Chapter 384: A Small Dispute Between Two Little Disciples

Lin Fan had recently eased his mind, no longer eager to rush into adventures. Since he had taken on disciples, he ought to teach them well.

On the training ground of Nameless Peak, two figures flitted about like butterflies, their blood and qi churning. Although both disciples were young girls, blood and qi were the foundation of the early stages.

Though Lin Fan, aided by the system, had never felt the importance of blood and qi much, now his cultivation in Donglingzhou was like that of a celestial being, and his insight was naturally sharp.

Seeing the girl Zhiqiao practicing the Sword Canon, Lin Fan was reminded of Canglingzhou.

Although he had now figured out the purpose of his quest for strength, hatred remained hatred. The enmity of the sect's annihilation would not go unavenged.

Sect masters of the nine great sects, Yan Emperor, Heavenly Empress—I hope you've washed your asses clean, waiting for your young master to return.

“Master, am I very strong now?” Zhiqiao, having completed the second layer of the Sword Canon, trotted over to Lin Fan, looking up at him expectantly.

Lin Fan snapped back to reality, smiled, and patted Zhiqiao on the head. “Not bad. Keep it up.”

Receiving praise and having her head stroked by Lin Fan, the teaching skill activated at that moment.

Zhiqiao's comprehension once again greatly improved.

These cultivation practices might seem simple to Lin Fan, but for a child as young as Zhiqiao, reaching such a level was already quite impressive.

At such a young age, she had already reached the middle stage of Xiantian—her future was limitless.

“But you should learn from your junior sister. Cultivation cannot be done in fits and starts; you must persevere,” Lin Fan said with a smile.

“Mm, I understand.” Hearing her master praise her junior sister, the little girl Zhiqiao grew jealous. Then, pouting, she picked up her sword and ran back to the training ground to continue practicing.

Though her arms and legs were small, her swordplay was already quite proper. A flash of cold sword light could shine across the four continents—still immature, but with boundless potential.

In Zhiqiao's little heart, she refused to admit defeat. She was the senior sister—how could she lose to her junior sister?

Lin Fan sipped tea, watching the two on the training ground, and nodded approvingly.

The girl Zhiqiao had originally been mediocre in innate talent, luck, and aptitude, but now it was different. Her luck soared, reaching heaven and earth.

As for the girl You Jiuling, Lin Fan had to admit that even without him, she would one day become a dominant force.

When they first met, her luck was extraordinary, and her aptitude was top-notch.

Compared to Mie Qiongqi, she was on par.

But to Lin Fan, such aptitude was worthless. Everyone under his tutelage in the Holy Demon Sect had no lack of talent.

Take Zhang Ergou, for instance—his aptitude was like dog shit, yet now he was an exceptional existence.

However, luck was a different matter. You Jiuling's luck was much richer than Zhiqiao's.

But to Lin Fan, none of this mattered. As long as he lived, no one could bully them.

After training, Zhiqiao and You Jiuling stood on either side of Lin Fan.

Lin Fan prepared to impart some techniques to them.

The girl Zhiqiao favored sword techniques, so Lin Fan naturally transmitted the Cangtian Sword, along with One Finger Annihilation, True Essence: Destruction Kick, Kunpeng Breathing, and several other techniques.

Although Kunpeng Breathing was an offensive technique, it also enhanced the absorption of heavenly true essence.

For the girl You Jiuling, he imparted Formless Heavenly Demon, Dragon Emperor Overlording the World, and True Essence: Destruction Kick.

You Jiuling followed a domineering path. These techniques were among those Lin Fan currently had that he felt suitable to teach them; others would not do.

The Blood Sea Demon Art was inherently sinister, and he feared they might stray from the right path.

The Demon City in the Palm was even more insidious and unsuitable for them.

The other techniques were acceptable, and all could reach three levels higher than the original versions allowed.

If they could master them thoroughly, they would possess earth-shattering power, not to be underestimated.

…

“Practice well on your own. Your master is going out for a while.” Lin Fan tore open the void with one hand and stepped into it.

Now was the time to pay a visit to the Profound Sword Pavilion; otherwise, it would be too disrespectful.

Now, with Lin Fan's cultivation, tearing through the void, his walking speed had reached a terrifying level. The faster he moved, the greater the damage the void torrents inflicted on his body.

But to Lin Fan now, these void torrents were nothing at all.

Covering a hundred li in a single step was no problem.

Yet Lin Fan hadn't anticipated one thing: that a simple transmission of techniques would stir up a sense of rivalry between the two children.

"Junior sister, I told you, Master loves me the most." Zhi Qiao looked happily at You Jiuling, her small hand clenched as if she had won a round.

"Master loves me too." You Jiuling refused to concede.

"Hehe, but Master passed on four techniques to me, and only three to you. That's because Master loves me the most, so he gave me one more." Zhi Qiao said cheerfully.

You Jiuling looked at her smug senior sister and pouted, "But just now Master praised me and told me to learn from you, to cultivate properly and not be lazy."

Hearing this, Zhi Qiao felt it seemed true, and a hint of defeat appeared on her little face. But then she grinned and said, "But Master passed on four techniques to me."

"Senior sister, my cultivation is higher than yours. You entered the sect earlier than me, but your cultivation isn't as high. Master must like me more." You Jiuling said.

"What does that matter? I don't care, and Master wouldn't care either." Zhi Qiao lifted her head, turning her little face away. Though her words showed indifference, she was actually quite bothered inside.

"Who says Master doesn't care? My cultivation is higher than yours, so Master definitely likes me more." A victorious smile appeared on You Jiuling's delicate face.

"I don't care! Master just touched my head, but he didn't touch yours." Zhi Qiao said defiantly.

"But my cultivation is higher than yours."

"Master passed on four techniques to me." Zhi Qiao said.

"But my cultivation is higher than yours."

"But I am Master's..."

"But my cultivation is higher than yours."

...

"Wah, junior sister, you're bullying me! I'm not playing with you anymore!" At that moment, Zhi Qiao suddenly burst into tears. Holding her sword in one hand and rubbing her eyes with the other, she walked forward crying, as if deeply hurt.

"I'm never playing with you again..."

You Jiuling now wore a victorious smile, but watching her senior sister's retreating figure, she felt a pang of sadness. She remembered Sister Gong's words: "Though you are the junior sister, your senior sister is still young. In the future, you must protect her well."

"Senior sister, wait for me! I won't make you angry anymore."

...

If Lin Fan knew that after he left, his two little disciples had gotten into a squabble over the technique transmission, he would definitely be clutching his stomach with laughter.

Too funny, really too funny.

...

In the span of a year, many things had happened.

Today happened to be the day of the succession of the sect master of the Xuanjian Sect.

And the new sect master was Xuan Yunxian.

The Xuanjian Sect had little interaction with the Holy Sect, so naturally, they did not notify the Holy Sect of such an important event.

Although Xuan Yunxian often visited Lin Fan at the Holy Sect, now that he was gone, she did not want to use this opportunity to strengthen ties with the Holy Sect.

The previous sect master had hoped that Xuan Yunxian would invite the Holy Sect to attend the new sect master's enthronement.

After all, if the Holy Sect could come, the Xuanjian Sect's position would be even more secure.

Those ill-intentioned sects would also think twice about their own capabilities.

But to Xuan Yunxian, she did not want to do anything that would tarnish the bond between them.

She loved Lin Fan, not because he was from the Holy Sect.

Nor did she want to give rise to gossip.

Thus, the previous sect master said no more and only invited some sects with which they had good relations to attend.
