Chapter 658 (1/2)
Chapter 658: Chapter 282: Return to Li Yan Island_2 Chapter 658: Chapter 282: Return to Li Yan Island_2 Even Ye Yun was no exception.
Initially, when pursued by the old ancestor of the Nanming Immortal Sect, Lin Jing only messaged Ye Yun that he had encountered a powerful enemy and asked him to tell Li Qingqing to take the Li Family back to Li Yan Island for temporary refuge.
Ye Yun trusted Lin Jing implicitly, and upon receiving the message, immediately relayed it to Li Qingqing.
Afterward, he and Li Qingqing together led the Li Family away.
Even the Li Family’s businesses were temporarily set aside at that time.
It wasn’t until several years later when Ye Yun met Lin Jing again and learned that the crisis was over that the Li Family sent people back to sell off all their properties in Nanshan Immortal City, leaving only the Li Family’s ancestral home.
…
Following that,
Lin Jing again asked Zhang Jian:
“What about you?”
“Earlier you said you were lucky, did something unexpected happen during your tribulation?”
Zhang Jian nodded, still shaken:
“Everything was prepared for the tribulation, and at first, nothing unusual happened.”
“But later, a damned demon cultivator tried to disturb my tribulation, wanting me to perish in the Heavenly Tribulation.”

I thought I was done for.”
“Fortunately, a Nascent Soul demon cultivator appeared and took action to eliminate that demon cultivator for me.”
“That allowed me to successfully undergo the tribulation.”
“If it weren’t for that demon cultivator, I would probably have perished under the Heavenly Tribulation.”
After hearing this, Lin Jing was somewhat incredulous:
“From what you’re saying, you don’t seem to recognize that demon cultivator?”
Zhang Jian shook his head, saying:
“I don’t recognize him.”
“At first, I thought he was a demon cultivator I had seen before, but the two of them are nothing alike, even their cultivation techniques are different.”
“His demonic techniques were very strange, it was the first time I had seen them, and after he eliminated that demon cultivator, he just left.”
“It seems he had a grudge against that demon cultivator and came specifically to kill him.”
Lin Jing pondered for a moment, then suddenly understood.
It’s highly possible that this demon cultivator was still Li Tanyu.
After all, being a demon cultivator who doesn’t kill is already rare, let alone one who would step forward to help a stranger.
Previously, because of that trade meeting, Lin Jing was trapped in the Devouring Spirit Blood Realm and trouble arose on Li Yan Island, it was Li Tanyu who attempted to help.
And at that time, he had fought side by side with Zhang Jian.
This time Zhang Jian’s tribulation might have been because Lin Jing couldn’t return on time due to an accident, so Li Qingqing had sought out Li Tanyu to help Zhang Jian with his tribulation.
And Li Tanyu probably didn’t want to be recognized by Zhang Jian, so he changed his appearance.
As for whether it was actually Li Tanyu,
one only needed to ask Li Qingqing, or ask Li Tanyu directly.
However, that affair had already passed.
Next, Lin Jing didn’t continue to inquire further.
Instead, he flew towards Li Yan Island together with the two.
Soon, they returned to the northern part of Li Yan Island, to Lin Jing’s courtyard home.
Having not returned for a long time, the courtyard remained spotless.
Clearly, someone had been cleaning regularly.
Afterward, Lin Jing led Zhang Jian and Yue Qiniang into the courtyard.
…
Upon Lin Jing’s return, Lin Jue and Ye Yun received the news and immediately rushed over.
“Brother!”
“Master!”
Both spoke in unison.
Lin Jing looked at the two.
Ye Yun was as usual.
But Lin Jue had changed a lot during this time.

Perhaps because she had been helping Yue Qiniang manage Li Yan Island, the current Lin Jue, no longer as impetuous, appeared much more composed.
However, having not seen Lin Jing again for twenty years, Lin Jue was still unable to suppress her excitement.
Lin Jing smiled at Lin Jue:
“You’ve grown up, and become much steadier.”
Lin Jue smiled back, saying:
“Of course I had to grow up, I can’t always rely on brother, I must share his burdens.”
At this moment, Zhang Jian also spoke:
“Lin Jue.”
“As a sibling, having this realization is good…”
If outsiders were present, Lin Jue always appeared as a man, even Zhang Jian did not know that Lin Jue was actually a woman.
Not just Zhang Jian, even Yue Qiniang did not know.
The only ones now aware were Lin Jing, Ye Yun, and Li Qingqing, and it seemed Lin Jue currently had no intentions of revealing this.
Regarding this matter, Lin Jing would follow Lin Jue’s wishes.
