After being read by the mind, my apprentice wanted to rebel

Thinking of this, Jiang Ming's gaze involuntarily fell on a little girl in the crowd - Lin Xianer.

Not knowing what he was thinking about, Jiang Ming raised the corner of his mouth slightly and walked towards Lin Xian'er.

At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed in front of Jiang Ming, blocking his way. Looking closely, it turned out to be Xie Qijun who stepped forward and stopped Jiang Ming.

Xie Qijun knew very well that Lin Xian'er was integrating the power of the thunder tribulation at this moment, and no one could disturb his beloved master.

The people around were shocked when they saw this, and stared at Xie Qijun with wide eyes.

Someone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Oh my! Doesn't this young man know that the person in front of him is a powerful cultivator who has already entered the Mahayana stage? He actually tried to stop him. It's like hitting a rock with an egg. Brother, I really admire your courage."

Facing the doubts and amazement of others, Xie Qijun remained resolute, showing no sign of backing down. He held his head high and looked directly at Jiang Ming, his eyes gleaming with determination.

Jiang Ming, on the other hand, looked at the brave and fearless young man in front of him with great interest, and couldn't help but admire him secretly in his heart.

"Ancestor, Brother Xie and his master are both benefactors of our Jiang family. The extremely precious elixir you took before was generously provided by this fellow Lin Xianer," Jiang Qinghe hurried forward a few steps with an anxious look on his face, and explained to the ancestor earnestly, praying in his heart that the ancestor would not accidentally hurt Lin Xianer and his disciple.

Hearing this, Jiang Ming nodded slightly, indicating that he already knew about this matter. His eyes, as deep as a pool of water, stared deeply at Lin Xian'er, as if he wanted to see through her completely.

Jiang Ming thought to himself, this woman is no ordinary person. If she hadn't come to his aid during that terrifying thunderstorm, he would have perished long ago. He, Jiang Ming, will never forget this kindness. One day, he will repay her with all he has.

Facing so many eager eyes, Jiang Ming couldn't help but feel a little worried. He knew he couldn't stay here for long and had to find a way to provide Lin Xian'er with some help as soon as possible.

Jiang Ming then turned to look at everyone present and solemnly declared, "Immortal Friend Lin is the most distinguished guest of my Jiang family, and even more so, my guest of honor. From now on, anyone who dares to oppose her will be crossing my path."

"Please rest assured, ancestor. Our Jiang family has always been clear about gratitude and resentment, and we are definitely not the kind of ungrateful people," Jiang Qinghe responded in a firm tone, and looked around at the clansmen around him with a solemn expression.

Immediately afterwards, the rest of the Jiang family members also echoed, saying that they would definitely remember the great kindness that Master Lin Xian'er and her apprentice had shown to the Jiang family, and that they would always stand firmly behind them and support them.

Jiang Ming smiled and nodded slightly in satisfaction. Then, his sharp, hawk-like gaze quickly turned to the crowd from other forces not far away.

At this moment, all kinds of complex expressions appeared on these people's faces: some were full of envy, as if they couldn't wait to replace him; some were jealous, with sparks of unwillingness and resentment in their eyes; and some did not hide their greedy desires, staring at Jiang Ming, as if they were plotting some conspiracy.

Jiang Ming took a deep breath and suddenly released the terrifying pressure unique to a Mahayana cultivator. This overwhelming force swept towards the group like a surging wave, instantly making them feel an irresistible sense of oppression.

Those who were originally hoping for a lucky break or harboring ill intentions suddenly became silent under this pressure and dared not make any unusual movements.

Elsewhere, after a brief rest, Lin Xian'er finally stood up. Her delicate face was slightly pale, but her eyes revealed a firm and resolute determination. After all, from the moment she decided to take action, she had never considered retreating or regretting.

Feeling the lingering power of the tribulation within her, she couldn't help but feel joy. She knew she didn't possess the same extraordinary talent as the original owner, and only by tempering and honing herself through this extremely dangerous yet also opportunity-filled method could she achieve even greater strength.

At this moment, a deep and mysterious voice suddenly rang out from the clear blue sky. This voice seemed to have come from across time and space, carrying with it an endless sense of vicissitudes and majesty, making one's heart tremble with fear.

Jiang Ming's face darkened upon hearing this, his brow furrowed. He hadn't expected it to happen so soon. However, after a moment's silence, he finally sighed helplessly and looked at Jiang Qinghe, "I hope that under your guidance, our Jiang family will continue to prosper and move towards an even more glorious future."

After saying this, Jiang Ming didn't linger any longer. His figure flashed, transforming into a streak of light and flying straight towards the sky. In the blink of an eye, his figure completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

Seeing this, all the Jiang clan members spontaneously bowed respectfully in the direction Jiang Ming was leaving, and shouted in unison, "Farewell, Old Ancestor."

The cry resounded through the sky and echoed for a long time, fully demonstrating the Jiang family's deep respect and reluctance to part with this highly respected ancestor.

"My dear Lin Xian'er, would you like to come to my Jiang family to rest first?" Jiang Qinghe looked at Lin Xian'er and the others with gratitude. He knew in his heart that there were many people here and the situation was quite complicated. The magic weapon that Lin Xian'er displayed today was too eye-catching.

At this moment, Qi Miao suddenly jumped out from the crowd and shouted, "Master Lin, in my opinion, we should rest for a while before continuing on our journey." The journey had been exhausting and tiring for everyone for the past few days. Although Qi Miao was eager to return to the sect as soon as possible, he knew in his heart that there was no need to rush.

Lin Xian'er nodded slightly, her eyes slowly scanning the surroundings. After a moment's reflection, she nodded in agreement. After all, now wasn't the best time to depart. So, everyone began packing their belongings and headed towards the Jiang family.

A few days later, Lin Xian'er, Xie Qijun, and Qi Miao, all ready, bid farewell to Jiang Qinghe and once again embarked on the long journey to Tianji Sect. However, just one day into their journey, something unexpected happened—several wandering cultivators suddenly appeared on the road ahead, blocking their path. Seeing this, Lin Xian'er and the other three paused, staring intently at these uninvited visitors.
