Emperor Xuan looked at the young man before him with some confusion. He couldn’t sense any energy from him, nor could he determine his cultivation level, yet there was an aura of calm detachment about him, as if he stood above everything else.
As for ordinary people, that wasn’t even a possibility. There was only one explanation—this person must be extremely powerful.
Just as Emperor Xuan was about to speak, Xuan Yunxian suddenly stepped forward and spoke.
“Is it really you?” A trace of hope flickered across Xuan Yunxian’s breathtakingly beautiful face.
At the moment Xuan Yunxian spoke, the members of Xuan Sword Sect were slightly taken aback.
Could it be that Yunxian knew this person?
Standing there, Lin Fan was utterly stunned. What was going on?
He had imagined every possible scenario, but never this.
If Xuan Yunxian truly remembered him, she certainly wouldn’t reveal it in front of the sect leader. She should have waited until late at night, sneaking quietly into his room to ask him privately.
But the current situation was completely out of control, as if she was determined to get to the bottom of it no matter what.
“Yunxian, do you know him?” Emperor Xuan asked beside her.
However, Emperor Xuan’s question went unheard by Xuan Yunxian, who asked again with urgency.
“Is it you?” Xuan Yunxian hesitated inwardly, her heart uncertain. She was waiting for his answer.
Lin Fan stood motionless, not uttering a word, completely at a loss for how to respond.
This was a situation he had never even considered.
Looking into Xuan Yunxian’s eyes, filled with eager anticipation, Lin Fan could only wish he could slap himself hard.
Damn it, why did he have to show off back then? Now he was facing a massive pile of trouble.
Thinking back, Lin Fan could still clearly remember the words he had spoken.
“It is my honor to leave the hope of survival to a beauty like you. The moment I saw you, I was captivated by your aura. I hope you won’t forget me…”
“Don’t speak. In the final moments before death, merely gazing at you is a luxury. Take care…”
Recalling these words, Lin Fan felt like crying. Luxury, my ass…
At the time, he thought he had pulled off the act perfectly, but now he could only curse his own foolishness. It had only brought him trouble.
Especially remembering how he had delivered those lines with such dramatic flair, his facial expressions spot on—anyone with a heart would have been moved.
Lin Fan had no idea how deeply those words had impacted Xuan Yunxian.
Xuan Yunxian had lived her entire life within Xuan Sword Sect, never having such intimate contact with any strange man. Though she had reached the age of thirty and remained a virgin, her heart still held the innocent dreams of a young girl.
At that time, those words had planted a seed deep in her heart. Every night, as she gazed at the full moon, she would fall into a long silence.
Her personality had grown quieter than before.
Now, the sect leader and the elders exchanged glances, sensing something was off.
The disciples who surrounded Lin Fan also changed expressions slightly. They could feel the endless longing hidden in that one sentence.
At this moment, the disciples exchanged glances, all struck by the same shocking thought.
Could it be that Elder Yunxian had some kind of relationship with this man…?
Thinking of how cold and distant Xuan Yunxian usually was, none of them could imagine any man capable of capturing her heart.
Lin Fan, meanwhile, felt a growing discomfort. This pressure was just too damn suffocating.
Before his reincarnation, Lin Fan had been a pure virgin, having watched countless adult films but still maintaining a heart as innocent as untouched paper.
To him, who had seen so much, women were nothing more than beautiful illusions—fleeting as flesh and bone.
The truth was, no woman had ever looked at him with such deep emotion.
Now, faced with Xuan Yunxian’s passionate gaze, Lin Fan felt uneasy. No matter how strong his cultivation, at this moment, he was at a complete loss.
“It’s you, isn’t it?” Xuan Yunxian took another step forward, her beautiful face filled with desperate hope for an answer.
Lin Fan instinctively took a step back, his eyes shifting uneasily, trying to avoid her gaze, which seemed ready to devour him whole.
Yes or no?
Lin Fan wanted to say no, but when he saw the yearning in her eyes, he hesitated.
Damn it, since when had he become so cowardly?
Even if he admitted it, what could she do? Would she really eat him?
“Hey, long time no see,” Lin Fan took a deep breath, forcing a faint smile, trying to appear calm as he raised his hand slightly in greeting.
But just then, Lin Fan was utterly stunned…
A faint fragrance filled the air.
Suddenly, a figure threw itself into Lin Fan’s arms.
“I knew it was you. How could you possibly die…” Xuan Yunxian buried herself into Lin Fan’s chest, her voice trembling with emotion.
At this moment, Lin Fan nearly burst into tears. What the hell was going on?
That day… that day, he had only spoken a few extra words, right?
He hadn’t even done anything…
At this moment, Lin Fan was completely frozen, his hands hanging uselessly at his sides, unsure of where to put them.
He truly didn’t know what to do.
It all happened too suddenly, catching him completely off guard.
And it wasn’t just him who was stunned—everyone from Xuan Sword Sect was equally shocked.
Emperor Xuan instinctively took a step back, his aged face filled with disbelief.
His most cherished disciple… how could she have a romantic entanglement? Impossible. Absolutely impossible.
The elders shared the same sentiment. Xuan Yunxian had been groomed as the next sect leader, yet now something like this had happened. What were they to do?
The female disciples of Xuan Sword Sect watched the scene unfold. Some were moved, while others, like the sect leader, were simply stunned.
How could Elder Yunxian suddenly act like this…
At that moment, one disciple turned and ran toward the distance.
Liu Lingfeng had been feeling lonely lately. Sitting in front of the mirror, he delicately touched his cheek with a graceful finger.
He had no interest in the cosmetics on the dresser before him.
So lonely…
He was missing someone.
Bang!
Suddenly, the door to the room was pushed open. Liu Lingfeng’s expression darkened. How impolite these disciples had become. He would have to scold them severely.
“Senior Brother Liu! Something terrible has happened! Your master is outside the grand hall, hugging a man!” The female disciple rushed in, breathless.
“What the hell!” Liu Lingfeng’s voice cracked with shock. He immediately stood up in anger. “Are you absolutely certain?”
“Yes! They’re still there!” the disciple replied hastily.
At that moment, a glint of killing intent flashed in Liu Lingfeng’s eyes. His heart burned with rage—who was that bastard daring to steal his master away.
