Chapter 13 The Woman in Black

After getting the secret book of Wuliang Cave, Lin Tianyao had no intention of staying in Wuliang Sword Sect any longer, so he took Duan Yu and Zhong Ling down the mountain.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Duan Yu suddenly reached out and grabbed the corner of Lin Tianyao's clothes, with a hesitant look on his face, as if he had something to say.

Seeing him like this, Lin Tianyao asked, "Just say whatever you want to say. Meeting is fate, no need to be so shy!"

Duan Yu reached out and scratched his head and said, "Brother Tianyao, I escaped in a hurry this time. I have nowhere to go. If you don't mind, can I follow you?"

Lin Tianyao thought Duan Yu would ask him some questions about Lingbo Weibu and Beiming Divine Art training, but he didn't expect this guy to ask this.

The main task stated that he must become sworn brothers with Duan Yu, Xu Zhu, and Qiao Feng. If he gets along well here, this task will be convenient.

Without hesitation, Lin Tianyao agreed directly: "Of course, there is no problem with this matter. If you don't mind, brother Duan, you can follow me."

When Lin Tianyao said this, Zhong Ling, who was standing beside him, suddenly gained strength. She hugged Lin Tianyao's arm and said, "Brother Tianyao, I have nowhere to go now, so you might as well take me with you!"

Zhong Ling deliberately made a pitiful look, like a kitten starving and freezing on a rainy day. Such a lovely girl made such a move, and any man would feel distressed.

However, Lin Tianyao knew Zhong Ling's background very well. This girl is the adopted daughter of Zhong Wanchou of Wanjie Valley, and the daughter of Gan Baobao! It's just that her identity has not been revealed yet, and Zhong Wanchou treats her as a jewel in his palm.

If Lin Tianyao abducted her casually, it would be a big deal if Zhong Wanchou knew about it.

"No, I can't take you with me!" Lin Tianyao refused flatly. He didn't have time to waste with this girl now. If I offend Zhong Wanchou, it will take too long and I will miss the Tianshan Conference, which will be terrible.

Rejected by Lin Tianyao, Zhong Ling's mouth sank, her eyes began to turn red, and she said with a wronged face: "Brother Tianyao, you said that meeting is fate, why did you take Duan Yu and not me?"

Seeing her so wronged, Duan Yu also persuaded her: "Brother Tianyao, just take Miss Zhong with you! The three of us have already entered the Wuliang Cave, why don't we go together?"

Lin Tianyao was like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, and he couldn't say anything. He knew Zhong Ling's identity, but he couldn't say it clearly. Otherwise, this little girl would definitely regard him as someone with ulterior motives. But if he didn't say it, he couldn't find a reason to refuse.

After thinking about it. Lin Tianyao asked Zhong Ling, "Zhong Ling, Duan Yu is running away from marriage and has no place to go, so he is following me temporarily. Are you running away from marriage too?"

Zhong Ling's eyes turned, and a cunning look flashed across her aggrieved face, saying, "Yes, I am also running away from marriage. My father forced me to marry a bald man! That bald man is so ugly. How can a beautiful girl like me marry such an ugly guy?"

As she said that, she pretended to be pitiful and looked at Duan Yu and said, "Brother Duan Yu, you and I are in the same boat. You should feel the same way about being forced to marry by your family!"

Duan Yu nodded repeatedly after hearing this. This idiot didn't see that Zhong Ling was lying, and believed it. With a sympathetic look on his face, he said, "Brother Tianyao, you must agree now. If a young and beautiful woman like Miss Zhong is ruined by a bald man for life, it would be a sin! If you don't agree, then I will go with her!"

This was said with righteous words, and even Lin Tianyao almost knelt down to him. Where can we find such a young man with a strong sense of justice in the real world?

But now, Lin Tianyao only thinks he is stupid. A man like Duan Yu would count the money for others even if he was sold. Duan Zhengchun really dared to let him out!

Not wanting to continue to care about this topic, Lin Tianyao waved his hand and said, "Since you are willing to take Zhong Ling with you, then you two can go together. I just have something to do alone, so I'll take my leave!"

After that, Lin Tianyao turned and headed towards the outside of the mountain.

Seeing him like this, Duan Yu couldn't help but curl his lips and cursed inwardly, "Brother Tianyao's temper is really abominable. Humph, Miss Zhong, if he doesn't help you, I will help you!"

Zhong Ling originally wanted to be with Lin Tianyao. Although she agreed with Duan Yu's statement, it was just to stimulate Lin Tianyao. Now that she failed to steal the chicken and lost the rice, and the plan failed, how could she be willing to go with Duan Yu?

Ignoring Duan Yu, Zhong Ling quickly followed Lin Tianyao's footsteps. While running, she shouted, "Brother Tianyao, if you don't take me with you, I will always follow you!"

This back and forth made Duan Yu a little confused. He stood there stupidly, wondering to himself, "What is going on? What is Miss Zhong doing?"

Being followed by Zhong Ling, Lin Tianyao couldn't refuse. If he knocked this girl unconscious and forcibly abandoned her, he would not be at ease in this desolate mountain. So he simply stopped caring.

Being tacitly approved by Lin Tianyao, Zhong Ling smiled happily, but she still looked nonchalant on the surface, and slightly distanced herself from Lin Tianyao.

The three of them walked along the mountain road for about two hours, and saw the sun gradually setting in the west, but there was no sign of human habitation in the distance. If this continued, they might not be able to find an inn when it got dark, and would have to sleep in this desolate mountain.

At this moment, behind the hill not far away, there was a sudden sound of metal clashing. Indistinctly, there were people shouting and cursing.

Lin Tianyao stopped, listened carefully, and whispered: "You two stop first, there seems to be a fight ahead!"

Zhong Ling and Duan Yu stopped immediately after hearing this. It was so quiet that except for the sound of the mountain wind, the sound of fighting in front became more real.

"What should we do? Go over and take a look?" Duan Yu seemed to like the excitement and looked impatient.

Zhong Ling also echoed: "Yes, let's go and take a look. If we go too late, the show will be over!"

Without waiting for Lin Tianyao to stop, the two ran directly to the hill in front, and looked over there under the cover of weeds.

Helplessly, Lin Tianyao could only stay and follow. When he looked over, he saw a woman in black being besieged by more than a dozen people!   ....
