"Haven't all that I've done these past few days warmed the stone in your heart?" Chu Yunying's face turned pale, and she couldn't help but take two steps back, her eyes full of hurt.
"How do you know that what you're covering is a stone, and not a piece of ice?" Lin Fan said calmly.
He closed the door, completely ignoring Chu Yunying's cries outside. Her voice, though soft, was heart-wrenching and filled with despair.
Murong Xuanqiu peeked out and looked at him strangely.
"Senior Brother Lin!" Her eyes shone with tenderness, her red lips parted slightly, and her voice was so gentle that it made Lin Fan tremble and goosebumps rise all over his body.
"Don't make those weird movements!"
Lin Fan shouted sternly, raised his hand and slapped the bulging part of the quilt flat, speechless.
This little potato is posing like she's pushing a cart and making those seductive noises. What exactly does she want to do?
Murong Xuanqiu glared at her angrily, her eyes filled with rage, thinking that this girl was hopeless.
"Tell me the plan now!" she pouted, wrapped herself in the blanket, and stuck her head up again, saying with dissatisfaction.
"We'll enter the far north tomorrow, and then I'll talk to you in detail. Could you please leave my room first?" Lin Fan said with a dark face.
Are they here to listen to gossip, spread rumors, and date? The far north is fraught with danger, aren't they nervous at all?
This silly girl doesn't seem to be reborn. Maybe she's just always been a bit dim-witted, and whether she's reborn or not doesn't matter to her.
"But Junior Sister Chu is still outside. If I go out directly, I'll be exposed!" She gripped the blanket tightly, looking like she didn't want to get up.
That night, she even planned to sneak into Chu Yunying's room to play with her wavy hair. But if Chu Yunying caught her red-handed, she would be jealous and wouldn't be able to go there anymore.
Lin Fan rubbed his forehead, unsure of what to say in his mind.
"Junior Sister Xuanqiu, let me warn you, don't be obsessed with me, I'm just a legend!"
He said very seriously that Little Potato wasn't his type, mainly because he looked too small, and he couldn't get over that hurdle.
The sound of teeth grinding could be faintly heard, followed by Murong Xuanqiu giggling. She winked at him and said with a smile, "It's okay if you don't like me, senior brother. As soon as the lamp goes out, you can lie on the bed. I can do it all automatically!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Fan's face darkened, and he slapped the blanket flat again. Forget it, he wasn't going to talk to her anymore. This potato was driving too fast; she disappeared before he even got in the car, and he couldn't catch up.
He walked to the bottom of the table, sat down, and began to enter a sage-like state.
After completing the mission to kill the Netherworld Serpent and receiving the reward, the system returned to its deathly calm.
Murong Xuanqiu lay in bed, smelling the lingering scent of him on the blankets. Her pretty face flushed red, and as time passed, she drifted off to sleep.
Lin Fan felt a little disgusted by her drooling and wanted to throw her out.
He extended his divine sense and found that Chu Yunying had disappeared. He breathed a sigh of relief, then straightened his clothes and tiptoed away.
When Zhuge saw me, he quickly ran over, his face as black as charcoal.
"Junior Brother Lin, you're quite the player. You disappeared on your own, leaving me to take the blame. Do you know how I've been these past few days?" He grabbed Lin Fan's collar and said through gritted teeth.
"Senior brother, just tell me if you miss them or not!" Lin Fan slapped his hand away and said with a sly expression.
Zhuge snorted coldly, tilted his head, and said, "Don't even think about tricking me into going to Mengxian Tower again."
"I've already redeemed them from their servitude, they're no longer at Dream Fairy Pavilion, so you can keep them as mistresses, Senior Brother!" Lin Fan sat down, picked up the teapot on the table, and began to brew tea.
Zhuge noticed the change in my expression, as if I was hesitating and struggling. Lin Fan saw it but didn't point it out.
"I can never repay the sect's nurturing and my master's teachings in this lifetime. I have not yet repaid my master's kindness, how can I be so mired in the mortal world!" Zhuge said through gritted teeth.
“That’s easy. We’ll secretly get them into the Qingxiao Sect. Whether they’re ordinary disciples or maids, it doesn’t matter,” Lin Fan said.
Both of them were influential figures in the Qingxiao Sect, making it extremely easy for them to manipulate the selection of disciples.
"But I am still guilty and it is hard to say whether I can keep my position as chief. If Master wants to protect the reputation of the sect and expel me from the sect, there is nothing I can do!" Zhuge saw that I was somewhat tempted, but still had some concerns.
Lin Fan was his accomplice, but he was the one who actually frequented prostitutes, and Lin Fan didn't take any action. So, if anyone was to be punished, he was the one who was more guilty.
After all, Lin Fan has the protection of the Youzhu Peak Master. At most, he will be stripped of his chief position and confined to the wall for ten years to reflect on his mistakes. In time, everyone will forget about it, and the matter will be over. Then he will be released.
He had indeed been a prostitute, which damaged the sect's reputation. Even if his master was the sect leader, he could not be protected!
"If you are expelled from the sect, you will get your wish. You can live in seclusion with your two Daoist partners and enjoy a happy family life. How wonderful that would be!" Lin Fan said with a smile.
"Junior brother, stop joking. I don't want to leave the sect. It's the home I grew up in!" Zhuge sighed when he saw me.
The sect leader treated him like his own son. If he were to be expelled from the sect and betray his master's teachings, how could he possibly live with himself?
"That's simple then. There's only one month left until the time to accept disciples. We'll use some tricks to make them become disciples, and then the senior brother won't be seen as a prostitute. Those old guys in the sect can't exactly say their disciples are virgins, can they?" Lin Fan reminded him.
Zhuge saw my eyes light up and suddenly understood. It turned out that Lin Fan was so loyal. He not only helped him find two wives, but also thought out all the follow-up issues. He was a true brother. No wonder we've been inseparable since childhood.
Once the two women become disciples of the Qingxiao Sect, the sect will do everything in its power to whitewash their identities and remove all stains, all for the sake of its reputation.
"But I am focused on cultivation and want to fight for the future of the Qingxiao Sect!" He was a little troubled. The sect leader had high hopes for him and hoped that he could lead the Qingxiao Sect back to its former glory.
If his master knew that he was obsessed with women, he would definitely be very disappointed in him.
"Then forget it, I'll arrange for them to marry other people!" Lin Fan said, about to get up to make arrangements, but Zhuge saw me and quickly stopped him.
"I was just kidding, don't take it seriously!"
"Hehe..." Lin Fan sneered. This repressed slut was really enjoying himself. He had tasted the sweetness and couldn't stop. He kept nagging and complaining. He wanted to fire his gun but couldn't let people gossip. It was really annoying.
"Junior Brother Lin, may I take one more look at them today?" Zhuge asked, his expression a little unnatural.
Lin Fan was astonished, then looked at him strangely. Sure enough, once he tasted it, he couldn't stop eating it.
This guy is probably thinking that he'll be leaving Shanhai City tomorrow, and he wants to spend some more time being tender and affectionate before stepping into the demon realm.
After Lin Fan gave him the detailed address of the two courtesans' residence, he reminded him, "Don't stay out too late, we still have to carry out our mission tomorrow!"
Zhuge saw that I gave him a reassuring look, indicating that he knew what to do and wouldn't let beauty interfere with important matters.
Watching this annoying show-off scurry off, a strange smile slowly crept onto Lin Fan's lips. Now that he'd dealt with this guy, after leaving Shanhai City, he'd have to figure out how to lure out Long Aotian.
Then an old man came out, and Lin Fan took out the blood talisman and handed it to him. The two whispered to each other, and after a while, the old man left with the blood talisman.
He found Qin Tiansheng, who was moving things with several family members. They were carrying two large boxes containing information about the changes in Shanhai City over the past hundred years.
Lin Fan picked up the two books, quickly scanned them, and said with satisfaction, "Do as I say from now on. I'll make the arrangements for the Qingxiao Sect."
"Thank you very much, Chief Lin!" Qin Tiansheng said excitedly.
He received information from Qing Xiaozong a few days ago about the conflict between Lin Fan and Qin Wunian. He was heartbroken and sighed inwardly, blaming his daughter for being so useless and having no one else to blame.
However, Han Feicheng's death took a turn for the better when Lin Fan sent a message asking to check the intelligence in Shanhai City, as well as the intelligence on the Han family.
The purpose was obvious; they were probably going to take action against the Han family. They even demanded his cooperation and promised to help him resolve Qin Lingshu's matter.
"Ding: Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission. Murong Xuanqiu's favorability +20, reward: Seven Star Sky-Stepping Diagram!"
The system reward was placed in his inventory. Lin Fan cursed it under his breath and then ignored it.
Even if a little potato with a loli body and a mature woman's voice has an overwhelmingly positive impression, so what? In a few years, if he still has feelings for that loli face, he will feel like a pervert and a criminal.
As night fell, Zhuge saw me returning leisurely, swaying as I walked, looking quite irritating.
"Senior brother, are you full?" Lin Fan asked with a smile.
"I'm full!" Zhuge said, seeing my satisfaction.
"In that case, I will immediately arrange for them and the people from the Qin family to go to the sect!" Lin Fan said.
"Thank you for your trouble, junior brother. From now on, we are brothers even if we are not from the same father or mother. If anything happens, you must tell me. Even if it's a mountain of knives or a sea of fire, I will brave it!" Zhuge said softly when he saw me hugging his shoulders.
"We are aware of your conflict with Long Aotian. Our master sent me a message saying that Long Aotian is no longer in the sect and has probably arrived here. If you want to cooperate in eliminating him outside Shanhai City, I will definitely do my best to help!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Fan curled his lips. It turned out that this guy had already received the information. It seemed that the sect's higher-ups all wanted to get rid of Long Aotian. Zhuge Jian probably didn't know the reason.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have gone through all this trouble!" he couldn't help but complain. Those old guys didn't even give him a heads-up, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to the trouble of trying to win over Zhuge Jianwo.
"Haha, who knew you had so many crooked ideas." Zhuge saw me pat him on the shoulder, and the two of us went to find the elder side by side to discuss tomorrow's itinerary.
Murong Xuanqiu woke up groggily, stretched, feeling a little listless; the more she slept, the more tired she became.
Seeing the room empty and Lin Fan nowhere to be seen, she pouted and muttered, "What a strange person. Doesn't he like women?"
She's such a pretty, cute junior sister, with a soft voice and a gentle body, yet he's not moved by her. Is it because he's impotent?
