On the way back to the sect, the spirit boat of the Jade Balance Sword Palace moved slowly, leisurely drifting across the sky.
Lin Xuan sat at the bow of the boat, calmly watching the clouds drift by.
Behind him stood Chen Xiong, looking worried, and Qin Feng, who seemed to want to say something but hesitated, along with Yunyi, who was observing and sizing up this "Senior Brother Qin" in front of him.
After enduring it for a moment, Qin Feng still couldn't hold back.
"S-senpai, I think... maybe I should just forget about it?"
"You should seriously reconsider. While my talent is decent, the Scarlet Ghost King is ultimately a problem. If you take me as your disciple, he will definitely not let you off the hook..."
Mentioning the Scarlet Ghost King, Qin Feng's brows furrowed with pain, but he still tried his best to dissuade Lin Xuan, unwilling to harm this kind-hearted senior.
Lin Xuan didn't even turn his head, holding a fishing rod in his hand, fishing in the clouds.
"I told you, you don't need to concern yourself with this matter anymore. Since I dared to take you in, I naturally have no fear of the Scarlet Ghost King."
Yunyi was carefully wiping the guqin, sat to the side with a composed demeanor. Listening to the conversation between her junior brother and master, she asked with some curiosity, "Master, who is the Scarlet Ghost King?"
Sounds pretty impressive?
She was not from the Heron Empire, so naturally she didn't know who the Scarlet Ghost King was.
The task of explaining was naturally not Lin Xuan's responsibility. Seeing that he had a chance to prove himself, Chen Xiong put on a pained expression and began to explain.
He first cited examples of the evil deeds committed by the Scarlet Ghost King, and then specifically pointed out that the Scarlet Ghost King was a powerful expert at the King Realm Fifth Level Perfection.
After listening, Yunyi nodded thoughtfully, looking at the bitter and fearful expressions on Qin Feng and Chen Xiong's faces, she couldn't help but laugh and cry.
She couldn't help but smile, "Master, should I send someone to kill that Scarlet Ghost King?"
Yunyi's words were truly astounding.
Chen Xiong was so shocked that his eyes widened, and Qin Feng was also extremely astonished, staring at his junior sister as if he were dumbfounded.
Send someone?
Go and kill the Scarlet Ghost King...?
No... does she really know what she's saying?
The Scarlet Ghost King is a powerful figure comparable to the ancestor of the Heron Empire's royal family... Moreover, after all these years, he may have reached the King Realm Fifth Level Perfection, making him far beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Judging from the tone of this junior sister in Yunyi, it seemed that in her eyes, the Scarlet Ghost King was nothing more than an insignificant cat or dog that she could crush at will...
this.
Is this reasonable?
Lin Xuan smiled faintly at Yunyi's good intentions and casually shook his head.
"No need. This trouble was caused by your senior brother. I will handle it myself. If he dares to come, I will personally kill him."
Not to mention that Lin Xuan himself is not afraid of the Scarlet Ghost King, his protector, Heavenly Venerable Yunli, the first pavilion master of the Sword Pavilion, although his strength has not yet recovered to its peak, he now has the cultivation of the Emperor Realm.
It's just a mere Scarlet Ghost King; we can kill him. What's there to be afraid of?
Of course, Lin Xuan didn't think Yunyi was exaggerating.
Others may not know, but Lin Xuan knows very well.
Yunyi truly possesses that ability. After all, she is the number one genius of the Spirit True Empire, and her background is not simple. He could see from the information given by the system that the Yun Household, to which Yunyi belongs, is a Spirit True Empire.
Her words alone are enough to prove that, at the very least, a powerful figure like the Scarlet Ghost King, King Realm Fifth Level, is someone she could easily crush in her eyes.
Seeing that Lin Xuan refused, Yunyi did not insist. She stayed by Lin Xuan's side, resting her chin on her hand and looking down at the sea of clouds, chatting casually.
The master and apprentice got along well.
But listening to their back-and-forth conversation, Chen Xiong and Qin Feng, standing behind them, felt utterly numb.
In their mouths, the Scarlet Ghost King was like some nameless nobody, an ant that could be crushed at any time and place, rather than the demon that everyone in the Heron Empire feared.
One suggested sending someone to behead him.
One said he would personally behead him.
Is this... is this normal?
The two of them froze on the spot, unable to utter a single word, their faces turning red with frustration.
Seeing the expressions on Chen Xiong and Qin Feng's faces, Lin Xuan couldn't help but chuckle.
He shook his head. "Do you two think Yunyi is joking?"
Chen Xiong and Qin Feng remained silent.
Do they dare to say it?
They not only thought Yunyi was joking, but they also thought Lin Xuan's words were a joke.
That's the Scarlet Ghost King, a demon who has troubled Qin Feng for countless years, a being at the King Realm Fifth Level Perfection...
As if knowing what the two were thinking, Lin Xuan put away his fishing rod, pulled up a Cloud-Winged Fish, threw it into the empty bucket next to him, and casually shook his head.
"If you knew who she was, you wouldn't think that way."
