Chapter 1400 - 1403: Who Will Tang Rou Help?

"It seems that letting Tang Rou follow Lord Lin for a few days was the right choice. She’s completely comprehended the Lotus Sutra in just six or seven days, truly worthy of being my direct disciple! Her understanding is truly unmatched by ordinary people!" Master Ciyun and the others had just arrived in Jiangzhou and were unaware that Tang Rou had awakened three days ago, thinking that she had just recently woken up. She spoke with evident pride!

Beside Master Ciyun, two old nuns also wore expressions of comfort. Clearly, they were unaware that Tang Rou had awakened from the World of Sutra Illusions within three days and were stunned by Tang Rou’s achievement of comprehending the Lotus Sutra within "six or seven days"...

After all, the three of them were considered to have good aptitude, but none could completely comprehend the twenty-eight sections of the Lotus Sutra within a year. One can only imagine how terrifying Tang Rou’s aptitude is!

Moreover, for hidden cultivators whose innate cultivation is just the beginning, Tang Rou’s potential goes far beyond that. They believe that given enough time, Tang Rou will surely promote the prosperity of Wunian Nunnery in Harbor City, and even the entire Buddhist sect, steadily rising in status within the Chinese Cultivation Realm!

Lin Feng felt that Master Ciyun’s words were somewhat biased, but naturally, at such times, he wouldn’t reveal it. He shot Tang Rou a glance, signaling her not to say anything, and then smirked with a conceited look, saying arrogantly, "You seem to misunderstand one thing: this is Jiangzhou, and Tang Rou is my woman. Her understanding, however good, has nothing to do with you... If you leave now, I might let you leave Jiangzhou intact. Otherwise, you might regret it!"

"Tsk..." Master Ciyun sneered, her expression cold as she looked at Lin Feng, saying calmly, "You’re the one who lacks understanding! Lin Feng, do you think this is our first day in Jiangzhou? Let me tell you, we’ve already investigated your background thoroughly! I know that Old Man Lu from Tianji Sect has some connections with you, and his granddaughter has tangled with you as well... If they were both here, we might actually be concerned about them! But unfortunately, they’ve returned to their sect and are not in Jiangzhou. You’re alone, with what will you fight us?!"

"Three innate... Certainly seems troublesome!" Lin Feng glanced at Master Ciyun and the others, his face calm, saying, "However, you got something wrong. How could I be alone? Don’t assume I don’t have any support!"

Lin Feng hadn’t finished speaking when Master Ciyun interrupted arrogantly, staring at Lin Feng with a smile, "Are you talking about that Old Man Xu from Hong Sect? Hehe... Lin Feng, let me tell you, we’ve already taken him into account. Even if he tries his best to help you, so what? A seventy-year-old immortal can’t stir any storm!"

Lin Feng’s expression was slightly stunned, seemingly not expecting Master Ciyun to guess Xu Yishan’s existence...

"I didn’t expect that in the presence of real hidden cultivators, I, this old undying, would be so insignificant... Lin Feng, this trip of mine is indeed a bit rude, cough cough!" The loud voice of Xu Yishan came from inside Longfeng Martial Hall as he walked out, coughing slightly as if somewhat embarrassed.

With Xu Yishan’s sudden appearance, not only did Lin Feng and Tang Rou, but also Master Ciyun and the three nuns, show no signs of surprise. They already knew Xu Yishan was waiting for them in Longfeng Martial Hall, yet they showed no fear of Xu Yishan, clearly confident.

Lin Feng smiled gently at Xu Yishan, saying plainly, "Don’t belittle yourself, Old Xu. Although the ladies here think you’re useless, I would never consider so... After all, you’re still an innate master. Even if age is catching up and your body is weaker, your cultivation remains! I truly don’t mind..."

"Pah, insolent boy, is that how you talk?" Xu Yishan glared at Lin Feng angrily, cursing.

"Heh heh..." Lin Feng merely smiled slightly, saying no more.

In reality, both Lin Feng and the three nuns knew that Xu Yishan was no sick old man. In fact, in terms of one-on-one, among the many innate masters present, probably none would be Xu Yishan’s match!

This is why Lin Feng put aside his pride to invite Xu Yishan along; he knew Xu Yishan indeed had the ability to intimidate the opposing old nuns!

However, the current issue was that Lin Feng and Xu Yishan combined were only two combatants, and the three nuns sent from Wunian Nunnery aiming to take Tang Rou were all mid-innate experts. With two against three, Lin Feng’s side was at a significant disadvantage!

"Hmph, Lin Feng, I know what you’re thinking..." Master Ciyun’s gaze swept over Xu Yishan and then looked at Lin Feng proudly with a glance, speaking sternly, "You probably think, with your and Old Xu’s strength, even if it’s two against three, you can intimidate our three from Wunian Nunnery, right?!"

"And then?" Lin Feng’s face showed a faint smile, casually asking.

"You’re completely wrong!" Master Ciyun glared at Lin Feng, coldly laughing, "With three against two, we’re already not afraid of you. Moreover, you forgot someone!! She’s also an innate master from the Buddhist sect!"

Upon finishing her words, Master Ciyun’s gaze suddenly turned to Tang Rou...

"Me?" Tang Rou slightly widened her eyes, glancing at Master Ciyun in bewilderment, then innocently looking at Lin Feng, showing hesitation.

Lin Feng gestured to Tang Rou not to speak, then furiously glared at Master Ciyun, asking in a stern voice, "Old Nun Ciyun, what do you mean by this? You actually want to drag Tang Rou into this, that’s too despicable!"

"Hehe... despicable?!" Master Ciyun coldly laughed, "Aren’t you a member of Hong Sect? Why are you so naive? Haven’t you understood the phrase, ’winners take all’? Besides, why do you think I imparted the Lotus Sutra to Tang Rou? She’s already accepted the inheritance from Wunian Nunnery, naturally, she’s a disciple. Now her memory is still a blank; you’re trying to restore her memory, right? Unfortunately, in the World of Sutra Illusions, one day equates to ten years outside, she’s probably forgotten everyone long ago, your efforts are doomed to be in vain... As long as I softly call Tang Rou’s true name in Buddhist chants, she’ll naturally become my supporter! Isn’t it funny, Lin Feng, you’ve spent so much effort protecting a disciple of Wunian Nunnery all these days!"

Lin Feng’s eyes flashed with a hint of anger, involuntarily glancing at Tang Rou.

"So that’s how it is..." Tang Rou smiled lightly, quietly looking at Master Ciyun, speaking in a flat tone, "Thank you, Master, for pointing that out. I understand your true purpose in teaching me the Sutra! However, I’m very sorry, I will help Lin Feng!"
