“Little Green Dragon, do you need my help with your matters?” Lin Yun looked at the little green dragon.
The little green dragon had done so much for Lin Yun, and of course, Lin Yun wanted to help it in return.
The little green dragon shook its head. “You can’t help with this. The matters involved are quite complicated, and the dragon realm isn’t a place for humans. Even Eternal Realm experts wouldn’t dare to meddle in the internal affairs of the dragon clan.”
“Alright then. Be careful. I feel like this could be dangerous,” Lin Yun said.
“There will definitely be danger, but I have to face it! I must take my revenge!” The little green dragon’s tone was resolute, and a murderous intent surged within it.
Lin Yun could fully understand the little green dragon’s feelings.
Lin Yun didn’t try to dissuade it. If he were in its position, he would also seek revenge, no matter how dangerous it was.
“Kid, you helped me restore my soul and rebuild my body. You gave me a second life. Although our master-servant contract has been dissolved, and you’re no longer my master, from now on, you’re my big brother!” the little green dragon declared.
It looked up at Lin Yun and continued, “Kid, wait for my news. If I can settle everything, I’ll contact you. When that time comes, I’ll be your backer. Super families like the Gu family will be nothing, and even Emperor Xingwu will have to treat you with respect.”
The little green dragon’s tone shifted. “But if I don’t contact you for several years, it probably means I’m dead. Don’t get involved in this mess. Just pretend I never existed.”
Lin Yun looked at the little green dragon seriously. “Pretend you never existed? Little Green Dragon, do you think that’s possible? If you really die, I’ll find a way to avenge you, no matter how dangerous it is. You know my personality!”
Upon hearing this, the little green dragon turned around, its back facing Lin Yun, and rubbed its slightly reddened eyes.
Having been with Lin Yun for so long, it knew Lin Yun’s personality well.
“Don’t worry. I’ve died once before, so I’ll be extra careful and cherish this life. I won’t be so easily killed again. That’s enough talk. It’s not like we’re parting forever,” the little green dragon said. Then, it transformed into its dragon form.
“Kid, I’m off! I’ll contact you after I settle my matters. Wait for my news!”
After leaving these words, the little green dragon soared into the sky, disappearing into the clouds in an instant.
Lin Yun gazed at the sky. “Good brother, come back alive. I’ll be waiting for you…”
Parting is always bittersweet.
Lin Yun felt a deep sense of loss as the little green dragon left.
During his years of wandering the cultivation continent, the little green dragon had been by his side most of the time.
But true friendship isn’t about possession.
The little green dragon had its own world and its own matters to attend to.
So, Lin Yun couldn’t keep it, unless he truly treated it as a tool.
“Time flies. I’ve already reached the Mahayana Realm,” Lin Yun sighed as he looked at the sky.
When he first met the little green dragon, Lin Yun was only at the Nascent Soul Realm. Back then, he couldn’t have imagined reaching the Mahayana Realm in just over a decade. At that time, the Mahayana Realm was something he could only look up to.
Now, Lin Yun had stepped into the ranks of the strong.
“Lin Yun.”
A voice called out.
Lin Yun turned to see the Grand Elder walking over from a stone path in the distance.
“Grand Elder, you’re here.”
Lin Yun wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes and forced a smile.
“Lin Yun, your battle pet just flew away?” the Grand Elder asked in surprise.
“Yes, it went to handle its own matters. Also, it’s not my battle pet. We’re friends,” Lin Yun said with a smile.
“I assumed you had a soul contract with it. Lin Yun, you’re being foolish. You should have kept it to protect you. With it by your side, your safety would be greatly assured. Capturing such a powerful battle pet is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, yet you let it go. What a pity,” the Grand Elder sighed, shaking his head.
Lin Yun simply smiled and didn’t explain further.
Outsiders might think Lin Yun was foolish for letting such a powerful battle pet leave. After all, the Grand Elder had no emotional connection with the little green dragon and could only view the situation from a detached perspective.
Lin Yun understood that he was simply allowing his good brother to handle its own affairs. As long as he understood this, that was enough.
“By the way, Lin Yun, I came here on the sect master’s orders to fetch you. We’ll be setting off for Xingwu City soon to attend the Ten Thousand Flowers Banquet,” the Grand Elder said.
“Alright.”
Lin Yun nodded and followed the Grand Elder toward the main hall.
When they arrived at the main hall, the sect master was already waiting outside, and a flying boat was prepared.
In addition to the sect master, there were over a dozen Heavenly Sword Sect disciples, including Zhi Jin and Daniel.
After all, they were the pillars of the Heavenly Sword Sect and would become the core strength of the sect in the future. The sect master wanted to take them to broaden their horizons at the Ten Thousand Flowers Banquet.
“Sect Master.”
Lin Yun bowed to the sect master as he approached.
“Lin Yun, your battle pet just flew away?” the sect master asked in surprise.
Clearly, the sect master had also seen the little green dragon flying off.
“Yes,” Lin Yun nodded.
“Without its protection, you’ll need to be extra careful when you’re out in the world,” the sect master said.
“I understand,” Lin Yun replied.
“Let’s board the flying boat,” the sect master said.
“Sect Master, are you going too? What about guarding the Heavenly Sword Sect? What if the Gu family or the Soul Refining Sect take advantage of your absence?” Lin Yun asked in surprise.
During the Thousand Sects War, the sect master had stayed behind to guard the sect.
The sect master smiled. “The invitation to the Ten Thousand Flowers Banquet has my name on it, so I can’t skip it. Besides, the Gu family patriarch and the Soul Refining Sect leader will also be invited. They wouldn’t dare cause any major trouble before the banquet. Don’t worry.”
“I see,” Lin Yun nodded in understanding.
“Alright, let’s board the flying boat,” the sect master said, then leaped onto the boat.
Lin Yun followed suit.
The Grand Elder and the Second Elder didn’t come, as they were the sect’s main forces after the sect master and needed to stay behind to guard the sect.
However, Elder Mei Gu was accompanying them. After all, the sect master needed to bring at least one elder for situations where it would be inconvenient for him to act personally.
Once everyone boarded the flying boat, it set off, speeding toward Xingwu City!
In the square below.
Many disciples looked up at the sky.
“The sect master and Senior Brother Lin Yun have set off!”
“I wonder how Senior Brother Lin Yun will perform in the Ten Thousand Flowers Competition at the banquet. I’m so excited!”
“The Ten Thousand Flowers Competition is much more difficult than the Thousand Sects War. I hope Senior Brother Lin Yun can achieve a good result and bring glory to our Heavenly Sword Sect!”
…
The disciples chattered excitedly.
Disciples like Da Li Yuan Tai and Liu Suyun also gazed at the sky.
“I’ll never catch up to Lin Yun’s level…” Da Li Yuan Tai sighed.
