88: That year, I put my hands in my pockets and didn’t know what an opponent was!

At this moment, an onlooker from the village shouted.

“The Village Chief is here!!”

The remaining few Upper Receptacles immediately turned their heads and ran towards where Ma Xianhong was.

Ma Xianhong was here, so they had support.

Ma Xianhong was here, and all their troubles would be resolved!

Among the Upper Receptacles, only Fu Rong and Qiu Rang were still able to move.

Bi Yuan accompanied Ma Xianhong to Lin Yuan’s presence.

Ma Xianhong looked at the chaotic scene, suppressing the anger in his heart.

He knew that Lin Yuan would not act without reason; there must be some underlying cause.

“What exactly happened? Why is it like this?”

Ma Xianhong looked at Qiu Rang and the others with a gloomy expression.

“Village Chief... it’s like this...”

Qiu Rang recounted everything in detail.

As Ma Xianhong listened to Qiu Rang’s words, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

When he learned that Zhao Guizhen was a traitor from the Maoshan sect, who killed children to Cultivate evil arts.

He truly hadn’t expected that he could harbor such a person without knowing anything.

Initially, Zhao Guizhen said he was just traveling down the mountain with no place to settle, and Ma Xianhong eventually agreed to let him join Biyou Village.

Finally, Zhao Guizhen successfully became one of the Upper Receptacles.

Ma Xianhong was filled with regret; he was too naive and hadn’t investigated this person’s background.

However... how did Lin Yuan know about this?

Ma Xianhong looked at Lin Yuan and asked:

“Immortal Master Lin Yuan! I already know about this matter, but I want to know how you determined that he did all these things?”

“Heh heh, I know you still don’t believe me, so go see for yourself.”

Saying this, Lin Yuan took out his phone, found the company’s wanted notice for Zhao Guizhen, and then tossed it to Ma Xianhong.

“See for yourself; the company wouldn’t casually issue a wanted notice without conclusive evidence. There are physical proofs below.”

“If you don’t believe it, you can investigate it yourself.”

Ma Xianhong looked at the text on the screen, each line like a knife piercing his heart.

He hadn’t expected that he had truly taken in a scoundrel!

Now that one scoundrel had appeared, it was hard to guarantee that others in Biyou Village wouldn’t turn out to be the same.

Ma Xianhong looked at Zhao Guizhen’s head, his eyes seemingly still reflecting terror.

“Alas... what about the others? What about Zhong Xiaolong? He merely tried to stop you from killing, and you killed him?”

Lin Yuan smiled.

“Who said I killed him?”

Ma Xianhong pointed at Zhong Xiaolong, who had been impaled like a porcupine.

“He’s already been stabbed like this by you; he’s just waiting to be cremated.”

Lin Yuan smiled.

“Ma Xianhong, you still don’t understand my abilities. Let alone a single breath, even if his heart stops beating, I can still save him.”

The next second, Lin Yuan’s hand suddenly burst forth with Yin and Yang Qi, which then enveloped the entire area.

Ever since Lin Yuan had a Breakthrough to the Horn Transformation Realm, the Qi he could wield was almost more than double what it was before.

After a long while, Zhong Xiaolong, who was covered in bloodied holes, completely recovered as good as new.

The other Upper Receptacles also fully recovered.

Ma Xianhong stared at Lin Yuan’s supernatural methods, stunned.

This... to be able to restore everyone to their original state so easily... wouldn’t dealing with him be as easy as preparing a dish?

Now that everyone except Zhao Guizhen had recovered, Ma Xianhong couldn’t say anything more to Lin Yuan.

“Immortal Master Lin Yuan, I am truly sorry. It was due to my oversight that someone like Zhao Guizhen entered Biyou Village!”

“It is my fault for my poor supervision. Thank you, Immortal Master Lin Yuan, for showing mercy this time!”

Lin Yuan looked at the humble Ma Xianhong and sneered:

“Even now, Ma Xianhong, isn’t your indiscriminate education ridiculous?”

“Are you hoping to enlighten someone like Zhao Guizhen?”

“Immortal Master Lin Yuan... I truly was unaware of this matter.”

“I know you were unaware, but you harbored a heinous murderer.”

“Because of your ‘unawareness,’ how many bad people have you harbored?”

“And how many people have died unjustly because of you?”

Listening to Lin Yuan’s words, Ma Xianhong fell into a long silence.

“Ma Xianhong, I’ll tell you the truth: Biyou Village has more than just one person like Zhao Guizhen. Among the ordinary people gathered in the village, several are wanted by the relevant authorities.”

“There are also some who are clearly wealthy and prominent individuals, and their hands aren’t so clean either. Go investigate, and you’ll know.”

“Alright, I’ve said enough. I won’t say anything more; you wouldn’t listen anyway.”

After speaking, Lin Yuan left the scene on his own, leaving Ma Xianhong and the others to handle the situation... As dusk gradually fell.

Fu Rong prepared the meal and carried the lunchbox to the back mountain.

She was going to deliver food to a young girl named Chen Duo, who had recently joined Biyou Village.

Chen Duo’s situation was rather special; she didn’t speak much, and rarely met people.

Most of the time, Fu Rong would prepare the food and deliver it to Chen Duo... In a secluded courtyard on the back mountain.

A young girl in casual clothes, with delicate and pretty features, had a pair of emerald green eyes that showed no trace of emotion.

The girl was staring blankly at the forest in front of her until she heard Fu Rong’s voice and turned her head.

“Chen Duo, I’ve brought your meal. Sorry, I’m a bit late today; something happened in the village.”

Although Chen Duo was a bit puzzled, she didn’t speak, merely nodding silently.

Fu Rong didn’t mind and continued talking to herself:

“Let me tell you, that Immortal Master Lin Yuan today really has some skills! He beat us all so badly we were completely disoriented.”

“Zhao Guizhen was directly sliced by him until only bones remained.”

Fu Rong pulled Chen Duo to sit down and opened the lunchbox.

The reason she was talking to Chen Duo wasn’t to incite her to seek revenge, but simply to find someone to vent her frustrations to.

Chen Duo, meanwhile, continued to eat her meal with a blank expression, showing no emotion whatsoever.

“The most amazing thing was Zhong Xiaolong. Lin Yuan impaled him like a porcupine, and he was already on the verge of death. But then, Lin Yuan used some technique, and all our injuries were healed.”

“So many of us went to fight Lin Yuan, but it turned out he wasn’t even using his full strength the whole time, keeping both hands in his pockets. He was so arrogant!”

“But, honestly, if I had his strength, I’d probably act like him too, and then add a line.”

Saying this, Fu Rong stood up, hands in her pockets.

“I only need to make a slight move, and that is the limit of this tier!”

“It’s still that saying! That year, with my hands in my pockets, I didn’t know what an opponent was!”
