After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

What if... what if those old monsters join forces to force me to abdicate? My dear sister, can she hold out alone? My whole life has been like walking on thin ice!

Lin Fengmian groaned inwardly; the vermilion fruit he had just eaten no longer tasted good.

Although he was panicking inside, Lin Fengmian remained outwardly calm and collected.

Taking advantage of his free time, he quickly found his future brother-in-law.

Li Youqing's older brother, Li Zhanfeng.

Li Zhanfeng saw Lin Fengmian swaggering around near Madam Mili's palace.

He was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Lin Fengmian didn't have time to explain much to him; he simply asked him to send a message jade talisman back to the Hehuan Sect.

He sent a message to let them know he was safe and instructed them to stay firmly within the sect, keep the great formation active at all times, and absolutely not to go out.

Only after doing all this did he feel a little more at ease.

His biggest concern right now is whether Gongsun Mili can protect him.

If Li Xuehe speaks up personally, or if all the elders of the Tianxing Alliance unite to put pressure on him, will Gongsun Mili still stand on his side?

With this in mind, he mustered his courage and found Gongsun Mili, who was admiring the flowers in the courtyard.

The garden was filled with blooming flowers, and Gongsun Mili, dressed in purple, stood among them, looking like a fairy among flowers, her beauty beyond compare.

He hesitated for a moment, then asked:

"Sister Mimi, if... I mean if... the Heavenly Star Alliance, or your junior brother Li Xuehe, insisted that you hand me over. Would you... would you abandon me?"

When Lin Fengmian asked that question, his heart was in his throat.

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Mili slowly turned around.

Without hesitation, her exquisitely beautiful face met his gaze directly, and she uttered two resolute words: "No!"

Her voice was clear and firm.

Lin Fengmian was overjoyed.

But he couldn't help but ask another question:

"But aren't you an elder of the Heavenly Star Alliance? By doing this, aren't you essentially... betraying the Heavenly Star Alliance?"

Gongsun Mili looked at his cautious and hesitant manner, as if afraid that he would change his mind, and suddenly smiled.

That fleeting smile seemed to make all the flowers in the garden pale in comparison! She slightly turned her head...

"Silly boy, when did it become anyone else's place to tell me what to do?"

Gongsun Mili then parted her red lips slightly and said:

"What Heavenly Star Alliance? I'm just a nominal elder; they even begged me to give me that title. I'm already incredibly lucky not to get angry or turn against them, and they dare ask me for people!"

These words, spoken with an air of dominance, filled Lin Fengmian with immense joy! He had truly found a powerful patron this time!

However, it also made Lin Fengmian a little curious about the other party's identity, that he would look down on the Tianxing Alliance, which he regarded as a behemoth.

Gongsun Mili, who was standing to the side, then continued:

"Your cultivation level is still too low. Do you need any rare and precious materials? You can tell your sister."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fengmian couldn't help but think to himself, "How could I not want to improve my cultivation by relying on external things? But my five spiritual roots won't allow it!"

The Five Elemental Roots Foundation Establishment stage is a bottomless pit; an ordinary cultivator can break through with just one top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill.

He had to kowtow nearly a hundred times before he could barely build a perfect foundation for his Dao.

Do you now want to rely on elixirs to increase your cultivation level?

Even selling him wouldn't be enough to fill this hole.

Lin Fengmian's eyes darted around, and then he said to the other party:

"Sister Mimi, um... I generally don't like relying on external things. If you really want to improve my cultivation, how about we cultivate together a few more times?"

Before the words were finished—

With a "whoosh," a blush instantly rose on Gongsun Mili's face!

It spread all the way up to her fair, jade-like swan neck! She looked like a peach blossom, and her alluring face gained a unique expression.

"You little brat! What nonsense are you spouting!"

Gongsun Mili hurriedly said, and then left in a panic, leaving behind only a lingering fragrance.

Lin Fengmian couldn't help but chuckle upon seeing this.

The other person was truly like a blank sheet of paper when it came to matters between men and women; just a few words of teasing from him were enough to make him blush uncontrollably.

He then murmured:

"You're over a hundred years old, how can you still be so shy? Anyone who didn't know better would think you were a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl. But I love your shyness!"

However, just as Lin Fengmian was enjoying the good life of being a kept man, living a very comfortable and relaxed life—

On this day, two powerful auras suddenly descended upon the Great Yan Dynasty!

One was as calm as the stars, yet unfathomable; the other was like a peerless weapon, capable of severing all things.

Within the Great Yan Royal City, regardless of their cultivation level, all cultivators felt that terrifying pressure!

Could it be those old guys from the Heavenly Star Alliance?!

Lin Fengmian jumped off his chair! Although Gongsun Mili had said she could protect him, he was still a little worried.

A short while later, Gongsun Mili flew back. Seeing the complex expression in Lin Fengmian's eyes, she then said to him:

"Lin Fengmian, there's something I need to tell you."

Seeing Gongsun Mili's serious expression, Lin Fengmian also became serious and said to her, "Sister, what is it?"

Gongsun Mili then spoke:

"I am actually the daughter of the vice leader of the Central Continent Myriad Sects Alliance. I came to Qingzhou this time on business. Now that the special envoy has arrived, he wants to take me back. So now I'm giving you two choices—"

One option is to come back to Zhongzhou with me; I will protect you.

The second option is to stay here. However, I cannot control the Extreme Yin Ancestor, Ye Fan, and my junior brother.

Once I leave, the Heavenly Star Alliance will have no more scruples. They will immediately turn their attention to you and the Joyful Union Sect, crushing them to dust! With your current strength, staying here... is a nine-out-of-ten chance of death!

boom!

These words struck Lin Fengmian like a thunderbolt!

His face instantly turned extremely ugly, and a huge storm raged in his heart!

Central Plains! The Immortal Alliance of Ten Thousand Paths!

That's a super power that ranks among the top in Zhongzhou, and it's also very famous in Qingzhou.

So this woman has quite a background!

No wonder he's so powerful and has such high standards!

Stay?

It's definitely a dead end!

The Blissful Ancestor is a monster, and Ye Fan is a cheat code; either of them could easily crush him!

Not to mention the entire Tianxing Alliance is eyeing it covetously!

He could manage on his own; at worst, he could hide in the spiritual spring space and lie low.

But... what about the Hehuan Sect?

Where is Chu Qingyi? Where is Honglian? Yan Qingyao, Xiao Xiyue, Xiao Ling'er...

Where are his whole bunch of beautiful, delicate cultivation tools, his precious darlings?!
