On the other side, Xue Jianfeng found Xin Yijie and said,””The sect of snow sword sect has ordered us to take Lengleng back to the sect for punishment. I want to use the immemorial passage, I believe martial uncle Xin will not stop me?”

Xin Yijie glanced at him and said,””That’s an internal matter of snow sword sect. As long as you prepare the spiritual Jade, I will not stop you.”

“Very good, I’ll go prepare the spiritual Jade now.” Xue Jianfeng immediately turned around and left. Even though he was a little distressed that he had to pay several pieces of spiritual Jade to deal with Leng Leng, this was official business. After he returned, he could apply for it again from the sect. With his background, he could even make a false number and claim a few more pieces. It was killing two birds with one stone.

Looking at Xue Jianfeng’s back as he left, Xin Yijie shook his head in disdain. What an arrogant and condescending junior. Before this incident, he had been acting all high and mighty, thinking that he was a rare young talent. Who would have thought that after his dantian was destroyed, his true colors would be revealed? with such a narrow mind, even if his dantian was repaired, he wouldn’t be able to achieve anything in the future.

Not long after Xue Jianfeng left, another person suddenly came to seek an audience. It was health-maintenance Fei.

“What are you doing here? Could it be that martial granduncle has some instructions?” Xin Yijie asked. In his eyes, health-maintenance Fei was no longer a snow sword sect disciple, but Lin Yi’s representative. After all, he was the one who brought him the message last time.

“Shishu Xin misunderstands, but this matter is indeed related to senior Lin.” Fei Yangsheng paused and asked,”did Xue Jianfeng want to send Leng Leng back to the ancient martial world?”

“That’s right. This is an internal matter of snow sword sect. I have no reason to stop you. Does this have anything to do with martial granduncle?” Xin Yijie couldn’t help but ask.

“Martial uncle Xin, you may not know this, but Leng Leng has a close relationship with senior Lin. If we just let her be escorted back to snow sword sect, senior Lin will definitely be furious. We have to think of a way.” Health-maintenance Fei said worriedly.

“This …” Xin Yijie froze, his expression strange. Lin Yi may look young, but he was an ancient existence in his heart. He didn’t think that he’d be with a little girl like Leng Leng. Wasn’t this like an old cow eating young grass?

“What’s wrong?” Health-maintenance Fei looked at his expression and said strangely.

“Oh, it’s nothing,” Xin Yijie quickly shook off this strange thought and smiled bitterly.””The problem is that this is an internal matter of snow sword sect. Even if I’m the person in charge of this trip to the secular world, it’s not appropriate for me to interfere with the affairs of other sects. It’s a taboo.”

“Uh …” Health-maintenance Fei suddenly choked and said helplessly,””Then what should we do? Are we just going to watch Leng Leng being escorted back to snow sword sect?”

“How about this,” Xin Yijie said after some thought.”I can’t stop him directly, but I can delay him for a while. You go and tell martial granduncle to come here as soon as possible.”

“Alright, I’ll go now.” Health-maintenance Fei immediately nodded and set off.

An hour later, Xue Jianfeng had finished his preparations and brought Ling Yu and Leng Leng to the ancient passageway’s teleportation formation. However, they were stopped by Xin Yijie.

“What’s the meaning of this?” Xue Jianfeng’s face darkened.

“Nothing much. There have been five to six letters sent to the ancient passageway in the past two days. It needs to be maintained well. If you want to use it, wait until tomorrow.” Xin Yijie said indifferently.

Xue Jianfeng almost went mad with anger. What kind of bullsh * t reason was that? since when did Xin Yijie, a mere early golden core stage expert, know how to repair the ancient passageway’s teleportation array?

“Martial uncle Xin, this is an internal matter of our snow sword sect. You’re not going to stop us, are you? This is no small matter. Aren’t you afraid that snow sword sect will report you and you will never be able to gain a foothold in the ancient Alliance?” Xue Jianfeng threatened with an unfriendly expression.

“What internal affairs? It’s my duty to protect the ancient passageway, but it’s now your snow sword sect’s internal affairs. What big words!” Xin Yijie said in disdain.

“Hmph, you know that’s not what I’m talking about. You didn’t protect it earlier or later, but just had to wait until I wanted to use it, and then you suddenly want to protect it. Isn’t the trace of using public office to avenge private wrongs a little too heavy?” Xue Jianfeng laughed coldly. Although Xin Yijie was the martial uncle-in-charge, they were already on the verge of falling out, so their words were naturally filled with the smell of gunpowder.

“You’re thinking too much. As the martial uncle leading the team for this experiential learning in the secular world, protecting the immemorial passage is the most important responsibility of all. Everything has been arranged. I’m not so narrow-minded as to take revenge on a junior like you.” Xin Yijie said indifferently.

“…” Xue Jianfeng was left speechless for a long time, his face turning green and white. He was no match for an old man like Xin Yijie in terms of experience and shrewdness. After a long while, he finally said,””That’s good. There should be a limit to maintaining the ancient passageway. When can I use it?”

“Two days later.” Xin Yijie said casually. Two days was his limit. If he continued to drag this out, he would really be in deep trouble.

“Alright, I’ll wait for you for two days!” Xue Jianfeng gritted his teeth and turned around to leave with his men. After taking two steps, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something and deliberately shouted,”All snow sword sect disciples, listen up. Keep a close eye on Leng Leng for the next two days. There must be at least four people on duty at all times. I’d like to see who’s so audacious to meddle in the internal affairs of snow sword sect!”

Xin Yijie grinned, speechless. This guy actually thought that he was stalling for time to let Leng Leng go? did he really look that brainless?

Two days passed by in a flash. The mountain Gate of Shennongjia was peaceful and quiet. Xue Jianfeng once again brought his men to the immemorial passageway. The first thing he said when he saw Xin Yijie was,””What excuse do you have to delay this?”

“Delay? When did I delay you? you’re just lying to yourself. ” Xin Yijie looked at him indifferently, but he was a little worried inside. If Lin Yi didn’t come by now, he had no reason to delay.

Xin Yijie was panicking, but Leng Leng was even more panicking. She didn’t know that health-maintenance Fei had already gone to tip Lin Yi off. Right now, her mind was in a final struggle-should she continue to endure being sent back to snow sword sect, or should she resist at all costs?

After thinking about it carefully, the consequences of either choice were too heavy for her to bear. She could either say goodbye to Lin Yi forever or be charged with betraying the sect. One of the two had to be it!

Seeing Xin Yijie step aside, Xue Jianfeng laughed coldly and said,””Let’s go, what are you waiting for? going back to snow sword sect and being punished is the only outcome for you. Do you think there’s anyone who can change this already destined result?” (To be continued.) ”
