"Sect Master, this is all Lin Fan should do. This Junior would not be where he is today without the help of the Piaomiao Immortal Sect. Without the Piaomiao Immortal Sect, there would be no Lin Fan today. How could Lin Fan dare to ask for a reward? As long as the Piaomiao Immortal Sect does not fail me, that is the greatest reward for Lin Fan," Lin Fan said very politely, moving everyone present. They hadn't expected Lin Fan to say such heartfelt words.
Of course, except for Su Ziyan. Su Ziyan knew at a glance that this guy was feigning nobility, but she couldn't expose him. Even if she did, no one would believe her, and she would only be accused of being jealous of Lin Fan, which would not be worth it.
"Don't worry, Lin Fan, you are the Saint of my Piaomiao Immortal Sect, and even more, the future Sect Master of my Piaomiao Immortal Sect. No matter what you do outside, even if it's a matter of immense gravity, my Piaomiao Immortal Sect will bear it. My Piaomiao Immortal Sect will always be your backing," Su Xiong said solemnly, word by word. It was clear he wasn't joking at this moment. He was completely entrusting the future of the Piaomiao Immortal Sect to Lin Fan. This was a complete gamble, betting that Lin Fan could lead the Piaomiao Immortal Sect to the peak of the continent.
Lin Fan admitted that his words just now were polite, but Su Xiong's words almost made him cry T﹏T. As a social animal in his previous life, he faced cold colleagues and bosses every day, completely devoid of human warmth. His family also various ways of disliking him, and there was no sense of home at all, but he felt all of these in the Piaomiao Immortal Sect.
Lin Fan silently decided in his heart that he must protect the Piaomiao Immortal Sect, even if it meant death.
"Sect Master, what do you mean by that?" These Elders all understood the meaning behind the Sect Master's words, but still asked with doubt.
"Since everyone is here today, I won't hide anything. I announce that Lin Fan officially becomes the Young Sect Leader of the Piaomiao Immortal Sect, while also retaining his position as Saint."
After speaking, he looked at the Elders present with sharp eyes. The Elders present were a little scared and quickly responded:
"Greetings, Young Sect Leader." All the Elders present bowed to Lin Fan in unison.
Lin Fan's current status could be described as one person below, ten thousand above. These Elders would have to bow to Lin Fan from now on.
"All Elders, you are too kind to this Junior. Everyone can just continue as before; there's no need to bother with these formalities. This Junior is still young, and in the future, I will rely on all Elders for guidance when I don't understand something," Lin Fan said politely.
Seeing that Lin Fan had not lost himself due to power, Su Xiong was very pleased. Su Xiong felt that this matter could be brought forward.
"Young Sect Leader, you are too polite. This is what we Elders should do."
"Yes, yes."
The Elders responded one after another.
"This guy, he's really good at pretending," Su Ziyan said. From beginning to end, Su Ziyan hadn't said a word, just quietly watching Lin Fan's performance. Of course, no one noticed Su Ziyan's odd behavior; even if they did, they would just dismiss it as a child throwing a tantrum.
Seeing Lin Fan and the Elders exchanging courtesies, Su Xiong felt that if he didn't stop them, the main topic of today's meeting would never be brought up, so he said:
"Alright, everyone quiet down. Next, let's discuss the main matter of this meeting."
The whole place instantly fell silent, looking at Su Xiong, waiting for him to speak.
"Regarding the candidates for the Martial Training Secret Realm in half a month, our Piaomiao Immortal Sect, thanks to Lin Fan's contribution, took first place and has 55 slots. Besides Lin Fan and Ziyan, there are 53 others. I have decided to send all 53 Disciples ranked in the top 53. What do you Elders think?"
"Sect Master, won't this be too risky? What if there's a life-threatening danger? Our Piaomiao Immortal Sect can't bear that," the Grand Elder said.
"Yes, Sect Master, this old man also thinks this is inappropriate," the Third Elder said.
"+1"
"+1"
...
The other Elders expressed their opinions one after another.
The Sect Master didn't speak, just looked at Lin Fan and asked, "What do you think, Young Sect Leader?"
Lin Fan was originally just observing, but he didn't expect the Sect Master to ask him. Lin Fan had originally wanted the Sect Master to give a slot to Su Yue, and now was a good opportunity to speak.
"Sect Master, I want to give a slot to Su Yue," Lin Fan requested.
"Su Yue? If you take her in, can you guarantee her safety?" Su Xiong asked.
"Don't worry, if I dare to take her in, I can certainly guarantee her safety," Lin Fan assured.
"Since that's the case, granted."
"Thank you, Sect Master," Lin Fan said after a while, after writing to the Sect Master.
"For the remaining 52, let them challenge the Trial Tower. The top 53 can go. What do you think, Sect Master?" Lin Fan said.
Su Xiong thought for a moment and felt it was feasible, saying, "Then it's settled. Grand Elder, I'll leave this matter to you. That's all, you may disperse."
After speaking, he disappeared.
"Farewell, Sect Master."
When Lin Fan and Su Ziyan arrived at Saint Child Peak, Lin Fan suddenly remembered that he hadn't given the enlightenment tree leaves to Su Ziyan and the others; he had completely forgotten. There were so many leaves, they wouldn't be able to finish them even in a monkey's year and horse's month, so it was better to give them away to strengthen relationships.
So Lin Fan handed a Storage Ring to Su Ziyan. Su Ziyan asked confusedly, "What does this mean?"
"Inside are enlightenment tree leaves, probably a few hundred. Take them and distribute them to the Old Man and the Elders," Lin Fan replied.
At this moment, Su Ziyan was stunned. What did she hear? The ring contained enlightenment tree leaves, and hundreds of them? What kind of international joke was this? These were enlightenment tree leaves! When did they become so common?
She immediately recovered and checked, finding that it was true. She was so excited that she almost couldn't hold the ring steady.
"No, is it that exciting? It's just a few hundred leaves, can you not act like a country bumpkin who's never seen the world?" Lin Fan mocked, looking at Su Ziyan's expression.
"You, you, you, you, you, you," Su Ziyan couldn't even speak properly.
"Alright, if you have questions, ask next time. You go distribute them first," Lin Fan was dying of laughter at this moment.
Upon hearing this, Su Ziyan left immediately without looking back.
"Slow down, don't fall!" Lin Fan shouted to the hastily departing Su Ziyan.
As soon as Lin Fan entered the house, Su Yue ran over. "Master, you're back!"
"Mm, I'm back."
"You've been playing all this time, haven't you? Your Cultivation is still the same."
Su Yue immediately lowered her head upon hearing this, not daring to speak.
Looking at Su Yue like this, Lin Fan smiled. "Alright, don't be unhappy. Here's some good news: in half a month, you'll also come with me to the Martial Training Secret Realm."
"Really? I can go too?" Su Yue immediately asked happily.
"Of course it's true. Your Master personally asked the Sect Master for it."
"Yay, yay! I can finally go play!" Su Yue happily spun around Lin Fan.
"This girl, all she thinks about is playing. The Martial Training Secret Realm is not a place for playing. It seems this wasn't a wise choice," Lin Fan thought to himself.
"Alright, go Cultivate."
"Okay, Master," Su Yue said and went back to her room to Cultivate.
"This Martial Training Secret Realm can only be entered by those below the Martial Venerable Realm. I can't take you this time," Lin Fan said with a hint of apology.
"It's alright, Young Master. I will wait at the entrance of the Secret Realm until Young Master returns triumphantly," Luo Mengxin said. After speaking, she even massaged Lin Fan's shoulders.
"With you here, I feel very at ease. Before entering the Secret Realm, I want to Cultivate well." After speaking, he looked directly at Luo Mengxin.
Luo Mengxin understood instantly and blushed.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night...
