After listening to Liu Mengli's words, Lin Fan asked curiously, "Then why didn't you take the Fallen Heart Flame back then, senior?"
"Hehe."
Liu Mengli sneered, then said disdainfully, "That thing is useless to me, what would I do with it?"
Uh~
Lin Fan's lips twitched. "Let's not delay, let's go now."
As he spoke, he walked directly towards a certain place.
"Wait." Liu Mengli suddenly called out to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan paused, then asked, "What's wrong?"
Liu Mengli asked, "Do you know where Spirit Flame Mountain is?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Fan's expression froze instantly. "Um... I don't think I know."
Liu Mengli covered her face, speechless, and said, "I thought you knew, that's why you left so decisively."
"Haha." Lin Fan laughed, trying to ease the awkwardness.
Liu Mengli shook her head, then told Lin Fan the location of Spirit Flame Mountain.
After obtaining the location of Spirit Flame Mountain, Lin Fan headed there without any hesitation.
At this moment, all he wanted was to cultivate diligently and strive to gain Su Chen's forgiveness.
On the other side, along the road, Jianxin hesitated for a moment, then said, "Master, aren't you being too strict with Senior Brother?"
Su Chen glanced at Jianxin, "I went through all that trouble to bring him to find the inheritance, and he actually gave it to someone else. I'm being lenient by not hitting him!"
Jianxin was speechless for a moment, because Su Chen was telling the truth. If he were Su Chen, he would also be angry about what Lin Fan had done.
Jianxin was silent for a moment, then said, "So you really intend to let your senior brother surpass you before you forgive him? To be honest, isn't that asking too much?"
Surpass Su Chen?
Holy crap, he wouldn't even dare to imagine that!
Perhaps, it can only be done in dreams?
Su Chen rolled his eyes. "Can't I even say hurtful things?"
Upon hearing this, Jianxin quickly replied, "Yes, yes, of course I can. After all, Senior Brother went too far. It's understandable that you said those words in anger."
After saying that, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He was genuinely afraid that Su Chen was serious. If Su Chen was serious, then he, as the senior brother, would be finished. Fortunately, Su Chen was just saying it in anger.
Su Chen shook his head and ignored Jianxin.
Jianxin then continued, "Master, could you please come with me to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect?"
Su Chen glanced at Jianxin but remained silent.
Jianxin hesitated for a moment, then said, "I've taken on a master outside the sect, but the elders and sect leader definitely won't approve. So, I'd like you to accompany me to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect to show them what I've got."
After saying that, he looked at Su Chen, and became somewhat nervous.
Su Chen thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll go show off my skills."
Jianxin smiled and said, "Mhm!"
If the sect leader and elders knew I had such an amazing master, their jaws would probably drop in astonishment!
Thinking about it, Jianxin felt a little excited.
Three days later.
The Ten Thousand Swords Sect was built amidst a cluster of mountains. From afar, the undulating mountains resembled elders drifting in the clouds; up close, the continuous peaks looked like giants standing tall, majestic and awe-inspiring.
Looking at the entrance to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, Jianxin smiled, "We've finally arrived."
Su Chen, standing to the side, remained calm and silent.
Suddenly, two figures appeared in the arena. Both were young men, dressed in white robes, and their bodies were surrounded by Sword Qi.
The two were initially wary, but the moment they saw Jianxin, they became excited and shouted in unison, "Senior Brother? You're back!"
Jianxin smiled and said, "Mhm."
After carefully examining Jianxin, one of them exclaimed in shock, "Senior brother, you've obtained the inheritance of that secret realm?"
Jianxin looked at the man and smiled, "Hmm."
The man exclaimed excitedly, "I really got it!"
Another young man standing nearby also became excited.
Jianxin asked curiously, "How did you know?"
The man forced himself to calm his excitement and said, "I notice that you, Senior Brother, have a different aura than before. You've become more mysterious and unfathomable. Therefore, I suspect that you have obtained the inheritance of that secret realm."
After hearing the man's explanation, Jianxin suddenly understood. Then, he looked at himself and realized that he was indeed different from before, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it; he just felt different.
At this moment, the two noticed Su Chen standing to the side.
One of them asked, "Senior brother, who is he?"
Jianxin glanced at Su Chen, then said directly, "My master!"
"Master?"
Upon hearing this, both of them were shocked.
They were first shocked that Jianxin had actually taken someone else as his master, and then they were even more shocked that Jianxin had found such a young master!
This left them quite puzzled.
One of them transmitted his voice to Jianxin, "Senior brother, I won't go into the matter of you becoming my disciple, but why did you choose such a young master? Are you kidding us?"
Jianxin blinked. "My master is incredibly powerful."
Upon hearing Jianxin's words, the two were filled with questions, and then they looked at Su Chen again.
But all they found was that Su Chen was no different from anyone else except for being a little better looking and having a better temperament. Moreover, Su Chen had no aura at all, just like an ordinary person.
At that moment, the two felt that Jianxin was teasing them.
Jianxin suddenly said, "Alright, I need to take my master to see the sect leader, so I won't talk to you anymore."
With that, he ignored the two of them and led Su Chen into the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
The two did not stop them, but instead watched Su Chen and Jianxin's backs.
Normally, outsiders are not allowed to enter the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, but since Jianxin is the senior disciple, they naturally have to give him some face. Besides, they don't dare to stop him.
The two looked at each other, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
One of them said, "Senior brother doesn't seem to be joking."
The other person frowned and said, "I can't understand, I really can't understand."
The man shook his head and said, "I don't understand either."
Upon entering the Myriad Swords Sect, Su Chen and his companion encountered many disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. These disciples bowed to Jianxin upon seeing him, and Jianxin returned their bows in return.
Jianxin is the strongest disciple in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, even stronger than the elders. Therefore, every disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect respects Jianxin.
"Who's that guy next to the senior brother? He's so handsome!"
"Hehe... hehe... I wish that person were my partner, hehe..."
"He's so handsome, I really want to have his baby!"
"That's it, I feel like I might have a hard time falling in love with someone else in the future."
After Su Chen and his companion left, the disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect began to discuss Su Chen, especially the female disciples, all of whom blushed and felt hot.
