Chapter 1234: Gao Yang's Master's Arrival
It's impossible, the Valley Master, always fair and just, would not favor anyone.
"Nonsense! If the Valley Master knew about this, he would cripple you and feed you to the dogs!"
Lai Qiang burst out, utterly disagreeing with Lin Yifan's viewpoint.
"Is that so? Then let's wait and see!"
Lin Yifan sneered coldly, then without further ado, swung the sword in his hand and delivered a fatal blow to Lai Qiang.
"Swoosh!"
With a simple move, Lai Qiang, at the Divine Transformation Fifth Realm Early Stage, silently died, sending a chill through the surrounding junior brothers, who gasped in shock.
They never expected that the arrogant and smug senior brother from moments ago would meet such a tragic end, even less at the hands of a junior brother.
It seems that this junior brother indeed does what he says. They ought to be more cautious in the future.
"Stop!!!"
Just as Lin Yifan took care of Lai Qiang, a terrified and urgent voice came from outside the window.
The voice's power was tremendous, shattering the classroom's windows.
Everyone was drawn to the voice and looked outside the window.
They saw a figure with white hair but youthful features, flying rapidly toward them, seemingly to stop the fighting in the classroom.
Seeing this figure, the previously anxious and uneasy junior brothers of Lai Qiang felt a rush of joy.
Because this was their master, immensely powerful, someone even Lin Yifan couldn't defeat.
Although the figure seemed dozens of meters away, they arrived in the classroom in less than a second, astonishing the onlookers who couldn't comprehend how this was possible.
It seemed that behind strong people, there are stronger people hidden among them.
Seeing the elder's arrival, Lin Yifei was extremely uneasy, as this person was Lai Qiang's master who cherished him and Gao Yang dearly. Now that Lin Yifan had killed Lai Qiang, she feared that this influential figure would vent his anger on her brother and kill him.
She walked to Lin Yifan's side, tugged on his clothes, and signaled for her brother to flee quickly.
Lin Yifan covered his sister's trembling hand with his own, reassuring her not to be afraid.
Lin Yifei didn't understand why her brother was fearless. Could he really handle this disaster?
She didn't know and could only face it together with her brother, witnessing it together.
"Master! That kid killed senior brother, hurry and kill him!"
Lai Qiang's junior brother immediately tattled, no longer fearing reprisal from Lin Yifan.
With their master present, no matter how talented Lin Yifan was, he couldn't harm them.
Staring at the dead Lai Qiang by the wall and Lin Yifan's sword dripping blood, Elder Wang charged at Lin Yifan like a madman, roaring, "I will kill you!"
Losing two beloved disciples made him unable to contain his fury, determined to slay Lin Yifan, that insolent brat, to avenge his deceased disciples.
Lin Yifan stood calmly in place, without a trace of fear on his face, composed and at ease.
No one understood why he still possessed such fearless courage; had he truly disregarded life and death? Or did he have a way to avert the crisis?
Lin Yifei was terrified, anxious, and uneasy.
Elder Wang's power was immense; she worried her brother might be killed.
Lin Yifan could clearly feel his sister's hand trembling, and though he tried to comfort her, it was unstoppable.
Lai Qiang's junior brothers smirked slightly; with their master stepping in, nothing couldn't be settled, so today Lin Yifan was destined to meet his end here.
Just as they gloated, thinking Lin Yifan was about to be punched to death, Elder Wang, charging furiously at Lin Yifan, suddenly stopped in his tracks, falling silent.
Nobody knew what had happened, even his disciples were bewildered.
"What's master doing? Why did he stop?"
"Could he have been killed by that kid?"
"No way, could he really be that monstrous?"
"Nonsense, master still has a pulse; he's not dead."
"Then what's he doing?"
"Dunno, maybe he's frozen in place, or perhaps considering the consequences."
...
Lin Yifei breathed a small sigh of relief, thankful that Elder Wang stopped; otherwise, she wouldn't know what to do.
If Elder Wang continued to attack, she would certainly jump in front of her brother to take the fatal blow for him.
Because her brother killed Lai Qiang for her sake, she was unwilling to see her brother lose his life because of her.
Lin Yifan remained calm throughout, for he knew the Medicine Saint would intervene to save him, stemming from the Medicine Saint's eagerness to use him to collect the seven Immortal Rings, which gave him confidence.
In fact, he was right. It was the Medicine Saint who secretly conveyed a message to stop Elder Wang.
Only Elder Wang could hear the voice, while others could not; it was a one-on-one mental message.
Elder Wang in his tracks couldn't imagine the Valley Master would be nearby; was this all permitted by the Valley Master?
He didn't understand why the Valley Master favored Lin Yifan; even if his two beloved disciples were wrong, they didn't deserve a death sentence, right?
So, he questioned the Valley Master, asking for a reason.
The Valley Master offered no extra explanation, only stating Lin Yifan was important and should not be eliminated.
Helpless, Elder Wang had to let Lin Yifan go.
He dared not defy the Valley Master's command, for the Valley Master was decisive in dealing and would not spare him due to his position as an elder of the Medicinal Saint Valley.
His relationship with the two beloved disciples hadn't grown to a father-son bond, so he chose to handle the matter rationally and sensibly.
Disciples could be nurtured from the younger generation; once a person is gone, nothing remains.
"I'll deal with you later!"
Leaving a harsh remark, Elder Wang abruptly flew out of the classroom, destination unknown.
The disciples in the classroom were bewildered, wondering what had happened to their master.
He had just vowed to take down Lin Yifan, that little punk, and now he was leaving. Had he received an order, or considered the severe consequences, so he didn't attack Lin Yifan?
They were perplexed, unable to understand their master's state and actions.
Not only were they dumbfounded, but so was Lin Yifei, who had been worried beside Lin Yifan.
She thought that Elder Wang would surely come and punish her brother; unexpectedly, he did not.
This puzzled her; had her brother's aura intimidated Elder Wang? Or was Elder Wang afraid of her brother's master?
She thought the latter more likely; since the Valley Master held the highest status at the Medicinal Saint Valley, no one dared provoke him. Elder Wang, merely a member, lacked the strength and status to kill the Valley Master's disciple.
"Brother! You're amazing!"
Lin Yifei couldn't resist praising him; it was because of her brother's excellence that the Valley Master of the Medicinal Saint Valley noticed and took him as a disciple; thus, all of her brother's confidence stemmed from his excellence, deserving of commendation.
