The two immediately struck up a lively conversation after realizing they were related. Both Fu Yushu and Fu Changling were talkative. In no time at all, Fu Yushu gave a full account of the situation, muttering with emotion, "My fiancée and I were just passing by. We're getting married soon, but she keeps putting it off because she likes to meddle in other people's business. We were just passing by, and here we are, meddling once again."

Then, from above, came the voice of a cultivator saying, "Now that the matter of refining the spiritual energy core is pressing, count the number of people in the town today and return with me."

At these words, the people around wailed out loud at once, and an old man stepped forward and said in a quivering voice, "Xianshi, didn't we agree that it would be a hundred people at a time?"

"When did I ever come to an agreement with you?" The man on high ordered coldly, "Grab them!"

With that, the cultivators then threw a golden net, which spread across the entire ground below. The crowd let out a horrified cry, and at that very moment, two swordbeams shot through the air. Lin Chen and Qin Yan simultaneously unleashed their swords, ripping the golden net to shreds while they began fighting with the people above.

As the surroundings were in a flurry of commotion and chaos, with people fleeing in all directions, Fu Yushu said somewhat helplessly, "You see, this is just the way she is. If she comes across injustice on the route, she has to draw her sword to intervene."

"Indeed," Fu Changling nodded and pointed to Qin Yan above with his fan. "The one-" Speaking too quickly, he nearly followed Fu Yushu's lead, blurting out "the one at my home" and uttering nonsense, but good thing he had the sense to quickly modify his words, "My Shīxiōng is likewise comparable in nature to Young Lord Lin..."

Before he could finish, a girl collapsed straight at Fu Changling's side, who hurriedly grabbed her and panickedly asked, "Miss?"

At the sound of his voice, the girl revealed her beautiful face. Taken aback, Fu Changling subconsciously called out, "Guan Xiaoniang?"

By this time, Lin Chen and Qin Yan had already taken care of all these cultivators. Lin Chen tied them up with the immortal-binding rope, and upon landing on the ground, she noticed Fu Yushu around Fu Changling, who was holding up Guan Xiaoniang, and couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"

"Ah," Fu Yushu turned around and replied with a smile, "a girl fainted."

Sheathing his sword, Qin Yan also went back to Fu Changling's side. At seeing Guan Xiaoniang's face, he couldn't help but appear surprised as well, and he muttered in a hushed tone, "It's her?"

"You two know this girl?" Lin Chen looked at Qin Yan, who nodded. It was only when he heard Qin Yan's voice that Fu Changling regained his senses. Placing Guan Xiaoniang on the ground, he held up his hand to channel spiritual energy into her. Guan Xiaoniang awoke dazed, and Lin Chen came forward, looked at her, and gently asked, "Miss, are you alright?"

Upon hearing Lin Chen's question, Guan Xiaoniang slowly opened her eyes to see Fu Changling and the others gathered around her. First, she was stunned, then looked around to see that the dozen or so cultivators in the sky had already been captured, so in response, she got up in a panic and knelt down to Lin Chen and Qin Yan, kowtowing frantically, saying, "Xianshis! I beg the Xianshis to save us! Those Taoist sorcerers have captured both of my parents. Please, Xianshis, save us!"

Hearing this, Lin Chen looked at Fu Yushu, who gave a soft cough. Lin Chen appeared to hesitate for a moment before finally responding, "Go on, tell me."
