All the disciples who were here to take part in the test were completely dumbfounded. They did not know what was going on. Why would the tribute statue make such a loud noise? And who was the one speaking at the same time? Could it be a ghost?
This voice reverberated throughout the entire Glory Sect.
"... I'm back …!"
On Nameless Peak, Zhang Ergou was contemplating if he should head down the mountain to pick out some good seedlings. But just then, a voice rang out.
Zhang Ergou stood there in a daze, looking into the distance in disbelief. His eyes were twitching.
That voice was familiar yet foreign at the same time, as though he had not heard it for a long, long time.
Was it a hallucination?
Zhang Ergou stood there silently for a moment before dashing down the mountain.
"Master … it must be Master!"
Following closely behind him were Tian Yu, Feng Bujue, Zhiqiao, and the others.
Within the seclusion grounds of Nameless Peak, a strong aura rippled out. A figure then tore through the void and headed straight for the tribute statue.
The entire Glory Sect was in an uproar right now.
Grandmaster Yan, Senior Elder Wuya, and the rest, as well as the inner and outer sect disciples, walked out of their rooms and headed towards the tribute statue.
...
"Holy f * ck! Just how long has it been? Why is my head so groggy?" Lin Fan sat in the crystal coffin and looked around. A single glance was all he could see.
"Eh? Why am I at such a high position?" Lin Fan scratched his head, confused.
"Chick, wake up!" Looking at Chicky lying at the side with his head tilted and tongue sticking out, Lin Fan picked him up and gave him two tight slaps as well.
"Cuckcuckoo …!" Chick opened his blurry eyes, not knowing what was going on.
Chick leaped onto Lin Fan's shoulders and sat down. Just like Lin Fan, he looked around at the world in a daze.
It was as if he had been asleep for too long and his brain had yet to work properly.
As time ticked by, Lin Fan remained motionless in the crystal sarcophagus.
At this moment, everyone was standing under the tribute statue.
"Grandmaster, has Junior Master come back to life?" Zong Hentian asked with a quivering body. His eyes were filled with anticipation.
Grandmaster Yan and the others were stumped as well. They did not know what was going on.
Zhang Ergou and the others clenched their fists tightly. They were waiting, but they couldn't help but feel excited.
"Sect Master … is it you?" Zhang Ergou roared with tears in his eyes.
"Teacher …!" Zhiqiao called out from below.
...
"Everyone, don't be anxious. Wait a moment." Grandmaster Yan opened his mouth and took a step forth, as though he was protecting everyone behind him.
All the Senior Elders were the same. Even though their hearts were filled with hope, this was way too weird.
Lin Fan was indeed dead. This was something that they had checked. But now that he had suddenly come back to life and was sitting there motionlessly, it was extremely strange.
...
Sitting in the crystal sarcophagus, Lin Fan's brain was gradually recovering.
'Young Master was prepared to play dead for 10 days. But how long has it been now? Could it be that I'm currently staying on the Heaven Sacrificial Statue? " Lin Fan touched the crystal sarcophagus with both hands and looked at the statue. At the same time, he heard the shouts from below. He stood up and leaped down from the tribute statue.
Everyone stared at the familiar figure in front of them, and all of them became excited.
Grandmaster Yan stood there. Even though his face was calm, his heart was filled with anxiety.
Lin Fan did not say anything. He just looked at everyone calmly.
One by one, familiar faces entered his eyes.
Zhang Ergou looked even more wretched now.
Feng Bujue looked much more mature now. But why were his eyes so red?
That lass, Zhiqiao! She had grown much taller!
Eh? Whose was this? Oh, right! This was a disciple he had taken in. Her name was You Jiuling!
...
At this moment, everyone was holding their breaths, anticipating and waiting for the result …
The inner sect disciples gripped their fists tightly as well. It must be Junior Master! It must be Junior Master!
All the people who had come from all directions to participate in the test were stumped. What the hell was going on? Why did this guy look so much like the statue?!
...
Lin Fan looked at the crowd and was puzzled. Why wasn't anyone saying anything? Could it be that you don't recognize Yours Truly anymore?
Sigh, seemed like he had to greet them first.
These people were way too disrespectful to a hero. But forget it. Who asked him to have such a big heart and to love them so much? He would forgive them then.
"Hey everyone, long time no see …" Lin Fan waved and greeted the crowd.
And just as Lin Fan finished his sentence, something shocking happened to Lin Fan.
"Ah … it's Junior Master! It's really Junior Master!"
"Only Junior Master would say something like that! It's been a year! To think that I could see Junior Master's smile once more!"
"Didn't I say that Junior Master wouldn't die? How could someone as powerful as Junior Master die?"
"I've dreamt of Junior Master every night! He's alive! I knew it! He must be alive!"
At this moment, all of the inner and outer disciples were extremely excited. One by one, they wiped the corners of their eyes and exclaimed excitedly.
"Grandmaster …!" Zhang Ergou, Mieqiongqi, and the others rushed up and hugged Lin Fan tightly.
"Grandmaster, I've missed you so much!" Zhang Ergou hugged Lin Fan tightly with tears and snot all over his face. He was so emotional that he was about to explode. Pouting his lips, he kissed Lin Fan's face.
Lin Fan listened to the chatter around him. When he heard the word 'a year', he was stunned. To think that he had really been dead for an entire year! This was something that left Lin Fan in disbelief.
Looking at the faces of the crowd, Lin Fan felt that he had let them down.
But Lin Fan was prepared to hide all of this in his heart. Only he and Chick knew about it.
Unknowingly, the Young Master had been liked by so many people.
Perhaps the reason why he wanted to get stronger wasn't for revenge, but to protect these people. He shouldn't lose these smiling faces.
Gradually, Lin Fan seemed to have understood quite a bit. But when he saw the state of Zhang Ergou, Lin Fan exploded. Bloody hell! What was this Ergou trying to do?
"Ergou, what are you trying to do? If you dare to kiss me, I'll slice you to death! "Lin Fan's scalp was about to explode.
"Grandmaster, as long as you're alive, I'll be happy even if you slice me every day!" Zhang Ergou struggled, trying to kiss Lin Fan's face.
"Ergou, how did you turn into this? Are you still the Ergou I knew?"
"Mieqiongqi, Feng Bujue, what are you guys trying to do now? Don't go overboard …!" Being hugged by these three men, Lin Fan was truly afraid.
"Grandmaster, we've missed you so much! It's been a year …!"
Hearing these words, Lin Fan's lips curled into a smile, "Alright, I'm alive now, aren't I? All of you grown men, scram to one side. I've got to see my precious disciple."
"Master …!"
Lin Fan hugged Cai Zhiqiao up and fondled her head gently, "You've grown taller."
Cai Zhiqiao's eyes were red as she wrapped her arms around Lin Fan's neck and clung onto his shoulders.
You Jiuling stood there and looked at her senior sister enviously. But she had only met her master once. Did her master remember her?
"Jiuling, why aren't you hugging your master?" Lin Fan beckoned to You Jiuling.
You Jiuling was stunned for a moment. That exquisite face of hers let out a radiant smile as she jogged over and shouted happily, "Master …!"
Hugging one in each arm, Lin Fan burst out laughing.
This was a feeling that was way too good!
What a blessing it was to have a master as such!
To Zhang Ergou and the others, now that their master was alive, it was as though they had found their pillar of support.
Gong Bingye stood within the crowd and wiped the tears from her eyes silently.
