The boy garbed in red hesitated for an instant, but when he really didn’t see the fourth person in the description, he asked, “What happened to the black-clothed cultivator who was fighting against the Shen family in the Pill Limit Mysterious Land earlier?”

　　Yan Tianhen knew that he was talking about Ling Chigu, so he responded without any changes in his expression, “As for that person, I don’t who he is either, I’ve never seen him before. He suddenly appeared and suddenly disappeared. In any case, he’s not with us.”

　　“Then why did he help?” A disciple from Sky Peak Sect asked.

　　Evidently, in just a few short hours, Shen Changgeng had already told many people about the events that happened inside the Pill Limit Mysterious Land.

　　Yan Tianhen answered with a sincere and earnest expression, “I’m afraid it’s because…he saw this outrageous and tyrannical scene and just had to draw his sword to help. Let me tell you, some people really are too excessive when they do things, so much so that not even pa.s.sersby can bear to let it go.”

　　The little boy in red choked.

　　Beating a person to such a state and then calling it helping in the name of chivalry, wasn’t that too shameless?

　　Since they were missing a person, the red-clothed boy didn’t dare to decide himself, so he said, “Then please follow me, Young Sect Master has been waiting for the three of you for a long time.”

　　Duan Yuyang’s mouth twitched. “Who knows if there are any clandestine relations between your Sky Peak Sect’s Young Sect Master and the Shen family. Sky Peak Sect is your territory. Honourable me may be a strong dragon, but even a dragon cannot suppress a snake in its own territory. Just because we can enter doesn’t necessarily mean we can walk out of there afterward. I’m not going.”

　　The boy in red almost spat out blood and said somewhat angrily, “You dare to insult my family’s Young Master, what nerve.”

　　Duan Yuyang stared at this little child whose face was a little red and looked quite delicate and adorable, and his playfulness rose up. He showed a playboy’s distinctive ambiguous smile and reached out a hand to pinch the little boy’s face. “You really are unswervingly loyal to your family’s Young Master; so lovely, why don’t you follow me?”

　　The red-clothed boy had never seen this kind of person before. As someone who followed beside Ren Fuyao, he could be considered a first-cla.s.s person who was both distinguished and successful. No one in the entire Sky Peak Sect had ever dared to hara.s.s him like this!

　　“Shut up!” The child in red seemed so angry that he could explode. He gnashed his teeth, as though he wanted to fight Duan Yuyang. However, at this time, a powerful pressure descended from the sky, and the little boy in red immediately a.s.sumed a respectful bearing.

　　“Young Sect Master.”

　　Only to see Ren Fuyao gently float down, as light as a feather. The sleeves of his robes suddenly rose; in an instant, he’d already landed in front of Lin Xuanzhi and company. Sky Peak Sect’s disciples all made way for him and saluted to Ren Fuyao. One could see that they held him in extreme reverence and esteem.

　　Ren Fuyao walked to Lin Xuanzhi. Although his appearance looked feminine, gentle and reserved, his stature was not like a woman’s at all. Instead, he was tall and straight, with quite an impressive aura.

　　In the earlier Hundred Families Gathering, Ren Fuyao didn’t spare a second glance at Lin Xuanzhi, but now, he said in surprise, “Your Dantian Qi sea has already recovered?”

　　Lin Xuanzhi nodded. “Thanks to good fortune, I obtained a celestial-level recovery pill in the Pill Limit Mysterious Land by chance. Currently, I’ve completely recovered.”

　　Ren Fuyao couldn’t help but secretly note Lin Xuanzhi’s good luck. One should know that even though they released information about there being a celestial-level pill in Pill Limit Mysterious Land before, in reality, no one knew for sure whether there actually was a pill like that inside or not.

　　Who would have thought that Lin Xuanzhi was actually able to find it.

　　Ren Fuyao said flatly, “Congratulations.”

　　Who knows how much genuine sincerity versus false pretenses was contained in this one congratulation, but Lin Xuanzhi still politely replied, “Many thanks.”

　　Ren Fuyao looked towards Yan Tianhen and Duan Yuyang, then his gaze finally fell on Lin Xuanzhi. “I don’t mean to intentionally make things difficult for anyone, it’s just that the Shen family lost a few main branch pupils inside the Pill Limit Mysterious Land, so the Shen family asked me to uphold justice for them. Shen Changgeng is an inner door disciple of our Sky Peak Sect and can also be considered my direct junior martial brother; this Pill Limit Mysterious Land was also released by my Sky Peak Sect. No matter whether you look from an emotional or a logical standpoint, I can be a good mediator. If you are not busy, please come with me. I can also better understand the events that occurred.” His speech clearly stated his neutral position. He didn’t simply selectively choose to listen to and believe Shen Changgeng’s words but also intended to hear what Lin Xuanzhi’s side had to say.

　　Since he was like this, Lin Xuanzhi couldn’t really hold any ill will towards him.

　　Lin Xuanzhi also knew that a tough battle was unavoidable, so he nodded and agreed, “In that case, I won’t make things difficult for Young Sect Master Ren either.”

　　Yan Tianhen held Lin Xuanzhi’s hand. “I will go with you.”

　　Lin Xuanzhi didn’t refuse.

　　Because he had already foreseen such a scene in advance, Lin Xuanzhi temporarily left Feng Jingyu in Ling Chigu’s care just before they left Pill Limit Mysterious Land — or more like having them look after each other.

　　n.o.body knew what kind of magic treasures or secret techniques Feng Jingyu used, but he actually disappeared with Ling Chigu in front of everyone’s eyes.

　　Thus, Lin Xuanzhi, Yan Tianhen, and Duan Yuyang followed Ren Fuyao into Sky Peak Sect’s main gate.

　　Lin Xuanzhi wasn’t actually afraid of encountering any accidents while on someone else’s territory either. While in front of Sky Peak Sect’s gate, he saw Lin Zezhi standing far away and used his gaze to signal to Lin Zezhi.

　　Right now, Lin Zezhi should be going back to the inn to get reinforcements.

　　Lin Liuchun would certainly not allow them to be bossed around like caged animals in fighting rings.

　　Your family is your backer.

　　This was the first time he came to Sky Peak Sect, so Yan Tianhen was clearly very interested in this place. He was dazzled by the towering mountains, precipitous ridges, and ethereal music. It really was a feast for his eyes.

　　After a while, Yan Tianhen suddenly thought of a matter. “Young Sect Master Ren, what happened to Shen Changgeng, that baddie?”

　　Ren Fuyao answered, “One of his arms was chopped off, but besides that he’s fine.”

　　Yan Tianhen was somewhat disappointed. “So he only lost an arm.”
