Chapter 272 – Myriad Swords Returning to me——


    After listening to Elder Lin, Meng Fan roughly understood the situation.


    For Yang Yuqi, with her father Yang Tianxu dead, she had no backing in the Great Dragon Empire.


    If she didn''t marry the third prince of the Great Wind Empire, she would offend both the Great Dragon Empire and the Great Wind Empire.


    In such a scenario, aside from the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, no one could protect her!


    Of course, she was also betting on Elder Lin''s friendship with her father.


    If Elder Lin was unwilling to help her, she would have no choice but to accept her fate.


    Fortunately, she bet correctly!


    Given Elder Lin''s friendship with Yang Tianxu, he was willing to take care of Yang Tianxu''s daughter.


    Most importantly, Elder Lin was not afraid of either the Great Dragon Empire or the Great Wind Empire.


    Although the Shu Mountain Sword Sect was just a sect, no empire''s cavalry dared to invade Shu Mountain.


    Even if the three great empires joined forces with a million troops, they couldn''t flatten the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.


    And if the Shu Mountain Sword Sect went all out, they had the power to destroy an empire.


    This was the foundation of Shu Mountain!


    "Master, how do you plan to arrange for Yang Yuqi? We can''t keep her in the Sword Pavilion, can we? After all, the Sword Pavilion is full of men, and it''s inconvenient for a woman to stay here," Meng Fan asked.


    Elder Lin glanced at Meng Fan and said coldly, "I originally planned to keep her in the Sword Pavilion, but after seeing you, I changed my mind."


    "Why is that?" Meng Fan was a bit puzzled.


    "Why? Of course, it''s because I''m afraid you''ll bully her!"


    ***


    Yang Yuqi was placed under a female elder with the surname Li and officially became a disciple of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.


    However, her days were not easy after becoming a disciple because she had provoked many Shu Mountain disciples during her last visit.


    Not everyone could repay evil with good!


    It is worth mentioning that in the two days since Yang Yuqi arrived at the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, although Elder Lin placed her under Elder Li, she came to the Sword Pavilion every day.


    Meng Fan didn''t know if it was his imagination, but he felt that Yang Yuqi was trying to get close to him, as if she had some ulterior motive!


    Of course, from beginning to end, Meng Fan never gave her a good face.


    ***


    Then Meng Fan spent another thousand Spirit Stones to comprehend the Sword God Stele for a day and a night, leaving him with only five thousand Spirit Stones.@@@@


    This time, as Meng Fan expected.


    Then the Sect Master was truly a complicated person.


    Abandoning his wife and children, not just once.


    He hoped he was wrong!


    "What''s wrong?" Elder Lin asked, seeing Meng Fan''s strange expression.


    Meng Fan thought for a moment and then made up an excuse, "Uh, I suddenly had a toothache."


    Toothache?


    Elder Lin looked at Meng Fan inexplicably. At this realm, could one still have a toothache?


    But he didn''t delve into the matter, only reminding Meng Fan to prepare well and set off tomorrow.


    Meng Fan returned to his room on the first floor of the Sword Pavilion, still thinking about the relationship between Ye Qinxin and the Sect Master.


    Although he hoped he was wrong, whether he was or not, the image of the Sect Master as a scumbag was already deeply rooted in his mind.


    "Senior Disciple Jin is actually quite pitiful," Meng Fan muttered softly and then began to cultivate.


    Originally, he had planned to break through to the ninth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm before the duel.


    But now it seemed he had overestimated himself.


    He was still at the eighth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm, just a tiny bit away from the ninth level.


    "I should have spent some Spirit Stones to let the old monk develop some spirituality and then borrowed the power in the relic. By now, I should have reached the Condensation Pill Realm," Meng Fan murmured.


    But it was just a casual remark, not genuine regret.


    After all, he was going down the mountain with Elder Lin this time, so whether he broke through or not didn''t matter.


    With Elder Lin around, could there be any danger?


    If there really was danger, even breaking through to the Condensation Pill Realm wouldn''t help.


    As for Ye Qinxin, Meng Fan believed that even at the eighth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm, he could still easily defeat her!


    ***


    Early the next morning, Meng Fan went to say goodbye to Liu Yanping, temporarily halting his teaching as he had to go down the mountain.


    Then he went to check on Li Xuerou, who was still in seclusion, oblivious to the outside world.


    Returning to the Sword Pavilion, Meng Fan instructed Shu Changsheng to cultivate diligently in the Sword Pavilion.


    Finally, it was Wu Tian''s turn.


    Meng Fan looked coldly at Wu Tian and said sternly, "While Master and I are away from the Sword Pavilion, if I find out you bullied Changsheng, I will break your legs.


    No, I won''t have to. Master will break your legs, all three of them!"


    Wu Tian pursed his lips and said irritably, "I, Wu Tian, am a man who stands tall. How could I bully a child? Even if I did, I would take a disciple and have my disciple do the bullying!"
