Outside the door, Yang Gang frowned as he eavesdropped. He had finally understood that it was Junior Sister who gave away the Sixth Grade Elixir, the Rebirth Reincarnation Pill, gifted by Senior Sister.
This was indeed a big deal.
Although the specifics were unclear, Yang Gang was certain that Junior Sister had been deceived by that guy.
To scam my Junior Sister, it’s simply unforgivable.
The roar from inside the room hadn’t ceased.
Xi Xi hunched her shoulders and listened obediently to Senior Sister’s furious yelling.
Exhausted from scolding, Meng Qingyao saw that her Junior Sister had her head down. Calming her anger, she softened her tone, "Do you realize your mistake now?"
"I do," Xi Xi responded weakly, then looked up expectantly, "Senior Sister, can you agree to let him become a disciple of the Taiwu Immortal Sect? That way, no one can stop him."
Seeing that her Junior Sister knew she was wrong, Meng Qingyao didn’t want to say much more. But then, she felt stifled inside—as if she’d said all that only for it to fall on deaf ears.
"Are you trying to make me angry to death?"
Xi Xi pleaded pitifully, "Senior Sister, you don’t know how pitiful he is. At that time, he was really about to die. Although the Rebirth Reincarnation Pill is very important, if it can save a life, it’s worth it."
"Moreover, it’s because of me that he became ."
"You always told me that in the cultivation path, there are karmic relations. If I don’t save him, I will have a heart tribulation, and when a disaster comes in the future, how can I overcome it? Don’t you agree?"
Meng Qingyao looked at her Junior Sister, speechless.
What was her Junior Sister thinking?
Seizing the opportunity now that her Senior Sister had stopped yelling, Xi Xi clung affectionately to her Senior Sister’s arm and whined, "Senior Sister, please help me out. I’ve already promised him, and if I fail, I’ll lose face."
"And I think he’s quite good. Our Xuanjian Peak has always been weaker than other peaks. Adding a person would make our Xuanjian Peak a lot stronger."
"You’re really paying a high price for this face-saving," Meng Qingyao had no choice, shaking her head helplessly, "Alright, alright, you little troublemaker. Later, take my token to handle his entry. But I will go see this person, I want to see what ability he has that made you plead for so long."
Xi Xi beamed with a face full of joy, cheering, "I knew Senior Sister was the best."
Lin Fan indeed didn’t wander around recklessly. Coming to this unfamiliar place, who knew what might happen?
Besides, this was their territory.
He still needed to be discreet.
With nothing better to do, he decided to check what had dropped.
[Earth Spirit Root Fragment.]
[Weak Bloodline of the Ancient Fierce Beast Qiongqi.]
Only two things had dropped in total.
Not very promising, the only thing that aroused curiosity was this bloodline.
[Weak Bloodline of the Ancient Fierce Beast Qiongqi: One of the Ancient Fierce Beasts, Qiongqi was known for its supreme ferocity and speed. After countless generations of mixing and breeding, the resulting weak bloodline often causes humans to explode or, in lighter cases, undergo beastification when fused.]
Lin Fan initially thought he might be able to fuse it and enhance his own strength, but it now seemed unsuited for him.
Of course, he had also brought back the entire corpse of the Ghost Tiger with the human face, so everything that could drop from it was included.
[Ghost Tiger Whip: A common demon beast organ, with no significant uses. However, it has a hidden use; it can be used to brew wine, producing a Yin-attribute medicinal wine that can harmonize Yin and Yang, achieving Yin-Yang balance.]
While Lin Fan was pondering these items, Xi Xi’s voice came from outside.
Xi Xi was in a great mood—Senior Sister really showed her love. After her repeated pleadings, Senior Sister finally agreed, saving her face and avoiding embarrassment.
Lin Fan stepped outside and saw Xi Xi approaching excitedly.
"I’ve taken care of it for you. From now on, you’re a disciple of the Taiwu Immortal Sect. I told you, as long as I talked to Senior Sister, there would be no problem. You villagers finally have hope," Xi Xi said.
"Thank you so much, Miss Xi," Lin Fan expressed his gratitude, realizing he’d met a kind person.
Upon hearing this title, Xi Xi was slightly displeased, "Why are you still calling me that? From now on, you should call me Senior Sister Xi."
Lin Fan looked at Xi Xi, "Impressive, my young lady."
But one must remain humble.
Just as Lin Fan was about to call out, an unfavorable voice interrupted.
"Are you the one who tricked my Junior Sister out of her elixir? I want to see how you managed to deceive my Junior Sister," Yang Gang’s angry voice came from afar.
He was quite content with his gossip.
As Junior Brother to Xi Junior Sister at Xuanjian Peak, he had the duty to protect her from being deceived by outsiders.
Not only did this guy coax her into bringing him back to the sect and have Senior Sister take him as a Taiwu Immortal Sect disciple, he even consumed Junior Sister’s elixir. It all seemed like a scheme, with Junior Sister being the deceived party.
What he saw shocked him.
"Is that a toad’s face?" Lin Fan couldn’t help blurting out, instantly feeling a strong killing intent surge toward him.
Yang Gang was about to explode with anger.
He had come to confront this kid and hadn’t even said anything yet, and this kid had already called his face a toad’s face.
Yang Gang’s face turned extremely dark.
Xi Xi quickly intervened with her mouth agape, "Senior Brother, don’t be impulsive, this is just a misunderstanding."
Lin Fan added, "Yes, truly a misunderstanding, no need to be impulsive."
Having just joined the Taiwu Immortal Sect, he didn’t want to immediately make enemies with people around him; it was too soon, and definitely not worth causing conflict over.
Building good relations was the real goal.
The master who just arrived—he was the ugliest Lin Fan had ever seen, full of acne. Aren’t cultivators supposed to be fair-skinned and handsome?
Thanks to Xi Xi’s intervention, Yang Gang didn’t go all out against Lin Fan, but the look he gave Lin Fan was enough to make it clear that he’d better watch out.
He was absolutely going to treat him as a key target and give him "special attention."
"Senior Brother, Lin Fan is now a disciple of our Xuanjian Peak, and your Junior Brother too. You need to have a forgiving heart; how can you have conflicts with your Junior Brother?" Xi Xi said.
"I haven’t acknowledged him yet," Yang Gang scoffed, adding, "Junior Sister, you’re too naive; you need to be more careful in the future."
Xi Xi sighed helplessly, not expecting things to turn out this way, "Senior Brother, it’s not like you think."
Yang Gang knew that telling Junior Sister anything wouldn’t help, "Kid, I’m watching you. You’d best not slip up."
Lin Fan suddenly realized that the people here were hard to deal with. Among them, the only one easy to get along with was indeed Xi Xi.
As for exposing any flaws? That simply wasn’t going to happen.
He hadn’t come to Taiwu Immortal Sect to cause trouble.
He was just planning to have some fun with Ye Zhen Tian.
