“Regarding this, do you have any doubts?”

Lin Jing had anticipated this outcome and thus did not offer any defense.

“No, I comply with the Sect’s decision,” Lin Jing bowed and said.

Manager Li nodded, waved his hand, and said, “You go back and pack up. You’ll depart the mountain tomorrow.”

Lin Jing bowed, “Manager Li, I take my leave.”

Having said that, he prepared to leave.

“Wait.”

Just then, a voice came.

Lin Jing looked up and saw that it was that Inner Sect Disciple, responsible for overseeing the Spirit Rice confiscation, who had spoken.

Manager Li looked at him in surprise, not understanding why he would speak up at this moment, and hastily reminded him,

“Senior Han, he has been expelled from the Sect, this is the decision of the Sect Elders, the matter is settled, you mustn’t be confused.”

The Inner Sect Disciple’s expression remained indifferent as he spoke to Manager Li, “Junior Brother Li, you worry too much.”

Then, he turned his head, staring intently at Lin Jing, as if carefully observing him.

Made uncomfortable by his gaze, Lin Jing thought carefully and realized he did not know this Senior Han, and he did not understand why the other was staring at him.

After a long while, Senior Han finally asked,

“Your name is Lin Jing?”

Lin Jing bowed in response, “Yes, Senior Brother.”

Lin Jing’s earlier status was just as a spiritual farmer, but he was still a menial Disciple of the Qingyuan Sword Sect, so addressing the Inner Sect Disciple as ‘Senior Brother’ was not inappropriate.

Although he had now been expelled from the Qingyuan Sword Sect, he had no better address at the moment, so he still chose to call him Senior Brother.

Senior Han did not object, and continued to ask, “Do you recognize Lin Yue?”

Lin Jing was taken aback and hastily replied, “Returning to Senior Brother, Lin Yue is indeed my father.”

Senior Han nodded and then said,

“The road down the mountain is often frequented by Demonic Beasts, which is very dangerous. It happens that I need to go down the mountain tomorrow. Come here early in the morning tomorrow, and you can go down with me.”

Hearing this, Manager Li hurriedly tried to dissuade him, “Senior Han, he is just a Disciple who has been expelled from the Sect. Just letting him go down the mountain is enough, why would you bother to personally escort him?”

Senior Han, looking at Lin Jing, said softly, “I had an old connection with his father. As the son of an acquaintance, naturally I cannot allow anything to happen to him right under my nose.”

“So it is, Senior Han is indeed a man of great loyalty and sentiment.”

Manager Li said with a smile,

“Why would Senior Han need to concern himself with such a matter?”

“In that case, I shall personally take him down the mountain tomorrow. I know some people in the Fang Market at the foot of the mountain. I can ask someone to help him with a place to stay, and incidentally find him some work.”

“This would also fulfill Senior Han’s sentiment, would it not be wonderful?”

Senior Han listened but did not reply; instead, he turned his head, his gaze intense, staring fiercely at Manager Li.

Manager Li, made extremely uncomfortable by his gaze, forced a couple of dry laughs and said,

“Senior Han, is there something inappropriate?”

Only then did Senior Han speak, “Junior Brother Li, you work so hard, there’s no need to trouble yourself. The Demonic Beasts at the foot of the mountain are ferocious, I fear you might not be able to fend them off.”

“I would not want the son of an old friend to come to harm.”

“Junior Brother Li.”

“Do you…understand?”

Staring into Senior Han’s pressing gaze, a flicker of panic passed through Manager Li’s eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

He then bowed to Senior Han, saying,

“Such sentiment from Senior Han truly commands my admiration.”

After speaking, Manager Li turned his head and said to Lin Jing,

“Lin Jing, as Senior Han will take you down the mountain tomorrow, you should thank Senior Han now.”

“Thank you, Senior Han.”

Lin Jing, though unaware of why Senior Han was behaving this way, still bowed and thanked him.

“Remember to come here early in the morning tomorrow, I’ll be waiting for you here; don’t be late.”

“Senior Han, rest assured.”

After that, Lin Jing bid farewell to Senior Han and Steward Li, and then pulled his cart away.

……

By the time he got back to his residence, the sky had already turned pitch black, and Lin Jing had no desire to start a fire to cook. He simply ate some dry food and considered it a meal.

Bathed in the dim moonlight, he surveyed the thatched cottage he had lived in for a year. Having to leave it tomorrow, he felt a twinge of reluctance.

After all, this was the first home he had in this world after transmigration, even if he was alone.

The mother of his predecessor had died early, and his father had passed away a year before, leaving very little behind. It didn’t take long for Lin Jing to finish packing.

Once he had finished, Lin Jing sat cross-legged on the bed, reflecting on the events of the day.

He naturally did not believe what Steward Li had said about the refugees from outside the mountains.

This was Qingyuan Sword Sect, where not just refugees, but even cultivators from outside would not dare to create trouble here.

Given this, there was only one possibility: the destruction of the Spirit Field was very likely related to Steward Li.

“Listening to the conversation between Senior Han and Steward Li today, it seemed there was more to it.” Lin Jing pondered in the dark.

“Could Steward Li be plotting against me?”

“If the destruction of the Spirit Field was carried out by Steward Li, what was his purpose?”

“Is it just to drive me out of the Sect, or does he want to kill me on my way down the mountain?”

Lin Jing felt he was getting close to the truth of the matter.

“I haven’t even crossed paths with him.”

“If it’s for wealth, that’s even less likely. I’m so poor that it rings, the only possessions I have are two Low Grade Spirit Stones, belonging to one of the poorest among the spirit farmers.”

This was the most perplexing part for Lin Jing.

And Senior Han, Lin Jing could feel that he bore no malice towards him.

Senior Han should be a trustworthy person…

As for being expelled from the Sect, Lin Jing didn’t care at all.

He was even slightly pleased.

Because the status of a spirit farmer in Qingyuan Sword Sect was not free at all; they were not even allowed to leave the mountain, nor could they gain access to other cultivation resources.

With his talents, if he continued to stay here, his entire life might not see a change for the better.

As a transmigrator, how could he be content with just being a spirit farmer?

Of course, he was not content, so leaving Qingyuan Sword Sect was also in his plans, it just happened a bit earlier than expected.

After all, he was a man with a System…

Even though his System couldn’t directly enhance his combat strength, it could ensure he never worried about food and clothing…

Each time he thought of this System, Lin Jing wanted to gripe.

But upon further thought, being able to live a second life was probably a sign that his ancestral graves were sprouting green smoke.

He should be content with that, what more could he need…

……

“The most important thing right now is to improve my strength. Let’s not think about that anymore. As of now, I am only one step away from reaching the second level of Qi Refinement. If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to advance to the second level tonight.”

Afterwards, Lin Jing began to meditate seriously.

The Spiritual Energy here was much thinner than in Steward Li’s courtyard. After meditating for a long time, Lin Jing could feel a slight amount of Spiritual Energy slowly entering his body and then circulating through his meridians.

He continued to meditate into the night, and when Zi Time was more than half over, a voice sounded in Lin Jing’s mind.

“System Space time has refreshed, remaining time to enter: 2 hours.”

Lin Jing suddenly opened his eyes and the corners of his mouth lifted, revealing a slight smile.

“I’ve been waiting for you.”
