All of the guests from other sects knitted their brows when they heard this.
They had felt that something was off when Lin Fan accepted the sparring request from this challenger.
But at the same time, they had felt a bit of disdain towards him for doing so.
Now…they realized that they had all been too naive.
He had accepted not because he was weak, but because he was confident.
He knew that his disciple would be able to take care of this challenger without a problem.
In fact, his disciple had even smashed in the face of this challenger to the point where it was too ugly to look at. So it was clear that she never had a problem facing this challenger in the first place.
They couldn’t help feeling silly how they had underestimated the Love Sect before this.
After everything they had seen, how could they think that there was anything that wasn’t normal about this place.
The only thought that they had on their minds now was…how to build a good relationship with the Love Sect.
As long as they were able to build a good relationship with the Love Sect, they would be able to gain all kinds of things.
An alliance with these powerful experts, access to this alchemist that could even make pill line pills, and all kinds of other things that they hadn’t seen yet.
After all, this was only what the Love Sect had been willing to show them.
Even a fool would be able to tell that this wasn’t everything that the Love Sect had.
A sect wouldn’t show all of their trump cards to others for no reason.
So they could be certain that making friends with the Love Sect was the best choice.
The only ones that were feeling bitter at this moment were the ones from the sect this challenger represented.
They had wanted to use this opportunity to make themselves famous by defeating the disciple of the Love Sect sect master. However, all they had done was drop a stone on their foot and make fools out of themselves.
But there wasn’t anyone to blame other than themselves since they had never thought that the disciple of the Love Sect sect master would be this strong.
They had even prepared all of this and it hadn’t been of any use.
After all, they never thought that Xiao Ming would also be hiding her power.
Once the challenger backed down, Lin Fan couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed.
Was that it?
That was all he could think as he watched this young man leave.
He had thought that there would be much more to this plot, but it seemed that he had overestimated this challenger…
But since there wasn’t anything else to come, there wasn’t anything else that he needed to do.
After all, he had already achieved everything that he needed.
As a cultivator, his hearing was quite powerful, so he was able to hear the murmurs coming from around him.
He was able to see that he had already achieved the goal that he wanted to achieve with this fight, so there was no need to drag it on.
Since everything had been settled, Lin Fan gave a slight nod to Senior Brother Ying.
Senior Brother Ying understood this nod and said, “We would like to thank everyone for coming to our sect’s sparring today. We hope that we were able to put on a good show for everyone today.”
When the guests from the other sects heard this, they were all surprised since they didn’t think that the Love Sect would end it this quickly.
After all, they didn’t even have a chance to build a relationship with the Love Sect.
If they were sent packing just like this, where would the future of their sects go?
But their hopes were lifted again by Senior Brother Ying’s next words.
“For the friends that have come from afar, we have prepared a small gathering for all of you to attend. We hope to deepen our relationship with all of these friends who have come from afar.”
There was a smile with a deeper meaning on his face as he said this.
Those that understood his smile all revealed smiles of their own.
This was it, this was the opportunity that the Love Sect was giving them.
They wouldn’t miss this chance!
For those that this didn’t involve, they all left the arena with satisfied looks on their faces.
They were able to see these spars between these cultivators, this was something that these mortals normally would never have the chance to see.
This inspired many of the mortals to see if there was some way for them to join the Love Sect through connections.
They couldn’t join the Love Sect through the main door, but if they took a back door and were lucky enough to join the Love Sect, that was good enough for them.
Anyone who saw the sparring today would know that the Love Sect’s future was limitless. They would want to join the Love Sect while they still could, while it was still within their reaches.
The guests from the sects followed the disciples of the Love Sect to the banquet hall that had been prepared.
This banquet hall was already fully prepared to welcome these guests.
When they arrived, there were all kinds of delicious dishes and wine that were brought in.
The guests had wanted to hold back, but they couldn’t help themselves once they smelled the fragrance coming from the dishes. Even if they were cultivators, they found that they weren’t able to resist at all.
These dishes were dishes that had been prepared by Duanmu Ming Yue with ingredients that came from the Dungeon Master System. It could be said that these were better than even the dishes prepared in the royal palace.
At the same time, the wine also came from the Dungeon Master System, so this was wine that was out of this world.
Since it technically didn’t come from this world…
With good food and wine, the mood of the banquet became very festive and many people lost themselves. They couldn’t control themselves once they became too drunk, so it actually became quite rowdy.
But that mood instantly settled the moment that Lin Fan walked in with the elders.
They had only been able to let themselves go because Lin Fan and the other members of the Love Sect hadn’t come yet. They were using this as an excuse to let themselves blow some steam after what they had seen today.
However, when Lin Fan and the other members of the Love Sect came, they immediately forced themselves to calm down.
After all, there was still something that they needed to do.
They couldn’t just let themselves lose control under the influence of the wine.
After Lin Fan arrived, he raised a cup and said, “I wish to welcome all of these guests that have come from afar. This is our Love Sect’s first time opening ourselves up to guests, so we hope that we did a proper job welcoming everyone.”
When they all heard this, they couldn’t help giving secret bitter laughs.
A good job?
You did more than that!
You practically gave all of us a heart attack with all the things that you’ve shown us!
Couldn’t you have held back a bit!
That was what they had wanted to scream at Lin Fan in return for what he said, but they couldn’t say it in the end.
All they could do was applaud in response to this to try and suck up to him.
Lin Fan waited for the applause to end before he continued by saying, “Now, let’s all use this as a chance to get to know each other better. I hope that in the future, all of our sects can get along.”
When they heard this, the eyes of all the guests from the other sects lit up.
This was what they had been waiting for the entire time.
This was their chance to suck up to the Love Sect and build a relationship with them.
As long as they were able to build a relationship with the Love Sect, they would have access to the many benefits of being an ally of the Love Sect.
For example, the many different incredible medicines that they had shown today.
So they would do their best to build that relationship.
Of course, the best way to do that was to…offer gifts.
The best way to one’s heart was material goods and all of these guests from the various sects knew that. That was why they had all come with Storage Rings that were loaded with items that they had been prepared to give to the Love Sect.
As for how much they would give them, that all depended on the Love Sect’s performance.
With the performance that the Love Sect had given, all of these guests immediately thought about taking out everything that they had.
There were some that even thought that what their sects had given them weren’t enough, so they were thinking about supplementing it from their own storage.
In short, everyone was about to give gifts to the Love Sect.
The Love Sect also knew this, which was why this banquet had been prepared.
Lin Fan sat at the head table and the guests formed a crowd.
It was a crowd, but also a line where they were all waiting to give gifts to Lin Fan.
That was the true purpose of this banquet.
