Chapter 486 Foreword Retracted
When Lin Zhao finished refining the pills and came out of the secret realm, the Panlong Pagoda had been mostly repaired. However, when he heard Uncle Feng address him as Elder Lin, Lin Zhao still couldn't hold back his emotions.

"What did you call me?"

Lin Yi explained to her, "I've discussed it with the other elders. The previous ranking system of Panlong Tower will remain unchanged. We'll leave three positions open for the Venerable Elders. You will be the First Venerable Elder, Jin Xianzi the Second Venerable Elder, and Brother Ming Gui the Third Venerable Elder."

Lin Zhao: "..."

Jin Ya, who was busy grinding her teeth, flew into a rage upon hearing this: "Why should I be ranked the same as that old man? I want the third place!"

Ming Gui sighed, thinking that this ranking was based on the assumption that this little rascal would absolutely not want to be ranked below anyone other than Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao nodded, indicating that he understood. After giving the pill to Lin Yi, he learned that it had been almost a month since he left the Northwest Army. He quickly exchanged his Tian Tong account with Lin Yi and then took Jin Ya with him, intending to leave.

As for Minggui, he felt that this area was very suitable for his cultivation, so he planned to stay here for a while longer.

Lin Zhao felt more at ease leaving him there, so he called Jin Ya and prepared to leave.

Before she could leave, Cui Qingwan and the old woman stopped her.

Lin Zhao looked at them with a hint of doubt.

"I heard from the Tower Master that you are going to the Western District Legion?" the old woman asked.

Lin Zhao saw her empty eye sockets, took a breath, smelled the medicinal fragrance on her, and said, "Yes, senior is also an alchemist? Your eyes..."

"We can get better if we find the right herbs." Grandma Kong didn't care about her eyesight. For cultivators above the Golden Core stage, their spiritual perception is clearer than their eyesight. For an alchemist of her level, the regeneration of lost flesh and organs is not a problem.

It just needs some medicinal herbs to help.

Do you know anyone named Feng Chenlan in the Western District Army?

Lin Zhao was taken aback; she really didn't know. But it didn't matter; she could ask Kong Hui.

After Kong Hui replied to the message, Lin Zhao looked at the old woman with a somewhat subtle gaze: "The person in charge of the Western District Legion is Lord Feng. May I ask who you are?"

Grandma Kong touched her empty eyes: "I am his Daoist partner."

……

Lin Zhao transformed back into Zhao Lin and rushed to find the West District Legion, but she still went overtime.

Kong Hui, who was in charge of the patrol, sighed when she saw her from afar. Feng Chenlan, who was next to her, said in a serious tone, "The Kong family has strict discipline. Don't forget how your aunt set an example back then. Your father is still being watched by other families in the capital."

Kong Hui had no choice but to give up.

Little did she know that the girl, who usually seemed quite clever, was now acting like a fool, waving in her direction incessantly.

Isn't this blatantly showing favoritism?

This made Kong Hui's expression less than pleasant.

Voluntarily opening back doors for others and being forced to do so are two different things.

Kong Hui stopped in her tracks, displeased, and telepathically instructed the guards to let Zhao Lin in.

Sure enough, the woman rushed straight towards him as soon as she entered.

As Kong Hui began to doubt why she had initially chosen such a cultivator, Feng Chenlan mocked, "He's eager for quick success and instant benefits, and he's obviously a sycophantic scoundrel. This kind of person is disorganized, undisciplined, and still wants to climb the ranks by relying on connections. His presence in the Western District Legion is an insult to the reputation of our Western District Legion."

Kong Hui remained silent upon hearing this.

To everyone's surprise, when the girl approached them, the first person she looked at wasn't her, but Feng Chenlan.

Feng Chenlan met the girl's gaze and frowned: "You..."

Without saying a word, Lin Zhao said to him, "I have important matters to report to you, sir!"

Feng Chenlan sneered, "I don't have time to talk to you. You're no longer a soldier of my Western District Legion. If you want to join, you'll have to be selected again." Lin Zhao took out a handwritten prescription from his sleeve: "Does Your Excellency recognize this handwriting?"

Feng Chenlan glanced at it, and her expression froze.

He then stared intently at Lin Zhao, took the prescription from Lin Zhao's hand and examined it carefully for a long time, his breathing gradually becoming rapid: "Where did you get this prescription? Where is the original owner of the prescription?"

Lin Zhao said, "Please, sir, let's speak in private."

Then Lin Zhao saw the usually stern-faced person in charge, Feng Chenlan, twitch violently, and after a long struggle, finally nod with difficulty: "Follow me."

Seeing this, Kong Hui was worried that Lin Zhao would be beaten to death, so she followed him.

Once inside Feng Chenlan's private tent, Feng Chenlan set up an array to isolate it from the outside world. He looked at Lin Zhao and asked, "Where did you get this?"

"It was given to me by an old lady surnamed Kong."

"Your surname is Kong... what is your relationship with her?"

“We’ve only known each other for a short time. Your mother-in-law is waiting for you outside the military camp. She said you’ll understand when you see this.”

"Take me there! Kong Hui, you continue the patrol here. I'll ask for a day off!"

Kong Hui was incredibly curious about all these changes in her uncle, but having been given this task, she could only reluctantly accept it and watch Feng Chenlan and Lin Zhao leave.

Lin Zhao led his men to an inn in a small town near the training ground.

Upon reaching the door Lin Zhao had indicated, Feng Chenlan suddenly grabbed her and asked, "Do I look in any way indecent right now?"

Lin Zhao: “?”

Feng Chenlan: "Is it ugly?"

He looked like he had cast several cleansing spells on himself.

Lin Zhao's lips twitched: "Not ugly at all, you look extremely handsome, sir."

This is not a lie. Feng Chenlan looks like he is in his prime. No cultivator is ugly. At most, his features are not so delicate, but as a military general, it adds a touch of rugged and wild beauty to him.

Feng Chenlan was relieved and pushed open the door. The first thing she saw was a pair of gentle, watery eyes, and she frowned: "Ah Kong, how much suffering have you endured? Your eyes look different, and you've lost so much weight?"

He remembered that Daoist partners weren't supposed to be delicate, frail girls like this. And how could someone as young as A-Kong be considered a mother-in-law?
Cui Qingwan's lips twitched upon hearing this. "You've mistaken me for someone else."

As she said this, Cui Qingwan sighed, realizing that her mother and Granny Kong did indeed look remarkably alike.

After all, she looks exactly like her mother when she was young.

The reason why Granny Kong was taken away by the Second Elder was partly due to her appearance.

As soon as Cui Qingwan spoke, Feng Chenlan knew that she was not his Daoist partner.

His Daoist partner never speaks in such a delicate and sweet voice; she's the kind of girl who could take on three of him with a single punch.

"Anan?"

Feng Chenlan was stunned when he saw the old woman who came out of the inner room with a full head of white hair and empty eyes.

"Don't you recognize me?"

Feng Chenlan took a few steps forward and touched the area around the old woman's eyes: "Who... did this?"

"That person is dead. I am very grateful to Miss Zhao for being able to come back alive."

Before Lin Zhao arrived, he had already told the two of them about his situation in the Western District Legion, so Granny Kong naturally changed her way of addressing Lin Zhao.

Upon hearing this, Feng Chenlan's expression became somewhat unnatural.
