“Brother Lin, I just wanted to bring my disciples out to take a look at the world and let them experience things to gain knowledge. I feel that my idea was just perfect. This disciple has been spoiled since young and if she doesn’t face any trouble, she would become too arrogant.”
Zhang Xuan laughed and naturally didn’t tell him the truth.
He couldn’t say that he was representing the sect to take a look and if no other sect had occupied this area, the Celestial Ascending Sect would stretch their hands into this place.
But he wasn’t a fool either.
He could see that there was a problem here.
The little brother here… no, this little brother should be called Brother Lin. His appearance and being a Sect Leader meant that the situation was different.
There was a high possibility that this territory was already occupied by his sect.
Brother Lin revealed that he was at Dao Realm Stage Two. That wasn’t weak already. If he was in a top sect, he would have been a top tier elder.
But one mustn’t forget about his age.
For him to have such a cultivation at such a young age meant that he would be respected. The experts of the sect would naturally choose to give up the position, to allow such a capable disciple to become the Sect Leader.
If their Celestial Ascending Sect had such a talented and strong disciple, they would have made him Sect Leader too.
After all, with high enough cultivation, it wouldn’t be an embarrassment.
Lin Fan laughed and muttered in his heart.
Zhang Xuan was not a simple person and the words he said were just too nice to the ears. This was what people loved. Not only were they fun, they knew how to speak too.
Min’er just stood beside her Master.
She didn’t want to say a single word as the situation had totally changed such that she didn’t know what to say. His relationship with Master was like they had been good brothers for many years.
She also had to call him senior which made her feel really frustrated.
Lin Fan said, “Eh, the young have to see more and learn more. If they face some things, then they will grow. Your disciple is indeed arrogant and needs to be taught a lesson or she will cause trouble. When that happens not even you can help her.”
As expected, one would get addicted if someone called them senior.
Even his words became deep and confident.
Zhang Xuan nodded and said, “Eh, Brother Lin’s words make sense. The world is huge and there are many experts around. My disciple isn’t strong but she is especially good at causing trouble. If she really offends an expert in the future, then that would be catastrophic.”
The two of them were very direct with one another.
One dared to speak and the other dared to reply.
This was basically the situation between them.
The teahouse had been empty for a long time. Lin Fan and Zhang Xuan just sat opposite one another like good friends. They talked about anything and even discussed the problems with the younger generation.
The two men who stood behind Zhang Xuan listened from start to finish and would occassionally size up Lin Fan. They then turned to Junior Sister and they were overwhelmed with a special emotion.
As time went on, they felt like the gap between the two was huge.
Damn.
They were around the same age but why was he so amazing while they were being treated as juniors and being lectured by him?
Suddenly, the atmosphere became silent.
Zhang Xuan exchanged glances with Lin Fan. Neither of them spoke and they just looked at one another.
Since the two seniors were talking, the juniors around didn’t dare to speak. They didn’t even dare to take a breath.
“Brother Lin, where is your sect? I would like to pay a visit.” Zhang Xuan smiled and asked. His smile was very friendly like he was saying that he had no other plans and just wanted to visit.
Lin Fan smiled, “Brother Zhang, do you want to know where my sect is to bring people from Celestial Ascending Sect to trample us?”
Zhang Xuan was stunned and didn’t expect Lin Fan to say that. He then laughed. “Brother Lin, that joke is not funny. Am I such a person? Since I’ve become good friends with you, naturally I want to get closer.”
Lin Fan said, “Oh, I was joking. But forget about the sect. You just need to tell me where Celestial Ascending Sect is, and when I have a chance, I will head there.”
The two of them exchanged glances and smiled. Slowly, both of them calmed down and their smiles disappeared.
What was the meaning of their words? No one knew but it just felt really weird.
Lin Fan was thinking that he definitely couldn’t tell Zhang Xuan where Martial Path Mountain was. Martial Path Mountain wasn’t strong enough and if they wanted to attack him, they could only run.
Before he reached a certain strength, he wouldn’t tell others where the sect was.
Zhang Xuan’s idea was similar to Lin Fan.
What did he mean?
He didn’t tell me where his sect was but wanted to know where Celestial Ascending Sect was?
Did he want to bring people from his sect to scout and find out more about Celestial Ascending Sect?
If they realized that Celestial Ascending Sect was weaker than them, would he try to attack them?
This was why Zhang Xuan didn’t want to tell him their location before understanding more about each other. They both had the same thought.
“Hahaha, Brother Lin is right but as they say everything is up to fate. Fate is very mysterious. I think since we are fated with one another, even if we don’t know where each of our sects are, naturally we will still be able to meet one another. Is that right Brother Lin?” Zhang Xuan said.
He wouldn’t fall for Lin Fan’s tricks.
If you don’t say it, then I won’t either.
It all depended on who couldn’t stop themselves from revealing infomation.
“Right, Brother Zhang is right.” Lin Fan smiled and agreed with what Zhang Xuan said. Anyway, he didn’t lose out this time and had obtained three Dao Realm techniques.
There was no need to overthink.
Moreover, he had spent enough time and didn’t want to waste more.
You should go where you want and stop wasting my time here.
“Then…” Zhang Xuan thought about it. Forget it, he treated it as using the three techniques to buy his life. Moreover, he felt like there was no use in staying here and it was best if they just parted ways.
But he didn’t say that.
He felt like it wasn’t good for him to say it like it would show he didn’t respect the relationship.
Lin Fan didn’t mind and said directly, “Why don’t we just end here? I have something to attend to, so we will meet in the future?”
“Okay, then I won’t disturb Brother Lin. If there is a chance, then I will ask Brother Lin to visit Celestial Ascending Sect.” Zhang Xuan said.
“Sure sure.” Lin Fan smiled and waved his hands to ask Zhang Xuan to scram. He felt like leaving this person alive was much better than killing him.
Very quickly, the few of them left.
Lin Fan looked in the direction they left, deep in thought. There was too much sect movement recently and it was easy to bump into sect members outside. Especially those from the top sects who were really active.
Thinking about it, it made sense.
Now that many top sects took over land and expanded their territories, naturally, they became more active.
“Young Master, is it okay to let them go just like that?” Gou’zi asked softly.
Liang Yongqi looked at Gou’zi in shock and realized that Gou’zi had changed. He was once a servant but he sounded so confident now. He could maintain such coolness even when facing such an expert.
If Gou’zi knew what Liang Yongqi was thinking, he would shout loudly.
“Listen up, I am not the old Gou’zi anymore. I am now a Domain Realm, so Gou’zi please show some respect.”
Maybe it would shock Liang Yongqi to death.
Lin Fan said, “Nothing will happen. This person is smart. It is just that it will be a problem to mingle with him.”
That was what he was thinking.
Indeed, from the short conversation, he knew that he wasn’t a fool.
“Rage points +333.”
Yi!
Where did the rage points come from?
Did that fellow provide him with rage points after he left?
That was possible.
In the distance…
“Master, why do you have to be so polite with him? Would our Celestial Ascending Sect even need to be afraid of him?” Min’er was really unhappy. Till now, she was still thinking about how that person shoved the sock into her mouth.
It was humiliation that she wouldn’t be able to forget for the rest of her life.
Gou’zi’s socks were indeed really smelly. Any normal person wouldn’t have been able to take it. She just fainted right away from the stench.
It was really sad.
“I am afraid that all of you will die there.” Zhang Xuan looked at his disciple. She was just too dumb, and till now, still didn’t understand the situation.
Min’er was unwilling to accept it. “With Master there, what do we have to be afraid of?”
The two guys behind the old man didn’t dare to say anything. Although they didn’t have a full grasp of the situation, it seemed like they understood parts of it.
The elder needed to speak so politely with him which meant that this was a problem.
Lin Fan’s strength shouldn’t have been looked down upon and even an elder didn’t dare to be careless.
“You are really going to infuriate me to death. Do you think he is ordinary? Or do you think that Master is so strong? If I didn’t do that, then your life would have been lost.” Zhang Xuan was helpless. He didn’t realize in the past, but now, he noticed that this disciple’s intelligence was a huge worry.
What was the phrase?
If it was a pony or a horse one just had to take it for a stroll.
Who knew that after bringing this disciple out, he realized that this disciple was a problem?
Forgive him for being so direct with his words.
But he had no choice as that was really what he was thinking.
Min’er was shocked because she didn’t expect that her Master would say such words.
Zhang Xuan didn’t want to scold her, so he said nicely, “Disciple, after this matter, it is time for you to grow up. There will always be stronger people. Celestial Ascending Sect is strong but there are many stronger than Celestial Ascending Sect. Even Master might not be able to protect you.”
“It is very lucky that I was able to exchange your life for the three techniques.”
Actually, there was something he didn’t say.
Those three techniques helped to save his life too.
Of course, he definitely wouldn’t have said that.
Otherwise, he would lose all his face.
