NOVEL WEB Chapter 117: Jasmine's circumstances
"They are waiting for me. I don't want to get scolded by my mother and Diya." Yohan smiled as he said those words and the next moment he opened the gate from the inside and started walking towards his room as he smelled very bad. Some time later, he finally entered his room and went to take a bath.
Meanwhile, some time later a figure could be seen descending from the sky and starting to walk towards a particular direction.
He was around and he was walking towards the Elder Hall and he was looking like he was in a hurry. His facial expressions were worrisome.
"Where is elder Lin?" Arjun looked towards the guard who was standing at the entrance of the Elder Hall as he asked him about the old man Lin. The guard bowed towards Arjun and shook his head.
"Sir, elder Lin is not here, I am sorry, the hall is empty," that guard responded to Arjun in a respectful manner.
Arjun became surprised to hear that, because he had already checked his room before coming to the Elder Hall, where his master spent most of his time, but he was not present in either of those two places.
Arjun took a deep breath as he was about to leave the Elder Hall but suddenly he heard a familiar voice.
"What are you doing here?" Arjun heard a familiar voice that came from behind.
Hearing that voice, Arjun tilted his head behind and his gaze went towards the familiar figure who was standing behind him.
"Master Yohan," Arjun mumbled as he looked towards Yohan who was standing behind him, safe and sound.
Seeing Yohan, he took a deep sigh as he had been worried about him the whole time.
"Thank god you are okay, master Yohan, I am very happy that you made it alive from that place," he said as he looked at Yohan.
Yohan smiled as he heard those words. He was going towards the dining hall after taking a bath, but suddenly his gaze went towards Arjun, who was looking worried about something so he decided to approach him.
He knew this guy had been with him the whole time when those assassins attacked him and Diya and he had accompanied him to the lady Evelyn's mansion.
"What are you doing here? Grandpa is probably inside the dining hall," Yohan said as he looked towards Arjun.
Arjun took a deep breath as he heard Yohan.
"Is that so? Then I will wait for him inside the Elder Hall," Arjun mumbled as he didn't want to disturb the old man Lin during his dinner.
"What happened? You are looking worried about something. Come, let's talk while we go to the dining hall." Yohan smiled as he looked at Arjun.
Arjun felt surprised as he heard Yohan and nodded his head.
"The Hundred Poison valley sect is under attack. They are not going to hold any longer. A few of our men who were present there to look over the sect have already died." Arjun took a deep breath and looked towards Yohan. And then he again started his explanation to him.
"That bastard Nicholas retaliated and he is crushing every single clan associated with us. After killing young master Raaj and the elder, Haan, his path to eradicating the Hundred Poison valley sect is clear and after that, he will try to take over the Pang city again," Arjun said to Yohan with a serious expression.
Yohan clenched his fist as he heard the name of Nicholas. He didn't care about the Hundred Poison valley sect as they were the ones who conspired against him and Diya. But he was confused about why the Lin clan's soldiers were helping that sect. He looked towards Arjun with a serious face.
"Why are we helping those bastards who tried to kill me and Diya, not only once but twice? That lethal poison belongs to those bastards, right? And what do you mean, Raaj and old Haan, is this our concern that they are dead?" Yohan looked towards Arjun as he asked him this question while they were walking towards the dining hall.
Arjun took a deep sigh and looked at Yohan.
"Young master Raaj was naive and he was tricked by Nicholas to attack you, but the master of the Hundred Poison valley sect didn't mean to harm you. This is all done by that foolish brat Raaj and Nicholas and at the end, he was killed by his hand along with his father," Arjun explained the truth behind that attack against Yohan and explained about the old man Lin's promise.
Yohan was in a dilemma as he heard about Raaj, but he took a deep breath and a smile appeared on his face.
"My grandpa is very kind and he is a man of his word." Yohan felt happy as he knew that his grandpa not only let those two escape alive from the battlefield but also, in the end he gave a burial to those two along with the promise that he was going to protect his daughter from Nicholas.

Yohan's facial expression became dark as he heard that notification in his mind, he was taken aback by the sudden notification.
"No, not yet," Yohan thought inwardly as he responded to the system. After all he was in the presence of Arjun.
"Master Yohan, are you okay?" Suddenly Yohan heard Arjun's voice, he tilted his head and looked towards Arjun and nodded his head.
"I am okay. What do you think, how many soldiers are defending the Hundred Poison valley sect, and how many soldiers did Nicholas send this time to attack the Hundred Poison valley sect?" Yohan asked Arjun.
Arjun was surprised that Yohan asked him this, because a few moments ago he was cursing the Hundred Poison valley sect and now he was interested in the number of soldiers.
"Well, the Hundred Poison valley sect has around two thousand men, and Nicholas' army is five times larger. If he is able to succeed in destroying the Hundred Poison valley sect, his next target will be the Pang city and after that, he is going to attack the clan along with all of his force," Arjun responded to Yohan.
"This is going to be tough," Yohan mumbled in a low voice.
Arjun became confused as he heard Yohan, but he shook his head a moment later, as he understood that this guy was unpredictable. He was surprised that he was famously known by the title of trash and no one knew his real background.
Arjun didn't bother to look into what Yohan said. He was more focused on the upcoming battle against the Nichole clan. He knew that his master Su Wan Lin was not going to back down and that he would keep his promise to Haan.
Some time later, both of them finally arrived at the dining hall and the next moment both of them entered the hall.
Meanwhile…
Somewhere inside the Phoenix Kingdom, a woman could be seen standing next to a window and looking towards the sky. She was wearing blue robes which looked very beautiful on her beautiful body. She had delicate features on her white and beautiful face. Her eyes were dark and black, along with long black hair which was touching her waist. She was looking around twenty years old with a mature body.
Overall, she was a beauty among the beauties.
"Lady Jasmine, what should we do now? No one wants to help us in these tough times, everyone is in fear of the Nichole clan. The surrounding clans rejected our request as they don't want to get involved in this mess." A woman approached Jasmine as she said those words.
Hearing those words, Jasmine took a deep breath and tilted her head behind towards that woman.
"Neena, it doesn't matter if someone wants to help us or not, we are going to fight until our last breath, prepare all our men and we will defend this sect," Jasmine responded to Neena.
Hearing those words, Neena nodded her head and the next moment she left that room, leaving Jasmine alone.
"Brother, how many times father told you to not associate with that bastard, but you never listened to him. Because of you, everything is ruined," Jasmine mumbled in a low voice as she already knew that her father and brother were killed by Nicholas.
He had sent a messenger to the Hundred Poison valley to surrender, otherwise he would destroy the whole sect along with its people.
"Father never liked the idea of becoming an ally with the Nichole clan, but alas everything is ruined and father and brother are no longer here to support this sect. It's my responsibility now." Jasmine looked towards the particular side of her room where her family painting could be seen.
She was the single daughter of the Haan along with an older brother who was very ambitious and wanted to expand his territory, but alas his ambition took his life along with his father.
