Chapter 44: Yue Chan has a fiancé?

Lower Realm, Butian Sect.

"What?! You're my fiancé?!" A young girl's surprised cry echoed, making the main hall tremble.

This was a young woman, dressed in white like snow, with flowing dark hair, possessing an otherworldly aura of detachment and purity.

Her tender face was veiled, and her clear, sparkling eyes, misty like a sprite's, made one want to explore them.

This girl was precisely Yuechan's secondary body, whose appearance was almost identical to the main body; she had been a beauty since childhood, pursued by many.

However, this dignified and holy young girl's face was now pale, all because of the sudden appearance of the Young Master before her and the words he spoke.

"That's right, you and I were betrothed by our School Elders since childhood, and I am your fiancé," Lin Fan said with a straight face.

Yuechan's secondary body was stunned, her mind instantly crashing; how could she suddenly have a fiancé?

It was too unexpected…

Just this morning, she had been summoned to the main hall by the Butian Sect Leader, who said that an incredibly distinguished guest from the Upper Realm had arrived and specifically asked to see her, but she never expected that the visitor would be someone even younger than her.

Moreover, as soon as this person arrived, he declared that they had been betrothed since birth.

"What evidence do you have to prove it? A mere statement isn't convincing," Yuechan's secondary body said suspiciously, naturally not fully believing him.

Especially when she glanced at the Butian Sect Leader, who shook his head, indicating he knew nothing of the matter.

Not only the Butian Sect Leader of the Lower Realm, but even the other Elders of the sect were surprised.

Though they knew the Saintess's origins were extraordinary, a noble girl who came down from the Upper Realm's sect at a young age, they truly knew nothing about the Saintess having a betrothal.

Of course, all of this was Lin Fan's fabrication; knowing that the Yue Chan in the Lower Realm at this time didn't realize she was a secondary body, he thought of teasing her.

"I naturally have evidence. You and I each possess an identical Divine Sword, bestowed upon us by our Elders when they arranged our betrothal."

As Lin Fan spoke, a jade sword instantly appeared in his hand, radiating auspicious light and flowing with five-colored Divine Might, illuminating the entire hall with dazzling brilliance.

Yuechan's secondary body was surprised; a Divine Sword also appeared in her hand, which was as smooth as jade, shimmering with colorful light, and it was exactly identical to the one in Lin Fan's hand, without any difference.

"This…" She could hardly believe it; did she really have a fiancé?

That would be too tragic; to be arranged from birth, even her Dao Companion already chosen—this was not the outcome Yue Chan desired.

So, she sought a loophole and retorted, "No, although this sword is extraordinary, it can still be replicated. This doesn't convince anyone."

Hearing that, Lin Fan smiled. Whether it was the main body or the secondary body, the little Yue Chan was truly hard to fool.

However, he still had his ultimate trump card!

"I have a marriage decree sealed by our School Elders as proof!" Lin Fan took out a golden scroll from his embrace, then tossed it into the Void Realm to unfurl.

"Chirp!"

Immediately, the decree opened, shining brightly, with surging Qi and runes densely covering the Void Realm, making the main hall unstable and shaking violently.

As a result, the sect's protective array was passively activated, raising a light barrier that enveloped the area.

At the same time, various auspicious phenomena appeared: the Dao's heavenly sounds, Dragon and Phoenix presenting auspiciousness, golden lotuses blooming everywhere, etc., all incredibly astonishing!

In just an instant, terrifying fluctuations surged forth, and an immense Divine Might emanated through the paper, shaking the entire Divine Mountain where the Butian Sect was located.

"Boom!"

At this moment, everyone in the Lower Realm's Butian Sect knelt prostrate under this Divine Might, not daring to look up, their bodies trembling and their Souls quivering.

"This… what happened? Such a powerful… Divine Might." The Disciples and Elders of the Butian Sect were all bewildered, cold sweat streaming down their faces, thinking the end of the world had come.

Lin Fan, the instigator, smirked, his gaze cunning, and nodded with satisfaction as he looked at Yuechan's secondary body, who was also kneeling on the ground, her forehead covered in sweat.

As for how this decree came to be, it was naturally given by Qing Yao; although it had no offensive power, it was most effective for intimidating people.

Moreover, it was a blank decree, only stamped with a Law seal, forming an inexplicable Law.

"It seems I've done something a certain black dog once did?" Lin Fan stroked his chin, looking very amused.

However, the people of the Butian Sect below were suffering, because as long as Lin Fan didn't put away the decree, they couldn't move at all and remained prostrate.

"Please, Young… Young Master, put… away the… decree!" The Butian Sect Leader of the Lower Realm used all his strength to utter a few words, his clothes already drenched in sweat.

"Oh, sorry, I was lost in thought. I didn't realize you were still kneeling." Lin Fan snapped back to attention and put away the decree without any apology.

With the Divine Might gone, everyone slowly stood up, wiping the sweat from their foreheads, and at the same time, they held even greater respect for Lin Fan.

The fact that he could carry an Old Ancestor's decree from the Upper Realm meant his status within the sect must be extraordinary, his origins terrifyingly grand!

"How about it? Do you believe me now?" Lin Fan asked, amused, as he scrutinized the slightly disheveled little Yue Chan.

Because of the sweat, her veil clung tightly to her fair, delicate face, and her eyes, flowing with light, added a touch of charm.

Yue Chan stared at him blankly. Even though she believed him seventy to eighty percent, she still didn't want to accept this outcome; perhaps deep down, she didn't wish for a fiancé to appear.

She was proud and holy; how could she suddenly have someone to accompany her for life out of nowhere? It was too terrible.

"What was written on the decree? I didn't see clearly, who knows if it's real!" she retorted stubbornly, clearly unconvinced.

"Then let's look again." Lin Fan smiled, preparing to toss the decree into the air to unfurl it again.

But the next moment, the Butian Sect Leader of the Lower Realm and a group of Elders quickly reached out their hands, dissuading him: "No, no, no, Young Master, we believe you. You and the Saintess have a betrothal…"

"And you?" Lin Fan asked, holding up the rolled decree and looking at Yuechan's secondary body.

Yuechan's secondary body let out a cold "hmph," turning her head away, which was a tacit acceptance of the outcome. She didn't want to kneel again; it was too embarrassing.

However, even if they had a betrothal, if Lin Fan were a good-for-nothing who didn't meet her standards, she would still find a way to dissolve the engagement or postpone it indefinitely in the future.

"Pfft, this little Yue Chan is so easy to fool. If it were the main body, she'd probably cleave me with a sword and never admit it." Lin Fan almost couldn't hold back his laughter, but he had to keep up the act.

He vaguely anticipated the absolutely splendid expression on Yue Chan's main body's face when she found out later.

However, he didn't forget his purpose in coming to the Lower Realm. He said, "Help me prepare a teleportation array. I need to go to Stone Country in the Desolate Region immediately…"

Lin Fan paused there, then looked sideways at Yue Chan and continued, "The Saintess will also accompany me."

"Me…?" Yue Chan blinked, her mind full of questions. When had she ever said she wanted to leave?

However, Lin Fan didn't give her a chance to object. He pulled Yue Chan and started walking out, complaining with a look of disdain that her cultivation was too low, only at the Eighth Heavenly Passage, and that she needed to be trained.

Yue Chan was dumbfounded; would she one day be despised for slow cultivation?

She was clearly very fast; no Disciple in the sect had opened the Eighth Heavenly Passage at her age, and even the Elders praised her talent as extraordinary and rarely seen in the world.

Lin Fan scoffed, "Tsk, that only proves you're a frog in a well."

"What?!" Yue Chan bristled; no one had ever dared to despise her like that. She almost drew her sword.

But then, Lin Fan displayed his cultivation, instantly silencing her and leaving her utterly shocked.

"Nine years old… Spiritual Transformation Realm!"

Unbeknownst to them, in a corner of the Butian Sect, a thirteen-year-old boy with thick red hair was watching this scene, filled with anger and indignation.

"Why can that little brat be Fairy Junior Sister's fiancé!" The boy punched a cliff wall with force, and the large stone instantly turned to dust.

Just then, a voice came, and a man who looked seventy to eighty percent like him appeared in front. "Zhen-di, put down your unrealistic thoughts. Some people are not to be offended by us."

"Elder Brother, but…"

"There's no 'but.' Compared to the Upper Realm, a protector in my School is nothing."
