Thinking of this, Li Fan’s eyes showed a strange color.
“Standing on one foot, turn two circles to the left. Then three circles to the right.”
To verify, Li Fan ordered coldly again.
If the previous questions were somewhat rude, then Li Fan’s current request could be considered quite outrageous.
To make a Foundation Establishment female cultivator whom he met for the first time perform such a bizarre and ridiculous act.
It was impossible for any normal person to agree.
But unexpectedly, Lu Xuejing really followed each step seriously.
However, she stared at Li Fan fiercely, as if flames were burning in her eyes.
She seemed to want to crush Li Fan into pieces.
But Li Fan, being who he was, couldn’t possibly be frightened by a fledgling little girl.
He smiled slightly and said to Lu Xuejing, “It seems you still don’t understand your current situation.”
“Hmm, daring to be disrespectful to the mysterious Old Fisherman… perhaps you really lack some discipline.”
“Continue to turn in circles just like now until I tell you to stop.”
Li Fan said coldly.
A hint of humiliation flashed in Lu Xuejing’s eyes, but her body remained obedient.
She continued to perform the comical circling.
Li Fan didn’t pay attention to her for the time being; instead, he pondered the reason for the current situation.
When the Old Fisherman handed Lu Xuejing over to Li Fan earlier, he described her as an “item.”
Clearly, in the Old Fisherman’s eyes, this inexperienced young girl belonged to him as an item.
Later, after obtaining the Sun Stealing Token, he exchanged it for this “item” and gave it to Li Fan.
As a result, the ownership of this item fell into Li Fan’s hands.
As the owner of the item, Li Fan naturally had the power to control everything about it.
Although he didn’t know how the Old Fisherman did it, judging from Lu Xuejing’s obedience to Li Fan’s orders, it had become an established fact.
“The description of her as an item is correct.”
“But where does the great use lie?”
A Foundation Establishment female cultivator, no matter how beautiful she may be, to Li Fan who was solely focused on achieving immortality, couldn’t be considered very useful.
“I wonder if…”
Thinking of this, Li Fan didn’t let Lu Xuejing stop circling and directly asked, “Tell me about your mother’s information.”
A hint of hope flashed in Lu Xuejing’s eyes as she intermittently said, “My mother’s name is Lu Xichan, the Chief Formation Master of the Formation Hall of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, with Dao Integration stage cultivation…”
As the girl’s words fell into his ears, Li Fan was shaken, and a gleam flashed in his eyes as he looked at Lu Xuejing.
“Chief of the Formation Hall, subworlds need to set up the Tianxuan Spirit Lock Formation, Five Element Subworlds…”
“Could it be?”
In an instant, Li Fan thought of a possibility.
“I don’t know what the Old Fisherman saw from me. But since he has presented this great opportunity to me, it must not be missed.”
“If I can probe some information about the Five Element Subworlds, even if I must regress directly, it will be worth it. If I can enter the Five Element Subworlds personally and observe it from the inside, it would be even better.”
Li Fan’s eyes were bright, and he felt somewhat excited.
However, he wasn’t carried away by this stroke of luck. He quickly calmed down.
“An Immortal Sage, and also the Chief Formation Master. Her strength must be unfathomable. Although I have gained control over her daughter now, if I want to directly use this as leverage to seek some benefits, I’m afraid I’d be asking for death.”
“I need to plan carefully on what to do next.”
After some time passed, seeing the anger in Lu Xuejing’s eyes gradually dissipate and return to her tearful, pleading expression, Li Fan slowly formed an idea in his mind.
“Stop!”
He finally shouted.
Lu Xuejing felt relieved and stopped her ridiculous movements.
“Alright, you can go home now,” Li Fan said directly.
Lu Xuejing was initially stunned, looking at Li Fan in disbelief.
Then, a hint of ecstasy surged on her face.
Regaining her freedom, she subconsciously wanted to flee from this place, away from Li Fan.
But her ears were filled with demonic whispers.
“Remember, the relationship between us is your most important secret. You cannot reveal even a hint of information to anyone in any way.”
“If anyone suspects, even just a bit…”
“Then…”
“You’ll kill yourself.”
Li Fan’s voice was incredibly cold.
Lu Xuejing’s body trembled slightly.
“After you go back, don’t say anything and act as usual. Wait quietly for my notification.”
“If someone asks, just say you were captured by the Old Fisherman and lost consciousness. Later, you were rescued by a stranger, but before you could express your gratitude, the benefactor had disappeared without a trace.”
A communication talisman flew to her side.
Li Fan’s voice echoed along with it.
“Keep it.”
“Alright, you can go now.”
Following her master’s orders, Lu Xuejing tucked away the communication talisman.
Without looking back, she flew off into the distance toward the horizon.
Li Fan squinted, watching the girl’s figure fade into the distance.
“Seeking the skin of a tiger, although extremely dangerous, once successful, rewards immeasurable benefits if successful.”
“As long as I’m a bit more careful, paying attention to any issues and retreating immediately if necessary, I can minimize the risks.”
“Perhaps, it’s not as dangerous as I imagined. The Old Fisherman’s methods are strange, and even I, as the party involved, couldn’t perceive them.”
“If the girl hadn’t been so unpleasant and displayed such obvious signs, I wouldn’t have thought such bizarre and unreasonable things could happen.”
“Wait a moment…”
In an instant, Li Fan seemed to realize something.
“This feeling, seems a bit similar to anomalies?”
In Li Fan’s mind, memories of the anomalies from the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace, along with the ox pulling the carriage for the Master, resurfaced.
“The Heavenly Calamity Sword is hidden in the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace, and everyone in the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace has transformed into an anomaly.”
“Is the owner of the Heavenly Calamity Sword also affected?”
“What exactly happened back then?”
Just as Li Fan was deep in thought, a strange feeling suddenly surged in his heart.
Looking up, he saw Lu Xuejing, who had been flying in the high sky, and had become just a black dot in the distance.
But suddenly, she plummeted straight down like a kite with a broken string.
Breaking many branches, she disappeared from Li Fan’s sight.
At the same time, an image suddenly flashed in Li Fan’s mind.
Lu Xuejing had an extremely painful expression on her face, with her body contorted as she rolled on the ground.
She was twitching all over.
It was as if she was a mortal without air or a fish out of water.
Struggling in despair.
Watching this scene before him, Li Fan seemed to understand something.
As the owner’s item, it could not leave its master without permission.
Although Li Fan had just said it verbally, he hadn’t exercised his rights as the owner.
This was because, at that time, he didn’t know what privileges he had over his own belongings.
But now, Li Fan had finally felt it firsthand.
