“Alright!” Master Wu agreed.
The group took to the air, heading straight toward the eastern direction, which led to the Elf Clan.
On the way, Wu Chengtian took the initiative to recount everything that had happened with Wu Jun and the events at Baixiang House, telling Master Wu every detail.
After all, with such a significant incident, they had no intention of hiding it from Master Wu.
Master Wu, after hearing the account, seemed very angry, “This Wu Jun, does he really think we’re easy to bully? His father schemed against me back then, and now Wu Jun comes to bully my sons. It’s simply too much!”
Master Wu did not blame Wu Chengtian and his brothers for clashing with Wu Jun.
Master Wu was only furious with Wu Jun, as it was Wu Jun who had provoked the conflict and tried to bully Wu Chengtian.
Then Master Wu turned to Lin Yun, “Lin Yun, this was originally a matter of our Wu family, yet you got dragged into it. I feel quite ashamed.”
“Master Wu, you’re too kind. You’ve treated me well, and when Wu Chengtian was being bullied, I couldn’t just stand by,” Lin Yun said.
“If that Wu Jun dares to retaliate against you, I will fully support you,” Master Wu said firmly.
…
After travelling for a day and a half.
“Lin Yun, this should be far enough,” Master Wu said.
“Alright, let’s stop here,” Lin Yun replied.
With that, everyone came to a halt.
They were now extremely far from Heart City, and just ahead was the region where the Elf Clan was active.
Lin Yun turned to the female elf and said, “Now, you can fully believe that I bought you to set you free, right?”
“Yes,” the female elf nodded.
If she had still harboured some doubts at Baixiang House, she now completely trusted him.
“We’ll escort you to this point. Ahead is the active region of your Elf Clan, so there shouldn’t be any danger,” Lin Yun said to her.
“Lin Yun, thank you. We were strangers, yet you were willing to spend 50 million Haoyue Crystals to save me and even risked escorting me here. I will always remember this kindness. Without you, I would have been doomed. I never thought there could be such a good person among humans,” the female elf said, her beautiful eyes gazing earnestly at Lin Yun.
Through Lin Yun’s conversations with Wu Chengtian and the others, she had naturally learned his name long ago.
“I thought you were cold-hearted, but it turns out you know how to say thank you,” Lin Yun said with a smile, sighing.
“I’m not cold-hearted. It’s just that at the beginning, I didn’t know if you had ulterior motives,” the female elf said, pouting.
The female elf flashed a charming smile and continued, “By the way, you haven’t asked my name yet.”
This was the first time Lin Yun had seen her smile since buying her.
“It doesn’t matter. After we part today, we may never meet again. Whether I know your name or not, what difference does it make?” Lin Yun said with a smile.
“My name is Zitong. I will definitely repay your life-saving kindness. Take this jade pendant as a token of my gratitude.”
Zitong took out a jade pendant and handed it to Lin Yun.
“No need. I didn’t save you for repayment,” Lin Yun shook his head.
“You must take it!”
Zitong grabbed Lin Yun’s arm, opened his hand, and placed the jade pendant in his palm.
“Your personality is quite different from hers,” Lin Yun said with a slightly melancholic smile.
“Do I really resemble the woman you mentioned?” Zitong asked, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lin Yun with a particular allure.
“Quite similar, but… I can never see her again,” Lin Yun said, lowering his head.
“Then look at me a few more times,” Zitong said.
Lin Yun raised his head, looked at her, and murmured, “Alright, I’ll look a bit longer. Perhaps I won’t see you again after this.”
Lin Yun had saved her, but he couldn’t save Wang Xue back then…
A moment later.
“Alright, you should go now. Be careful on the way, and don’t come back to Heart City in the future. It’s best not to come to the ancestral land at all. A beautiful and captivating female elf like you is too vulnerable here,” Lin Yun said.
“I will repay you. Remember my name!”
With that, Zitong turned and left, flying toward the direction of the Elf Clan.
Lin Yun watched her leave until she completely disappeared from his sight.
“Finally, we safely escorted her back. It went quite smoothly,” Lin Yun sighed.
“Lin Yun, let’s head back now,” Master Wu said.
“Alright, thank you for your help on this trip, Master Wu,” Lin Yun said with a smile.
With that, the group turned to head back.
