C375 A Rope
"Argh!"
While the young man was screaming in panic, Chu Yun lifted him up with one hand and landed on the ground.
When his feet touched the ground, the youth gasped for breath and came back to his senses. He looked at Chu Yun, who was still in a state of shock. He took a deep breath, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"I'm fine now. "
Chu Yun smiled faintly and patted the dirt on the young man's shoulder. He said, "Be careful next time, little guy. "
After saying that, Chu Yun turned around and was about to leave.
. . . "Please wait a moment. "
At this moment, the young man took a deep breath and suddenly opened his mouth to call out to Chu Yun.
Chu Yun slowly turned around. His tone was calm. "If you want to thank me, there is no need for that. It was just a small effort. "
The young man's face was gloomy and his lips were tightly pursed. Despite his young age, his eyes revealed an ancient feeling that did not match his age. He put the rope tied around his waist and the broken part of the rope in front of Chu Yun and said, "Sir, if you leave now, I am afraid that I will still die in a few days. "
"Oh?"
Chu Yun raised his eyebrows, and his gaze fell on the broken part of the rope, and his brows quickly furrowed.
That was because the rope was not naturally broken. Half of it was broken, while the other half was relatively smooth. Clearly, it was cut open by a sharp weapon. There was also a solidified gelatinous object at the fracture. Clearly, it was cut in half and then stuck again after being deliberately processed.
"You knew this rope would break?"
Chu Yun asked.
"I don't know. . . "
The young man took a deep breath and shook his head. "If I knew, I wouldn't have risked my own life. However, the rope used to pick herbs is related to human lives. It needs to be inspected before it happens. Now that it's broken, I don't need to look to know. Someone must have wanted to harm my life and bribed the entire Servant Division. . . "
When Chu Yun heard this, his face revealed a trace of interest, and he said, "Then, why did you stop me? What do you want to do? Do you want me to continue protecting you? "
. . . "Yes. "
The young man pursed his lips and said with difficulty: "Sir has already saved me once. Now I have such a request, it is no different from asking for an inch more. If Sir is unwilling, Lin Xuan will understand. "
At this moment, on the mountain wall of Yao Ya, dozens of gazes were looking over in shock. Just now, that young man, Lin Xuan, had fallen from the cliff, but in the end, he was rescued by someone. This matter had undoubtedly attracted the attention of many people.
Chu Yun smiled and did not say whether he would agree or not. He placed a hand on the young man's shoulder and said, "There are many people here. Let's go to a quiet place and talk. "
After saying that, Chu Yun pulled the young man to a mountain peak outside the Medicine Cliff. After arriving at the place and putting the young man down, Chu Yun said with a faint smile, "Tell me, who are you and who wants to kill you?"
“. . . ”
The young man took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. "Replying to mister, I, Lin Xuan. . . "
It turned out that this young man called Lin Xuan was an in-name disciple of the Elemental Dao Spiritual Heaven Sect.
In the Elemental Dao Spiritual Heaven Sect, disciples were divided into five levels. From high to low, they were the true disciples. Inner disciples, outer disciples, nominal disciples, and service disciples.
Core disciples, inner disciples, and outer disciples were all official disciples, while nominal disciples and service disciples were outside the reserve.
Then. . .
How was it possible to tell if an underInitial Stage disciple was a nominal disciple or a service disciple?
It was very simple. Those who had money were in-name disciples, and those who had no money were janitor disciples.
In the outside world, if a wealthy family wanted to send their child into the Elemental Dao Spiritual Heaven Sect to cultivate, they could choose to donate or not after fulfilling the requirements of their aptitude. If they donated a certain amount of money, their child could obtain the identity of an in-name disciple and join the outer court of the Elemental Dao Spiritual Heaven Sect to cultivate.
As for a family without money, they would send a child to the Elemental Dao Spiritual Heaven Sect for cultivation because they were unable to provide any donations. After the child entered the Sect, he would be assigned to the Servant Division as a servant to obtain cultivation resources.
For example, picking herbs in the Medicine Cliff was something the servant disciples had to do.
As for Lin Xuan, he was not a service disciple. He was an in-name disciple, but he was a service disciple. It could be said that he was the most special one among all the outer court's in-name disciples.
He was born in the Lin Family in Guang Wu City. He was the only legitimate son of the family head, Lin Zhentian. He was also the future successor of the Lin Family.
The Lin Family had been passed down in the Martial Light City for hundreds of years and had a huge family business. The Family Head, Lin Zhentian. . . Once upon a time, when Lin Xuan joined the Elemental Dao Spiritual Heaven Sect's outer court, he was once the target of many nominal disciples' envy and fawning.
But unfortunately. . .
The weather was unpredictable, and a man could face misfortune in a day and a night.
Two months ago, the Martial City of Light was attacked. The Lin Clan led troops to resist, but unfortunately, they were defeated.
In just one night, the entire Lin Family was annihilated. The Martial City of Light was in a mess, and only Lin Xuan was left. He was the sole heir of the family, and he was all alone in the Elemental Dao Spiritual Heaven Sect.
Although he had escaped the annihilation of his family, Lin Xuan's days in the sect had fallen by thousands of meters in an instant. Because of the destruction of the Lin Family, no one could provide Lin Xuan with cultivation resources anymore.
Even though he was an in-name disciple, he had no choice but to enter the Servant Division. By doing odd jobs, he could maintain his life and obtain cultivation resources.
Then. . .
Who was the one who made the broken rope on the cliff?
And who was the one who schemed to kill such a miserable youth?
Actually, the answer came from Lin Xuan himself.
A few months ago, when Lin Xuan had just joined the outer court of Elemental Dao Spiritual Heaven Sect, he didn't come alone. He also brought along a maid who was similar to his age, Sun Qianer.
Although this girl was a maid, she possessed a rare talent called the Spirit Searching Demon Eyes. She was taken in as a disciple by a Saint.
This was originally a good thing, and Lin Xuan had thought the same at the beginning. Even though Sun Qianer was a servant girl, she had grown up with Lin Xuan. Their names were master and servant, and they were actually siblings.

But. . .
He never would have thought that after Sun Qianer climbed onto the branch and became a phoenix, she would quickly reveal her true nature.
Before the destruction of the Lin Family, Lin Xuan had a large amount of cultivation resources that the Lin Family had provided him. At that time, Sun Qianer often interacted with Lin Xuan and used the excuse that she did not want to be left behind by the other senior brothers and sisters to swindle Lin Xuan's cultivation resources.
After the destruction of the Lin Family, Sun Qianer instantly acted as if she didn't know Lin Xuan anymore. At the beginning, she only looked at Lin Xuan hypocritically once and comforted him a little. After that, she never saw Lin Xuan again.
Regarding this, although Lin Xuan was very sad, he didn't scold him.
Because he understood a principle - morality was used to restrain oneself. It was not used to restrain others.
Sun Qianer's actions could be said to be ingrate. In fact, ever since Sun Qianer was accepted as a disciple by that elder, the relationship between the two of them was no longer a master-servant relationship. Sun Qianer also did not have any obligation to help him.
It took a very long time for Lin Xuan to recover from the grief of his family's destruction and the betrayal of his maidservants. He originally thought that the most difficult part of his life would come to an end.
But who would have thought. . .
The tree wanted peace. And the wind didn't stop.
For some people, Lin Xuan's existence was already a thorn in their side, and they had no choice but to get rid of him.
