Chapter 86: Lin Fan Accidentally Becomes Canglan Palace Master

In the back row, Lin Fan was surrounded by Yin Miaoxue, Princess Hu Qinlan, Princess Jin Xuan, and Su Wanqing.

Princess Hu Qinlan even checked Lin Fan up and down, touching him here and there, saying as she checked,

"Young Master, you left us with Sister Wanqing for so long and didn't come to see us. Let me check if you've lost weight."

Lin Fan thought about dodging, but there was no way out. Being surrounded by them actually helped avoid being seen by others, so he could only accept it silently.

"I haven't lost weight, I haven't. I'm doing just fine."

Eventually, Princess Hu Qinlan touched the well-defined, lean muscles on Lin Fan's abdomen. Her cheeks flushed crimson, and she shyly withdrew her hand.

Lin Fan, blushing, tried to change the subject and said to Su Wanqing, "Wanqing, you won't be left behind this time. We can go together."

Su Wanqing teased, "Can you even handle us all? Lin Chen, me, and these three lively ones—none of us are easy to manage."

Just then, Lin Chen suddenly squeezed into their circle with a light smile on her face: "Fan, why don't I wait for you at home? Anyway, it's just an act…"

She quickly realized she had let something slip and hurriedly changed her words: "Ah, I mean, it's pretty nice at home anyway."

Amidst the playful banter of Lin Fan and the others, Sect Master Dan Wanying of the Western Region's Danxiang Valley spoke up.

"The situation is critical. Canglan Hall was built with the strength of the entire Immortal Domain. But we need someone to serve as our leader."

Sect Master Dan Wanying's voice was steady and powerful. Her gaze swept over everyone present as she continued.

"My Danxiang Valley now has the Pill Pavilion of the Upper Realm as our superior Sect. It is only right that I become the Palace Master to connect with the power of the Upper Realm."

The atmosphere instantly became heavy.

Sect Master of the Northern Region's Mingying Hall, Supreme Mingye, was the first to speak with disdain.

"Heh, what a great 'Upper Realm,' what a great 'Pill Pavilion.' The Canglan Immortal Domain is nothing more than their experimental field. When the critical moment arrives, do you really expect them to step in and save us? I only believe in my own fists."

Sect Master Dan Wanying's delicate brows furrowed in anger. "Supreme Mingye, your fists are strong, but the world is unpredictable. If we only rely on individual strength, we may not be able to handle the crisis facing the Five Regions."

Her tone was calm but carried an unquestionable resolve as she continued,

"The Pill Pavilion of the Upper Realm and my Danxiang Valley are of the same breath and branch. They will certainly provide full support. Moreover, the Pill Pavilion is a top-tier Sect in the Upper Realm; many forces will surely come to help."

Supreme Mingye and Great Elder Situ Qian's faces turned livid. Both of them knew what kind of entity the Upper Realm was, yet Sect Master Dan Wanying was still here, boasting.

Just as the atmosphere grew increasingly tense, Ye Youming stood up with her graceful figure and said softly:

"Sect Master of Danxiang, stop pretending to be something you're not. Dan Xiner has already clearly told us that the Canglan Immortal Domain is merely their experimental field and they will not provide any assistance."

Hearing this, Sect Master Dan Wanying trembled with anger. She turned her head and looked coldly at Dan Xiner behind her.

"Xiner, is this true?"

Dan Xiner was terrified and trembling. She bowed slightly to the side and said with a quivering voice, "Back to you, Mother, it is indeed so."

Supreme Mingye scoffed, while Great Elder Situ Qian stroked his beard with satisfaction.

Sect Master Dan Wanying, who had been full of hope, instantly lost all confidence. She snorted coldly and said no more.

Supreme Mingye looked at the situation before him, his sarcastic smile becoming more pronounced. "In my opinion, us old folks shouldn't fight over this. We can completely let a member of the younger generation be the Palace Master.

Firstly, they will show enough respect to us Seniors, giving us all a voice; secondly, it shows that we have magnanimity.

Finally, if a younger member serves as Palace Master, we don't have to worry about them having any ambition. Even if they wanted to target one of us, they wouldn't be able to."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fairy Qimeng expressed her support without hesitation.

Immediately after, Great Elder Situ Qian also nodded in agreement.

Three of the Five Regions had already expressed their support, so it was meaningless for the remaining two to refuse.

Mu Tianhe and Sect Master Dan Wanying looked at each other. Although they were dissatisfied, in the end, they could only helplessly express their support.

Great Elder Situ Qian looked at Supreme Mingye teasingly. "In your opinion, Supreme, which younger member could shoulder such a heavy responsibility?" His eyes flickered, seemingly intending to provoke Supreme Mingye's emotions, his words laden with hidden meaning.

Clearly, Great Elder Situ Qian had already guessed that Supreme Mingye would likely push his beloved disciple, Ye Youming, onto this throne.

Supreme Mingye, of course, saw through Great Elder Situ Qian's intentions. He chuckled inwardly, "Old thing, you still don't know that your Sect's Son of Heaven is my Ghost Region's Old Ancestor. Let's see me make you lose everything."

"Old Situ, don't look at me with that gaze. We in the Ghost Region have always revered strength. Since your Sect's Son of Heaven has the greatest strength among all the younger generation, it is naturally most appropriate for him to take the position."

Great Elder Situ Qian stroked his beard with satisfaction and laughed, "Good, good! Supreme Mingye is truly worthy of being the Master of the Ghost Region. Then, let my Sect's Son of Heaven, Lin Fan, serve as this Canglan Palace Master. What does everyone think?"

Fairy Qimeng's bright eyes flickered slightly, and a meaningful smile flashed in them.

She knew the relationship between Lin Fan and Lin Chen perfectly well. If Lin Fan served as Palace Master, what difference would it make from Lin Chen serving?

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she said softly, "I support Lin Fan serving as Canglan Palace Master; he is the best candidate."

With Fairy Qimeng's statement, three of the Five Regions had clearly expressed their support, so it was meaningless for the remaining two to refuse.

Mu Tianhe and Sect Master Dan Wanying looked at each other for a moment, and in the end, they could only express their support.

Lin Fan, who was surrounded in the middle by Princess Hu Qinlan, Yin Miaoxue, and Princess Jin Xuan, was still unaware that he had been designated by the various Sects as the Palace Master of Canglan Hall.

Just at that moment, a loud voice transmission suddenly rang in Lin Fan's ears. The sound was long and powerful, piercing through space and echoing in every corner of the entire Canglan Immortal Domain.

"Fellow Cultivators, destiny has been determined. Lin Fan, the Son of Heaven of my Sect, will serve as the Palace Master of Canglan Hall and lead the Five Regions! From this day forward, there will be no more division in the Canglan Immortal Domain. All realms will be united in heart to face the enemy together!"

This voice transmission shook the entire Canglan Immortal Domain like a thunderbolt from a clear sky.

Countless Cultivators stopped in their tracks, their gazes converging as they began to discuss it one after another.

Lin Fan's name instantly resounded throughout the entire Immortal Domain, becoming a hot topic of discussion among all Cultivators.

Princess Hu Qinlan looked at Lin Fan in the middle, her eyes full of excitement, "Palace Master, Young Master, you've become the Palace Master!"

Lin Fan slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing he had actually forgotten to accept the quest, and couldn't help but mutter in a low voice:

"Damn it, I actually forgot to accept the quest. Becoming the Canglan Palace Master—the rewards must be absolutely generous!"

After speaking, he immediately hurriedly called out to Xiao Du, "Xiao Du, Xiao Du, hurry and check what the rewards for becoming the Canglan Palace Master are!"

A few seconds later, the System's voice clearly echoed in Lin Fan's mind: "Apologies, Young Master, the quest time limit has passed. You failed to accept the quest to become the Canglan Palace Master. Please be sure to accept quests in a timely manner next time."

Lin Fan was stunned, staring blankly into the air. After a long while, he cursed in a low voice, "Xiao Du, you're really unreliable… you didn't even remind me beforehand!"

Xiao Du said in a soft, coquettish voice, "Um, sorry, Young Master, I just fell asleep."

Lin Fan was speechless. The last time Xiao Du reminded him to accept a quest, it seemed to be because it could get half of the merit points. Since it couldn't get a share this time, it simply slept soundly.
