C51 (1/2)

Shortly after, Lin Fan gave an apologetic smile to Lanyu, his eyes filled with shock.

Lanyu's performance surprised him. Within the Imperial City, there were countless people that converged on the Qi Family clansmen, bowing like a dog. But, Lanyu was so young and not afraid of being overbearing, it was truly admirable.

But Lin Fan didn't know that Lanyu and the Qi Family had a grudge that couldn't be resolved.

”Haha, Qiao Yin will arrange a room for little brother Lanyu to rest well.” Lin Fan awkwardly said. In front of Lanyu, he felt a bit embarrassed. Today, his Patriarch's limelight had actually been stolen away by this little fellow.

”Yes, Father.” ”En!” Lin Qianyin replied. Her heart that had jumped into her throat finally calmed down, and she led Lanyu out of the chamber.

The Lin Clan was indeed worthy of being called one of the top great clans in the Imperial City. Just the size of the courtyard house was several times larger than the Lan Clan in Green Sand City.

Lin Qianyin led Lanyu to a bamboo forest. At a glance, they saw a patch of green, and two bamboo houses were faintly discernible.

”Lanyu, did you really kill the people from the Qi Family?” Lin Qianyin frowned and finally could not hold back her worry as she asked.

Lanyu smiled, her eyes falling onto the bamboo house. She solemnly said, ”Otherwise, why do you think I came to your Lin Family?”

Lin Qianyin was stunned and worriedly said, ”My father said that the entire Imperial City is under martial law. I'm afraid you won't be able to leave. Alas, it's my fault. I shouldn't have brought you to the Imperial City.”

Lanyu wasn't the least bit nervous. What was to come would eventually happen. He couldn't just keep on revealing a bitter face all day, could he? He joked, ”Why don't you welcome me to stay at your house for a few more days? It just so happens that I was planning to participate in the Groom Search Martial Meet. ”

Lin Qianyin's face turned red with embarrassment. ”Are you going to marry me back to your family in the end?”

”I'm not at ease with you falling into someone else's hands.” The truth was that Lanyu had always treated Lin Qianyin like a little girl. He didn't have any ulterior motives towards her; he wanted to participate in the Groom Search Competition because he wanted to openly obtain the Seven Star Solitary Beast Flame.

Soon, the two of them arrived in front of the bamboo house. Lin Qianyin shyly said goodbye to Lanyu, then entered the room next door. She opened the window and looked out from time to time.

Lanyu pushed open the door and entered. All the furnishings inside were almost exactly the same as the residence of the disciples of the Flowing Moon Sect's Jade Platform Peak. Seeing this, he couldn't help but faintly smile.

Lin Fan was quite considerate. These two bamboo houses were probably built specifically for Lin Qianyin.

Not too long after, servants came in to bring hot water. Lanyu took off her clothes and took a comfortable bath. Then, she sat down on the bed and began to cultivate.

After dark.

Outside, everything became very quiet. Strands of pure white light from the Spiritual Energy of the Heaven and Earth flowed into the Profound Fire Jade along a sharp cone of air. The faint light from the fire illuminated Lan Yu's chest.

Within his sea of consciousness, the tiny golden figure was practising the Mysterious Heaven Treading Spirit Art again and again.

”Phoenix Dance!”

The tiny golden figure shouted and a phoenix made entirely of flames spread its wings and soared up from the Blood Sucking Saber. It lifted its head and let out a long cry, its clear cry reverberating throughout the entire sea of consciousness.

Lanyu's lips curved up in a bitter smile.

The fourth form of the Mysterious Heaven Treading Technique was an extremely powerful long range offensive martial skill, but right now he could only watch his own practice from within the sea of consciousness.

Lan Yu quietly clenched her fists, her heart never ceasing to yearn for power.

”When I break through to the eighth level of the Martial Master realm, I will be able to barely use the Phoenix Dance Style.”

Dang! Dang! Dang!

Knocking sounds suddenly rang out.

”Lanyu, I … I have something to talk to you about.”

Lin Qianyin's beautiful and timid voice sounded.

Lanyu stopped her training and got off the bed to open the door. ”Come in.”

”No, let's go outside.” Lin Qianyin shook her head, a look of struggle on her face.

Walking between the bamboos, he could see the lights burning in the distant Lin Residence.

”What's the matter?” Lanyu turned her head. She felt that something must have happened to Lin Qianyin.

”I've thought it through.” Lin Qianyin gently smiled. In the darkness of the night, she was still as beautiful as ever.

”It's good that you've thought it through. How is your cultivation of Water Cloud Break coming along?” Lanyu nodded. She hesitated for a moment and then asked.

Lan Yu was now going to test Lin Qianyin's training results.

”It seems... ”Not much.” Actually, Lin Qianyin was already very skilled in cultivation, but she didn't seem to have any confidence in herself as she pursed her lips and said.

”Show me.”

Lanyu said.

Lin Qianyin lightly tapped her feet on the ground. Like a blooming lotus, she rose into the air, her clothes fluttering in the wind as a transparent lotus leaf appeared. She landed on top of the lotus leaf and gently shook her right hand as she shouted.
