Chapter 235 - Chapter 235: Chapter 226: Meeting Senior Han Again (2/2)

For Lin Jing to have survived in the Fang Market at the foot of the mountain these past few years was already quite an accomplishment.

In terms of his cultivation, he could, at most, have improved to the third level of Qi Refinement.

But he never expected…

Lin Jing had actually made a breakthrough to the eighth level of Qi Refinement in one go.

For someone with the talent of a Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root, this was truly defying the heavens.

“This is a long story, we’ll talk about it later…”

After finishing, Lin Jing looked towards Senior Yue.

At this moment…

Senior Yue finally found a chance to join the conversation.

“Senior Han, you… know each other?”

Senior Yue asked, pointing at Lin Jing.

Han Jing nodded and then said:

“This is Lin Jing, to put it in a way, he can be considered a junior brother of mine.”

“His father was once a disciple of Qingyuan Sword Sect, and he had helped me a lot…”

After speaking, Han Jing turned towards Senior Yue and asked:

“Senior Yue…”

“When I was inside just now, it seemed like there was an argument. May I know what that was about?”

Faced with Han Jing’s inquiry, Senior Yue, without a hint of embarrassment or skipping a beat, blurted out:

“Junior Han, it seems you must have heard wrong.”

“Just now…”

“I was introducing the Cleansing Spirit Ground to Junior Lin. Maybe I was a bit loud, which led you to mistake it for an argument.”

After speaking.

Senior Yue took out the token he had taken from Lin Jing and handed it back to him, adding:

“Junior Lin…”

“This token is the key to open the cave abode, you must keep it safe.”

Senior Yue’s actions were not due to fear of Han Jing.

Rather.

Provoking Han Jing without cause would be extremely disadvantageous to himself.

Even if this was all for earning a favor from the Young Master of the Yun Family…

If the matter was not handled well and it brought trouble upon himself, the loss would outweigh the gain.

So.

After much deliberation, he decided to actively reconcile with Lin Jing.

At this time, Han Jing also asked Lin Jing:

“Is that so?”

Lin Jing pondered for a moment…

Seeing Lin Jing remaining silent, Senior Yue’s heart skipped a beat, and his eyebrows furrowed tightly:

“Could he really think that I’m afraid? Does he intend to pick a fight?”

However, Lin Jing did not ponder for too long. After a short while, he nodded and said:

“It’s exactly as Senior Yue said, he was just informing me about the Cleansing Spirit Ground.”

“Thank you, Senior Yue.”

After speaking, Lin Jing even gave Senior Yue a fist salute.

Seeing Lin Jing being so cooperative, Senior Yue relaxed too and returned the gesture, saying:

“Not at all…”

“Junior Lin, you’re too polite…”

Seeing the two being so harmonious, Han Jing nodded and said:

“So that’s it…”

“It seems I really heard wrong.”

After speaking, Han Jing glanced at the jade token in Lin Jing’s hand and then spoke again:

“Lin Jing…”

“Come, let me have a look at your token…”

Lin Jing still trusted Han Jing very much.

He immediately handed the token to Han Jing.

Han Jing took the token and began examining it.

A moment later, after having looked it over…

He returned the token to Lin Jing and then said to Senior Yue:

“Senior Yue…”

“I know that guarding the entrance can be quite busy. Lin Jing is my junior brother; let me take him into the cave abode, so you won’t be troubled anymore…”

After hearing this, Senior Yue nodded:

“That would be good indeed, then I’ll leave it to you, Junior Han.”

“Both of you, if you’ll excuse me…”

After speaking.

Senior Yue gave them a fist salute and turned around, walking back the way he came.

However…

No sooner had Senior Yue walked past the entrance than his expression grew dark, and he said fiercely:

“Liu Yiyuan, I’ll remember you…”
