Joining the Joyful Union Sect, My Life in the Grip of My Senior Sister

Chapter 411: You’ve Changed, You’re Actually Asking Me to Sell My Looks?

Lin Fengmian ignored Huang Zishan’s subtle expression and asked, “May I ask, Fairy, is there a ban on weapons in Junlin City right now?”

Huang Zishan calmly replied, “Private fights are prohibited within the inner city of Junlin City. As for the outer city, flying is generally restricted, but weapons are not banned.”

“With his strength, even in the inner city, he could easily capture you and take you away. As long as it doesn’t cause a disturbance, the city guards won’t intervene.”

Lin Fengmian knew that the airship port was located in the outer city, and his mood grew heavy.

Although he was safe for now, he would be in danger once they docked.

He couldn’t help but glance at Huang Zishan, wondering if there was a way to persuade her to escort him.

Huang Zishan seemed to know what he was thinking about. She picked up her teacup and took a sip.

She said indifferently, “We are not related, and I have no obligation to help you.”

For her, protecting the passengers on the ship was part of her duty.

But offending a sect elder for a stranger? That wasn’t worth it.

Lin Fengmian naturally understood this and wasn’t disappointed. He nodded and said, “I understand, Senior.”

Huang Zishan smiled faintly. “We are still about two days away from Junlin City. You can stay in the guest room next door for now.”

“I will return to my cultivation. If you need anything, just let the others on the ship know.”

After saying this, she stood up and walked toward her cultivation chamber. Lin Fengmian stood up and bowed. “Thank you, Fairy.”

A moment later, Lin Fengmian stood by the window of the guest room, watching Cao Zhengyu relentlessly pursuing them. He couldn’t help but curse.

“You old turtle, running so desperately. Aren’t you afraid of running yourself to death?”

The airship would dock tomorrow evening, and the moment he stepped off, he would likely be captured and taken away by Cao Zhengyu.

The airship couldn’t shake off the old man who was risking his life, and now it had become a cage trapping Lin Fengmian.

Just as he was at a loss, Lin Fengmian received a jade communication slip.

He was confused. Had Liu Mei purchased another communication jade slip?

This enchantress had been bombarding him with messages, but after she presumably ran out of jade slips, she stopped contacting him.

He pressed the jade slip to his forehead, and Shangguan Qiong’s icy voice came through.

“Lin Fengmian, you can’t escape. Come back obediently! If you continue to run, I’ll break all three of your legs!”

Lin Fengmian jerked upright, as if he had been revived from a near-death state. For the first time, Shangguan Qiong’s voice sounded so pleasant to his ears.

He was both shocked and elated. Shangguan Qiong was able to contact him now?

Previously, Lin Fengmian and the others had deduced that the communication channels of the Joyful Union Sect had been deliberately blocked.

Had the sect’s predicament been resolved, or had she left the sect?

Although Lin Fengmian didn’t know the reason, he was overjoyed and quickly replied to Shangguan Qiong.

“Sect leader, I had no choice! That old turtle Cao Zhengyu is after me!”

“The airship I’m on will arrive in Junlin City tomorrow at 5-7 pm. Please teleport there and wait for me!”

After sending the jade slip, Lin Fengmian could only pray that it would reach Shangguan Qiong quickly.

After all, falling into the hands of the Joyful Union Sect was better than falling into the hands of the Heavenly Deception Sect.

He could only use this strategy of pitting one enemy against another and then find a way to notify Jun Yunshang to rescue him.

As long as that girl Yunshang remembered their past friendship and came to save him, he’d even accept being tied up and having his “little chicken” flicked!

But whether Shangguan Qiong could make it to Junlin City in time to save him, Lin Fengmian had no idea.

After all, he would arrive in Junlin City in just over a day, while she was likely still at the Joyful Union Sect.

Even if the jade slip reached her in a day, she would only have half a day to react.

He still had to try his best to buy time, delaying until Shangguan Qiong arrived.

The time was ticking away, and soon night fell.

Lin Fengmian lay on the bed, staring blankly at the Duel Fish Pendant. He thought about asking Luo Xue for advice.

But considering that Luo Xue was busy preparing to break through to the Great Ascension Realm, he didn’t dare to disturb her.

Lying on the spacious bed, he chuckled self-deprecatingly.

No matter what happened, Luo Xue still had two hundred years ahead of her, while he might die within the next day or two.

Just then, the Duel Fish Pendant suddenly lit up on its own.

Luo Xue was contacting him!

Lin Fengmian didn’t dare to delay, so he quickly responded to the pendant and entered the mysterious space.

Inside, Luo Xue stood there listlessly, holding Zhen Yuan, her eyes filled with resentment as she glared at him.

“Luo Xue, what’s wrong?” Lin Fengmian quickly raised his hands and asked.

“You idiot, why haven’t you contacted me since you went back?” Luo Xue said angrily.

Ever since Lin Fengmian had returned, her curiosity had been burning uncontrollably.

She kept wondering whether Lin Fengmian had met Jun Yunshang and what had happened between them.

Would Jun Yunshang, now Empress Fengyao, slash Lin Fengmian with her sword?

Only now did she realize that just like Lin Fengmian, while she might not die anytime soon, Lin Fengmian could perish at any moment.

This made her deeply worried, to the point where she couldn’t focus on her cultivation. She had been waiting for Lin Fengmian to contact her.

But after waiting and waiting, there was no response from him.

Luo Xue began to worry that he might have been killed, so she couldn’t help but reach out to him first.

And now he was here, looking at her as if nothing had happened.

Lin Fengmian had no idea about all of this. He awkwardly looked at her and smiled.

“Luo Xue, I didn’t mean to disturb you. Besides, I’ve been quite busy since I returned.”

“Busy?” Luo Xue looked at him curiously. “Busy with what?”

Lin Fengmian wanted to cry, but he had no tears. “Don’t even ask. I’ve been busy being chased by various people all over the world!”

He recounted everything that had happened honestly, holding nothing back.

Since he had promised Luo Xue that he wouldn’t lie to her, he wouldn’t hide anything from her now.

Upon hearing this, Luo Xue’s expression changed slightly. She hadn’t expected things to have escalated so much on his end.

“So, you’re being chased by a Soul Severing Realm cultivator? You’re doomed the moment you step off the ship?”

Seeing her anxious expression, Lin Fengmian couldn’t help but laugh. “Yes.”

Luo Xue said urgently, “Then why don’t you think of a way out?”

“I’ve already sent a message to Shangguan Qiong. Now, I’m just hoping that she can make it in time.”

Lin Fengmian thought for a moment and added, “Even if she doesn’t make it, I’ll find other ways to buy time.”

“Besides, I’ll go to Junlin City, where Yunshang is. There might still be a glimmer of hope.”

Luo Xue frowned. “This is all too uncertain. Is there any way you can get the woman on the ship to help you?”

“Aren’t you usually pretty good with women? Why don’t you try using your charm?”

Lin Fengmian didn’t expect Luo Xue to say something like this and was amused by her.

He suddenly flicked her forehead with his finger and laughed. “Luo Xue, you’ve changed. Are you actually asking me to sell my looks?”

Displeased, Luo Xue covered her forehead. “Ugh, I’m just trying to help you find a solution. It’s a temporary measure.”

Lin Fengmian chuckled. “But my face is ruined now. If I tried that, I’m afraid Cao Zhengyu wouldn’t kill me – she would.”

Luo Xue thought about it and realized that he was right. She muttered softly, “Your only good point was your looks, and now even that’s gone.”
