Evil Master and Disciple

Chapter 1498 I got slapped for nothing

Ye Feng and Ling Yin left the small cave where they had stayed for three nights.

Although the cave was small, it left a very deep impression on both of them.

This also significantly altered the relationship between the two.

Around 9:00 AM, Lingyin put all the pots, pans, and supplies in the cave into her storage bracelet, and then carefully examined the cave.

She said nothing, and carried Sanzhi'er out of the cave.

Ye Feng glanced back at the interior of the cave, wondering what Lingyin was thinking.

The effects of the storm three days ago were still lingering; there were still many puddles in the mountains and forests, making it easy to walk. Before even reaching the official road to the west, Ye Feng's shoes were already covered in mud.

Although Lingyin's foot was seriously injured three days ago, after three days of recuperation, her broken bone has healed and she can walk easily.

As Ye Feng walked, he asked, "Fairy, when exactly did the transaction between the Sect Leader and your master take place?"

Fairy Lingyin asked, "What happened in five or six days?"

Ye Feng said, "The Tianyun Mountains and the Qingyun Mountains are three thousand miles apart. Even if we ride horses, it will take us five or six days to get back to Tianyun Mountain. Why don't you fly over with me?"

Lingyin said, "Dream on! I'm going to torture you, you clueless, beastly brat, in these last few days. You'd better take it one step at a time. Five days, go as far as you can. I won't let you have it easy. I'll make you walk a hundred miles every day and exhaust you to death!"

Ye Feng smiled wryly and said, "I thought we were friends. There's no need to torture me like this, is there?"

"Friends? Heh heh heh, you are a promising young hero of the righteous path, and I am a demonic witch whom everyone wants to kill. Do you think we are friends?"

Of course.

"Oh."

Lingyin suddenly stopped, blinked her beautiful eyes at Ye Feng, and said, "It is quite surprising to hear you say such a thing. However, you are not worthy to be my friend. After this transaction, we will be separated forever and never see each other again."

Ye Feng shook his head with a wry smile.

As they approached the official road, Ye Feng said, "Lingyin, I still have some things to take care of at Tianyun Mountain. I can use these next few days to get them done. Seriously, I'm not kidding, could you fly me back to Tianyun Mountain?"

I'm not going back to Xingluo Peak of the Yunhai Sect, but to the northeast corner of the Tianyun Mountains... I really have something important to take care of when I get back."

"Heh, what important thing could you, a little brat, possibly have?"

"This is really important. I don't joke about things like this. Besides, I'm not asking you to deliver it to the Cloud Sea Sect. It's just that it's on the outskirts of Tianyun Mountain, thousands of miles away from Xingluo Peak. Please! Do you expect a grown man like me to kneel down and beg you?"

"Then kneel down!"

Ye Feng immediately knelt down in front of Lingyin with a thud, hugging her long legs with both hands, and said, "I beg you..."

Lingyin frowned slightly.

She didn't kick Ye Feng away, but said, "You actually knelt down. It seems there's something really important. I'm curious what important thing could make a seven-foot man like you kneel down and beg me. Tell me, and I'll take you back!"

"Well... I can tell you, but you can't tell anyone, not a single person."

"Okay, I promise you, I won't tell anyone."

"Lingyin, can I trust you?"

"Didn't you say we were friends? Aren't friends trustworthy?"

Ye Feng's eyes darted around a few times before he stood up and said, "Yes, we're friends, and I trust you won't betray me."

This is a long story. A few months ago, I rescued hundreds of girls with pitiful backgrounds and settled them in a cave in the northeast corner of Tianyun Mountain. Some time ago, they established a sect called the Holy Maiden Sect and elected me, their savior, as their sect leader. But I am a disciple of the Yunhai Sect. How can I be their sect leader? I have to go and submit a resignation letter to resign from the position of sect leader of the Holy Maiden Sect.

Furthermore, a righteous sect nearby noticed their presence and wanted to drive them away; last time, several hundred cultivators attacked them...

I really want to use this time before the transaction to settle things with the Holy Maiden Sect.

Once the transaction is complete, I, the bargaining chip, will return to the Yunhai Sect.

However, the matter of the Holy Maiden Sect cannot be known to the sect leader or others. Once I return to the Cloud Sea Sect, it will be difficult to handle this matter.

The last time I left the capital, I was followed by many spies who were watching my every move. I went to great lengths, using disguises and inconsistencies, to shake them off with Shuang'er, all so that I could quietly return to Tianyun Mountain to deal with the matters of the Holy Maiden Sect..."

Lingyin stared wide-eyed at Ye Feng's ugly face.

After a long while, Lingyin finally said, "Boy, do you know what you just said? I am the number one fairy in the world, do you think I'm a pig? Can't you come up with a better reason?"

Ye Feng smiled wryly and said, "What I said is true. If you don't believe me, ask Sanzhi'er."

Lingyin looked at the yellowish-brown Sanzhier in her arms and said, "Idiot, is this for real?"

Sanzhier nodded heavily.

Lingyin was slightly taken aback and said, "Is that really true?"

After saying that, Lingyin looked Ye Feng up and down and said, "No wonder we've been sleeping in the same bed and you haven't done anything beastly to me. It turns out you've been keeping hundreds of girls hidden away in Tianyun Mountain. You're something else."

Ye Feng said, "Lingyin, this is no joke. Those girls are pitiful. They are used as furnaces by cultivators. I couldn't bear to see them die, so I secretly rescued them."

This matter concerns not only my life, but also the lives of those girls. We've spent time together, and I've come to believe you're not the bad woman the rumors say you are. That's why I'm telling you this. You absolutely cannot tell anyone.

Lingyin didn't speak, but instead carried Sanzhier to the side, clearly communicating with Sanzhier in animal language.

Ye Feng stretched out his head and called out a few times, but Ling Yin did not respond.

After about half an incense stick's time, Lingyin turned around and looked at Ye Feng.

At this moment, Lingyin's expression was filled with anger.

Clearly, she had already learned the truth from Sanzhi'er.

Ye Feng stepped forward, about to speak, when Ling Yin suddenly slapped him hard across the face.

Ye Feng covered his face and cried out, "Lingyin, why did you hit me?"

"What do you think? Your Yunhai Sect claims to be the leader of the righteous path, but not a single one of you is any good! Even our Holy Sect has never seen anything like this. I never expected that people from your Yunhai Sect would do something so heinous!"

"That was all done by those people planted by the Venerable One. What does it have to do with our Cloud Sea Sect? Everyone involved was killed by our Sect Master Uncle half a year ago! Ouch... I took that slap for nothing..."
