"Mom, you’re so good to ."
Lin Fan threw himself into Wei You’s arms, then glanced at the Sect Leader with a sly smile, as if to say: having a mom is great; do you have one?
But to the Sect Leader, this felt like a provocation.
Then.
Wei You asked Lin Fan about his living arrangents, and whether he wanted his own peak to live alone. While that sounded great, he hadn’t spent enough ti at Xuanjian Peak yet, so he temporarily declined.
Once the ti ca, he’d establish his own peak.
The Sect Leader felt like his senior sister had been bewitched. As her junior brother, it was his duty to save her. That brat’s thods were quite impressive—how could soone with such high cultivation fall into his trap? It was simply unbelievable.
They chatted for a long ti about many things.
Lin Fan had been looking forward to getting so elixirs and cultivation techniques. Initially, he thought his mom would just offer them to him. But, to his surprise, she hadn’t ntioned it at all.
He wanted to bring it up himself but hesitated. After all, she’d already given him so many good things; asking for more would seem ungrateful.
So, he decided to hold back for now.
Shortly thereafter.
Lin Fan left and headed to Xuanjian Peak to find his senior brothers and sisters.
Inside the house.
"Junior Brother, do you have any elixirs? Give so that are suitable for Fan Er’s cultivation. The ones I have aren’t quite appropriate for him," Wei You asked.
"I do, but Senior Sister, I can’t give them to you," the Sect Leader refused. Before she could continue asking, he added, "Senior Sister, I have to say sothing that might upset you. Do you rember why Wen Er t his demise? It was because he made too many enemies. I’ve noticed that this child has a temperant similar to Wen Er’s. If we don’t want history to repeat itself, we have to temper his character."
When Wen Er was ntioned.
Wei You beca lancholic. "Then, Junior Brother, what’s your advice on how to cultivate him?"
The Sect Leader’s eyes lit up, and he seed smug but spoke softly, "Reading and calligraphy. This is a common way mortals educate their children, but it’s very effective. Reading will teach him right from wrong, foster kindness, and help him develop compassion toward others. Calligraphy, on the other hand, will cultivate patience, making him gentle and less likely to clash with others."
Wei You lowered her head, sadness flickering in her eyes. "Yes, Wen Er was spoiled and pampered by us before. I can’t let Fan Er follow the sa path. Let’s proceed according to your suggestion."
"Alright," the Sect Leader said, standing up. "Senior Sister, you take a good rest. I’ll go prepare so books for you."
Outside.
Lin Fan was in a good mood, walking with a spring in his step. He patted his chest, unable to sense the Reverse Cang Four Saints Set, but knowing it was there.
The good life had arrived.
Thinking about the days ahead, he couldn’t help but smirk triumphantly, feeling elated.
"Lin Fan..."
At that mont, the Sect Leader’s voice ca from behind him.
Lin Fan turned around and said respectfully, "Greetings, Sect Leader."
The Sect Leader waved his hand, "Drop the act. I’m not buying it. I just want to tell you—the Reverse Cang Four Saints Set is incredibly precious and imnsely powerful. Do not use it for evil deeds, or I’ll make you regret it."
"Where are you going? I’m not finished talking, and you’re already walking away."
Lin Fan stopped, turned back, and said, "I’m going to return the set to my mom. You’re threatening , and I’m scared, okay?"
Upon hearing this, the Sect Leader took a sharp breath. What a little brat, starting with threats already.
Nice. Real nice.
"Fine. I don’t care to bother with you. Take care of yourself. Oh, by the way, I made a suggestion to your Senior Sister, and she accepted it readily. I think you’ll like it." The Sect Leader laughed heartily as he walked away.
Lin Fan squinted, rubbed his chin, and muttered, "He’s up to no good. What suggestion could make him this smug? Better stay vigilant."
Xuanjian Peak.
When Lin Fan returned, Xi Xi, Yang Gang, and Chen Zhiyu were already in the house waiting for him. As soon as they saw Lin Fan, they sward him.
"Junior Brother, what’s going on?"
"Yeah, how is the Supre Elder suddenly your mom?"
"Is there a story here? Spill it! You’re killing us with suspense."
His senior brothers and sisters surrounded him, peppering him with questions, making Lin Fan feel helpless. Eventually, he urged them to quiet down.
"Don’t rush, don’t rush. I’ll tell you everything step by step," Lin Fan said.
Then, he explained the entire story in full detail.
To them, it was like hearing a fantastical tale, as though he were narrating so mythical bedti story.
At that mont, Lin Fan spread his hands and said, "That’s all there is to it. There’s no other reason."
Xi Xi gaped, "Junior Brother, you just accepted it like that?"
"What else could I do?" Lin Fan replied.
Yang Gang and Chen Zhiyu exchanged a look, their expressions saying, "Holy crap."
"Junior Brother, isn’t this way too casual?" Chen Zhiyu genuinely couldn’t believe his luck. His junior brother’s fortune was unbelievably great.
Lin Fan said, "It’s not casual at all; it’s fate. Ever heard of reincarnation? Maybe in my previous life, I really was her son, and I’m just here to reconnect with her in this life. Under heaven’s guidance, I arrived at Taiwu Immortal Sect, and my mom recognized in the crowd at first glance."
"Fate truly works in mysterious ways."
His words were so earnest, it felt as though they were true.
Xi Xi suddenly threw her arms around Lin Fan’s neck and said, "Junior Brother, you’ve really hit the jackpot! From now on, no one at Taiwu Immortal Sect will dare ss with you."
"You know how much I care for you, don’t you? Don’t forget about your Senior Sister!"
"Junior Brother, I’m begging for favors here."
Xi Xi was so thrilled she nearly jumped with excitent, holding him tightly.
She hadn’t expected the Junior Brother she’d brought back to turn out to be so amazing. This was one of those "rising tides lift all boats" situations—wait, scratch the boats. Doesn’t matter what flies, just let it soar.
Yang Gang and Chen Zhiyu kept nodding fervently.
"Junior Brother, make sure to rember the gifts from your Senior Brother."
"Junior Brother, wasn’t that Vajra Talisman I gave you useful? I scraped by and saved up for ages to trade for it. Look, I’ve slimd down by dozens of pounds—I’m only two hundred pounds now, practically emaciated."
Lin Fan’s taphorical tail was practically wagging with pride. "Ah, why are we even talking about this? We’re family—no need to draw distinctions. Co on, let’s get to business!"
"Where to?"
The three eagerly asked, feeling like their Junior Brother was about to pull off sothing big. Their blood was practically boiling.
Maybe this is what it feels like to follow a big shot—never a shred of worry.
"Zhen Tian Peak," Lin Fan said. Now’s the ti; he couldn’t wait any longer. He had to head to Zhen Tian Peak.
Chen Zhiyu said, "Junior Brother, your revenge moves are way too fast. I can’t even imagine their expressions when they see you."
Xi Xi said, "The people at Zhen Tian Peak are the most detestable. Years ago, one of those loathso guys humiliated . Junior Brother, you must avenge your Senior Sister."
Yang Gang said nothing but was brimming with anticipation.
Lin Fan grinned, "Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go! Onward!"
PS: There’s a dinner party I have to attend, so I’m heading out for a al. Originally, I planned to write two to three more Chapters, but, ah, curse these dinner parties! I just want to keep writing!
