第五卷 天云十二州 第一千二百一十二章 赏罚分明

The scene shifted to a large hall, with only Lin Xuan and a young girl standing there. Moon'er was not by his side.

That little brat didn't even follow him into the main hall; she had gone off to chat privately with Zheng Xuan.

"Where's that little brat? She doesn't have any trace of her master," Lin Xuan shook his head, wondering how this girl, as the ruler of the Netherworld, could control those unruly demons and ghosts.

Just as he was musing, the young girl beside him knelt before him gracefully.

"Lin Ying'er, what's going on?" Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"I acted without thinking, almost causing irreparable damage to the White Phoenix Pavilion," Lin Ying'er lowered her head, her large eyes filled with remorse.

"Don't be silly. It was just a matter of judgment; everyone makes mistakes," Lin Xuan said kindly. "Get up."

"But—"

"Are you not listening to me?" "I'm sorry." Lin Ying'er quickly stood up obediently.

As the leader of the White Phoenix Pavilion, she was a powerful figure in her own right, but before Lin Xuan, she still bowed low and humbly.

"It's fine. You don't have to be so formal. Stay here; I need to discuss something with you," Lin Xuan said gently.

"Please instruct me, Young Master." "Do you want to establish a branch of the White Phoenix Pavilion in Yunzhou?" "Yes." Lin Ying'er was taken aback. "When we were in Xuan Yuan City, I reported this matter to you before; didn't you agree?"

Lin Ying'er's expression turned anxious as she continued: "Now that it is a time of chaos, it would be an excellent opportunity for our sect."

"Ying'er, there was no misunderstanding. I did not stop you; quite the opposite, I will greatly support the expansion of the White Phoenix Pavilion in Yunzhou," Lin Xuan said with a sip of tea.

Lin Xuan, although not a hermit, had long-term immortality as his ultimate goal and showed no interest in power or status, which was why he left the management of the White Phoenix Pavilion to his two maids. Although she received much care, she never interfered with its expansion. Why did Young Master suddenly change his mind?

However, despite her shock, Lin Ying'er had no complaints; she wasn't afraid of losing power. If not for Young Master, she and Liu Xin would have been sacrificed long ago, and they wouldn't be in their current position.

But there was a misunderstanding. Although Lin Xuan planned to support the White Phoenix Pavilion greatly, he did not intend to interfere with its specific operations. The reason behind this idea wasn't just a sudden whim; it had deep reasons.

Unlike other late-stage cultivators who focused on advancing to the Transcendent Realm and then facing the heavenly tribulation, Lin Xuan was different. At only 200 years old, his lifespan far exceeded that of ordinary late-stage cultivators.

With various treasures in his possession, especially the Blue Star Sea, he felt confident about advancing to the Transcendent Realm. He believed he could even overcome the heavenly tribulations, which were feared by other cultivators.

In short, his time on this world was limited; he might ascend at any moment.

If it had been just him, he would have left without a second thought, but with more and more followers, Lin Xuan wanted to provide them with a way out. Most of these followers were still in the early stages of cultivation, like Ying'er, Liu Xin from Youzhou, and the disciples left by Qinxin; they were all at the late-stage cultivator level.

With his protection, no one dared to bully them now. However, what would happen a hundred years later when he ascended to the Spirit Realm? The dangers of the cultivation world were everywhere; even Xuan Yun Mountain had been destroyed by an infant-stage ancestor. What would become of these followers then?

Lin Xuan didn't want his followers to suffer after he left, so he came up with the idea of establishing a sect for them to support each other.

To ensure their safety in this world, the sect needed to be strong, which is why Lin Xuan planned to build on the foundation of the White Phoenix Pavilion and provide significant support.
