Chapter 244 Arrangement
Lin Zhao knew that it was really too much trouble for this somewhat impulsive girl to stay in the carriage for almost a whole day in her place, so he rummaged through his ring and found all the food to give to Jin Ya, while also mentioning his contract with Fan Chen.

"Then bring them out and say they're my younger brothers." Jin Ya said nonchalantly, munching on the pastries Lin Zhao had given her. "Anyway, I have lots and lots of relatives on the Ancestral Phoenix Continent."

Lin Zhao thought it was feasible, but...

“You can’t say he’s your younger brother; you look much younger than him.”

Jin Ya's true form looks like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, even younger than herself, while Fan Chen looks eighteen or nineteen after he fully matured.

Jin Ya bared her teeth menacingly: "I don't care, if you want to bring them out, you have to be my brother! I haven't even bothered about you making contracts with other people besides me! Don't even think about making me your sister!"

Lin Zhao was both amused and exasperated by the little darling's words. No matter how much he tried to persuade her, he couldn't get Jin Ya to agree to be his sister. He could only go back into the secret realm to discuss it with Fan Chen and Zi Yue.

Fan Chen waved his hand: "I can change my appearance. I'll be the younger brother then!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of light appeared on his body, and Fan Chen transformed into a chibi-style little boy with big, watery eyes that could melt anyone's heart. Combined with the chibi-style Zi Yue beside him, the visual impact was doubled.

Lin Zhao cast invisibility spells on the two people, then had them sit on his Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword, and led them out of the secret realm to his carriage.

Jin Ya twitched her nose as she looked at the two little babies who had appeared, and then revealed a very drooling expression: "You smell so good."

Lin Zhao felt that the way she looked at Fan Chen and Zi Yue was not like she was looking at her younger siblings, but rather like she was looking at a feast.

"Those two will be your comrades-in-arms from now on!" Lin Zhao slapped her on the shoulder: "You can't eat your comrades-in-arms!"

Jin Ya took a slurp, then looked away with some regret: "You made me sound so terrifying, how could I possibly want to eat them?"

Lin Zhao: "..." I really want her to look in the mirror and see what she looks like now.

Jin Ya wiped her mouth, afraid that she might drool.

"However, your cultivation level," Jin Ya asked Lin Zhao, "I find it even more terrifying, but... you haven't broken through to the Heartbeat Stage?"

Hearing Jin Ya ask this, Lin Zhao also said helplessly, "I have some feelings about it, but I just can't get to that point."

After completing the drawing of the hidden talisman, Lin Zhao felt his aura gradually reaching an unstable state, as if he was about to break through, but there was still a barrier between him and the talisman.

However, Lin Zhao was not in a hurry. Once he had this feeling, the breakthrough would be a natural thing.

Before the two could say anything more, a disciple from the Phoenix Medicine Sect called out from outside: "Miss Zhao, Elder Yang is looking for you..."

Lin Zhao gestured for the three to shush, then lifted the carriage curtain and stepped out.

Elder Yang was waiting for Lin Zhao in the front carriage. When he saw Lin Zhao board, he said, "Young friend Ling'er, please forgive my abrupt invitation."

Lin Zhao quickly returned the greeting: "Elder, please speak freely."

Elder Yang said with a smile, "I called you here today because I wanted to talk to you about your joining the Phoenix Medicine Sect as an apprentice."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao's expression turned slightly serious, and he asked, "Is it related to the Second Elder's faction?"

Elder Yang exclaimed, "Young friend, you are indeed exceptionally intelligent. I have a favor to ask of you."

After saying that, he sighed: "I suppose you already know that the Second Elder is now in charge of the Phoenix Medicine Sect?" Lin Zhao smiled and nodded: "Yes, I suppose the Second Elder's peak has good resources."

Elder Yang's expression was somewhat unpleasant, but he finally spoke: "This time, I just want to ask you, young friend, not to join the Second Elder's peak."

A deep glint flashed in Lin Zhao's eyes as he asked, "Is there something wrong with the Second Elder's peak?"

Elder Yang's gaze froze for a moment upon hearing this: "Young friend?"

Lin Zhao quickly replied, "It's just a guess."

Elder Yang set up a soundproof barrier before daring to speak: "Although I don't know if it's just my imagination, I always feel that since the sect leader's last disciple was expelled from the sect three hundred years ago, the Second Elder has become increasingly strange, especially in his relentless pursuit of cultivators who left the sect for a secret technique of the sect."

Lin Zhao subconsciously thought of his Phoenix Vein Technique, so the sect leader's closed-door disciple must be Elder Cheng.

Elder Cheng wanted to help him clear his name. At first, Lin Zhao could only be certain that the current leader of the Phoenix Medicine Sect was at odds with Elder Cheng and was very likely the one who framed Elder Cheng.

Hearing Elder Yang's words, Lin Zhao's initial 60% guess was now 80% certain, with only 20% remaining to be confirmed by Elder Yang.

"Logically speaking, according to our sect's previous practices, we only need to hunt down the disciple who betrayed the sect. However, the Second Elder is suspicious of every disciple who leaves the sect. Over the years, all the talented disciples who have entered the sect have been recruited into his own sect. However, within three years, these talented disciples have all become mediocre and eccentric. I have tried to contact a few of them and found that they are all like completely different people."

After saying this, Elder Yang said, "What I'm worried about is that after you join the Second Elder's sect, it's a small matter that your talent will remain mediocre, but the real problem is that you'll be completely unrecognizable."

Lin Zhao nodded: "Thank you for the reminder, Elder Yang. I will pay attention."

Seeing Lin Zhao say this, Elder Yang sighed: "I can't keep up with you young people, but I still hope you will think it over carefully."

Lin Zhao naturally agreed, and after getting off the carriage, a plan took shape in his mind.

Grandma Honghu noticed her thoughts and said, "Isn't this a bit risky?"

Lin Zhao clapped his hands: "Nothing ventured, nothing gained! We have to give it a try!"

Seeing Lin Zhao's expression, Grandma Honghu knew she couldn't stop the little girl, so she could only say, "Then be careful."

Lin Zhao returned to the carriage and shared his thoughts with the three of them.

Jin Ya: "You mean you want me to disguise myself as you and join the peak you've assigned? And you'll disguise yourself as someone else and join the Second Elder's faction?"

Fan Chen's expression was grim: "You mean Zi Yue and I won't follow you, and will settle down near the Phoenix Medicine Sect first?"

Zi Yue's eyes sparkled: "Master means to give us enough money to pretend to be mortals and have fun?!"

Lin Zhao nodded to each of them: "Yes, that's pretty much the idea. I can only feel at ease entrusting these arduous tasks to you!"

Jin Ya snorted, "Fine, I'll reluctantly grant your request!"

Although Fan Chen was somewhat unwilling, he obediently kept quiet after being glared at by Zi Yue.

Lin Zhao said, "Okay, about three days later, we'll take the teleportation array to the vicinity of the Phoenix Medicine Sect, and then we'll disguise ourselves as I said before and complete our respective tasks. We'll contact each other through the Heavenly Mirror afterward."
