely not tell them. Rather than asking indiscreetly, it was better to wait for him to tell them voluntarily.
