A ruthless bandit from the celestial realm, he began his cultivation journey after kidnapping the Em

After the white-haired old man turned and left, Ye Chen and Lin Wanli were still standing there in a daze...

It feels like a dream...

One moment they were incredibly tense, facing life and death, the next they were elevated to the status of disciples of the Enforcement Hall...

The surrounding disciples all cast envious glances and couldn't help but offer their congratulations.

"Congratulations to Senior Brother Xu and Senior Brother Lin on becoming disciples of the Enforcement Hall..."

"I hope my two senior brothers will take good care of me in the future..."

"Senior Brother Xu, Senior Brother Lin, from now on you will also be inner disciples, congratulations..."

"These two senior brothers have been personally chosen by Elder Zhao; their future is undoubtedly bright..."

......

Amidst the flood of congratulations, Ye Chen and Lin Wanli gradually came to their senses...

"this..."

Lin Wanli looked up at Ye Chen in front of him and said hesitantly.

"Senior brother...is this for real?"

"Could this be a ruse by the sect, deliberately tricking us into going to the Enforcement Hall so they can then attack us?"

He lowered his voice, afraid that the nearby disciples would hear him...

Hearing this, Ye Chen glanced at him and said calmly, "What do you think?"

"Elder Zhao's strength was enough to take us both down, why go to all this trouble..."

Hearing Ye Chen say this, Lin Wanli nodded in agreement...

"What my senior brother said is true..."

"With Elder Zhao's cultivation level, there's really no need for him to do this..."

"So, Elder Zhao really thinks highly of us and wants us to work in the Enforcement Hall?"

......

Lin Wanli breathed a sigh of relief, still feeling quite excited despite the lingering fear...

Becoming a disciple of the Enforcement Hall means you won't have to live in fear anymore. You'll be informed of any news immediately, and if the sect really tracks you down, you can quickly leave the sect...

Lin Wanli was still uneasy about the incident last night when he injured the man in black...

Ye Chen hesitated for two seconds.

"You'll find out when you go to the Enforcement Hall tomorrow..."

He noticed Lin Wanli's worry, leaned closer, and whispered words of comfort.

"Don't worry, no one will know what happened last night..."

"There were no clues left at the scene, so no matter how hard we investigate, we won't be able to find anything about us..."

"As long as you don't give yourself away, no one can do anything to you..."

......

Hearing Ye Chen say this, Lin Wanli felt a little relieved and nodded in agreement.

"clear..."

"Don't worry, senior brother, I definitely won't give myself away..."

Ye Chen nodded and was about to turn back into his cave when he noticed Lin Wanli's burning gaze. He paused, turned around, and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Is there anything else?"

Only then did he realize that Lin Wanli seemed to have arrived even earlier than the white-haired old man, and had probably been waiting for him since early morning...

In response to Ye Chen's question, Lin Wanli immediately spoke up.

"I would like to ask my senior brother to instruct me in swordsmanship..."

"Please, senior brother..."

Lin Wanli looked at Ye Chen with anticipation, practically begging him to kneel down and hug his legs...

"this..."

Ye Chen quickly guessed that the other party had this purpose. The only thing that could make Lin Wanli so infatuated, coming to see him so early in the morning, was related to sword practice...

Even his fear of being exposed as the man in black couldn't stop him from practicing his swordsmanship...

Ye Chen glanced at him and nodded helplessly in agreement.

"All right..."

"Come in with me..."

Lin Wanli has helped him a lot these past few days, and he also lent a hand in the woods last night, helping him steal quite a few storage bags...

Lin Wanli's share was naturally among these stolen goods...

He didn't want anything, and Ye Chen wouldn't mistreat him. Besides giving him a sixth-grade spirit-replenishing pill, he also gave him pointers on swordsmanship in exchange...

Upon hearing Ye Chen agree to instruct him in swordsmanship, Lin Wanli was overjoyed and said with delight.

"Thank you, senior brother!"

The two entered the cave one after the other...

Before we knew it, the sky was gradually darkening...

Lin Wanli was so engrossed in practicing his swordsmanship that he was completely unaware of the passage of time...

It wasn't until Lin Ningxue's shouts came from outside the cave that Ye Chen and Lin Wanli snapped out of their daze and realized that it was already getting late...

"Let's stop practicing here for today..."

Ye Chen looked up at Lin Wanli in front of him, rubbed his rumbling stomach, and turned to walk out of the cave...

"Let's go eat first..."

"good..."

Lin Wanli hurriedly agreed...

Ye Chen had already given him guidance quite a few times today, and he was now completely satisfied...

He knew very well that sword practice should be done step by step, and one couldn't become an expert overnight.

"Boom!"

The stone door to the cave slowly opened...

Ye Chen and Lin Wanli emerged from the cave one after the other...

"Senior brother..."

"Senior Brother Lin is here too..."

Outside the cave, Lin Ningxue greeted Ye Chen and Lin Wanli as they walked out...

She was somewhat surprised to see Lin Wanli; she hadn't expected him to be in Ye Chen's cave...

However, considering that Lin Wanli has been pestering Ye Chen for swordsmanship these past few days, it seems understandable...

"Junior Sister Lin..."

Lin Wanli nodded in response to Lin Ningxue, and faintly smelled the fragrance in the air, instantly making his mouth water...

"The food is all ready, come to my place for dinner..."

Lin Ningxue looked at Ye Chen and Lin Wanli in front of her and said.

As he spoke, he winked at the two of them...

"Um?"

Ye Chen sensed something was wrong, nodded, and followed...

This wasn't the first time he'd come to Lin Ningxue's cave to freeload, and this time he wasn't being polite at all. He turned around and followed Lin Ningxue towards the closed cave...

Seeing this, Lin Wanli hurriedly followed, fearing he would be locked out...

His mouth was practically watering from cravings; he'd forgotten all about swordsmanship, his mind completely occupied by the food Lin Ningxue had cooked...

Her cooking skills were simply too good; the dishes she cooked captivated Lin Wanli.

"Bang!"

After the three entered the cave, the heavy stone door slowly closed...

The noise was completely shut out of the cave; the courtyard was utterly silent...

The three of them went straight into the kitchen, and Ye Chen spoke first only after Lin Ningxue closed the door.

"Junior sister..."

"Is there something you want to tell me?"

Upon hearing this, Li Wanli, who was about to serve rice, paused in his tracks, immediately stopping. He turned to look at Ye Chen with a surprised expression, then at Lin Ningxue in front of him, many questions flashing through his mind...

"Junior sister, what happened?"

Lin Wanli couldn't help but ask a question.

If Ye Chen hadn't asked the question, he wouldn't have noticed Lin Ningxue's gaze at all...
