I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

"Don't be too sad. I know you didn't want to kill her, but you didn't do anything wrong, did you?"

At this moment, Wang Jinxuan resembled a gentle and understanding younger sister.

If Lin Yi were her brother.

At this moment, her older brother Wang Liang was on his way. Seeing the flames shooting into the sky from afar, he couldn't help but laugh and scold, "Which family's idiot is so careless? The weather is dry, be careful of fire!"

After walking for a while, Wang Liang suddenly felt that something was wrong.

The house that caught fire looked so much like his private residence.

Chapter 109 Following

Lin Yi put out the fire before leaving, but he didn't have time to clean up the traces of the battle.

When Wang Liang arrived, he saw ashes everywhere, a hole in the wall, and several sharp sword marks on the ground. Clearly, a battle had taken place there.

The fight was so intense; it seems Zhu Sisi is no ordinary person.

Wang Liang wasn't stupid; he could still make basic judgments.

He looked at the bed again. The sheets had several large wrinkles. Good heavens, a fight had taken place here too.

Wang Liang's mindset has changed slightly.

"Who the hell did this?!"

A roar carried far, and Wang Jinxuan and Lin Yi, who had stopped nearby, both heard it. Wang Jinxuan immediately laughed out loud: "My brother sounds really angry."

"Nonsense, anyone would be angry in that situation."

The house was set on fire, the woman was slept with, and even the ashes were scattered. It would be a miracle if he didn't get a stroke from anger.

"Hmph, they brought it all on themselves. If they hadn't been causing trouble all this time, would they have gotten themselves into so much trouble?"

"What makes you think you're so great?"

Lin Yi flicked Wang Jinxuan on the forehead. Seeing Wang Jinxuan cry out and cover her head, he said seriously, "Considering that we've known each other for a while and that you're not a bad person at heart, I'll give you one last piece of advice. Just stay home and be a good young lady. Actually, your life is already pretty good. You should cherish it. If you get too involved in the world, you won't be able to go back."

Wang Jinxuan immediately puffed out his cheeks, feeling extremely annoyed.

Lin Yi is just like her father, always acting like he's doing it for her own good, but he doesn't know what she really wants. Humph, I don't like him anymore!

Seeing that Lin Yi wasn't trying to comfort her, she snorted even louder: "You all think that a girl's life is good if she has enough to eat and wear and lives a decent life, but that's not what I want. I want to see how big this sky and this world really are, to go wherever I want to go, to see interesting stories, and to meet interesting people, instead of being trapped in a secluded courtyard, seeing the same sky and the same scenery every day, and facing the same people year after year!"

"If I live my whole life like this, what's the difference between me and a bird in a cage?"

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment before saying, "I didn't expect you to have this idea. I thought you were just a rebellious teenager who loved to stir up trouble and act recklessly! Since you just want to go out for a walk, it shouldn't be too difficult for someone of your status, right?"

“My dad would never let me run around like that. Besides, he said the outside world is too dangerous. I don’t have the ability to protect myself, so how dare I go out!”

Wang Jinxuan began her hints, but Lin Yi didn't think much of it and instead looked at Wang Jinxuan with surprise and suspicion.

Is this girl really that clear-headed? He thought she was someone who feared nothing!

"Since you know you're not strong enough, who gave you the courage to jump out when you saw me being chased?"

"That was a misunderstanding! My swordsmanship teacher back then said I had no rivals in Star Sand City and that I wouldn't be in danger as long as I didn't leave the city. Who knew you guys were so powerful..."

Wang Jinxuan felt a little embarrassed, after all, her performance that day was indeed ridiculous. Before she could even hit the enemy, she was knocked unconscious by Lin Yi's shout.

After that day, she never did anything reckless or arrogant. Even when she went out with Lin Yi to fight zombies, she stayed in a safe place and did not charge into battle.

Having already gone this far, Wang Jinxuan decided to reveal his true intentions.

"How about you teach me some skills? Whether I'm going to be a chivalrous hero or living alone in the future, it's always good to have more skills."

She finally revealed her purpose: having met a master, she naturally wanted to become his apprentice!

Besides, with such a handsome expert, spending time together every day might even spark some romantic feelings...

Wang Jinxuan thought of another unorthodox book.

These days, even those vernacular novels will pick on taboo topics and dabble in eroticism. The greatest things in the world are heaven, earth, ruler, parents, and teachers.

Heaven, Earth, Ruler, and Parents—these four are all taboos, and no author of erotic fiction dares to touch upon them, but the Master…

Although it's taboo, it's not to the point where it's completely off-limits.

Moreover, beautiful young girls fall in love with knowledgeable teachers, and they don't actually mind if the teacher is one of them.

Lost in daydreams, Wang Jinxuan's mind had already wandered far away.

However, Lin Yi probably won't take her as his apprentice!

Wang Jinxuan knew that becoming an apprentice was not an easy thing, but she believed that if she persisted a few more times, she would eventually have a chance.

However, Lin Yi was not as troublesome as she had imagined.

“I can teach you, but you have to be obedient. If you really want to learn, come find me again tomorrow during the day. Now go back and tell your father everything that happened tonight.”

"Huh?!"

The surprise came so suddenly that Wang Jinxuan was completely taken aback.

"Hey what? Time to go home!"

Lin Yi jumped onto the roof and disappeared from Wang Jinxuan's sight in a few leaps.

Wang Jinxuan jumped up and down excitedly twice before rushing home, eager to welcome tomorrow.

Lin Yi secretly observed and followed behind.

He was very careful in his infiltration, a skill he learned from Baeksan-kun's memories.

Before being raised by Fuhu Temple, Baishan Jun was a tiger that needed to hunt for itself. After repeated training, its hunting ability had become almost instinctive.

Lin Yi received its memories and learned something from them. Although it didn't become a skill, it was still useful.

Wang Jinxuan was completely unaware that he was being followed. When he got home, he went straight to Wang An's residence and knocked on the door.

"Dad, open the door!"

With the steward and servants blocking his way, Wang Jinxuan couldn't enter the east courtyard and could only knock from the outside.

Wang An was also awake at this moment, and hearing Wang Jinxuan's shouts, he couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

Having no other choice, he had someone dress him before he went out to see Wang Jinxuan.

Seeing Wang Jinxuan dressed in black, he knew he must have gone out that night, and his head started to ache again.

"Jinxuan, what's the matter with all this noise so late at night?"

He was already getting angry, but Wang Jinxuan was completely oblivious and started rambling on about how he and a friend had sneaked into Wang Liang's private residence that night.

Wang An's face immediately darkened, and the steward and maids who had inadvertently stumbled upon the melon quickly lowered their heads, not daring to attract Wang An's attention.

It was too late for Wang An to tell them to leave, so he could only continue listening with a dark expression.

Wang Jinxuan brought up the story of Zhu Sisi cheating on Wang Liang again, and Lin Yi, who was eavesdropping, couldn't help but cover his face. "Get to the point!"

Wang An's face was dark and gloomy, and he wished he could beat up Wang Liang right away. He barely managed to maintain his composure and did not interrupt Wang Jinxuan.

It wasn't until Wang Jinxuan mentioned that Zhu Sisi had tried to kidnap her, and Zhu Sisi's last words, that Wang An's expression changed drastically.

"Alright, that's enough. I know everything. Go back to sleep. With your father here, no one can kidnap you."

"And what else..."

"go back!"

Wang Jinxuan wanted to explain her apprenticeship, but Wang An interrupted her, and she immediately fell silent, not daring to say anything more.

From childhood to adulthood, her father had always been very gentle with her. Even when he beat Wang Liang, Wang An had never been this fierce.

Wang Jinxuan had no choice but to obediently take his leave. Lin Yi, seeing Wang An's reaction, immediately understood.

He was right; Wang An really did know something!

Chapter 110: Father is kind and son is filial; brothers, friends and brothers are respectful

After Wang Jinxuan left, Wang An looked at the steward and said coldly, "What happened just now must not be leaked in the slightest."

The maids and servants present trembled upon hearing this, but dared not utter a sound.

The steward said with trepidation, "Don't worry, Master, I will handle it."

Lin Yi felt a headache coming on from the shadows.

He hadn't expected Wang Jinxuan to say those things in front of so many people. Now that these innocent people were involved, Lin Yi naturally had to save them. Lin Yi had thought of how to clean up the mess, but it was a bit troublesome. He would have to ask He Dong for money again, and he guessed she would complain about him again.

After giving the instructions, Wang An walked towards the front yard.

The steward led the servants to the backyard, and Lin Yi followed them for a while, ready to intervene and save them at any moment.

Finally, the butler stopped and said loudly, "You all should know the patriarch's meaning. From now on, without the patriarch's orders, none of you are allowed to leave the inner quarters. If word gets out, none of you, including me, will have a chance to live. Do you understand?"

"clear."

The servants quickly responded, which surprised Lin Yi. He had thought that Wang An's solution was to kill everyone present!

It seems he still thinks too badly of people.

Seeing that the servants had been dismissed by the steward, Lin Yi quietly retreated, intending to continue observing Wang An. He had only taken two steps when he heard screams coming from the front yard.

"Dad, I was wrong, please stop hitting me..."

Clearly, one unlucky kid got beaten up.

Wang Liang didn't know what he had done wrong. He had just returned home after a series of unfortunate events when he saw his father blocking the doorway with a gloomy expression. Good heavens, this looked like something serious had happened.

Sure enough, Wang An didn't even explain; he simply picked up a rattan cane and started whipping the animal.

This is a relatively rare occurrence, because Wang An believed in the way of a gentleman and would not punish someone without teaching them. Every time he beat someone, he would explain right and wrong, persuade the person, and then use the props.

Now he doesn't even explain anymore, and he looks like he's about to kill someone. Wang Liang's scalp tingled. Although he didn't know what he had done to offend Wang An, admitting his mistake was the right thing to do.

He felt that what he had done this time might be more serious than any of the previous times.

He was puzzled. He had been behaving much better lately. At least he hadn't been actively flirting with respectable women. Instead, someone was flirting with him. Well, he couldn't be blamed for that!

In fact, because of poverty, he hardly went to Yunyu Tower anymore. How did this provoke his father to such a rage?

"I'll beat you to death, you damned brat!"
