4: Miss Lin, what brings you here again?

Hearing the Disciple's words, Lin Qingxuan was a bit dazed.

Wasn't her brother still bedridden with heavy injuries yesterday?

How did something happen again today?

"Quick! Tell me what happened!"

Then the Disciple told Lin Qingxuan that early this morning, Lin Tian had run to the management office of the Fierce Beast Garden and got into a verbal dispute with several Disciples.

Then, as the argument escalated, a fight broke out. Lin Tian injured several of them and was subsequently taken away by the Hall of Enforcement.

When he arrived at the Hall of Enforcement, Lin Tian continued to spout arrogant words and even directed foul language at the Hall of Enforcement's Law Enforcement Elder.

Consequently, Lin Tian was punished and personally locked into the Netherworld Water Prison by the Law Enforcement Elder.

"What? The Netherworld Water Prison!"

Lin Qingxuan's heart turned cold. The Netherworld Water Prison was a place where the Primordial Holy Land held serious criminals. It was said that the Netherworld Cold Qi permeated the place, corroding both body and soul.

An ordinary Spirit Sea Realm Disciple locked inside wouldn't even last a day before their Spirit Sea was damaged.

She couldn't understand how her brother, who was on the verge of death just yesterday, could cause such a disaster after she had only slept for a while... It turned out that early this morning, after taking the Medicinal Pill, Lin Tian had recovered quickly.

After all, as one of the Sons of Destiny, his innate recovery ability was top-notch. Combined with the assistance of the Medicinal Pill, it was hard not to recover.

Then, Lin Tian remembered what happened yesterday and the actions of those Disciples guarding the Fierce Beast Garden.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, feeling that those Disciples had deliberately looked for trouble.

As he thought, he felt an inexplicable irritability in his heart and decided to find those Disciples to "reason" with them.

Then, the events Lin Qingxuan learned from the Messenger Disciple unfolded.

But there was no time for her to overthink. She hurriedly asked the Disciple to take her to the Hall of Enforcement; saving her brother was the top priority.

However, once she arrived at the Hall of Enforcement, she pleaded with the Law Enforcement Elder for a long time, but it was to no avail.

"Never mind that you're just a Direct Disciple; even your master has to show me some respect. Don't think you're so special just because you have some talent. Do you really think you're the Saintess?"

Lin Qingxuan, who was already somewhat timid by nature, was severely reprimanded by the Law Enforcement Elder and almost burst into tears.

However, she also keenly noticed the key point in the Elder's words. From his tone, it seemed that if the Saintess came to plead, there might be a way.

But the Saintess was currently out on a trial. Although she had a good relationship with the Saintess, she didn't know her exact whereabouts.

And her brother's situation couldn't be delayed. He was already injured and locked in the Netherworld Water Prison; every minute of delay meant more danger.

With the Saintess's whereabouts unknown, the only option left was... Lin Qingxuan grit her teeth, stopped pleading, and turned to fly toward the Holy Son's Palace.

At the moment, there seemed to be no other way besides asking the Saint for help.

It was just that she had only visited the Saint yesterday, and going again for a second time today made her uncertain if the Saint would be willing to help.

Just as she arrived outside the Holy Son's Palace with an apprehensive heart, she happened to run into Ling'er, who was coming out of the palace with a glowing face.

Lin Qingxuan was overjoyed; it seemed the Saint hadn't left. She then anxiously requested Ling'er:

"Miss Ling'er! Please, could you announce me? I have something to ask for Lord Saint's help!"

Ling'er, who was originally feeling satisfied and happy, saw that the woman from yesterday had come back again.

She felt a bit jealous and immediately pulled a long face to ask:

"Why are you here again? Wasn't your brother already released? What are you doing here now?"

Lin Qingxuan was momentarily speechless. She couldn't exactly tell her that her brother had been captured again.

"Ling'er, don't make things difficult for her. Let her in."

Just as Lin Qingxuan didn't know what to do, Lu Yi's voice came from inside the Holy Son's Palace.

Ling'er pouted. Although she was a bit reluctant, she couldn't continue to be difficult since her master had given the order.

At the same time, hearing Lu Yi's voice telling her to enter, Lin Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief.

However, as she followed Ling'er into the main hall, she became nervous again. How should she speak?

"Miss Lin, why are you here again? Could it be that my subordinates didn't release your brother yesterday?"

Hearing Lu Yi's cold inquiry, Lin Qingxuan hurriedly shook her head:

"No... they released my brother... it's just... it's just..."

Lin Qingxuan didn't know how to express exactly what had happened. In the end, she grit her teeth and told him everything Lin Tian had done this morning.

Lu Yi had actually known about Lin Tian being arrested again early on and had been waiting for Lin Qingxuan to come find him.

But on the surface, he still acted puzzled and asked Lin Qingxuan:

"This... doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, does it? What do you mean by coming to find me, Miss Lin?"

Lin Qingxuan naturally knew this had nothing to do with Lu Yi. She was just desperately turning to anyone in her panic, so she could only brace herself and plead:

"I... I want to ask you, Saint, to help me save my brother!"

The air in the main hall seemed to freeze as her voice fell, becoming so quiet that Lin Qingxuan could hear her own heartbeat.

"Pfft—"

Lu Yi let out a scoff, as if he had heard some kind of joke, breaking the silence.

This scoff made Lin Qingxuan, whose heart was already racing, blush furiously, almost as if steam were coming from her head.

"Does Miss Lin mistake my Holy Son's Palace for a charity house? Or do you think our relationship has become very intimate after what happened yesterday?"

Lin Qingxuan naturally knew what "what happened yesterday" referred to and understood her request was somewhat impolite, but this was truly her only option.

"I didn't... I just... I just..."

Lin Qingxuan lowered her head in embarrassment, her voice gradually growing smaller until it became barely audible.

Seeing her embarrassed state, Lu Yi knew the timing was about right; it was time to finish things off.

"I can save your brother, but I have a condition..."

"What condition?!"

Hearing that there was a turn of events, Lin Qingxuan didn't even wait for Lu Yi to finish before she excitedly pressed for an answer.

Seeing her eager appearance, Lu Yi smilingly held up three fingers and said lightly:

"Three days, how about it?"

"Three..."

Lin Qingxuan naturally understood what Lu Yi meant, but three days was really a bit... Yesterday was only half a day, and her waist was still sore even now.

And that was with the recovery from the Medicinal Pill; if it were three days in a row, she feared... However, her concern for her brother ultimately overcame her fear, and she braced herself to agree.

"I... I can! But you have to save my brother first!"

Lin Qingxuan was afraid that if she really waited until after the three days to save her brother, it would be too late.

After all, the Netherworld Water Prison was no joke.

"Saving him first won't be at that price; I'll have to add more time. It has to be this many..."

Then Lu Yi silently held up five fingers.

"I... I can, but can we... count them separately?"

Lin Qingxuan resigned herself to her fate, but she still made a small request. After all, five days in one go would truly break a person.

"Installment payments? Of course, but that will require another two days..."

Lu Yi wouldn't miss any chance to raise the stakes; every extra day counted. After all, feelings grow over time.

"Fine... Fine! I promise you! Can we go save my brother now?"

Lin Qingxuan grit her teeth and finally agreed, and Lu Yi naturally consented readily.

"Of course! You're the customer, and the customer is king. Lead the way; this Saint will personally accompany you."
