Chapter 400: Senior Brother, Are You Done?
Before entering the house, Lin Fengmian used the Thousand Illusions Technique to revert to his original appearance so as not to startle his family.
With a sense of guilt, he said to Lin Wencheng, Li Zhuxuan, and Song Youwei, “Father, Mother, Sister Youwei, I might have to leave soon.”
Lin Wencheng and the others didn’t expect him to leave so soon. Remembering the voice that echoed throughout the city half an hour ago, they felt uneasy.
Li Zhuxuan asked with concern, “Mian’er, are you involved with that Joyful Union Sect? Will you be alright?”
Lin Fengmian shook his head. “Don’t worry too much, Father, Mother. It has nothing to do with me. I just don’t want to get involved.”
Lin Wencheng and the others were skeptical, but also worried that staying might put him in danger. Reluctantly, they nodded.
“Fengmian, you are an adult and have your own thoughts. If you believe it’s the right thing to do, then go ahead,” Lin Wencheng said with resignation.
Li Zhuxuan hugged him tightly. “Mian’er, if you get tired of wandering, come back home.”
Lin Fengmian nodded and then took out the beauty pills and explained their effects.
When Li Zhuxuan and Song Youwei heard that the pills could prevent aging and prolong life, they were overjoyed. However, upon learning how precious they were, they hesitated to take them.
Lin Wencheng even said bluntly that as a man, he didn’t need such things.
“You should take them. They’re not as rare as you think. I can get more in the future,” Lin Fengmian assured them.
Hearing this, the three of them finally took the pills.
Seeing Song Youwei gazing at Lin Fengmian with deep affection, Li Zhuxuan pulled away the oblivious Lin Wencheng, leaving the two of them alone.
Although Song Youwei was shy, she didn’t reject their kind intentions.
She looked at Lin Fengmian reluctantly and stepped forward to hug him tightly. “You will come back to find me, right?”
A vague sense of foreboding filled her heart.
She felt that after Lin Fengmian left, it would be a long time before he returned to see her.
Lin Fengmian cupped her face and looked seriously into her eyes. “I will. Even if I have to crawl back from the dead.”
Song Youwei bit her red lips. “If you don’t come back, I will hate you for the rest of my life.”
Lin Fengmian nodded and kissed her deeply, holding her tightly.
No longer caring about being reserved, Song Youwei closed her eyes and passionately embraced him, tears streaming down her cheeks.
After what seemed like an eternity, the kiss ended. Lin Fengmian looked at her and gently wiped away her tears.
“Sister Youwei, wait for me to come back.”
Song Youwei softly leaned against his chest and nodded. “The next time you come back, I’ll make tofu for you.”
Lin Fengmian smiled. “Alright!”
He sat down with Song Youwei in his arms, not rushing to do anything else, just sharing their feelings of longing.
Half an hour later, Wang Yanran, now dressed in fresh clothes, walked into the courtyard and nodded to Liu Mei.
Liu Mei smiled charmingly and called into the room, “Senior Brother, are you done?”
Lin Fengmian, who was still fully dressed, pushed open the door and replied, “What do you mean, ‘done’? You’re so wicked!”
Song Youwei, who had been teased a bit, looked shy and embarrassed, making Liu Mei giggle as she kept glancing between the two of them.
Lin Fengmian was afraid that she might say something inappropriate, so he turned to Wang Yanran. “Senior Sister, I need to entrust my parents to your care.”
Wang Yanran nodded. Lin Fengmian then took out a jade slip from his storage ring, placed it against his forehead, and used his divine sense to inscribe something on it before handing it over.
“Elder sister, this is a cultivation method I found. Since it doesn’t suit me, I’ll give it to you, hoping it can be of help.”
This was a technique that he had obtained a thousand years ago. Noticing that it suited Wang Yanran, he had memorized it.
With curiosity, Wang Yanran took the jade slip and examined it. She found that the cultivation technique was indeed perfectly suited for her and was exceptionally profound, clearly a high-level skill.
She smiled charmingly. “Then I won’t stand on ceremony. Thank you, Junior Brother Lin.”
“Senior Sister, what are you talking about? Between us, there’s no need for thanks.”
Lin Fengmian turned back, reluctantly looked at his parents and Song Youwei, and then quickly left.
At this moment, his desire to become more powerful was stronger than ever. He never wanted to experience the feeling of being controlled by fate again.
When I become powerful, anyone who tries to control my fate will be destroyed!
Unfortunately, even though he had Core Formation Realm cores in his possession, he didn’t dare to use them to enhance his strength.
Jun Wuxie was only at the fourth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm. If he surpassed that, it would be suicide.
Lin Fengmian left the house with Liu Mei, while Chen Qingyan and the barely conscious Cao Cheng’an waited outside.
Cao Cheng’an was now a mess, covered in blood, barely breathing, and looking dazed.
When he saw Lin Fengmian and the others approaching, he weakly begged for mercy. “Don’t come any closer… I’m sorry… I was wrong…”
Lin Fengmian grabbed him, sealed his six senses, and made it so that he couldn’t perceive his surroundings.
Among the spoils of war, Lin Fengmian found a flying boat and quickly left with Liu Mei and the others.
“Senior Sisters, put your hands on my back. I’ll pilot the flying boat.”
Chen Qingyan and the others didn’t hesitate. Each of them placed a hand on his back, and once again, they felt their spiritual energy being drawn out.
The flying boat, infused with the spiritual energy of the three, shot through the air like a bolt of lightning.
“Little rascal, your technique is truly extraordinary. It can even absorb our spiritual energy for your own use!” Liu Mei praised.
Lin Fengmian smiled. “This is my biggest secret. Please keep it between us, senior sisters.”
Liu Mei giggled. “Then you’d better treat me well and make me feel comfortable. Otherwise…”
“Alright, alright! When we get back, I’ll give it my all, not even holding back a drop!”
Lin Fengmian patted his chest, his eyes constantly scanning Liu Mei’s alluring figure, feeling a bit restless.
Liu Mei gave him a playful glare, her eyes already moist.
Fortunately, unlike the reserved ice queen beside her, she hadn’t practiced any Heartache Techniques.
Chen Qingyan, unaware of Liu Mei’s thoughts about her, looked at the direction they were flying and frowned slightly.
“Junior brother, this direction doesn’t seem to be towards the Joyful Union Sect?”
Lin Fengmian nodded. “No, but it will lead us back to the Joyful Union Sect.”
He explained Zhao Ningzhi’s teleportation array to them and repeatedly urged them to keep it a secret.
Although Zhao Ningzhi had instructed that only he could use it, Lin Fengmian knew that he wouldn’t be able to shake off a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator with just his own strength.
So, he had no choice but to bring Liu Mei and Chen Qingyan along with him. He trusted them to keep the secret.
“If nothing goes wrong, at our current speed, we should reach the teleportation array before our pursuer catches up.”
Lin Fengmian smiled. “Once we’re back at the Joyful Union Sect, they won’t be able to do anything to us.”
Based on his understanding of the speed of Nascent Soul Realm and Core Formation Realm cultivators, they should be able to return to the Joyful Union Sect with ease.
Chen Qingyan finally understood and smiled wryly. “I thought we were facing a perilous journey, but it turns out to be a shortcut back to the sect.”
Lin Fengmian shook his head. “Senior Sister, why do you say that? I’m very grateful that you took the risk to come with me.”
“After all, anything can happen. This might not be a shortcut back to the sect, but a shortcut to the underworld.”
Chen Qingyan smiled. “I trust you, junior brother.”
Liu Mei looked at the two of them and pouted in dissatisfaction. “Alright, you two, stop flattering each other.”
“The way you two are looking at each other with such deep affection, I almost want to give you some space to ignite your passion.”
