Chapter 5347: Cold Trouble

Translator: 549690339

Lin Yi, the ancient martial granduncle who’d just popped out of nowhere, was at most a hot topic, but now, he was the second most important person, after Grand Elder Chen Jiu.

People’s hearts were always changing-an outsider like Lin Yi shouldn’t have anything to do with the local faction, but he was about to become a flag-bearer of the local faction!

Of course, Xin Yijie had contributed a lot to this process. Not only did he drag Lu Pingan back and forth, but he also promoted Lin Yi’s position and tried to draw in the higher-ups and disciples of the local factions. Otherwise, these people wouldn’t have gathered so quickly-someone had to be pushing this from behind the scenes.

Lin Yi, on the other hand, didn’t care about the outside world at all. Other than teaching Lingshan and the others, the only thing he did every day was self-cultivation. He relied on the spirit grass to improve his spirit and strengthen his hand. These two were the most important things he had to do.

On the other hand, Leng Leng, who had returned to the Nakajima snow sword sect, was in trouble.

Coold was under house arrest.

That’s right, as one of the disciples with the most eye-catching performance in the secular world and the archaic trials, Leng Leng was placed under house arrest on the second day after returning to snow sword sect. The reason was that she did not obey the sect’s orders during the experiential learning.

According to Xue Liping and Xue Jianfeng’s intentions, they were trying every possible way to define Leng Leng’s previous actions as betraying the sect. If that happened, it would not be as simple as house arrest, but a public execution by a thousand daggers.

However, the higher-ups of the Council of Elders, including the sect leader Hong Qingyuan, were obviously not fools. They could see coold’s great potential with their toes. They would not do something that would destroy her.

Of course, apart from Leng Leng’s own great potential, the other two people’s efforts to reason with her had also contributed greatly. One of them was her master, Xu Xiaodong, and the other was Bing Wuqing.

If Xu Xiaodong was the last elder candidate in the list and didn’t have much say, then Bing Wuqing, who had stood out with him, was someone that no one could ignore. After all, after going around the secular world and the primordial trial, this young elder candidate had already become an expert at the perfected gold core realm!

In the entire snow sword sect, apart from the Supreme elder, who was the only nascent soul old monster, the strongest person was a cultivator in the exceptional gold core realm. Before that, there was only one expert in the exceptional gold core realm, and that was the sect leader Hong Qingyuan.

But now, the snow sword sect had suddenly gained two more Masters in the exceptional gold core realm-Bing Wuqing, Xue Jianfeng, and Leng Leng, who was in The Exceptional Foundation Stage. When Hong Qingyuan and the others first saw these people, they felt like they had been hit by a pie. A mere trip to the secular world had actually brought back a bunch of pillars. This was not just a green smoke rising from their ancestral grave, but a raging fire that was almost burning them to ashes!

However, for Hong Qingyuan, who had the right to speak in the sect, the sudden appearance of two Jindan paragons was a real problem.

The real problem was that if the new players showed up, what would the old players do?

The ancient martial world had always been a very realistic world, and one’s strength determined one’s status. In the snow sword sect, a perfected gold core was already an existence that was second only to one person and above tens of thousands of people. Naturally, one’s status couldn’t be vague. Even if they couldn’t directly let Bing Wuqing and Xue Jianfeng be on the same level as the sect leader, they had to be above the others. Otherwise, it wouldn’t match their strength!

However, even if vice sect leader Xue Liping agreed, would the other five elders, including Chi qianqiu, agree?

Speaking of which, Xue Liping, the Deputy sect leader, had always been restless. It was only because he had been at loggerheads with the great elder Chi qianqiu that Hong Qingyuan, as the sect leader, was able to control the situation. Now that his son, Xue Jianfeng, who was second only to one person and above tens of thousands, had suddenly appeared, how could he control the overall situation when the father and son joined hands to sing along?

Fortunately, there was still Bing Wuqing.

Hong Qingyuan had been a little worried that Bing Wuqing and Xue Jianfeng would be on the same side, but he didn’t expect them to start a fight as soon as they came back, and the source of it all was Leng Leng.

Xue Jianfeng had tried every possible means to kill Leng Leng, but Bing Wuqing, who had never had any relationship with Leng Leng, had stepped forward for the first time, and her attitude was extremely unyielding. No matter who dared to touch Leng Leng, they would have to be prepared to face his wrath!

Although they found it strange, Hong Qingyuan and the others were obviously happy to see it happen. Not only could they protect Leng Leng, a young talent with great potential, but more importantly, they had a perfect candidate to balance Xue Jianfeng. In the past, the great elder Chi qianqiu had balanced the Deputy sect leader Xue Liping. Although there were two more Masters in the exceptional gold core realm now, they were also balancing each other, which was convenient for Hong Qingyuan to continue to control the overall situation.

In contrast, Xue Jianfeng was dumbfounded when he heard Bing Wuqing’s declaration.

He was already puzzled when Bing Wuqing helped Leng Leng out during the test, and now she was even more serious than before. She was even willing to fall out with him for Leng Leng, which was completely out of his expectation. This was almost the same as standing on Lin Yi’s side in public! What the hell was Bing Wuqing doing?

In the end, in the face of Bing Wuqing’s unreasonable and unyielding attitude, and in the face of Hong Qingyuan, Chi qianqiu, and the rest’s United momentum, Xue Jianfeng and his father, Xue Liping, could only choose to give in. After a long argument, they finally came up with a superficial result-house arrest.

Leng Leng had returned this time to prepare for closed-door cultivation. After stabilizing her realm, she would start preparing to break through to the Golden core realm. The so-called house arrest was not painful to her, and was basically equivalent to no punishment.

After the meeting was over, Xue Jianfeng deliberately blocked Bing Wuqing’s way. There was a problem that he had to figure out.

“Get out of the way.” Bing Wuqing walked away expressionlessly.

“Hold on!” Xue Jianfeng blocked the way and waited until all the other higher-ups had left before he lowered his voice and said,””What the hell are you doing?”

“Do I need to explain it to you?” Bing Wuqing glanced at him.

“Of course! Don’t forget that we’re on the same side. It’s fine if you don’t help me, but you’ve actually protected coold time and time again. Have you ever thought about the consequences of this?” Xue Jianfeng said angrily.

“What kind of consequences can there be?” Bing Wuqing looked indifferent.

“…” Xue Jianfeng was so angry that he was about to explode. “You’re protecting Lin Yi by protecting Leng Leng, you’re betraying central!”

“Oh? But why did I hear that the higher-ups told us not to mess with Lin Yi? In comparison, it’s more appropriate for you to be labeled as a betrayer-at least I didn’t try to kill Lin Yi, did I?” Bing Wuqing retorted.
