Chapter 267: The Yandere Demon Lord 21

At that moment, Tang Wan suddenly heard footsteps outside the door.

Hm?

Tongtong was here?

Instantly, Tang Wan subconsciously straightened her posture before looking expectantly toward the door, waiting for Lin Tongyin to enter.

What she didn’t know, however, was that Lin Tongyin’s gaze had already passed straight through the walls using his golden eye.

At that very moment, he was silently staring directly at her.

Seeing Tang Wan sitting there as though waiting for him to come in, Lin Tongyin hesitated.

But in the end—

He still didn’t dare approach.

What exactly was he supposed to say after entering?

Was he really going to confess that all this time, he had believed she wanted to kill him?

If Master learned about that…

Would she feel hurt?

Thinking this, Lin Tongyin abruptly stopped.

…

Meanwhile, Tang Wan waited and waited, only to hear no knock at all.

She couldn’t help frowning slightly in confusion.

Just as she was about to open the door herself—

Lin Tongyin suddenly turned around and fled at top speed.

Tang Wan: “…”

What exactly was this little wolf cub doing now?

Still—

Forget him.

Right now, she also needed to focus on cultivation.

Otherwise, if she ever truly had to fight someone seriously later and exposed herself, she’d be finished.

…

Since Lin Tongyin didn’t dare face Tang Wan directly, he instead vented all his complicated emotions onto Li Yan.

The moment he entered the hut, he coldly ordered:

“Come practice swordsmanship.”

Hearing this, Li Yan instantly jumped up excitedly.

“Okay, Senior Brother!”

At that moment, he was deeply moved.

So Senior Brother is actually cold on the outside but warm on the inside!

He must know I’m eager to improve, so on my very first day at Yunhua Peak he’s personally guiding my sword practice!

Senior Brother is too kind!

…

Unfortunately—

After arriving at the back mountain, reality quickly crushed his fantasy.

What greeted him was repeated face-first impacts with the ground.

Again.

And again.

And again.

After being smashed onto his ass by Lin Tongyin’s sword over a dozen times consecutively, Li Yan nearly cried.

“Senior Brother… do you really have to hit me this hard?!”

“It’s embarrassing to keep falling like this!”

Hearing this, Lin Tongyin replied coldly:

“You can’t even endure this much?”

“When you can finally withstand one of my strikes properly, then you may ask Master to guide you personally.”

Li Yan immediately climbed back up while clutching his sword.

“I understand!”

“Senior Brother, please continue training me!”

His eyes were filled with determination.

Seeing this, Lin Tongyin secretly snorted.

You want Master to guide you personally?

Dream on.

She hasn’t even personally guided me before.

…

Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, several months went by.

Then one day, a disciple returning injured from an outside mission brought back shocking news.

A hidden secret realm had been discovered within a valley near the Xingyue Forest.

The moment this news spread, the entire Changyun Sect immediately held a gathering of elders to discuss the matter.

After investigation, they discovered that the secret realm only allowed cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage to enter.

Tang Wan naturally knew this secret realm was Lin Tongyin’s destined opportunity.

Of course she wouldn’t allow him to miss it.

…

Once the situation was confirmed, Tang Wan summoned Lin Tongyin and Li Yan.

“A secret realm has appeared in Xingyue Valley,” she explained calmly.

“Only cultivators below Foundation Establishment may enter.”

“You two fellow disciples will go together this time.”

“Your master will wait for you outside.”

After speaking, she handed both of them several pills and defensive treasures.

The two accepted them immediately.

“Yes, Master.”

…

Two days later, the three master and disciples arrived outside the mist-covered entrance to the secret realm.

Tang Wan looked at them seriously.

“Alright. Go.”

“If anything feels wrong, leave immediately. Understood?”

“Yes, Master!”

After the figures of Lin Tongyin and Li Yan disappeared into the secret realm entrance, Tang Wan finally turned around and found a quiet place nearby to wait patiently.

…

In the original storyline, Lin Tongyin had remained inside this secret realm for half an entire month.

During those fifteen days, he successfully awakened the sleeping power hidden within his body.

At the same time—

He regained both his memories and his true identity.

In other words…

The Tongtong who emerged half a month later would no longer be the current Lin Tongyin.

Instead—

He would become the true Demon Lord Tong Yin.

Thinking of that…

Tang Wan suddenly felt strangely nervous.
