"With Master's gracious invitation, how could I not come?"

Lin Yifan's smile carried a hint of bitterness; no one knew his true feelings at the moment, nor the meaning behind his words.

"Master sent Sect disciples to protect your uncle and aunt, so shouldn't you be grateful to Master?" Xiaofang asked innocently.

"Haha! I've already thanked him." Lin Yifan replied with a face full of bitterness.

Xiaofang was still the same Xiaofang, as innocent as ever, unaware of the darkness in people's hearts. However, Medicine Saint was the person she trusted most, so how could she doubt Medicine Saint's "kind intentions."

"Xiaofang, since you're here, take Xiaofan to meet the Elders and Deacons, let them get acquainted." Medicine Saint instructed and then swiftly left.

"Okay!"

After speaking, Xiaofang took Lin Yifan's arm cheerfully and walked towards the main hall.

Arriving at this unfamiliar place, Lin Yifan suddenly felt that this action seemed inappropriate, but he couldn't pinpoint the reason, so he just walked awkwardly.

Witnessing this scene, the disciples of Medicinal Saint Valley engaged in even more heated discussions.

"Wow! So Senior Sister Xiaofang is interested in this guy; looks like Senior Brother Bai is going to wear a green hat."

"Senior Sister Xiaofang openly shows affection, where does it put Senior Brother Bai's feelings!"

"Used to think Senior Sister Xiaofang was reserved; turns out she can be corrupt too."

"What did you say?"

Lin Yifan stopped and glared angrily at a disciple standing by the willow tree.

Anyone could talk, but insults about his family and woman, he wouldn't let go lightly.

Intimidated by Lin Yifan's glare, the disciple behind him immediately shut his mouth.

It wasn't Lin Yifan they feared, but Xiaofang beside him.

Xiaofang was favored by the Valley Master, and if she reported it, they would be punished.

"Yifan! Ignore them, let them gossip all they want, we just live our lives." Xiaofang advised.

She didn't want Lin Yifan to start conflicts with disciples as soon as he entered the Valley; it would be detrimental to his future development.

"Is this gossip? This is already personal attack; how can it be resolved without an apology?"

Not listening to Xiaofang, Lin Yifan walked down the steps, confronted the disciple, and shouted angrily, "Hurry up and apologize to your senior sister!"

"Kid, who do you think you are? You should know you're not officially one of us yet, not counted as a disciple of Medicinal Saint Valley; even if you do join, we are still your seniors, what right do you have to yell at us?"

The disciple curled his lip and retorted Lin Yifan, his face full of defiance.

This enraged Lin Yifan, who grabbed his collar and demanded angrily, "Will you apologize?"

Failing to rescue Zhou Jiajia has affected his mood so far, and now another episode of bullying his woman arises, how can he let it go?

Seeing the confrontation escalate, Xiaofang quickly rushed over, pulling Lin Yifan away, persuading him, "Yifan, don't go overboard, Junior Brother Liu Yang didn't mean to hurt me, forgive him."

The rumor of her and Senior Brother Bai had spread in Medicinal Saint Valley, and everyone saw them as a perfect match; however, she never had feelings for Senior Brother Bai, only saw him as an older brother. Now disciples are angry seeing her holding Lin Yifan's hand; she understood these junior brothers' feelings.

"He talks like this about you, and you still plead for him? You may tolerate this, but I, Lin Yifan, will not!"

Lin Yifan shook off Xiaofang, furiously questioning, "Will you apologize?"

"Damn it! You dare to push Sister Xiaofang? I'm not done with you!" Liu Yang was also enraged.

If Lin Yifan had spoken nicely, he might have apologized; but Lin Yifan's aggressive manner forced him to stand up for Senior Brother Bai and teach this brat a lesson.

Thus, he exerted Cultivation Power, knocking Lin Yifan away.

Lin Yifan was caught off guard, being pushed far away, immediately causing a burst of laughter.

"Haha! A worthless fellow dares to act outrageously in front of Senior Brother Liu Yang, really courting death."

"A boy at Divine Transformation Second Realm Early Stage, how could he fight against Senior Brother Liu Yang at Divine Transformation Third Realm Early Stage, let's wait to see him make a fool of himself!"

"Senior Brother Liu Yang, beat him to death, let him know the power of Medicinal Saint Valley!"

"Beat him to death!"

"Beat him to death!"

The jeering continued wave after wave, resounding in the ears, emboldening Liu Yang to shout at Lin Yifan, "Those who know the current situation are wise, if sensible, stay far away, don't accuse me of bullying the weak!"

"I'll roll your...!"

Lin Yifan gritted his teeth, eyes shooting cold gleams, staring deadly at Liu Yang.

In his heart at that moment, Liu Yang was already a dead man.

Seeing the murderous gaze, for some reason, Liu Yang suddenly felt a trace of fear. He didn't know why, why he feared the opponent even though he was of higher realm.

"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! It's all bravado, trying to scare people."

He comforted himself, then grasped the sword's hilt, ready for battle.

After finishing his words, Lin Yifan immediately grabbed a fine sword from Xiaofang's hand and executed "Peerless Under Heaven" Qinggong, charging towards him.

"Yifan! Don't!"

Xiaofang really wanted to halt him but since Lin Yifan was standing up for her, she felt embarrassed to stop him repeatedly.

Also, she didn't understand why Lin Yifan was so furious; he would usually hold back a bit; why could he not control himself today? Did he fail to rescue Jiajia yet? Did Master not help him?

Thinking of this, suddenly, she felt heartache, intense heartache. She finally understood why Lin Yifan was so angry; it all originated from the troubles he's encountered lately.

Lin Yifan wielding the Treasured Sword charged ahead, initially, everyone laughed, thinking it was a futile attempt; but seeing the Qinggong Lin Yifan executed, the entire crowd was silent.

Lin Yifan's Qinggong speed had already surpassed many disciples at Divine Transformation Third Realm Middle Stage.

Moreover, Lin Yifan's Realm wasn't as reported by Jiang Tao, being at Divine Transformation Second Realm Early Stage.

The Realm he displayed was Divine Transformation Second Realm Peak, still lower than Liu Yang by one minor Realm, but compared to previous reports, he was higher by two minor Realms; don't be fooled by this slight difference, it was actually worlds apart.

For instance, one versus four, you might lose; one versus two, you might have a chance.

"So fast! How can his speed be this fast?"

"Jiang Tao, didn't you say his Realm was only Divine Transformation Second Realm Early Stage? How did it suddenly become Divine Transformation Second Realm Peak?" a disciple asked Jiang Tao who was watching.

"I don't know either, over a month ago, he was clearly at Divine Transformation Second Realm Early Stage, a lot of people can testify to this."
