A Visit

"Master Lin, it's highly unlikely that my teacher would associate with such wolves and tigers." Yun Yun shook her head at the end.

Yun Yun was somewhat skeptical about Yun Shan's claim that he had joined such an evil organization.

In her memory, her teacher was a righteous and gentle gentleman, unlikely to defect to such an evil organization for the sake of power, but the Great Elder and the others were more likely to do so.

However, listening to Lin Qing's words, considering his identity, his understanding of the Misty Cloud Sect and the Soul Hall, and his confident demeanor, she still felt somewhat shaken.

"Alright! After all, you yourself are a little hesitant to believe it, aren't you?" Lin Qing said, spreading his hands.

"Given the Soul Hall's modus operandi and my conflict with the Soul Hall, only one Soul Hall us can exist from now on."

Having said that much, Lin Qing revealed his purpose.

"However, a necessary review is still needed. I'll need to confirm it then, after all, people can't stay the same forever, and no one can live in the past forever, right?"

"Okay!" In the end, Yun Yun agreed to Lin Qing's request, hoping that her teacher had not fallen into the abyss.

By agreeing to Lin Qing's Lin Qing, she could gain proximity to the Green Emperor Pavilion he had established, which would give Misty Cloud Sect a certain degree of influence within the Green Emperor Pavilion in the future. Furthermore, there was always the possibility that, as Lin Qing had said, her master could indeed be saved.

After all, according to Lin Qing, the Soul Hall is not only extremely evil, but also very powerful. Lin Qing has several Dou Venerable under her command and a mysterious background, so she should be able to protect her master and a group of elders and disciples.

Looking at the gentle and refined young man, Yun Yun felt a surge of helplessness as she clenched and unclenched her hands, thinking of his strength. She furrowed her brows almost imperceptibly, but quickly relaxed them again.

'Teacher, please don't do anything foolish!'

Yun Yun murmured to herself. She was uncertain about the future. Faced with the overwhelming situation, she could only hope that her teacher and the disciples of the Misty Cloud Sect were safe and sound.

If what Lin Qing said is true, I only hope that my master can be let go.

"When will Master Lin be available to travel to Jia Ma Sacred City? I can then take you to my teacher's secluded retreat." After putting aside her concerns, Yun Yun asked.

"In a few days, my sister is currently in seclusion. Once she emerges, I will head to the Jia Ma Sacred City." Seeing that Yun Yun had no further questions, Lin Qing smiled.

"Very well, then I will wait for Master's arrival at the Misty Cloud Sect!" Yun Yun immediately stood up and bowed gracefully to Lin Qing.

"Don't worry, even if Yun Shan has already sided with the Soul Hall, I will still let him go!"

Lin Qing nodded slightly.

For him, Yun Shan poses no threat at all now; even if he survives, he will only become one of his subordinates.

He was confident he could subdue Yun Shan.

On one side is the filthy, disgusting, and gloomy Soul Hall; on the other side is a promising Eighth-Grade genius Alchemist.

I believe Yun Shan knows how to make the right choice. Even if he doesn't, he will make the right choice for the sake of the legacy left by his ancestors.

After agreeing that Lin Qing would go to the Jia Ma Sacred City to check on the condition of Yun Shan at the Misty Cloud Sect, Yun Yun left. Tonight, she and her guests would stay at the Xiao Clan's residence. The large Xiao Clan could easily afford to prepare some guest rooms to accommodate their guests.

Although some of them had places to stay in Wutan City, they still chose to stay at the Xiao Clan to show their closeness.

At night, Nalan Jie brought his granddaughter Nalan Yanran to Lin Qing's Small Courtyard.

Upon seeing the grandfather and grandson arrive, Lin Qing smiled inwardly, "They must be here to treat the Brand Poison!"

"Haha, Master Lin, please forgive my intrusion!" Nalan Jie laughed heartily.

"Mr. Nalan, you flatter me. Please come in!" Lin Qing said, glancing at the two of them.

Nalan Jie, who had just entered, saw that Lin Qing did not show any obvious displeasure, and his uneasy mood calmed down slightly.

Upon entering the Small Courtyard, Nalan Jie clasped his hands in greeting and said, "Actually, the Nalan Family and the Xiao Clan were on good terms before. I was even sworn brothers with the former patriarch of the Xiao Clan family. Since the Xiao Clan withdrew from the Holy City, I haven't visited for a long time, which has chilled the friendship between the two families. I feel very sorry for this; it's all my fault."

"I've come to the Xiao Clan this time to strengthen our relationship and finalize the marriage between Yanran and your cousin Xiao Yan as soon as possible."

Nalan Jie knew that Xiao Yan's talent had been restored. Even if he missed three years, with Lin Qing's help, it was still possible for him to become a Dou Emperor in the future, and even Dou Zong was not impossible.

Thinking that he hadn't let his granddaughter run wild, hadn't offended a Master Alchemist, and hadn't offended a future powerhouse, the weight that had been weighing on his heart finally lifted.

"Mr. Nalan is joking. Although your physique is extraordinary and you possess the aura of a strong person, you are actually deficient in qi and blood, and your body is unusually thin. There is also a faint dark complexion on your face, which suggests that you have been poisoned by some kind of deadly poison. It is understandable that you were unable to come to the Xiao Clan sooner."

Lin Qing felt neither dislike nor affection for the old man, but he could understand him. When you're down on your luck, it's already quite kind of an old friend not to kick you when you're down but to offer some help; that's the reality of the adult world.

After all, he had been seriously injured a few years ago, and the entire family depended on him alone.

As for why he didn't come earlier, he was already kind enough to facilitate the Xiao Clan's evacuation from Jia Ma Sacred City.

Seeing that Lin Qing didn't blame him, Nalan Jie breathed a slight sigh of relief, but then he couldn't help but ask again.

"Master Lin, two years ago, I fought a Tier 5 Magical Beast Branding Iron Poison Python. Although I eventually killed it, I was unfortunately injected with a terrifying toxin Brand Poison. In order to suppress the toxin, I can't even use half of my strength. Now, I have to endure inhuman torture every day."

"Although I once asked Elder Gu He of the Misty Cloud Sect to help me neutralize the poison, this Brand Poison is deeply embedded in my bones and even bone marrow, and no Medicinal Pill can remove it. Although Master Gu He did not succeed in removing the poison, he still proposed a feasible solution, which is the use of Heavenly Flames!"

At this point, the worry on Nalan Jie's face was replaced by a flush of excitement. He looked at Lin Qing with sincere eyes and asked, "Master Lin, is there any hope for me in my current state?"

"This minor illness is indeed curable for me, without even needing Heavenly Flames, but I have a better candidate here. He is more capable of treating you wholeheartedly than I am," Lin Qing said, shaking his head slightly.

The Seven Mirage Green Spirit Saliva in Nalan Jie's possession is no longer of any use to him, so it's better to let Xiao Yan use it. In any case, Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran have already set a wedding date, and they will be a family in the future. It would be good for them to get to know each other in advance. Besides, Yao Chen also needs the Seven Mirage Green Spirit Saliva.
