Six Realms Immortal Emperor

"Brother, is that what happened?" Lin Yu asked, frowning. He was as polite as possible to Xu Jingtian; if it were any other disciple with lower cultivation, he probably would have been taken down by his men long ago.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jingtian chuckled, flicked his Taoist robe, and took out an exquisite jade pendant from his pocket.

"Senior Brother Lin is joking. Do I look like the kind of person who would invite trouble?"

Lin Yu glanced at it and was secretly surprised. This jade token was a special item for Wanhe Valley shops. He naturally recognized it. Only VIPs would possess it. He couldn't help but feel even more respect for Xu Jingtian.

Having done all this, Xu Jingtian smiled inwardly, knowing that Lin Yu had come to believe him to some extent. He put the jade token back into his robes and pointed at Xiao Feng's group, saying, "Brother Lin, you surely already know who Xiao Feng is. They outnumbered me, obstructed me first, and then falsely accused me. I ask Brother Lin to make the final decision."

"This..." Both sides had their own version of events, which put Lin Yu in a difficult position.

Under normal circumstances, regardless of who is right or wrong, he would drag both parties out, punish them, and then expel them from Wanhe Valley.

However, these are extraordinary times. The Wanhe Valley Auction is about to be held, and the number of disciples here is more than ten times that of usual. Moreover, with so many people watching in the hall, Lin Yu, as the Wanhe Valley Law Enforcement Captain, also needs to consider the reputation of Wanhe Valley and act reasonably and appropriately, without being too arbitrary.

Especially since Xu Jingtian was holding a VIP pass for their Wanhe Valley shop, they couldn't act rashly. If this damaged the reputation of the Wanhe Valley shop, it would be a huge loss. However, they also couldn't be too protective of the VIP, otherwise it might provoke resentment from the vast majority of non-VIP disciples.

However, Lin Yu was no ordinary disciple. In addition to his high cultivation level, he was also very quick-witted. He had seen this kind of thing many times before, and he quickly came up with a proper solution.

"Alright, what's the evidence? I wonder if this brother has enough evidence to prove it?" Lin Yu said apologetically to Xu Jingtian. "If not, I'll have to ask you all to leave Wanhe Valley!"

The implication was clear: Lin Yu was convinced that Xiao Feng and his group had provoked them first, and if Xu Jingtian could prove it, they would expel Xiao Feng and his companions from Wanhe Valley. If Xu Jingtian couldn't provide proof, he couldn't blame Lin Yu.

Evidence? Xu Jingtian frowned. There were quite a few people in the hall who had witnessed the incident, but they were all strangers. Who would be willing to step forward and risk their lives to testify for him?

"If you can't come up with the money, young man, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Lin Yu said helplessly. That was all he could do to help.

Hearing this, Xiao Feng secretly felt smug. He gave his four other disciples a wink, and they immediately understood. There were too many people around, making it difficult for them to act, and they hadn't been able to use many of their insidious tricks. Once they reached the outside of Wanhe Valley, where it was secluded, the five of them working together would surely be able to handle Xu Jingtian.

Lin Yu also secretly gave his subordinates a look, the meaning of which was very clear: if Xu Jingtian did not cooperate properly, they would take action against him first.

However, how could his little tricks escape Xu Jingtian's notice? He sneered inwardly and was just pondering this when a young disciple walked over from a distant corner.

"Wait, I can testify that it was Xiao Feng and his group who provoked us first. This brother was just acting in self-defense!"

Xu Jingtian glanced at the disciple gratefully. The disciple's cultivation level was not high, only around the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Xiao Feng glared at him angrily: "Hmph, who are you?"

The young disciple first smiled slightly at Xu Jingtian, then turned to Xiao Feng and said coldly, "I am Luo Qingsong of the Haoqi Sect."

Haoqi Sect, which cultivation sect is that? I don't think I've ever heard of this sect around here. It's probably a very small sect. Xu Jingtian couldn't remember either.

"The Righteous Qi Sect, fine, I, Xiao Feng, will remember this!" Xiao Feng said, enunciating each word clearly. He was furious and his killing intent was palpable. A single, casual remark from the other party had rendered all his previous efforts futile, and now he was to be driven out of the Ten Thousand Valleys.

"Fine, I'm ready anytime!" Luo Qingsong sneered at him.

"Senior Brother Lin, now that we have this witness, we hope you will uphold justice!" Xu Jingtian was overjoyed.

Lin Yu's face immediately turned furious, and he roared at Xiao Feng and the others, "What, why aren't you getting out of here? Do you want me to personally escort you out of the valley?"

As the Wanhe Valley Law Enforcement Team, our main task is to severely punish those who cause trouble in the valley, maintain normal trading order, and create a safe and reliable environment for disciples who come here to trade.

Therefore, cracking down on people like Xiao Feng is crucial for Lin Yu to establish his authority, and he will spare no effort in carrying it out.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng dared not say anything more. He hurriedly called to his four disciples and slunk out of the hall. Before leaving, he turned back to threaten Xu Jingtian: "Kid, don't be too smug. Your grandpa Xiao is waiting for you outside the valley!"

"Alright, I'm ready anytime!" Xu Jingtian wasn't afraid of this rabble.

Lin Yu watched Xiao Feng and the others leave before clasping his hands in a fist salute to Xu Jingtian and saying with a smile, "Haha, brother, I'm truly sorry for offending you earlier. I hope you won't take it to heart!"

"Not at all, thank you so much, Senior Brother Lin, for upholding justice for me. I am deeply grateful!" Xu Jingtian said, pretending to be polite, but inwardly he felt very disgusted with Lin Yu. If he hadn't shown his VIP card from Wanhe Valley, he didn't know how Lin Yu would have treated him.

"Farewell!" Lin Yu said, and the other disciples followed closely behind him. Wherever they went, the onlookers made way for them.

The onlookers then returned to their seats, and the hall returned to calm.

"Tsk tsk, what impressive law enforcement disciples!" Luo Qingsong said with some envy as he looked at Lin Yu and the others.

Xu Jingtian cupped his hands in thanks and said with a smile, "Thank you for your help. May I ask how I should address this brother?"

Seeing this, Luo Qingsong was somewhat flattered and hurriedly returned the greeting, saying, "No, no, Senior Brother, you're too kind. I am Luo Qingsong from the Haoqi Sect."

Generally speaking, the higher a disciple's cultivation level, the more arrogant they are, especially when they see disciples whose cultivation level is much lower than their own; they usually have a haughty demeanor.

Xu Jingtian's casual move just now demonstrated an extremely high level of skill, so his cultivation level was naturally not low either. However, Luo Qingsong was very pleased with his approachable attitude.

Senior Brother? Hearing his address, Xu Jingtian chuckled inwardly. This Luo Qingsong was clearly older than him, yet he insisted on calling himself junior brother and addressing him as senior brother. However, in the cultivation world, disciples with high cultivation levels are respected everywhere, which is quite common.
