"Kid, this doesn't concern you. Get out of the way."
The big man, with a broadsword on his shoulder, looked at Ye Lin with a sinister smile.
This scrawny kid, he could take on three of him.
"Big Brother, save me, please! If you save me, I'll marry my sister to you."
The woman behind Ye Lin trembled, hugging his arm.
She looked at the big man in front of her with terror.
This scene drew a crowd of onlookers.
Everyone gathered here was no simple character.
"Kid, three seconds, scram."
Seeing Ye Lin motionless and silent, one of the big men sneered.
If this kid in front of them were an important figure, he would surely be angry.
But now, silent and unresponsive, he clearly looked like a greenhorn.
A greenhorn from a small Sect.
Such people were the easiest to manipulate.
"Miss, please let go. We are strangers."
Ye Lin said to the woman behind him.
He didn't want to get involved in such troublesome matters.
Upon hearing Ye Lin's words, Li Youwei's incredibly beautiful face was filled with surprise.
She was so cute, and so proactive; any hot-blooded man wouldn't just stand by.
How could the person in front of her utter words colder than ice with such a warm demeanor?
"Big Brother, please!"
Li Youwei gritted her teeth. She refused to believe that with her beauty, she couldn't handle this greenhorn.
"Hahaha, as expected, a useless piece of trash. It's too late to leave now; three seconds have passed."
Hearing Ye Lin's words, the leading big man laughed heartily.
He had now confirmed that Ye Lin was indeed a greenhorn.
A greenhorn who wanted to be a hero and save the beauty, but lacked the strength.
"Die, kid."
The big man, with a sinister smile, raised the broadsword in his hand and swung it towards Ye Lin's face.
Seeing this, the surrounding pedestrians shook their heads.
"Scram."
Ye Lin lightly shouted, raising his left hand and subtly flipping it, then pushing out a palm.
Immediately, an indescribable immense force surged from his palm.
The big man who had charged forward was directly sent flying by a single palm strike, falling heavily to the ground in the distance, spitting out blood.
"Die."
The other three big men were not spared either; with another palm strike, the remaining three big men knelt on the ground, spitting blood.
Witnessing this scene, the surrounding pedestrians were all in an uproar.
One palm, defeating four Golden Core Stage cultivators.
That's right, those four big men were all at the Early Stage Golden Core.
Effortlessly defeating four Early Stage Golden Core cultivators with a single palm strike, this already surpassed the majority of people around.
Most of the cultivators in this city were at the Golden Core Stage.
Golden Core Stage cultivators, rarely seen on ordinary days, were now gathered here.
After all, the Divine Sword City's power was enough to rank among the top three in Tianhe County, with incredibly formidable influence.
Anyone in the entire Tianhe County who had heard of Divine Sword City's prestige had come here.
Some wanted to gain fame, while others simply came for the reward.
The grand competition held by Divine Sword City also offered extremely generous rewards.
"Big Brother, so you're this amazing!"
Seeing Ye Lin defeat the four Golden Core Stage cultivators with one palm, the woman behind him looked at Ye Lin with adoration.
"You may leave."
Ye Lin said coldly, then turned and walked towards the inn.
As for the woman in front of him, the moment she hugged his arm, he knew in his heart that he was being used.
It was fortunate that his cultivation was decent; if he had encountered someone with weaker cultivation, what would have been the outcome?
It was easy to imagine.
"Big Brother, wait for me!"
Seeing Ye Lin leave, Li Youwei called out loudly, then scurried behind Ye Lin.
"Big Brother, thank you for earlier. If it weren't for you, I would surely have been in grave danger."
"Big Brother, my name is Li Youwei. May I know your esteemed name?"
Li Youwei followed behind Ye Lin, speaking innocently.
"Miss, we've just met. It's better to keep our distance."
Ye Lin glanced at Li Youwei from the corner of his eye, speaking indifferently.
No matter how beautiful Li Youwei was, it had nothing to do with him.
Aside from improving his strength, women, in his eyes, were just withered bones.
"Big Brother, there will be an auction tomorrow, and I think you'll be interested in the items there."
Seeing Ye Lin's reaction, a hint of cunning flashed in Li Youwei's eyes.
She had seen many men like Ye Lin, only interested in improving their strength.
That was simple; she would just apply the right remedy.
The reason she was doing this was that she desperately wanted to find a Dao Companion for her sister, so her sister wouldn't constantly urge her to Cultivate.
And she had taken a liking to Ye Lin in front of her, but he was still under assessment. After all, not just anyone could be her Li Youwei's brother-in-law.
Indeed, upon hearing about the auction, Ye Lin stopped in his tracks.
His savings were almost depleted over the past year, and he urgently needed a large amount of resources to replenish them.
"It's said that there are two Illusion Pearls at this auction."
At this moment, Li Youwei whispered.
Hearing this, Ye Lin finally stopped and looked at Li Youwei.
Illusion Pearls were exactly what he needed right now.
When he accepted the mission earlier, he had asked Qi Mengmeng, but unfortunately, Illusion Pearls were extremely special.
There were none in the Outer Sect for the time being.
"Where is that auction?"
Ye Lin turned and asked Li Youwei.
"The auction will be held tomorrow, and as for the location, it's within this city. However, the auction requires an invitation to enter. Coincidentally, I happen to have two invitations, you see."
Li Youwei took out two jade talismans and dangled them in front of Ye Lin.
"What do you need?"
Seeing Li Youwei act this way, Ye Lin quietly asked.
Clearly, he was tempted. As long as he had two Illusion Pearls and integrated them into his Clone,
Then everything would be accomplished.
"I need you to agree to one request, but this request is a secret. I'll tell you then."
Looking at the tempted Ye Lin, Li Youwei's lips curved upwards. He had taken the bait.
Oh, please, what kind of men hadn't Li Youwei seen? Manipulating a greenhorn was simply too easy, wasn't it?
"Alright, I agree, but this request must not exceed my capabilities and must not be something immoral or harmful."
Watching Li Youwei's lips curl up, Ye Lin secretly chuckled to himself.
A secret request? Once he got his hands on the two Illusion Pearls, his mission would be complete.
As for the final request, if he could fulfill it, he would naturally keep his promise.
If it was too excessive, he could just renege on it. That's all.
As long as one had a thick skin, what Opportunity couldn't be found?
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
Hearing Ye Lin agree so readily, Li Youwei laughed heartily inwardly. Mission accomplished.
Simply done.
Ye Lin shook his head, entered the inn, rented a room, then sat down cross-legged inside, closing his eyes to adjust his breathing.
No matter when, he would never forget to Cultivate.
Improving his strength was the top priority; everything else was fleeting.
In the blink of an eye, a night quietly passed.
The next day, Ye Lin opened his eyes.
"Come in."
After he spoke, the wooden door slowly opened, and Li Youwei skipped in with a smile, coming before Ye Lin.
"Oh, right, you never told me your name yesterday."
Li Youwei said with a smile. It was only after she returned to her room last night that she realized she had forgotten something important.
She had forgotten to ask Ye Lin's name.
