Back at Ji Village.
Lin Yan hesitated for a moment before finding his Eldest Senior Brother, Zang Wei, and Pang Feiyan to tell them the whereabouts of the Pavilion Master, Pang Yinlong.
When they heard that Pang Yinlong had actually turned into a three-meter-tall giant monster and fell into the Netherworld River, their expressions darkened and they could not calm down for a long time.
Three days later, Zang Wei found Lin Yan. Junior Brother Lin, Feiyan and I are going back to Dragon Gate Pavilion.
Eldest Senior Brother
Lin Yan was silent for a moment before saying, Eldest Senior Brother, Dragon
Gate Pavilion is now occupied by outsiders. Ill go back with you.
Zang Wei shook his head. I went to investigate yesterday. Its just a dirty small gang. Theres no tiger in the mountains. If the monkeys call themselves kings, I can resolve it myself.
Thats good too.
At this moment, a trace of disappointment flashed across Zang Weis eyes. In addition Feiyan and I are about to get married!
What? So sudden? Lin Yan looked pleasantly surprised.
People of our world dont care about trifles. Actually, we should have done it long ago. Its just that I havent been able to get news of Master, so I dont want to be rude. Now, Dragon Gate Pavilion needs us to bear the responsibility, so we cant delay any longer.
Congratulations, Eldest Senior Brother!
Zang Wei and Pang Feiyan were childhood sweethearts, so they were naturally a good match.
Weve decided to get married in Dragon Gate Pavilion in a few days. At the same time, well reopen the Dragon Gate Pavilion. At that time, you must come and support us!
Eldest Senior Brother, youre too kind. Ill definitely be there!
Zang Wei shook his head and sighed. There are more and more people in this mountain. Junior Brother Lin, you should return to the city as soon as possible. There has always been a place for you in Dragon Gate Pavilion!
With that, Zang Wei turned around and left.
Lin Yan was silent for a moment. What Eldest Senior Brother said made sense.
The bitterness in the mountains could not compare to the convenience and prosperity in the city.
Moreover, now, because of the Demon Suppression Divisions initiative to explore the poisonous fog, there were even more people in the mountains than before.
There would be even more people during the Dingdeng Genius Battle.
Its indeed time to return to the city. However, in the next Dingdeng Genius Battle, countless powerful dragons will pa.s.s through the outer city. They will definitely affect the order in Dingan City. I wonder what kind of rules Issuer Liu will set
Not long after, Xie Lingyan arrived.
Miss Xie, are you going back to the city too?
Youve guessed it. I still have many junior brothers and sisters. I cant ignore them. Now that the rebellion in Dingan City has calmed down and order has been restored, I should go back.
Are you also going to reopen Qinghong Martial Arts School?
Xie Lingyan sighed slightly. Theres no more Qinghong Martial Arts School!
Huh?
Xie Lingyan pointed in the direction of Dingan City and said, In Dingan City, in the nine districts in the inner city, many pavilions and houses have been requisitioned by the new Demon Suppression Division. Qinghong Martial Arts School is among them.
Requisition the inner citys nine districts?
Is Issuer Liu planning to arrange for everyone from the outer city to move into the nine districts of the inner city?
Xie Lingyan pointed at her waist. They did give us enough money as compensation. My master is gone. If the school is no more, so be it. Next, I plan to bring my junior brothers and sisters into Dragon Gate Pavilion as a guest mentor.
Lin Yan nodded. Thats good too.
The next day, Zang Wei, Pang Feiyan, and Lin Yan agreed on meeting again at the wedding seven days later before they left with Xie Lingyan.
Along with them were Hu Wa and a few other capable young men and women. They all came from the nearby villages when they heard about the departure.
Brother, can we see Sister Feiyan and Sister Xie again? Xiaozhi raised her head and pursed her lips tightly, about to cry.
Lin Yan ruffled Xiaozhis hair and gradually made a decision. Well meet them again soon.
Seven days later.
Dingan City, Demon Suppression Divisions official residence.
Lin Yan waited outside the womens area of the Demon Suppression Division.
Not long after, two people walked over from behind.
Lin Yan.
Turning around, Lin Yans heart skipped a beat.
Chen Yuan had specially put on her makeup and done her hair today. Her snow-white dress stood leisurely, and her black hair fluttered gently in the wind, looking beautiful.
Xiaozhi popped her head out from behind her b.u.t.t and looked up shyly.
Chen Yuan had also dressed her up. She was wearing a light yellow dress and looked extremely cute.
Senior Sister Chen, lets go.
Chen Yuan glared at him. Youre wearing this?
Lin Yan sized himself up and was sure that he had already taken off the patrol officers official uniform. He asked curiously, Whats wrong?
Chen Yuan scratched her head in distress. Forget it. Its not your wedding anyway. Lets go.
Outside the door, a carriage had been waiting for a long time. The person driving the carriage was handsome. It was the eldest son of the Song familys SongYuansi, Song Tian.
When Song Tian saw Lin Yan come out, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, Lord.
Lin Yan raised his hand. Young Master Song, I just need a carriage. You dont have to drive it yourself.
Sir, what are you talking about? Youre the captain now. Its my duty to drive the carriage for you. In addition, theres a difference in seniority. You should call me Song Tian.
Seeing Song Tians determined expression, Lin Yan helplessly helped Chen Yuan into the carriage and carried Xiaozhi up.
Hyah!
The whip was waved, and the horses neighed as the carriage moved forward.
The interior of the carriage was simple but luxurious. It was indeed worthy of being the carriage of the Song family, one of the rich families in Dingan City.
Lin Yan sat in the car and swayed with it. He looked at the serious Song Tian through the raised curtain.
He was the son of a lowly gangster, but the young master of a wealthy family was willing to drive for him outside.
Life was really unpredictable.
A few days ago, after weighing the pros and cons, Lin Yan decided to return to Dingan City.
The mountains were clear and bitter. The originally clean place became not so clean because more and more people came to the Ji Village.
In Dingan City, Liu Lanqing of the Demon Suppression Division was bold and decisive. She changed the City Lord Manors att.i.tude of not caring about anything in the past and established an incomparably powerful Patrol Camp, which was in charge of keeping order in Dingan City.
In a short period of time, they eliminated many gangs and suppressed many thieves in Dingan City, causing the order of the entire Dingan City to be restored and its appearance to change drastically.
It was also because of this that Lin Yan decided to return to Dingan City.
In Dingan City, the safest place was the Demon Suppression Division. In the Demon Suppression Division, the safest place was the womens area.
After all, Liu Lanqing was the most powerful expert in Dingan City, and she lived here. Even Xiao Ye and Qin Xiang did not dare to be impudent here.
Therefore, for the sake of Xiaozhis safety, Lin Yan finally returned to Dingan City and became the captain of the Demon Suppression Divisions fifth patrol team.
He was confused when he took over.
Unexpectedly, that night, countless guests from the wealthy families in Dingan City came to visit, but he refused to see them.
Only then did he know how popular this little captain was in Dingan City.
There were only five teams in the Patrol Camp. Liu Lanqing was the camp commandant, and Wu Qinglei was the deputy camp commandant. He was also in charge of the Patrol Camp.
The first four teams were led by Qin Xiang, Xiao Ye, Fan Xiaopeng, and a Demon Suppression Guard that Lin Yan did not recognize.
It was in the elite mode. Each team did not exceed 15 people. The core was made of the Demon Suppression Guard. Most of the other members were experts from the various aristocratic sects in Dingan City.
Especially the first and second teams under Qin Xiang and Xiao Ye. They even had n.o.ble Realm martial masters joining them. Once they moved out, they could easily destroy a wealthy family in Dingan City.
As for Lin Yans team, it originally didnt exist. It was completely added by Wu Qinglei as backup.
It was obvious that he did not want to let go of a combat power like Lin Yan, so he casually gave him the t.i.tle of team captain.
Therefore, he only had two incapable subordinates at the moment. One was the vice-captain, Ning Xiaohui, who was in charge of supervising him. The only real subordinate was Song Tian.
Fortunately, the other four teams have sufficient manpower now. I dont have to do anything. I patrol once in the morning and at dusk every day. Two days is a Small Merit. I earn it for nothing.
However, when the people from the outer city arrive, Im afraid its impossible for me to be so free
Phew!
The carriage stopped. Sir, were here!
Lin Yan lifted the curtain and helped Xiaozhi and Chen Yuan out of the carriage.
In front of him was the courtyard of Dragon Gate Pavilion.
The door wall was decorated with lanterns and colorful banners. It was filled with joy.
The plaque on it had already transformed into a new red wooden plaque. It was still the familiar words Dragon Gate Pavilion.
Lin Yan looked up and felt slightly dazed.
Less than half a year ago, he was also like this. He stood in front of this plaque, hesitating and anxious, waiting for the decision of his life.
But now, too many things had happened. It was as if the world had changed.
Lets go in.
When he entered the hall, there were lanterns and red ropes, and window flowers hung high everywhere. Eldest Senior Brother was wearing a red robe and was welcoming the guests. When he saw Lin Yan, he hurriedly came over.
They had a life-and-death relations.h.i.+p, so there was naturally no need to say anything. After a few words, Zang Wei led him to the main table and made him sit down.
Chen Yuan and Song Tian had other seating arrangements, and Xiaozhi followed Chen Yuan.
After sitting down, Lin Yan looked around.
The people sitting at this table were all people with extraordinary bearings and high prestige. Regardless of whether they were men or women, their eyes were filled with light and their auras were high. Most of them had the temperament of being in a high position.
This kind of bearing The people sitting at this table were all senior-level n.o.ble Realm experts.
Seeing that Zang Wei had actually led Lin Yan to this table, several people focused their gazes on Lin Yan and examined him suspiciously.
He actually arranged for a junior to be at this table. This Zang Wei doesnt know etiquette
A middle-aged guest with an ugly face and moles on the left side of his face and fists as big as bowls muttered to another guest beside him.
Lin Yan just sat quietly and did not speak.
The guests gradually entered the venue, and the auspicious hour gradually approached.
Perhaps because he had been waiting for a long time, the ugly-looking middle-aged guest opposite him could not help but start talking to the person beside him.
This Zang Wei doesnt know etiquette, so he left us seniors here.
Dont say that. When guests enter, the groom has to welcome them. Its a big day for the younger generation. Lets just watch quietly.
Its a joyous day, but Im afraid we cant watch quietly. His tone was meaningful.
Hmm? Brother Hong, what do you mean?
Everyone at the table looked over.
The mole-faced guest was calm as he knocked on the table. Do you still remember the Four Alliances Gang in the east of the city?
Four Alliances Gang? Didnt they disband three years ago? Hiss, you mean
A few guests looked thoughtful, and a few were calm, as if they were not surprised.
Back then, the Four Alliances Gang were forced to disband under Pang Yinlongs coercion. The Zhao, Wu, Sun, and w.a.n.g families have always been holding grudges.
The mole-faced guest said jokingly, After Pang Yinlongs accident, the four small families secretly united again. Since the Dragon Gate Pavilion was established again, they have been scheming to find trouble.
A silver-haired old woman on the right said disdainfully, Looking for trouble? Pavilion Master Pang is dead, but we old fellows arent!
She thought that her words would arouse the agreement of the surrounding people, but she did not expect that after she finished speaking, the other guests around her were all silent. Her expression could not help but change slightly.
You? Hehe, everyone here has received Pavilion Master Pangs favors!
Everyone remained silent.
A bald man on the left suddenly said, I heard that one of the Wu family members broke through to the n.o.ble Realm last year..
