“Please tell me, Senior Brother Liu Yun.” Duan Ling Tian’s heart jolted when he saw Liu Yun’s knowing look. However, he continued to play dumb.

“I remember you asking about the Fire Worship Sect’s Saint Girl numerous times! In the end, you even said that you want to go to the Enforcement Hall!” Liu Yun’s eyes glinted with intelligence as he said at a neither hurried nor slow pace, “Then, you even humiliated Wen Yan for seemingly no reason! I remember I once mentioned to you that the reason the Saint Girl, her daughter, and Senior Sister Ru Yan are imprisoned by the Enforcement Hall is due to Wen Yan reporting them! Currently, faced with the threat of Bu Hong, you don’t even plan to go into closed-door cultivation. Instead, you’re determined to go to the Enforcement Hall. Based on all these, it’s obvious to me there’s something, or should I say someone, you care about in the Enforcement Hall!” Liu Yun pieced the puzzle together.

Duan Ling Tian’s heartbeat quickened when he heard Liu Yun’s words. He did not expect Liu Yun to be so observant. He had guessed about 70% of everything.

“How do you know I’m not standing up for Senior Sister Ru Yan?” Duan Ling Tian asked nonchalantly as he suppressed the confusion in his heart.

As the most outstanding female disciple among the younger generation in the Fire Worship Sect, Gan Ru Yan was the dream lover of every male disciple of the younger generation. It was only normal that someone wanted to stand up for her.

“Junior Brother Ling Tian, if you’re only standing up for Senior Sister Ru Yan, you wouldn’t have mentioned the Saint Girl of our Fire Worship Sect after asking about the Enforcement Hall,” Liu Yun continued to say, “Not only that, but I also remember when I mentioned Senior Sister Ru Yan and said she’s a powerhouse ranked on the Supreme Saint Ranking, you were very shocked at that time! If you’re really standing up for Senior Sister Ru Yan, you would at least know that about her. How could you possibly not know she’s a powerhouse ranked on the Supreme Saint Ranking? For this reason, I’m certain you know the Saint Girl. Moreover, you have quite a close relationship with her. Did I guess correctly, Junior Brother Ling Tian?” Liu Yun looked at Duan Ling Tian knowingly when he finished speaking. It was as though he had seen through everything.

Duan Ling Tian remained silent when he heard Liu Yun’s question. However, a terrifying killing intent could be seen in his eyes when he looked at Liu Yun.

Liu Yun who was observant, naturally, noticed the killing intent instantly. He was so shocked that colors drained from his face.

“Junior Brother Ling Tian, you don’t have to feel worried. I won’t reveal this matter. I won’t even mention this to Brother Mu!” Liu Yun hurriedly said to make his stance clear.

As soon as Liu Yun finished speaking, he did not wait for Duan Ling Tian’s reply as he pricked his finger and swore on the lightning penalty oath that he would not reveal anything he had just said or betray Duan Ling Tian. Otherwise, he would be killed by the lightning penalty.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

After Liu Yun swore on the lightning penalty oath, nine claps of thunder sounded from the sky.

The killing intent in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes disappeared instantly when he saw how willing Liu Yun was to swear on the lightning penalty oath. Apart from that, a guilty and awkward expression appeared on his face instead.

However, it seemed as though Liu Yun did not take offense at the killing intent Duan Ling Tian had emitted earlier. Moreover, he even took the initiative to speak first.

“Junior Brother Ling Tian, I’ve already sworn on the lightning penalty oath. Can you tell me what relationship you have with the Saint Girl of our Fire Worship Sect?”

“Senior Brother Liu Yun, I’m sorry for the way I reacted earlier. I’ve judged you way too quickly.” As soon as Duan Ling Tian apologized, he immediately answered Liu Yun’s question.”She is my wife.”

Wife!

Although Liu Yun had suspected Duan Ling Tian had a close relationship with the Saint Girl of the Fire Worship Sect, it did not cross his mind they were that close. The Saint Girl of their Fire Worship Sect was Junior Brother Ling Tian’s wife? Then, the Saint Girl’s daughter was also Junior Brother Ling Tian’s daughter? When Liu Yun thought about this, he had a baffled expression on his face.

“Y-You’re the Saint Girl’s husband?”

It did not even cross Liu Yun’s mind that Duan Ling Tian was the husband of the Fire Worship Sect’s Saint Girl, someone whom the Fire Worship Sect’s high-ranking officials itched to find and kill

“Junior Brother Ling Tian, let me calm down for a bit…” After hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, Liu Yun could not calm down for a long time as various expressions flitted across his face. It was hard to tell what was running through his mind.

After a while, Liu Yun finally regained his composure.

“Junior Brother Ling Tian, does this mean you came to the Fire Worship Sect for the Saint Girl?” Liu Yun asked after he took a deep breath and looked at Duan Ling Tian with a burning gaze.

“Yes.” Since Liu Yun had already sworn on the lightning penalty oath, Duan Ling Tian had no plans to lie to him. He nodded in response to his question. “My objective of coming here is to rescue my wife. Naturally, based on my current strength, it’s still not enough for me to save her.” His expression turned gloomy when he reached the end of his sentence. Soon after, a determined expression appeared on his face as he said, “Right now, I only hope that I can see my wife and my daughter whom I’ve never met before when I serve in the Enforcement Hall. I’ll save them eventually!”

“Junior Brother Ling Tian…” When Liu Yun heard his words, he could not help but sigh. “It’s not my intention to burst your bubble, but your innate talent… I’m afraid it won’t be enough for you to save the Saint Girl and her daughter! After all, you only possess a yellow Innate Spiritual Root.” For Liu Yun to be able to say such words meant he really regarded Duan Ling Tian as his friend. “Even if you possess an indigo Innate Spiritual Root and not a yellow one, you still might not grow strong in time to save the Saint Girl and her daughter before our Fire Worship Sect’s Sect Leader comes out of his closed-door cultivation.” Liu Yun smiled wryly. “In fact, the Enforcement Hall’s Hall Master is someone whose strength is not inferior to the two Vice Sect Leaders! Let alone the Enforcement Hall’s Hall Master, even the Vice Hall Masters are as strong as a Golden Flame Elder. If you want to save them from the Enforcement Hall, you’ll have to be at least strong enough to defeat the Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall. Even if you have an indigo Innate Spiritual Root, the Sect Leader would’ve come out from his closed-door cultivation by the time you possess that strength. He would’ve given his verdict in regards to the Saint Girl at that time!” Liu Yun kept sighing as he spoke. He did not think Duan Ling Tian would be able to save the Saint Girl who was locked in the Enforcement Hall.

“Senior Brother Liu Yun, I understand all the things you said,” Duan Ling Tian sighed before he looked at Liu Yun solemnly and asked, “If it’s your close friends or relatives are being imprisoned in the Enforcement Hall, and you also know it’s almost impossible for you to save them, would you just watch them being sentenced to death without even trying?”

“Of course not!” Liu Yun immediately shook his head. At the same time, he placed himself in Duan Ling Tian’s shoes and understood Duan Ling Tian’s feelings. If he was Duan Ling Tian, he would not have acted differently.

“Junior Brother Ling Tian!” Suddenly, as though Liu Yun was reminded of something, he took out a jade pendant.

The front of the jade pendant was carved with a willow tree that appeared exquisitely fine. Two words were carved at the corner of the willow tree.

One was ‘Liu’ (or willow) while the other was ‘lineal’.

(The Chinese character ‘Liu’ means willow)

“This is the personal jade pendant that only the lineal disciples in our Liu Clan possess. My name is carved behind the jade pendant.” Liu Yun turned the jade pendant around, revealing a ‘Yun’ character.

However, Duan Ling Tian had no idea why Liu Yun would take this jade pendant out at this moment. “Senior Brother Liu Yun, you’re…”

“Junior Brother Ling Tian, I know you want to go to the Enforcement Hall to see the Saint Girl. However, as far as I know, the true disciples on duty in the Enforcement Hall don’t have any contact with people who are imprisoned in the Enforcement Hall!” Liu Yun said without beating around the bush.

His words caused horror to dawn on Duan Ling Tian immediately!

If this was true, he would not be able to see Ke’er.

Meanwhile, Liu Yun continued to say, “It’s a coincidence that a senior lineal disciple from our Liu Clan is serving in the Enforcement Hall. Moreover, he’s a Silver Flame Elder as well. When you go to the Enforcement Hall, you can take my jade pendant to look for him and ask him to arrange a meeting for you with Senior Sister Ru Yan.”

“Gan Ru Yan?” Upon hearing his words, Duan Ling Tian was baffled. He did not want to see Gan Ru Yan. He wanted to see his wife and daughter!

When Liu Yun saw the baffled expression on Duan Ling Tian’s face, he said, “Junior Brother Ling Tian, if you directly say you want to meet the Saint Girl, I’m afraid even that senior lineal disciple from our Liu Clan wouldn’t be able to help you even if he’s willing. After all, he’s only a Silver Flame Elder in the Enforcement Hall. He isn’t a Vice Hall Master nor is he the Hall Master! The Saint Girl’s identity is very special and sensitive in the Enforcement Hall. Let alone you, even if a Golden Flame Elder wants to see the Saint Girl, the Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall wouldn’t agree to it as well!” Liu Yun continued to say, “However, the situation is different if you want to meet with Senior Sister Ru Yan. The senior lineal disciple from our Liu Clan will probably be able to arrange that for you.” Liu Yun sighed when he finished speaking.

Various expressions flitted across Duan Ling Tian’s face after he heard Liu Yun’s words. He did not expect he would not be able to see Ke’er even if he had the help of Silver Flame Elder from the Enforcement Hall!

“Thank you, Senior Brother Liu Yun.” In the end, Duan Ling Tian still took the jade pendant Liu Yun offered to him.
