After I left the sect, the entire sect knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

Chapter 303 Can Sister Stay? 2
The sea was not suitable for human cultivation, so after setting up the array in her room, she went out to take a walk outside the city.

On the way to the Central Region, we were so busy traveling and fighting monsters that we didn't get a good look at the underwater world.

Just as she was about to go out, she saw someone climb over the wall and come in.

The newcomer, dressed in a black cloak, stumbled and bumped right into her.

The other person immediately knelt down before her, their pleasant voice filled with pitifulness and helplessness.

"Fairy... Fairy, save me..."

"..."

Lin Yan instinctively didn't want to cause trouble, but his eyes were too beautiful and his voice too pleasant, making people inexplicably soft-hearted.

After thinking for a moment, she held up five fingers. "I usually save people for 50,000 high-grade spirit stones, but I can give you a discount."

His choked voice stopped abruptly, and his watery eyes revealed confusion.

Seeing this, she looked distressed: "Ten thousand high-grade spirit stones, that's the lowest I can go!"

"it is good……"

"Ah, that's more like it." She smiled, tossed the person into the room, and closed the door.

She went to the courtyard, set out teaware, spiritual fruits, and melon seeds on the table, and then sat down to slowly savor them.

She ignored the fact that several people had climbed over the wall from outside, and only after confirming that no one was behind her did she leisurely ask, "What brings you all here?"

Those people thought they were hiding well, but they were discovered.

The newcomers were at least at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, with the highest level being the late Golden Core stage.

When they entered, they used their divine sense to detect that there was only one Foundation Establishment cultivator in the courtyard. They didn't pay any attention to him and simply used a concealment spell to sneak in.

The leader, who was the most powerful, wore a large cloak that covered him completely. He held a trident and spoke in a condescending tone: "Mind your own business. If you pretend you can't see anything, I might spare your life."

Listen to what they're saying; they don't take her seriously at all.

Not only did they break into her place, but they also spoke to her in such a rude tone.

Lin Yan didn't bother arguing with them. She simply raised her hand and created a protective barrier to prevent them from rummaging through the house.

He summoned a spirit sword and said slowly, "Then I should thank you for sparing my life."

As he spoke, the spirit sword flew out and stabbed at one of them.

While controlling the spirit sword, several water balls were launched, flying towards the cultivator who had spoken.

The group that broke into the house immediately took precautions and attacked her.

After withstanding the power of the water sphere and the spirit sword, he was astonished: How could a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator possess such power?
Before they could be stunned for long, the attackers had already come at them, bombarding them with all sorts of spells and talismans, relentlessly attacking their weaknesses.

What's most terrifying is that the female cultivator can control her flying sword in battle while unleashing powerful spells.

Fearing they would cause too much of a commotion, they even had to set up a protective barrier around the entire compound.

The female cultivator launched a fierce attack on the person in charge of the barrier, eventually sending him flying into the barrier, which then cracked.

They had to send some people out to maintain the barrier while the others held her back.

Lin Yan saw through their intentions, and with her slippery movements, she managed to get past the group and attack the cultivator in charge of the barrier.

--boom!

The person was knocked into the wall, leaving a deep dent.

The commotion was too great and quickly attracted the attention of the patrolling guards. They had to retreat, and she, seeing that she had the upper hand, did not give chase.

Not counting those at the Foundation Establishment stage, they had six Golden Core cultivators, but they were hesitant to use their full strength, so she suppressed them.

If we were outside the city, without separating them, it would be extremely difficult to fight on our own, and we might even be seriously injured or lose our lives.

Using ten thousand spirit stones to provoke six Golden Core cultivators is a bit of a bad deal. If they hold a grudge against her and keep an eye on her, it would be disastrous if they joined forces to kill her after she leaves the city.

Her face was full of sorrow: The spirit stones she asked for were too few!

The patrolling guard came and knocked on the door, making a routine inquiry.

She replied with a bewildered look, "I don't know either. It's my first day here. I came to enjoy the sea view, who knew I'd run into something like this?"

His tone was quite sincere, not like he was lying.

In fact, she wasn't lying; one of her purposes in coming to the sea area was to enjoy the scenery.

The leading patrol guard, also a Yaksha wielding a trident, saw that she spoke sincerely and, without suspicion, led his team away.

She closed the courtyard gate again and went to the door of the side room.

Before she could even push the door open, the merman in the black cloak opened it for her.

He had taken off his cloak and hood, revealing long, smooth black hair and drooping light blue ear fins, clearly indicating his low spirits.

His face was stunningly beautiful, and his watery eyes were filled with remorse, as if he could burst into tears at any moment.

"I'm...I'm sorry for causing you trouble," he sobbed, his voice soft and pleasant, the sobbing tone particularly endearing.

She didn't feel much about the voice, but felt that the eyes were somewhat familiar, though she couldn't remember where she had seen them before.

She doesn't care about people who aren't important to her, so it's normal that she can't remember them for a while.

"No trouble at all." She smiled and patted his shoulder. "I saved you, and you gave me ten thousand high-grade spirit stones. How can that be trouble?"

"..."

After she finished speaking, the boy froze for a moment, then stared at her blankly, his expression full of embarrassment.

Her forced smile froze. "You don't... have no spirit stones, do you?"

The boy blushed and said timidly, "I don't have that many spirit stones right now. Can I use some mermaid silk to pay for it?"

Her eyes lit up when she heard the word "mermaid gauze." This was a rare find, even at auctions.

"Yes, of course!"

The boy hesitated, then took a box out of his storage bag and handed it to her.

She took it with both hands and opened it, revealing a beautiful piece of silk inside.

It was so beautiful that she dared not touch it easily.

Lin Yan carried the box into the room, placed it on the table, and picked up the mermaid gauze with both hands to examine it.

Judging by its appearance, it's at least a meter long. If sold directly to the merchant guild, it could fetch at least 70,000 high-grade spirit stones.

The other party offered mermaid silk to offset the 10,000 high-grade spirit stones; it was an absolute rip-off.

She wasn't the type to take advantage of others, so she directly stated a conservative price for the mermaid silk, observing the other person's reaction as she spoke.

Seeing him staring blankly, she sighed: "I'll give you an extra 60,000 spirit stones, so you won't lose out, how about it?"

She could earn even more by taking the mermaid silk to the auction house later, so she didn't feel bad about spending the remaining 60,000 spirit stones.

"No...no need." The boy's voice was barely audible. "I...I'm being chased right now. Can...can I come with you?"

Lin Yan paused in her hand holding the mermaid silk, then folded it up and put it back in the box.

I knew this mermaid silk wouldn't be so easy to get!
"You could hire me to protect you."

She guessed that the boy was being chased by enemies, and seeing that she had driven them away, he desperately needed a powerful protector, which is why he made this request.

The boy bit his lip tightly, looking conflicted and stubborn.
