Chapter 222: Improper Filial Piety

This matter was brought up by Dragon Qingyan again a few days ago when she visited her.

She understood the underlying intention.

It was to provide a protective outer layer for Piao Miao Sect.

Currently, forces and Heavenly Talents from various domains are gathering in the Northern Frontier, and due to Lin Yu’s situation, Piao Miao Sect has now entered the public eye.

Under these circumstances, the entire sect could be wiped out with a single misstep.

They were too weak to withstand any turmoil.

This was originally a good thing, but Dragon Qingyan also said that they are currently in a neutral state, and while it seems dangerous, as long as no conflict occurs, there won't be any problems for now.

However, once they choose to join, Lin Yu’s affiliation would become a matter of alignment.

If Lin Yu were to defeat Shangguan Yunxi again, the other two major forces would inevitably take action in secret.

Therefore, whether or not to join Thunder Domain Holy Hall became a dilemma for her.

Joining could prevent harassment from forces and Heavenly Talents below the giant level, making them less cautious.

But the consequence would be that the other two major giants might secretly employ unknown methods.

Not joining meant the three major giants would stand in a three-way balance, mutually restraining each other; as long as Lin Yu had no stance issues, they would be safe for a short period.

However, those Heavenly Talents were extremely arrogant, and it was hard to say what they might do to Piao Miao Sect.

Joining or not joining, each had its pros and cons.

This was why she had called them all here today.

With that, she looked at the others, awaiting their responses.

“Sister Yue, I don’t think moving to the Central Domain is necessary, but becoming an affiliated sect of Thunder Domain Holy Hall can be considered. That way, we can also protect Lin Yu!”

As soon as Su Yue finished speaking, Liu Xue immediately voiced her opinion.

Her expression was cool and clear, showing no emotional fluctuations.

But her beautiful eyes were fixed on Lin Yu, making it clear to anyone what she meant.

Liu Xue was the first among the sisters to establish a relationship with Lin Yu, which held a special significance.

Therefore, the other women began to ponder Liu Xue’s words.

Lin Yu was indeed the key to this matter.

Without Lin Yu, Piao Miao Sect would have no problems whatsoever.

Everyone’s attention was actually on Lin Yu, and his safety naturally became the top priority.

“Alright, don’t worry about this anymore. No one dares to touch Piao Miao Sect, and there’s no need for us to become an affiliate. I think Piao Miao Sect is just fine as it is!”

Just as the women were pondering, Lin Yu stood up and said with a comforting laugh.

His standing instantly drew the attention of all the women.

Each of them looked puzzled.

Although they knew something about Lin Yu’s strength, it might only be slightly stronger than those young Heavenly Talents, and he might not fare well against older generation powerhouses.

Moreover, to protect Piao Miao Sect, it wasn’t enough to merely protect oneself; there needed to be a very strong deterrent effect.

“Do you believe me?”

Lin Yu looked at Su Yue and the others with firm eyes.

Facing the doubt in their eyes, he didn't explain much, simply asking that one question.

In fact, he was very clear about their concerns.

It was nothing more than two aspects: first, the safety of the sect; second, his own personal safety.

However, he had already anticipated these situations and was fully confident in handling them with ease.

It was just that he didn't want the women present to know too much about his true current strength for now.

Because once they understood too much, it would inevitably add a lot of unnecessary psychological pressure.

One must know, the gap between them was indeed quite significant.

Although the miraculous power of the eternal ring had broken the bottleneck in their aptitudes, their cultivation speed was far less astonishing than his.

Take Su Yue, for example; she originally had deep accumulations, and once the shackles disappeared, her cultivation had successfully broken through to the Out of Body Realm.

And that was just Su Yue; the other few masters were even weaker.

Most of them were still in the late to peak Yuanshen Realm.

Even the two strongest among them, Xia Zining and Lin Shiyin, were still a crucial small step away from breaking through to the Faxiang Realm.

He didn't want the gap in cultivation to create a sense of distance between them as master and disciple, especially not wanting them to feel too much pressure.

Moreover, he had other plans.

The attention of those important figures and Heavenly Talents on him was only temporary.

As soon as that guy Lin Fei appeared in the public eye, he would definitely divert everyone’s attention.

After all, Lin Fei had killed Luo Xingchen in the Thousand Mansion Competition.

The significance of that was far greater than his own.

At best, he was just a very talented Heavenly Talent, while Lin Fei’s significance was immense.

With Lin Fei’s current playful nature after just emerging, he might just turn the entire continent upside down.

With his Lin family’s spatial attribute abilities, even Wu Wang and Ghost Howl would be powerless against him.

On the contrary, this would make them focus even more on Lin Fei.

The harder something is to obtain, the more precious it is—that’s what it means.

“Lin Yu, of course we believe you, but you absolutely must not act recklessly.”

Su Yue nodded solemnly.

She wasn't speaking idly.

Lin Yu’s reckless entry into Void Cliff last time, disappearing for several months, was still fresh in her memory.

If it weren’t for his life token still being there, she truly didn’t know how she and her sisters would have endured those months.

Piao Miao Sect was founded by her own hands; although its rank was not high, it was her painstaking effort, and she naturally did not want to be beholden to others.

Especially not to those giant-level forces.

Any one of them could easily destroy them, and even if they suffered grievances, they would have to endure it, which was not what she wanted to see.

If it weren't for Lin Yu’s safety, she wouldn’t even consider this matter.

After all, Dragon Qingyan held the esteemed position of Hall Master; she couldn’t possibly manage their trivial matters all the time.

If Lin Yu could truly protect Piao Miao Sect, then so be it, but she was afraid this sly fellow would do something dangerous again.

For example… sacrificing his life to protect the sect!

“Hehe, don’t worry, I promise I won’t act recklessly. I haven’t properly ‘shown filial piety’ to all the masters and Sect Master yet, so why would I joke around with my life!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu immediately grinned.

As he spoke, his gaze scanned back and forth over Su Yue’s large, full curves.

He felt as if they had grown a bit after not seeing them for a few months.

They were quite a bit larger compared to his sister Su Li.

“Hmph, stop it, you smooth talker!”

Feeling Lin Yu’s undisguised fervent gaze, Su Yue immediately said with indignation.

She was truly exasperated with this guy.

Everyone was concerned about his safety, but he, on the other hand, didn’t take it seriously at all; instead, he remained lustful, openly eyeing her.

As for the word ‘filial piety’, she didn’t believe it for a second.

This ‘filial piety’ was definitely not proper.
