Lu Lin subsequently looked for several disciples, but failed to find any information about the Sect Leader’s residence.

Such matters, although not considered secretive, are not widely circulated.

Lu Lin was left with no choice but to find an Elder to search his soul.

As a result, upon learning that the location of Yishan Bieyuan is just outside Jingzhou Mansion, Lu Lin was completely stunned.

Yesterday, he was so close to Sun Xiaorui, yet because he didn’t inquire in advance, they ended up missing each other.

Since that’s the case, let’s head to Jingzhou Mansion again.

Half a day later, Lu Lin arrived outside Yishan Bieyuan on a cloud-soaring flying boat.

He didn’t enter the residence immediately.

Because there were a lot of spies outside the residence.

These spies were arranged by Xiang Ruojun specifically to monitor Sun Xiaorui.

Or rather, these people were here to protect Sun Xiaorui.

The abilities of these people may not match the Flame Dragon Guards, but within the Xi Chu Empire, they are considered elite.

Each has the ability of a Star Lord top-level.

Besides these spies, Lu Lin also found two powerful Martial Artists, one at Star King Peak and one at Star Emperor early-stage.

The Star Emperor early-stage one had a pale, thin face and was the chief eunuch by Chu Emperor Xiang Chu’s side.

This issue with Xiang Ruojun was significant for the entire Xi Chu royal family, so Xiang Chu, naturally, had to be vigilant to avoid any accidents.

Even though Li Xiaoci had already told Lu Wanshi in the morning that Sun Xiaorui’s will was shaken.

But it’s just shaken, not a complete agreement.

The surveillance outside the residence is significant, but relatively small inside.

Sect Master Li Xiaoci, Sun Xiaorui, and several servants tasked with attending.

Luckily, Lu Lin scouted around, or else entering hastily and revealing his presence, even with powerful strength, would lead to an inevitable siege.

Lu Lin had no good way to conceal his presence; trying to secretly take Sun Xiaorui away would be inconvenient.

The only way was to first deal with the chief eunuch of the palace.

As for the other Star King Peak one and the Wild Blade Sect Master, they are not so important.

After considering it quietly, Lu Lin chose the most prudent method.

Hypnosis.

The secret skill he had just learned from Xiang Ruofeng proved to be much more intense and quick compared to the hypnosis effect in the Lingtian Secret Skill.

Lu Lin’s Spiritual Strength was sufficiently powerful, so he released his Spiritual Strength, hypnotizing the chief eunuch and the Star King first.

The two were just talking, but suddenly they leaned back in their chairs without any warning, falling into a deep sleep.

Using the same method, Lu Lin hypnotized all those spies and bodyguards outside the residence as well.

Now, no one could obstruct his actions. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Lu Lin pushed open the main gate, and upon hearing the sound, Li Xiaoci hurriedly ran out, "Lord Lu, you..."

Seeing Lu Lin’s figure, Li Xiaoci’s Telepathic expression faltered, "Who are you."

"Take a guess!"

Lu Lin softly uttered, then cast the hypnosis technique, causing Li Xiaoci to lie on the ground.

Thud.

Li Xiaoci was utterly unable to resist Lu Lin’s hypnosis.

Lu Lin recognized the direction and arrived at Sun Xiaorui’s door.

"Knock, knock."

"Master, I told you, let me consider it further, as this concerns a lifelong matter."

Lu Lin was about to speak, but upon hearing Sun Xiaorui say this, he paused and silently stood at the door.

A matter concerning Sun Xiaorui’s lifelong future?

Is it cultivation?

Treasure?

Or is it...

Lu Lin remained silent, but inside Sun Xiaorui continued on.

"Master, of course, I have deep feelings for the Wild Blade Clan. I’ve fought and battled for the Sect abroad for decades to achieve the current prestige of our Wild Blade Clan."

"But, what you said is too sudden for me."

"My cultivation journey is still long, and now is not the time to consider a major marriage proposition."

"For the Sect, the kindness offered to me over the years is vast, so I’d feel unbearable to see the Sect besieged by a grand army."

"But, Master, can’t you give me some time?"

These words stirred up a great wave in Lu Lin’s heart.

What!

Sun Xiaorui is actually considering a marriage proposition.

When did that happen?

Could it be, could it be all orchestrated by Li Xiaoci.

Lu Lin felt bitter anger in his heart.

Sun Xiaorui paused for a moment, her emotions simmered down significantly.

"Master, go back first, I’ll give you an answer to this matter soon."

Sun Xiaorui shared her thoughts, feeling relaxed, as if she were letting go of a heavy burden.

"Give me another day, tomorrow at dawn, I’ll let you know my answer."

Lu Lin stood there.

His mind was blank.

He wanted to leave, but his legs wouldn’t move.

He wanted to speak, but didn’t know what to say.

He had rushed over from General Mountain, taking half a month’s time, hoping to surprise Sun Xiaorui.

But the result turned out like this.

Although Sun Xiaorui did not explicitly say, Lu Lin knew she had already given up.

No matter what means Li Xiaoci used before.

Overall, now Sun Xiaorui had already given up.

After contemplating for a long time, Lu Lin sighed deeply, and walked away slowly.

Inside the room, listening to Lu Lin’s footsteps gradually fade away, Sun Xiaorui’s face was covered in tears.

She.

From start to finish.

Could see outside.

She.

Naturally knew.

The one outside wasn’t Li Xiaoci.

It’s just.

She just resented.

Why couldn’t Lu Lin come sooner.

Why couldn’t he come sooner.
