Chapter 543: One Family

Celestial God Academy.

Lin Fan did not stay long. After chatting with Meng Tianzheng for a while, he not only returned the Immortal Scripture he had borrowed earlier but also gifted several more.

This surprised the Grand Elder. Nearly ten Immortal Scriptures were undoubtedly a huge Treasure Trove, their value immeasurable.

In fact, this was only half of what he had acquired; the rest remained in the Holy Emperor Palace, otherwise, it would have been even more astonishing!

“You probably didn’t just unearth an Immortal King’s Treasure Trove…” the Grand Elder sighed.

His luck was simply too good. He was even tempted by the Immortal Treasures from an ancient tomb and wanted to search for more, just in case anything was missed.

“Something like that, but all the good stuff was practically swept clean. It’s impossible for anything to remain once I’ve been through,” Lin Fan chuckled.

“That’s true.” Meng Tianzheng nodded and smiled, as if acknowledging and understanding his way of doing things.

Afterward, the two discussed some matters regarding Cultivation, but it wasn’t long before Lin Fan walked out of the Academy.

He did not plan to linger here. He still had another place to go for tempering, to quickly make himself stronger.

Of course, Lin Fan did not leave directly. He first gave some instructions to Qing Yi, and then, as if sensing something, looked towards the Academy’s entrance.

“What’s wrong?” Qing Yi asked.

“Something interesting seems to be happening near the mountain gate. I’ll go take a look.”

Lin Fan’s lips curled slightly, a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes, then he stepped out towards the Academy’s exterior.

At this time, the outside world became even livelier, with batches of students gathering, all of them outstanding individuals among the younger generation.

Among them were even prodigies who had Cultivated Three Immortal Qi, possessing extraordinary strength, surrounded by people choosing maidservants and followers.

There were both men and women, each brimming with vitality. The men were like Dragons, with surging Bloodline, and the women were like Phoenix, with unparalleled grace!

Most importantly, their identities were not simple; they came from Chang Sheng Family, whose ancestors had all produced True Immortals, possessing powerful Bloodline.

“The Core Disciples are all out, selecting followers,” someone exclaimed, and the place immediately fell into a commotion.

In an instant, countless people surged forward, all hoping to make a stunning impression, stand out, and be chosen as followers.

“Luotuo, Feng Xingtian, Wang Xi… sure enough, they are the strongest group of people in Celestial God Academy, with extraordinary aura!”

“If one could be chosen by them, it would truly be a blessing cultivated over eight lifetimes.”

“Especially the several stunningly brilliant pearls of the Chang Sheng Family, I would even be willing to become their servant.”

A group of people were excited, becoming more agitated as they spoke, with smiles on their faces, already beginning to fantasize.

“Is it really that much?” one young man frowned, speechless.

But, the next moment, he caught sight of a figure and exclaimed in surprise, “Eh, Brother Lin Fan is here too!”

Not just him, everyone present saw this, causing a sensation, their eyes widening, and the clamor immediately reached its peak.

“Oh my god, it’s the Little Holy Emperor, he’s out!”

The news exploded like thunder, shaking the place.

At this moment, many people’s eyes were fervent, even more intense than when they saw the young Supreme with Three Immortal Qi.

But not everyone reacted this way. A pearl of the Academy, upon seeing Lin Fan, felt not excitement, but fear.

She trembled all over, her slender and crystal-clear beautiful legs unconsciously retreating, as if to avoid a flood or fierce beast.

“Wang Xi, it’s been so long, and you’re leaving without even a greeting? That’s too rude, isn’t it?” Lin Fan called out.

Not far away, Wang Xi’s expression changed, revealing a hint of panic, but she still forced herself to calm down, turned around, and bowed gracefully.

“Honorary Elder, if there’s nothing else, this Disciple will return to Cultivate first.”

Lin Fan chuckled at her words. What was this girl trying to do? She respectfully called him Elder.

And she wanted to avoid him as soon as he arrived. Was he really that scary?

“Wang Xi, why are you being so formal? Have you forgotten the affection between us back then? I still vividly remember your skills. How about we chat privately?”

As these words came out, Wang Xi’s pupils suddenly constricted, and she could no longer remain calm.

Her graceful body trembled, her hands clenched tightly, her nails almost digging into her flesh.

At this moment, she seemed to recall some unpleasant memories, filled with terror and unease, completely losing her composure.

“What’s wrong with Fairy Wang Xi? She seems very afraid of the Little Holy Emperor?” outsiders wondered.

This was astonishing; it was hard to imagine what had happened to make such an unapproachable beauty so flustered.

“Elder, please be respectful!” Wang Xi took a deep breath and said.

“Where did your mind go? As an Elder of the Academy, I have an obligation to guide Disciples. Seeing your extraordinary talent, I merely wanted to offer some pointers.”

Lin Fan spoke with a straight face, and even criticized her, telling her not to cause misunderstandings and ruin his upright image in the eyes of the world.

Wang Xi secretly gritted her teeth. This damned man was truly shameless. What did he take her for? A frivolous woman seducing an Elder?

He was completely turning the tables!

“Thank you for your kindness, Elder. This Disciple currently has no questions,” Wang Xi suppressed the anger in her heart.

After speaking, she wanted to leave, truly not wanting to face this devil, otherwise, she would recall those dark years of captivity.

For a Fairy, this was a complete nightmare. Even after several years, it remained vivid and hard to let go.

At the same time, she couldn’t even seek revenge. Lin Fan’s Cultivation progress made her despair, giving rise to Heart Demons.

Especially under these circumstances, Wang Xi had to force herself to overcome her disgust and thank him, because she didn’t want to experience it all again.

However, things did not go as planned. Just as Wang Xi was about to leave, a light laugh came, almost causing her to completely erupt.

“Sister Yao Yue, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Not everyone gets the privilege of being personally guided by the Little Holy Emperor.”

Not far away, a woman approached with graceful steps, treading under the moonlight, like a Guanghan Fairy descending to the human world, pure and holy beyond compare.

It was clearly daytime, yet she was enveloped in moonlight like water, with a rich Immortal Qi.

“Yao Yue!” Wang Xi glared at the woman, recognizing her.

However, the woman chose to ignore her and walked directly towards Lin Fan, bowing slightly, “Greetings, Little Holy Emperor!”

“This must be Sister Yao Yue. Hearing about you is one thing, but seeing you is another. You are truly an unparalleled Divine Maiden,” Lin Fan said with a smile.

Yao Yue, the Imperial Dynasty Princess of the Xu Family, Xu Chengdao’s younger sister, also from a Chang Sheng Family, held a good reputation in Nine Heavens.

She wore a light veil, her face beautiful and flawless, her star-like eyes blinking, dreamlike and enchanting, captivating all who saw her.

“The Little Holy Emperor overpraises me,” Princess Yao Yue smiled sweetly, exquisitely beautiful, her skin like warm ivory, no less stunning than Wang Xi’s.

At Celestial God Academy, the two women also held the title of “Peerless Twin Pearls,” always attracting the most attention, constantly compared to see who was superior.

“Sister Yao Yue, you’re too modest. Brother Xu often mentioned you to me, how excellent and beautiful you are, and he even said that we would be one family sooner or later.”

Lin Fan smiled, with a hint of strangeness.

“Uh… one family?!”

Princess Yao Yue froze, then suddenly thought of something, and her captivating face instantly turned red.

At this moment, she somewhat wanted to go home and beat her brother to death. He had actually sold his sister to survive.

The most crucial point was that her Imperial Father, Xu Mingxuan, also had this intention: the Xu Family and the Holy Emperor Palace would form a marriage alliance to jointly face the great calamity.
