One skill point per second, I turn fireballs into forbidden spells.

Chapter 666 If a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake, is it still a powerful dragon?

Xi Yue and Xiao Ao Shu didn't respond, their eyes fixed intently on the person beside them, leaving the choice to Lin Yi.

Both women were kind-hearted; how could they bear to stand idly by when they encountered such a tragic young girl?
Moreover, with strength at your disposal, what is there to fear about making enemies of local bullies?

"No, what are you three whispering about behind my back? Could it be that you three are sent by those old bastards to steal my Tian Shu Pavilion's techniques?"

Zhang Yun's deliberately serious voice rang out, and in that instant, the atmosphere became tense.

Before Lin Yi could even formulate his words to accept his new master's offer, Zhang Yun glared at him with hostility. How was he going to explain this now?

Just as the atmosphere was getting increasingly tense, a playful laugh broke the awkward silence.

"Hehe, why are you taking this so seriously? I was just kidding."

"No, what's wrong? Your sect leader is so young, can't he be a little more lively and crack a joke?"

You wouldn't believe it if I told you this girl was only sixteen. Have you ever seen a sect leader joke about something this important?

After a simple apprenticeship ceremony, Lin Yi and his two companions bid farewell to Ade and followed Zhang Yun into Ciyun Peak.

To be precise, after a brief exchange of pleasantries, Ade was ruthlessly chased away by Zhang Yun, who showed no regard for the favor Ade had done in helping him take on a disciple.

Not far from Ciyun Peak, on the branches of a towering tree that reaches into the clouds, two middle-aged men in identical uniforms are glaring angrily at Lin Yi and his group of four.

"Brother, I can't hold back any longer."

"Where did this brat come from? He doesn't know his place and dares to interfere in the affairs of the eight prefectures of Yunzhou. He's got some nerve! Why don't we just skip the report and beat that kid to death? As for those two girls, hehe, what do you think, brother?"

"One has an extraordinary temperament, and the other is well-behaved and cute. They each have their own merits. We brothers are really blessed."

Before he could finish speaking, the middle-aged man next to him slapped him across the neck.

"Are you crazy, kid? That guy is obviously no pushover. Even with the waiter's introduction, he still dares to interfere in the affairs of the eight prefectures of Yunzhou. Do you think he's someone without connections?"

"Don't be fooled by the fact that he doesn't seem to have any aura. He might be hiding his true strength in some way. Why are you risking your life for a few dozen silver coins a month? This is no place for us to do this."

The man who had been hit realized that the argument made sense, so he nodded, and the two left the surveillance area together.

Two breaths later, two more middle-aged men in identical uniforms returned to the surveillance point.

The fate of the entire Yunzhou—no, the fate of the entire Xiangwu Star—quietly began to shift at this moment.

The air in the Liuyun Hall of Tianshu Pavilion was filled with the rich scent of sandalwood, giving it a lively, homely atmosphere.

One hundred and eight tablets are enshrined on the altar, all of whom are people who have made great contributions to the Tian Shu Pavilion throughout history.

As for the disciples of past generations, all those whose corpses remain in the pavilion have small golden statues standing below the spirit platform.

"Master, doesn't our Tian Shu Pavilion have no other disciples? How come we have so much money to spend? This sandalwood smells of good quality; it must be expensive."

"Could these expenses be deducted from our entry fee?"

Zhang Yun wasn't good at discussing martial arts techniques or mental cultivation methods, but she got really into it when it came to using clever tricks.

"How could that be? Your joining my Tian Shu Pavilion has already relieved me of many urgent problems. I'm overjoyed, how could I ask you to pay any miscellaneous fees?"

"Our Tian Shu Pavilion possesses excellent cultivation techniques and mental cultivation methods. Those outside, including the eight prefectures of Yunzhou, are practically eyeing them every day. After my father passed away, the eight prefectures of Yunzhou and other prominent forces have frequently come to inquire about our pavilion's signature mental cultivation methods and techniques." "Your master, the sect leader, hasn't missed a single benefit they offered; I've accepted them all. Hehe, anyway, I haven't explicitly promised them anything. Right now, our Tian Shu Pavilion is quite wealthy."

"Disciples, heed my command!"

Zhang Yun is charming and cute, the kind of girl who comes from a wealthy family.

Wearing a Taoist robe does add a touch of seriousness, but once she cheers, her adorable appearance makes it impossible to be serious when you look at her.

"exist!"

To cooperate with Zhang Yun, Lin Yi and the other two suppressed their laughter and happily agreed.

"Today is a great day for my Tian Shu Pavilion. Why is it a great day? My Tian Shu Pavilion once stood proudly at the top of the clouds, and it also fell into the abyss and suffered a devastating disaster. But my Tian Shu Pavilion will be revitalized in the hands of my eighty-first generation successor! It will reach unprecedented heights!"

"And you, my beloved disciples, will stand together with your master to build this supreme honor!"

After Zhang Yun uttered those words with great arrogance, she suddenly fell silent.

The entire Liuyun Hall fell silent instantly.

After a few breaths, faint sobs could be heard.

Falling from the clouds to the bottom of the valley—isn't that a perfect description of Zhang Yun herself?

At a carefree age, he was forced to take on the heavy responsibility of revitalizing Tian Shu Pavilion.

She walked this path alone, with no one she could trust. Those who spoke kindly to her were all plotting against her. Who could know how much grievance she harbored in her heart as she walked this far alone?

This girl is only sixteen!

Hearing the increasingly clear sobs, Xi Yue began to feel sorry for the little girl who had experienced something similar to her own.

Xi Yue came to be just like that back then.

However, unlike others, Xi Yue has many reliable partners who will stand up for her and help her when she encounters setbacks and difficulties.

Just as Xi Yue was about to step forward to comfort the little girl and say something like "we will accompany you on your journey," Zhang Yun suddenly raised her head, wiped away the glistening tears from the corners of her eyes, and then revealed a sweet smile.

"Disciples, I was a little too excited today and lost my composure. You are not allowed to remember this, and you are not allowed to laugh!"

What Yunzhou Eight Prefectures, what Xiang Wuxing, are nothing but stepping stones on Lin Yi's road to success.

Originally, Lin Yi planned to keep a low profile, quietly complete his goal, and then leave Xiangwu Star. But today, Lin Yi's plan has changed.

He decided to become the kind of meddlesome person he hated.

The bullying of the weak and the abuse of power occur without exception in every star system of the Three Realms and Six Paths.

The reason Lin Yi intervened was not because he was a saint, but because Zhang Yun, despite being in dire straits, still maintained a kind heart and regarded Lin Yi and the other two as family.

Lin Yi couldn't ignore her situation.
