Chapter 139: Master Xun and Xue En

"Brother!"

Zhao Bei looked at Tian Lin with some concern, and said to Tian Lin:
"Perhaps we have recognized the wrong person? This is indeed the home of your Han friend, but the woman in front of us may not be your Han friend's wife."

Tian Lin also felt that the quail's cry alone might not mean anything, so he gently let go of Zhao Bei's hand and strode towards the woman.

The woman put down the bird-shaped wood carving in her hand and looked at Tian Lin in confusion, while the man next to her reached for the hatchet behind his waist and blocked the woman:
"Who the hell are you two and what do you want to do to my family?"

Tian Lin ignored the man and just looked at the woman and said, "Do you know Han Li? Is this Han Li's home?"

The woman's face changed, and the man's face became even gloomier.

He opened the wooden door, waved the hatchet in his hand, and threatened Tian Lin: "There is no Han Li here, you are in the wrong place. Get out of Hanjia Bay and don't bother us."

The man's original intention was to scare Tian Lin with the hatchet, but how could Zhao Bei, who was behind Tian Lin, allow a mortal to offend his senior brother?

He stretched out his hand and used his flying sword to cut off the hatchet in the man's hand.

Then he stepped forward and pushed with his right hand, tripped with his left foot, and pushed the man to the ground.

After cutting off the man's hatchet, the flying sword flew back into Zhao Bei's hand.

Zhao Bei stepped on the man's chest with his right foot to prevent him from getting up. He pointed his sword at the man's throat to prevent him from struggling on the ground.

Zhao Bei scolded the man, "I didn't ask you to speak, how dare you attack my brother?"

The man was speechless for a moment. He was sure that Zhao Bei was an immortal cultivator, so how could he dare to threaten him?

Next to Zhao Bei, Tian Lin was still looking at the woman.

The woman looked a little pale, and she looked at the man on the ground with concern. Then she knelt on the ground and begged Tian Lin, "Please let my husband go. This matter has nothing to do with him."

In fact, when things got to this point, the woman's identity was self-evident.

But Tian Lin still looked at the woman stubbornly and asked softly: "Do you recognize Han Li?"

The woman said, "Brother Han is my husband."

Tian Lin didn't say anything. Zhao Bei said indignantly, "Since Brother Han is your husband, what does this thing under my feet mean?"

The woman was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say. Zhao Bei stepped on the man's face and glared at him, saying:
"How dare you, a thief, seduce a married woman?"

The man opened his mouth to speak, but only bit the mud.

The woman on the other side quickly knelt down and came to the man's side. She hugged Zhao Bei's feet and looked up at Zhao Bei and begged:

"Master, please let him go. He is Han Li's biological brother."

Zhao Bei was stunned for a moment, and then he was furious and said, "This kind of person who bullies his widowed sister-in-law and commits incest should not be allowed to stay."

The woman said, "It's none of his business. If I don't agree, how can I be his wife?"

Zhao Bei's sword didn't stab down in the end, because a child was running towards him from a distance.

Tian Lin and Zhao Bei's attention were attracted by the child who was running towards them. When they looked in the direction he was heading, the child stopped and was obviously frightened by the scene in front of him.

"Xiaoxiao, go to your brother's house and take shelter. Don't come out!"

The child looked towards the neighboring house and saw that Han Li's neighbor's door was closed at the moment, and there seemed to be a shadow flashing at the window.

Obviously, Han Li's neighbors didn't dare to get involved in trouble.

Just when the seven or eight-year-old child was at a loss, Tian Lin strode over.

This time, the woman no longer hugged Zhao Bei's legs, but stood up and rushed towards Tian Lin.

The man under Zhao Bei's feet also struggled and shouted, "You want to kill me, this has nothing to do with the child."

Tian Lin had already reached the child by this time. Looking at the child who was crying loudly out of fear, he turned his head and asked the woman, "Where is Brother Han's child?"

The woman pulled Tian Lin's hand less tightly, and her tears flowed down:

"Just a few years after he left, the child went out to wait for his father and broke into the Liu family's forbidden garden. The Liu family thought he was a poacher and beat him to death on the spot."

Tian Lin's face turned grim: "Which Liu family?"

"The Liu family in the village - but after the Blood Cult came, Deputy Hall Master Zhao tied up all the people in the Liu family and avenged everyone in our village."

When he called out "Deputy Hall Master Zhao", Zhao Bei and Tian Lin on the other side looked at each other.

Zhao Bei looked around, although no one in the village dared to approach to stop them.

But these villagers hiding in the dark and spying secretly might be the spies of the Blood Cultists.

"Brother, kill this pair of bastards, and let's leave immediately."

The woman also said, "Kill me now. I said I would wait for him to come back. But life is too hard and I can't stand it anymore.

I sent my mother-in-law and my own child away. I have waited for more than ten years and I can’t wait any longer—”

Zhao Bei said angrily, "Since it was the parents' order and the matchmaker's words, and he is not dead, how can you remarry without permission?"

"He has been away for more than ten years and there has been no news. Who knows whether he is dead or alive?"

This time it was the man under Zhao Bei who spoke.

As soon as he said this, Zhao Bei slapped him:

"How dare you talk like that? You are Brother Han's younger brother, yet you are eyeing your own sister-in-law. Have you ever thought about the day when your brother comes back and you have the nerve to see him?"

The man was slapped but still refused to give in. He argued, "He left his wife and children behind. He didn't want this family anymore. He should be the one who is too embarrassed to go home."

"enough!"

Tian Lin didn't want to listen to them arguing any further.

He glanced at the woman, then at the man under Zhao Bei's feet, and finally said to Zhao Bei: "Let's go."

Zhao Bei asked Tian Lin, "What do you think of this adulterous couple?"

"There's nothing much to say. I don't know how Brother Han would deal with this situation if he were still alive."

Tian Lin let go of the woman and turned to leave.

At this moment, the woman caught up with Tian Lin and asked him with tears in her eyes, "When did Han Li die?"

"He was killed by the Blood Cult on his way back. He was away from home and had been trying to contact you. For more than ten years, he had been sending you money and letters.

But from what you said, you have not received any money or letters from home."

Tian Lin said no more, stepped on the flying sword and flew into the air.

The two figures rose higher, and only a few horses were seen approaching from afar and rushing into Hanjia Bay.

There were people in red robes riding on those horses, who were obviously Blood Cultists. It was probably the villagers who notified them.

How could those Blood Cultists catch up with Tian Lin and the others since they didn't have flying swords? They all reined in their horses and watched Tian Lin and Zhao Bei go away.

"Since ancient times, most of the horse teams that deliver letters and money to families have been greedy. Why didn't Brother Han ask my Zhao family's horse team to deliver the letter?

Before the Blood Cult rebelled, my Zhao family's horse caravan was all over the world and had a first-class reputation. "

Tian Lin saw that Zhao Bei sounded quite proud, so it was not easy to tell him that Han Li had hired the Zhao family's horse gang to deliver the letter. "The past is over. There is no way to find out who delivered the letter and how they deceived Brother Han. The most important thing now is to go to Xiaguan Village to find Junior Sister Han."

Tian Lin suddenly accelerated, and when Zhao Bei caught up with Tian Lin, Tian Lin had already flown towards Xiaguan Village.

"Something's wrong!"

Zhao Bei followed Tian Lin to the ground and saw that the villagers were gathered in one place in the village. Most of them were wearing plain clothes and crying.

In front of where the villagers gathered, several people in Taoist robes were setting up an altar to pray.

When Tian Lin and Zhao Bei walked forward, the Taoist who was chanting behind the altar was still chanting, but he squinted his eyes and glanced at Tian Lin and Zhao Bei.

Because they walked in from outside the village, others could not guess that they were cultivators.

For a moment, the villagers thought that the two were strangers who had come from afar to see something strange. So they knelt on the ground and knelt devoutly in front of the statues on the altar, ignoring Tian Lin and Zhao Bei for a moment.

The villagers prayed devoutly, and the Taoist priest behind the altar suddenly opened his eyes wide and placed the Sanqing Bell in his hand on the table.

The Taoist priest then picked up a piece of talisman paper from the altar and lit it. He muttered something and said "Go to paradise". Then he threw the burnt talisman paper into the jar on the altar.

"Okay, drink the water in the jar and you will avoid being possessed by the ghost baby."

After the Taoist priest finished speaking, he looked at Tian Lin and Zhao Bei and said, "Are you two also here to look for Han Yue?"

Tian Lin was slightly surprised and asked the Taoist priest, "Besides the two of us, who else is looking for Han Yue?"

The Taoist said, "A few immortal masters came here a quarter of an hour ago."

"Among those immortal masters, is there a young man wearing black clothes?"

The Taoist nodded and said, "They went to Shangguan Village. Whether you are looking for them or Han Yue, it is not too late to go there now."

Tian Lin was in no hurry to leave, but instead bowed and asked, "Who is your master?"

The Taoist said frankly: "I am just a Huahualang, not a Qigong practitioner. I try to open an altar just to make a living."

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice sounded in the air:
"Master Xun, you are too polite. With your cultivation, you have countless disciples and grandchildren to worship you. Even if you leave the sect, as long as you tell others about your name, will you worry about no one inviting you to dinner?"

The sound came suddenly, and seemed to come from all directions at the same time.

Tian Lin pulled Zhao Bei back and hid under the eaves of a house.

The two men couldn't find who was talking in secret, so they had to look at the old Taoist behind the altar.

The old Taoist smiled and said, "Am I really as honorable as you say, Master Xue? Now that I have come to your place this year, I wonder if Master Xue would be willing to give me some honor and treat me to a meal."

"It's just a meal, what's the big deal? Sect Master Xun is a senior. Since he has come to the heartland of the Blood Sect, Xue En will naturally treat Sect Master Xun to a good meal."

After this voice finished speaking, the villagers in the village seemed as if their souls had been taken away. They stiffened their bodies and went to get bowls and dishes, move tables and get stools.

"go!"

Tian Lin grabbed Zhao Bei's shoulders and ran away in an instant.

He ran several hundred meters in one breath, and flew over several hills with his sword. If he hadn't been holding Zhao Bei in his hand, he would have wanted to run underground for a while.

"Brother, no one is chasing us."

Seeing that Tian Lin was extremely tired, Zhao Bei finally spoke.

Tian Lin pressed the flying sword and landed on a hilltop.

Zhao Bei looked at Tian Lin who was panting and couldn't help asking, "Is the old Taoist priest the leader of the Baisheng Sect?"

"Among the five immortal sects, only the leader of the Baisheng Sect has the surname Xun."

Zhao Bei then asked, "The person who just had a conversation with Sect Leader Xun was Sect Leader Xue from the Blood Sect?"

Tian Lin nodded, thought for a moment and said, "This Master Xue is not only the Master of the Blood Sect, but he was also a disciple of our Yaoyue Sect."

Zhao Bei let out an "ah" and couldn't help but question, "Who did you hear this from, Senior Brother?"

Tian Lin said: "That day I was at Baihua Peak asking the Peak Master about how to build the foundation - Elder Xiao mentioned Xue En to me, saying that he was a genius like my master."

In fact, Elder Xiao was praising Tian Lin at that time, saying that Tian Lin's talent was even better than Xue En and Liu Xuanfeng.

I am just repeating the original words now to avoid being suspected of boasting.

"He is a disciple of my Yaoyue Sect. How could he become the leader of the Blood Sect? And why have we never heard of this name?"

Tian Lin shook his head and said, "I wanted to ask the Peak Master at that time, but the Peak Master refused to say more. He only said that Xue En had been expelled from the sect."

Having said that, Tian Lin didn't want to say any more.

He looked at Zhao Bei and said, "I wonder what Sect Master Xun's plan is for coming to the heartland of the Blood Sect. Now that he is facing Xue En, it is better for us not to get involved in the affairs of these two foundation-building masters."

Zhao Bei nodded, and after Tian Lin rested for a while, the two of them flew towards Shangguan Village on their swords.

Sect Leader Xun took the initiative to talk to the two of them and pointed out where Han Yue was. It seemed that he wanted them to get rid of Han Yue.

Tian Lin didn't want to flatter Sect Leader Xun, but he came here just for Han Yue, so how could he delay again and again?

When the two arrived at Shangguan Village, they did not see anyone in mourning. Shangguan Village seemed particularly peaceful at this time.

Zhao Bei suddenly pulled Tian Lin's clothes and pointed to the tea shop outside the village.

Tian Lin looked in the direction he was looking and saw Qu Butong standing next to the tea shop, standing out in all black.

In addition to Qu Butong, there were several disciples of Qi Sect sitting next to Qu Butong, and they all saw the appearance of Tian Lin and Zhao Bei.

Tian Lin didn't want to hide in the dark, now that the two sides met, he walked up with Zhao Bei openly.

Qu Butong, who was sitting over there, glanced at Tian Lin and said to the tea master, "Two more cups of tea, please treat my two friends to a drink."

While Dr. Tea was making tea, the waiter brought a stool and asked Tian Lin and Zhao Bei to sit down.

Tian Lin bowed to Qu Butong, then sat down opposite Qu Butong and asked him, "Brother, didn't you go back to the county to see Junior Sister Qiu?"

Before Qu Butong could say anything, the disciple of the Weapon Sect beside him stood up and said, "You were there when we fought Zhao Kang that night."

Seeing his questioning look, Tian Lin asked, "Is this junior brother blaming me for standing by and watching?"

The disciple wanted to speak more, but Qu Butong waved his hand to let the disciple leave, and then he bowed to Tian Lin:

"That day, thanks to Junior Brother Tian who set the forest fire, even if we were able to escape from the encirclement of the Blood Cultists, we would probably have lost several lives."

After saying this, he said to Tian Lin, "When we were escaping that day, Junior Brother Zhou was injured. Now Qiu Ling has taken Junior Brother Zhou back to the sect to heal, so he did not come to Shangguan Village with us."

"It's great that Junior Sister Qiu and Senior Brother Zhou are safe and sound."

Tian Lin's words were sincere and heartfelt, and Qu Butong on the opposite side nodded.

At this time, the tea master served the tea. Tian Lin held the cup but was not in a hurry to drink. Instead, he asked Qu Butong:

"Brother Qu also came to Shangguan Village under the guidance of Sect Master Xun, right? I just don't know when Junior Sister Han will be able to come."

After hearing this, Qu Butong's expression suddenly became serious, and he asked Tian Lin, "Junior Brother Tian, ​​are you here to stop me from killing Han Yue?"
