Jiang Yun pinched Xia Lin's face. "I can't guarantee that I'll recognize you at first sight, but I can promise that no matter how skillful the person's disguise is or how well they act, I'll tell that they're not you."
Xia Lin bit Jiang Yun's hand. "Smooth talker. But since you're sincere, I'm quite satisfied with your answer."
Along the way, Xia Lin and Jiang Yun encountered quite a few Demon Cult disciples. When they saw Jiang Yun, they all stopped respectfully, bowed, and then left. To Xia Lin's great surprise, they showed no special reaction when they saw him. The Demon Cult disciples were really well - trained.
"However, the atmosphere in the Demon Cult is too oppressive. It's not as relaxing as in the Xiaoshan School."
Jiang Yun didn't comment on Xia Lin's words. The atmosphere inside the Demon Cult was, of course, different from that of ordinary sects. The Demon Cult placed more emphasis on strength, which was also the reason why the Demon Cult had defeated the eight major sects in the past. Although the eight major sects lacked unity, the fact that the average strength of the Demon Cult disciples was stronger was something that those decent sects had to admit.
Moreover, the Xiaoshan School was not as good as Xia Lin thought. To compete for resources and to gain the favor of the sect master and elders, the disciples there also had fierce competition, and there were no shortage of intrigues. Xia Lin was just protected by him, the sect master. Moreover, he had severely deprived the power of several elders for Xia Lin's sake, intimidating others and making them know that Xia Lin was his bottom line, so they didn't dare to harm Xia Lin.
However, it was also good. If Xia Lin could always remain so innocent, it would be a good thing!
Soon, when they walked into a courtyard inside, three men and one woman came up to them, knelt on one knee respectfully in front of Jiang Yun, and said, "Welcome, Cult Leader!"
Xia Lin put on a serious face. Could these be the secretaries that every cult leader had? In the martial arts world, they were also known as guardians. These four people should be the Four Guardians: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise! As Xia Lin's imagination ran wild, Jiang Yun introduced these four people to him.
"Xiaolinzi, these four are my guardians, Qing Ling, Chi Lian, Mo Yu, and Bai Yan."
It turned out that they were named after four colors instead of four mythical beasts. These names were... quite unique... Xia Lin knew that they must have known a lot about him, but for the sake of courtesy, he still introduced himself.
"I'm Xia Lin. I'm Jiang Yun's disciple and his partner."
The four people who had just stood up exchanged glances, knelt down again, and said, "Greetings, Cult Leader's Wife!"
Xia Lin was shocked by this title. He asked these guardians to just call him by his name! Hearing Jiang Yun say with a smile beside him, "Actually, the title 'Cult Leader's Wife' is quite nice." Xia Lin secretly stepped on his foot. Of course, what Xia Lin thought was a secret action was actually seen by the four guardians.
When Jiang Yun took Xia Lin to other places, the four guardians stayed where they were and whispered to each other. "Just now, did you see that?"
"Yes, I saw. The Cult Leader's Wife stepped on the Cult Leader's foot, but the Cult Leader didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled."
"The Cult Leader and the Cult Leader's Wife are really in love. It's a pity that the wife is a man. We won't have a little cult leader."
"Watch your words. This is not something we can decide. The Cult Leader must have his own considerations about the issue of offspring."
The Demon Cult was very large. Its building area was no smaller than that of the Xiaoshan School. "Such a large place with so many rooms must have taken a long time to build! After all, the road here is so difficult to walk on!"
