Chapter 710: Wang Yan (2/2)

Lin Dong frowned deeply. His eyes flickered for a moment, before he suddenly spoke, “Is it because of the… Hall Competition?”

“Perhaps… it might be what comes after the Hall Competition… the Great Sect Competition.” Ying Huanhuan replied somewhat bitterly.

“The champion of the Hall Competition will become the commander of all the participating disciples from the Dao Sect in the upcoming Great Sect Competition… senior brother Wang Yan… might have returned this time because he wants to borrow the strength of the Dao Sect to take revenge on the Yuan Gate during the Great Sect Competition…”

Lin Dong sighed deeply. This fellow…

“Senior brother Wang Yan is prejudiced and indifferent. If we follow his ways, it would definitely lead to the death of more disciples.” Ying Huanhuan said. As she such a conclusion crossed her mind, Ying Huanhuan looked as if she was about to cry. This was the first time Lin Dong had seen this lively yet deeply stubborn young lady reveal such an expression.

Seeing her expression, Lin Dong fell silent. He had only been a disciple of the Dao Sect for a short period of time and there were many things he was not aware of. Therefore, after the sudden appearance of senior brother Wang Yan, even he felt a little unprepared.

“There’s no need to worry too much about it. Maybe senior brother Wang Yan returned this time without such thoughts in mind.” Lin Dong consoled after softly sighing. Right now, the only thing he could do was to console her.

“I want to see him. Will you to accompany me?” Ying Huanhuan said as she looked towards Lin Dong. Lin Dong could see a trace of rarely seen timidness in her big eyes. It seemed that she was actually a little afraid of senior brother Wang Yan.

“Let’s go.”

At this moment, there was no longer anything for Lin Dong to say as he nodded his head. This sudden matter caused his heart to feel somewhat heavy. After all, if such a matter was not managed well, it would result in a war between two super sects.

After seeing Lin Dong nod his head, a trace of gratefulness flashed past Ying Huanhuan’s eyes. She proceeded to twist her lovely body and shot forward, while Lin Dong closely followed behind.

On the platform, the gray-robed male carrying a greatsword with hair draped over his shoulders, finally walked to the top of the stone stairs. The original clamour that was present on the platform instantly turned disappeared as everyone stared at the familiar yet foreign figure.

The man’s numb and indifferent gaze swept past the bodies of the Dao Sect disciples. There was not much fluctuation within them as this happened. He proceeded to raise his leg again and walked forward with a speed that was neither hurried nor slow.

As he walked forward, the crowd on the platform immediately split apart to form a path for him. A few experienced disciples watched the man with their mouths ajar and complicated expressions on their faces. Upon seeing this, a few newer Dao Sect disciples wanted to speak out. However, their mouths were immediately covered by their senior brothers and sisters standing near them.

The gray-robed man seemingly did not notice the weird atmosphere as he continued to walk along the path. After quite a while, his footsteps finally came to a stop as he looked at a slender and elegant young lady in from of him. At this moment, a small light gathered in his numb eyes.

“You’re Huanhuan, you have actually grown up to be so beautiful…”

The gray-robed man stared at the young lady before him. His almost emotionless face seemed to twitch for a moment. However, in the end, a smile did not appear. Instead, an exceptionally rough voice slowly emerged from his mouth.

The young lady walked up as her large eyes gazed upon the gray-robed man face, which covered in stubbles and scars. She could not resist but feel a sour feeling at the tip of her nose. She truly was somewhat unable to imagine how a person, who was so bright and brilliant like the sun and a big brother to them all in the past, could turn into this.

“Senior brother Wang Yan, you’ve finally returned. Big sis and I really missed you.” Ying Huanhuan replied with a forced smile, while trying to resist the sour feeling on the tip of her nose.

The gray-robed man looked towards the young girl for a moment, before shaking his head, “You have been very intelligent since young. You should know why I’ve returned.”

“Tell Xiaoxiao that I will show no mercy during the Hall Competition.”

The gray-robed man’s rough and cold voice slowly descended, before he reached out his hand, seemingly wanting to pat Ying Huanhuan’s shoulders. However he suddenly stopped and gently withdrew his hand, before he walked past the young girl.

Ying Huanhuan’s eyes immediately turned red.
