Chapter 38: Ah, My Chest Feels A Bit Stuffy, Would You Mind Coming Over Tonight To Take A Look, Master Lin?
However, Lin Fengmian noticed that the other two scallions were also getting restless.
It seemed that after a night of contemplation, they had finally realized something.
Lin Fengmian heaved a sigh. With people disappearing for several days in a row, it was strange that they hadn’t noticed that something was wrong.
However, the number of people who came the next day was more than he had expected. Because of the commotion the day before, there were not only young adults, but also parents bringing their children.
The scene was too chaotic, and the City Lord’s Manor had to send more people to maintain order. In the end, even Liu Mei and others had to come out to conduct spiritual tests for the citizens.
The beautiful women who were recruiting disciples were mobbed by the people, which reduced the pressure on Lin Fengmian and the others.
Suddenly, Lin Fengmian noticed that the crowd around him had thinned out, and he saw that it was the City Lord’s wife, accompanied by her daughter, who had arrived.
She took a basket from her maid and walked elegantly to Lin Fengmian’s side, smiling sweetly: “Master Lin, I’ve prepared some snacks and tea for you. Please have some and take a break.”
Lin Fengmian smiled and said: “Thank you, City Lord’s Wife. You’re too kind. Just leave it here, it’s fine.”
The City Lord’s wife personally arranged the tea and snacks on the table, revealing her cleavage, causing Lin Fengmian’s eyes to widen.
She looked at him intensely and insinuated: “Master Lin, don’t forget, okay?”
Knowing her intention, Lin Fengmian lowered his voice and said: “It’s already taken care of, don’t worry about it.”
The City Lord’s wife’s eyes sparkled and she looked around before whispering: “Thank you, Master Lin. My chest feels stuffy again, would you mind coming over tonight to take a look?”
Lin Fengmian couldn’t help but laugh inwardly. It seemed like the “treatment” from the day before hadn’t worked, or else why would her chest be stuffy again?
He replied with a hint of innuendo: “All right, I’ll definitely visit you tonight and take a good look.”
The City Lord’s wife’s face flushed, and she nodded: “I will await your arrival, Master Lin.”
Just then, a commotion erupted outside, startling the two of them.
Someone outside pointed to the sky and shouted: “Look, another immortal!”
Lin Fengmian rushed out of the tent and saw several streaks of light descending from the sky, clearly cultivators.
The two Scallions exchanged a puzzled look, but Lin Fengmian’s heart skipped a beat.
Who were these people?
Only six streaks of light fell onto the square, and they were six monks in Buddhist robes.
The leader of the monks asked loudly, “I am Fa Hui from Yang Spring Temple. Which sect’s cultivator are you?”
Liu Mei hurriedly came out and bowed, “I am Liu Mei from the Jade Tree Sect, and my fellow cultivators are here to receive disciples.”
Seeing the beautiful and charming Liu Mei, some of the six monks’ eyes moved slightly and they looked at her a few more times.
With a man’s intuition, Lin Fengmian felt that their gaze was not friendly.
The leader of the monks asked, “Could the venerable one please call your fellow cultivators?”
“These are the high-ranking monks from Yang Spring Temple? Why don’t you pay your respects?”
Lin Fengmian and the others quickly bowed to show their respect, and the six monks returned the bow as well, their eyes scanning Lin Fengmian and the others with a hint of scrutiny.
Lin Fengmian thought to himself, “Should I reveal their identities and then make a run for it?” But as soon as the thought crossed his mind, he remembered Dong Gaoyi’s fate and swallowed his words.
His own poison was still unresolved, and he didn’t want to do something stupid and end up dying without knowing how. Besides, the gaze of the monks from Yang Spring Temple made him feel uncomfortable, as if they were looking at him like prey.
Fa Hui asked Liu Mei, “Do you have your identity tokens? Can you show them to me?”
Among the five women, Mo Ruyu was the most irascible. She stood out and frowned, saying, “What is the meaning of this, friend Fa Hui?”
Fa Hui smiled apologetically. “My apologies, fellow cultivators. Recently, the Joyful Union sect has been causing trouble in the Northern Abyss, kidnapping young men and draining their life force.”
“Our temple takes this matter seriously, and we’ve been sent to investigate. It’s just a routine check, and we hope you’ll understand.”
Upon hearing this, the two scallions turned pale and their faces showed signs of panic.
Mo Ruyu stood up, her voice loud and angry. “What do you mean?”
Liu Mei’s heart skipped a beat, but she smiled and handed over a crystal token. “Don’t worry, we are from the Jade Tree Sect, and this is our token.”
Fa Hui examined the token carefully and returned it with a bow. “I apologize for the misunderstanding. Please don’t mind us.”
One of the monks whispered to Fa Hui, “Master, those three men looked suspicious.”
Fa Hui nodded blankly and asked Lin Fengmian and the others, “Could you please show us your identity tokens?”
Lin Fengmian took out the prepared crystal token and handed it to the two monks behind him. “What’s wrong, why are you two still hesitating?”
Fa Hui checked Lin Fengmian’s crystal token again and found no problems. “Recently, the Joyful Union Sect has been causing trouble, harming many men by draining their life force. It’s a terrible sight. You three should be careful.”
The two scallions were about to say something, but Lin Fengmian stood up and smiled. “Thanks for reminding us, Master. We’ve already heard about it. We’ll be careful.”
Fa Hui was still not convinced and asked, “You three are new to the sect, right? I’ve heard that the Jade Tree Sect is skilled in sword techniques. Have you three learned any?”
Liu Mei and the others were taken aback and silently cursed these monks for being too thorough. They had prepared to fight and escape, but they hadn’t expected to be questioned about their sword techniques.
Crystal tokens could be forged, but how could they know their sword techniques? Even those who had taught them the Five Elements Technique were incompetent.
Besides, who knew when those two scallions would turn against them?
Mo Ruyu and Wang Yanran were getting restless, while Xia Yunxi’s face was tense, her hands clenched into fists.
Chen Qingyan stepped forward, her expression cold and distant. “You people are rude. Do you still suspect us of being the demon women of the Joyful Union Sect?”
She drew her sword and said, “You are so rude. Do you think the Jade Tree sect has no one worthy of respect?”
The monks were astonished by Chen Qingyan’s cold and beautiful demeanor. They began to doubt their own judgment.
Was it possible for the Joyful Union Sect to have a woman as beautiful and skilled as Chen Qingyan?
Had they misjudged them?
