After Linlong walked out of the mission hall, he discovered a black mass of people in the plaza. There seemed to be at least two thousand people there.
Yang Jian's rallying power must be quite great, Yang Fan thought.
However, with his strength, he did not put Yang Jian in his eyes at all.
Although he did not put Yang Jian in his eyes, if he wanted to leave, he had to leave the plaza first. So, Linlong still walked towards the plaza.
He had only taken a few steps into the plaza when he heard a clear yet clearly anxious voice. "Senior Lin, why have you come here as well?"
Linlong turned his head and saw a delicate-looking young lady walking towards him a few steps to his right. It was his junior, Murong Xue.
"What is it? Junior Murong, can't I come here?" Linlong asked curiously.
"Senior Lin, don't you know that the person who called everyone here is Senior Yang Jian? He's clearly here to cause trouble for you, yet you came here to throw yourself into his trap," Murong Xue said with a frown.
As she spoke, she pulled him to a place with fewer people.
"Cause trouble for me?" Linlong smiled indifferently. He did not put Murong Xue's words in his eyes.
"Enough. Stay by my side and don't go anywhere," Murong Xue said with an unyielding appearance.
Although Murong Xue seemed very independent, it was rare for her to be so unyielding. Linlong found it rather interesting.
The reason why Murong Xue was so forceful was because she wanted to use her relationship with Yang Jian to protect Linlong. She didn't want Linlong to be stopped by Yang Jian's people.
"Mm, that's fine. I'll let Junior Murong protect me," Linlong said interestedly.
It was also at this moment that a handsome but extremely calm young man walked onto the high platform in front of them.
There was originally no stage on the plaza. For Yang Jian's convenience, a few people built a simple stage at the last minute.
"That's Senior Yang Jian," Murong Xue whispered into Linlong's ear.
Actually, even without Murong Xue's introduction, Linlong could tell that the person on the simple stage was Yang Jian. Other than him, there was likely no other disciple in the entire academy who possessed such an aura and strength.
Mn, the strength of a rank five Martial Lord? A faint smile appeared on Linlong's face after he saw through the other party's strength.
"When Senior Yang Jian left the academy a year ago, he had just become an Early Martial Lord. After such a long time, he should have the strength of a rank two or three Martial Lord now," Murong Xue continued by Linlong's ear.
Little did she know that Linlong had already seen through her opponent's strength.
"In addition to his strength in martial arts, Senior Brother Yang Jian is also a powerful alchemist. When he left the academy a year ago, he had already obtained the qualifications to become a fourth-tier alchemist in the southern region. I wonder if he has already obtained the qualifications to become a sixth-tier alchemist now."
"Other than that, Senior Brother Yang Jian is also the young master of the Yang family in Lian Chuan City. The Yang family is the number one family in Lian Chuan City …"
Afraid that Lin Long wouldn't know, Murong Xue quickly explained everything to him.
After listening to Murong Xue's introduction, Linlong had a better understanding of what kind of person Yang Jian was. Murong Xue's introduction was even more detailed than the information he'd heard about Yang Jian before.
"Junior Sister Murong, you seem to know Senior Brother Yang Jian quite well," Linlong said offhandedly.
When she heard Linlong's words, Murong Xue hurriedly explained, "Senior Brother Lin, our Murong family is on good terms with Yang Jian, so … so I know him better."
"Mm." Linlong nodded.
At that moment, Yang Jian, who was on the stage, got to the main topic.
"Seniors, thank you for giving me face and coming to the plaza. The reason why I've called everyone here today is because I want to give a certain person a surprise …" Yang Jian said from the stage.
Those who'd already noticed Linlong naturally focused their gazes on him when they heard Yang Jian's words.
If it wasn't for the fact that they didn't know Linlong was in the crowd, they would have definitely shifted their gazes in his direction.
Feeling their gazes, Murong Xue subconsciously grabbed Linlong's wrist.
She didn't know why, but she'd always kept a certain distance from Linlong. Now, however, she'd completely forgotten about it.
"A year ago, I made a promise to a girl that I would do something today. That's why I rushed back today, travel-worn, and invited everyone here without even resting," Yang Jian said loudly from the stage. His eyes shone with a blissful light.
Most of the people present were dumbfounded when they heard Yang Jian's words.
They'd thought that Yang Jian had called everyone here to put Linlong in his place. Who would've thought that it was because of a woman?
"That's normal. Senior Brother Yang Jian is the pride of the heavens. Why would he care about a nobody like Linlong? That's why he wouldn't go through all that trouble for Linlong."
"That's right, that's right. It's only normal for Senior Brother Yang Jian to do something like this for a woman."
Someone immediately offered an explanation for Yang Jian's actions.
"Just which woman did Senior Brother Yang Jian mobilize such a large force for?"
The disciples began to discuss this topic.
Very soon, they all locked onto Liu Yuhuan, because she was Yang Jian's confidante. She was the closest to Yang Jian. There seemed to be no one else apart from her.
Moreover, Liu Yuhuan and Yang Jian were a perfect match. They were practically a match made in heaven.
"Unfortunately, Senior Sister Liu is currently in seclusion. She can't make it here. Senior Brother Yang Jian has wasted his efforts."
Quite a few people began to sigh.
"What do you mean Senior Sister Liu can't make it here? That woman in a light green dress in the front row is none other than Senior Sister Liu!" Then, their sighs came to a screeching halt. Someone immediately pointed out Liu Yuhuan, who was standing in the front row.
"I never thought that Senior Sister Liu would disregard the dean's ban. How surprising."
"What do you know? This is the power of love. Although Senior Sister Liu will be heavily punished by the dean in the end, compared to seeing Senior Brother Yang Jian here, that punishment is nothing!"
At that moment, everyone could not help but sigh in admiration.
"Although the two of them are in love with each other, Senior Sister Liu was taken advantage of by Linlong in public. He touched what should be touched, and he touched what shouldn't be touched. If Senior Brother Yang Jian finds out about this later, how will he deal with it? In my opinion, Senior Brother Yang Jian is so prideful that he won't be able to accept this. "
At this moment, his words immediately shut the mouths of those people who were praising him.
Most of them were only thinking about the two of them. They had completely forgotten about what Linlong and Linlong had done in the past few days.
If Senior Brother Yang Jian finds out, what will he do?
