Little Qing Tan, the little tagalong, insisted on following them to the Trading Post to have some fun.

With no other choice, they had to bring her along.

After buying Qing Tan some snacks and telling her to wait upstairs, Wu Yun and Lin Dong disguised themselves again and entered the underground Trading Post.

With their previous experience, they quickly traded away fifteen portions of Body Tempering Liquid diluted from five drops of Stone Talisman Spiritual Liquid.

They obtained two Fourth-Grade Spiritual Medicines and thirty Third-Grade Spiritual Medicines.

After exchanging for the spiritual medicines, the two had planned to head back, but Qing Tan clung to them.

"Brother Lin Dong, Brother Wu Yun, play with me for a while! I'm cooped up at home cultivating every day. It wasn't easy getting out for once, and you're already in a hurry to go back. I don't care! Usually, it's fine if you won't play with me in the room, but today, you have to keep me company!"

Qing Tan grabbed both of their shoulders, one on each side, and stubbornly held them back.

Wu Yun and Lin Dong exchanged helpless looks. "Fine, we'll take you around for a bit. Whatever you want to buy, we'll get it for you. Buy as much as you want this time."

"Yay!"

Qing Tan said happily.

The Trading Post was huge, divided into an aboveground and underground section. The aboveground area was like a pedestrian street, with all kinds of goods for sale. The three great families and Mad Blade Martial Arts School all had shops there.

So even carrying a huge haul of spiritual medicines while shopping around posed no danger! They had barely walked for a moment when—

"Hey, that's Lin Shan!"

Qing Tan looked toward the entrance of a pavilion ahead.

Wu Yun and Lin Dong looked over as well.

Wu Yun had some impression of Lin Shan. He was the second son of Lin Mang, the Lin Family's second elder, and he had often bullied Qing Tan and Lin Dong when they were young.

At the moment, his face was bruised and swollen. It looked like he had been beaten up.

Lin Shan saw them too. His face flushed, and he hesitated.

He was rather afraid of seeing Lin Dong now.

"What happened?" Lin Dong asked calmly.

After spending so much time with Wu Yun and sharing the cheat with him, Lin Dong's outlook had broadened. He no longer took these minor family disputes to heart.

Lin Shan looked somewhat fearful as he stammered, "We ran into those bastards from the Xie Family, and then Sister Lin Xia was bullied. So we started fighting them... Well, there were too many of them, so we lost out a little. I ran out... to find some... reinforcements..."

Hearing this, Wu Yun recalled the general plot.

This was Lin Dong's first clash with the geniuses of the Lei and Xie Families.

"Sister Lin Xia is there too? Hurry and take us there!"

Hearing that Lin Xia had suffered, Lin Dong urged him on.

"Big Brother Wu Yun, maybe you should head back first..."

Lin Dong hesitated. This was a matter of the Lin Family, and Wu Yun should not be dragged into it.

"Let's go take a look together."

Soon, the four arrived at a spacious pavilion. By then, two groups were already standing distinctly opposed to one another.

They were the younger generation of the Lin Family and the Xie Family.

"Xie Ting, don't go too far!"

"So what if I do? If our Xie Family hadn't been so generous, would your Lin Family even have had the chance to settle in Qingyang Town?"

Amid the argument, the two sides began fighting again.

The Lin Family had Lin Xia and Lin Hong, two Body Tempering Seventh Level cultivators. But the Xie Family also had two Body Tempering Seventh Level cultivators, and they were stronger. The Xie Family also had more people.

Lin Dong rushed straight in.

"Stop!"

With a single palm strike, he blocked Xie Ting and separated the two sides.

Quite a few people had already gathered around them.

A group of Mad Blade Martial Arts School disciples wearing embroidered blade uniforms happened to be there as well. When they saw Wu Yun, they all came over to him.

"Senior Brother!"

"Senior Brother, you came too!"

"Mm. What's going on here?"

Wu Yun asked the martial arts school disciples.

"That Xie Ting deliberately started trouble and snatched the Fox Crystal Necklace that Lin Xia had already bought. The two sides started fighting, and Xie Ting slapped Lin Xia amid the chaos!"

Wu Yun looked over. Sure enough, there was a palm print on Lin Xia's pretty face.

"That's really too much. Slapping someone in the face in broad daylight!"

Lin Xia had left a fairly good impression on Wu Yun, especially those legs. Besides, whenever he ran into her in the Lin Family, she had always been rather warm toward him.

Under normal circumstances, Wu Yun would not mind standing up for her.

But with Lin Dong here, there was no need.

He and the martial arts school disciples watched from the side.

After entering the fray, Lin Dong immediately fought the two Body Tempering Seventh Level cultivators from the Xie Family.

His strength had already reached the eighth layer, so Wu Yun was not worried that he would lose out.

In only two moves, Lin Dong forced the two of them back.

Slap! He then gave Xie Ting a slap.

The heavy palm print made Xie Ting's face burn instantly, and it immediately swelled up.

"Wow!" the onlookers exclaimed.

"Y-you dared to hit me! You dared to hit me..." Humiliated, Xie Ting directly turned into a broken record.

"You spoke without restraint. Naturally, you must pay some price," Lin Dong said coldly.

"Shout it! That was well said!" Wu Yun instructed the disciples beside him to cheer.

"Hehe, Senior Brother likes watching excitement too!"

"Well said!"

"Well said!"

The disciples immediately began shouting along.

That was very much Wu Yun's style.

The people of Mad Blade Martial Arts School had always been arrogant! In an instant, the Xie Family members' faces turned red!

"You... Shut up!"

Xie Ting's gaze was crazed, but tears welled in her eyes. She clearly felt deeply humiliated.

Seeing this, Lin Xia secretly smiled, and her mood improved greatly.

"Enough!"

At that moment, someone stepped out from the crowd.

She wore a fox-fur coat and resembled Xie Ting somewhat. Taking small, delicate steps, she carried herself with great nobility and was far more mature than Xie Ting.

"Sister!" Xie Ting said aggrievedly, her eyes red.

Xie Yingying! Wu Yun recognized her at once.

She was Qingyang Town's genius second only to Lei Li. Like Wu Yun before, she was also at Body Tempering Layer Eight.

Xie Yingying coldly swept her gaze over the group from Mad Blade Martial Arts School who were watching and jeering.

"You're Lin Dong, right? What you did just now was very improper. Recklessness can bring disaster upon your family."

"Heh, this is considered reckless? If I'm not reckless, then should I just endure being bullied by your Xie Family? When your younger sister was being reckless just now, why didn't you come out and say anything? Weren't you afraid of bringing disaster upon your Xie Family? In the end, it's nothing more than seeing whose fist is bigger. The Xie and Lin Families have disliked each other for more than a day or two. If you truly had the ability, you would have driven us out of Qingyang Town long ago."

"She hit someone from my Lin Family, and I hit her back. That is perfectly justified. If you want to win back face for her, then make your move. Saying such things only makes you look ridiculous!"

Xie Yingying was left speechless by the retort. The reason she had not acted was that the strength Lin Dong had displayed earlier was already no weaker than hers.

"Shout it! Well said!" Wu Yun once again had his lackeys cheer.

"Well said!"

"Well said!"

The brothers from Mad Blade Martial Arts School began jeering again.

This method of fanning the flames and cheering made every member of the Xie Family flush red with shame.

Yet they did not dare offend Mad Blade Martial Arts School any further.

"This is a conflict between other families. Why is your Mad Blade Martial Arts School joining in the fun?"

Suddenly, a voice came from the second floor.

A burly man dressed in fitted clothes jumped down from the second floor.

"Lei Li!"

"Big Brother Lei Li!"

The Xie Family members seemed to have found their backbone and gathered around Lei Li. Xie Yingying, in particular, pressed herself against Lei Li aggrievedly.

"Haha, anyone who doesn't watch a good show is a bastard."

Wu Yun said frivolously, "Weren't you watching the show just now too?"

With Lei Li's appearance, Wu Yun no longer kept a low profile.

"Madman!"

Lei Li snorted coldly.

He was also helpless when it came to Wu Yun.

After their last exchange, he had learned Wu Yun's strength.

He could fight him, and it was not as though he could not win, but victory would be extremely difficult.

Lei Li shifted his target to Lin Dong.

"You're Lin Dong, right? You said just now that whoever has the bigger fist has the final say. You slapped Sister Ting just now. It isn't excessive for me to return that slap on her behalf, is it?"

Lei Li intended to use his power to suppress them!

The Lin Family members all looked terrible!

Before Lin Dong could speak, Wu Yun stepped forward. "Excessive. Very excessive. You're surnamed Lei, so what right do you have to help someone surnamed Xie get even?"

Lei Li rolled his eyes. "Xie Ting is my sister!"

Wu Yun shouted, "Your sister!"

"Then why isn't your sister called Lei Ting?"

After Wu Yun said that, the Mad Blade Martial Arts School disciples repeated after him.

"Yeah, why isn't she called Lei Ting?"

"Could she be your father's illegitimate daughter? Or are you the Xie Family's illegitimate son?"

The Mad Blade Martial Arts School disciples eagerly echoed along again.

"Illegitimate son!"

The onlookers all burst into laughter.

Lei Li and Xie Yingying had a marriage contract, so it was indeed not wrong for him to call Xie Ting his younger sister. But not everyone watching knew about their relationship.

Lei Li trembled with rage.

Wu Yun was simply too shameless! "Wu Yun, Big Brother Lei Li and I have a marriage contract. Everyone in Qingyang Town knows that. Xie Ting is naturally his sister. You're simply being unreasonable. Is this how Mad Blade Martial Arts School conducts itself?" Xie Yingying hurriedly stepped out to defend her husband-to-be, her words sharp as she mocked Wu Yun.

Yet Wu Yun was not angered in the slightest. He said calmly, "I don't know whether this is Mad Blade Martial Arts School's style, but it is indeed my style. If you have an opinion, you can raise it with me, though I definitely won't accept it."

The Mad Blade Martial Arts School disciples continued to echo him. "That's right, we won't accept it!"
