Zhang Rong Ming's departure made Giant Sword Sect lose the mood to fight for the Heaven Crystal Stone Mine. They had to head back to inform the sect leader about what happened here.
Liuying Sect Deputy Sect Leader was thinking about something.
As higher-ups, they knew about the border matter. After all, it caused a huge commotion. Maigu City was wiped out and numerous experts fell. Naturally, it caused a huge commotion.
Based on what he knew.
Many of the experts in Maigu City were top sect elders or top disciples.
Decades ago, they didn't care about the sect's obstruction and headed to the border to defend against the Alliance.
They were chased out of their sects and became traitors.
In their words, those top sects were so strong, so why didn't they support them? Why did they send mid-tier sects to die? That didn't make sense.
….
"Senior, can I ask how do you cultivate?" Zhang Rong Ming hesitated and felt that it wasn't good to be too direct. However, he really wanted to know.
In his heart, he didn't believe it. How could someone so young reach such a realm? That didn't make sense.
Lin Fan stood with his arms behind his back and smiled, "Nothing much. I am just a little more talented and hardworking."
Even he didn't believe what he said.
But he had no choice. He couldn't say that he had a small support system and that cultivation was like drinking water. As long as he got some rage points, he could add them.
Zhang Rong Ming's eyes opened wide and he shut up. He didn't ask anymore as such a reply was too shallow. Anyone with a brain wouldn't believe it.
"Let's rest here for the night." Lin Fan didn't care whether or not he believed it. No matter who asked, it would always be the same reason and it wouldn't change at all.
Talent and hard work. If such a reason wasn't real enough, then what else could be?
He landed on the ground. Zhang Rong Ming went around to find wood to start a fire. Lin Fan didn't need to do anything at all.
The fire rose up and chased away the darkness around. At the same time, it brought warmth.
Zhang Rong Ming caught a wild boar, skinned it, and barbecued it on the fire.
He didn't regret leaving Giant Sword Sect to follow Lin Fan to the border. Even if he was a little nervous and afraid, he quickly tossed it to the back of his head.
"Senior, can you tell me about the situation at the border?" Zhang Rong Ming sat beside the fire and looked at the burning wood. He was really curious. This was the first time he knew about Alliance's existence and he had never heard of it before.
Lin Fan wanted to check his rage points. When he heard Zhang Rong Ming's question, his expression turned solemn and he said, "If I didn't see it personally, I wouldn't be able to imagine it."
He looked at Zhang Rong Ming, "Maigu City, do you know about it?"
Zhang Rong Ming nodded his head, "I know, I heard people talk about it. It is a poor city and it is located in a remote area."
"Poverty, no, actually it's not poverty. It's just that in the eyes of those who don't know the truth, it's poverty. But in my opinion, it's the richest, the richest in spirit and will. It's not something that can be replaced by ordinary things."
"Unfortunately, Maigu City has disappeared. There were many experts in the city but under the Alliance's attacks, all of them died."
"I've seen a Yin-Yang expert fight one against three. After he killed them, he didn't show any fear when facing someone stronger than him."
"I've also seen someone who was badly injured and unable to fight. To make the Alliance pay the price, he charged into the Alliance and detonated his own True Essence to kill more Alliance experts."
Lin Fan looked at Zhang Rong Ming with a deep gaze.
What he said shook Zhang Rong Ming's heart. He imagined those scenes in his mind and said with a sunken expression, "I didn't expect it to be so intense."
"Right, it was indeed intense but no one regretted it. With their strength, if they were willing to join some faction, they would be able to obtain riches and power. But they didn't. Instead, they willingly hid their names in the city for decades to welcome the Alliance." Lin Fan said solemnly.
After fighting with the Alliance, he knew that they weren't simple.
The Alliance didn't lack experts.
With his current strength, it was just a dream for him to sweep the Alliance.
As for getting stronger to deal with the Alliance, that was a good choice but it consumed too much time. It was hard to say what would happen during this period of time.
What he hoped to do was to kill the Alliance while increasing his strength.
Zhang Rong Ming was filled with respect. He showed the highest respect towards the experts at the border. These were all people who were worthy of his respect.
In fact, he even had a feeling that it was something to be proud of to be able to fight alongside them.
At that moment, footsteps spread out from the distance.
"Someone is here." Zhang Rong Ming was really nervous. He placed his palm on the hilt of his sword and looked into the distance. When one was outside, one had to be careful.
Lin Fan didn't care much. He just took a look and lost interest. When he saw Zhang Rong Ming's nervous expression, he said, "Don't be too nervous, it is nothing."
"Eh." Zhang Rong Ming nodded his head and slowly relaxed. But his habitual sword holding posture didn't change.
Slowly, two people walked over. They were a little blurry but slowly became clearer. They were two tall girls.
"It is so late at night, why would girls appear here?" Lin Fan didn't understand but there were only a few possibilities. They were either enemies or strong people. There definitely weren't any good family girls who had entered this place. That was impossible.
Very quickly, the two girls saw the flames in the distance. They didn't change their path and instead walked over.
"Greetings, Young Masters. My Little Miss and I are passing by and hope to stay here for the night." The girl who spoke looked decent and was a beauty. But her dressing was a little immature. Her tone was easy to get close to but also gave off a feeling like she was pushing people away. It gave one a conflicting feeling.
Zhang Rong Ming looked at the two girls and was shocked. Especially the girl who didn't speak. She was really cold and gave off a really strong aura just by standing there.
It even made Zhang Rong Ming feel like he didn't dare to look straight at her.
As a top disciple of Giant Sword Sect, he had a strong aura around him. For him to have such a feeling now was just unbelievable.
Zhang Rong Ming didn't reply and looked at Lin Fan. It was best if he waited for Senior to speak.
Lin Fan said, "Are you guys good or bad?"
"Young Master, what do you mean by that?" The immature girl asked and didn't understand what he meant.
"It is simple. If you are bad, then I will beat you up. If you are good, then we can sit down and talk." Lin Fan said. If she didn't understand such simple and direct words, then she would be disappointed.
It was obvious that Lin Fan's words stunned the girls.
Especially that cold girl. Although her expression didn't change, a weird look flashed in her eyes.
Zhang Rong Ming was filled with respect. As expected from Senior, he was inferior to him. If Senior wasn't here, maybe he would have been really passionate.
In Lin Fan's words, he was willing to be a happy bootlicker without even knowing it.
Lin Fan smelled something from the girl's body.
It wasn't a normal smell. From her aura and actions, she gave off a signal that she wasn't a normal person.
"Young Master, my Little Miss and I are both good people. Do we look like bad people?" The immature girl smiled. She felt like this person's words were really interesting. She had never met such a person before.
"Hard to say." Lin Fan shook his head. Who knew the truth?
The young woman smiled faintly and took out a piece of cloth from her bag. She placed it on the ground and asked the young miss to sit down. Then, she sat beside the young miss and leaned forward slightly. It was like a protective measure. If there was any danger, she could protect the young miss immediately.
Lin Fan raised his head and looked into the darkness.
He laughed to himself.
As expected, to Zhang Rong Ming, he couldn't sense the situation around but he could sense that in the darkness, there was an expert looking at the situation.
It was quite interesting.
He just didn't expose her.
"Young Masters, my Little Miss and I came from afar and passed by this place. If we did anything wrong, please forgive us."
"Young Masters, you don't know our names, I am …"
Unfortunately, before she could say the name, she was interrupted by Lin Fan.
Lin Fan waved his hands, "There is no need to say it. I am not interested in your names. Moreover, I don't think you will say your real names, so why make me remember two fake names?"
"When the sky turns bright, we will go our separate ways. There is no need to act like we are close."
Zhang Rong Ming was impressed and gave a thumbs up.
Senior was indeed a senior.
Although he didn't give them any face, it made sense.
He felt like he couldn't do that.
If he met two such beautiful girls in the wilderness, naturally, he would be more considerate. He definitely wouldn't be able to be so cold and calm like senior.
"Senior, the meat is ready." Zhang Rong Ming took the wild boar down from the fire and placed it on the prepared leaves. He then looked towards the two girls. If senior wasn't here, he might have asked whether or not they wanted to eat together.
Lin Fan saw Zhang Rong Ming's expression and sighed. This kid was brave and talented, but why did it seem like he had never seen a girl before?
Train him, he had to train him well.
"Eh." Lin Fan grabbed the roasted wild boar and tore off the meat. The meat here was the best. In his last life, it was tough to eat such meat. After all, there was only a small piece and it was hard to buy.
The fragrance spread into his nose.
He didn't think about sharing it with the two girls. Their background was unknown and their status was definitely not simple. They looked cold and distant, so he wouldn't lick their butts.
His words were a little direct.
But just like that, there was no problem at all.
The girl thought to herself, "What an unmannered guy, isn't he going to ask whether or not they want to eat?"
The cold girl didn't react much.
A pair of bright eyes would occasionally look at Lin Fan.
This person wasn't simple.
PS: Zhang Rong Ming was my roommate in university. I wanted to give him a tragic ending, but forget it. Let's see how he treats me.
