Weird, my gaming life

On the other side, after finding the right direction, Lin Yuan grabbed Zhao Ran's hand and quickly weaved through the woods.

Soon they encountered Xiao Weiran, who was anxiously searching for his daughter.

Xiao Weiran's anxious expression instantly turned to joy upon seeing Lin Yuan. Almost in the blink of an eye, Lin Yuan saw a dark figure appear before him.

"Lin Yuan, your senior sister and your senior brother are gone!"

"Master, we got separated during the attack, but I found my senior sister later. We wanted to stay together, but then we heard my eldest brother calling out to us, so she went to find him!"

Xiao Weiran looked at Lin Yuan, who answered his question calmly. His anxious mood eased slightly when he heard that his daughter had gone to find his eldest disciple. His expression was no longer so anxious. After all, his eldest disciple was a first-class expert and protecting his daughter was not a problem.

However, his expression quickly turned serious.

"Why didn't you go find your senior brother?!"

Under Xiao Weiran's direct gaze, Lin Yuan's expression became somewhat hesitant.

Xiao Weiran's expression immediately changed. "Do you doubt your senior brother?!"

"Master... I only have a suspicion. As for whether it's true, you'll have to investigate it yourself!"

"Hmph! Impossible. I took your senior brother into my sect when he was five years old. I watched him grow up from the bottom of my heart. He would never harm Lingling."

Xiao Weiran denied it, as if these words were being spoken to Lin Yuan, yet also as if they were being spoken to himself, in order to deny the unease in his heart.

No matter how much he denied it, his unease grew stronger, so without hesitation, Lin Yuan became the outlet for his frustration.

"Why didn't you stop your senior sister? Let me tell you, if anything happens to Lingling, your status as a nominal disciple will be over!"

Lin Yuan's heart sank. As expected, he had been wronged. However, this was already within his expectations, so Lin Yuan was not affected by Xiao Weiran's words.

"Master, I tried to stop her, but Senior Sister insisted on going to Senior Brother's side, and I was powerless to stop her. Senior Sister Zhao can testify for me on this matter!"

Zhao Ran, who was quietly following behind Lin Yuan, nodded quickly upon hearing his name.

"Senior Uncle Xiao, Junior Brother Lin Yuan did try to stop her, but Lingling insisted on going to Senior Brother Ling Xiao's place despite all the advice!"

Upon hearing the soft, gentle words, Xiao Weiran noticed Zhao Ran, who was being led by his little disciple, and his expression softened somewhat.

"You must be Li Changqing's junior disciple! I'm sorry you had to go through this ordeal. We'll talk about this after we find Lingling. Right and wrong will become clear then."

After saying that, Xiao Weiran looked at Lin Yuan, "Do you still remember which direction your senior sister went?"

Lin Yuan nodded and immediately pointed out the direction.

The next moment, Lin Yuan felt his body lighten, and then he found himself flying off the ground. It turned out that Xiao Weiran was carrying him and Zhao Ran, one in each hand, and they were flying rapidly through the sky.

Before long, Lin Yuan and his two companions arrived at their hiding place. Just as Lin Yuan was about to point out the direction again, two black figures appeared there.

The moment the two met, Xiao Weiran used a burst of true energy to move Lin Yuan and Zhao Ran aside.

The two men in black also changed their expressions drastically upon seeing Xiao Weiran's face.

"Oh no, run!"

However, as soon as the man in black finished speaking, he felt a tremendous force acting on him, and his body was involuntarily and rapidly moved towards Xiao Weiran.

The two of them were like leaves, and under Xiao Weiran's immense internal force, they were unconsciously blown into his hands by a gust of wind.

With a surge of internal force, Xiao Weiran, who was gripping the throats of the two men, caused the black-clad man's mask to shatter.

"You're not from Qinghe Palace! Speak! Why did you come to assassinate my daughter?!"

However, seeing that he had no way to escape Xiao Weiran's control, the man in black simply bit into the poison sac in his mouth, revealing an extreme madness on his face.

"If the old man wants to know why, he should go to hell and ask Yama, the King of Hell!"

After saying that, the man in black was beheaded, a trickle of scarlet blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and he died stiffly in Xiao Weiran's hands.

Watching two assassins commit suicide by poison without hesitation.

Xiao Weiran's anger reached its peak. The next moment, Lin Yuan saw Xiao Weiran unleash a powerful burst of white true energy, causing the surrounding trees to rustle. The corpses of the two men in black in his hands were crushed into a bloody mist by an invisible force.

Lin Yuan's pupils contracted continuously upon seeing this scene. This was the power of a True Immortal! It was simply terrifying.

Looking at the blood raining down from the sky, and Xiao Weiran, who was not stained with a single drop of blood in the rain, Lin Yuan unconsciously swallowed.

This was the first time he had ever seen a Primordial Immortal actually fight so realistically. This level of strength was no weaker than some small cruise missiles in reality!

That kind of vacuum compression is difficult to achieve even in the real world without using some large machines!

Moreover, judging from Xiao Weiran's effortless expression, this kind of attack is obviously a very common ultimate move among those with innate abilities.

"Let's go, let's continue looking for your senior sister!"

After saying that, Xiao Weiran mentioned Lin Yuan and Zhao Ran again and flew in the direction he pointed.

Soon, all three of them heard a series of clanging sounds, and Xiao Weiran flew over with the two of them without thinking.

A few breaths passed.

A maple forest filled with the glint of swords appeared before them, and there Xiao Lingling slumped helplessly on the ground, her eyes filled with worry and fear.

Before him stood Ling Xiao, dressed in white and holding a sword. As Ling Xiao's silver-white sword energy swept across the scene, several black-clad men who had been hiding in the shadows were cleaved in two, their corpses and blood instantly filling the entire maple forest.

Lin Yuan's eyes flickered slightly upon seeing this scene.

"How ruthless, how decisive!"

Lin Yuan's eyelids twitched slightly. He knew he might be in trouble this time. Ling Xiao had gone so far as to kill the assassin who was his accomplice. Clearly, his little scheme to make Xiao Weiran misunderstand him would be completely wasted.

Not only that, he will now be accused of framing a fellow disciple and having malicious intentions in Xiao Weiran's mind.

Just as Lin Yuan was secretly lamenting his misfortune, Xiao Lingling suddenly shouted, "Father! Father! You've finally come!"

At this moment, Ling Xiao seemed to have just seen Xiao Weiran and the other two. He breathed a slight sigh of relief, twirled his sword, sheathed his blood-stained longsword, and bowed slightly.

"master!"

Xiao Weiran released Lin Yuan and Zhao Ran, a hint of relief on his face, and said, "Xiao'er, thank you for your hard work this time!"

"Master, I'm not tired, but I don't know why these thieves came. They wanted to kill me and my junior sister as soon as they saw us. Fortunately, I've learned a lot under your tutelage, otherwise these thieves would have succeeded!"

"Hmm! Not bad, Master was right about you!"

After speaking, Xiao Weiran looked at Xiao Lingling, who was rushing towards him, and tenderly stroked her trembling back. "Now you know how dangerous it is outside! Let's see if you'll still have the heart to practice martial arts!"

"Father! Even at a time like this, you still have the heart to criticize me. If it weren't for my senior brother, you probably would never have seen your daughter again!"

Xiao Lingling sobbed in Xiao Weiran's arms.

This made Xiao Weiran feel quite distressed.

After a while, after the fatherly love and filial piety had subsided, Xiao Weiran glanced at Lin Yuan for no apparent reason, which made Lin Yuan's heart skip a beat. Just as Lin Yuan was thinking about how to deal with the situation, a timid voice rang out.

"Senior Brother Lingxiao, have you seen my eldest senior brother?"

Zhao Ran hesitated beside Lin Yuan, but in truth, she had not seen her senior brother yet, and a bad feeling was creeping into her heart.

Ling Xiao shook his head, then looked at Xiao Weiran, "Master came out to admire the chrysanthemums this time with my two junior sisters, myself, and the eldest brother of the Danyang lineage. Now that our junior sister is alright, why don't we send more people to search for Senior Brother Lin Ran?"

Xiao Weiran withdrew his gaze and nodded.

Later, after Lin Yuan and the others were sent back to Qinghe Palace by Xiao Weiran, a group of outer disciples found Lin Ran's body with his throat cut in a patch of grass.

Upon hearing this news, Zhao Ran nearly burst into tears. After a long while, he was taken back to Danyang Pulse amidst the Fifth Elder's furious expression.

After that, Lin Yuan acted as if he were invisible, following behind his flirtatious senior brother and Xiao Lingling back to the elders' courtyard.
