Chapter 19: Group Cheating (IV)

Before the words had even faded, a sound of rushing wind rang out, and Lin Fan gently held Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji by the waist, landing steadily.

Mu Xueyan raised an eyebrow slightly, her gaze sweeping back and forth between them as she asked indifferently, "Is Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji's waist nice to touch?"

Lin Fan's face stiffened slightly, and he explained with a dry laugh, "Special circumstances, special circumstances. Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji has no power right now, after all."

Mu Xueyan snorted softly and gave him a pretty eye-roll, saying, "Forget it, I can't be bothered to argue with you."

Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji's cheeks flushed crimson; she hurriedly turned around and quickly smoothed out the hair that had been messed up by the gale.

After tidying herself up, Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji walked over to Xue Yao, looked her up and down, and even took her small hand to examine it carefully, her tone filled with concern.

"Yao Yao, did they bully you? Have you been wronged?"

Xue Yao shook her head, spun around, and said with a grin, "Master, look, I'm perfectly fine! I have already comprehended the Void Power and mastered a very powerful sword technique. It's amazing!"

Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, saying, "That's good."

Xue Yao tilted her head, suddenly looking puzzled, "Master, why was your hair so messy just now? Could it be… you and Master…"

Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji's pretty face instantly flushed crimson, and she nearly stumbled, "You, you little girl!"

Lin Fan chuckled on the side, "Yao Yao is truly innocent!"

"Master, is working in the fields tiring? Master promised me he would bring you back and apologize to you. Did he apologize?"

Xue Yao looked up, blinking her big eyes with a serious expression.

Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji was almost choked by these words, her heart filled with a complex mix of emotions.

So Lin Fan appeared suddenly in the lake where she was bathing, just to bring her back? And to apologize to her?

In the end, he didn't apologize, but instead saw her whole body.

Thinking of this, Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji's ears turned red, and she nearly fainted from anger.

"He apologized." Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji gritted her teeth and squeezed out the words, "Your Master has already apologized to me."

"Oh, that's good!" Xue Yao breathed a sigh of relief, looking very satisfied.

She turned to look at Lin Fan, her tone carrying a hint of pleading, "Master, can you undo the Restriction on my Master's Cultivation?"

Lin Fan smacked his lips and helplessly spread his hands, "Yao Yao, your Master is worth one million Immortal Crystals right now. If I undo it and she runs away, what should I do?"

Xue Yao tilted her head and thought about it, then actually nodded, "Master's words seem to make sense. The Upper Realm wanted to forcibly take away Sect Master Lin Chen without any explanation, so this compensation is indeed reasonable."

Upon hearing this, Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji nearly fainted from anger.

"Master, then please endure it a little longer," Xue Yao said earnestly. "Once the Immortal Crystals are paid, I will ask Master to undo your Restriction."

Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji looked at her beloved disciple, her heart feeling ice-cold.

"Yao Yao, how have I treated you in the past? Now you're actually siding with an outsider and conspiring to scam your Master?"

Xue Yao looked innocent, "Yao Yao is thinking entirely of you, Master. During this time, I will take good care of you and won't let you suffer any grievances."

Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji's expression finally softened slightly upon hearing this. But she snorted coldly in her heart; Yao Yao was still so naive and must have been bewitched by that guy Lin Fan. Hmph, wait until she exposed him as a fake God Lord, then she'd see if Yao Yao would still protect him!

She whispered a voice transmission to Xue Yao, "Yao Yao, listen to your Master; this God Lord Master of yours is a fake, don't be deceived by him again."

Xue Yao tilted her head and replied with a puzzled voice transmission, "Master isn't deceiving me, and besides, I already know he isn't the real God Lord."

"What?!" Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji felt the world go black before her eyes and nearly fainted. This girl had been completely corrupted! It's over!

Lin Fan scanned the group, confirming that Mu Xueyan, Xue Yao, and Cuier were all present, and there was even an unexpected addition of Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji.

He chuckled, "Since everyone is here, let's go somewhere else to talk."

Before the words had even faded, he waved his hand, and Void Power enveloped everyone, instantly escaping into the Void Realm and beginning to traverse space.

Watching Lin Fan's maneuver, Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji was so angry that her face turned red and then pale.

This guy clearly had such methods, yet just now he insisted on holding her waist to fly and find Xue Yao; he was clearly taking advantage of her! Little bastard!

In an instant, the space traversal was completed, and the group landed steadily in Qimeng Courtyard.

In the courtyard, Su Wanqing, Sect Master Qi Meng, Princess Jin Xuan, Yin Miaoxue, and Princess Hu Qinlan had already been waiting for a long time.

"Ha, sorry, I'm late." Lin Fan apologized with a bow.

"It doesn't matter, hurry and take us to cheat and level up!" Lin Chen smiled sweetly, her voice like a bell.

"Alright! Everyone pay attention; I will take you to a special place in a moment. There, our time might pass for a thousand or ten thousand years, while here it will only be an instant. Once we arrive, remember not to touch anything in that world, and stay close to me. I will use the Void Heaven-Swallowing Art to help everyone Cultivate."

"Young Master, let's start quickly; I can't wait anymore!" Princess Hu Qinlan urged.

Lin Fan hid the world-breaking pendant gifted by Fairy Guanghan in his sleeve, avoided Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji's gaze, and waved his hand, tearing through the river of time and bringing everyone to the Middle Stage of the Era of Gods.

Here, the Immortal Qi was dense, the world was flourishing, and it seemed as if endless vitality flowed everywhere.

Lin Fan activated the super concealment shield inside the world-breaking pendant, and the figures of the group instantly vanished, becoming invisible and intangible.

He cautiously avoided everything, focusing only on stealing time. This place was trillions of years apart from real-time, and touching anything casually could trigger the collapse of the entire universe.

With a wave of his hand, he produced ten million Immortal Crystals and circulated the Void Heaven-Swallowing Art to consume and convert them.

Vast and pure energy surged like the tide, permeating the area around everyone. This energy was extraordinary and could be directly absorbed to increase Cultivation.

Lin Chen looked at Lin Fan in surprise, seemingly having realized something, "So the true Profound Truth of the Void Heaven-Swallowing Art lies here."

Lin Fan nodded and said in a deep voice, "Everyone sit cross-legged around me and absorb this energy well; just Breakthrough your Realm mindlessly. Don't worry about any Heavenly Tribulation or God Tribulation; I will bear them for you."

Upon hearing this, everyone sat in a circle and impatiently began to absorb the energy.

Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji originally didn't want to pay attention, but in the end, she couldn't help but follow suit and sat cross-legged. Just as she was about to absorb it, Lin Fan suddenly said indifferently, "Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji, you don't need to; we aren't close, just watch."

Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji nearly fainted from anger. Didn't he say last time that acquaintance comes with practice? This was already the fourth time, and he still said they weren't close?

She snorted coldly, "Hmph, if I don't absorb it, I don't absorb it! Who cares!"

Xue Yao naturally saw the unconcealable desire in her eyes and whispered, "Master, why don't you let my Master absorb a little too? Anyway, there's so much, we can't finish it all."

Lin Fan shook his head, "It's not much. Soon, when you Breakthrough to Quasi-Saint, you will need even more Immortal Crystals. Your Master is already a Grand Unity Golden Immortal; she doesn't need this."

Xue Yao softly said "Oh," and obediently closed her eyes, focusing on absorbing the energy.

She had no concept of a Quasi-Saint, only thinking that it wasn't as powerful as her Master's Grand Unity Golden Immortal anyway, so it would be a waste for her Master to absorb it.
