CHAPTER 62: 62. THE FRIGHTENED MU YAN SHRANK BACK [REQUESTING COLLECTION, RECOMMENDATION TICKETS]

"Hu Er is yours!"

After receiving the Thousand Gold from Bao Wenping, Li Hua pulled out Zhao Yi’s selling contract from his pocket and handed it over.

Li Hua immediately shouted, "Hu Er, come here!"

Thud!

Bam!

A chaotic sound echoed, and then Hu Er ran out from the corner.

"Careless and reckless, what can you possibly do with that attitude?" Li Hua glanced at him with some irritation, then said, "Hu Er, starting today, you are no longer part of Long Hua Martial Arts Hall. You belong to him now."

Just as Zhao Yi looked up at Bao Wenping, an unexpected scene unfolded.

Bao Wenping tore the selling contract in his hand into pieces in front of everyone!

Li Hua was initially stunned, then he chuckled, didn’t care why Bao Wenping did it, and walked away with the money tucked in his pocket.

Probably went to some corner to rejoice.

...

Inside a room at Long Hua Martial Arts Hall, Mu Yan was sitting cross-legged, examining martial arts books in the room, his brows tightly knitted.

Li Hua walked into the room, his eyebrows relaxed, looking rather pleased. Because Hu Er’s selling contract had only earned him 10 Gold, but he flipped it a hundredfold easily, it’s hard not to be happy. When he saw Mu Yan, a trace of a cold smile appeared on his face.

"Senior Brother Mu Yan, disciples from the Immortal Sect are outside the door!"

"Immortal Sect disciples?"

Mu Yan immediately closed the book, a thick sinister smile emerging on his face, then said to Li Hua, "Li Hua, bring my sword. When I see an Immortal Sect disciple, I will kill one."

"Right away."

Li Hua immediately walked to the sword rack in front of the desk, holding the sword handle with one hand, while muttering to himself.

Sister Shi Hua, since you want to protect Bao Wenping so much, then Bao Wenping can only disappear.

...

Shi Hua saw Bao Wenping tore the selling contract by hand and quickly asked, "Bao Wenping, since you have already spent Thousand Gold to buy Hu Er, why tear the selling contract?"

"Because I don’t want him to be my slave, what I want to give is the freedom that’s worth more than gold... hope."

Bao Wenping’s gaze returned to Zhao Yi.

"Let’s go, come back with me to the Immortal Sect. As long as you’re willing, you can be an Immortal Sect disciple starting today."

Shi Hua was stunned by these words and asked in surprise, "Bao Wenping, you spent Thousand Gold just to let him join the Immortal Sect? You may not know, his meridians are actually broken, totally unable to cultivate. If I knew your purpose earlier, I should have stopped you, Li Hua must be laughing crookedly after taking the Thousand Gold."

Bao Wenping chuckled lightly and patted Zhao Yi’s shoulder without concern, then said, "Watch closely, it won’t be long before he stands at a height that is hard to reach. As for Li Hua, at that time, he won’t even have the qualification to carry his shoes."

"But..."

Shi Hua hesitated, wanting to continue advising, but after seeing the strong confidence in Bao Wenping’s eyes, a voice appeared in her mind, whispering continuously.

He’s right.

He’s really right.

Shi Hua was a bit shocked; she hadn’t expected Bao Wenping’s single look to shake even her inner belief.

Could Hu Er really be a peerless genius?

Bao Wenping then smiled, said to Shi Hua, "Shi Hua, thank you for today. I’ll invite you to eat Demon Chef’s food someday."

"Alright, you better hurry and leave; we can talk about eating another time. If Senior Brother Mu Yan comes out and discovers you later..."

The words trailed off abruptly because she sensed a Body Refining Seventh Layer cultivator approaching. In Long Hua Martial Arts Hall, only Mu Yan, the disciple of Elder Sun, possessed such power. Realizing it was not good, she tried to urge Bao Wenping to leave immediately.

However, it was too late!

Mu Yan had already reached the corner of the room; one more step, and he could see Bao Wenping wearing Cyan Mountain Stream Level clothes.

But just then, Mu Yan, holding the sword, having stepped out half a step, was already visible to Shi Hua. Yet when Mu Yan’s gaze fell on Bao Wenping, his face instantly turned pale.

Familiar face, familiar clothes, and familiar gentle smile.

The three reminded Mu Yan of the scene at the foot of Yunlan Mountain not long ago, making him shiver instantly.

With the sword in hand, Mu Yan retreated in a daze, leaning close to the wall, swallowing, feeling his palm grew sweaty.

Li Hua saw this and asked with a puzzled look, "Senior Brother Mu Yan, what’s wrong?"

"It’s nothing. I want to observe here; know yourself and know your enemy, and you can win a hundred battles. You also move further in, don’t let them discover."

Mu Yan smiled awkwardly, swallowing saliva.

He certainly didn’t dare to tell the truth, as the matter was his shame, something even his master returned to Kao Shan Sect and didn’t disclose.

If Li Hua knew he had been so embarrassed before, wouldn’t his senior brother’s face be directly thrown to the ground?

Li Hua, pulled back by Mu Yan, was somewhat confused, pondering endlessly and still unable to understand, said, "Senior Brother, if you don’t want to go there, I can call him over, I don’t think he’ll dare not come."

"No need!"

Mu Yan grabbed Li Hua’s hand, showing a polite but embarrassed smile.

"I just want to go to the bathroom, you stay here and watch him."

Saying this, Mu Yan quickly retreated backward.

After a few steps, Li Hua’s voice came through.

"Senior Brother, the bathroom is this way."

"I like to go around."

Mu Yan hurried to the room, put down the sword, and finally let out a breath.

Thinking back about it now, he still felt frightened; had he really approached with the sword, he might have died in this Long Hua Martial Arts Hall today.

The confidence accumulated three days ago after breaking through to Body Refining Seventh Layer was now completely gone.

At this moment, Li Hua, watching Mu Yan’s retreating figure, suddenly felt his mind might not be working properly.

Is this still Mu Yan, who once boasted about killing Immortal Sect disciples on sight?

Why does he have this feeling, as if Mu Yan seems to be scared?

"Illusion, Senior Brother Mu Yan is already Body Refining Seventh Layer, how could he be afraid of the impoverished and isolated Bao Wenping?"

After Shi Hua saw Bao Wenping off, she came to Mu Yan’s room, intending to thank him for his leniency.

He wasn’t worried about Bao Wenping being killed by Mu Yan, after all, both were Body Refining Seventh Layer; should they fight, the surrounding Kao Shan Sect disciples would support. Even if Bao Wenping’s strength had reached Body Refining Eighth, two fists would struggle against four hands.

By then, Bao Wenping might be captured alive.

The death of Elder Yang Hua is being investigated by Kao Shan Sect, if Bao Wenping were caught alive now, he would surely die.

However, before she could express gratitude, Mu Yan, by the window, pulled his head back and asked, "Has Bao Wenping gone?"

"Gone."

Hearing this, Mu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, falling onto a chair, whispering, "Almost couldn’t go back. Fortunately, luck is on my side."
