Chapter 57: Is this what you call a one-on-one?

  "What are you guys talking about, walking so slowly?" Yu Lin asked curiously as he saw Leng Ruo Xue and the others trailing behind him, chatting away.

  "Not much, just chatting, how far is it?" asked Leng Ruoxue with some curiosity, um, where does Yu Lin want to take them? It seems like they've already walked a long way!

  "We're almost there, just ahead." Yulin said with a mysterious face.

  "Master..." Lan Meng glanced at Yu Lin, wanting to speak but hesitating. He really wanted to remind Master, but was afraid that Xiao Xue would be unhappy. It seemed like Xiao Xue also wanted Master to learn a lesson! Alas, Master, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I'm powerless!

  "Xiao Ming'er, what do you want to say? Why are you being so hesitant?" Yu Lin asked with some puzzlement, his handsome face full of question marks.

  "It's nothing, I just wanted to tell Master that Master, I miss you so much!" Seeing the cold gaze from Xue, he succumbed and said... Master, Xiao Xue's tyranny is really too scary, disciple is afraid!

  "Hmm! Xiao Ming, you don't need to say this to Master, Master understands your intentions." Yu Lin wiped two drops of cold sweat from his forehead, speaking somewhat unnaturally. He couldn't understand why his apprentice was being so mushy today?

  "Master, you must take care of your body!" Lan Meng said with a hint of subtlety. Alas! He hoped that the master could understand his implicit suggestion.

  "Don't worry, Master will definitely take care of his body." Yu Lin said something inexplicable, and Jun's face was filled with confusion!

  Leng Ruo Xue listened to the conversation between the two, secretly amused in her heart. Haha! Xiao Lanlan was really easy to deceive! He actually thought that she didn't allow him to tell Yu Lin about the duel because of what happened with Er Mao. In fact, it wasn't because of this that she glared at him, heh heh!

  "You two are indeed deeply affectionate as master and apprentice!" said Leng Ruoxue with a hint of envy.

  "Of course, Xiao Ming is someone I raised with my own hands!" Yu Lin said proudly.

  "Hmm! It seems your age is really not small." Lan Ruoxue was stunned for a moment, then said with realization.

  "Little girl, I've said it before, don't look at appearance, but at age." Yu Lin protested, humph... this little girl is too bad, how can she keep pouring salt on his wounds! Age is his Achilles' heel after all!

  "How can that be, if my grandfather finds out, he will blame me for not respecting the elderly. Hmm! You should be even older than my grandfather?" Cold Yuxue guessed, with an absolutely beautiful smile on her face, her beautiful eyes shining, and her gaze constantly sizing up Yu Lin!

  "It doesn't matter, I don't mind. Just don't call me grandpa, just call me brother." Yulin said with a fearful face.

  "You're dreaming, you're just a grandfather's generation, and still calling me brother? Don't you have any shame?" Cold Snow hadn't even spoken yet, but the demon was already dissatisfied.

  "Haha!" Leng Ruo Xue couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard Yao Jiao's words, um! Yu Lin's face was indeed quite thick-skinned.

  "Xu?r, let's ignore this old man who doesn't know his place." The demoniac wrapped his arms around Leng Ruo Xue's slender waist and whispered intimately.

  "Hmm." Leng Ruoxue replied cooperatively.

  "Xiao Ming'er, they're bullying me." Yu Lin looked at them singing and harmonizing together, couldn't help but complain to his apprentice.

  "Hey! Master, hurry up and lead the way!" Lan Meng said with some helplessness, a few black lines slipping onto his forehead. Actually, he also thought that Master's face was quite thick-skinned, but what could be done? Who let Master care about others mentioning his age the most?!

  "We'll be there after turning the corner." Yu Lin said with a displeased expression.

  Yu Lin sulked and led the way with his head down, while Leng Ruo Xue and others followed behind him, secretly laughing to themselves...

  "We're here." Yu Lin pointed at a grand mansion after a few minutes and said to Leng Ruo Xue and the others.

  "Master, this place is not bad, how did you find it?" Lan Meng asked with a surprised face, and at the same time, he was also puzzled in his heart. When did Master become so efficient? He actually found such a good house in just one night! You know, such a property in Xiangyang City is absolutely priceless! And even if you have money, it's not necessarily possible to buy it.

  "Nonsense, of course it's good here, this is our Master Xuan's territory." Yu Lin growled in a bad mood, humph! He was still angry!

  "Is this the industry of the Xuan Shi General Assembly? I thought the general assembly's industries were all rubbish!" Leng Ruo Xue lightly laughed and teased, after all, when she blew up the Xuan Shi General Assembly earlier, Wu Hui's residence in that general assembly's industry was just an abandoned empty courtyard for many years!

  "How is that possible! We will stand upright on the vast continent for thousands of years, and there are many good things!" Yu Lin said this with a proud tail that almost reached the sky.

  "Oh, what's going on with that courtyard where Wu Gong lives?" asked Leng Ruo Xue with a curious expression.

  "Wu Hui is just the vice president, there are many things about the general assembly that he doesn't know. As for the courtyard where he lives, it belongs to the public property of the Xuan Shi General Assembly, everyone knows that. However, the hidden properties can only be known by the president." Yu Lin explained with a smug face.

  "Hmph! Wu Gong thinks that by stirring up trouble, he can take over the General Assembly? He's greatly mistaken. There are many things about the General Assembly that he doesn't know, and even if he becomes the president, he won't be able to truly control it. This is also why he handed over the General Assembly to Wu Gong and retreated to cultivate in peace - but what he didn't expect was that he underestimated Wu Gong's abilities. The current situation of the General Assembly is even worse than he imagined! That's why he urgently wants to keep Cold Ruo Xue and others at the General Assembly, because now more than ever, the General Assembly needs talented people!"

  "Xiao Lanlan, did you hear that?" Leng Ruoxue asked after listening to Yu Lin's explanation and looked at Lan Meng.

  "Huh? I heard it." Lan Meng responded with a puzzled tone. What could he do even if he heard it? It had nothing to do with him anyway!

  "You'd better work hard to become the president then!" Leng Ruoxue said directly, sigh! Looking at Xiao Lanlan's expression, she knew that Lan Meng had no idea what she meant!

  "Master has already left the pass, no need for me to be the agent of the General Assembly!" Lan Meng said happily, hehe, thinking of this, he would laugh out loud even in his dreams.

  "Xiao Lanlan, he can't be with you for the rest of his life, so sooner or later, he will be yours." Leng Ruoxue said very affirmatively.

  "Little girl, I'm not necessarily going to hand it over to Little Ming'er, okay?" Yu Lin couldn't help but say, although Little Ming'er was very excellent, he now had a more suitable candidate.

  "Then who do you want to hand it over to?" Leng Ruoxue asked Yu Lin with some dissatisfaction, hum! She didn't think anyone was more suitable for the position of President than Lan Meng.

  "It's a secret!" Yu Lin smiled mysteriously, whetting everyone's appetite!

  "Old man, you're actually selling Guan Zi. You don't really think you can be the president of the association for a lifetime, do you?" Leng Ruoxue said with a hint of doubt.

  "Of course not, if the person I've set my eyes on is willing to take over immediately, I'd hand over the position right now. But I'm afraid he won't be willing!" Yu Lin said with a hint of melancholy, his handsome face clouded with worry and concern!

  "Really, someone has been chosen?" Leng Ruoxue said with half-belief and half-doubt. Hmm! She had thought that Yulin was deceiving her just now, but it seemed that there really was a successor. But who could be more suitable than Xiao Lanlan?

  "There is, but now he won't agree, so my journey to find a worthy person is still very long!" Yu Lin said with a sad face.

  "Hmm, since that person won't do it, then don't force him. Let Xiao Lanlan be your successor instead!" suggested Leng Ruoxue.

  "Xiao Xue, I don't want to," Lan Meng said softly, looking like a wronged little wife, the more she spoke, the more pitiful she seemed.

  "Little girl, you heard it, Xiao Ming'er won't agree." Yu Lin sighed lightly.

  "Little Blue, didn't we agree on that?" Leng Ruo Xue glared at Lan Meng, her tone slightly threatening.

  "That's because Master didn't leave the pass, I agreed to it. But now that Master has left the pass, there's nothing for me to do anymore!" Lan Meng said matter-of-factly.

  "Little girl, since Xiao Ming is unwilling, don't force him either. Let's go, I'll take you to see the courtyard." Yu Lin said, helping his apprentice out of the situation.

  "Hmm." Leng Ruoxue couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed, it seemed she had meddled in other people's business again!

  Yu Lin led the way in front, leading Leng Ruoxue and the other two into the courtyard.

  "Little girl, are you satisfied with this place?" Yu Lin said somewhat proudly in the courtyard, knowing that this was the best location and environment among all the properties of the General Assembly.

  "Not bad." Leng Ruoxue raised her eyes and scanned the spacious courtyard, nodding in satisfaction.

  This courtyard is very large, with a delicate and luxurious pavilion, and there is also a clear stream in the courtyard that runs through the entire courtyard. Although it can't compare to the Blue Family's estate, Leng Ruoxue believes that this mansion is definitely one of the best in Xiangyang City.

  "Little girl, this courtyard will belong to you from now on. This is the property deed, take it." Yu Lin handed the deed to Leng Ruoxue and reminded her.

  "Thank you!" Leng Ruoxue said thank you, then put the house deed into her sleeve.

  "Haha, no need to be polite, from now on we're family." Yulin said with a smile.

  "Huh, what does it mean?" Cold-as-snow's face was filled with confusion.

  "Little girl, from now on you will be the elder of our Xuan Shi General Assembly." Yu Lin announced.

  "Elder? I'm not interested. If this house can only be owned by becoming an elder, then I'd rather return it to you!" Leng Ruoxue said with a somewhat cold tone, and took out the deed, directly throwing it at Yulin. Humph! The old man actually dared to scheme against her, no way!

  "Huh? Girl, what do you mean?" Yu Lin was somewhat stunned. Had he said something wrong? It seemed like he hadn't said anything wrong though?

  "You old man, you think you can buy me with just one house? I didn't say I wanted to be the elder of the association!" Leng Ruoxue said discontentedly. She had originally thought that Yu Lin only wanted to win her over, but now she realized that this old man actually wanted her to run errands and risk her life for him! Humph! The old man's calculations were indeed very good, but she was not going to let him have his way.

  "Little girl, don't be in a hurry, listen to me! The elder I'm talking about is just a nominal position, you won't have to do anything for the organization, of course, if you're willing to, that's a different story." Yu Lin smiled slyly, heh heh, although he hadn't known this girl for long, but he believed that as long as she agreed, even if it was just a nominal elder position, in the future, if the organization had any requests of her, she would definitely agree! And what he needed to do now was to build a good relationship with this girl first.

  "Not only that, but as an elder, the treatment every month is also very good. Really, believe me, I'm not cheating on kids." Yu Lin added, with a smile on his face that looked so pure and innocent!

  "Why should I do anything for the General Assembly? You won't use the rules of the General Assembly to restrain me?" Leng Ruo Xue asked somewhat uncertainly, she wasn't a child after all, where would she believe Yu Lin's words? After all, there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

  "It won't happen, I guarantee it." Yu Lin assured.

  "What should I, this elder, do?" asked Leng Ruoxue with a puzzled expression. Uh! The more Yu Lin spoke like that, the less she could believe him!

  "You don't have to do anything, just put up a name and that's it." Yulin said with a smile, his face full of fawning expression.

  "Do you want me to be a decoration?" Leng Ruoxue narrowed her eyes, somewhat displeased, and hummed. This old fox actually still didn't tell the truth.

  "Hmm! Of course not, you can do whatever you want, really, I guarantee it." Yu Lin said with great sincerity, anxiously to the point of almost crying... Ugh, why is this girl so hard to deal with?! If it were someone else, they would have jumped at such a good opportunity and eagerly agreed, but she's asking this and that, hesitating and making excuses!

  "If I don't like a particular elder, can I just kill him?" asked Leng Ruoxue intentionally.

  "Obviously, killing you outright is not an option, and I'll warn all the elders not to provoke you. Will that do?" Yu Lin's little wife looked at Leng Ruo Xue with a flattering expression and asked.

  "......" Cold as snow, Yu Lin's meaning was that it could be done secretly? She couldn't quite understand why Yu Lin would do something so unprincipled.

  "I'm just a mysterious king, you really don't have to be so self-effacing." Leng Ruoxue was helpless, this is the only word she could think of now, alas! What's wrong with this old man?!

  "Although you are now only the mysterious king, however, you have great potential, so, becoming the elder of the general assembly is well-deserved." Yulin said somewhat grandiosely.

  "The elder of the General Assembly would not agree." Leng Ruoxue said calmly, those old men did not know how many years they had mixed in, and it was not easy to become an elder. If they knew that she was asked by the president to be the elder of the General Assembly, they would be furious!

  "Who dares to oppose the unanimous expulsion from the General Assembly! Hehe, they don't dare to oppose." Yulin said with some confidence.

  "Xuě er, agree to him!" The voice from the ring was somewhat helpless. Alas! Seeing Yu Lin's current state, he also felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart. Actually, he was very clear about Yu Lin's purpose, but he also knew that Xuě er would not agree to that guy.

  "None, I don't like being tied down!" Leng Ruoxue transmitted her voice, if she really wanted to be the elder of the General Assembly, she would have directly let BaoBao use his mind-reading technique to see what Yu Lin was thinking, but precisely because she didn't care, so she wouldn't be too concerned!

  "Xue Er, didn't he say that as long as you put up a name? I think he wouldn't dare to be dishonest." Wu Ti Yu Lin pleaded.

  "Alas, okay!" Leng Ruoxue sighed and reluctantly agreed.

  "Little girl, just agree with me!" Yu Lin said anxiously as he saw Leng Ruoxue remain silent for a long time.

  "I can agree to what you want, but let me be upfront with you, I'm just lending my name. You can't order me around or restrict me with the usual rules. In short, you can't boss me around." said Leng Ruoxue emotionlessly.

  "No problem, as long as you agree to put up a name, you can do whatever you want." Yulin said with a smile.

  "As long as you can meet my conditions, I will be the elder from now on, of course, just in name." Cold Snow nodded and said, implying that if you can't do it, she won't be an elder either.

  "Don't worry, since I've promised you, I'll definitely do it. From now on, you can think whatever you want and no one will restrain you, including me!" Yu Lin guaranteed very seriously, and in his heart, he let out a sigh of relief... Finally, this little girl has been settled, it's really not easy! At this time, he still didn't know that Leng Ruo Xue agreed because someone had spoken well of him.

  "That's good." Leng Ruoxue nodded in satisfaction.

  "Hey, little girl, you'd better take good care of this deed, this house is worth a lot of money!" Yu Lin handed the deed back to Leng Ruoxue's hands and reminded her once again.

  "Hmm, where is a spacious and uninhabited place?" Leng Ruoxue took over the house deed, nodded slightly, and asked. Since she was now an elder of the General Assembly, it was also reasonable to accept this house.

  "Not far from here is a mountain, there should be no one there. Little girl, what are you going to do?" Yu Lin asked with some curiosity.

  "You'll know when we get there, let's go now!" Leng Ruoxue urged, and the two of them couldn't wait any longer.

  "Alright, follow me!" Yu Lin said, and then very proactively led the way in front.

  After walking for about half an hour, Leng Ruo Xue and others arrived at the foot of a mountain.

  Leng Ruo Xue raised her beautiful eyes, sizing up the mountain in front of her. Hmm! Can this even be considered a mountain? It's really small, with a height of about ten meters or more. The mountain is lush and green, covered with all sorts of trees, some of which have red fruit hanging from them, looking very enticing.

  "Haha, little girl, isn't this place great? This is yours too." Yu Lin said with some pride.

  "Is this also my territory?" Leng Ruoxue asked somewhat gloomily. The environment here was quite good, and if the two of them were to repair the Jade Pavilion here, they might end up ruining the scenery, which would be a pity.

  "Of course, the house is yours for miles around, haha, be happy!" Yulin said with a smile.

  "Is there an uninhabited place around here that doesn't belong to me?" asked Leng Ruoxue, unable to help herself.

  "There is one, but it's a bit far from here." Yu Lin furrowed his brow and thought for a moment, huh? He didn't know what this girl wanted to do, why did he have a bad premonition?

  "It doesn't matter, take us there!" Leng Ruo Xue summoned Xiao Kong Que from the ring and said.

  "Hey boss, how about I take you guys to that place we went last time?" suggested Little Peacock, referring to the place where they had roasted fish last time.

  "Uh, no need, just go to the place that old man said." Leng Ruoxue wiped away two beads of cold sweat and said, the place Xiaokongque mentioned was very far from Xianyao City.

  "Yes." Little Peacock replied, and after everyone sat on its back, it flapped its wings and flew towards the place Yu Lin said...

  "Little girl, why did they call you Young Master's servant?" Yu Lin asked somewhat puzzled after taking off.

  "Because I'm its master!" Leng Ruo Xue leaned into Yao Jiao's arms and explained calmly.

  "Huh? Then who's the big sister?" Yu Lin was somewhat confused, he felt that his IQ had plummeted when facing this little girl!

  "It's my contract beast!" Leng Ruoxue looked at Yu Lin Tao with a silly expression, but actually she was intentionally not making it clear.

  "Little girl, has anyone ever told you that you're very wasteful?" Yu Lin asked after being speechless for a while.

  "I didn't waste anything, I'm very frugal!" Leng Ruoxue said disapprovingly.

  "Are you still being frugal? Little girl, this small peacock is a fourth-grade super divine beast, right?" Yu Lin asked.

  "You're actually Xuanzun, can't you see that?" Leng Ruoxue said with a hint of disdain.

  "Of course, I can see that it's a fourth-level Super Divine Beast. Do you know the value of a Super Divine Beast on the Vast Heaven Continent?" Yu Lin said with some envy and jealousy, "Ugh... this is actually a Super Divine Beast! It's actually serving as a subordinate to this wicked girl, what a waste!"

  He really couldn't understand why this super divine beast would do so, and at the same time, he was also curious about what level of beast Cold Snow was, that it could make a fourth-level super divine beast willingly act as an errand boy. After all, super divine beasts above the fourth level are extremely precious. Don't look at him being the mysterious lord and the president of the Mysterious Master Association, but his own beast is only a fifth-level super divine beast. Alas... that was still something he had to think of every means to contract with great difficulty. But here, a fourth-level super divine beast was just a small errand boy, sigh! What a difference indeed!

  "Master, don't be sad!" Before Leng Ruo Xue could respond, Lan Meng spoke up to comfort him, sighing. He was well aware of Xiao Xue's beastly strength, so he really couldn't bear the thought of his master being defeated!

  "Xiao Ming'er, what do you mean? Why should I be sad?" Yu Lin asked somewhat dejectedly, hmmm... could it be that even his own disciple looked down on him?

  "We have arrived."

  Leng Ruo Xue interrupted the conversation between the two with a cold voice, and looked up at the desolate valley that Yu Lin had mentioned. The valley was extremely barren, with very low temperatures at the bottom, and it wasn't particularly large either. However, it was sufficient for a showdown between Leng Ruo Xue and Yu Lin!

  "Oh!" Yu Lin raised his head to confirm, then jumped down from Xiao Kong Que's back.

  "It's time to begin!" Cold-as-Snow removed the two hairs from the ring and said to them.

  "Thank you, miss." Da Mao and Er Mao thanked Leng Ruo Xue, then, with sly grins, they looked up and down at Yu Lin, sizing him up thoroughly!

  "What's going on?" Yu Lin's handsome face was full of confusion, and his heart was also a little nervous. Eh! Why were these two mini bears staring at him with sparkling eyes?

  "Miss said it's for us!" Er Mao explained very kindly.

  "Oh, why do you call her Miss? Isn't she your master?" Yu Lin asked somewhat puzzled. Hmm! How many super divine beasts does this girl have?! These are actually two more fourth-level ones."

  "Not really!" Da Mao said with a sly smile, his shiny black eyes staring tightly at Yu Lin without letting go. Uh! Actually, he was afraid that Yu Lin would run away.

  "Oh, that... Please don't look at me with those flirtatious eyes, okay? I'm scared!" Yu Lin couldn't bear the gaze of the two little bears and proposed in a somewhat fearful tone.

  "What the heck, did your eye see us being flirtatious?" Hearing Yu Lin's words, Da Mao got even angrier! This annoying human, yesterday said they looked like bears, today says they're being flirtatious, it's really too much bullying of bears, humph! Bears won't show their might, or else they'll think we're pandas!

  "Both eyes have seen, you guys don't always stare at me, I'll be shy." Yu Lin didn't want to be stared at by the beasts, because the two little bears looked at him with unfriendly eyes.

  "You're not a mother bear, how could we possibly be interested in you? Humph! Don't get too full of yourself!" Er Mao said with a flick of his small mouth, extremely disdainful.

  "What are you staring at me for?" Yu Lin said with great annoyance, of course he knew he wasn't a mother bear, this fact didn't need two bears to tell him!

  "Because we're going to beat you up!" Da Mao said, transforming back into his true form, a massive bear paw swung towards Yu Linzhao...

  "Mother! Xiao Yatou, your beast has gone mad!" Yu Lin hastily dodged and hid from Da Mao's attack, loudly shouting at Leng Ruo Xue.

  "Bang!" A crisp sound echoed through the vast mountain valley!

  "Ah! You damned bear, don't hit my butt!" Next, Yulin's scream also rang out, wooo... He dodged the big furball's attack, but forgot to guard against that camouflaged little bear. Fortunately, it was just a camouflage, otherwise his butt would have been smashed."

  "Hmph! I've hit it, whatever happens now!" Er Mao said with a bit of rascality, his fluffy little face full of self-satisfaction.

  "You naughty bear!" Yu Lin shouted in anger, at the same time, his wronged eyes pitifully stared at Leng Ruo Xue... Uh... These two bears were released by that bad girl, if he hurt these two bears, would she blame him?

  He was in a dilemma, Leng Ruoxue was someone he had managed to get close to with great difficulty, and he couldn't let these two bears scare her away! What to do? He was really troubled, wu... Forget it, he'd just have to endure. Although he didn't know how he had offended the two bears, but absolutely could not let them ruin his hard-won friendship with that little girl.

  "Don't look at me, watch your butt!" Leng Ruo Xue reminded somewhat helplessly, sighing that Er Mao was really too wicked.

  "They are yours to let out, wooo..." Yu Lin said with a wronged tone, dodging the two furry bear paws that kept attacking!

  "They want to find you for a duel, so I'll just fulfill their wish!" said Leng Ruoxue innocently.

  "Is this a one-on-one fight?" Yu Lin couldn't help but ask, Humph... how can you bully people like that? He's not illiterate! And besides, he just found out today that the two bears' up-and-down attack is called a one-on-one fight!
