Upon hearing this, Li Feng’s face was instantly filled with anger, while Li Jianlong still had an undiminished smile on his face, completely indifferent to Fang Lin’s mockery.

“Heh, I hope you can always be so arrogant,” Li Jianlong said with a smile. He nodded respectfully to Elder Su and left with Li Feng.

Fang Lin’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. This Li Jianlong didn’t seem like a pushover, he had to be careful in the future.

Elder Su glanced at the departing Li family pair and said to Fang Lin, “They will also participate in the Pill Refiner’s meeting in two months, try not to have any conflicts with them.”

Fang Lin responded with a bitter smile, “Elder Su, as you saw, it’s not that I’m looking for trouble with them, but they always intentionally cause me problems. What can I do?”

Elder Su chuckled, who made you provoke the Li family? Now the whole family, from old to young, are thinking about how to deal with you, who else can you blame?

“Elder Su, my master is still waiting for me in the Imperial City, so I will take my leave,” Fang Lin said to Elder Su.

Elder Su nodded and patted Fang Lin’s shoulder.

Before leaving the Pill Alliance, Fang Lin also gave the Zhong siblings a few words of advice, telling them to behave well in the alliance and cultivate their abilities.

Fang Lin also gave them a token that they could use to contact him if something happened.

After that, Fang Lin left the Pill Alliance and returned to the Imperial City.

Since it was already late, the master and disciple stayed for one more night. Early the next morning, they were escorted out of the Qian Capital City Gate by Yang Jianye and other royal family members.

Having Han Luoyun along for the journey, Fang Lin had nothing to worry about, and they safely returned to the Purple Mist Sect.

Fang Lin had benefited quite a lot from this trip, though he also had quite a few experiences and almost lost his life.

As soon as they got back to the Purple Mist Sect, Han Yinyue came over with Han Xiaoxing.

It turned out that Han Xiaoxing’s sight was gradually coming back, and she was no longer completely blind as before.

This time they came to have Fang Lin check on Han Xiaoxing’s condition and see how much her sight had recovered.

Fang Lin had Han Xiaoxing sit down on a stone bench and immediately started the examination without any rest.

He used the same method as before, sending a very weak stream of inner strength into Han Xiaoxing’s body.

Han Xiaoxing didn’t react until Fang Lin increased the amount of inner strength, then she felt a little pain.

Fang Lin withdrew his inner strength and smiled, “Your recovery is going well. Although you are not yet at normal level, consuming pills for about half a month should prepare you for the next step of treatment.”

Upon hearing this, Han Yinyue let out a sigh of relief, her face filled with excitement.

Even though Han Xiaoxing was usually cold and calm, her slightly clenched fists still betrayed her inner unrest.

“By the way, Fang Lin, I heard that you fought with Yang Xuanfeng in the Imperial City?” Han Yinyue suddenly asked.

Han Xiaoxing also became noticeably attentive when she heard this question, even though her eyes were lifeless, it was clear that she was waiting for Fang Lin’s answer.

Fang Lin nodded and said, “We just fought a little, I only managed to last for fifteen moves. If I continued, I would not have been able to hold up.”

What Fang Lin spoke was the truth, although he still had some tricks up his sleeve, those tricks were absolute secrets, and since he and Yang Xuanfeng were not enemies but merely practicing together, there was no need to use them.

In terms of actual strength, Yang Xuanfeng was much stronger than Fang Lin.

“You held on for fifteen moves?” Han Xiaoxing unexpectedly interjected with a tone full of doubt and disapproval.

Fang Lin was instantly displeased, ‘What kind of attitude is that? How am I not capable of lasting fifteen moves? Are you looking down on me?’

Fang Lin snorted, “It’s a fact. If you don’t believe it, you can ask your father.”

Han Xiaoxing also snorted softly but didn’t say anything else.

Han Yinyue’s eyebrows furrowed as she asked, “So, what do you think of Yang Xuanfeng’s strength?”

Fang Lin pondered for a moment, “I can’t say for certain. When he fought with me, he definitely wasn’t using even half of his strength. I believe if he was serious, I could probably only last ten moves.”

These words were not spoken out of false modesty. Indeed, Fang Lin could see that Yang Xuanfeng had been quite considerate when they were sparring.

If Fang Lin were Yang Xuanfeng’s enemy, he would probably be defeated in less than ten moves.

Upon hearing these words, Han Yinyue looked at Han Xiaoxing and then at Fang Lin, and suddenly said, “You should have a go with Xiaoxing, let’s see if Yang Xuanfeng is stronger or Xiaoxing.”

Fang Lin immediately pulled a long face. ‘What is going on with you people? Have you all taken me for a tool for comparing strengths?’

Fang Lin shook his head in refusal. He did not want to get a gratuitous beating from Han Xiaoxing.

Upon seeing Fang Lin’s refusal, Han Yinyue didn’t say anything else.

“I can defeat Yang Xuanfeng,” Han Xiaoxing said calmly.

Fang Lin glanced sideways at her. Although he knew that Han Xiaoxing couldn’t see his expression, he couldn’t help but let it show.

“Miss Second, stop bragging. Even Yang Xuanfeng said that he was holding back when he fought with you,” Fang Lin retorted with a smirk.

Han Xiaoxing showed no expression, “He was holding back, and so was I.”

Han Yinyue also chuckled, “Fang Lin, don’t underestimate Xiaoxing just because she’s blind. If you saw her true strength, you would definitely be flabbergasted.”

Fang Lin didn’t say anything in response. How strong Han Xiaoxing was had nothing to do with him. He was only tasked to cure Han Xiaoxing’s eyes, and to show up at the Tri-nation Competition. That would be enough.

“Here is a bottle of pills. When you finish it in about half a month, come find me again.” Fang Lin took out a bottle of pills and handed it to Han Yinyue.

After expressing her thanks, Han Yinyue left with Han Xiaoxing.

After closing the courtyard door, Fang Lin patted the beast bag, and a golden beast jumped onto his shoulder.

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!

As soon as the golden beast came out, it screamed at Fang Lin with its eyes full of anger. It seemed to be dissatisfied with being kept in the beast bag for so long.

“Jin, do you know what you really are?” Fang Lin put it on his stomach and asked with a smile.

The golden beast rolled its eyes at Fang Lin in disdain, as if it was saying ‘you are the one who’s something; your whole family are all something.’

The more Fang Lin looked at it, the more he marveled at it. He had never seen this little guy in his previous life and had no idea what it was. Yet it had the power to put demon beasts to sleep.

Back in the Imperial Beast Garden, thanks to this golden beast, the Steel-backed Bear was put to sleep. This allowed him and Yang Pojun to get out safely.

The golden beast stood up on Fang Lin’s stomach with its two little legs, sniffed around, then turned into a golden light and darted directly into the medicinal field not far away.
