"Cuiyu..." In the square, Li Lin's eyes, at this moment within the crowd, also caught sight of that graceful figure. He still remembered, in the back garden of the Li family, how this lady once recited a verse, a sentence about the battlefield's fiery wolf smoke, not hesitating even if achievements last forever in desolation, amidst endless prosperity and the dust of the mortal world, who competes for beauty among the heroes, enough to prove, this woman is definitely not as simple as a maid, her ambitions, certainly not weaker than any man's.
"Cuiyu, how come you are here." Just as Cuiyu hesitated, Li Lin's figure squeezed out of the crowd to Cuiyu's side, his gaze then turned towards the surroundings of Cuiyu.
"Lin'er, Sister Wushuang and my mistress couldn't come out, so they sent me to see if you really came back." Looking at this figure that had now reached in front of her, Cuiyu's eyes became even more dazed.
"It's okay, I'm also very happy to see you. I thought I would never see you guys again, but unexpectedly, I didn't die and have come back." Li Lin said with a slight smile.
"How have you been over this past year?" Staring at Li Lin, Cuiyu seemed not to know what else to say, and after a moment, she finally spoke these words.
"Not bad, how about you?" Li Lin asked.
"We are all fine, and Sister Wushuang, she misses you a lot. She was so happy when she heard you came back yesterday." Cuiyu said.
"Tell Sister Wushuang, I miss her too, and I will try to find a way to go up the mountain to see her." Li Lin said softly, thinking of that elegant lady, probably cried a lot thinking he had died.
"Will you come to the mountain to see me?" Cuiyu blurted out, her face then turned red, and she turned around and hurried away: "Lin'er, I'll go first, I'm rushing to tell Sister Wushuang you really came back."
"Why did I say that, asking such a question, it shouldn't be me, we hardly spoke a few words..." After turning around, Cuiyu murmured to herself, her cheeks blushing from her face to her neck.
"If it's about going up the mountain, I will definitely come to see you." Li Lin was stunned for a moment, Cuiyu's reaction seemed a bit too much, then he loudly said.
"He said he would come to see me, really?" Looking back at Li Lin, Cuiyu's eyes showed a complex look.
"Brother Lin'er, that seems to be Sister Dugu Binglan's maid Cuiyu, you know her like this." Yue Buqun and four others arrived behind Li Lin, watching Cuiyu leaving and said.
"I knew her from before." Li Lin said lightly.
Moments later, on the martial arts field, within the huge Tiger List, the name Li Lin was written in the eighty-eighth position, causing many disciples to sigh.
In courtyard number 806, Li Lin returned from the martial arts field to the courtyard, while Yue Buqun and the other four had no choice but to prepare for the daily chores, every common disciple of Yunyang Sect has daily chores to do, patrolling, sweeping, these are all part of the chores.
In the mountains of Yunyang, a towering peak rises into the clouds, the top of the mountain is flat and steep on all sides, neat as if cut by a knife, colored in a mysterious blue, with many buildings sparsely situated on top.
In a magnificent palace, at this moment inside the great hall, there are a dozen figures sitting.
"The third protector, yesterday Baim Mei came to report, Li Lin, the Li family's descendant who fell off the cliff a year ago, a tri-elemental warrior, did not die, and has already returned to Yunyang Sect yesterday. Baim Mei wants to know, since Li Lin is a tri-elemental warrior, whether he can immediately become a direct disciple of the sect." Inside the great hall, an elder looking like a protector of Yunyang Sect spoke to a man in a purple robe at the head.
"A tri-elemental warrior, this talent, that's the second tri-elemental warrior after Miss."
"Should we notify the elders to discuss and decide, a tri-elemental warrior, our Yunyang Sect must cultivate him well, if he could reach Miss's strength, in the next meeting of the three sects and four schools, our Yunyang Sect will be much more confident."

Below, several other protectors began to discuss.
"Gentlemen, Elder Zhao knew about this last night, and instructed us not to interfere. Although the tri-elemental warrior's talent is excellent, it's still a year until the next selection of direct disciples. Our Yunyang Sect cannot break the rules for one person, so, let's follow the sect's rules." The man in the purple robe said to everyone.
"Third protector, but Li Lin is a tri-elemental warrior, shouldn't we report this to the other elders or the sect leader? A talent like this, we must cultivate well." A protector hesitated and then spoke again.
"Protector Qiu, this is what Elder Zhao said, are you going to defy Elder Zhao's wishes?" The man in the purple robe looked at the speaking protector.
"I dare not, then let's follow the rules." The protector's expression changed, and he immediately said, seemingly wary of Elder Zhao.
In the mountains of Yunyang Sect, under the setting sun, a mountain peak was bathed in a pale red afterglow, covering the entire peak in a glow of light.
On the peak, in a delicate courtyard, a series of low murmurs could be heard.
"Cuiyu, are you serious, Lin'er, he's really in Yunyang Sect, he's really still alive?" Inside the courtyard, Li Wushuang, who has always been elegant and noble, couldn't maintain her composure and asked Cuiyu anxiously.
"Sister Wushuang, I've already told you twice, he's really still alive, I saw him with my own eyes, he asked me to tell you, he misses you." Cuiyu smiled sweetly to Li Wushuang.
"He misses me..." Li Wushuang couldn't help but blush, then said, "Cuiyu, how is he now, has he gotten fatter or thinner, how did he come back after this more than a year."
"He's changed quite a bit, and has gotten a lot darker. As for this past year, I guess he hasn't had it too bad. Oh, and today he did something exciting too?" Cuiyu said.
"He didn't get into trouble, did he?" Li Wushuang immediately became worried.
"Not at all, Lin'er today directly defeated Huang Chengli, who was ranked eighty-eight on the Tiger List, with one move. Now, many disciples down the mountain are talking about him, even many senior disciples, I guess, have started to notice him." Cuiyu said.
"One move to defeat Huang Chengli, ranked eighty-eight on the Tiger List, Lin'er's strength has actually become so strong?" Li Wushuang was surprised.
"Lin'er's strength has improved too fast." Dugu Binglan, who was beside her, also said in surprise.
"Yeah, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it." Cuiyu said.
At dusk, in courtyard number 806, Yue Buqun and the other seven, dragging their tired bodies, returned to the courtyard, doing chores was also physically demanding.
Returning to the courtyard, the four of them complained incessantly, only able to envy Li Lin for not having to do chores.
Listening to the four's complaints, Li Lin smiled faintly, now in Yunyang Sect, he also wondered when Elder Yu would return, if he could become a direct disciple sooner, he could go up the mountain to see Li Wushuang sooner, and also get the Floating Shadow martial technique and the Ten Thousand Year Red Copper sooner.
After nightfall, after chatting for a while, everyone went back to their rooms to cultivate. In Li Lin's room, the little dragon and the blood lizard crawled out, as for the Sky Winged Snow Lion, the Bloodthirsty Mantis, the Green Demon Python, and the Lightning Black Panther, Li Lin couldn't let them out, they couldn't shrink their bodies yet, and the room couldn't accommodate their huge sizes.
Sitting cross-legged, taking out the Spiritual Jade Bed, Li Lin slowly began to cultivate. During this time, Li Lin also planned to refine a few Earth Spirit Pills.
Earth Spirit Pill, a third-grade high-level elixir, is very helpful in increasing spiritual power.
Although the Flying Spirit Sect left behind many elixirs, those that enhance spiritual power are extremely rare, and the Soul Spirit Liquid is also used up, so Li Lin also plans to take elixirs to breakthrough in spiritual power, once the spiritual power also breaks through to the ninth level of Spirit Master, then he can start preparing to breakthrough to the Martial Soul and Spirit Soul levels, breaking through Martial Soul and Spirit Soul levels, for both martial artists and spirit users, is a bottleneck, by then, he needs to prepare well.
Moments later, Li Lin was enveloped in a faint light, immersed in cultivation.
In the night, at this moment on a mountain peak of Yunyang Sect, in a huge courtyard, it was brightly lit, at this time, in a room, there were three figures.
Among these three, if Li Lin were here, he would definitely recognize one of them, this person in luxurious clothes, around seventeen or eighteen years old, was Li Shaohu.
Among the other two, one was a young man around twenty-three or twenty-four years old, in white luxurious clothes, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes, giving a dangerous feeling.
The last one, in a purple robe, was the third protector of Yunyang Sect.
"Yunsheng, how are things going?" Inside the room, a low and somewhat aged voice came out, the speaker sounded like an elder.
"Master, I've suppressed it. As long as no one deliberately talks about it, the other elders should not know about Li Lin returning to Yunyang Sect for now." The third protector said softly.
"Good job, lately you just have people pay more attention, try not to let people know about Li Lin returning to Yunyang Sect for now, if there's nothing else, you can go." The voice from the inner hall came again.
"I understand, Master." The third protector said lightly.
"Grandfather, Li Lin actually didn't die after falling off the cliff, he really has a big life, a tri-elemental warrior, I'm afraid other elders will definitely accept him as a disciple, and once he becomes a direct disciple, it will be difficult to deal with him, should we take action now, to prevent any accidents later?" After the third protector left, the young man in white clothes said.
