C2366 Storm

"Master, you're finally here …"

Unlike Chen Baian, Zhang SanKuang, He Jia Er, and Xia Xiaoqing, Leng Xiao's heart was filled with joy and elation. She felt like she had never been happier than she was now. There was even a hint of nervousness in her heart.

When she saw Lin Baizhen appear right in front of her, she felt a wave of dizziness for no reason at all. She felt as if she was about to faint at any moment.

She had been waiting for this moment for far too long. After she received the news that Lin Bai was coming to seclusion, she did not sleep the entire night, just like a little girl who had finally found a new outfit. She sat in front of the mirror foolishly, completely unaware of the redness on her face.

To her, the existence of Lin Bai was not something that could be simply summarized with a single master. In her heart, she had long since treated Lin Bai as a father-like, father-like existence. Even to some extent, her heart was partly blind and partly natural, completely tied to Lin Bai.

The fortuitous encounter with Lin Bai had already completely changed her fate. She was told at that point, to step onto a completely different path than before, to let her life completely escape the darkness and appear under the brilliant light.

This unprecedented transformation caused her to think about Lin Bai's kindness and kindness at every moment, and it made her dream at every moment, wanting her to be able to repay the ten percent or twenty percent of everything Lin Bai had given her.

However, in the past, she had never been able to wait for this chance. Now, this chance had appeared before her. Because of this, she felt the burden on her shoulders become heavier than she had ever felt before, and her heart become more nervous than it had ever been before.

"I must be coming …" How could Lin Bai not know the feelings of these little girls in Leng Yanyan's heart? After hearing that, he shook his head with a chuckle, and after sizing her up, he smiled: "I haven't seen you for a while, little girl. You seem to have lost a lot of weight, it seems like you're worried about the matters of seclusion, but you look even more beautiful now."

Lin Bai wasn't flattering Leng Ying, he was flattering her from the bottom of his heart. Although Leng Zhan Yan's appearance could not be compared to He Jia Er and Xia Xiaoqing, she could still be considered as a beauty. "In the past, it used to be a bit round and smooth, but now it had become a little more refined. It looked even more ethereal. Standing there, it naturally had a certain temperament, like a fairy that was untainted by the mortal world.

It was fortunate that he was used to seeing a few beauties and that he had an unapproachable temperament. If it was anyone else, as long as they saw Leng Zhan, they would definitely be attracted to her temperament.

Most importantly, Lin Bai discovered that the current Leng Ying's appearance was now completely different from when he first met her. Compared to that time, that little girl who was always like a frightened little rabbit and was afraid that someone would have ulterior motives towards her had gained a lot more self-confidence. This made her even more attractive to the eyes of the world.

This sort of transformation was brought about by the increase in one's strength. Lin Bai was also very clear that this kind of transformation was something he'd created himself in a certain sense. Thus, this transformation made him very satisfied.

The moment she said this, Leng Zhan's head drooped down, her face flushed, her ears were a little hot, and she even felt her mouth parched. She only dared to use the corner of her eye to look at Lin Bai.

Just like Lin Bai, when she faced the current Lin Bai, she also felt a sense of unfamiliarity towards him. She could sense that the aura around Lin Bai had undergone some sort of transformation when he was acquainted with her. Although he just stood there quietly, it was as if he had completely left this space. He was isolated from the world and carried a kind of awe-inspiring majesty.

This sort of majesty was a type of oppression that existed between the soul and the spirit. Although it was impossible to discern with the naked eye, it was real. It even gave her a feeling that Lin Bai was no longer in the same world as her, but was instead on a higher plane. That was why her every gesture gave others a strange feeling of being shaken.

Moreover, for some reason, he felt that the current Lin Bai seemed to be carrying a kind of exhaustion and worry that could not be dispelled; it was as if he was carrying a mission so heavy that it could almost bend his back; it was as if there was something in his heart that could not be untied no matter who it was.

What had happened to cause Master to turn into his current state, and for him to return to seclusion?

"So young, how come you don't know how to cherish your body? You slept too late at night and have dark circles under your eyes …" Towards his first female disciple, Lin Bai still cared a lot about her. After sizing her up for a moment, he smiled and said.

When Leng Zhan heard that, how would she dare to reply half a word? Was it possible that the reason why she had dark circles under her eyes was because she could not sleep at night because of the excitement after knowing she was coming?

Even though she felt shy, she was still secretly delighted in her heart. Since his master was able to notice these problems, it meant that he cared for and cared for him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have noticed these small details.

He realized that what he had said just now did not seem to be the words of a teacher. He cleared his throat lightly, swept away the embarrassment in his heart, and said with a smile, "Since we have met, then let's quickly go to the Sword Pavilion. Along the way, tell me about the situation in the hidden realm."

"That's right. The jade artifact Elder and Senior Brother Tai'e were also eagerly awaiting Master's arrival. They were waiting for Master to appear in the Sword Pavilion again. His sword was hidden from the world!" Leng Zhan Yan nodded her head shyly, after replying to Lin Bai, she walked in front of Lin Bai and helped him lead the way. At the same time, she whispered to Lin Bai about all the changes that had occurred in the hidden realm.

Gu Taixu's death was like a bomb that had been set ablaze in the hidden world, causing endless waves. The fight over the benefits left behind by the small mountain had caused the conflicts between the hidden world and the deep sea to erupt out of the sea, completely exposing themselves to the hidden world's people.

At the beginning of the dispute, all the spearheads were pointed towards the treasures and heritage left behind by Gu Taixu after his death. Countless sects and lone souls living in seclusion were constantly massacring and looting the members of the small mountain sects.

At the beginning, everyone had thought that this dispute would come to an end once all the small mountains had been destroyed and all their foundations and resources had been plundered by the sects. Everything would then be put back to normal.

However, no one had expected that the matter would not be so simple. Little Fang's mountains had indeed been plundered clean by the various sects. However, the battle didn't stop because of this, but rather spread out in all directions.

The reason for this was very simple. It was because the spoils of war were divided unevenly. All the sects wanted to take the fattest piece of cake out of the businesses left behind by Xiao Fang. Unfortunately, although the cake was only that big, there was less porridge for monks. Therefore, the final distribution was naturally unfair.

It was unfair to place all the conflicts between the sects on the table from the very beginning. Even the grudges from countless years ago had been brought up again to seek justice.

However, in the hidden world, when had it ever been fair? Everything here had always been fair. Besides the law of the jungle, there was nothing else. If you want justice, if you want results, if you want to share more of the spoils, it's very simple. Just use your fists to talk.

With a single word or word, the discussions of interests wouldn't come to an end, and the flames of war began to spread. Apart from a few sects that were like sword pavilions and didn't have any conflicts of interest with the other sects, the other sects were all completely embroiled in battle.

Even though these people were shouting, they were all seeking justice and reason. However, who didn't know that under the luxurious fur coat that they were wearing, what was concealed was a body that was as dirty as a bitch.

From the start, all of these actions were not for what they said they would pursue. They were for the benefit of being able to share even more things.

As the flames of war spread, not a single place was not a battle between fire and blood, not a single place was not a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Concealed battles were hundreds of times more intense than ordinary battles. The terrifying abilities of these people were even more unimaginable for ordinary people.

The final evolution of this great battle was akin to a snowball, causing all of the sects to be completely submerged within it. No one was able to stand by themselves. Just based on Leng Zhan's words, even the Sword Pavilion that sealed the mountain gates had been challenged and invited by quite a few people these past few days. It was all thanks to the Jade Artifact Elder that they were able to maintain their calm.

It looked like he had come at the right time. The hidden world was like a storm. The storm could destroy everything, but it could also create something new. Under the chaos, it was the symbol of the start of a new life.

"In truth, even if you, Master, didn't come, the jade artifact elder would still have to make a decision in the next few days." Just as Lin Bai was sighing slightly, Leng Zhan Yan's expression turned solemn and solemn. As though she was not going to give up, she spoke word by word in a low voice.
