When they saw the crystal-clear and pristine ice crystal jade in Lin Yifan's hand, they all showed signs of greed.

This is a peerless treasure, one that may not be produced in tens of thousands of years, so everyone wants it no matter what.

"Damn it! This brat actually stole our Songshan Sect's peerless treasure, it's really despicable!"

"Exactly, this cave mansion was clearly discovered by us first, why should he be able to take the peerless treasure here?"

"We must force him to hand it over!"

The Songshan Sect disciples were outraged, completely losing their previous "obedience."

Sometimes people's hearts are so terrifying, when they need you, they bow their heads, flatter, even willing to serve like a horse or cow. Once you lose your usefulness, no matter what sacred status you have, if you touch their interests, you must die.

"Master Lin, this ice crystal jade is ours, could you return it to us?"

"Yours? Are you joking?"

Lin Yifan sneered continually.

He least wanted to see this happen, but it still did; it seems in front of temptation, all compassion is false.

"We discovered this cave mansion first, so the treasures here should rightfully be ours, we have the right to allocate these treasures."

"Before we broke the defense formation, I told you whoever gets the treasure inside first, it belongs to them. So stop muddling the facts, okay?"

"You did say that, but we didn't agree to it!"

"Did your senior brother not agree for you just now?"

"That was him! He doesn't represent us!"

"Wow wow wow! Wonderful! Wonderful!"

Lin Yifan couldn't help but clap and praise, then his face changed and he shouted angrily: "I am considering that you are monks, and not being petty with you. But if you insist on showing such disgusting faces, then I can only tear away the facade with you."

"Do you think, without our agreement, you five can walk out of here alive?"

The Songshan Sect disciples smirked sinisterly, completely disregarding Lin Yifan's threat.

In their eyes, Lin Yifan and the others are just a few bags of skin, unable to shake a mountain.

"Wow, to return measure for measure, really a rare sight. Since that's the case, then bring it on! Let me see just how formidable you bunch of mutts are!"

Lin Yifan boldly declared war, fearless.

This fearless aura frightened the Songshan Sect disciples.

They didn't know if Lin Yifan truly had the prowess to defeat them or if he was just bluffing to scare them.

While they hesitated, an excited voice suddenly emerged from the crowd: "Don't fear him! He's bluffing us. As long as we unite, we can surely take him down!"

"That's right! With so many people, can't believe he can still overturn the sky."

As more and more Songshan Sect disciples rallied, those who were timid regained their confidence and started to unite against the outside.

Witnessing this scene, Du Yuze and Tan Jingwen sneered continually. This bunch of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, even one fight a dozen, are no match for Lin Yifan.

Du Yuze, An Qi, Xiao Fang, and Tan Jingwen's calm demeanor came into Monk Qingde's view.

Actually, initially, he also wanted to join his junior brothers to deal with Lin Yifan, but after seeing these four people's expressions, he immediately changed his mind.

Being fearless amidst such circumstances implies either madness or strength.

Lin Yifan clearly doesn't look like a lunatic, coupled with previous behaviors, makes Monk Qingde feel Lin Yifan might have the strength to kill all his junior brothers, including himself.

Additionally, they were at fault first, no matter how they argued or played word games, it wouldn't work.

Plus, as a sect of compassion, Songshan Sect cannot engage in strong-arm robbery or bullying.

Thus, considering various reasons, he had to stop his impulsive junior brothers: "Fellow junior brothers, don't act rashly. The ice crystal jade was seized first by Master Lin, it rightfully belongs to him! We must be lenient when necessary! And be grateful, honest, and trustworthy!"

"Senior brother! That is the ice crystal jade! How can you be so magnanimous?"

"I'm not being magnanimous; rather, I aspire to be honest and trustworthy."

"But you agreed earlier, we didn't agree, we don't have to honor this agreement!"

"Must you persist in ignorance? Must you betray your conscience? Do you know what the abbot usually teaches us? If we fail to embody compassion, then we are unworthy of being Songshan Sect disciples! Will you continue?" Monk Qingde questioned.

The Songshan Sect disciples hung their heads in shame, momentarily speechless.

Indeed, this is the sect's principle, deeply ingrained in each of them. But now out here, outside surely requires various guns and robbery, or how else can there be treasures?

"Senior brother, are you truly content?"

"What does it matter? A true man dares to take and leave; moreover, this cave mansion's defense formation was broken by Master Lin, without his help, we wouldn't have gotten a single treasure here; what is there to be discontented about?"

"Alright then!"

The Songshan Sect disciples were relieved; they had seen Senior Brother Qingde's red eyes earlier, wanting to fight for the treasure, and thought Senior Brother Qingde was also discontented, thus devising the current measure. Now even Senior Brother Qingde doesn't want it, so they let it go.

Thus they responded: "Master Lin, we apologize for the offense earlier, please forgive us!"

"It's nothing! As long as you let go of greed, I won't hold you responsible for anything." Lin Yifan replied magnanimously.

"Ashamed! Ashamed!"

The Songshan Sect disciples were embarrassed beyond words, hastily turned to search for treasures within the cave mansion, no longer daring to face Lin Yifan.

Though the smoke had cleared, Lin Yifan's goodwill towards the Songshan Sect disciples vanished.

He believed, Monk Qingde stopped them out of fear for him. If his strength wasn't formidable, facing plunder would be unavoidable today.

The tense atmosphere calmed as An Qi quickly walked up to Lin Yifan and asked: "Yifan, is this for me?"

"Yeah!"

"Don't you need it? This jade is very hard to find!"

An Qi hesitated, not knowing whether to take such a precious gift from Lin Yifan, though she deeply desired it.

"You need it more, and it'll aid your martial arts, so take it!"

"Alright, since that's the case, I'll accept it with gratitude!"

An Qi happily accepted this marvelous ice crystal jade and rewarded Lin Yifan with a sweet kiss.

"Oh my goodness, truly came out of nowhere!"

Du Yuze quickly turned his head aside, unwilling to witness this display of affection.
