The crowd looked at Wenping's group with eyes that instantly changed.

Wanyan felt the same.

She glanced at Wenping, then at Lin Kewu.

She finally understood where Lin Kewu's certainty came from.

It turned out Lin Kewu had joined a Sect far stronger than a Three-star Influence.

"This..." Wanyan didn't know what to say. Someone whom Dean Jin Rong called 'senior' was showing such care towards Lin Kewu.

"Do you believe now?" Lin Kewu smiled gently.

Lan Peng squeezed out a smile as well.

He had already anticipated such a result... Every moment with Wenping was filled with surprises; he had gotten used to it.

Luo Mi and others immediately chuckled as they looked at Elder Kui, noticing his abruptly changed expression and the complete disappearance of his arrogance, which was particularly amusing.

Elder Kui glanced at Ji Dong, who was being carried away, and felt his mind buzzing, as if someone had suddenly hammered his back of the head.

Jin Rong's attitude made him realize some things.

The opponent was of significant background!

The disciple's revenge clearly couldn't be sought!

As the crowd began to disperse, Jin Rong beckoned again, immediately summoning Elder Kui.

"Senior! I..." He really didn't know how to speak.

He had been provoking the other party all along; to say it was a misunderstanding now would be just too ridiculous.

Helplessly, Jin Rong took over the conversation, saying angrily, "Why not apologize quickly? Do you want to wait until the elder decides to take your life before you understand what opportunity means?"

Chasing Wind and Xiao Feng both died.

This guy provoked the opponent, and had talked so much earlier, yet now he was silent.

Upon hearing this, Wenping put away the Long Yue Sword, but things couldn't just end like this.

"My sword is already almost out of its sheath; retracting it isn't easy... A one-time price of 300 White Crystals." Killing him, leaving a name, at most lets thousands of people know of the Immortal Sect's existence.

White Crystals are more practical.

"I have it!"

Elder Kui quickly responded, pulling out White Crystals from the Storage Ring.

Luo Mi and others stood aside, gritting their teeth to hold back laughter.

The Senior Disciple was deceived by Lin Kewu out of dozens of White Crystals.

Now the teacher has to spend hundreds of White Crystals to buy life.

If this gets out, Elder Kui would definitely become a laughing stock in the street.

"This is what it means to invite trouble yourself. The Sect Leader had things to handle and was leaving, yet he kept calling him back repeatedly." Yang Xi chuckled softly.

Although Yang Xi's voice was small, Elder Kui still heard it.

Hearing this, he felt a sudden twist in his chest, as if something squeezed his heart.

But he could only endure the pain, and tearfully handed over all his possessions to Wenping.

When Wenping received the White Crystals, Lin Kewu suddenly interjected, "Sect Leader, his disciple still owes me seven White Crystals?"

"Here." Just as Wenping was about to speak, Elder Kui quickly took out White Crystals and handed them to Lin Kewu.

Feeling the empty Storage Ring.

Elder Kui squeezed out some bitter smiles.

On Shenglun Day, there were all kinds of people; never had there been big figures coming, yet there were so many this year.

Daring to provoke Iron Mountain Pavilion.

Capable of making the Dean bow humbly.

"Senior, I'm sorry, my friend couldn't see the forest for the trees." Jin Rong spoke again.

"Her, I'll take." Wenping pointed at Wanyan next to Lin Kewu, and Wanyan hastily removed her second Storage Ring from her finger, tossing it to Elder Kui.

Jin Rong could only nod, watching Wenping leave.

Watching Wenping's group leave, Jin Rong finally took a breath of relief.

On the contrary, Elder Kui seemed as if he had lost all hope.

Making Jin Rong, who originally wanted to reprimand him, couldn't help but shake his head, unkind to scold any further, "Alright, be satisfied you didn't die..."

He intended to say more, yet after thinking, he held back.

Chasing Wind and Xiao Feng both died by his hands; him being of Divine Profound Upper Realm, spending 300 White Crystals, buying life, was already a stroke of luck.

If possible, Chasing Wind and Xiao Feng would've wanted to spend 1000 White Crystals to buy their own lives.

Pity, this senior doesn't give the chance.

After cultivating so many years, who would've thought they would attain Mountain Suppression Realm someday.

But suddenly killed.

"Why does this young man have so many sword wounds?" When Jin Rong returned to see Ji Dong being carried away, the grim sword wounds left him staring.

Upper Profound Realm fighting Lower Profound Realm, injured by sword like this.

Ji Dong was the only one in a century!

Elder Ran hurriedly continued, "Dean, you might not believe this. That sword can fly by itself; Lin Kewu hardly moved, yet he left Ji Dong in such condition."

"Sword flying by itself?"

Jin Rong's expression tensed.

...

Meanwhile, Wenping continued walking towards the academy's exit.

He planned to find a Beast Vehicle to take them out of the city, heading to Sea Dragon Mountain would take three days.

The time is tight.

As he walked, Lin Kewu glanced at Wanyan, pondering for a moment, then said to Wenping, "Sect Leader, should Wanyan join the sect now or after we return?"

"After we return." Wenping replied.

Lin Kewu was delighted.

Wanyan also rejoiced.

Of course, what both of them wanted wasn't Wenping's answer, but to confirm whether they could join the sect.

"Thank you, senior." Wanyan hurriedly expressed her gratitude, considering any person who could make Dean Jin Rong bow humbly as unreachable for her.

When she came to Mountain and Sea City, she only hoped for a Half-Step Divine Profound to take her as a disciple.

Having Elder Lin accept her through Linsan's connection was an unexpected joy, and nothing seemed more fortunate than that.

Yet now there's an even stronger senior willing to accept her into the sect.

Suddenly she felt she was the happiest person in the world.

"You should thank Kewu; he proposed you join the Immortal Sect. Originally, I came to Mountain and Sea City without intending to take any disciple back..." Wenping finished, glancing at Lin Kewu.

Lin Kewu understood with a grin, quickly responding to Wanyan, "I'm willing to do anything for you!"

"Kewu."

Wanyan's face instantly blushed red.

"Wanyan."

Lin Kewu softly called as well.

The two of them gazed at each other, their eyes filled with affection.

Wenping glanced over, hastening his pace slightly, "Lovestruck couples are scary, able to show affection anywhere."

"Sect Leader, what do you mean by this?"

Yang Xi hastily asked, catching up.

"Don't understand? Go ask Luo Mi; he's been there." Wenping glanced at Luo Mi behind him.

Luo Mi caught Yang Xi's curious gaze, shrugged with a smile, then said, "How to tell you... this... is hard to explain, you'll understand in a few years."

"Uncle Lan?"

Yang Xi leaned towards Lan Peng.

Lan Peng chuckled, directly replied, "Actually, it's similar to us of the Demon Race; as long as there's affection, mating anywhere, ignoring everything around."

This statement halted Wenping's steps.

What Yang Xi thought, Wenping didn't see.

He only knew he almost gave Uncle Lan a thumbs up.

Simple and direct divine explanation.

And just then, the Mountain Dog suddenly barked fiercely, emotions carrying a thread of anger, the kind that only appeared when the Evil Spirit Knight wanted to make a move.

"Wait!"

At the academy gate, only two guards stood there.

Not a single student!

Likewise, there wasn't a single person on the street outside the academy.

"What's wrong?"

Lan Peng asked suspiciously.
