The master went down the mountain and met the beautiful CEO's fiancée

Chapter 367 Li Nian

After a while, a middle-aged monk in a dark blue brocade robe and with a square face walked out quickly, followed by the waiter.

"May I ask your Excellency?"

The middle-aged cultivator was Lin Yue, the manager of the Panlei City branch of the Tianji Pavilion. When he saw Yun Chen, he was stunned and a hint of suspicion appeared in his eyes.

He knew all the direct disciples of the Divine Thunder Palace... but the Yun Chen in front of him was very unfamiliar.

Of course, this is not his fault. Yun Chen became a disciple in a hurry and had not had time to announce it to the world or perform the ceremony of becoming a disciple, so it is normal that he did not recognize him.

Yun Chen didn't want to be polite.

"My name is Yunchen, the disciple that the master of the Divine Thunder Palace recently accepted. You can go and check it out, but before that, save him first."

He turned sideways to let Lin Yue see the young man in his arms.

Lin Yue felt a shock all over his body when he heard this.

The master had just accepted him as his personal disciple, and his identity was not something that a mere manager like him could check.

However, no one dared to impersonate this kind of identity, especially since this place was at the foot of the Divine Thunder Palace.

"Let me see!"

Lin Yue hurried forward to check, and saw that the boy was breathing weakly and had hideous wounds. His face immediately became solemn.

"Come with me."

He didn't say any more nonsense and hurriedly took Yun Chen to the back hall.

Yun Chen followed closely with the young man in his arms. As they passed through the crowd, the monks who had been watching earlier all moved away, and no one dared to say a word.

In a room in the back hall.

Yun Chen walked in under the guidance of Lin Yue, and then put the child on the bed.

"Master, what happened? How could it be..."

Lin Yue looked at Yun Chen's gloomy face and asked tentatively.

"The Shadow Snake Group did it."

Yun Chen's expression was cold and his tone was indifferent, but Lin Yue saw murderous intent in his eyes.

"The Shadow Snake Group? They've infiltrated Panlei City?"

Lin Yue's whole body trembled involuntarily, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

He is the manager of the Tianji Pavilion in Panlei City. If he doesn't know that the Shadow Snake Group has sneaked in, then the crime will be extremely serious.

Thinking of this, his heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

Yun Chen didn't care about his thoughts. Seeing that the young man's injuries had stabilized, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Go and bring me information about Yunxiao Pavilion. There's a courtyard on the outskirts of the city that's the base of the Shadow Snake Group. Send someone there to find out who owns that courtyard!"

He didn't believe that the members of the Shadow Snake Group could stay in Panleicheng openly without any internal support.

Since someone is a traitor, he will expose the traitor as well.

Otherwise, even if we get rid of those Japanese monks in Yunxiao Pavilion, it is inevitable that more Japanese monks will sneak in.

"Yunxiao Pavilion? Great!"

Lin Yue was stunned for a moment, but he didn't dare to delay and hurried down.

After a while he came in with some information.

"All the information is here. Is there something wrong with Yunxiao Pavilion?"

Lin Yue handed the information to Yun Chen and asked tentatively.

Yun Chen reached out to take it, glanced up at him, and did not answer.

His fingers slid across the yellowed jade slip, and his eyes grew darker.

The jade slip only contains a few records about Yunxiao Pavilion, mentioning only that it was a brothel established in the East Continent a hundred years ago. It kept a low profile and never participated in disputes among cultivators. The specific personnel and activity tracks were blank.

"Is that all?" Yun Chen raised his eyes, his tone cold.

Lin Yue looked embarrassed. "Master, this Yunxiao Pavilion is a place of romance and entertainment. It's usually well-behaved... I haven't noticed anything wrong."

Although Tianji Pavilion is a place for selling intelligence, it does not collect all intelligence.

What's more... before, a lot of information of Tianji Pavilion was obtained from Yunxiao Pavilion. Who would suspect Yunxiao Pavilion?

Of course, he didn't dare tell Yun Chen about this.

After all, having secret communication with Japan is equivalent to being a treasonous person. Although he has not done it, he does not want Yun Chen to suspect him because of it.

"Behave well?" Yun Chen raised his eyes and sneered, with a curve at the corner of his mouth.

"I'm giving you a task now. Send someone to Yunxiao Pavilion..."

Yun Chen told Lin Yue his plan, and his pupils widened.

"Is this... possible?"

"Try it. I now suspect that Yunxiao Pavilion is the base of Japanese monks in the East Continent. As the manager of Panlei City of Tianji Pavilion... if this is true, I don't need to tell you what the consequences will be, right?" Yun Chen looked at him with a playful smile on his face.

Lin Yue couldn't help but shudder: "Master, please help me testify. I really don't know anything about this."

"It doesn't matter whether you testify or not. What matters is... whether you can prove yourself." Yun Chen said lightly.

"How to prove it?" Lin Yue looked anxious.

Yun Chen smiled and said, "That depends on your performance next... If you do what I just told you, I can guarantee that you will be safe."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yue immediately bowed and replied, "Master, rest assured, I will definitely see to it!"

After Lin Yue left, Yun Chen walked to the bedside. The boy's breathing had become much calmer, but the blood stains on his face were still shocking.

He took out a wet wipe and carefully wiped the boy's cheek, revealing his handsome but scarred face.

While wiping, the boy's eyelashes trembled and he slowly opened his eyes.

"Big brother..." The boy's voice was hoarse, with a confused look in his eyes. Then he remembered something and suddenly grabbed Yun Chen's hand, "My parents and my little sister..."

Yun Chen held his shoulders and said softly, "I know. I will avenge you. Now you should take good care of your injuries."

Tears welled up in the boy's eyes, but he stubbornly pursed his lips and nodded vigorously: "My name is Li Nian, big brother, my parents and little sister are all dead. Can I...can I practice with you?"

Yun Chen couldn't help but frown, and shook his head in rejection, "No!"

I am already in danger and can hardly protect myself, so bringing a burden with me is too troublesome.

The most important thing is that sooner or later I will have to leave here, and I don't know what the situation will be. Can I agree to it? Can I take him away with me?

“Huh…? Okay!”

The young man lowered his head, a hint of disappointment flashing across his eyes. He murmured, "My father is right. Big brother is a man of great things. Why would he... take me with him? I'm ignorant. I'm sorry, big brother..."

Yun Chen: ...

Looking at the young man's dejected look with his fists clenched white, Yun Chen's heart softened inexplicably.

He remembered the boy's unyielding eyes as he was pressed on the bluestone slab, and the way he shouted "revenge" while enduring the severe pain.

"I don't think you're troublesome."

Yun Chen sat down beside the bed and softened his tone, "The path of cultivation is dangerous. My affairs are far-reaching, and I might be killed someday. Following me will only bring you danger."

Li Nian suddenly looked up, the disappointment in his eyes instantly replaced by a gleam of light. He ignored the pain in his body and struggled to sit up: "I'm not afraid! Even if I die, I will learn the skills to take revenge! I don't want to be like this anymore, watching my loved ones being killed while I can't do anything!"

The young man's voice was not loud, but it was filled with a determination to fight to the death. Fine cold sweat oozed from his forehead due to the exertion, and the wounds on his waist and abdomen were faintly bleeding.

Looking at this scene, Yun Chen's mouth twitched slightly, and then he sighed.

"You can't follow me, but... I can arrange a good place for you."
