Chapter 2316: Chapter 2336: It Seems Like This Guy Has Bad Intentions_1

Fulfill my own promise?

Lin Chen understood instantly, "Good!"

He had previously promised Fang Shan’an to safely escort Mi Xiaowan to the Huan Yue Sect and had even sworn an oath to do so. Now, he naturally had to complete the process.

Lin Chen was also curious about what would happen with Liuyun in the aftermath.

The disciples guarding the gate of the Huan Yue Sect stopped the people and demanded, "Who goes there?"

Lin Chen clasped his hands together, "Please report to the Young Sect Master Lin Yuanyi of your Sect that Independent Cultivator Lin Chen, entrusted by another, has brought Mi Xiaowan from the Fengxue Sect to your Sect."

The Fengxue Sect?

The expressions on the faces of the disciples guarding the gate became quite subtle at once. Their gazes fell upon Mi Xiaowan unabashedly, sizing her up from head to toe. In their exchanged glances, they all displayed frivolous smiles.

As gatekeepers, they were well-informed. They certainly knew about the Young Sect Master’s predilections, as well as the conflict between the Fengxue Sect and the Huan Yue Sect.

It seemed the Fengxue Sect had obediently sent the promised compensation, which included the Sect Master’s granddaughter, Mi Xiaowan.

Indeed, she was a beautiful woman; no wonder the Young Sect Master took a fancy to her!

"Why didn’t the people of the Fengxue Sect deliver the compensation themselves, instead of having you, an independent cultivator, bring it?"

Lin Chen replied calmly, "Originally, the Fengxue Sect dispatched a team to escort Mi Xiaowan here, but their vessel, the Sea King, was attacked in the Sea Fury Zone. The entire ship sank, the passengers were almost all killed; the Escort Team Leader fought to his death to get Mi Xiaowan to the shore."

"Since Mi Xiaowan is so attractive, coming here alone, the journey could be unsafe, so the dying Escort Team Leader entrusted me with seeing her safely to your Sect..."

After listening to the explanation, the disciples of the Huan Yue Sect lazily tossed out, "Wait here!"

After passing the message to the Sect, the disciples continued to gaze unabashedly at Mi Xiaowan because they knew that although the Young Sect Master fancied Mi Xiaowan and asked for her, it was merely to treat her as a plaything and to thoroughly humiliate the Fengxue Sect.

A mere plaything, what’s the harm in looking a few more times?

The Young Sect Master wouldn’t mind!

With her face still veiled, hiding her flower-like beauty, Mi Xiaowan felt a strong sense of humiliation surge within her due to those brazen and unguarded lecherous gazes.

She pursed her lips, looked down, and said nothing, with a multitude of emotions flooding her heart.

What would have become of her fate had she not met Lin Chen?

Although Liuyun had eventually agreed to take action, Mi Xiaowan knew that his help wasn’t genuine, prompted by a sense of injustice, everything was because of Lin Chen.

The ordeal she had endured was truly nothing extraordinary in this world ruled by survival of the fittest. It happened continuously every day. Who would take the trouble for a complete stranger, let alone bring trouble or even fatal disaster upon themselves?

Footsteps sounded, and the Young Sect Master Lin Yuanyi of the Huan Yue Sect emerged from the gate alongside a middle-aged man.

Lin Yuanyi’s gaze swept over everyone, finally resting on Mi Xiaowan, his face breaking into a triumphant smile.

"Mi Xiaowan, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

With gritted teeth, Mi Xiaowan raised her head and extended her hand, revealing a Spatial Bracelet, "I’ve brought everything you requested as compensation."

Lin Yuanyi laughed heartily, "Good, straightforward! Rest assured, I am a man of my word. As long as what we wanted is all there, the enmity between our Huan Yue Sect and the Fengxue Sect will be wiped clean."

Mi Xiaowan removed the Spatial Bracelet and tossed it to Lin Yuanyi, "Go easy on it."

Lin Yuanyi took the Spatial Bracelet and with his Divine Sense confirmed its contents, raising his gaze with satisfaction, "The amount is correct."

Mi Xiaowan spoke gravely, "Since there’s no problem with the compensation, you’d better keep your word and not trouble my Fengxue Sect anymore."

Lin Yuanyi laughed loudly, "Since you’ve fulfilled your part, we naturally won’t bother you any further. However, from now on, you are no longer a person of the Fengxue Sect, but my Huan Yue Sect’s, my Lin Yuanyi’s woman; remember not to make a mistake about that, yo."

Mi Xiaowan bit her lip and remained silent.

Lin Yuanyi’s gaze landed on Lin Chen and Liuyun, "Are you from the Fengxue Sect?"

Lin Chen answered evenly, "No, I am an independent cultivator..."

Lin Chen explained the situation again, and while Lin Yuanyi appeared briefly taken aback, with a momentary shadow crossing his face, he quickly recovered his smile, "Then you have truly inconvenienced yourselves. You’ve had a hard journey, come in for a cup of tea and rest a while. I have a generous reward for you."

Lin Chen clasped his hands, "Then we shall take your kind offer."

"Follow me!"

Lin Yuanyi led the three inside the gate and then soared into the air, heading toward his Cave Mansion.

Soon, the party of five reached Lin Yuanyi’s Cave Mansion. Once everyone was inside, Lin Yuanyi casually activated the Array Formation, closing off the Cave Mansion.

Lin Chen noticed Lin Yuanyi’s actions but kept his composure.

With the big shot Liuyun by his side, what was there to fear?

Originally, Lin Chen was thinking of how to pick a quarrel and turn hostile after the handover, but now it seemed perhaps unnecessary?

This guy didn’t seem to have good intentions toward the two of them?
