The entire Lingxiao Sword Sect had long anticipated Lin Yan's departure. Even Yang Cong and Xu Lan asked nothing.
Initially, they would have been worried about Lin Yan venturing out with her cultivation alone. Now, with such a powerful figure by her side, they didn't even need to concern themselves with her safety.
Seeing their expressions, Lin Yan felt a pang of guilt, but not much. She tugged on Zi Che Shao Hao's hand and left without looking back. If she couldn't see it, she'd pretend it didn't exist.
Furthermore, the development of the Lingxiao Sword Sect couldn't rely solely on her. Every beginning was difficult, and she had laid the foundation. The rest was up to them to develop.
As for her martial uncle's intention to pass on the sect leader position to her, that was merely his idea.
Lin Yan had her own matters to attend to, such as helping the original host get revenge, avenging the annihilated Lingxiao Sword Sect, and even ascending. She didn't have that much time to manage a sect.
Moreover, if she had a sect to shoulder, she wouldn't be able to act as recklessly as she pleased. This would go against her intentions.
If nothing unexpected happened, this would be Lin Yan's last mission. Her points had accumulated sufficiently. She didn't wish to do anything in this world; she just wanted to live more freely and extravagantly, along with the original host's share.
This was cultivation! What Chinese person hadn't dreamed of flying on a sword? Now that she had such an opportunity and was experiencing it firsthand, she naturally had to enjoy it to the fullest.
When Lin Yan and Zi Che Shao Hao departed the sect, some people saw the two streaks of escaping light and reported back to their masters.
"You mean that great figure from the Central Continent has left the Lingxiao Sword Sect?"
"Yes, this subordinate saw it with my own eyes. Young Master Zi Che and Fairy Wang Shu left the Lingxiao Sect together."
"Is that so? This is truly heaven-sent." He pondered what to do, calculating what he could gain if he befriended this Young Master Zi Che.
"It seems he truly dotes on Fairy Wang Shu. However, Fairy Wang Shu's beauty is indeed captivating and ignites a desire for conquest."
As for why this Fairy Wang Shu was so fortunate to be favored by the young master of a top-tier cultivation family from the Central Continent, even offering such substantial betrothal gifts just to marry her.
While Wang Shu's talent was strong, it wasn't so exceptional as to warrant the attention of a cultivation family from the Central Continent. What was the reason?
For what reason? Many were pondering this question, especially those from one particular family.
That was the family who faced the Tantai family back then. They couldn't imagine what value a lone orphan from an annihilated family could possess to attract a disciple from a major family. The only plausible reason would be the Tantai family's treasure.
Although the Tantai family, from which the original host hailed, was merely a cultivation family in the Southeast Region, it had been passed down since ancient times.
Even though it didn't rank among the mid-tier families, a broken boat still had 3,000 nails! The treasures passed down through generations in the Tantai family were far more than what they had plundered.
They firmly believed that this treasure must have been hidden by the Tantai family, and the recipient of the hiding must have been the last bloodline of the Tantai family, Tantai Wang Shu!
This time, the grand proposal already indicated this. If it weren't for the Tantai family's treasure, why would a top-tier cultivation family from the Central Continent set their sights on an orphan from a small sect?
