But no matter what, it's not right to leave such a beautiful woman soaking wet in the lakeside pavilion, exposed to the cold wind.

"Hey, that's because you had bad intentions."

"You can't blame me for this. If you hadn't had such bad intentions, you wouldn't have fallen into the water."

"Alright, I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going back to rest."

"Remember to have breakfast delivered to my room tomorrow."

Lin Yan put You Ru down, then yawned and casually found a room in the lakeside pavilion to rest.

This lakeside retreat is quite spacious, with as many as seven or eight rooms.

Apart from the two maids' quarters, the other rooms were mostly empty.

Lin Yan casually entered a room, closed the door, and rested.

You Ruo looked at the closed door in front of her, and her lips pouted slightly.

It was obvious that they were somewhat dissatisfied with Lin Yan going back to rest so soon.

"At least talk to me a few more times."

"What an impolite person."

You Ruo glanced at Lin Yan's door with a resentful look, then turned and left angrily.

. . . . . .

Meanwhile, on the other side, Wen Chou Chou was helping Xiong Ba leave the study.

Xiong Ba had already pushed Wen Chou Chou away.

Wen Chou Chou immediately realized that Xiong Ba had been pretending to be drunk.

Instead of pointing it out, she carefully stepped aside.

"Chou Chou, what do you think of Lin Yan?"

Xiong Ba let out a soft breath, thinking about someone with such profound internal strength.

Let alone drinking this little bit of wine, even if you drank a dozen more jars of wine, nothing would happen to you.

"Reporting to the leader, I believe that Young Master Yan's strength is astonishing."

"His talent must be extraordinary. Congratulations to the leader for gaining another great general."

Wen Chou Chou didn't understand what Xiong Ba really meant either.

A conventional approach was chosen.

There was neither praise nor criticism.

Instead, they waited for Xiong Ba's reply before considering how to evaluate Lin Yan.

Wen Chou Chou is very clever and good at understanding Xiong Ba's thoughts.

This is why Xiong Ba always regarded Wen Chou Chou as a confidant.

"His strength is a mystery."

"Although I was careless before, it still managed to hurt me."

"It can even break through my Three-Part Returning to Origin Qi."

"I suspect that Lin Yan must possess a powerful internal energy cultivation technique."

"If I could obtain this technique, wouldn't I truly be invincible under heaven!"

Xiong Ba's lips curled up slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.

In the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he was able to analyze Lin Yan's differences.

In his view, it was neither Lin Yan nor You Ruo.

They are all his pawns, the pawns that helped him achieve his hegemony.

Even if he is wary of Lin Yan now, don't forget that he still has You Ruo in his hands.

"Our leader is wise and unparalleled."

"This world rightfully belongs to the gang leader."

Wen Chou Chou was startled by Xiong Ba's words, but at the same time he began to flatter him.

He hadn't expected that Xiong Ba would have such a plan.

He felt that Xiong Ba seemed to be too calculating.

Therefore, Wen Chou Chou also felt that Xiong Ba seemed to have become a little more terrifying.

. . . . . .

Several days later, the three-stage competition had concluded.

As in the original story, Xiong Ba's three disciples have already won.

The three halls, Paiyun Hall, Fengshen Hall, and Tianshuang Hall, stand side by side.

The World Society has become more disciplined, and Lin Yan has already taken up the position of vice leader.

In the original story, Duan Lang secretly left the World Society because of this.

Seeing that the time was right, Lin Yan also prepared to set off for Lingyun Cave.

The fire qilin piqued Lin Yan's interest even more, given the current situation.

Xiong Ba will soon go to find the Mud Bodhisattva and then find the second sentence of the prophecy below.

"What? You're going to Lingyun Cave to find the Fire Qilin?"

Xiong Ba looked at Lin Yan in front of him, and his expression changed slightly.

He never expected that Lin Yan's target would be the Fire Qilin.

As one of the world's mythical beasts, the Fire Qilin is incredibly powerful.

Even Xiong Ba didn't want to provoke such a strange beast.

"Your wedding banquet with You Ruo has not been prepared yet."

"How could you do something so dangerous?"

Xiong Ba directly rejected Lin Yan's request, after all, he had not yet achieved his goal.

He didn't want to let Lin Yan do such a dangerous thing without obtaining Lin Yan's martial arts manual.

"As I've said before, I have my own plans."

"Besides, it's just a mere fire unicorn, it can't hurt me."

Lin Yan frowned slightly, his words already showing some impatience.

You should know that he has no intention of maintaining a friendly relationship with Xiong Ba.

After all, it was just a transaction between the two of them.

Lin Yan had already made it very clear before, just from these few words.

This caused Xiong Ba's expression to turn cold, and he clenched his fists tightly, but he did not dare to challenge Lin Yan.

Because he could already sense Lin Yan's terrifying killing intent.

The terrifying killing intent left him with no room to resist.

"Then let's leave tomorrow."

"After all, it's a long journey, and it will take you half a month to go there."

"Spend a day with You Ruo first, then we'll talk."

Xiong Ba took a deep breath and lowered his voice.

Even their tone carried a hint of negotiation.

Lin Yan looked up at Xiong Ba, said nothing, and turned to leave.

Wen Chou Chou, who was standing outside the door, saw Lin Yan come out and immediately ran inside.

Seeing Xiong Ba's grim expression, he didn't dare say anything and just stood obediently to the side.

"Go and bring You Ruo here."

Xiong Ba glanced at Wen Chou Chou and then gave him the order.

The tone was so cold that Wen Chou Chou couldn't help but tense up and immediately ran out.

Soon, You Ruo, who was staying in the lakeside cottage, was brought over by Wen Chou Chou.

You Ruo rarely comes to this main hall, and at this moment she couldn't help but look around.

But when she saw that Xiong Ba's expression was not very good, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous. She looked at Xiong Ba cautiously and called out, "Father."

"Daughter, come here."

"Father has something he wants you to do."

When Xiong Ba saw that it was You Ruo coming over, he managed a smile.
