“Regarding this, do you have any doubts?”
Lin Jing had anticipated this outcome and thus did not offer any defense.
“No, I comply with the Sect’s decision,” Lin Jing bowed and said.
Manager Li nodded, waved his hand, and said, “You go back and pack up. You’ll depart the mountain tomorrow.”
Lin Jing bowed, “Manager Li, I take my leave.”
Having said that, he prepared to leave.
“Wait.”
Just then, a voice came.
Lin Jing looked up and saw that it was that Inner Sect Disciple, responsible for overseeing the Spirit Rice confiscation, who had spoken.
Manager Li looked at him in surprise, not understanding why he would speak up at this moment, and hastily reminded him,
“Senior Han, he has been expelled from the Sect, this is the decision of the Sect Elders, the matter is settled, you mustn’t be confused.”
The Inner Sect Disciple’s expression remained indifferent as he spoke to Manager Li, “Junior Brother Li, you worry too much.”
Then, he turned his head, staring intently at Lin Jing, as if carefully observing him.
Made uncomfortable by his gaze, Lin Jing thought carefully and realized he did not know this Senior Han, and he did not understand why the other was staring at him.
After a long while, Senior Han finally asked,
“Your name is Lin Jing?”
Lin Jing bowed in response, “Yes, Senior Brother.”
Lin Jing’s earlier status was just as a spiritual farmer, but he was still a menial Disciple of the Qingyuan Sword Sect, so addressing the Inner Sect Disciple as ‘Senior Brother’ was not inappropriate.
Although he had now been expelled from the Qingyuan Sword Sect, he had no better address at the moment, so he still chose to call him Senior Brother.
Senior Han did not object, and continued to ask, “Do you recognize Lin Yue?”
Lin Jing was taken aback and hastily replied, “Returning to Senior Brother, Lin Yue is indeed my father.”
Senior Han nodded and then said,
“The road down the mountain is often frequented by Demonic Beasts, which is very dangerous. It happens that I need to go down the mountain tomorrow. Come here early in the morning tomorrow, and you can go down with me.”
Hearing this, Manager Li hurriedly tried to dissuade him, “Senior Han, he is just a Disciple who has been expelled from the Sect. Just letting him go down the mountain is enough, why would you bother to personally escort him?”
Senior Han, looking at Lin Jing, said softly, “I had an old connection with his father. As the son of an acquaintance, naturally I cannot allow anything to happen to him right under my nose.”
“So it is, Senior Han is indeed a man of great loyalty and sentiment.”
Manager Li said with a smile,
“Why would Senior Han need to concern himself with such a matter?”
“In that case, I shall personally take him down the mountain tomorrow. I know some people in the Fang Market at the foot of the mountain. I can ask someone to help him with a place to stay, and incidentally find him some work.”
“This would also fulfill Senior Han’s sentiment, would it not be wonderful?”
Senior Han listened but did not reply; instead, he turned his head, his gaze intense, staring fiercely at Manager Li.
Manager Li, made extremely uncomfortable by his gaze, forced a couple of dry laughs and said,
“Senior Han, is there something inappropriate?”
Only then did Senior Han speak, “Junior Brother Li, you work so hard, there’s no need to trouble yourself. The Demonic Beasts at the foot of the mountain are ferocious, I fear you might not be able to fend them off.”
“I would not want the son of an old friend to come to harm.”
“Junior Brother Li.”
“Do you…understand?”
Staring into Senior Han’s pressing gaze, a flicker of panic passed through Manager Li’s eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
He then bowed to Senior Han, saying,
“Such sentiment from Senior Han truly commands my admiration.”
After speaking, Manager Li turned his head and said to Lin Jing,
“Lin Jing, as Senior Han will take you down the mountain tomorrow, you should thank Senior Han now.”
