22: Today I should avenge my hatred and repay my parents' kindness.

Li Changfeng hadn't spoken yet, thinking to himself, 'Hero saves the beauty.'

Then the beauty offers herself in return—he could accept such a thing.

Unfortunately, no Disciple-recruitment mission was triggered.

Compared to embracing the beauty, Li Changfeng hoped even more to trigger a Disciple-recruitment mission, which would allow him to improve his strength more quickly.

With one Phoenix Dance cultivating diligently, he had already reaped the benefits, reaching Nascent Soul Peak in just a few days.

What if he had a few more Disciples bound to the System for cultivation?

Hehehe!

Thinking of this, Li Changfeng's mood brightened, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

Seeing the smile on Li Changfeng's face, Phoenix Dance's expression immediately changed.

She thought Revered Master had been moved.

If Revered Master took in this Lin Yanran, how would she repay Li Changfeng by offering herself?

At once, Phoenix Dance said in a deep voice, "Revered Master, this woman's background is unknown."

"Since we have already saved her from danger, we should go attend to our proper business."

"Doing good deeds without leaving a name is what Cultivators like us should do."

"Let's quickly go to Yangfeng City, and after settling these worldly entanglements, we will return."

Li Changfeng felt that Phoenix Dance made a lot of sense; he was a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator with a long lifespan.

After breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm, one could live for a thousand years.

If one stepped into the God Transformation Realm, one could have a lifespan of two thousand years.

Coupled with some Heaven And Earth Treasure that extended life, one might even have a chance to live for three thousand years.

But Lin Yanran was just a mortal woman, with a lifespan of only one hundred eighty years.

The thought that had just arisen was immediately suppressed by Li Changfeng.

"Phoenix Dance is right; since we have already saved her life, this matter is concluded."

"Let's go, we're heading to Yangfeng City."

Lin Yanran immediately grew anxious and couldn't help but speak.

"Immortal, can you please see your good deed through to the end?"

"I know this request is excessive, but I truly have no other choice."

"Yanran only has one younger brother left in this world, and now my brother has been captured by the Young Sect Master of the Qingyi Sect."

"Although I have been saved, my brother might lose his life."

"I implore the Immortal and Fairy to lend a helping hand; Lin Yanran is willing to work like an ox or a horse to repay you."

Watching Lin Yanran kneel on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly.

She wasn't forcing anyone but simply begging, and Phoenix Dance felt a pang of pity.

Phoenix Dance looked at Li Changfeng: "Revered Master, do you think we should help her?"

"Of course, within our capabilities; if it's impossible, then we would have at least tried our best."

"Phoenix Dance has experienced many hardships in her life and cannot bear to see pitiable people."

Li Changfeng said indifferently, "You decide."

"As for this Qingyi Sect, whether to pressure them to release him or directly act against them, you decide."

"I, your Revered Master, will watch how you handle it. If there are any Cultivators you cannot defeat, I will suppress them!"

Phoenix Dance nodded heavily and looked at Lin Yanran.

"Lin Yanran, get up."

"My Revered Master has agreed to your request, but whether it succeeds or not is uncertain."

"After all, Revered Master and I are only two people. If the Qingyi Sect is very powerful, we might be powerless."

"Although the Qingyi Sect is not too strong, there is an Old Ancestor within their sect."

Lin Yanran cried tears of joy, thanking them repeatedly.

"Thank you, Immortal and Fairy, Lin Yanran has no way to repay you."

"If the Immortal is willing, I will offer myself in return, or after rescuing my brother Lin Fan, I can serve as the Immortal's and Fairy's maid!"

Li Changfeng said calmly, "Do you know where your brother is now?"

Lin Yanran: "My brother Lin Fan was captured by the Young Sect Master of the Qingyi Sect, and he is currently in Yangfeng City."

"It's conveniently on the way for the Immortal and Fairy, but this place is not close to Yangfeng City."

"I wonder if the Immortal and Fairy could take me along by flying?"

Good!

Li Changfeng didn't refuse, and the Flying Sword reappeared.

After a light leap, Li Changfeng stepped onto the Flying Sword, and Phoenix Dance followed closely, once again embracing Li Changfeng from behind.

Lin Yanran looked around but found that there was no more space behind.

"Immortal, Fairy!"

"I wonder where I should stand? I'm not a Cultivator; will I just fall off if I stand on this sword?"

Phoenix Dance said, "Revered Master, move forward a bit. I'll let Lin Yanran stand behind me and hold onto me."

"As long as she holds on tightly, she shouldn't fall."

"At that time, Revered Master can also slow down a bit."

Li Changfeng, however, shook his head and said, "You yourself are scared. If I let her stand behind, there's no guarantee you won't both fall off."

"How about this: let her stand in front of me, and I'll stabilize her body. That way, we won't be afraid."

"Rise!"

With the last word, 'Rise,' a gentle force immediately enveloped Lin Yanran's body, bringing her to the very front of the Flying Sword.

But Lin Yanran was very scared in her heart, and having no other way, Li Changfeng had to hold her waist to steady her.

"Don't overthink it. You can look at the distant scenery along the way, but don't look down."

"You are not a Cultivator; your mindset and tolerance will be very different."

"Especially when you lack strength, you will feel more panic."

"But with me here, I won't let you fall."

Thank you…

Being held by a strange man around her waist for the first time, various emotions surged in Lin Yanran's heart.

Her face was burning, red down to her neck.

Her heart was pounding extremely fast, as if it would leap out of her throat.

Phoenix Dance stood behind Li Changfeng, holding him tightly with both hands, a hint of jealousy on her face.

She regretted it a little; she shouldn't have brought Lin Yanran along.

This Lin Yanran had both looks and figure.

And she had offered herself several times—a definite rival, yet she had kept her.

Alas, she was still too soft-hearted.

Moreover, even if helping her rescue her brother was something they could do, she shouldn't have brought her along to Yangfeng City!

"Revered Master, you cannot fall for this girl."

"You are Phoenix Dance's!"

Thinking this, Phoenix Dance's grip tightened a bit more.

Li Changfeng thought Phoenix Dance was scared and couldn't help but slow down their flying speed even more.

With the slower speed and the time delayed by Lin Yanran's matter, it ultimately took an hour to reach Yangfeng City.

The three descended about a hundred meters outside the city, and no one noticed them arriving from the sky.

Phoenix Dance looked at the familiar Yangfeng City, and past events flooded her mind.

She once had a happy and complete family, but because she was favored by the Young Sect Master, her parents met a tragic end.

Unconsciously, Phoenix Dance's hands were already clenched into fists.

Li Changfeng patted Phoenix Dance's shoulder and said softly.

"Phoenix Dance, hatred easily makes one lose reason."

"But today, you don't need to suppress the hatred in your heart. Do as you wish."

"If the sky falls, I, your Revered Master, will hold it up for you."

Phoenix Dance's eyes welled up with tears. She looked at Li Changfeng and directly threw herself into his embrace.

Lin Yanran lowered her head. For some reason, seeing Phoenix Dance and Li Changfeng so close, she felt an unknown, strange emotion and didn't want to witness this scene.

A moment later, Phoenix Dance recovered.

She walked at the very front, leading the way, heading straight for the City Lord's Mansion!

Today, she would avenge her parents' kindness!
