"But."

Lin Fan said calmly: "Although it is just a guess, it still needs to be considered in light of cause and effect."

"And if I'm not mistaken, your master is actually the founder of the Lanyue Sect."

"···, of course." Ji Bochang responded as a matter of course.

“No, no, no, that’s not what I meant.” Lin Fan shook his head: “What I meant was that he is the founder of the Lanyue Sect where I am. Strictly speaking, we are really from the same family.”

"As for whether you believe it or not... let me tell you a story first."

He immediately told Ji Bochang the history of the rise and fall of the Lanyue Sect in the Xianwu Continent. Of course, he omitted the process and experience of developing the Lanyue Sect after he became the sect leader.

"Anyway."

"Since then, the founder of the Lanyue Sect and the Holy Mother of the Wanhua Holy Land have disappeared."

"The rumor out there is that they loved and hated each other and died together."

"But in fact..."

"Hi."

“It disappeared suddenly.”

"It's just that Wanhua Holy Land wanted to save face, so they deliberately said that we would perish together."

"Before, I didn't know where they went, but now it seems that they quietly ascended to the upper realm and founded the Lanyue Sect in the upper realm."

"And you are their disciple."

"As for your little junior sister..."

"Let me guess."

"She should be the daughter of your master and his wife, right?"

Ji Bochang: “!!!”

"this···"

The corner of his mouth twitched: "You..."

"Could it be that the leader of the Lanyue Sect from the lower realm has really ascended here?"

"how?"

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Do you know about this past?"

"If that's the case, then it's easy to deal with."

Ji Bochang frowned: "I don't know, but what you said is reasonable, and... our Lanyue Sect has always been secluded in a corner, so it is unlikely that you know the information about our Lanyue Sect."

"But your 'guess' is..."

"Unless your pupil technique can see through my inner thoughts, it is absolutely impossible for you to say these!"

Lin Fan laughed in silence: "You worry too much."

"I used pupil technique to prevent you from lying."

"understand."

Ji Bochang nodded gently and said, "But I can't be sure whether what you said is true or false..."

“It’s very simple.”

Lin Fan snapped his fingers: "Call someone."

"Little monkey also couldn't be sure of the truth and couldn't make the decision, so he asked me to come over. Since you can't be sure, why don't you ask someone else to come over, your master or mistress, or even both of them?"

"It's better to confront each other face to face than to guess."

“···”

“That makes sense!”

Ji Bochang nodded, thinking it made sense.

only···

He was a little worried.

What if this Lin Fan is actually the enemy of Master or Master’s Wife?

However, considering that the other party was only at the fourteenth level of cultivation, which was not much higher than his own, he was not too worried.

Humph, how could Master and Madam Mistress be afraid of him?

Even if he is really an enemy, you can kill him back!

In this case...

Then call someone!

He took out a special jade talisman, took a deep breath, injected a divine thought into it, and then crushed it.

Snap!

The jade talisman shattered, and the array pattern on it was activated. The divine thought escaped into the void at an extremely fast speed and disappeared in an instant.

"I have already sent the message back."

Ji Bochang clapped his hands and said, "Next, we just have to wait."

"Is it far?"

Tang Sanzang stroked his chin and said, "If it's far, I suggest you wait at the entrance of your small world. It's safer and more reliable."

He just means well.

After all, this place is not far from the "Western Paradise". If we meet here, it would be very troublesome if we are targeted by the Buddhists.

But Ji Bochang was quite alert and said, "Not far, not far."

"I ran into you guys not long after I left the sect, otherwise this wouldn't have happened."

"oh?"

Tang Sanzang nodded, without commenting, and said with a smile: "That's quite a coincidence."

"It's a coincidence."

Ji Bochang no longer said anything.

Too much talk leads to mistakes.

As for taking them to the entrance of the small world to wait, this is absolutely not possible.

What's the difference between acting like this and inviting a wolf into the house?

Although I don't have much experience in life, I still understand this principle.

His eyes were rolling around, and it was obvious that he was not calm and his mind was very active.

only···

Ji Bochang's appearance is a bit shifty, especially because of his small eyes.

At this moment, the "stolen feeling" is so strong that it makes people laugh.

······

Inside the 'Lan Yue Sect'.

'Junior Sister' is having a bad temper.

"father!!!"

"mother!"

"Why can the eldest brother go out but I can't?"

"I want to go out and explore the world, too!"

"I want to contribute to the revitalization of the sect. I can do it too!!!"

"How long are you going to keep me locked up? Are you going to keep me locked up for life?"

“That’s too much!”

"I'm so sad, woooo..."

“···”

"If you don't agree to my going out and exploring the world, I will commit suicide!"

“Ahhhh, I’m going to die.”

“···”

However.

Even though this junior sister tried every possible means including crying, making a fuss, and threatening to hang herself, it was still useless.

But...suddenly, a stream of light broke through the air.

The little sister's eyes were sharp, and her expression changed slightly: "Dad, Mom, something happened to the eldest brother, and he is asking for help!"

Two figures flashed over at the same time, and the man among them grabbed the streak of light. At this moment, the expressions of the three of them were extremely solemn.

"Xiao Ji has only been out for a few days? He has already resorted to seeking help, and now... the outside world is already in such a mess?"

Master's Wife couldn't help but worry: "The Fourteenth Realm, can't even last for a month?"

She couldn't help but look at her daughter.

Fortunately, she was not allowed to go out.

Otherwise, with her strength and curious nature, she would have probably asked for help a long time ago, right?

Nowadays, in this world...

Both mother and daughter were extremely nervous and stared at the "master".

but···

The other person's expression kept changing.

From the initial solemnity and worry, to astonishment, and then to disbelief...

In the end, there was only excitement left!

“?!”

The mother and daughter looked at each other, both stunned.

Isn’t that Ji Bochang’s message for help?

Why are you excited?

"Don't worry!"

Fortunately, the 'master' did not keep us in suspense and immediately explained: "It was the message Ji Bochang sent back, but it was not a request for help, but... a piece of good news."

"Great news!"

"How big is it?" The junior sister blinked.

The Master's Wife knew her man very well. After a brief pause, she suddenly raised her head and asked, "Could it be news related to the Lanyue Sect?"

The junior sister was completely confused.

"Dad, Mom, what are you talking about?"

"What do you mean by news related to the Lanyue Sect?"

"Isn't that our news?"

"Brother went out and sent back our news? Why don't I understand?"

"It's right that you don't understand." The master's wife laughed.

The 'Sect Master' sighed quietly.

"Come to think of it, this is my fault."

The master's wife was silent: "..., blame me."

The clan leader grabbed her hand and said lovingly, "Don't blame you, blame me for not explaining it to you clearly. Otherwise, how could this happen?"

"But now, you and I... can both rest assured!"

It’s a long story what happened back then.

But the final result is undisputed.

The two of them 'eloped'!

It seems like they are living together, traveling far away, and there is nothing wrong with them being a perfect couple.

But···

This is just the surface!

They are comfortable and living together.

But what about Lanyue Sect? !

Because of his previous misunderstanding, he was too reckless and led the Lanyue Sect to confront the Wanhua Holy Land, and ended up being beaten like a dog. In fact, if she had not been a saint and taken their old friendship into consideration, the Lanyue Sect would have been destroyed long ago.

But even so, under the suppression of Lanyue Sect, Lanyue Sect is bound to be "dead".

There is even no need for the Lanyue Sect to take action. As long as the Wanhua Holy Land expresses its stance, countless forces will naturally take action together to erode the Lanyue Sect.

Before they eloped, the Lanyue Sect was already on the verge of defeat.

It's a sign of defeat!

The sect he founded and raised with all his own efforts has now become top-notch and is about to become super first-class.

As a result, because of this mess...

The worst thing is that for the sake of his and her safety, he had no choice but to elope and abandon the Lanyue Sect...

What is this called?

We were about to fight to the death, why did the leader flee first?

Therefore, this has always been a knot in the hearts of both of them!

A knot that cannot be untied.

It almost turns into a demon in their heart, tormenting them all the time.

It's really uncomfortable, but they really can't solve it.

Feeling guilty!

Worried about the Lanyue Sect.

Worried about all the disciples of Lanyue Sect

Worry···

That is to say, she had asked Gu Xinglian to take care of the Lanyue Sect, and at least preserve its tradition and heritage. Otherwise, their inner demons would have erupted long ago.

After arriving in the upper realm, they have been practicing in seclusion, but they are also waiting quietly.

However, thousands of years have passed and there is still no news at all.

This made them even more worried.

And now.

Suddenly there is news from the Moon-Raising Sect in the lower world???

this···

marvelous!

"I'll go and take a look."

He immediately spoke up, firmly saying: "No matter what, at least... we need to know what the Lanyue Sect is like now."

"Let's see what I can do for them."

"I'll go too!" She looked extremely determined and said, "This matter started because of you and me, so we have no choice but to do it!"

"Besides, maybe we can also get some news about Xing Lian's child."

"Okay."

"We will go together."

The couple smiled at each other.

The 'Junior Sister' was anxious: "I want to go too, I want to go too!"

"If you don't take me with you, I will really hang myself!!!"

“···”

"You kid!"

The couple laughed and cursed.

immediately···

They set off.

He didn't even pack his belongings and just left.

······

Two days later.

In an extremely uneasy mood, Ji Bo often appeared within their spiritual awareness range.

"arrive!"

"Um?"

"Why is there a monkey and a monk?"

“That child…!”

The couple soon realized that there was the aura of the Moon Swallowing Immortal Art in Lin Fan's body.

but···

But it is different.

It is the Moon-Swallowing Immortal Art.

But not all!

"But at least it is enough to prove that this child has some connection with our Lanyue Sect. Moreover, he has reached the Fourteenth Realm?!"

“This is really…”

“It’s wonderful!”

At this moment, he was in an especially happy mood.

excited!

I was always worried about my 'mother's family' being in danger, worried that they would be hungry, cold or bullied, but...

Now when I see her again, I find that my mother's family is actually doing quite well. Not to say they are that powerful, but at least they have some ability to protect themselves. Moreover, they seem to be quite rich?

This, this, this···

They couldn't help but speed up.

Although there was a feeling of "homesickness", it did not hinder their progress.

Swish, swish, swish~!

Soon, three figures appeared behind Ji Bochang.

Lin Fan had already discovered them.

Tang Sanzang raised his eyebrows slightly and slowly stood behind Lin Fan.

Among these three people...

There are two people whose cultivation levels are so high that even I cannot see through them~!

Don't be careless!

Lin Fan was relatively relaxed, but it was impossible for him to completely relax his vigilance.

Because, among the three people who suddenly appeared in front of him, although this middle-aged man was the first time he saw him, in fact, he had been "spiritually acquainted with him for a long time".

It is exactly the same as the portrait of the founder of Lan Yue Sect.

Moreover, he did not see any signs of transformation techniques on him.

So···

Obviously.

It's him!

The founder of Lanyue Sect, Ren Xiaoyao!

Not only Lin Fan, Sun Wuxia also recognized Ren Xiaoyao and couldn't help but exclaimed: "The portrait of the ancestor has come to life?"

"You monkey."

Lin Fan burst out laughing: "What do you mean the portrait of the founder has come to life? If I'm not mistaken, this is the founder of our Lanyue Sect."

In fact, Lin Fan's mood was a little complicated at the moment.

Because Ren Xiaoyao is the founder of the Lanyue Sect.

And if I bring the Lan Yue Sect to meet him, there might be some messy and bloody things happening.

For example, if Ren Xiaoyao is a person with a strong sense of career and ambition, then if I recognize him, it is possible that the situation of "welcoming the two saints" will occur.

Find an ancestor for the Lanyue Sect!

Even if I am smart, I have to listen to him.

Even if...

Ren Xiaoyao wants to be the leader of the Lanyue Sect again!

Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with this. In fact, if Lin Fan wanted to snatch the position of sect leader, he would be despised by the world and criticized for not respecting his teacher.

If this matter really gets out of hand, it will be very troublesome!

This is not just Lin Fan's own fantasy, nor does it mean that he suffers from paranoia.

It's something that could really happen.

But Lin Fan still chose to recognize the other party, naturally he had his own considerations.

As the saying goes, choose the lesser of two evils!

If the two Lanyue Sects could be 'merged', then he would be able to share the cultivation, combat power, skills, talents, etc. of Ren Xiaoyao's family and Ji Bochang. In this way, his combat power would definitely increase significantly!

No matter what you do after that, you will be more calm.

Secondly, since Ren Xiaoyao was able to elope for a woman... that means that although he is "career-oriented", in comparison, his career-orientedness is not so serious as to be bloody.

Furthermore, with the current strength of Ren Xiaoyao and his group, if they opened the gates of the mountain to recruit disciples, they would have no shortage of disciples.

Since they didn't do that, then there is a high probability that...

Right?

at last···

Even if Ren Xiaoyao's ambition suddenly exploded and surpassed the bloody plot of snatching the leader, Lin Fan himself was not afraid.

For now, even if the two Lanyue Sects merged, even if Ren Xiaoyao became the Sect Master...

Who can he command?

It's not that Lin Fan is arrogant and blindly confident. The Lanyue Sect disciples currently in the Immortal Realm are either his disciples or his grandchildren...

Do they listen to themselves or let themselves be?

If such a bloody scene really happened, the worst that could happen would be that he would take his disciples with him and leave the Lanyue Sect and set up his own sect.

What's the big deal?!

The Lanyue Sect can be called the Lanyue Sect or the Lanri Sect.

You can even call it Xiaoyao Sect or Haoyue Sect!

So, Lin Fan met with them and prepared to discuss in detail.

As for what will happen in the end...

You’ll know only after you talk about it.

"A handsome man, a handsome man!"

Ren Xiaoyao laughed loudly and walked forward, circling Lin Fan a few times, his face full of surprise and admiration: "The Lanyue Sect has a successor!"

"After we leave, the Lanyue Sect will surely have a hard time, right?"

"But under such circumstances, you can still grow to this extent..."

The surprise on his face turned into guilt, and he sighed, "During this process, you must have suffered a lot, right?"

"It's my fault that I'm not qualified to be the founder. If it weren't for..."

"I should be blamed." His Taoist companion stepped forward and said with a wry smile: "If it weren't for my misunderstanding at the beginning, how could it be..."

“Hey~!”

"Don't talk about that!"

“Although I feel sorry for those people from the Lanyue Sect who followed me in the past, now that I know that the Lanyue Sect has a successor, I am happy. I am happy.”

"Hahaha!"

Ren Xiaoyao laughed three times, then said to Lin Fan: "Sect Master, she is your Taoist partner, Xu Youmeng."

"This girl is my disappointing daughter, her name is Ren Suxin."

"You are too polite, Master."

Lin Fan waved his hands quickly: "How dare I call myself the Sect Master in front of you?"

"If you are not the Sect Master, then who is?"

Ren Xiaoyao shook his head and smiled: "In fact, from the moment we left Xianwu Continent, I am no longer the leader of Lanyue Sect, nor am I worthy of being the leader of Lanyue Sect."

"Ah?" Ji Bochang was confused.

no···

If you are not the sect leader, then who is the sect leader of "our Lanyue Sect"?

However.

Ren Xiaoyao ignored him and just said, "It was because I was concerned about the Lanyue Sect these years, worried that the Lanyue Sect would destroy its Taoism. I thought that I should leave some traces of the Lanyue Sect in this world, so I reluctantly opened the mountain gate and accepted two disciples."

"One of them is this girl."

Ren Xiaoyao rubbed the head of the curious baby Ren Suxin.

Ji Bochang: “…”

So, I'm just an accident, no, I'm just... a 'freebie', right?

Sad~!

But Ren Suxin was greatly shocked.

this···

It was the first time I heard that the Lan Yue Sect I belonged to actually came into being because of my parents' obsession and guilt.

“You did a great job.”

Xu Youmeng had a lost smile on her face and spoke softly to Lin Fan.

The knot of these years···

At this moment, quietly unravel.

Although the initial misunderstanding did result in many casualties, at least... the worst outcome that no one wanted to see did not occur.

The Lanyue Sect has a successor!

And, it’s done very well.

In her opinion, at least, she did better than the ancestor Ren Xiaoyao! (End of this chapter)
