Liu Yue and the group never would’ve imagined that the evil cultivator they were chasing for so long would be killed by somebody else.
Seeing that Lin Fan was going off, they called out to him without hesitation.
“May I help you guys?” Lin Fan asked nicely. He tried to sound as gentle as he could when he realized that the other party was similarly from the Magnificent Flame Sect.
Well, the scene is kind of disgusting now, and I might have already left an unfavorable impression on them.
Liu Yue frowned when she saw the mash of flesh on the ground. She looked unwell.
Some male disciples felt nausea seeing such a bloody image too. However, their Junior Sister Yue was right beside them, so they could not possibly embarrass themselves.
“Junior Brother, the evil cultivator you have killed was discovered by us and is also the mission that Junior Sister Liu needs to complete. We hope that you can hand the skillset to us.”
“Is that so?” Lin Fan took a glance at the dead evil cultivator. “He’s mincemeat now, yet you could still recognize him? I’m suspicious,” Lin Fan asked, puzzled.
The evil cultivator is now beyond recognition, yet he could still tell. Impressive.
But he died under my hands, how can I just let you have it?
To the other Magnificent Flame Sect disciples, Lin Fan was just unwilling to let them have the skillset and was looking for trouble.
At this moment, everyone was unhappy with Lin Fan. “Are you Junior Brother Lin?” a disciple asked after seeing Lin Fan’s face.
“The Junior Brother Lin that killed the Sunshine Sect disciples at the arena.”
“Yeah, that’s me.” Lin Fan laughed. “I am surprised that you recognized me.”
Liu Yue, who had been silent until now, spoke up all of a sudden; “So you’re the arrogant guy that my sister talked about. The one that does not know how foolish your acts were back then. I hope to see the day where you kneel down crying in regret.”
Lin Fan was unhappy to hear Liu Yue’s rude comments. “And who’s your sister?”
“Hmph, listen up, my sister is a first-class inner disciple, Liu Ruochen.” Liu Yue looked at Lin Fan proudly. Thanks to her sister, Liu Yue was able to be set up on high and have many people revolve around her.
“Liu Ruochen!” Lin Fan noted down the name. She sounds smart, and I like to interact with smart people.
The disciples who were planning to get physical with Lin Fan did not take action. It was said that Lin Fan was a disciple that Elder Tian Xu liked a lot. If they were to beat him up, they might attract unwanted trouble.
“Can you hand me the item now?” Liu Yue asked.
“Sure,” Lin Fan said, taking a glance at the skillset in his hand. “I can give it to you. But this is a Mystic low-class skillset. Market price is two hundred thousand. I will give it to you if you can pay for it, since I killed him but you’re the one profiting from his death.”
I might have millions now, but who would dislike more money?
“Impossible. Are you so poor that you have gone mad?” Liu Yue chided. I can treat another senior or junior brother nicely, but not this idiotic outer disciple.
If he was actually Elder Tian Xu’s direct disciple, I might have thought of him otherwise or even bootlicked him, but he’s nothing more than an idiot now.
Lin Fan weighed his mace. If not for her identity, I would have smashed it down on her already.
But I need to hold my anger in. “Whatever. Buy it if you want and give it up if not. Bye,” he said and put the mace on his shoulders, walking away.
“Hold on.” Feng Shaoyun blocked Lin Fan’s way. He stared at him coldly. “Junior Brother Lin, are you really not going to give us face?”
Lin Fan took a glance at the sect badge hanging on his waist: third-class inner disciple. He’s trying to pressure me with his status. “Senior Brother, are you trying to snatch it from me? That’s not very nice, but I have nothing to say if you do so.
“I might not be Elder Tian Xu’s disciple, but I will still lodge a complaint because you’re bullying me.”
Indeed, this statement worked. Feng Shaoyun had no words to retort.
Do I really need to get it back with two hundred thousand?
It’s the market price, but the skillset is useless to me.
“And don’t think of killing me. I run very fast. Within a second, I’m gone.” Lin Fan felt the need to plan out all his escape routes.
There are a few people here who have higher cultivation than me. If they are planning to kill me, then I would be in danger. I need to let them know that I’m like hot wheels. With a whoosh, I’m gone!
All of a sudden, a strong aura could be felt pressuring down on the crowd, engulfing them. Color drained from their faces as they felt the pressure getting stronger.
It was nothing much to Lin Fan though. It just felt like somebody was pressing down on his shoulders.
“What are you guys trying to do?” spoke a man wearing green floating in mid-air. He shone brightly like the sun, and when he looked down at them, the crowd felt as if they were being thoroughly seen through.
Powerful. He must be very powerful.
Is this Cheng Yaojin that unexpectedly got in the way going to kill all of us? (TL note: a Chinese idiom that means “a trouble unexpectedly appears in the process.”)
In that case, then please, please kill us. I can then collect their possessions when I revive. Such a powerful cultivator would not be interested in our possessions.
But to be safe, I’ll swallow all the storage rings.
What Lin Fan did not understand was the group started bowing to the figure in mid-air.
“Greetings, Senior Brother Jun.”
“Mm. What are you guys doing? Why is there blood and flesh on the ground?” Jun Wutian asked, looking at the whole situation down from mid-air.
Liu Yue got heart eyes immediately when she saw Jun Wutian, the head of the ten peaks of the Magnificent Flame Sect and a potential candidate for the next Magnificent Flame Sect leader. He was the ideal type for all female disciples and the idol of all male disciples.
“Liu Yue pays respect to Senior Brother,” Liu Yue walked out slowly and said sweetly. With a graceful posture, she was as pretty as a picture. She even stared at the figure in mid-air in affection with her pair of beautiful eyes.
“Junior Sister Liu’s younger sister,” Jun Wutian said.
“Senior Brother, Liu Ruochen is indeed my elder sister. I have made a trip out of the sect to complete my mission with the help of my senior and junior brothers. However, this junior brother snatched our mission item away and asked us to buy it back with two hundred thousand YHB! Senior Brother Feng couldn’t stand it, so he’s reasoning with him. I hope Senior Brother can help us settle this matter,” Liu Yue said in a delicate way, making herself look extremely helpless. “He even said that he will tell Elder Tian Xu about it and that we should be more careful.”
Lin Fan suddenly had an ominous feeling about this. This pretty b**** is trying to make me the bad guy? I might not be horny, but those guys over there might be blinded by looks!
This pink skeleton is extremely lethal.
This sure makes things harder for me.
At the same time, Jun Wutian turned to Lin Fan. “You’re Lin Fan, the outer disciple who rejected Elder Tian Xu?”
Lin Fan was now thinking fast. I need a plan now. I might be immortal, but I am nothing to a powerful cultivator. What if he decides to bully me?
And I’m such a petty person who’s easily blinded by hatred. It’s not a good thing if I then decide to dye the place with blood.
“Yes, Senior Brother,” Lin Fan answered. “In fact-”
But before he could finish his explanation, Jun Wutian cut him off.
“Return the item to Junior Sister Liu,” Jun Wutian said coldly, forcing Lin Fan to act as he said. “Even though Elder Tian Xu favors you, justice still comes first in my eyes. And Elder Tian Xu would approve of my choice if he knew about it.”
Lin Fan stared at him calmly. So this is what unreasonable powerful figures are like?
It’s my first time experiencing it.
Liu Yue and the rest stared at Lin Fan mockingly, rejoicing in his misfortune. What are you going to do now? This is Senior Brother Jun.
Only obediently handing the item over is the right way.
Lin Fan was currently in deep thought.
Should I give up this easily?
Am I someone who gives up so easily? This is food for thought.
