Nameless Peak …
"Sister Gong, will that monster be destroyed?" Lying in Gong Bingye's embrace, Cai Zhiqiao allowed Gong Bingye to comb her hair. That rosy face of hers was filled with a solemn expression. For a child to have such an expression, one would not know whether to laugh or cry.
How could she be so emotional at such a young age?
"Senior Brother Feng, what are you busy with?" Looking at Feng Bujue who was pacing back and forth, Cai Zhiqiao asked curiously.
"Little Junior Sister, I'm preparing a meal to welcome Junior Brother Mie back!" Feng Bujue smiled.
Looking at everything before her, Gong Bingye sighed softly. She could only hope that everything would be fine.
Feng Bujue wasn't too sure himself. But by doing this, he could only bring some hope to his heart.
"Cai Zhiqiao, what kind of braid would you like today?" Gong Bingye smiled.
Cai Zhiqiao thought for a moment, "I want the prettiest braid."
"Alright …" Gong Bingye smiled and used her comb to comb through Cai Zhiqiao's silky hair. With her nimble hands, she began to weave her unique braid.
She had been in Glory Sect for a long time now.
Her family was getting stronger and stronger, and she liked this place even more.
There wasn't much deceit here. At the same time, it was filled with warmth.
In Gong Bingye's mind, with just a little more time, she might be able to step down from the position of the family leader and let someone else take over.
Gong Bingye had thought it through.
Whether or not she was a direct descendant didn't matter anymore.
As long as she could pass down the spirit of the family, that was all.
As for that person, Gong Bingye had never thought about it that much. The more she interacted with him, the more she felt the difference between them. It was a gap that could not be crossed.
Being able to accompany Cai Zhiqiao was a blissful thing.
"Big Senior Brother and Junior Brother Mie are back!" Lying in Gong Bingye's embrace, Cai Zhiqiao's eyes shone with joy when she saw the people approaching.
Gong Bingye heaved a sigh of relief as well. As long as they were fine.
"Junior Brother Mie, you're finally back safe and sound!" Feng Bujue rushed forth excitedly.
He had been worried for a long time, afraid that something might have happened. But now that they were back safe and sound, Feng Bujue could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
It was fine as long as he was fine.
Now that Mieqiongqi was the number one expert on Nameless Peak other than the Grand Master, there were some things that Junior Brother Mie had to take care of. This made Feng Bujue feel awkward as the Senior Brother.
However, they were a family. Sometimes, these things were not a big deal. As long as they were safe, that was the happiest.
"Junior Brother, I personally cooked this time and specially prepared a sumptuous feast for you." Feng Bujue gripped the cleaver and laughed happily. "Hmm, what's wrong with you guys? Why are all of you so distracted? What's wrong?"
Gong Bingye hugged Cai Zhiqiao and smiled gently. But when she caught sight of the expressions of Mieqiongqi and the others, she had a bad feeling in her heart, as though something bad had happened.
"Sister Gong, why are your hands shaking?" Zhiqiao looked at Gong Bingye innocently.
"Nothing much." Gong Bingye smiled gently as she continued to comb Zhiqiao's hair and braid her pretty hair.
Zhang Ergou looked at Feng Bujue with a pale face. His lips were trembling as he said hoarsely, "Master … he's dead."
Feng Bujue and the others were stunned as their faces darkened, "Master Yan is dead?"
Living on Nameless Peak, Master Yan had treated them well and given them a lot of help. Now that they heard that Master Yan was dead, Feng Bujue and the others could not help but feel their hearts wrench in pain.
"It's not Master Yan …!" Zhang Ergou cried out hoarsely. He could not help but sniffle as he wiped the corners of his eyes. His tears were like a fountain, flowing down like a river.
"If it's not Master Yan … then …!" Suddenly, Feng Bujue's face changed. His body shuddered as the cleaver in his hands fell to the ground with a loud clang.
Feng Bujue's face was pale as he bent down and picked up the cleaver. However, those trembling hands of his seemed to have understood something. Even so, he forced himself to stay calm.
"Big Senior Brother, don't joke around. How could this be? Our Master is still playing outside. Don't lie to me. I'm stupid, and I take everything for granted. Alright, let's stop talking … Let's eat. I've prepared a lot of good food." As though he could not find a target, Feng Bujue's eyes kept scanning the surroundings. His hands gripped his clothes tightly as though he was trying to grab onto this last bit of hope.
"Hurry up and eat. If you're joking with me, you'll be the one cooking from now on." Feng Bujue turned around and walked towards the kitchen while mumbling.
"MASTER IS REALLY DEAD …!" Zhang Ergou looked at Feng Bujue and howled out in rage. With a thud, he knelt down on the ground and gripped the ground with both his hands. "Master is dead! He perished together with the big ancient demon … Junior Brother!"
Gong Bingye, who had been combing Zhiqiao's hair, shuddered as the wooden comb in her hands dropped to the ground. Her eyes were dazed as well.
"How could this be?!"
Zhiqiao, who was initially all smiles, seemed to have understood something. Immediately, she broke free from Gong Bingye's grip and ran towards Zhang Ergou. Those tender little hands of hers tugged at Zhang Ergou's arm gently.
"Big Senior Brother, where's Master …?" Zhiqiao looked at her Big Senior Brother pitifully. Her cute eyes were filled with tears.
Feng Bujue gritted his teeth and turned around. Glaring at Zhang Ergou, he hollered, "Big Senior Brother, that's impossible! Master is the strongest man in Glory Sect! He went out to play! Once he's tired, he'll come back! Don't lie to me! Or I'll be angry! Tell me, you're lying to me …!"
TELL ME! YOU'RE LYING TO ME …! "" It's true. "Tian Yu lowered his head and looked into the distance, as though he could not accept this fact.
"MASTER'S CORPSE IS WITHIN THE MAIN HALL RIGHT NOW!"
"IMPOSSIBLE! I DON'T BELIEVE THIS!" Feng Bujue howled and ran down the mountain like a madman. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it.
The strongest man in Glory Sect, the Master who had been teaching them, how could he die just like that?
Saint Devil Sect had yet to become the number one sect!
...
Glory Sect, Main Hall …
A crystal sarcophagus was placed there quietly.
Countless disciples lowered their heads. Especially those outer sect disciples who had received help from Lin Fan, their eyes were red.
Even though Junior Master Lin had never acted according to the rules, and even bullied them at times, he had always helped them.
And now, Junior Master Lin's corpse lay within that cold crystal coffin.
Everything … everything seemed so surreal.
"MASTER …!" Just then, Feng Bujue rushed in. The moment he caught sight of the crystal coffin, his body shuddered as he slowed down his steps. His heart was thumping furiously.
"IMPOSSIBLE! THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE …!"
Feng Bujue walked up slowly. But when he came before the crystal coffin and saw the figure within, his entire body seemed to have been sucked dry. With a thud, he knelt down on the crystal coffin, gripping it tightly with both hands.
"HOW COULD THIS BE? HOW COULD THIS BE? MASTER, HURRY AND SAY SOMETHING! TELL ME THAT YOU WERE LYING TO US!" Feng Bujue screamed.
"Junior Brother Feng, Junior Master Lin has really left." Zong Hentian placed his hand on Feng Bujue's shoulder and consoled him.
"IMPOSSIBLE … HOW COULD THIS BE …?"
...
One after another, Gong Bingye, Cai Qiao, and the others arrived.
Looking at the figure lying within the crystal coffin, Cai Zhiqiao started bawling out as well.
"MASTER …! I WANT MASTER …!"
Mieqiongqi's heart was in so much pain that he could barely breathe. He had never felt this way before. It was as though something important had just disappeared from his heart.
Looking at the scene before them, Grandmaster Yan and the others were heartbroken as well. After exchanging glances with the Senior Elders, they left the place and headed towards the treasure vault.
Whatever he had promised Lin Fan, he had to fulfill it no matter what.
