"The Sword Sect inherits the Azure Lotus Swordplay. Because their martial power is superior, they have always been quite dominant."
"But even so, for centuries, the sect leader position has alternated between the two sides, and there haven't been any major disturbances."
"This year, the sect leader was supposed to be my father."
"However, I received news today that people from the Sword Sect stormed my home, kidnapped my father, and demanded that we hand over the sect leader's ring."
"The ring has always been with me, so I must return immediately to resolve this matter."
Wu Tian hadn't expected the Azure Lotus Sect's internal affairs to be so complicated.
He asked, "What's the point of you going back now? Are you really planning to hand over the ring?"
"Judging by their actions, they clearly intend to hold the sect leader position permanently. Once you hand over the ring, you'll likely never get it back."
Chen Qinglian appeared very distressed. She said in a low voice, "Do you think I don't understand that? But what can I do?"
"I will not hand over the ring, but I must go back now."
"Otherwise, the Sword Sect people will surely harm my father."
Wu Tian couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
He thought to himself, going back won't help. If they dared to do something like this, they were prepared to break all ties.
What kind of outcome could you expect by negotiating with a shameless person? Wouldn't you still have to hand over the ring obediently in the end?
Originally, this was an internal matter of the Azure Lotus Sect, and Wu Tian didn't need to interfere.
And the so-called trial, it didn't matter who became the sect leader; there was no difference.
But Wu Tian simply couldn't stand such thuggish behavior.
He was upright and believed that such actions should be curbed.
Otherwise, what justice would there be in this world?
With that thought, Wu Tian said with even more resolute conviction, "Don't worry, I'll go back with you right now."
"I will definitely help you. With me here, they won't be able to break the rules!"
"What?" Hearing Wu Tian say that, Chen Qinglian couldn't help but be taken aback.
She looked at Wu Tian in astonishment and said, "Wu Tian, you don't have to do this for me."
"The Sword Sect's Azure Lotus Swordplay is very formidable. If you anger them, even if you're not a member of the Azure Lotus Sect, they definitely won't let you off."
Wu Tian smiled and said, "What's the big deal? Don't worry, leave it to me!"
Looking at Wu Tian's confident smile, Chen Qinglian felt a wave of powerful masculinity wash over her.
For a moment, her heart trembled deeply.
She didn't know why Wu Tian was helping her, but at this moment, she had completely fallen for Wu Tian's demeanor.
Moreover, upon calm reflection, their Medical Sect was inherently inferior to the Sword Sect and possessed very little combat power.
If she went back this time, she wouldn't be able to achieve anything.
What if she were captured by the Sword Sect people and forced to hand over the ring? Wouldn't that be even more absurd?
From then on, the people of the Medical Sect would never have peace within the Azure Lotus Sect!
With that thought, she could only accept Wu Tian's help.
So she nodded and said, "I understand, Wu Tian, thank you. Let's set off now!"
The group booked plane tickets and flew to Chen Qinglian's home in the afternoon.
Chen Qinglian's home was the residence of the Medical Sect.
It was an ancient and elegant manor, resembling the ancient architecture seen in television dramas, exuding a classical aura everywhere.
Chen Qinglian hurried into the manor. As soon as she entered, she saw her mother rushing out with some people.
"Mom?"
Chen Qinglian quickly said, "What are you rushing out for?"
Upon seeing Chen Qinglian, Chen's mother immediately cried out, "Daughter, you've finally returned!"
"Quick, come with your mother, we're going to the Sword Sect to rescue your father!"
This situation startled Chen Qinglian.
She glanced at the people behind Chen's mother and hurriedly said, "Mom, how can you be so impulsive!"
"These disciples are all medical practitioners; they don't know martial arts. If you send them to rescue someone, aren't you putting them in danger!"
Chen's mother said, "We're just going to show our stance."
"Don't worry, I've already negotiated terms with Yang Zhi. With Yang Zhi there, we'll be fine!"
"Yang Zhi?" The name made Chen Qinglian's expression change slightly.
Immediately after, she saw a man in his thirties emerge from behind Chen's mother.
This man was tall and slender, with a rather elegant appearance, holding a long, white sword.
He smiled slightly at Chen Qinglian and said, "Qinglian, don't worry. With me here today, I will ensure your safety."
Wu Tian couldn't help but whisper to Chen Qinglian, "Who is he?"
Chen Qinglian also whispered back, "He's Yang Zhi, the wanderer. I heard his Gale Swordplay is very powerful; he's a master."
"So that's how it is," Wu Tian couldn't help but look at Yang Zhi a couple more times.
He was somewhat surprised. How could a wanderer have the ability to get involved in sect disputes? Was he that confident in himself?
Chen Qinglian's attitude towards Yang Zhi seemed somewhat distant. She looked at Yang Zhi and said, "Mr. Yang, perhaps not. This matter is not as simple as you think, and it's better if you don't get involved."
Yang Zhi smiled and said, "Qinglian, are you worried about me? That's wonderful."
"But I must go today, and I will definitely rescue Mr. Chen."
With that, Yang Zhi looked at Chen's mother again and said, "However, once I succeed, Madam Chen, please don't forget the agreement between us."
"Agreement?" Chen Qinglian immediately became vigilant.
She asked, "What agreement do you have with my mother?"
Yang Zhi grinned and said, "Qinglian, you know I'm infatuated with you. So, as long as this matter is settled, Madam Chen has promised to let you marry me!"
"What did you say?!" Chen Qinglian was shocked.
She looked at Chen's mother in disbelief and said, "Mom, what are you doing? How could you agree to such terms?"
Chen's mother looked embarrassed and said, "Daughter, this... I couldn't help it!"
"When your father was captured, I was going crazy with worry."
"At that time, Yang Zhi suddenly appeared and said he could help me rescue him, as long as I agreed to this condition."
"You tell me, the situation was already like this, it was too urgent, could I not agree?!"
Hearing Chen's mother's words, Wu Tian suddenly understood.
Great, so this guy was taking advantage of the situation to extort them!
