Chapter 250: 234

Hearing Chen Yuan’s words, Xu Caiyue froze on the spot, a chill rushing from her feet to the top of her head, causing her hairs to stand on end.

Indeed, how could she allow her child to be born without a father?

If she, an unmarried maiden, were to give birth alone, wouldn’t she be cursed to death in the future? The child would also be called a bastard.

And Brother Lin, he loved her so much, he would rather die than reveal anything about her, how could she abandon him?

They had promised to be together until they grew old…

With these thoughts in mind, Xu Caiyue gradually clenched her fist under her sleeve. She had heard from her father about the Lock Dragon Well, although it was a forbidden land of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, there was actually nothing inside.

It was just a prohibition passed down by the ancestors against outsiders entering.

Since there were no treasures, there naturally wouldn’t be any harm to the Dragon and Tiger Sect, so letting this guy in seems… seems not impossible.

At this moment, Xu Caiyue began to comfort herself.

If not for this, she really had no other option. She had to save Brother Lin’s life; she couldn’t let her child be born without a father.

Watching the slight change in Xu Caiyue’s expression, Chen Yuan’s mouth unconsciously curled into a smile:

“Miss Xu, am I right?”

After a moment of silence, Xu Caiyue lifted her head up, looking very seriously at Chen Yuan and said:

“I can help you, but I need to see Brother Lin first. Also, what if you go back on your word after I help you in?”

“Don’t worry about that. I’ve always been a man of my word, and besides, as long as I get what I want, why would I want to become enemies with the Dragon and Tiger Sect?”

“After all, there is no feud between us.”

While speaking, Chen Yuan couldn’t help but smile, thinking of Zhao Nanshan.

“All right, remember your words. If you go back on them afterwards, I will make sure you regret deceiving me!” Xu Caiyue threatened Chen Yuan.

But little did she know, Chen Yuan sneered inwardly; in this world, there was no one who could make him regret his actions.

“Come on, let’s have someone take you to see your Brother Lin now.”

Having achieved his goal, Chen Yuan naturally would not waste any more words on this foolish woman. He pushed open the door, gestured with a wave of his hand for Yan Qing to take Xu Caiyue to see Lin Feng, who was detained in another civilian house.

When she saw the tortured, unrecognizable Lin Feng, Xu Caiyue could no longer bear it. She threw herself on him, tears in her eyes, and with a choked voice she said:

“Brother Lin, why are you so foolish.”

“It’s a pity that they have mesmerized your Divine Soul and dragged you into this as well.” Lin Feng appeared to be deeply affectionate, but he cursed the people from Yue Shan to death in his heart.

He had confessed to everything, yet they still tormented him like this, just to get Xu Caiyue to work wholeheartedly for them. Truly devious.

But Lin Feng, who knew all this, not only didn’t expose their lies but cooperated fully with them because those people were staring at him intently from the side.

The moment he showed any discrepancies, he predicted that after Xu Caiyue left, he would have to endure inhuman torment again.

To stay alive, Lin Feng was ready to go all out, even if Xu Caiyue was deceived no matter how badly.

“Brother Lin, rest assured, I will find a way to rescue you.” Xu Caiyue’s face showed determination.

“Caiyue… if their conditions are too excessive, you… you should just forget about me.” Lin Feng raised his hand to touch Xu Caiyue’s cheek.

“For our child, I must rescue you!”

“Caiyue…”

“Brother Lin, let’s name our child.”

“Hmm, if it’s a girl, let’s call her Lin Wu, and if it’s a boy, let’s call him Lin Dong.”

“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

…

…

The next day,

Nanling Prefecture City.

Xu Caiyue, having agreed to Chen Yuan’s terms, didn’t delay much and went directly to the Prefecture City the next day to find her father Xu Lingtian. It wasn’t to have those people killed,

but to get the token from him.

Without the token, even as Xu Lingtian’s daughter, she couldn’t enter the sect’s forbidden land in the back mountain.

Arriving at the Dragon and Tiger Sect’s base in Nanling Prefecture City, Xu Caiyue put away her worried expression and put on a smile. If she looked worried, Xu Lingtian would surely notice something.

She didn’t want that now. It would be time to tell her father to act after rescuing Brother Lin.

Then, she would make those who tortured Brother Lin pay back tenfold, a hundredfold!

As soon as Xu Caiyue appeared outside the residence, an old servant who had followed Xu Lingtian for many years saw her and immediately welcomed her in, his words full of flattery.

As for the other male and female disciples who saw Xu Caiyue, they quickly lowered their heads and hurried out of the mansion.

Xu Caiyue’s reputation in the Dragon and Tiger Sect was not good. If not for the fact that Xu Lingtian was her father, given her behavior, she would have been dismembered long ago.

“Father!”

Being led to the back courtyard, Xu Caiyue could hardly bear the grievances of the day and her eyes welled up with tears. She quickly called out.

But Xu Lingtian’s reaction was cold, almost unspoken.

Over the years, Xu Caiyue had used this look to deceive him more than a few times.

“Why did you come to the city instead of staying on the mountain?” Xu Lingtian frowned slightly, showing some displeasure.

The Dragon and Tiger Sect was currently engaged in a covert struggle with the Changle Gang and the Heavenly Patrol Bureau behind them, fighting for benefits. If they discovered Xu Caiyue’s whereabouts, they might use other means.

“I was missing you, Daddy.”

Xu Caiyue wiped away her tears and smiled, running up to Xu Lingtian and gently thumping his shoulder.

“You…” Xu Lingtian let out a wry smile, then suddenly, as if he had thought of something, his expression turned grave as he stared at Xu Caiyue and asked,

“Did you come down the mountain to look for that Lin fellow?”

“No, I didn’t.”

“Hmph, you better not have. Let me tell you, that boy is no good, what use is a good-looking exterior if he has no talent?”

Xu Lingtian was far from satisfied with the ordinary disciple Xu Caiyue had found.

If she were to choose, she should pick a genius who could inherit the mantle of the Dragon Tiger Sect, and besides, aside from his pleasant talk, that Lin fellow was of no use at all.

“Dad, stop it, I… I understand.”

Subconsciously, Xu Caiyue touched her belly, a complicated look flashing across her face.

Realizing that she indeed couldn’t tell him now, she thought that once the child was born, Xu Lingtian would have to begrudgingly acknowledge Brother Feng.

“Good, as long as you understand.”

“By the way, Dad, I want to go see Grandfather Xu. It has been over a year since I last saw him,” Xu Caiyue continued, her tone slightly coquettish.

Xu Lingtian’s brows furrowed slightly:

“The old Sect Leader is advanced in years and not convenient for visitors.”

Nowadays, the old Sect Leader was living each day as if it were his last, striving to sustain his own life in hope of supporting the Dragon Tiger Sect a while longer.

This was also one of his reasons for agreeing to Tang Qian’s alliance.

Once the old Sect Leader passed away, the entire burden of the Dragon Tiger Sect would fall upon his shoulders, and with only a few years since he stepped into the Reach Profound Realm, he was barely able to rank amongst the several Reach Profound experts in Nanling Prefecture City.

That’s why he was trying his best to obtain more benefits.

In such a situation, he naturally didn’t want others to disturb the old Sect Leader.

Even now, whether the old Sect Leader, in closed-door cultivation on the back mountain, was still alive was an unknown, and Xu Lingtian wasn’t willing to face that result either.

Only the unknown holds the greatest deterrent.

“Oh, come on, Dad. I won’t disturb Grandfather Xu. Can I just say a word at the entrance of his cave? The old man used to dote on me the most…” Xu Caiyue said in a sweet voice.

“No.”

“This is my only wish for the year, Dad. Please agree, I promise I’ll always listen to you. Mom has been gone for two years now, and even you…”

As she spoke, tears began to well up in Xu Caiyue’s eyes.

Seeing this made Xu Lingtian frown deeply.

Unable to resist Xu Caiyue’s persistence, he finally said after a long time:

“After you go in, do not disturb the old Sect Leader. Do you understand how much of the Sect is currently relying on the old Sect Leader’s deterrence?”

“Don’t worry, Dad, I understand,”

Xu Caiyue quickly replied.

Sighing, Xu Lingtian unfastened the Sect Leader Token from his waist and handed it to Xu Caiyue, instructing her:

“Take a look and come out immediately. Do not stay there.”

“I know, Dad.”

“And, you must return the Sect Leader Token as soon as possible, understand?”

“Rest assured, Dad. I’m very clear about the priorities,”

Xu Caiyue presented a very obedient appearance.

“Mm… Go ahead,”

Xu Lingtian gestured with his hand.

“I will take my leave, Dad.”

Xu Caiyue bowed respectfully, quickly departing the backyard, causing Xu Lingtian to shake his head, feeling that his daughter was still a bit too lively.

For a long time, Xu Lingtian withdrew his gaze and resumed pondering over what Tang Qian had come to him with the day before, hoping to join forces with him to kill Chen Yuan.

As long as Chen Yuan died, the Azure Flood Dragon Association would even be willing to be subordinate to the Dragon Tiger Sect in the future.

In that case, counting Tang Qian, the Dragon Tiger Sect might instantly become a power comparable to the likes of Gold Mountain Monastery, but Chen Yuan was not so easy to kill.

Should he agree to the offer?

…

…

Upon leaving Xu Mansion, Xu Caiyue took a deep breath while looking at the Sect Leader Token in her hand. Following the address left by those people, she found Chen Yuan’s men in an inconspicuous house in South City.

After making sure there were no dangers, Chen Yuan revealed himself to meet Xu Caiyue.

After another session of reassurance, Xu Caiyue finally took Chen Yuan to the Dragon Tiger Sect. This time, Chen Yuan didn’t bring anyone with him—the fewer people there were, the smaller the chance of exposure.

Chen Yuan couldn’t wish for a smaller target.

Still using the face from the Human Skin Mask, Chen Yuan didn’t want to reveal himself easily before obtaining the Dragon Vein Energy. With his notoriety in Nanling Prefecture City, those in power would certainly have obtained his likeness by now.

Before long, the two arrived at the base of the Dragon Tiger Sect’s mountain.

Looking at the somewhat towering gates of the Dragon Tiger Sect, the corners of Chen Yuan’s mouth unconsciously curled up a bit. The Lock Dragon Well, he had arrived!

With Xu Caiyue accompanying him, Chen Yuan and she faced no scrutiny at all. Even if some passersby found Chen Yuan unfamiliar and wanted to question him, they would stop short upon seeing Xu Caiyue’s dangerous glance.

With a sheepish smile, they would step aside and walk past.

Along the way, Chen Yuan remained calm. Though curious about the Dragon Tiger Sect, he maintained his composure, asking nothing and saying nothing unnecessary.
