Zhen Tian Peak.
"Senior Brother, the task wasn’t completed. Sect Leader suddenly appeared at the foot of the mountain." Nan Gongjin returned to report the situation.
He was certainly feeling very dissatisfied inside.
It was on the verge of success, but it was ruined like this. If it had been soone else, it might not have mattered as much. But this involved the Sect Leader—he wouldn’t dare defy him even if he had ten tis the courage.
Ye Zhen Tian gave a light grunt, his heart filled with doubt. Why would the Sect Leader appear at the foot of the mountain?
"It’s fine. The Sect Leader showing up and saving his life was a stroke of luck for him. But his luck won’t last forever, and there’ll be plenty of chances in the future."
Ye Zhen Tian didn’t take this matter to heart. The Sect Leader might show up once, but could he show up a second ti?
Clearly, that was impossible.
Nan Gongjin hesitated and said, "Senior Brother, I’ve been stuck at the Three God Realm for ages, just one step away from reaching the Golden Core. Could you request that miraculous Spirit Pill for ?"
He had been cultivating in solitude, hoping to rely on himself to break through to the Golden Core, but the difficulty was imnse. It was as if he had hit a blockade, and without outside help, becoming a Golden Core True Man was practically impossible.
"Junior Brother, the miraculous Spirit Pill is incredibly rare, and even if I went to request it, the cost would be enormous." Ye Zhen Tian said slowly, "We made an agreent earlier, didn’t we? You handle this task for , and I’ll go seek the pill for you. But since the task isn’t completed, how can I give you the elixir?"
"Leave now."
Ye Zhen Tian closed his eyes to resu his cultivation, not sparing Nan Gongjin another glance.
Nan Gongjin knew acquiring the elixir was out of the question, so he left the area. But the more he thought about it, the more upset he felt. Without connections and resources, ascending to higher cultivation realms was truly unbearably difficult.
Ye Zhen Tian might appear generous outwardly, but in truth, he was incredibly stingy.
Initially, Nan Gongjin thought relying on Zhen Tian Peak and having Ye Zhen Tian as a Senior Brother would save him from many detours. But now, it seed that seeking others’ assistance wasn’t enough—he’d have to rely on himself.
Inside the palace.
The Sect Leader looked at his Senior Sister and began, "Senior Sister, you understand what you’re doing right now, don’t you? Wen’er has been dead for hundreds of years; he can’t be Wen’er."
"Junior Brother, I know he’s not Wen’er." Wei You’s face carried a smile. "But don’t you think he’s very similar?"
"Similar indeed, but that doesn’t make him real." The Sect Leader said, hoping to persuade her to abandon her plans. Once she acknowledged it, there would be no turning back. A single word from her could reshape soone’s entire life.
Hundreds of years ago, Senior Sister was already a True Immortal powerhouse.
Wen’er was her only son. Despite lacking talent, he was arrogant and domineering, inciting trouble wherever he went. Eventually, he provoked the anger of a certain ancient monster, who struck him down, completely obliterating him—his Divine Soul utterly destroyed.
Even though Wen’er had countless treasures protecting him, they couldn’t last long enough for his mother to arrive.
That monster, of course, didn’t survive either. Senior Sister hunted him for years and ultimately killed him at the edge of the world.
This is why one must be humble and reasonable, never recklessly exploit connections and act without restraint. If Heaven doesn’t deal with you, soone else will.
But would he dare say that?
He absolutely wouldn’t.
Wei You could clearly see Lin Fan’s underlying nature—it was unsettled, untad. He resembled Wen’er too much, even down to the way he spat threats. Combined with a similar deanor, it made Wei You unwilling to think of anything else.
"Authenticity is irrelevant to . Senior Sister, I just need a source of emotional solace." Wei You said.
The Sect Leader felt helpless. His Senior Sister had already spoken her mind—what else could he say? Saying more might only provoke her anger. All he could hope for was that the boy wouldn’t be too arrogant; otherwise, if he ended up like Wen’er, it wouldn’t be anyone else’s fault.
"Since Senior Sister has decided, then I will respect Senior Sister’s choice." The Sect Leader said, feeling sowhat reassured that she seed lucid enough and not overly irrational.
However, he still underestimated Lin Fan.
Xuanjian Peak.
Just as Lin Fan arrived, Xi Xi appeared, rushing in like a whirlwind. She seed extrely anxious. "Junior Brother, I heard you went to the foot of Zhen Tian Peak and got entangled with Nan Gongjin. In the end, the Sect Leader had to intervene and reprimand him—is that true?"
"It’s true." Lin Fan smiled. "Don’t worry, Senior Sister. It’s not a big deal."
Of course, he wanted to tell his Senior Sister what had just happened. But on second thought, he decided to keep it under wraps for now—by tomorrow, everyone would probably know anyway.
His path to invincibility had finally begun.
From now on, he could walk freely and fearlessly in Taiwu Immortal Sect.
Once things settled, certain ideas began to form in his mind.
For instance, he considered returning to Jiangdu City in grand fashion, bringing those little constable subordinates along to the sect for a visit.
And then there was the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect—his cheap Master there was likely wondering where he had disappeared to. When he returned, he’d let that Master know he had already secured his place in Taiwu Immortal Sect.
What kind of position? Well, he had recognized the Sect Leader’s Senior Sister as his mother. Essentially, he could act with impunity.
Xi Xi patted her chest. "I was terrified! I thought sothing terrible was going to happen to you!"
"Senior Sister, there’s sothing I need to tell you." Lin Fan said.
Xi Xi looked puzzled. "What is it?"
"About the background story I told you earlier—it’s all fake." Lin Fan confessed.
Xi Xi froze for a mont, then covered her mouth with a laugh. "Junior Brother, I knew it wasn’t real. I believed you at first, but later when I thought about it at ho, I started to feel like you were pulling my leg. But it’s fine! Now that you’re being honest with , it shows you trust as one of your own. That said, misleading deserves a little punishnt."
As she finished speaking, Xi Xi clenched her pink fists, ready to give Lin Fan a good pumling.
Lin Fan dodged, hurriedly saying, "Senior Sister, let finish—I wasn’t entirely lying. The village I ntioned was Jiangdu City. I grew up there, alone, relying on als from various families to survive."
Even so, Lin Fan couldn’t escape Xi Xi’s anger-filled punches.
"Ah!"
"Ahhh!"
Lin Fan collapsed from being pumled. Xi Xi straddled his back, her pink fists raining down as Lin Fan wailed in pain.
"Senior Sister, get off !"
Lin Fan couldn’t believe this little lady dared to sit on him—how could he tolerate this?
Using strength from his waist, he thrust his hips upward.
"Ah!"
Xi Xi, who had been seated on Lin Fan’s waist, flew through the air, smashed the door, and landed outside.
"Damn! This is bad." Lin Fan hadn’t expected his waist to be so strong. He rushed over and saw his Senior Sister lying motionless outside, panic rising in his heart. This looked like real trouble.
Still, he cautiously approached.
He picked up a nearby stick and maintained a safe distance, gently poking her arm.
"Senior Sister? Senior Sister, are you okay?"
Lin Fan hadn’t anticipated this outco. If he’d known, he would’ve sworn not to thrust his hips.
Suddenly.
Xi Xi raised her head. Her baby-fat cheeks, now sared with dirt on both sides, looked far from rosy. Her mouth even spilled out dust.
"Senior Sister, this isn’t my fault—you’re the one who ate dirt!" Lin Fan’s survival instincts weren’t particularly strong. He imdiately turned tail, sprinting off to find Brother Chen for help.
"Stop right there! I’m going to break your waist!" Xi Xi roared, her eyes blazing like a furious dragon, charging after Lin Fan.
