"My potted plant in this room hadn't grown much in the past few years. What exactly did you do in these three days to make it grow so fast?!"
Lin Fan: "..."
What did I do?
Awkward.
He touched his nose, feeling a smoothness to the touch, and couldn't help but feel a little timid.
Could it be that I have to tell you that in order to get more information from the Protector Disciple, I ate a few more times and peed a few more times?
Moreover, to avoid revealing that I can't abstain from grains, I had to solve it in the flower pot?
In fact, Lin Fan himself was a little grateful at the moment.
Fortunately, the food they prepared for me was Spirit Fruit, Spirit Liquid, and the like, basically liquid food, with no residue. Otherwise...
If he had to take a dump, he really wouldn't know how to solve it.
Qi Zixiao's image had already disappeared.
Lin Fan scratched the back of his head, the embarrassment gradually subsided, and at the same time, he curiously glanced at the potted plant: "Grows very fast?"
"Uh... it seems to be a lot taller than when I first transmigrated, cough cough."
Then, he made a decision.
Tell Qi Zixiao the answer to the question?
That's definitely not going to work!
If she knew what he had done, who knows if she would go crazy?
"Forget it, let's just pretend I didn't hear the question, um..."
After watching the image left by Qi Zixiao, Lin Fan finally felt a little more relaxed. Before, he could only pretend to be angry and ask indirectly to avoid revealing any flaws.
But now it seems that Qi Zixiao herself is also the kind of extremely aloof 'iceberg' personality. Understanding this, he can pretend to be more 'perfect'. At the same time, learning Qi Zixiao's name and so on is also a significant improvement.
Otherwise...
To give an example.
If Lin Fan controlled Qi Zixiao's body and went out rashly, wanting to explore the situation, and then encountered some elders or other high-ranking figures in the sect...
He could pretend to be absent-minded or something, and pretend not to see them.
But what if they called out to him?
Calling several times, but because he didn't know the name, he didn't react at all? Wouldn't that be obviously suspicious?
Now this problem has been solved.
"So... should I go out for a walk?"
Lin Fan's thoughts became active.
Staying in the room all the time, and he can't cultivate, is he supposed to sit here for three days? That would be too uncomfortable.
The reason he didn't go out for the first three days was because he knew too little information, but now...
Knowing 'who I am' and 'my personality', then he can indeed try to go out.
Of course, the premise is not to have too bad luck, and not to encounter those with high status in the Holy Land, because these people are likely to be extremely strong, and he's afraid they'll see through him.
At the same time, even though he is the Saintess when he meets these people, he probably has to greet them, but he doesn't know them at all, which is also easy to expose...
As for those whose status is not as good as his, what is there to fear?
Since Qi Zixiao's personality is originally aloof and indifferent, unmoved by all things, then when encountering those whose status is not as good as his, he only needs to maintain a 'cold' attitude.
Someone greets him?
Nod or even glance at them, and no one would think there's anything wrong...
"So, am I going to go out, or continue to lay low?"
Choice!
As a modern person, Lin Fan was all too aware of how important choices were.
At this moment, he was facing the first important choice since his transmigration: should he go out as soon as possible to understand this world, or should he continue to lay low until he was confident enough to venture out?
After thinking for a moment, Lin Fan suddenly smiled.
"I'm too nervous..."
"If I'm always so afraid of this and that, when will I ever achieve anything?"
"Now I'm at least a Saintess, and even in the entire Holy Land, there shouldn't be many people with a higher status than me."
"Just taking a stroll shouldn't mean I'll run into those talents so easily, right?"
"Besides, as long as it's not for too long, there shouldn't be any problems."
"So what I need to do now is think of a reason to go out..."
Right now, in the eyes of everyone in the entire Holy Land, this 'Saintess' of his should be in closed-door cultivation, preparing for the First Sequence Battle in a year.
If he didn't break through at this time, but insisted on leaving seclusion...
Even if ordinary disciples weren't qualified to question him, what if his 'Master' or someone else asked?
He would need an explanation.
"Then... I'll say I had a sudden inspiration and went out for a walk?"
"Anyway, those cultivators in novels are all mystical and mysterious. The more profound I make it sound, the easier it will be to convince people, so... let's do it!"
After thinking it over and considering many details, Lin Fan stood in front of the mirror, tidied up his appearance, and recalled the image Qi Zixiao had left behind, trying to make his expression as close to that image as possible.
Creak...
The door opened.
The Protector Disciples guarding the door, Chen Cheng and Zhou Yining, immediately bowed and saluted, "Saintess..."
"I had some insights during my closed-door cultivation these past few days..."
Lin Fan said 'coldly', "The two of you, accompany me for a walk."
"Yes."
The two women responded.
Seeing that they didn't seem to suspect anything, Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
"As expected, I should just bluff, the more mysterious the better~"
Then, he added, "However, time is tight. I will devote most of my mind to deducing the method of breakthrough. If we encounter any Sect elders who need to be greeted, remember to wake me up."
Chen Cheng and the two women easily accepted this explanation and nodded in agreement.
This wasn't really a strange thing.
Wasn't it just walking and thinking, afraid of neglecting the elders?
It was just said in a more mysterious way...
"I wonder where the Saintess would like to take a walk?"
Zhou Yining asked softly.
Lin Fan's expression remained unchanged, but in his heart, he became active.
Where to go for a walk? How would I know?
I'm not familiar with this Purple Mansion Holy Land!
Could he just say he was taking a random stroll?
For a time, he was lost in thought.
Wandering around casually could deepen my understanding of the Purple Mansion Holy Land, which would definitely be beneficial, and not just a little.
But... it's too slow!
Going out carries the risk of exposure. This being my first time out, I need to get some benefits, right?
So, I need to lock onto a target.
What target?
Although my understanding of the Purple Mansion Holy Land is close to zero, Lin Fan has his own considerations.
Even if I haven't eaten pork, haven't I seen a pig run?
I've read quite a few cultivation novels, and the organizational structure of those cultivation sects, big and small, are actually 'roughly the same'!
Thinking of this, Lin Fan quietly spoke.
Please recommend me, big shots!
