Lin Fan revealed a bitter smile when he saw that it was Mu Bao Bao who had taken action.
With that bitter smile on his face, he said, “Didn’t I tell you not to do anything to draw attention to yourself?”
Mu Bao Bao had a stern look on her face as she posed there, but hearing what Lin Fan had said, that turned into an awkward look.
That was because she was indeed going against what he had said by taking action here.
So she couldn’t help pouting her lips and saying, “Well…they were the ones that attacked our Love Sect. I was just…”
Lin Fan shook his head with a sigh before saying, “You should know what will happen if you keep showing yourself like this. You should trust that we’ll be able to take care of this.”
Mu Bao Bao didn’t react at first, but then she slowly gave a nod.
She knew that she had let her emotions take control of her, but she couldn’t help it.
If it was anything else, she might not act this way, but the Love Sect was her family.
If there was something that threatened it, she wanted to take care of that something.
Lin Fan just patted her head before saying, “Hide yourself for now and I’ll take care of this mess.”
Mu Bao Bao gave a nod before disappearing.
When the dust settled, Lin Fan was the one that stepped out and took credit for what Mu Bao Bao had done.
The guests from the various sects couldn’t help looking at Lin Fan with shocked looks.
They didn’t know much about this sect master of the Love Sect, but they had heard that he had strange powers…
That spiritual energy sword just now…it had power equal to someone in the Golden Core Realm. However, they could clearly sense that this sect master of the Love Sect was only in the Qi Condensation Realm.
Was he really that powerful that he could release an attack in the Golden Core Realm so casually?
If that was the case, they really needed to think about how they would treat the Love Sect in the future…
But Lin Fan didn’t care about any of this.
The first thing that he did was make sure that the kid who was the target was alright.𝔬𝓋𝓵xt.𝓬𝒐𝓂
He was the cause of this entire mess, so Lin Fan still had to settle accounts with him.
If he was dead, then naturally there would be nothing left to settle with.
Then after making sure that this kid was alright, Lin Fan went to check on Senior Brother Ying and the other elders.
He was less worried about them since they were powerful Qi Condensation Realm Cultivators
Even if the assassins had blown themselves up, this was only with the power of the Foundation Realm. It was impossible for them to hurt the Qi Condensation Realm elders of the Love Sect in the first place.
The only reason that they had blown themselves up was to create a distraction for the assassin that had been able to hide themselves from everyone.
As long as that assassin had succeeded, then their plan would have been a success.
It was just too bad that it hadn’t.
Once the smoke cleared, Senior Brother Ying and the other elders were revealed to not have a single scratch on them.
Their barriers had been more than enough to block the explosions even if they had been put up hastily. These were barriers that had been released by Qi Condensation Realm Cultivators, so there was no way that they would be that weak.
After they gathered themselves, they all turned to look at the spiritual energy sword on the ground before looking at Lin Fan.
It was clear by the looks on their faces that they could already guess what happened.
However, there was a trace of shame on their faces.
If it hadn’t been for their carelessness, this wouldn’t have happened and Mu Bao Bao wouldn’t have needed to make a move like this.
They would need to reflect on themselves in the future.
Since Lin Fan had come out, it was much easier for Senior Brother Ying to take care of this matter.
He turned to the guests and said, “We have finished taking care of the intruders. Please relax and enjoy watching the end of our recruitment test.”
With that he turned to the disciples and had them continue the test.
Once that was taken care of, he went with Lin Fan and most of the elders to a building that had been set up for the recruitment test.
This was the area where they had stored all the pillars and where all the people working behind the scene gathered.
While those working behind the scene were surprised to see Senior Brother Ying with Lin Fan and the elders, they didn’t let that delay them as they headed off to take care of their matters.
Senior Brother Ying led their group to a small room where they put the kid who had been targeted into a chair before surrounding him.
When he was surrounded by all of these powerful cultivators, the kid couldn’t help trembling in fear.
Seeing this, all of them revealed bitter smiles before backing off.
They weren’t actually here to blame this kid, but rather to find out what his story was.
After all, it wasn’t just anyone who could be assassinated like this.
So after all the other elders backed down, Senior Brother Ying asked, “Well, what is your story?”
The kid took a deep breath, but he didn’t say anything.
Senior Brother Ying didn’t mind this and instead calmly asked, “Then can you at least tell us your name?”
The kid looked around him before slowly saying, “Huang Xie.”
After this kid said his name, the elders around him couldn’t help slightly knitting their brows.
After all, the surname Huang seemed familiar to them.
They didn’t know where they had heard it before, but they could have sworn that they had heard it before.
Senior Brother Ying gave a nod before saying, “We want to help you, but before we know why they are after you, we won’t be able to do anything. You understand, right?”
Huang Xie looked up at Senior Brother Ying before slowly giving a nod.
After taking a deep breath, he told his story to Senior Brother Ying.
He was an illegitimate son of the head of the Huang Family and the ones that had been sent after him were sent by his father to eliminate this wild seed of the Huang Family.
His mother had been a maid for the Huang Family until she was assaulted by the Huang Family Head.
When it was found out that she was pregnant, they had wanted to kill her, but she had been able to escape in the end.
The two of them had lived a simple life in a village far away from the Huang Family until they had been discovered one day.
Once they had been discovered, the Huang Family had sent assassins after them.
Huang Xie had only been able to escape because his mother had stopped the assassins to let him escape.
He thought that joining the Love Sect and learning cultivation would be the only way for him to escape the Huang Family. Or at the very least, the Huang Family assassins wouldn’t dare attack him while he was in the Love Sect.
That was what he had thought, but it didn’t turn out to be the case.
Once he finished telling his story, Huang Xie lowered his head and said, “I’m sorry for all the trouble that I’ve caused.”
After hearing this story, the elders couldn’t help slightly knitting their brows.
After all, they had finally remembered why they thought the surname Huang was so familiar.
There was a ducal family named the Huang Family in the Mu Empire.
This kid was an illegitimate son from one of the ducal families.
If they took him in, it would mean causing trouble for Mu Bao Bao who was now the empress of the Mu Empire.
But it was different from Lin Fan.
After he heard this kid’s story, he could only think of a single thing.
Wasn’t this a main character?
No matter how he looked at it, Huang Xie’s story was that of a main character.
He was the illegitimate son of a prominent family who was being oppressed by said family, so he was turning to a cultivation sect to begin his journey. As he struggled in the sect, he would eventually become the most powerful person in the world.
This was like the opening of any novel…
Now the only thing missing was a system or some kind of old grandpa to teach him…
No, he couldn’t let this chance go!
He had a system, so why couldn’t he be the old grandpa that taught him?
No, he wouldn’t be the old grandpa, he would be the young grandpa!
The one thing that he refused to be was the older mentor because those older mentors would always die or get crippled in some way.
So no matter what, he couldn’t allow himself to be that older mentor!
After these thoughts passed through Lin Fan’s mind, he gave a cough and said, “Are you willing to take me as your master?”
Everyone looked at Lin Fan in shock the moment that he said this.
Huang Xie was the most shocked as he looked at Lin Fan with wide eyes.
After all, he had seen him walk out after that spiritual energy sword was thrown.
That spiritual energy sword had left a deep impression on him.
