Luckily, Zhang Xuan was the one who said it. If Lin Fan was the one who said it from the start, the two young men behind him would have jumped out and hollered at him. 

  “Someone like you wants to be close friends with my elder. Why don’t you look in the mirror and see what you look like.” 

  Of course, that was what they thought at the start. 

  As for now, there was basically no need for them to say anything anymore. 

  How would they dare to say such words? Lin Fan had terrified them so badly that they didn’t dare to speak and or even fart. 

  Lin Fan’s gaze gave Zhang Xuan goosebumps and he felt like his gaze was really invasive and it made him feel really nervous. 

  If he was to say what he regretted the most, it was allowing his disciple to insult them. 

  Looking at his disciple now, he didn’t know what to say. 

  She was in a really pitiful state. 

  That sock was so far away from him and he could still smell that sour scent. As for his disciple that had the sock in her mouth, how serious and tragic was her treatment? 

  “Are you serious?” Lin Fan felt like this matter could be utilized. Zhang Xuan looked like someone who knew his own place. He knew that he couldn’t beat Lin Fan, so he admitted defeat. But to maintain his pride, becoming friends was his best choice. 

  Zhang Xuan said, “Of course I am serious. As they say, if people don’t fight, they don’t get close. Just let the past be the past. Moreover, Brother Lin, isn’t this a very small thing as well?” 

  Lin Fan smiled, “You are right, that is truly the case. But I still don’t see any sincerity. If you can show me your sincerity, then I will consider it.” 

  “Eh?” 

  Zhang Xuan was stunned. He panicked a little and felt that something was off. He asked nervously, “Brother Lin, although my disciple is naughty and arrogant, she shouldn’t be condemned to death for that, right? If you want me to kill her, I really can’t.” 

  Oh my god. 

  He felt that that was a little too much. 

  His disciple was a little arrogant but she shouldn’t have been condemned to death for that. She should have only been punished for it. 

  There was no need to be so vicious. Moreover, wasn’t shoving such a dirty sock into her mouth enough punishment already? 

  Lin Fan was stunned by Zhang Xuan’s thoughts. What was he thinking? When did he say that he wanted him to kill his disciple? 

  “What are you even thinking? When did I tell you to kill her? I mean that I lack some Dao Realm techniques and if you want to be my friend, why don’t you give me some?” Lin Fan said. 

  Zhang Xuan was stunned and muttered, “It is better if you kill my disciple.” 

  “What did you say?” Lin Fan frowned and he roughly picked up on what Zhang Xuan was saying but he didn’t hear it fully. 

  “Nothing.” Zhang Xuan shook his head. He could only think about it but obviously wouldn’t really do it. However, Lin Fan’s request was a little too much. 

  He actually wanted Dao Realm techniques. 

  As a Celestial Ascending Sect elder, naturally, he didn’t lack techniques but if he gave those techniques to others and the sect found out, it would be quite problematic. 

  “If you don’t even have this bit of sincerity and want to be my close friend, you really aren’t good enough for it.” Lin Fan said. 

  Even if Zhang Xuan didn’t want to tell him, he would make him tell him, but the only thing was that his actions were a little violent. 

  This was why he hoped that Zhang Xuan could cherish this opportunity. 

  He couldn’t regret it after he lost the opportunity. 

  Zhang Xuan was a little conflicted as he understood what Lin Fan was thinking. 

  With the current situation, Lin Fan obviously wanted secret techniques, so his words definitely didn’t mean anything. If he didn’t give it to him, he might not have been able to safely leave this place. 

  He was facing a tough situation. 

  “Okay, I am a generous person to my friends. Since my friend needs it, I won’t hesitate.” Zhang Xuan was firm when he said this but his heart was bleeding. 

  Very quickly, Zhang Xuan spoke of the three Dao Realm techniques. 

  As expected from the elder of a top sect, he managed to take out three right away. 

  “Brother Lin, what do you think about me? Am I very generous?” Zhang Xuan smiled. The smile was very bright but behind it, there was an expression helplessness and sadness. 

  “You are generous. I have not seen anyone as generous as you so far.” 

  Lin Fan praised him truthfully. 

  Anyway, out of all the people he had met, Zhang Xuan would be the top in terms of his ability to judge the situation. He was really decent. 

  Zhang Xuan smiled. “Brother Lin, now that we are close friends, although we don’t have a relationship basis, I believe that as time goes on, our friendship will be tougher than gold.” 

  The two disciples behind him lowered their heads and were a little stunned. Their mouths were slightly opened and they didn’t dare to say a word from start to finish. 

  The development was so weird. 

  A battle was about to occur but the situation suddenly changed and the elder actually became close friends. 

  This situation was a little complicated. 

  They felt that there was a story behind this and the elder was very soft. 

  Instantly, they thought about something terrifying; the elder couldn’t beat him which was why he would take a step back. Thinking about it, that was quite possible. 

  Lin Fan thought about it. 

  He didn’t do anything much towards Zhang Xuan. Sometimes one really had to use their brains. Zhang Xuan wasn’t a fool, so when they interacted with one another, it would be much simpler. 

  He needed rage points and Dao Realm techniques now. 

  Celestial Ascending Sect was a top sect and Zhang Xuan was an elder. If he did things well, it would be easy for him to get techniques from Zhang Xuan. 

  Lin Fan faked a smile, “Brother Zhang, you are right. Relationships are built slowly. Although we had a misunderstanding, it was just that and the truth will never be revealed. I believe that we will become good friends.” 

  A plastic relationship was created when both sides lied with their eyes wide open. 

  Ying ying~

  Zhang Xuan’s female disciple woke up and made a really unhuman sound. 

  The first thing she saw when she woke up was Lin Fan. She wanted to say something but she realized that her mouth was full and there was a thick smell from within. 

  She took out the sock right away and then gagged furiously. 

  The more she gagged, the more she was unable to vomit anything out. 

  She jumped up, “Master, kill him. Kill him and take revenge for me.” 

  The two guys felt their hearts ache when they saw their junior sister like that. At the same time, they looked at her pink mouth and felt that she looked really beautiful. 

  But when they thought about how those beautiful lips were stained by those dirty socks, their hearts felt a throbbing pain. 

  Zhang Xuan’s face turned cold and smacked her hand away. She chided, “Dumb disciple, shut up. Who are you saying that you want to kill? This person is my good friend. What do you mean by your words?” 

  Buzz buzz!

  When the girl heard those words, she felt a buzzing sound in her brain like it was about to explode. 

  What did he say? 

  What did Master say? 

  “Master, he treated me like that, so why aren’t you fighting for me?” The girl cried when she thought about how she was treated just now. Thinking about it, she felt terrified and cold. 

  “Shut up.” Zhang Xuan chided, “This is your senior. You should call him Senior Lin. If you continue behaving like this, I will chase you out of the sect and you will not be my disciple anymore.” 

  Zhang Xuan’s words were a little heavy. 

  The girl’s face turned white. She was so lawless due to her Master’s love for her. Other people allowed her to do so because of her master. 

  But if Master chased her out, then she would have nothing at all. 

  She was unhappy but that was just an emotional issue. If she didn’t handle herself, it wouldn’t just be an emotional issue but she would lose her master too. 

  When Zhang Xuan saw his disciple slowly calm down, he nodded in satisfaction. “Go apologize to Senior Lin.” 

  “Master…” 

  “Eh?” Zhang Xuan frowned. He opened his eyes like there were flames of rage burning in them. 

  The girl walked in front of Lin Fan and said, “Senior, I am wrong.” 

  Lin Fan felt really great to be called Senior at such a young age. Looking at her, she was a little older than him. He had been thinking about something: if one was strong enough, they could just do anything they wanted? 

  Right, that was correct. With strength, one could really do whatever they wanted… 

  Liang Yongqi pointed at Liang Yongqi. “It is useless to apologize to me. Apologize to him.” 

  The girl looked at Lin Fan and then turned her eyes to Liang Yongqi. 

  “Sorry.” 

  When she said these words, even her heart was dripping blood. She felt really reluctant. 

  But she had no choice. Since Master already told her that, she had no choice but to listen. 

  Gou’zi realized that the way the girl looked at him seemed a little off. Maybe it was because he had shoved his sock into her mouth. 

  Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction. “Eh not bad, you know how to repent. In the future, you must be careful.” 

  Zhang Xuan said, “Have you heard Senior’s words? Aren’t you going to thank him?” 

  The girl really wanted to smash her head into the wall to kill herself. 

  “Thank you, Senior, I will remember your words in my heart.” Min’er was what Zhang Xuan called this disciple. 

  “Eh, not bad. In the future, don’t mock others even if you want to. It depends on whether or not you have the strength.” Lin Fan felt great acting cool. That feeling was one that was hard to imagine. 

  Min’er didn’t know what to reply. No matter what he said, she could only accept it. 

  You were my senior.

  So, whatever you said was right.

  I really couldn’t offend you. I really couldn’t.

  The two disciples standing behind Zhang Xuan looked at Lin Fan with envy. Their ages were quite similar. 

  But why was the gap so huge? 

  This really annoyed them. 

  Lin Fan asked, “Where are you going?” 

  This was what Lin Fan wanted to ask.

  Chapter 413: If The Enemy Doesn’t Move, I Won’t Move Either

  “Brother Lin, I just wanted to bring my disciples out to take a look at the world and let them experience things to gain knowledge. I feel that my idea was just perfect. This disciple has been spoiled since young and if she doesn’t face any trouble, she would become too arrogant.” 

  Zhang Xuan laughed and naturally didn’t tell him the truth. 

  He couldn’t say that he was representing the sect to take a look and if no other sect had occupied this area, the Celestial Ascending Sect would stretch their hands into this place. 

  But he wasn’t a fool either. 

  He could see that there was a problem here. 

  The little brother here… no, this little brother should be called Brother Lin. His appearance and being a Sect Leader meant that the situation was different. 

  There was a high possibility that this territory was already occupied by his sect. 

  Brother Lin revealed that he was at Dao Realm Stage Two. That wasn’t weak already. If he was in a top sect, he would have been a top tier elder. 

  But one mustn’t forget about his age. 

  For him to have such a cultivation at such a young age meant that he would be respected. The experts of the sect would naturally choose to give up the position, to allow such a capable disciple to become the Sect Leader. 

  If their Celestial Ascending Sect had such a talented and strong disciple, they would have made him Sect Leader too. 

  After all, with high enough cultivation, it wouldn’t be an embarrassment. 

  Lin Fan laughed and muttered in his heart. 

  Zhang Xuan was not a simple person and the words he said were just too nice to the ears. This was what people loved. Not only were they fun, they knew how to speak too. 

  Min’er just stood beside her Master. 

  She didn’t want to say a single word as the situation had totally changed such that she didn’t know what to say. His relationship with Master was like they had been good brothers for many years. 

  She also had to call him senior which made her feel really frustrated. 

  Lin Fan said, “Eh, the young have to see more and learn more. If they face some things, then they will grow. Your disciple is indeed arrogant and needs to be taught a lesson or she will cause trouble. When that happens not even you can help her.” 

  As expected, one would get addicted if someone called them senior. 

  Even his words became deep and confident. 

  Zhang Xuan nodded and said, “Eh, Brother Lin’s words make sense. The world is huge and there are many experts around. My disciple isn’t strong but she is especially good at causing trouble. If she really offends an expert in the future, then that would be catastrophic.” 

  The two of them were very direct with one another. 

  One dared to speak and the other dared to reply. 

  This was basically the situation between them. 

  The teahouse had been empty for a long time. Lin Fan and Zhang Xuan just sat opposite one another like good friends. They talked about anything and even discussed the problems with the younger generation. 

  The two men who stood behind Zhang Xuan listened from start to finish and would occassionally size up Lin Fan. They then turned to Junior Sister and they were overwhelmed with a special emotion. 

  As time went on, they felt like the gap between the two was huge. 

  Damn. 

  They were around the same age but why was he so amazing while they were being treated as juniors and being lectured by him? 

  Suddenly, the atmosphere became silent. 

  Zhang Xuan exchanged glances with Lin Fan. Neither of them spoke and they just looked at one another. 

  Since the two seniors were talking, the juniors around didn’t dare to speak. They didn’t even dare to take a breath. 

  “Brother Lin, where is your sect? I would like to pay a visit.” Zhang Xuan smiled and asked. His smile was very friendly like he was saying that he had no other plans and just wanted to visit. 

  Lin Fan smiled, “Brother Zhang, do you want to know where my sect is to bring people from Celestial Ascending Sect to trample us?” 

  Zhang Xuan was stunned and didn’t expect Lin Fan to say that. He then laughed. “Brother Lin, that joke is not funny. Am I such a person? Since I’ve become good friends with you, naturally I want to get closer.” 

  Lin Fan said, “Oh, I was joking. But forget about the sect. You just need to tell me where Celestial Ascending Sect is, and when I have a chance, I will head there.” 

  The two of them exchanged glances and smiled. Slowly, both of them calmed down and their smiles disappeared. 

  What was the meaning of their words? No one knew but it just felt really weird. 

  Lin Fan was thinking that he definitely couldn’t tell Zhang Xuan where Martial Path Mountain was. Martial Path Mountain wasn’t strong enough and if they wanted to attack him, they could only run. 

  Before he reached a certain strength, he wouldn’t tell others where the sect was. 

  Zhang Xuan’s idea was similar to Lin Fan. 

  What did he mean? 

  He didn’t tell me where his sect was but wanted to know where Celestial Ascending Sect was?

  Did he want to bring people from his sect to scout and find out more about Celestial Ascending Sect? 

  If they realized that Celestial Ascending Sect was weaker than them, would he try to attack them? 

  This was why Zhang Xuan didn’t want to tell him their location before understanding more about each other. They both had the same thought. 

  “Hahaha, Brother Lin is right but as they say everything is up to fate. Fate is very mysterious. I think since we are fated with one another, even if we don’t know where each of our sects are, naturally we will still be able to meet one another. Is that right Brother Lin?” Zhang Xuan said. 

  He wouldn’t fall for Lin Fan’s tricks. 

  If you don’t say it, then I won’t either.

  It all depended on who couldn’t stop themselves from revealing infomation. 

  “Right, Brother Zhang is right.” Lin Fan smiled and agreed with what Zhang Xuan said. Anyway, he didn’t lose out this time and had obtained three Dao Realm techniques. 

  There was no need to overthink. 

  Moreover, he had spent enough time and didn’t want to waste more. 

  You should go where you want and stop wasting my time here.

  “Then…” Zhang Xuan thought about it. Forget it, he treated it as using the three techniques to buy his life. Moreover, he felt like there was no use in staying here and it was best if they just parted ways. 

  But he didn’t say that. 

  He felt like it wasn’t good for him to say it like it would show he didn’t respect the relationship. 

  Lin Fan didn’t mind and said directly, “Why don’t we just end here? I have something to attend to, so we will meet in the future?” 

  “Okay, then I won’t disturb Brother Lin. If there is a chance, then I will ask Brother Lin to visit Celestial Ascending Sect.” Zhang Xuan said. 

  “Sure sure.” Lin Fan smiled and waved his hands to ask Zhang Xuan to scram. He felt like leaving this person alive was much better than killing him. 

  Very quickly, the few of them left. 

  Lin Fan looked in the direction they left, deep in thought. There was too much sect movement recently and it was easy to bump into sect members outside. Especially those from the top sects who were really active. 

  Thinking about it, it made sense. 

  Now that many top sects took over land and expanded their territories, naturally, they became more active. 

  “Young Master, is it okay to let them go just like that?” Gou’zi asked softly. 

  Liang Yongqi looked at Gou’zi in shock and realized that Gou’zi had changed. He was once a servant but he sounded so confident now. He could maintain such coolness even when facing such an expert. 

  If Gou’zi knew what Liang Yongqi was thinking, he would shout loudly. 

  “Listen up, I am not the old Gou’zi anymore. I am now a Domain Realm, so Gou’zi please show some respect.” 

  Maybe it would shock Liang Yongqi to death. 

  Lin Fan said, “Nothing will happen. This person is smart. It is just that it will be a problem to mingle with him.” 

  That was what he was thinking. 

  Indeed, from the short conversation, he knew that he wasn’t a fool. 

  “Rage points +333.” 

  Yi! 

  Where did the rage points come from? 

  Did that fellow provide him with rage points after he left? 

  That was possible. 

  In the distance… 

  “Master, why do you have to be so polite with him? Would our Celestial Ascending Sect even need to be afraid of him?” Min’er was really unhappy. Till now, she was still thinking about how that person shoved the sock into her mouth. 

  It was humiliation that she wouldn’t be able to forget for the rest of her life. 

  Gou’zi’s socks were indeed really smelly. Any normal person wouldn’t have been able to take it. She just fainted right away from the stench. 

  It was really sad. 

  “I am afraid that all of you will die there.” Zhang Xuan looked at his disciple. She was just too dumb, and till now, still didn’t understand the situation. 

  Min’er was unwilling to accept it. “With Master there, what do we have to be afraid of?” 

  The two guys behind the old man didn’t dare to say anything. Although they didn’t have a full grasp of the situation, it seemed like they understood parts of it. 

  The elder needed to speak so politely with him which meant that this was a problem. 

  Lin Fan’s strength shouldn’t have been looked down upon and even an elder didn’t dare to be careless. 

  “You are really going to infuriate me to death. Do you think he is ordinary? Or do you think that Master is so strong? If I didn’t do that, then your life would have been lost.” Zhang Xuan was helpless. He didn’t realize in the past, but now, he noticed that this disciple’s intelligence was a huge worry. 

  What was the phrase? 

  If it was a pony or a horse one just had to take it for a stroll. 

  Who knew that after bringing this disciple out, he realized that this disciple was a problem? 

  Forgive him for being so direct with his words. 

  But he had no choice as that was really what he was thinking. 

  Min’er was shocked because she didn’t expect that her Master would say such words. 

  Zhang Xuan didn’t want to scold her, so he said nicely, “Disciple, after this matter, it is time for you to grow up. There will always be stronger people. Celestial Ascending Sect is strong but there are many stronger than Celestial Ascending Sect. Even Master might not be able to protect you.” 

  “It is very lucky that I was able to exchange your life for the three techniques.” 

  Actually, there was something he didn’t say. 

  Those three techniques helped to save his life too. 

  Of course, he definitely wouldn’t have said that. 

  Otherwise, he would lose all his face.
