Lin Fan didn’t say anything after landing back in the inn.
Taking a deep breath, he suddenly sat down on the ground with his legs crossed and closed his eyes.
The aura around him was strange.
It almost seemed fragile as it condensed around him.
He was adjusting after breaking through, this was the time where he was the most vulnerable. If anyone wanted to do anything to Lin Fan, now would be the time to do it.
However, there was still Ye Tian Xie who was here to protect him.
Ye Tian Xie stood in the same place as before and pulled out a sword that he stabbed into the ground. Once he did, there was this outline that formed around Lin Fan like some kind of barrier that protected him.
Ye Tian Xie stood there with one hand on the sword as if he was daring people to approach Lin Fan.
However, there was no one that approached him.
They were also there to protect him after all.
The only one that had a strange look on his face was the elder.
Without the burst of spiritual energy pushing him back, the elder came forward to Ye Tian Xie’s side. Though the elder didn’t cross the line when he saw the way that Ye Tian Xie looked at him.
He just went to Ye Tian Xie’s side and leaned in to say, “Young master, the reaction that this Lin Fan had to the Raging Storm Pill was quite strange. It feels like there’s something special about him…”
The way that he let his voice trail off made it clear what he was implying, but Ye Tian Xie didn’t say anything in response.
With the way that he looked at him, it was as if he wasn’t interested in what he was saying.
The elder couldn’t help slightly knitting his brows when he heard this, so he continued by saying, “If we were to bring him back and the sect were to find something special about him, there’s no doubt that we would be rewarded.”
This time, the elder looked at Ye Tian Xie with a look like he was urging him to listen to him.
But once again, Ye Tian Xie just looked at the elder as if he didn’t care about what he was saying.
Or at least that’s what it seemed at first.
Seeing that the elder didn’t intend to give up this idea, Ye Tian Xie gave a snort.
When the elder heard this snort, he felt this strange pressure come over him that made him unconsciously take a step back.
After taking that step back, the elder couldn’t help looking at Ye Tian Xie with a surprised look as if he couldn’t believe that this pressure came from him. However, Ye Tian Xie’s expression had already returned to normal and he wasn’t even looking at him.
Ye Tian Xie had turned around to look at Lin Fan who was sitting there on the ground.
The elder had to look around himself as if he was trying to find the source of this pressure.
After all, he didn’t believe that Ye Tian Xie would do something like that.
They were from the same sect and Ye Tian Xie was the disciple of the sect master, someone as decorated as him wouldn’t do something like that.
Or at least that was what the elder believed.
But then there was a thought that passed through the elder’s mind.
If Ye Tian Xie didn’t do this, then who did?
Was there someone who was hiding around the area watching them after seeing Lin Fan break through like that?
If that was the case, wasn’t this a chance for him?
The elder’s eyes lit up as this thought passed through his head and he turned to Ye Tian Xie to say, “Young master, I’ll go and look around the area to make sure that there’s no one with bad intentions.”
Ye Tian Xie didn’t turn to look at the elder as he just gave a simple soft grunt to show that he heard him.
The elder didn’t mind this as he only had one thing on his mind.
If he caught that person, not only would he be able to show off in front of Ye Tian Xie, he would even be able to build a good relationship with Lin Fan. After all, he was catching this person to help Lin Fan, so he would naturally see him in a good light.
That would help him whether it was to bring him back to the Heavenly Demon Sect or to suck up to Ye Tian Xie.
It would certainly help him get out the backwoods that was the Mu Empire.
So the elder didn’t hesitate to draw his weapon as he went off.
What he didn’t know was that…it was Ye Tian Xie who had pressured him.
Ye Tian Xie had turned slightly to watch the elder jump out of the hole in the roof.
As he watched the elder disappear, Ye Tian Xie thought to himself, “He seems to have bad intentions towards him…It seems like I have to think of a way to restrain him or make him disappear. I hope that he won’t make the wrong choice or I’ll have no choice. I still need him to do his job for now…”
After thinking like this for a bit, Ye Tian Xie turned back to look at Lin Fan.
There was no change in his expression, so it was hard to figure out just what he was thinking.
He just kept looking at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan sat there for a few minutes before the aura around him started to change.
It was getting stronger and stronger until it finally condensed into the true aura of a Golden Core Realm Cultivator.
With this, it could be said that Lin Fan had finished his breakthrough.
Lin Fan suddenly opened his eyes and looked up to see Ye Tian Xie standing there in front of him with an expressionless look on his face. Seeing Ye Tian Xie like this made him feel awkward and unsure of what to do.
But as he was trying to figure out what he should do, Ye Tian Xie suddenly revealed a smile and reached his hand out for him to grab.
Lin Fan had the same awkward look on his face, but he still grabbed Ye Tian Xie’s hand and let him pull him up.
After standing up, Ye Tian Xie suddenly came forward to wipe the dust off his shoulder which shocked Lin Fan. All he could do was stand there with an uncertain look on his face as if he didn’t know what was happening.
Ye Tian Xie didn’t seem to mind at all as he kept patting the dust off his shoulder.
Only when he was satisfied did he stop.
Looking at Lin Fan, Ye Tian Xie gave a nod before taking a step back and saying, “It seems like you’ve gained quite a bit from taking this Raging Storm Pill, Brother Lin.”
Lin Fan was once again surprised to hear this, but he still gave a nod as he said, “Yes, I really gained much more than I had been expecting.”
The way that he said this almost made it seem like there was some kind of other meaning to his words, but Ye Tian Xie didn’t know what he meant by them.
All he cared about was that Lin Fan was much stronger than before.
If he wanted his plans to work, he needed Lin Fan to be much stronger.
With the same smile on his face, Ye Tian Xie said, “It’s good that you were able to gain this much from the Raging Storm Pill. The sect will have many other things for you in the future.”
Lin Fan couldn’t help slightly knitting his brows when he heard this, but he quickly released them and gave a nod in response.
There was no way to avoid the Heavenly Demon Sect after all, but if they kept giving him things like this…It wasn’t as if it was a bad thing to work with them.
As long as they didn’t go too far.
Ye Tian Xie took one more look at Lin Fan before turning to look at Mu Bao Bao.
Mu Bao Bao was surprised to see Ye Tian Xie looking at her, but she didn’t back down as she looked right back at him.
The two of them just looked at each other for a bit before Ye Tian Xie said, “So, you’re the one that they’re trying to get me to marry?”
Mu Bao Bao and Lin Fan were completely caught off guard when they heard this.
But now that Ye Tian Xie mentioned it, they remembered that this was indeed the case.
They had wanted Mu Bao Bao to marry Ye Tian Xie to bind the Mu Empire to the Heavenly Demon Sect. At the same time, they wanted someone as talented as Mu Bao Bao to be with Ye Tian Xie so they could have talented children in the future.
They had completely forgot about this because of everything that happened,
Now that Ye Tian Xie had brought it up, it wasn’t as if they could just ignore it…
Ye Tian Xie suddenly revealed a smile as he turned back to Lin Fan to say, “I want to have a private conversation with you. Will you give me that time?”
Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao were once again taken aback by this, but it didn’t seem like Ye Tian Xie had any ill intent, so Lin Fan slowly gave a nod in response.
