So they asked, "Elder Wang, why don't you hold that kid accountable for Senior Brother Gao and Senior Brother Lai's tragic deaths, but instead protect him everywhere?"

"Those two wayward disciples, how many times have I warned them not to provoke the Lin Family? Yet, they insisted. Now that they've come knocking, their deaths are deserved."

Elder Wang felt a kind of exasperation at their failures, apart from his anger at Lin Yifan, he was also infuriated by the reckless actions of those two wayward disciples. Given the lack of justification, he couldn't hold Lin Yifan accountable, causing him considerable difficulty as their master.

At this time, under the stage, the disciples of Medicinal Saint Valley were even more puzzled.

Wasn't Elder Wang previously very fond of those two disciples, protecting them in every way, even turning a blind eye when they harassed Lin Yifan's sister? Why has he suddenly turned his back on them? Is it because he was threatened? Or is there some unspeakable secret?

They felt that Elder Wang must have been forced; otherwise, he wouldn't say such things.

And to make Elder Wang say such words, they couldn't think of anyone else but the Valley Master.

The Valley Master is a great mountain in Medicinal Saint Valley; with this mountain there, they can be sheltered from the wind and rain, and from external threats.

Therefore, the Valley Master is the person most respected in the heart of every Medicinal Saint Valley disciple.

Moreover, the Valley Master is amiable and approachable, without pretensions, making people feel no distance, and for this reason, they adore this highly authoritative elder.

They truly can't imagine that such a kindly elder would be biased towards his disciple. Isn't not being a direct disciple still considered his disciple?

"Master! Do you have some unspeakable troubles?" Elder Wang's disciple asked.

The deaths of Senior Brother Gao and Senior Brother Lai hit them too hard because these two were extremely good to them usually; they surely need to seek justice for the two senior brothers.

"Shut up!"

"How could I have any unspeakable troubles? What I said are fair words. They disregarded warnings and harassed others, and thus must bear severe consequences!"

Elder Wang angrily rebuked.

The Valley Master might be nearby, how could he possibly say anything that might damage the reputation of the Valley Master? By then, if the Valley Master got angry at him, he'd be finished.

"But they don't deserve to die!"

The junior brothers of Gao Yang and Lai Qiang continued to retort.

"It's only because they didn't work hard in cultivating their skills regularly; in the end, they're not even as good as a disciple who's just joined over a year ago."

This statement from Elder Wang left the disciples below, who were filled with rage and indignation, speechless.

Honestly, they truly felt ashamed, almost outdone by a junior brother who's been here less than two years.

Moreover, Elder Wang's meaning was quite clear. If Senior Brother Gao and Senior Brother Lai's skills were better than Lin Yifan, then today they wouldn't have to die; instead, they could have taught Lin Yifan a lesson and at most faced a minor punishment.

It's all their own fault; they can't blame the heavens nor the earth.

Although Elder Wang didn't explicitly state it, the disciples below roughly understood some of the reasons for this incident.

Elder Wang was forced, and they were at fault, lacking the strength to seek justice.

From now on, they'd never dare be arrogant and disrespectful towards Lin Yifan's family.

On the other side, the Lin Family was preparing a grand banquet, bustling and festive to the extreme.

Lin's father, Lin's mother, and An's father, An's mother all inquired about what has happened with Lin Yifan recently, whether he managed to rescue Zhou Jiajia.

Whenever encountering this question, Lin Yifan felt a pang of sadness and guilt because his ability was limited; he couldn't rescue his woman.

Lin's father, Lin's mother, and An's father, An's mother understood Lin Yifan's helplessness, so they didn't blame him.

Daring to go alone to the West to save Zhou Jiajia was admirable enough; what more could be asked?

After the elders finished talking, Lin Yilian pulled her brother aside, curiously asking, "Brother, have you taken another concubine?"

She got this news from Yi Chen.

Originally, Yi Chen didn't intend for her to know, but when spending money to settle Li Xiangmei's residence abroad was discovered by her, because he had to go through her approval to use the company's money.

"What nonsense are you saying? I don't have the leisure for that." Lin Yifan firmly denied, not wanting his sister to misunderstand.

"Then what's up with the foreign villa?" Lin Yilian pursued.

"Can't I use it for vacation?" Lin Yifan countered.

"Sure! Some day I'll go there for a vacation too."

Lin Yilian didn't believe her brother hadn't taken a girlfriend.

"Oh, my dear sister, don't make trouble here."

Lin Yifan felt quite troubled; he didn't want this matter to happen, but it just happened messily, leaving him bewildered.

"Am I making trouble, or are you fickle-minded, not wanting to rescue sister-in-law Zhou and sister-in-law Su? Think it over yourself."

Lin Yilian spoke no more, turning around and leaving.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yifan fell into reflection.

What his sister said wasn't wrong, Zhou Jiajia and Su Qingqing's fate was uncertain. How could he wander carefreely and indulge in romance?

After sighing, he called Yi Chen over to inquire about the situation.

Beforehand, he had repeatedly instructed not to disclose this matter; why did Yi Chen not listen?

Yi Chen felt aggrieved, and then explained the details to Lin Yifan.

After listening, Lin Yifan realized it wasn't Yi Chen's fault; he wrongly blamed Yi Chen.

After apologizing, he asked Yi Chen about his current realm and future plans.

Yi Chen seemed a bit embarrassed because his current realm was very low, but this was due to the surrounding environment, and he couldn't help it.

After telling Lin Yifan about the realm, he answered the next question.

Actually, living in the Secular World for so long has made him attached to this lifestyle, so his future plans are, of course, to marry and have children here, honor the elders, and build a happy and fulfilling life.

It's rare for a cultivator to be so open-minded, causing Lin Yifan to feel gratified.

But he's not the same; he's already caught in this conflict and can't escape.

Yi Chen is someone trustworthy, entrusting his sister to him brings him peace.

The two men chatted for a while until it was almost time to eat.

Then the two headed to the dining room to enjoy dinner together.

Lin Yifan wouldn't linger long at home because he still needed to return to Medicinal Saint Valley to "report in."

Though he knew the Medicine Saint was nearby, exposing and piercing through the Medicine Saint's pretense blatantly wasn't advisable.

On the surface, the Medicine Saint hadn't assigned him any tasks, but in reality, it was a task. Now that the task is accomplished, he must return to report to Medicinal Saint Valley, allowing an agreeable resolution for both parties.

The news of Lin Yifan being in Yanjing reached the ears of the prominent figures of both Wudang Sect and Kunlun Sect by the next day.
