Chapter 1198: Their Own Plans
When Ling Yichen saw the white robe fluttering in front of him and the familiar figure sitting in the first seat, his heart, which had been hanging for a long time, finally settled down.

He straightened his back and stepped forward to salute respectfully. Unexpectedly, the Yuanying elder still remembered him and enthusiastically asked about his recent situation.

Standing next to the elder, Ling Yichen watched Ao Hen come in and bowed his head respectfully to greet him, and an indescribable sense of pleasure surged in his heart.

After the polite greetings, the elders of Taixu Palace took the disciples back to their rooms first.

"How about we run first?" After entering the room, Jintong suggested in a low voice while rubbing his butt.

Although the elder of Taixu Palace was smiling on the surface, Jintong was keenly aware of the alienation beneath his smile.

That's a Yuanying! Yuanying! Ling would complain later... Although they were the ones being bullied, the master is like the disciple. She had heard in the brothel that the people in Taixu Palace were petty and vindictive...

Didn't you see that this arrogant guy Ao Hen was still nodding and bowing in front of the old man? When the old man went upstairs, he disappeared. It was obvious that he was afraid that Ling Yichen would cause trouble, so he slipped away in advance.

If the old man wants to find trouble for Ling Yichen, they, the foundation-building cultivators, are no match for him. It is better to run away as soon as possible.

"Wait!" Yu Sinian took out a bell-shaped magic weapon and threw it to cover the few people. "This is a high-level soundproof magic weapon. Even a Yuanying cultivator cannot spy on it. You can tell me now."

Shen Xiuyuan then shook his head and explained, "Leaving now will easily backfire and give the other party a reason to find fault with us. From the beginning to the end, it was Ling Yichen who took the initiative to cause trouble for us. The only counterattack we had was to break his sword. Now it has been recast for him, and it is even more powerful than before. He has no reason and no face to let the elders of the sect cause trouble for us. After all, we are at the level of Nascent Soul cultivators. Such a small matter between lower-level cultivators is not something they should easily interfere with."

"It's not the first time that Ling Yichen has been shameless. Senior brother, don't overestimate his character." Du Xingyu complained while lying on the table, "Besides, those people from Taixu Palace..."

"If you want to cause trouble, you should go find Ao Hen first." Yu Sinian sat at the table, picked up the cup in the middle and turned it upside down. "After all, he really wants to kill Ling Yichen, and we are the ones who have been protecting him. Besides, we are a few of us in the foundation building stage, and Ling Yichen is a golden core. He will complain to the Yuanying to deal with us... He will not destroy his own future."

Didn’t you see that Ling Yichen didn’t complain when he was politely greeting his senior masters in public?

If I had said it directly at that time, I would have had no chance to escape.

But the people in Taixu Palace are used to being too concerned about their reputation. In front of outsiders, image is more important than anything else, and they just love to pretend.

Being threatened by Aohen, a demon cultivator two realms older than him, he could still complain to his elders. If he said that he suffered a loss in their foundation building, not to mention the face problem, he was afraid that the elders of Taixu Sect would regard him as a waste after knowing it.

"In that case, we are actually safe now." Mu Jingjing clenched his fist. "Besides, Aohen is missing because he wanted to hide from them, which is also a good thing for us."

They tried to shake him off carefully all the way but failed. As soon as the boss of Taixu Palace showed up, he ran away on his own.

So strength is still important, isn't it?
"We should do what we should do," Shen Xiuyuan said, "Pay attention to the activities of Taixu Palace and see if there is a teleportation array in the city. Stay for a day or two and find a suitable time to leave. Don't be too deliberate."

"Understood!" Du Xingyu jumped up and hooked his arm around Shen Xiuyuan's shoulder with a smile, "Let's go shopping later!"

When the Changtian Sect was plotting behind closed doors, the elders had already set up a soundproofing array in the inner room of the Lingxu Palace.

He sat opposite Ling Yichen, and his concerned look made the latter feel a warmth in his heart.

The grievance was on the tip of his tongue, but he took a detour and said what he meant by the murderous intent he had towards himself.

"You've suffered a lot, kid." The elder patted Ling Yichen's shoulder with pity, "Faced with this predicament, you can still think of a way to save yourself. You are indeed worthy of being a talented person in Taixu Palace. I'm afraid that guy has run away now, otherwise, I will definitely help you get rid of your anger."

Ling Yichen felt warm in his heart and said a few humble words. Then he heard the elder ask him earnestly if he got along well with the people of Changtian Sect. What does "well" mean?
He wanted to kill them but failed, and was chopped by their swords instead; after paying a high price, they helped him reforge the Broken Sky Sword; and under their protection, he lived in peace with Ao Hen, who wanted to kill him...

Is this... not bad?
But Ling Yichen was a smart man. He understood the meaning of the music and followed the elder's instructions to tell him about his past relationship with Shen Xiuyuan.

“The misunderstanding with him at the beginning also implicated the sect. I feel extremely ashamed.” Ling Yichen bowed respectfully.

He tightened his grip on the sword. For some reason, he didn't want anyone to know about the Broken Sky Sword, especially someone from his own sect...

That incident caused quite a stir back then, and everyone in Taixu Palace knew about it.

The elder laughed and patted his shoulder, saying, "It's all in the past. It's all in the past. Haven't you guys cleared up your past grudges now? The misunderstanding has been cleared up, and you're still good friends..."

Ling Yichen responded uncertainly, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Excuse me, elder, where is the destination of this trip? Can I follow you?"

“Hey~” The elder smiled and waved his hand at him, “You can’t go with me. You have to continue on the road with them.”

Ling Yichen's heart sank suddenly, and his originally uneasy heart fell to the bottom in an instant.

"Elder!" Ling Yichen suddenly looked up.

"Child, don't be anxious!" The elder's smile no longer looked so kind at this moment, "I know you are afraid of that demon cultivator, don't worry, after today, he won't dare to touch you easily. Do you know why I met you here?"

There are very few cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage walking around in the secular world.

Ling Yichen quickly sorted out the causes and consequences, and an unbelievable thought popped up in his head: "Could it be... waiting for me?"

"That's right!" The elder said confidently, "It is precisely because of your potential that the sect decided to entrust you with an important task. Are you willing?"

"I am willing to share the sect's worries." Ling Yichen bowed his head, but his eyes were not as firm as his tone.

"Did you know that a year ago, a cultivator with five spiritual roots appeared in Changtian Sect and broke through to the Qi training stage. His speed was even faster than that of cultivators with only one spiritual root. This caused quite a stir at the time?"

"I seem to have heard of it," Ling Yichen pretended to recall, "and it sparked a wave of Five Spiritual Root fever, but it was forgotten later. Everyone said it was a rumor."

Ling Yichen knew he was talking about Lin Fan.

He once held a high level of hostility towards Lin Fan. But ever since he witnessed the other party breaking his sword and helping him practice Duan Xiao again... Ling Yichen's feelings towards Lin Fan became complicated.

Perhaps it was because of the influence of the old Duanxiao, or perhaps it was because the elders knew that he was in danger but ignored him...

Ling Yichen was an extreme egoist. Just like he didn't want his master to know about the Broken Sky Sword, he should have reported everything about Lin Fan truthfully, keeping it in his heart without saying a word.

"Wrong!" The elder said, "The Palace Master said that Lin Fan is very likely to have a rare fusion spiritual root. It just so happens that you have a good relationship with them, so take this opportunity to bring Lin Fan under my Taixu Palace."
