The Sun and Moon Divine Sect isn't as grand as the Celestial Tower, filled with palaces everywhere. On the contrary, the Sun and Moon Divine Sect is more ordinary; it looks more like a regular mountain village!
Ordinary, plain, yet it carries an aura of mystery and strength!
Lin Fan took a deep breath where he stood, sensing a familiar scent.
Then, as Lin Fan glanced around, he saw a figure standing in front of the gate tower!
He was a young man in a black robe, with long hair, and his face looked very clean. However, his eyes were narrow yet large; when he smiled, it seed like his eyes were closed, giving off a peculiar feeling, along with an air of cunning.
This person was Lin Long, the eldest senior brother of the sect!
In fact, Lin Fan could only be considered the second senior brother in the sect, while Lin Long, who was older than Lin Fan, was the eldest senior brother!
But Lin Fan was the Sect Leader's direct disciple and was stronger than Lin Long. In childhood, he often bullied Lin Long, so within the sect, Lin Fan had more prestige than Lin Long!
Upon seeing Lin Fan, a strange glint flickered in Lin Long's eyes that were squinted as if closed, especially when he noticed Gu Qingcheng and Su Yanyu accompanying Lin Fan on both sides, with a hint of lust mixed into that strange gleam!
With Lin Fan's astuteness gained through years in the Dark Realm, he caught the entirety of Lin Long's reaction with just a slight glance!
This Lin Long was the biological son of the sect's senior uncle Lin Tianba, who was an internal threat always opposed to Lin Kongxian!
"Why is he here?" Lin Fan wondered, filled with questions.
At this mont, Lin Long quickly stepped up to Lin Kongxian, respectfully saluting, "Sect Leader! I heard that junior brother Lin Fan is returning today, so I ca specifically to welco him!"
To this, Lin Kongxian rely nodded.
Then, Lin Long smiled as he approached Lin Fan, his face filled with a cheerful grin, although his smile always looked strange, as if his eyes were closed, resembling a cunning old fox!
As Lin Long walked, he laughed heartily, "Junior brother Lin Fan, you've finally returned. These past five years since you left the sect, I, your senior, have thought about you day and night!"
Saying this, Lin Long opened his arms, ready to give Lin Fan a warm hug!
However, with a slight step, Lin Fan easily dodged, and this scene left Lin Long montarily stunned, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, soon concealed!
"Sorry, senior brother Lin Long, but I'm not in the habit of hugging n!" Lin Fan chuckled lightly.
"Haha! No problem, no problem!" Lin Long hurriedly laughed, seeming to be a kindly person.
But those who knew him were aware of his wolf-like ambition. When Lin Bai was first brought back to the sect by the master, this guy even wanted to take Lin Bai as a follower. Initially, Lin Bai refused, so Lin Long would deliberately find trouble to teach Lin Bai a lesson!
It wasn't until Lin Fan discovered this and harshly disciplined Lin Long that Lin Bai was resolved. It was because of this incident that Lin Bai willingly assisted Lin Fan.
Similarly, it was from that day that Lin Long harbored a deep resentnt towards Lin Fan, simply brooding over it!
Moreover, though he was the senior brother of the sect, the inheritance of the Sect Leader's position fell upon Lin Fan, deepening his hatred further!
Lin Long was skilled at concealing his feelings, smiling as he glanced at Su Yanyu and Gu Qingcheng beside Lin Fan, saying, "These two must be my sisters-in-law!"
"Yes!" Lin Fan didn't conceal it.
"Haha! The two sisters-in-law are truly beautiful! I am Lin Long, the chief disciple of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect and Lin Fan's senior brother!"
Lin Long hurriedly introduced himself, deliberately emphasizing "chief disciple" and "senior brother" as if seeking a sense of glory!
Su Yanyu and Gu Qingcheng, being very clever, noticed Lin Fan's expression and speculated that his relationship with this senior brother was strained, rely offering a faint smile as a greeting!
"Junior brother, you really earn my utmost admiration, finding such beauties; but… what about little junior sister?"
Lin Long suddenly said, appearing dejected!
Look, the fox's tail finally revealed itself. ntioning another woman in front of two won, isn't this sowing discord? Creating marital conflict for Lin Fan?
Sure enough, upon hearing Lin Long's words, Su Yanyu and Gu Qingcheng both raised their eyebrows, turning to look at Lin Fan, their eyes filled with doubt!
However, Lin Fan didn't explain to the two won since this matter couldn't be clarified at once, watching Lin Long with a cold smile, he laughed softly, "Little junior sister once said she would only marry the future Sect Leader, and I am the future Sect Leader, hehe, there's no need for you to worry about this, senior brother."
Lin Fan emphasized the words "future Sect Leader!"
Aren't you fond of being devious? Then I'll hit you right where it hurts and see who's more ruthless!
Sure enough, Lin Long's face darkened slightly, this being the biggest thorn in his heart!
Yet, Lin Fan didn't even glance at Lin Long, crossing him in one step, no longer hesitating as he headed toward the stone steps!
However, after taking just two steps, Lin Fan suddenly felt a pair of eyes staring intently at him, eyes devoid of any emotional fluctuation, seemingly filled with disappointnt and heartache, causing a flutter of unease in Lin Fan's heart!
Swish~
Lin Fan imdiately turned his head, looking toward the source of those eyes!
Yet, what appeared before Lin Fan was just a blank space, only at the hillside stood a curved tree with all its green leaves shed!
That curved tree was the place where Lin Fan used to play with his companions in his childhood, and where little junior sister tearfully and reluctantly watched him as he left the sect.
"Is the little junior sister watching ?"
Lin Fan's heart brimd with uncertainty.
Then, filled with a bitter heart, Lin Fan realized he must find an opportunity to have a private talk with little junior sister during this return, to resolve the misunderstandings between them!
Afterward, without further hesitation, Lin Fan and the others climbed the stone steps following Lin Kongxian and headed to the sect's Main Hall, as all returning disciples had to pay respects to the ancestors in the Main Hall, a rule of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect!
Lin Fan was not unfamiliar with this, inserting three incense sticks into the censer and kowtowing several tis afterward, marking his real return to the sect!
At that mont, the news of Lin Fan's return quickly spread like a custom throughout the entire sect, and those childhood companions who grew up with Lin Fan were rushing to the Main Hall, making it lively and bustling!
