After hearing Bai Weiwei's words, Lin Fan and Lin Qianxiao also furrowed their brows!
If these fonts are really inexplicable, then this "sheepskin manuscript" might as well be useless!
"Shall we ask the Sect Leader? He definitely knows!" Lin Qianxiao suddenly suggested.
Lin Fan pondered for a mont. Since the old man knows what this "sheepskin manuscript" is, he surely understands it!
Thus, Lin Fan took out his phone and dialed the old man's number!
Beep beep beep~
After three dial tones, the old man's lazy voice ca through: "Kid, get to the point, don't waste my sleep!"
"Old man, it's already noon, why are you sleeping?" Lin Fan retorted irritably.
"I sleep whenever I want, are you daring to question ?" the old man said indifferently, followed by so yawns.
"Alright, I'm calling you today not to bicker, I've already obtained the 'sheepskin manuscript'." Lin Fan said.
There was a mont of silence on the other end of the line, and the sound of the old man's breathing could be heard – it seed he was equally filled with anticipation for the "sheepskin manuscript".
"But old man, I have to tell you so bad news." Lin Fan said.
"Hmm? What bad news?" Lin Kongxian asked suspiciously.
"The 'sheepskin manuscript' was snatched from the hands of a sect." Lin Fan said.
"A sect? Do you know which sect?"
"Not sure yet!"
"Doesn't matter, if they're dissatisfied, let them co to my Sun and Moon Divine Sect, I'll teach them a lesson!"
"Haha! Old man, I was counting on you to say that!" Lin Fan chuckled, feeling much more confident with the old man's support, as his prestige and reputation in the Martial World were much greater than Lin Fan's own!
Then, Lin Fan continued: "But another piece of bad news, the 'sheepskin manuscript' was torn into two halves during the struggle!"
"What? Two halves? Damn it, the 'sheepskin manuscript' was already in two halves, now it's torn again, you brat, just wait until you co back!" Lin Kongxian cursed angrily!
"Old man, is it my fault? Give
tens of billions, and I guarantee to bring it back intact! By the way... you just said... that the 'sheepskin manuscript' was originally in two halves?" Lin Fan asked curiously.
"That's right! A hundred years ago, before the 'sheepskin manuscript' was buried underground, it was fought over once, during which it was torn into two halves. The process is too complicated. I'll tell you when you co back. Do you know who tore away your half?" Lin Kongxian asked.
"It was the blood clan!" Lin Fan didn't hold back, speaking straightforwardly.
"Blood clan? Those vampires?" Lin Kongxian was sowhat surprised.
"Old man, you know them too?" Lin Fan was astonished.
"Of course! Back in the day I... Anyway, these old stories can wait for later, but make sure to preserve the half you have!"
Lin Kongxian used a commanding tone, which he hadn't used with Lin Fan in years, showing just how important the "sheepskin manuscript" was to him!
"But... old man, the font on it is a bit strange, it's not recorded in ancient writings as a known font!" Lin Fan voiced his concern.
"The origin of this font is very special, involving a big secret. It's not convenient to discuss over the phone; I'll tell you later."
Lin Kongxian pondered for a mont and asked with so anticipation: "Are you coming ho for the New Year this year?"
"Go... ho?"
Upon hearing these two words, Lin Fan involuntarily showed a hint of longing on his face. Since leaving the sect at eighteen, Lin Fan hadn't returned for many years!
There's a saying that no matter how good elsewhere is, it's not as good as ho, and fallen leaves return to their roots. For Lin Fan, the place where he grew up was his big family!
"I will!"
Lin Fan gently uttered this word, full of anticipation, longing, and countless mories!
That's where his dreams began!
Lin Kongxian said no more. After a long ti, he was the first to hang up the call, showing that, like Lin Fan, he had anticipated many years for Lin Fan's return!
And Lin Fan's conversation with Lin Kongxian wasn't sothing to hide. Upon hearing "going ho," Lin Qianxiao showed a comforting expression; this day was indeed sothing she had long awaited!
However, Lin Qianxiao quickly felt a bit anxious. She hadn't forgotten Lin Fan's words when he left: "When I co back, it's ti to marry you."
So... this ti when he returns ho... will he marry her?
If he really marries her, Lin Qianxiao didn't know whether to refuse or agree. Refuse because over the years, her heart was locked, unable to solve her emotional knot, agree because... that was her most beautiful wish!
"Did you figure out what font it is?" Bai Weiwei eagerly asked as Lin Fan put away the phone.
"A very mysterious font, I don't understand it. We'll need soone to decipher it!" Lin Fan shook his head.
Upon hearing this, the expectation on Bai Weiwei's face vanished, and she said discontentedly: "I didn't expect so much effort, only to get sothing useless, it's really annoying!"
"It's not useless, at least it's quite valuable!"
Lin Fan shrugged with a smile, put away the "sheepskin manuscript," and said: "It's getting late; let's go out to eat!"
"Perfect timing, I'm hungry too, let's go eat!" Bai Weiwei said casually.
Thereafter, the three of them left the room together. However, just as Lin Fan stepped out into the corridor, he noticed a pair of eyes staring at him. He quickly turned his sharp gaze towards the corner of the corridor, only to find it empty with no sound!
"What's wrong?" Lin Qianxiao noticed Lin Fan's abnormality and asked with a frown.
"There seems to be soone." Lin Fan said solemnly.
"Who?"
Lin Qianxiao furrowed her Willow Eyebrow and imdiately stared towards the corner, saying: "Let's go and check it out!"
"No need."
Unexpectedly, Lin Fan stopped Lin Qianxiao.
"Why?" Lin Qianxiao looked at Lin Fan in confusion.
"If there's really soone, I want to see what they intend to do!" Lin Fan's lips curled into a slight, mysterious smile!
"What are you guys doing? The elevator's here already!" Bai Weiwei asked, looking puzzled at Lin Fan and Lin Qianxiao standing still.
"It's nothing! Let's go."
Lin Fan smiled lightly, casting a mysterious glance at that corner. The feeling of being watched was not illusory; it was very real.
"Looks like I'm being watched! And they're quite a master—this is getting interesting!"
Lin Fan imdiately made a judgnt in his heart; there were indeed very few who could escape his detection!
