If He Came to Ten Thousand Years Later, Could He Become the Strongest of the Era?

On the way back, the three of them drew quite a few looks.

It had to be said that with two beautiful young women by his side, coupled with Lin Fan's own striking appearance, the three of them walking together were practically a dazzling sight.

When the passersby saw them, they instinctively stepped aside to make way. Even from afar, the three of them did not seem like ordinary people.

They were heading back toward Shrek Academy from the town when they happened to pass a restaurant. Ling Luochеn had not chosen to return directly to the academy with Lin Fan and the others using a Flying Soul Tool because she wanted to treat Lin Fan to a meal here.

"The food here is pretty good. I've eaten here a few times before."

Ling Luochеn stopped and turned to look at Lin Fan as she asked.

"Why wait for another day when today will do? I said I'd treat you to a meal, so how about today? Yaozhu, you should join us too."

Lin Fan did not refuse. He nodded and casually agreed.

"Then I'll gladly accept."

Naturally, Leng Yaozhu had no objections either and immediately agreed.

The three of them entered the restaurant, found a seat by the window, ordered several dishes, and fell quiet for a moment.

Leaning back in his chair, Lin Fan swept his gaze over Ling Luochеn and Leng Yaozhu's faces. With a smile on his lips, he said,

"It's truly an honor to have two beautiful young women accompany me for lunch today."

Hearing that, Ling Luochеn could not help but chuckle. Her cool eyes carried a hint of reproach.

"Smooth talker."

Watching their interaction, Leng Yaozhu could not help but feel something indescribable stir within her.

When she had first seen Ling Luochеn, she had assumed that Ling Luochеn was the quiet, aloof sort of girl. After all, that icy temperament was right there for all to see, and she did not seem like someone who would take the initiative to talk to others.

But after interacting with her, Leng Yaozhu realized that Ling Luochеn was not like that. At the very least, she did not show that coldness toward Lin Fan. When speaking to him, her tone was noticeably gentler, and she even smiled from time to time.

Leng Yaozhu could not say what exactly she was feeling. It just felt a little strange, yet she could not tell what was strange about it.

Just as she was lost in thought, Ling Luochеn suddenly turned to her and asked,

"By the way, Yaozhu, how did you and Lin Fan meet?"

There was a hint of curiosity in Ling Luochеn's voice. In her opinion, ordinary people were not qualified to pass through that Space Gate with Lin Fan.

Leng Yaozhu was momentarily stunned by the question.

Her encounter with Lin Fan... that was a long story.

She had been sent directly to ten thousand years in the past by a beam of light, and when she appeared, she had landed right in Lin Fan's arms. It probably would not be appropriate to say something like that, would it?

Especially since Lin Fan and Ling Luochеn seemed to share an unusual relationship. If she revealed such a thing, it might cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

For a moment, Leng Yaozhu did not know how to answer. Fragments of information about history from ten thousand years ago began surfacing in her mind.

She did know some things. It was said that Huo Yuhao and the others had once replaced that generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament. She did not know why there had been a problem, only that that generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters had suffered devastating casualties. Even so, Huo Yuhao and the others had still claimed final victory in that tournament.

It sounded utterly absurd, but considering Huo Yuhao's future achievements, it was not impossible.

However, Leng Yaozhu was naturally not foolish enough to tell Ling Luochеn, "Your generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters might run into trouble and suffer devastating casualties." If she really said that, she would only make herself disliked.

While Leng Yaozhu was spacing out, Lin Fan smiled and came to her rescue.

"Leng Yaozhu and I haven't known each other for long. She has reasons why she can't return home for now, so I'm helping her find a place to stay first."

"When my conflict with Yan Shaozhe broke out, she happened to be there. After it ended, I saw your message, so I brought her along."

Hearing Lin Fan's explanation, Leng Yaozhu could not help but marvel at how well he spoke. In just a few words, he had brushed the matter aside without exposing her origins.

As for whether Lin Fan knew she was from another era, Leng Yaozhu felt that he did. After all, she had given Lin Fan a Black-Rank Mecha, something that absolutely could not have appeared in this era.

She had also asked him at the beginning who the current Sea God Pavilion Master was. Lin Fan clearly knew who she was.

Still, the fact that he had not brought it up now made Leng Yaozhu breathe a quiet sigh of relief.

But... unable to return home.

Thinking of that, Leng Yaozhu let out a soft sigh in her heart. Given her current situation, how could she possibly return home?

She did not even know what the Leng Family had been like ten thousand years ago. As a traveler through time, she was like duckweed without roots.

Ling Luochеn did not continue questioning her about the matter. Instead, she turned to Lin Fan and asked,

"How do you plan to deal with Xuan Zi?"

Hearing that, Lin Fan chuckled, his smile carrying a profound meaning.

"What else can I do? Debts that need settling must naturally be settled properly."

Then Lin Fan's gaze fell on Ling Luochеn, and he smiled as he asked,

"When the time comes... whose side will you stand on?"

Ling Luochеn rolled her eyes prettily at him, her cool face carrying a hint of helplessness.

"Do you even need to ask? Of course I'll stand with you."

After hearing that, Leng Yaozhu continued studying the two of them. Did they really have no relationship at all?

If they truly had a relationship, then why had Lin Fan brought her along too?

After all, explaining her identity was an extremely complicated matter. Moreover, Leng Yaozhu was quite confident in her own appearance, which could easily make other girls feel insecure.

At this moment, ten thousand years later, in the main hall of the Leng Family, the Head of the Leng Family watched the scene within the Light Screen and let out a somewhat depressed sigh.

He had taken a liking to Lin Fan as a son-in-law. Although Lin Fan was from ten thousand years ago, judging by their current ages, Lin Fan and Leng Yaozhu were about the same age. Standing together, they looked like a perfect match.

As for whether Lin Fan could break through Rank 95, the Head of the Leng Family did not care much. In his view, with the spatial control and combat strength Lin Fan had displayed, even if he remained at Rank 94 for the rest of his life, he would still be able to dominate the world of Soul Masters.

Especially if Lin Fan came to ten thousand years later and became a Four-Word Battle Armor Master... could he perhaps become the strongest of the era?

But his daughter... why was she not taking the initiative at all?

The Head of the Leng Family shook his head and sighed again, but in the end, he did not say anything more.

"If Yaozhu likes him, that would naturally be for the best. If she doesn't... I certainly won't force her."
