Gu Daofeng felt exasperated by Fang Lin’s words, making his face extremely unpleasant, but he couldn’t vent his anger at Fang Lin.

Even if Gu Daofeng wanted to suppress Fang Lin, Fang Lin was still his disciple in the Pill Sect. If he did not protect his own people in front of outsiders, then he, as the sect leader, would indeed be quite unreasonable.

Moreover, previously Han Yinyue had a conversation with Gu Daofeng.

Although Han Yinyue didn’t make herself very clear, Gu Daofeng could tell that Han Yinyue hoped Gu Daofeng would not harass Fang Lin without reason.

Therefore, at this moment, even if Gu Daofeng was irked by Fang Lin, he could not blame Fang Lin at all.

“Chief Gu, this Fang Lin injured my nephew, don’t you owe me an explanation?” The middle-aged man said coldly.

Gu Daofeng dropped his smile and said indifferently: “That’s not entirely true. If your nephew hadn’t barged in here and attacked Fang Lin without knowing the full story, he wouldn’t have been hurt. He was simply not as skilled as Fang

Lin. How can you blame that on Fang Lin?”

Hearing this, Fang Lin smirked, it seems Gu Daofeng finally said something reasonable.

The middle-aged man glared angrily at Gu Daofeng, who didn’t even spare him a glance, and acted as if nothing had happened.

“Uncle Six, please say less.” Dugu Nian complained from the side.

Dugu Nian’s Uncle Six was speechless. Aren’t you part of our Dugu Family? How is it that you’ve started leaning towards outsiders after such a short period of time?

“Since my cousin is not skilled enough, I won’t say anything about it. However, I do want to witness your skills. What do you think?” The serious-natured youth who hadn’t spoken all this while spoke up, staring at Fang Lin with intimidation.

Fang Lin was startled, this youth seemed very unusual and he seemed to be a lot stronger than Dugu Yuan.

Dugu Nian also got anxious and argued: “Isn’t that just bullying? You have already been in the Earth Element realm for two years, Fang Lin has only just become an Earth Element martial artist, how could he possibly be your match?”

Fang Lin looked at Dugu Nian. This girl was arguing for him. Could it be that she was interested in him?

Thinking about this, Fang Lin felt that it was possible. After all, he was excellent in many ways, and Dugu Nian and he were already acquainted through their conflict. Love at first sight was entirely possible.

“Nian’er, could it be that Fang Lin has bewitched you? Why do you keep defending him?” The middle-aged man seemed quite unhappy.

Dugu Nian humphed: “Although I really dislike this guy, he did teach me Shaking Three Mountains and thus is sort of like my teacher. How can I watch you guys bully him?”

Fang Lin laughed. He didn’t expect this girl to have principles. It seems that teaching her Shaking Three Mountains wasn’t a waste after all.

The middle-aged man hearing this was surprised, then became suspicious of Fang Lin: “He knows the ancient alchemy skill, Shaking Three Mountains? How is that possible?”

Dugu Nian said impatiently: “There’s nothing impossible about it. I’ve seen it with my own eyes.”

The middle-aged man nodded, realizing what Dugu Nian said must be true. But it was hard to believe that the ancient skill of Shaking Three Mountains had ended up in the hands of a young man.

“So, did you learn it?” The middle-aged man asked again.

Dugu Nian was a bit awkward: “I’ve only been learning for half a month, I haven’t completely grasped it yet.”

Fang Lin glanced at her but chose not to reveal her lie: Hadn’t completely grasped it yet? She had not even reached beginner’s level yet.

However, Dugu Nian saying this brought some relief to the middle-aged man, reducing his hostility towards Fang Lin a bit.

The serious-natured youth, however, continued glaring at Fang Lin with hostility, clearly wanting to challenge Fang Lin.

“Feng’er, don’t be rude.” The middle-aged man said, making the serious-looking youth retreat silently, but his face showed a hint of unwillingness.

Fang Lin sighed in relief. If this guy insisted on challenging him, should he fight or not?

He probably wouldn’t be able to win.

But if he didn’t fight, he’d look like a coward.

Fortunately, a fight did not ensue, or it would have indeed been very awkward for Fang Lin.

“Fang Lin, my nephew was the one at fault here. But you did injure him, so let’s call it quits.” The middle-aged man said reluctantly.

Fang Lin just curled his lips, not saying anything.

The middle-aged man turned to Dugu Nian: “Nian’er, you’ve been outside long enough, come home with me.”

When Fang Lin heard this, he couldn’t help but look forward to it. Finally, this annoying girl was going to leave.

But to his surprise, Dugu Nian shook her head: “Uncle Six, I can’t go home yet. I’ll go back after I’ve fully learned Shaking Three Mountains.”

Fang Lin couldn’t resist saying: “Actually, you’re pretty much there. You can practice more at home, there’s no need to stick around here.”

Upon hearing this, Dugu Nian gave Fang Lin a glance and said, “So you’re eager to get rid of me? Don’t worry, once I’ve fully mastered Shaking Three Mountains, I won’t bother you anymore. But until then, there’s no way you’re getting rid of me!”

Everyone who was around chuckled. Fang Lin’s face was bitter as he realized that this girl was really sticking to him.

The middle-aged man was also helpless. His purpose for coming out this time was to bring Dugu Nian back home. But with her determination, he couldn’t just force her, she would have to do it on her own.

“If that’s the case, then take care of yourself, Nian’er. If anyone bullies you, let the family Imow. Uncle Six will come to you right away.” The middle-aged man said, handing over a jade slip to Dugu Nian.

Dugu Nian took it, waved her hand in acknowledgment, letting him know she understood.

The middle-aged man looked at Fang Lin and warned: “Fang Lin, if I find out you’ve done anything inappropriate to Nian’er, you’ll taste the most painful lesson in the world!”

Threatening me?

Fang Lin rolled his eyes, replying casually: “I’m more concerned about this girl doing something inappropriate to me.”

Everyone was speechless. The middle-aged man looked sullen. After exchanging a few more words with Gu Daofeng, he rushed out with the serious-natured youth and Dugu Yuan.

Gu Daofeng didn’t stay longer with Fang Lin and led the three from the Dugu Family out of the mountain gate.

Now only Dugu Nian and Fang Lin were left in the courtyard. For some reason, Fang Lin wasn’t as irritated by this girl as before.

“Hey, I helped you out this time. If it wasn’t for me, Uncle Six would’ve definitely given you a good beating.” Dugu Nian said smugly.

Fang Lin looked at her strangely: “Are you defending me because you like me?”

Dugu Nian was stunned for a moment. Afterwards, she gave Fang Lin a dumbfounded look and did not speak, just staring blankly at him.

Fang Lin felt uncomfortable under her gaze, he laughed awkwardly: “Just pretend I didn’t say anything.”

Three days later, Han Yinyue came and brought everything needed for refining the Ice Dew Pill, including a high-quality Pill Furnace..
