The leader of the Hundred Flower Valley delegation was Jiang Yuru.

Having heard all the rumors about Lin Bai, Tang Lanling ultimately didn't have the courage to face Lin Bai alone. She feared that Lin Bai would coerce her into committing disgraceful acts in public, similar to how Dao Xu was humiliated. She also feared being turned into a puppet by Lin Bai...

Having cultivated for hundreds of years, she had seen all sorts of human behaviors and naturally knew of the scandalous affairs between men and women in the world.

Even though she was hundreds of years old, enough to be Lin Bai's great-grandmother, the Hundred Flower Valley's Cultivation Technique excelled at maintaining one's physical condition. Both her appearance and bodily functions were hardly different from when she was in her twenties.

Lin Bai didn't even spare old Dao Xu. If she became a puppet, who knows what she might experience?

Furthermore, why should the Hundred Flower Valley feign surrender? She wasn't alone in her struggle! Because Jiang Qingqin was Lin Bai's lover? What a joke. If Lin Bai truly cared about Jiang Qingqin, he wouldn't have seduced Dao Xu, nor would he have planted so many undercover operatives in the Hundred Flower Valley.

Tang Lanling didn't believe in love, but she was afraid that Lin Bai would rush over recklessly. After all, the likelihood of him coming to the Hundred Flower Valley first was high since Jiang Qingqin was here.

After much reflection, Tang Lanling decided to send out Jiang Yuru and her disciples. She ordered them to find a way to delay Lin Bai while she herself rushed to the Moon Spirit Sect for help.

To gain Lin Bai's trust, Tang Lanling didn't hesitate to transfer one-third of the Golden Core Monks from the Hundred Flower Valley. Her only demand for Jiang Yuru was simple: she didn't need her to keep Lin Bai in Qian City; she merely requested that Lin Bai not attack the Hundred Flower Valley first.

As long as Lin Bai targeted other sects first and left the Hundred Flower Valley for last, she would consider it a success if she could bring reinforcements in time.

The Seven Righteous Sects were engaged in internal strife over resources and rankings, leading their subordinate sects to lose unity.

Furthermore, several righteous sects had gotten used to their leisurely lifestyle, so when Lin Bai abruptly appeared, his unpredictable tactics and do-as-I-will nature caught them off guard. Their reaction was chaotic and less effective than even the Evil Five Sects.

...

"Junior Sister Yuru, Qing Qin has been gone for a while. Do you think something happened?" The speaker was Cu Wushuang, the Vice Valley Master of the Hundred Flower Valley. She had a Nascent Soul Cultivation Level and a refined oval face, appearing elegant and beautiful. But, there was a clear look of worry in her eyes. Lin Bai's Cultivation Techniques were terrifying. As the highest-ranking cultivator, what if Lin Bai took a fancy to her and made her profess her love for him publicly without restraint?

"Senior Sister Wushuang, rest assured. I'm somewhat familiar with Lin Bai. Normally, as long as you do not oppose him, he is quite amiable," Jiang Yuru comforted. "Even the people of the Evil Five Sects were allowed by his side, let alone us."

"What worries me is precisely his closeness to the people of the Evil Five Sects," Cu Wushuang sighed. "Lin Bai's behavior is reckless and arbitrary. He doesn't resemble a righteous person in any way. I'm most afraid that he might throw caution to the wind and make our Hundred Flower Valley's sisters cultivate the Love Principle with the Justice League members. Even if he were to be put to death in the end, the damage done to the Hundred Flower Valley would be irreversible."

"Lin Bai doesn't have such a capacity." Jiang Yuru gave her sister, who looked as jumpy as a startled bird, a glance and said, "Senior Sister, you should know better than I do. The stronger the Cultivation Technique or Magic Artifact, the more taboos there are when using them. If Lin Bai could use his Spells without restraint, why would he go through all that trouble to form the Justice League?"

While comforting her Senior Sister, Jiang Yuru sighed in her heart. It had been such a short time! The young man who used to call her 'Aunt' in Qian City had grown to such an extent. The Power of Laws was too terrifying!

It was absurd; the people of the Hundred Flower Valley were too conservative. They refused to believe in the Power of Laws despite ample evidence. How foolish!

Speaking of foolishness, she, too, was not without blame.

Lin Bai was the first one to seek her out. If she had believed in the Cultivation of Rules, why would the Hundred Flower Valley be stuck in their current predicament?

Apart from Jiang Qingqin, Jiang Yuru had interacted with Lin Bai the most. Seeing Lin Bai's rise step by step, she had no doubts about the existence of Laws.

...

"They're coming!"

"Oh my god, why are there so many people?"

"Senior Sister Jiang, what do we do? Lin Bai has brought all the people from the Evil Five Sects. He isn't planning to exterminate us, is he?"

"Should we retreat first?"

...

The Hundred Flowers Shuttle was in chaos as they saw a group of cultivators flying in from the direction of Qian City. The female cultivators' faces turned pale, and they were thrown into disarray.

The Players all appeared nonchalant, some even looked pleased. Having spent boring times in the Hundred Flower Valley, they couldn't wait to join the Beggar Gang as soon as possible. Compared with dull cultivation, the life of Beggar Gang Players was undeniably more exciting.

"Quiet. If Lin Bai truly wanted to surround and kill us, the Hundred Flowers Shuttle wouldn't be able to escape. Have you all forgotten the analysis of Lin Bai on our way here?" Jiang Yuru looked at the cultivators flying over and admonished sternly. "Launch the shuttle. Let's meet them. He is not a bloodthirsty person. This is likely just a show of force. Qing Qin is by his side. We just need to respond calmly. Nothing will happen..."

The shuttle reactivated. In a moment, the two teams encountered each other.

"Sect Leader Lin, it's been a while." Jiang Yuru stood at the head of the Hundred Flowers Shuttle, saluting Lin Bai with her fist and palm. "I assume Qing Qin has mentioned it to you. I'm here this time to represent the Hundred Flower Valley and join the Justice League."

Lin Bai glanced at Jiang Yuru, gave a faint smile, and used his new Skill "Rush Moon" against the person next to her. If he didn't take advantage of her before she joined and tested the Skill, when would he?

Standing opposite Jiang Yuru was none other than the Vice Valley Master, Cu Wushuang. Faced with Lin Bai, she was nervous when, suddenly, a huge force came from beneath her feet.

She found herself slowly rising into the sky against her will, even striking the most graceful flying pose with one hand held high and the other at her side...

What's going on?

Cu Wushuang was shocked, trying to lower herself, but no matter what, she couldn't manage it. And when she tried to use her cultivation, her speed seemed to increase even more. Within a short time, she had soared more than thirty meters high. She couldn't help shouting anxiously, "Yuru, save me!"

"Senior Sister Wushuang, why are you flying?" Jiang Yuru was also dumbfounded.

In her eyes, Cu Wushuang just flew up by herself. Although the posture was very graceful, it was not the right time to fly! She was causing a scene before the two armies; what on earth was she doing? How embarrassing!

...

The members of the Evil Five Sects and the Players on both sides were also stunned.

...

"What the hell is this? Did she trigger a flying bug?"

"Seduction?"

"I have to say, the pose does look nice."

...

The Players murmured amongst themselves.

"It's not me; I can't control myself at all," Cu Wushuang said anxiously. "It must be Lin Bai. I told you he's up to no good."

In the time it took for her to say that single sentence, she had flown another dozen meters high.

Xin Shang and others were initially watching the suddenly flying Cu Wushuang. When they heard her words, they turned their attention back to Lin Bai.

"Lin..." Jiang Qingqin also came back to her senses and turned to Lin Bai. She was about to plead for her Martial Aunt, but Little Fox interrupted her, "Junior Sister, where are your manners!"

"Master, did you do this?" Jiang Qingqin gave Little Fox a glare and asked awkwardly.

Across from them, Jiang Yuru's face was filled with utter exasperation. "Sect Leader Lin, we mean no harm. Please let go of Senior Sister Cu."

She was shocked. Cu Wushuang was new to the Nascent Soul realm, but she was a genuine Nascent Soul cultivator. Lin Bai had pushed her up into the sky without batting an eye. His Cultivation Level was becoming more and more insane!

"Indeed, it's my doing!" Lin Bai, delighted, looked at the soaring Cu Wushuang. The Matchmaker System really delivered! Is this the effect of 'Rush Moon'? It didn't consume any of his cultivation energy; it was launched instantly, and she just flew up when he commanded... As hidden and useful as the red thread... Moreover, it could be used on more than two people. He wouldn't have to worry about group battles anymore! He would no longer have to worry about not being able to shoot with Cupid's bow and arrow anymore! This is a Divine Technique! He was just wondering where she would end up flying to?

Looking at Cu Wushuang WAILING, completely losing her image, Jiang Yuru couldn't get any more embarrassed. "Sect Leader Lin, please let go of Senior Sister Cu. We've come to join the Justice League. How would others see it if you treat allies like this?"

"Aren't you here to be undercover agents and delay time?" Lin Bai looked at Jiang Yuru strangely, not giving her any face at all. "With so many undercover agents in the Beggar Gang, the news has long been leaked. Senior Sister Jiang, don't deceive yourself and others. With the heaven-sent among us, there are no secrets under the heavens. The old rules won't work anymore. We need to adapt to a straightforward style in the future to survive in the world and avoid embarrassment."

"Sect Leader Lin, that was a misunderstanding." Jiang Yuru chuckled awkwardly. "We knew about the undercover business and still came here. Isn't that a testament to our sincerity?"

She looked up at the sky. In this short amount of time, Cu Wushuang had flown several hundred meters and showed no sign of stopping. She was increasingly anxious. "Sect Leader Lin, we can talk things over. How about we start by getting Senior Sister Cu down first? I only brought so many people, and I can't beat you, can I?"

"Senior Sister Jiang, it's not that I don't want to get her down," Lin Bai looked at Jiang Yuru, embarrassed, "it's that I don't know how to get her down."

"You don't know?" The question arose simultaneously from those around and from those opposite them.

"Correct." Lin Bai cast his gentle gaze towards Jiang Qingqin, saying, "As everyone knows, Qingqin and I have been cultivating the Love Principle. We haven't seen each other for a while, and when we suddenly met today, intense feelings of love surged within me, leading me to gain an insight into this Divine Skill. This was also my first time using it, so I'm not sure about its effects."

...

"Divine Skill?"

"Love Principle?"

"Damn, we're all cultivating the Love Principle. How is it that Shopkeeper Lin keeps comprehending new Divine Skills?"

"Wasn't he cultivating Spoken Law Follows?"

"Why would cultivating the Love Principle result in a Divine Skill of flying someone like a kite? That's a bit far-fetched, isn't it!"

"Can Players really cultivate the Power of Laws? I'm beginning to envy Shopkeeper Lin. Perfect crowd control, and the height it flies is ridiculous! If it's possible to cultivate the Power of Laws, I might consider starting a relationship with a native!"

...

Both the Players and the natives erupted in an uproar.

The looks that Xin Shang and others gave Lin Bai changed. Their hearts pounded faster, their mouths dry with thirst.

They had fought against Lin Bai and avoided his Arrow of Love by hiding within battle formations.

Back then, if he had this Divine Skill, no one could have dodged his arrow. Maybe they would have already turned into someone exactly like Pei Yanzong.

Seeing Lin Bai sending Cu Wushuang into the sky without a word, he didn't look like a low-key and restrained person at all.

In other words, the Power of Laws is real!

GULP!

A few Sect Leaders simultaneously swallowed, looking at the graceful disciples of the Hundred Flower Valley on the opposite side, considering whether or not to follow Lin Bai's lead and begin cultivating the Love Principle.

The woman opposite them is a Nascent Soul cultivator, for heaven's sake! He casually sent her sky-high; even they couldn't manage that!

...

Qing Yu and Flower Stream tightly held each other's hands and exchanged a look. Though they said nothing, it was as if everything had been conveyed. And so, the two drew even closer.

...

Because *I* comprehended it!

Jiang Qingqin's heart pounded madly, her eyes practically overflowing with adoration as she looked at Lin Bai.

At this moment, what Hundred Flower Valley? What Cu Wushuang! All of it was completely forgotten.

She lightly held her chest, her heart completely occupied by Lin Bai.

He comprehended the Love Principle through her; Lin Bai really must love her. With this alone, she wouldn't hesitate to call him Master—even calling him Daddy didn't seem like a problem!

...

Of course, the Power of Laws needs to be publicized regularly! Otherwise, this bunch would think he was deceiving them...

Taking in everyone's expressions, Lin Bai raised his head to glance at the now tiny dot that was Cu Wushuang in the sky, smiled slightly, and proudly said, "I call this Divine Skill Separation of Love."

"Master, I will never leave your side again," Jiang Qingqin said softly, looking at Lin Bai, an inexplicable guilt welling up in her heart.

The Little White Fox shot her a jealous glance, then snuggled deeper into Lin Bai's arms as if to declare her sovereignty.

"Of course, we also have to lead by example and let more people comprehend the Love Principle!" Lin Bai glanced back at her and said with a gentle smile. "Even if we can't eventually become Cupid, comprehending one or two Divine Skills can still benefit our fighting abilities."

"Mm." Jiang Qingqin's mind was muddled with love; she didn't even consider why, though they both cultivated the Love Principle, only Lin Bai had mastered Divine Skills while she had learned nothing.

...

WTF! Did you really have to use the Divine Skill you just comprehended? Cu Wushuang was already worried you'd be reckless. This just confirms it! What the hell is happening!

Sighing, Jiang Yuru said, "Sect Leader Lin, we can discuss the matter of the Power of Laws later. Can't you really call Senior Sister Cu back now?"

Before she finished speaking, a barely audible scream could be heard from the skies.

Everyone hurriedly looked up.

The previously minuscule dot that was Cu Wushuang had started rapidly descending from the sky. After the initial panic, she quickly stabilized herself with Wind Control.

However, still fuming, she continued to dive downwards at a very fast speed, looking like she wanted to smash Lin Bai into smithereens.

Seeing this, everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief. It was good that she didn't fly too high before falling. If she kept flying up, no one in this world would be a match for Lin Bai. As long as there's a counter, it's fine!

As Cu Wushuang's figure drew closer, her body wreathed in flower petals, her furious and flustered voice followed, "Lin Bai, you and I are irreconcilable!"

"Senior Sister Wushuang, don't be impulsive." Seeing this, Jiang Yuru rushed to intercept her. She had gone to great lengths to explain the situation and couldn't let Cu Wushuang's impulsiveness destroy the fragile understanding between their sides.

"Jiang Yuru, get out of my way!" Enraged at being made a fool in front of everyone, Cu Wushuang rebuked angrily, "Today, I'll tear Lin Bai into a thousand pieces! It's either him or me..."

As she spoke, she was about to pass by Jiang Yuru.

Just at that instant, Lin Bai seized the opportunity to use "Rush Moon" on her again.

With a scream, Cu Wushuang swiftly changed direction and assumed the posture of Rush Moon, once more flying gracefully towards the sky.

Jiang Yuru was suddenly left standing there, stunned.

There was silence all around.

The faces of Xin Shang and others turned extremely gloomy. She hadn't even landed, and she was sent up again. This damn Skill still has no counter!

[Bitter Melon Vine] dumbfoundedly looked at the once-more airborne Cu Wushuang and privately messaged, "Does Shopkeeper Lin's new Skill not have a cooldown?"

"It should, right?" a Player answered uncertainly. "Otherwise, if he keeps using this move, leaving her floating in the sky forever, who could possibly defeat Shopkeeper Lin?"

"Even if it doesn't, there should still be a weakness," [Just For Now] said. "The game wouldn't create an uncounterable Skill."

Lin Bai watched Cu Wushuang, whom he had sent into the sky again, deep in thought. This Rush Moon didn't send her very far, did it? And the Skill only activated when Cu Wushuang was close to Jiang Yuru. The conditions are still too strict...
