There was no trace of spiritual energy left in Yingchuan's body. He looked at the hardly damaged monster in front of him, breathlessly, in utter despair.

He understood that this time he had no hope at all.

Fortunately, his fellow disciples had already escaped, which was his only remaining consolation.

Just as he closed his eyes and prepared to end it all by self-destructing, he heard voices calling him.

"Brother Ying!"

"Brother Ying!"

"Brother Ying, we've brought people to rescue you!"

Yingchuan opened his eyes in astonishment and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

I saw those fellow students who had already escaped running back again.

Before Yingchuan could finish his words of reprimand, a blue figure had already blocked his way, holding a black sword and slashing at the monster.

"Roar!"

The monster roared in pain and instinctively took two steps back.

Lin Hao took this opportunity to say to Yingchuan: "Step back first!"

Although Yingchuan didn't know who the person in front of him was, he subconsciously followed his instructions and retreated.

Seeing this, a group of disciples immediately surrounded him and checked if Yingchuan was injured.

However, Yingchuan did not respond to his fellow disciples immediately. Instead, he stared blankly at the figure fighting with the monster.

He didn't know why, even though he didn't recognize the man's face, the voice he just spoke gave him a familiar feeling.

The battle on Lin Hao's side ended quickly.

Although this demon beast possesses the strength of a low-level spirit beast, it is still no match for Lin Hao.

After killing the monster, Lin Hao immediately came to his senior brother.

Lin Jinxing looked at Lin Hao's little face that seemed to be asking for praise, and instantly understood what he meant.

He raised his hand to ruffle Lin Hao's soft hair, and said in an extremely gentle and doting tone: "Junior brother is really amazing."

Lin Hao was satisfied after hearing what he wanted to hear. He squinted his eyes and accepted the praise.

At this time, Yingchuan came over with his fellow apprentices to express his gratitude. He clasped his fists and said, "I am Yingchuan from Qingfeng Sect. Thank you for saving me, senior."

Although Lin Hao was somewhat unhappy about being interrupted from interacting with his senior brother, he did not show it.

He still had a gentle smile on his face and said, "I am Lin Hao from Sifang Island. It's just a small matter. When a cultivator encounters such a thing, anyone will help. And you don't have to call me senior. I'm not that old either. We can just call each other fellow Taoists."

When Yingchuan heard the name Lin Hao, his expression immediately turned into astonishment. He looked up at Lin Hao and asked, "Excuse me, did you use the Disguise Pill on your face, Brother Lin?"

Lin Hao touched his face and admitted generously: "Yes, my brother and I came out to gain experience this time, and we don't want to attract too much attention."

Hearing this, Yingchuan's eyes immediately became eager.

Seeing this, Lin Jinxing frowned and stood in front of Lin Hao.

Yingchuan didn't notice all this and knelt down in front of Lin Hao with a plop.

Now everyone present was dumbfounded, and Yingchuan’s fellow students wanted to step forward immediately and help Yingchuan up.

But just as he was about to take a step, Yingchuan noticed him and stopped him with his eyes.

Lin Hao and Lin Jinxing looked at each other, not understanding what was going on.

Yingchuan cleared up Lin Hao's doubts at this time, "My benefactor, do you still remember Li Si, whom you helped in Utuo City?"

Lin Hao carefully observed Yingchuan in front of him, and then he completely matched the face with the one in his memory.

Lin Hao quickly helped Yingchuan up and said, "Are you Li Si? I remember you now, but you have really changed a lot since before."

Lin Hao was telling the truth.

In contrast, his pride was not shattered when he was in the Li family before.

But in that environment, he still had some inferiority and servility. Now Yingchuan is completely reborn, with less inferiority and more confidence.

Yingchuan smiled heartily and said, "I have to thank you for your help back then. After leaving the Li family, I joined the current sect. Although the sect is not big, everyone in the sect is very loving."

In fact, Yingchuan skipped a lot of things in his narration. How could things be so smooth sailing?

He had suffered a lot before joining this sect. He had been a casual cultivator and had almost lost his life in a secret realm.

But he was still grateful to Lin Hao for rescuing him from the Li family. After leaving the Li family, he felt that he was a real person, not someone's vassal or slave.

Later, Yingchuan met the leader of Qingfeng Sect. After accepting his invitation, he finally had a place to stay.

Lin Hao couldn't help but sigh as he listened to Yingchuan's story.

At first, I chose to help just out of a sense of mutual sympathy during the fight and because I could sense the other party's unwillingness.

But now that he saw that the other person was living well, Lin Hao was also happy.

From Yingchuan's narration, it was not difficult for Lin Hao to see that the other party was really doing well. Perhaps his sect was very small, so small that it could not even be ranked in the world of cultivation.

But seeing the light in the other's eyes, Lin Hao also felt happy for him.

It was also the first time that he experienced the satisfaction in his heart after helping someone.

I clearly only did a small thing that required little effort, but the person in front of me remembered it for so long.

"Right!" Yingchuan suddenly slapped his forehead, took out some spirit stones from his storage bag and said, "I was so happy to see you just now that I almost forgot. This is the money you lent me for my travel expenses and the magic weapon. I have kept it for many years. Now I finally have the chance to pay you back with interest."

Lin Hao looked at the spiritual stones handed to him, took out a small portion, and took the rest away, saying, "Forget about the interest, I'll take the principal."

Lin Hao pushed the remaining spirit stones back with a firm attitude.

Yingchuan wanted to refuse again, but Lin Jinxing, who had been unable to bear Lin Hao's indifference, said at this moment: "We have something else to do, so we'll leave first."

After he finished speaking, he took Lin Hao away on his sword, without giving Yingchuan any chance to shirk his responsibility.

Yingchuan still held the spirit stones in his hands, looking at the two people flying away with a confused look on his face.

Just leave like that?

I haven't even had a good word with my benefactor.

Lin Hao was also a little confused.

He was being held by Lin Jinxing at this time. He stretched out his finger and poked Lin Jinxing's waist, which made Lin Jinxing's body stiffen. His eyes deepened and he looked at Lin Hao.

Lin Hao was unaware of this. He said with some dissatisfaction, "Why did you leave? I haven't even said a few words to Yingchuan yet."

Lin Jinxing said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Why stay there and make those meaningless excuses?"

Lin Hao didn't think so. He curled his lips in dissatisfaction and turned his head away and said, "But I haven't had a good talk with him yet."

Lin Jinxing leaned close to Lin Hao's ear, and his deep and pleasant voice was clearly heard by Lin Hao.

"Junior brother, you should pay more attention to your Taoist partner. Don't you think that you care more about people you don't know than I do?"
