Chapter 245 (1/2)

<hr>

If Lin Xuanzhi heard Tong Le right now, he would certainly burst out laughing.

He was not weak, nor was he someone who could be easily bullied by others. In the past, he was only proud and disdained interacting with rascals and thieves. As long as his bottom line wasn’t touched, he didn’t bother wasting words and energy arguing.

Lin Xuanzhi became the head of the Profound Sky Four Swords not only because of his talent, but also through his own efforts.

Lin Xuanzhi could be called a sword fanatic. He wasn’t so much fond of cultivation as he was obsessed with cultivating the sword path. The sword was his wife, his son, his everything. He devoted all his time and experience studying the ways of the sword without reservation and would not relax for even a moment.

But how could he expect that people like Tong Le who didn’t know much about Lin Xuanzhi would treat his indifference as weakness and cowardice?

It was a great joke!

After all, Du Qiying and Lin Xuanzhi studied under the same master, so he had a lot of contact with him on the everyday and knew Lin Xuanzhi better than Tong Le.

Du Qiying looked pale and uncertain. He ground his teeth together and said with a dark face, “You know s.h.i.+t. Lin Xuanzhi has never been a soft persimmon. Moreover, at the Hundred Families Gathering, he was in the limelight this time. He made friends with many disciples of big families and even the Bai family favors him. His backers are much stronger than before.”

“. Who can control whom?” Tong Le still didn’t take Lin Xuanzhi too seriously.

No matter how powerful Lin Xuanzhi was, didn’t he still suffer a disaster back then? He endured bitter losses and almost couldn’t recover again after merely one stumble.

If he could fall the first time, then he could fall a second or a third time.

Tong Le’s jealousy was strong. He didn’t have any good impressions of Lin Xuanzhi and even felt some indescribable hatred against him, especially when he found out that Lin Xuanzhi had awakened his craftsman soulfire and could easily craft powerful magical weapons. His jealousy became even more severe and he vented it by showing his contempt and disdain for Lin Xuanzhi.

Du Qiying was not optimistic and he shook his head, “The man who invited him to the mountain this time is the Peak Master of Sinking Sword Peak.”

The Peak Master of Sinking Sword Peak was a strange man. He never played by the cards according to common sense and his whole being was always shrouded in mystery. People couldn’t help but want to avoid him. It was said that he was related to a family that could look into the heavens and divine the future.

Most importantly, even the Sect Master of Profound Sky Sect claimed that he couldn’t control this person.

If Lin Xuanzhi followed him …

Du Qiying’s face grew dark once more.

Tong Le thought for a moment and then said, “There’s another way to control Lin Xuanzhi.”

With a proud smile, Tong Le told him, “. Lin Xuanzhi’s seven inches is a person with an extremely ugly appearance. “

Du Qiying also thought of a sinister trick, “If we controlled Yan Tianhen in our hands, and let the Broken Sword Peak accept him …”

“Then, Lin Xuanzhi will dare not act rashly anymore.” Tong Le finished for Du Qiying.

Du Qiying laughed for a moment. He pinched Tong Le’s face in front of him, saying, “Your mind is still good. If you were born in a good family, your achievements would definitely be much higher than they are now.”

Tong Le was quite gifted in crafting weapons but his childhood life was rough. His parents died when he was young so he was often beaten and scolded by his uncle and aunt. When Tong Le was twelve years old, he was taken to Profound Sky Sect by the Peak Master of Thousand Hammer Peak who would pa.s.s by occasionally. From then on, he rose through the ranks and made friends with many disciples of influential families in Profound Sky Sect. However, he did not come from an influential family after all. When he first came to the sect, he was suppressed by these aristocratic disciples everywhere. Even now, Tong Le still failed to fully integrate himself into the circle of the most elite families, and his entourage was comprised of mostly branch family members. A real main branch son of a big family like Yuan Tianwen, who was a young master from a second generation of immortals, would never put Tong Le in his eyes.

Du Qiying’s words touched Tong Le’s sore spot and he froze a little. He secretly hated these disciples from distinguished families who could get everything they wanted without any effort. At the same time, he was even more indignant with Lin Xuanzhi.

Tong Le smiled awkwardly, “Don’t I still have you? With you, what more background do I need? Wouldn’t it be unnecessary?”

Du Qiying listened to his words and nodded, “Yes, you just have to take good care of me and when I become the Sect Master of Profound Sky Sect, you will benefit a lot. “

Tong Le smiled, “Of course.”

The two were soon entangled.

As the sun rose high and far in the sky, the gates of Sky Peak City were wide open. Aristocratic families filed out one after another, some flying through the sky while others ran on the ground. Their Luan birds and steeds looked valiant and heroic, making the scene truly spectacular.

The Lin family’s horses and chariots were among them. Today was the day when most of the aristocratic families would leave Sky Peak City. Many cultivators stood on both sides of the city to bid them farewell.

Lin Yan would not return to Qing City with them and instead would travel directly to the North Continent with an elder from the Heavenly Fire Sect. Lin Xuanzhi gave him many life-saving magical weapons before he left. Lin Yan was specially instructed to contact him if he encountered any problems in Heavenly Fire Sect.

After bidding Ji Yunwei goodbye five miles outside of the city gate, the Lin family raced towards the East with full power.

Their return could be considered a great victory, as if they were bringing glorious honor to one’s hometown.
