Before Huang Xie could answer though, the others immediately stood up and pulled Lin Fan out of the room.
Senior Brother Ying turned to Huang Xie and before pulling Lin Fan out, he said, “Just give us a moment.”
Huang Xie had no choice but to give a dazed nod when he heard this.
Once they were out of the room, the elders immediately surrounded Lin Fan and looked at him with glaring expressions as if they were blaming him. Though they did have a reason to blame him since he suddenly offered to take Huang Xie as a disciple.
Senior Brother Ying spoke for the rest of them and said, “Sect master, are you serious about this? Are you really going to take this kid as your disciple? You should know what that means, right?”
Lin Fan gave a nod before saying, “I do, but I’m ready to accept the consequences.”
They all deeply knitted their brows when they heard Lin Fan’s response before looking at him like he was just giving them trouble on purpose.
But Lin Fan didn’t back down as he said, “I have a reason for doing this. I know what it seems like, but I hope that you will all trust me in this matter.”
But the elders still looked at him with knitted brows before Senior Brother Ying said, “You do understand what kind of position this puts Junior Sister Mu in as the empress of the Mu Empire, right?”
Lin Fan gave another nod, but this time his nod was much slower than before and his expression revealed a bit of hesitation.
Of course he knew what position this would put Mu Bao Bao in, this was the only thing that he hesitated over when he made this decision. But in the end, he decided that it was better for them to accept Huang Xie instead of turning him away to his fate facing the Huang Family alone.
Lin Fan was certain that taking Huang Xie in was the right choice because he had used his Appraisal Eyes on him.
Heaven’s Chosen.
That was the title that Huang Xie had.
Once he saw this title, he knew that his decision had been made.
Instead of turning away the one chosen by the heavens, he would take him in and nurture him into a powerful expert that the sect could depend on one day.
When comparing the two, offending the Huang Family was much more worth it.
If they turned this Heaven’s Chosen away and he held a grudge against them…it would only be a matter of time before he came back for his revenge.
So Lin Fan just said, “I’ll talk to Bao Bao myself. I know how this looks, but I do have my reason for doing this.”
After looking at him like this for a bit longer, Senior Brother Ying finally gave a sigh and said, “Alright, we’ll trust you. I hope that you know what you’re doing.”
The other elders nodded in agreement to Senior Brother Ying’s statement.
Lin Fan just said with a smile, “Don’t worry, you’ll see one day. It’ll take a while, but you’ll understand why I’m doing this.”
All of the elders gave another sigh, but they didn’t say anything.
They wished that they could have shared the same enthusiasm as Lin Fan, but they really couldn’t.
So all they could do was think of ways to take care of the Huang Family when they came.
After settling this matter, Lin Fan went back into the room alone.
The others had wanted to follow, but he stopped them and said that he needed to do this alone.
When he came back in, he found that Huang Xie was lost in thought.
This was a Heaven’s Chosen as expected, he was able to keep his calm even in a situation like this.
But this was only Lin Fan’s misconception.
Huang Xie was just worried about his own safety.
When he saw Lin Fan, the only person who defended him after finding out that he was the illegitimate son of the Huang Family being taken away, he had been worried that they would turn him over.
But when he saw Lin Fan come back alone, he couldn’t help relaxing a bit.
He didn’t know why, but he felt a bit assured with Lin Fan at his side.
Was it because he had saved him?
Though the one that had saved him was actually Mu Bao Bao…
After Lin Fan came in, he said with a smile, “Well, have you thought it through? Will you become my disciple?”
Huang Xie was once again taken aback when Lin Fan made this offer.
He looked at Lin Fan with a strange look before slowly asking, “Why…Why do you want me as your disciple? Are you going to use me for something or do you want something from the Huang Family?”
Lin Fan shook his head with a bitter smile when he heard this before saying, “I can sense the potential in you and I want to take a gamble on you even if it means offending the Huang Family.”
Huang Xie didn’t look convinced after hearing this and he looked at Lin Fan with a doubtful look.
No matter how he looked at it, there was nothing to gain from Lin Fan accepting him as a disciple, so he couldn’t help being doubtful of his intentions.
But Lin Fan was fully committed because he was the Heaven’s Chosen, so he had no hidden agenda at all.
The two sides weren’t connecting, so there was a long silence as Huang Xie didn’t know what to do.
He knew that if he rejected this request, then it would be impossible for him to stay in the Love Sect. Once that happened, he would be chased down by the assassins of the Huang Family and die in a ditch.
But if he did accept, then would he be used by the sect master for something…
In the end though, Huang Xie slowly came around to staying in the Love Sect.
In the end, the Love Sect’s sect master had been the only one to protect him…so could he trust him?
Lin Fan could see that he was slowly coming around, so he said with a smile, “The Love Sect is a family, so you don’t need to worry about your old family anymore. We will accept you regardless of what circumstances you have, so you don’t need to worry.”
He was attacking this Heaven’s Chosen with his weakness.
His desire for a family.
After hearing Huang Xie’s story, Lin Fan knew that he wanted a real family more than anything, so he would be using that to convince him to join the Love Sect as his disciple.
Huang Xie looked like he was starting to falter in his decision. He seemed like he was slowly being convinced by Lin Fan to join the Love Sect.
After a long silence, he said, “But I don’t have any talent for cultivation, so if I become your disciple…”
Lin Fan just said with a smile, “If I didn’t know what talents you have, do you really think that I would take you as a disciple?”
Huang Xie couldn’t help being surprised by this.
But when he thought about it, he realized that Lin Fan was right.
Earlier, Lin Fan had already said that he saw potential in him…then did that mean that he could really become a powerful cultivator and take his revenge on the Huang Family.
The more that he thought about it, the more convinced he became until finally…
Huang Xie stood up from the chair and fell to one knee in front of Lin Fan as he said, “Huang Xie greets master.”
Lin Fan gave a nod before saying, “Good choice.” Then as if he remembered something, he added, “You already have a senior sister, I’ll introduce you later.”
Without waiting for Huang Xie to say anything, Lin Fan walked out with a satisfied look on his face.
Senior Brother Ying and the other elders waiting outside saw him come out, so they all looked at him with inquisitive looks.
Lin Fan just casually said, “Help me prepare a place for my new disciple.”
Senior Brother Ying and the other elders revealed bitter smiles, but he still gave a nod in the end.
Lin Fan walked off with a satisfied feeling.
He had been able trick a Heaven’s Chosen into taking him as a master.
As long as he was able to raise this Heaven’s Chosen, the Love Sect’s rise was a certain thing.
He was even hoping that there would be a few more of them that came to his Love Sect, but he also knew that this was nothing more than wishful thinking.
Heaven’s Chosen, these were the sons and daughters of the heavens that were blessed by nature.
How could there be that many of them?
As he was walking away, Lin Fan was thinking about how to train Huang Xie. 𝑂𝑽𝓵xt.𝕔𝒐𝗆
With his Appraisal Eyes, he had already seen everything about Huang Xie.
Huang Xie’s talents were…average. No, they were even considered below average.
But the reason for that was because of the Huang Family’s interference.
They had poisoned him and sealed his natural physique, but as long as that poison was detoxified, his true abilities would come out.
This might be hard for others since the antidote for this poison was rare, but it was easy for him to obtain because of the Dungeon Master System. All he needed to do was exchange for it.
Another thing he had to consider was Huang Xie’s cultivation technique.
Huang Xie wasn’t suited for the Love Sect’s cultivation technique…so he would need to find a new one for him.
But once again, that was where the Dungeon Master System came in.
As long as he had a system and the Heaven’s Chosen, there was no way that Huang Xie wouldn’t be able to become a powerful expert.
When the time came, all he had to do was hug Huang Xie’s leg and live a good life.
