Xue Qing'er

"Who goes there?"

Sensing that extraordinarily formidable presence, Lin Tian's and Su Zhiyuan's pupils abruptly contracted, their hearts pounding wildly!

That presence was far too powerful, far beyond anything either of them knew!

And what worried them even more was undoubtedly the safety of Su Ying and Lin Yu!

If an expert from the Yin Mystic Sect appeared now, Su Ying and Lin Yu would most likely face disaster rather than good fortune!

Meanwhile, some spectators who knew nothing of what had happened gathered around.

These people had not seen Lin Yu clear the area earlier.

"Hehe, I heard there was a show to watch at the Lin Household today. Turns out it's true!"

"Indeed, so many experts have gathered here. This presence is truly terrifying!"

"Is this person coming for the Lin Household? Then they're really in danger!"

"Yes, this must at least be a Golden Core Stage expert!"

"I wouldn't be so sure. Can any of you see through that young man on the Lin Household's side?"

"..."

The experts watching chattered among themselves, ready to feast their eyes on the spectacle!

Lin Tian and Su Zhiyuan, however, stood ready to face the enemy.

They were prepared to stake their lives again at any moment!

Yet, the next second.

When those two figures suddenly became clear.

Lin Tian and Su Zhiyuan both froze.

A delicate-looking young girl and a beautiful woman who appeared to be around thirty came into view.

The woman had an otherworldly bearing and a calm expression, radiating an icy presence that kept others a thousand miles away.

The powerful pressure faintly emanating from her made every expert present draw a sharp breath!

"Ying... Ying'er?"

Su Zhiyuan and Lin Tian stared, dumbfounded, at the girl beside the powerful woman.

She was none other than Su Zhiyuan's daughter, Su Ying!

Earlier, Lin Tian and Su Zhiyuan had forcibly sent Su Ying away.

Yet now Su Ying had appeared here, accompanying this powerful woman.

Lin Tian and Su Zhiyuan could make neither head nor tail of it.

"Father! Uncle Lin! I'm all right!"

Her large eyes blinking, Su Ying waved at them with some excitement.

"Little Ying, where are those experts you said were attacking your family?"

At that moment, the beautiful woman finally spoke.

Even her voice seemed to carry an otherworldly quality, transcending the mundane.

Hearing that voice, the experts present could not help feeling somewhat dazed.

"What terrifying strength!"

Lin Tian and Su Zhiyuan were both shaken to the core!

Merely the sound of her voice had already left them dazed.

They were experts at peak Foundation Establishment!

Then how strong was this mysterious woman?

Golden Core high tier?

Or even... Nascent Soul?

Lin Tian and Su Zhiyuan dared not think any further.

This was simply not an expert people at their level could come into contact with!

Fortunately, she did not seem hostile.

"Master, I'm puzzled too. They were just here."

Su Ying sounded somewhat confused as well.

Earlier, she had been pursued by experts from the Li Household. At the instant between life and death, a flash of white light had swept past.

This mysterious woman before her had appeared and insisted quite forcefully on taking her as a disciple.

Su Ying's first thought had been that perhaps this could resolve the crisis at home!

After naturally becoming her disciple, the two had hurried back to the Lin Household together.

Su Ying did not know much about this master who had suddenly appeared in her life.

She knew only that her name was Xue Qing'er.

"There is no trace of the people you mentioned here."

Xue Qing'er's powerful soul force swept across the entire area. She shook her head and spoke coolly.

"It's been a long time."

At that moment, a voice carrying a faint laugh reached Xue Qing'er's ears.

Xue Qing'er's gaze instantly turned icy.

She raised her head, about to flare up, only to meet Lin Yu's handsome face, which wore a faint smile.

Xue Qing'er froze.

She did not know why.

But she kept feeling that there was something familiar about the person before her.

That feeling came not from his presence or appearance, but from his soul.

The person before her seemed to stir faint ripples within her soul...

As Lin Yu looked at Xue Qing'er, he, too, felt somewhat moved.

In his previous life, it was precisely Xue Qing'er's timely arrival that had saved Lin Tian and the others.

Xue Qing'er had truly bestowed a life-saving kindness upon the Lin Household!

And much later, through various coincidences, Lin Yu had also.

Shared some stories with this manor lord of Clear Frost Manor, Xue Qing'er.

He simply had not expected their reunion to happen in this manner.

"What's going on? These two seem to know each other?"

"No idea, but neither of them looks like someone to mess with!"

"Heavens, just how many supreme experts are going to appear today?"

"Who cares? Getting to see this is a gain in itself!"

"From now on, we must never provoke the Lin Household again!"

Lin Yu's words instantly prompted cries of surprise and sidelong glances from the watching experts!

To think these two mysterious experts both seemed to stand with the Lin Household!

If anyone remained blind enough to disrespect the Lin Household in the future, they might very well end up reduced straight to dust and ashes!

Many people silently made up their minds.

In their eyes, the Lin Household had already become an existence they must not provoke!

Meanwhile.

"You just took this girl as your disciple, didn't you?"

Lin Yu took a step, arriving beside Xue Qing'er, and smiled as he looked at Su Ying behind her.

The distance between the two instantly became extremely small.

Xue Qing'er could even feel Lin Yu's breath.

Xue Qing'er's small hand lifted slightly, and her little mouth moved gently, but she did not strike.

Even she herself did not know why.

Had the disciples of Clear Frost Manor witnessed this scene, their jaws would probably have dropped in shock!

Their manor lord, normally cold as frost and keeping everyone a thousand miles away.

Was actually standing so close to an unfamiliar man!

This was simply something that could never happen!

"That's right. Little Ying is indeed the disciple I just accepted."

Xue Qing'er stared into Lin Yu's eyes and spoke slowly.

Even she did not realize that, as she said this, her tone had unconsciously taken on a measure of gentleness.

"Who are you, and why do you know my name?"

There was some puzzlement in Xue Qing'er's eyes.

Their Clear Frost Manor had never set foot in such a remote corner of the Savage Wilderness.

Had she not happened to pass through on business today, she would never have had any dealings with these people.

"Who I am isn't important."

Lin Yu shook his head:

"However, the way your Clear Frost Manor would train her isn't suitable."

Xue Qing'er's gaze sharpened.

"If I'm not mistaken, you intend to teach her your Clear Frost Manor's fifth-tier cultivation method, the Clear Frost Art, directly."

"But her constitution actually isn't entirely suited to such an excessively icy cultivation method..."

Lin Yu slowly shook his head as he spoke. He knew the side effects of the Clear Frost Art very well.

If Su Ying rashly practiced this cultivation method, the price she paid would certainly not be small.

Hearing this, Xue Qing'er's expression changed again, and her eyes grew still more solemn.

The young man before her had not only accurately voiced what she was thinking.

He even knew the secrets of their Clear Frost Manor like the palm of his hand!

Just who was this young man?

At the same time.

When the onlookers heard Lin Yu's words, a succession of shocked gasps instantly rang out!

Their eyes went wide as they stared at Lin Yu, Xue Qing'er, and the others like hungry wolves.

A fifth-tier cultivation method?

Had they heard correctly?

That was something they did not dare imagine even in their dreams!
