Chapter 542: Chapter 542 - 223: The Little Girl's Background _2

After the bald man left, the crowd of onlookers dispersed.

Soon after,

the Fang Market supervisor turned his gaze toward Lin Jing and the other two, especially when sweeping over Lin Jue and Ye Yun, his gaze lingered on them for quite a while…

It was at this moment that Ye Yun suddenly spoke up and said to the supervisor:

“Uncle Lian…”

“It’s me, Ye Yun.”

Upon hearing Ye Yun’s words, the supervisor, who was addressed as Uncle Lian by Ye Yun, was immediately startled, then looked at Ye Yun with disbelief and sized him up for a good while.

Only after sizing him up did the supervisor speak:

“I thought you looked familiar, but I didn’t dare to confirm, I didn’t expect it to really be you…”

After speaking, Uncle Lian then turned to Lin Jue beside him and sized her up carefully as well:

“Since you are little Yun, then you must definitely be Lin Jue…”

Lin Jue nodded at Uncle Lian and said:

“Uncle Lian, it’s me…”

“We haven’t seen each other for so long, Uncle Lian, have you been transferred back to become the supervisor of the Fang Market?”

Uncle Lian nodded and said:

“Yes…”

“I remember when I was transferred away from Bihai Island, both of you were still young. Back then, Lin Jue’s grandfather and little Yun’s uncle were still around…”

“But coming back this time, the two of them are no longer here…”

At this point, Uncle Lian couldn’t help but feel a pang of nostalgia, his face showing a look of reminiscence…

Both Ye Yun and Lin Jue were also reminded of their own relatives, and couldn’t help feeling a bit sad…@@novelbin@@

Seeing both Ye Yun and Lin Jue’s faces, Uncle Lian also began to feel sentimental and directly spoke up to break the sad atmosphere:

“Let’s not talk about that…”

After speaking, Uncle Lian looked at Ye Yun, sized him up carefully once again, and then somewhat surprised, he asked:

“Ye Yun, what is your current cultivation level? I can’t quite see through you.”

Ye Yun did not hide anything and directly said:

“Uncle Lian, I am now at the eighth layer of the Golden Core Stage.”

He then pointed to Lin Jue beside him and said:

“Lin Jue also has reached the sixth layer of the Golden Core Stage.”

It seemed that Ye Yun trusted Uncle Lian quite a bit.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Lian was utterly shocked, and after a moment, he came to his senses, looked at Ye Yun in disbelief, then turned his head to look at Lin Jue before saying:

“The two of you, you have truly shocked me.”

“To have both reached the Golden Core Stage at the same time…”

“Especially you, Ye Yun, you have already surpassed me.”

And this ‘Uncle Lian’, Lin Jing could see at a glance that his current cultivation level was at the seventh layer of the Golden Core Stage.

One minor realm lower than Ye Yun.

“With both your Spiritual Root qualifications, to have cultivated to such levels, you must have had some extraordinary experiences…”

Ye Yun nodded, then went to Lin Jing’s side and introduced him to ‘Uncle Lian’, saying:

“Uncle Lian, let me introduce you…”

“This is Lin Jue’s brother, and also my master…”

‘Uncle Lian’ looked at Lin Jing, somewhat puzzled.

Because Lin Jing appeared to have a cultivation level of only the initial stage of the Golden Core, which was much lower than Ye Yun’s.

Ye Yun, seeing Uncle Lian’s confusion, quickly leaned in and said softly:

“My master is a Nascent Soul Cultivator, but to avoid trouble, he has concealed his true cultivation level.”

After hearing this, ‘Uncle Lian’ was immediately taken aback, never expecting that the unassuming Lin Jing was actually a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Then, Uncle Lian quickly clasped his hands together and said to Lin Jing:

“So it turns out you are a senior at the Nascent Soul Stage…

“My rudeness, I hope the senior will forgive me…”

Lin Jing then spoke:

“You’re too courteous, fellow Daoist, there’s no need for such formalities…”

Then Ye Yun continued to say to Lin Jing:

“This is Uncle Lian, who used to be a guard of the Fang Market, and he was very close to both my uncle and Lin Jue’s grandfather.”

“It’s just that Uncle Lian was transferred away from Bihai Island when we were very young, to another place.”

“It was not until today that we met again.”

At this point, Uncle Lian spoke up as well:

“I only came back two years ago…”

“Originally, after returning, I wanted to look for you guys, but ended up learning about the downfall of your uncle and others, and I couldn’t find any traces of you two…”

“Who would have thought that today, by such a coincidence, we would meet, and now seeing that you both are all right, I can rest assured.”

Having said that, Uncle Lian once again asked Ye Yun:

“How did you two get into a conflict with people from the Moon Demon Sect?”

“Uncle Lian, here’s what happened…” Lin Jue then began to recount the incident that had just occurred.

Soon after Lin Jue finished speaking, Uncle Lian looked at the little girl and couldn’t help but sigh:

“Ah…”

“The Moon Demon Sect is not to be trifled with, and now that you’ve clashed with them, you must be very careful.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Jing’s brows inevitably furrowed:

“What’s the background of the Moon Demon Sect, are they very powerful?”

Uncle Lian nodded and said to Lin Jing:

“The Moon Demon Sect only rose after the annihilation of the Black Shark Gang. It is said that their Sect Hierarch is a Demon Cultivator from the Northern Devil Region, with the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Peak Stage.”

“When it really comes down to it, compared to some other forces, the Moon Demon Sect doesn’t actually count as very strong.”

“But it’s that Sect Hierarch of the Moon Demon Sect…”

At this point, Uncle Lian’s own brows furrowed even more.

“Uncle Lian, what about the Moon Demon Sect Leader?” Lin Jue asked.

Uncle Lian continued:

“The leader of the Moon Demon Sect is extremely sly and vindictive, punishing anyone who crosses the sect with relentless retaliation.”

“And…”

“He never acts according to common sense. As a Nascent Soul Cultivator, when facing enemies, he never engages in an upfront battle but always uses surprise attacks and other despicable schemes.”

“This manner of fighting causes headaches for other powers…”

“Moreover, he possesses an extremely powerful Magical Treasure, so even when facing Divine Transformation Cultivators stronger than himself, he can escape unharmed with the help of this treasure.”

“It is precisely because he is so difficult to deal with that many powers choose to keep the Moon Demon Sect at arm’s length.”

“And then there is that little girl…” as Uncle Lian spoke, he looked toward the little girl at the stall.

“They were forced by the Moon Demon Sect to take refuge in Bihai City.”

“But I suppose they won’t be able to hide for much longer.”

“That little girl’s father was ambushed by the Moon Demon Sect, severely wounded, and has needed to continuously consume Elixir Medicines. It’s been said to have been several years already; probably he won’t hold out much longer.”

“When her father dies, I fear the little girl’s situation will become even more difficult to endure…”

“So that’s how it is…”

“She is truly pitiful.”

After hearing this, Lin Jue looked at the little girl and said with sympathy.

“Doesn’t she have any other family members?”

Uncle Lian then spoke up:

“Yes…”

“She has an uncle, I remember he should be called Yan Xiong, a burly man, who has been constantly traveling far and wide to find a cure for her father’s condition.”

“It’s just that, I’ve made inquiries, and her father was injured by the Moon Demon Sect Leader, and the cure is only in the Sect Leader’s possession…”

“That uncle of hers is only at the early stage of the Golden Core, wanting to find the cure is probably just wishful thinking…”

Upon hearing about Yan Xiong, Lin Jing was suddenly startled and hastily questioned ‘Uncle Lian’:

“What is the name of this little girl’s father, do you know?”

Uncle Lian nodded, then replied:

“This little girl often sets up a stall in the Fang Market, of course, I would take notice, this is definitely something I know.”

“Her father is called Wei Zhengqing…”
