Now, she could only pray that her junior sisters would be able to kill Lin Yifan.

Actually, if she took action, she could easily deal with Lin Yifan.

However, it wasn't wise for her to show herself, since she was the eldest senior sister, highly ranked and highly respected. If she had a "criminal record," it could harm the Cinnabar Palace; at best, she would be punished or lose her life, at worst, bring great trouble to Cinnabar Palace.

She wanted to inherit Cinnabar Palace, not personally destroy it.

Moreover, she wasn't sure about the Palace Master's attitude; if the Palace Master favored Lin Yifan, not only would she fail to kill him, she might also face reproach, disdain, and exclusion from the Palace Master.

So, for many reasons, she didn't dare to personally confront and deal with Lin Yifan.

The chaos had just begun when the Palace Master of Cinnabar Palace arrived.

Seeing so many people bullying one person, she was furious, then angrily reprimanded, "Everyone, stop in the name of the palace!"

The commanding voice spread, and all disciples of Cinnabar Palace immediately stopped, not daring to act arrogantly.

The Palace Master was known for being ruthless; provoking her had no good outcome, so it's best for them to behave.

Lin Yifan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing so many people trying to kill him made him furious, wanting to strike, to deal with a group of lower realm Cinnabar Palace disciples. But considering that it would be rude and implicate the innocent An Qi, he suppressed his excitement.

However, suppressing one's temper for a while didn't necessarily mean suppressing it forever; thus, he was very grateful Xuji True Master arrived in time, otherwise, he didn't know what crazy things he might have done.

"Who started the attack just now?" Xuji True Master coldly questioned.

"Him!"

Feng Feiyan was the first to stand out, directly pointing at Lin Yifan, distorting the facts, putting Lin Yifan in a dangerous situation.

Lin Yifan was about to refute when he heard a loud sound.

"Slap!"

A red palm imprint appeared on Feng Feiyan's fair face, and a thread of fresh blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.

Everyone was attracted by the sudden sound, turning to look at Sister Feng, discovering the injured person wasn't Lin Yifan but their Sister Feng. The surrounding Cinnabar Palace disciples dared not speak further.

The Palace Master was evidently helping the outsider! Wouldn't it be courting death if they stood up for Sister Feng?

"Palace Master, why did you hit a disciple? What did the disciple do wrong?"

Covering her burning left cheek, Feng Feiyan asked indignantly and angrily.

"Because you're lying!"

Xuji True Master was expressionless, extremely stern, seemingly very sure of her answer.

Lin Yifan didn't expect Xuji True Master to be quite reasonable; now, he had hope.

"But that rascal killed Sister Yao in the small world, how can we not account for this?"

Feng Feiyan stated the reason for her attack.

Since she couldn't deceive the Palace Master, she might as well confess everything, otherwise, she would suffer loss.

"Didn't he also save more than a dozen lives from our Cinnabar Palace? What's there to complain about? Aren't those sisters your sisters too? Is only the one who disgraced Cinnabar Palace your sister? Moreover, it's that wretch's fault for provoking Lin Brother; if you were facing someone who wanted to kill you, would you stand by and let them do so?" Xuji True Master questioned.

Actually, she greatly disliked conflicts between sisters; she had been forced to betray her sect and establish her own because of it back then.

She hadn't found evidence linking Xiao Bingbing to this matter. If she discovered Xiao Bingbing was trying to frame Lin Yifan and An Qi, she would definitely cripple Xiao Bingbing and then expel her from the sect.

Feng Feiyan was left speechless by the rebuttal, but she couldn't swallow this bitter resentment.

Xiao Bingbing didn't expect their master to view the situation this way, so it seemed her heart was inclined toward An Qi.

This wasn't good news, because it meant she wouldn't inherit the position of Palace Master.

"I will definitely defeat her, to prove to you who truly has the ability to be the future Palace Master."

Xiao Bingbing vowed inwardly, her heart burning with anger.

Seeing Feng Feiyan rendered speechless, Xuji True Master urged, "Hurry up and apologize to Lin Brother, don't disgrace our Cinnabar Palace!"

Despite harboring countless grievances, Feng Feiyan gritted her teeth and held back.

She walked up to Lin Yifan and reluctantly said, "I'm sorry!"

Lin Yifan said nothing, disinclined to pay attention to Feng Feiyan.

"You all, hurry up and apologize to Lin Brother as well!"

Xuji True Master loudly commanded the surrounding Cinnabar Palace disciples.

The Cinnabar Palace disciples were initially startled, as they'd never seen the Palace Master so furious; then they quickly apologized to Lin Yifan, "Sorry!"

Lin Yifan didn't express any opinions; these insincere apologies weren't what he wanted anyway, as they were truly superfluous.

After the disciples apologized, Xuji True Master restored her long-awaited smile and kindly asked, "What brings Lin Brother to Cinnabar Palace?"

"Delivering elixirs."

Lin Yifan pointed to the bag of elixirs on the ground.

"Oh my, came all this way, troubling you to go personally, I'm truly sorry," Xuji True Master said, full of guilt.

"No need to feel responsible, grandma. It was originally our Medicinal Saint Valley's fault for not completing your palace's order on time. Your palace not blaming us is already considered giving us a lot of face," Lin Yifan replied humbly.

"Grandma? Such an affectionate nickname, seems like you might as well be like her own kin."

Feng Feiyan sneered repeatedly, surprised at Lin Yifan's audacity in using this address for their Palace Master.

Others were also astonished; did this mean Lin Yifan had become family with the Palace Master?

Meanwhile, after exchanging pleasantries, Xuji True Master turned to the main topic and inquired, "Lin Brother, coming personally, suspect it's not just for delivering elixirs, right?"

Lin Yifan smiled slightly and replied, "Nothing escapes grandma's insight. To be honest, besides delivering elixirs, I also want to visit my girlfriend—An Qi."

This statement stunned everyone; they didn't expect Lin Yifan had this in mind.

Those disciples who went to Medicinal Saint Valley for elixirs days ago finally understood why Lin Yifan was involved in the elixir matter—it turned out to be for visiting that little wench.

However, they had to admire Lin Yifan's ability; to gather the elixirs desired by Cinnabar Palace in such a short time, it seemed Lin Yifan had a certain influence in Medicinal Saint Valley, or his alchemy level wasn't inferior.

Moreover, it showed how strong the power of love was, making an unrelated person personally involved, willing to travel far and personally deliver the elixirs.

They had never experienced romance and didn't know what love was, so they couldn't comprehend Lin Yifan's actions.

Lin Yanping had already guessed Lin Yifan came here for the Junior Palace Master.
