Chapter 71: Come home with me, I’ll marry you!
Xia Yunxi’s delicate body stiffened for a moment before relaxing and softening.
She gently leaned against him and whispered, “Senior Brother, are you serious?”
“Of course. The Joyful Union Sect isn’t suitable for you. Come with me,” Lin Fengmian nodded.
“But where will I go?” Xia Yunxi looked at him tenderly.
“Come home with me. I’ll marry you!” Lin Fengmian said seriously.
Xia Yunxi stared at him dazedly and asked in a trance, “What did you say?”
Lin Fengmian looked into her eyes and said clearly, “I said come home with me, I’ll marry you. Yunxi, are you willing?”
Tears welled up in Xia Yunxi’s eyes as she showed the brightest smile Lin Fengmian had ever seen on her, laughing and crying, “I am willing.”
Lin Fengmian fumbled to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, “All right, don’t cry. We might get caught if you show any signs of distress.”
Xia Yunxi bit her red lips, wiping away her tears but unable to stop sobbing, “I’m just too happy.”
Lin Fengmian gently hugged the adorable girl and whispered, “Give me your identity jade slip. I’ll find a way to get you a boarding pass. Meet me tomorrow.”
Xia Yunxi nodded, handed over her identity jade slip, and then said, “I’ll lure them away and meet you. If I don’t show up, Senior Brother, you should leave first.”
Lin Fengmian shook his head, “I don’t want to run anymore. If you don’t come, I won’t go either. I’ll see you later.”
“But…”
Before Xia Yunxi could say anything, Lin Fengmian stopped her with a finger on her lips.
He, who had always been carefree, was unusually serious and gentle, “Wherever you are, I’ll be there. If you don’t come, I’ll return to the Joyful Union Sect. I really can’t bear to leave you behind.”
Xia Yunxi looked deeply moved and then said seriously, “Senior Brother, if I really can’t come, I hope you can go on your own.”
Lin Fengmian said calmly but firmly, “We will leave together. Once we’re on the ship, even if they chase us, it will take them a few days. I’ve already reported to the Heavenly Patrolling Guards. If they come, they’ll be walking into a trap. I doubt they’d dare to be so reckless.”
Xia Yunxi could only nod as she explained the current arrangements of the Joyful Union Sect members.
Chen Qingyan and Wang Yanran were guarding the dock, Mo Ruyu was at the city gate, and Liu Mei was watching the city lord’s mansion.
They had agreed to use communication talismans to contact each other. Xia Yunxi’s plan was to use a communication talisman to lure Chen Qingyan and Wang Yanran away, creating an opportunity for Lin Fengmian to board the ship.
Lin Fengmian frowned, “What about you?”
Xia Yunxi smiled brightly, “Senior Brother, you’re so stupid. I can ask someone else to help me with the communication talisman to lure them away.”
Lin Fengmian suddenly understood and smiled bitterly, “Right, then you should hurry to the ship dock and meet me.”
Xia Yunxi nodded softly, “Then, Senior Brother, I’ll go back first. See you tomorrow!”
Lin Fengmian nodded and watched Xia Yunxi leave before he turned and quietly walked back to the inn.
On his way back to the inn, Lin Fengmian was nervous, afraid that Liu Mei would suddenly appear behind him.
Fortunately, Liu Mei didn’t show up when he returned to the inn.
As soon as he returned to the inn, Lin Fengmian went straight to Wen Qinlin’s room and came straight to the point: “Brother Wen, I need your help.”
Wen Qinlin looked at the tense Lin Fengmian and frowned, “Brother Lin, what’s wrong? Feel free to speak.”
After a cup of tea, Lin Fengmian, Wen Qinlin, and Zhou Xiaoping sat in the room.
Lin Fengmian smiled bitterly, “Actually, I lied to you. I’m not a disciple of the Jade Tree Sect.”
Zhou Xiaoping looked at him in surprise, “What?”
Lin Fengmian confessed, “I am from the Zhao Kingdom. I was tricked into becoming a furnace for the Joyful Union Sect, and I only found an opportunity to escape a month ago.”
He recounted his experiences in detail, and then showed the VIP card he’d received from the Heavenly Patrol Tower, “Now, I’ve reported to the Heavenly Patrol Tower, and they’ve given me a VIP card.”
Lin Fengmian decided to be honest because the situation didn’t allow him to hide the truth any longer, and he was also afraid of being exposed.
Since he had already used their information to buy a ticket, it was better to be honest and gain some goodwill.
During this period of interaction, he knew that the two of them were not evil people, so he felt safe being honest.
Wen Qinlin and Zhou Xiaoping were both incredulous and could not calm down for a long time.
Zhou Xiaoping even examined Lin Fengmian from head to toe, finding it hard to believe that someone could stay in the Joyful Union Sect for three years.
Wen Qinlin also looked at Lin Fengmian strangely. No wonder she always felt that something was wrong with him.
So he was actually from the Joyful Union Sect? And an escaped furnace?
She looked at the VIP card in Lin Fengmian’s hand and asked in surprise, “That old man actually gave you a VIP card?”
Lin Fengmian looked at her strangely, “How did you know it was an old man?”
Wen Qinlin said indifferently, “I know that old man. He’s usually stingy, so it’s surprising that he gave you a VIP pass. It seems like he takes your business very seriously.”
“Is this VIP pass very valuable?” Lin Fengmian asked in surprise.
Wen Qinlin nodded, “Yes, having a VIP pass means that you’re a VIP of Heaven Patrol Tower. It makes it much easier to do things with the Heaven Patrol Tower.”
“Generally speaking, people who have this pass are either rich or noble, and it represents the attention of Heaven Patrol Tower. No one dares to mess with them.”
“The one in Brother Lin’s hand is the lowest grade, yellow level pass, but it’s still very rare.”
Lin Fengmian understood. This VIP pass was like being an insider.
“From what Brother Wen said, this pass is also graded?”
Wen Qinlin nodded, “This pass is divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow. There are also internal levels within the Heavenly Patrol Tower, but outsiders can’t see them.”
Lin Fengmian nodded, sincerely admiring, “Brother Wen is indeed well informed!”
Wen Qinlin shook his head and asked curiously, “Brother Lin , you said you needed my help. What is it?”
“The people from the Joyful Union Sect have caught up with me and are looking for me in the city.
There are also people guarding the port,” Lin Fengmian said truthfully.
Wen Qinlin frowned, “Since Brother Lin has applied for a VIP pass, why not let the Heaven Patrolling Guards handle it? That old man may be unreliable, but his strength is still good.”
Lin Fengmian said helplessly, “I don’t want to involve the Heaven Patrolling Guards. I want to take someone with me. Because of her, I can’t let the Heaven Patrolling Guards catch the members of the Joyful Union Sect.”
He briefly explained his situation with Xia Yunxi before concluding, “It’s not that I don’t trust the Heaven Patrolling Guards. I’m just afraid that she might fall into their hands.”
Wen Qinlin couldn’t help but frown, he looked at Lin Fengmian hesitantly, and finally smiled bitterly, “Brother Lin , she’s from the Joyful Union Sect. Do you really want to take her with you?”
