That's right, a human-shaped nuclear bomb.

In the eyes of outsiders, Lord Han was like a human-shaped nuclear bomb.

It's fine if it doesn't erupt, but once it does, everyone will be buried with it.

This cautious attitude was clearly out of fear of a nuclear explosion.

Only now did Fang Yue truly feel the terrifying influence of Lord Han.

Even though he no longer had any strength, his reputation still lingered, and no one dared to challenge Lord Han's nerves.

In this light, as long as Lord Han didn't take action or show his face, it would be a kind of invisible protection for the people of Gu Yue Village.

To put it in a nutshell, it was very fitting.

Lord Han had long since retired from the martial world, but legends of Lord Han still circulated within it.

“Lord Jun, I will explain things clearly to Lord Han. Don’t worry, Lord Han is not the kind of unreasonable person.”

“Of course I know, after all, it’s that Lord Han.”

Lord Jun seemed to really admire Lord Han, with a kind of die-hard fan feeling.

"By the way, Night Captain, You Sisi and I discussed it and would like to ask you to assist her in investigating the Qingluan House case."

"Me? Aren't you afraid she'll find out that I was the one who [Severed the Dragon Head]?"

"Don't worry, she's busy with the case, she's already forgotten about it."

"I can, but why do you want me to help? I'm an outsider..."

"Not an outsider. I believe what you said. You repelled the Wu Yu tribe and protected the village. Plus, you have a clean slate as the captain of the Gu Yue Village Guard Team, so entering the Qing Si is a sure thing. So I want you to familiarize yourself with the Qing Si's operating procedures as soon as possible, so you can get started seamlessly when you officially take office…"

Stop flattering me, stop flattering me, you're making me a little giddy.

"Okay, I'll go back and talk to the others, and then go cooperate with You Sisi to investigate the Qingluan House case."

"Ok."

Business had to be done, and gifts had to be received.

Fang Yue found that the things Lord Jun sent were actually just basic supplies, nothing very valuable. He didn't know if he was poor or trying to figure out Lord Han's attitude, afraid to send anything too expensive.

"Lord Han, do you think I should give him a hint?"

"..."

Fang Yue’s suggestion was ultimately rejected by Lord Han. It was best to let things take their natural course.

He told Jing Yan and Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu to not go out recently, one to recover from his injuries, and the other to take good care of Xiao Xuedou. Then, Fang Yue went out.

Not long after Fang Yue left the inn, Lin Ling also went out.

He could forget about Qing Si. He needed to find a suitable sect to advance and become stronger.

But which sect was suitable, and which sect was willing to take him, that was the question.

Back in Gu Yue Village, whenever Lin Ling saw someone from a sect, he would go to take the test, wanting to join the sect, but it always ended in failure.

Logically speaking, in this situation, Lin Ling basically had no hope of joining a sect again.

But in reality, there was a problem here.

That was, in Gu Yue Village, the sects that Lin Ling came into contact with were actually mostly medium and large sects in the Black Green Mountains.

Because these people were all there to visit Lord Han, their standards were relatively high from the start, so it was normal that they wouldn't accept Lin Ling.

But Qing Si County was different.

In Qing Si County, there were sects of all sizes. If the requirements weren't too high, it actually wouldn't be difficult to join a sect to focus on martial arts.

What Lin Ling was looking for this time were these kinds of small sects.

Since his goal was clear, Lin Ling quickly found several sects that were willing to accept him as a disciple.

This made Lin Ling very excited.

Finally, finally, after being treated like a ball every day, I have a day when I'm looked up to!

However, after seeing that those sects were all in Qing Si County, and were just a small courtyard that counted as their own sect, Lin Ling's excitement dropped to freezing point at an extremely fast speed, and he turned around expressionlessly.

Good lord, I directly good lord!

Lin Ling thought hatefully, can this even be called a sect? Just call it a street martial arts gym and be done with it!

The most outrageous time, when Lin Ling was tricked into this kind of martial arts gym sect again, he actually found that all the people inside who were practicing this martial arts gym's martial arts were old people, and they were still doing it in slow motion!

Damn! They're even scamming old people out of their money, can't Qing Si do something about it?

The righteous Lin Ling couldn't sit idly by.

Then, he found out that Qing Si really didn't care about this kind of thing.

"The old people are practicing voluntarily, the sect's procedures are legal and reasonable, and the price isn't too expensive, so we can't do anything about it. And this sect only practices martial arts for fitness, never fights, so if we treat it as a shop, there's no problem."

This was the answer given by the Qing Si people after they came to investigate. The person from Qing Si just glanced at it and quickly gave this answer, obviously this martial arts gym had been reported by many unsuspecting people in secret.

Okay, since it's so reasonable, there's nothing Lin Ling can do.

After all, the master of this small sect was especially amiable, and you shouldn't hit a smiling face, right?

Anyway, this sect was out of the question, so Lin Ling continued to look.

His goal was to find a sect that wasn't a martial arts gym, preferably one that had its own mountain outside Qing Si County, and whose martial arts were more powerful, at least more powerful than his mental cultivation method and spear technique. Otherwise, what was the point of learning?

And you know what? Lin Ling's requirements were pretty low. After trying hard for most of the day, he actually found a suitable sect.

Or rather, he was found.

"Hello, big brother, I've been watching you for a long time. Are you looking for a suitable sect?"

Lin Ling looked up at the girl in front of him and nodded calmly.

"That's great!"

The girl blinked her cute big eyes.

"Let me tell you, when I first came to Qing Si County, when I wanted to improve my cultivation further, I was just as confused as you, looking everywhere for a sect, but I couldn't find a suitable one. But every time, the ones who came to find me were those small sects, with only a small courtyard as their venue, and they didn't even have any decent martial skills. I was extremely troubled at the time, just as troubled as you!"

Lin Ling was stunned. This girl wasn't very old, but she had experienced a lot, and she had even had the same troubles as him now.

"Then what happened later? Did you find a sect?"

"Of course!"

The girl smiled, a sweet smile, so pure.

"I later joined the Ning Guang Sect. Although the Ning Guang Sect only has my master, me, and my junior brother, my master is a major figure in martial arts, with a strength as high as the Xiantian realm! The martial arts he teaches are also from the orthodox sect route. It is said that my master was once an elder of a large sect outside, but he later had an accident and ended up living in the Black Green Mountains. Now that he is old, he wants to find a successor to pass on his inherited martial arts."

After a pause, the girl sighed and looked worried: "Unfortunately, my master's strongest martial arts can only be learned by men, and they have to be strong men like you. Girls like me, or junior brothers, those teenagers, are not qualified to learn. So I want to ask, are you interested in joining our Ning Guang Sect?"
