“Xia Gege, there’s a cave ahead, perfect for sheltering from the rain.” At that moment, a female voice came from outside the cave, followed shortly by a male voice, sounding somewhat youthful.
“Okay, be careful, Yuhan,” Xia Youtian replied with concern.
…
“What’s going on?” As the two entered the cave, Lin Fan pretended to wake up and asked.
Upon hearing someone, Xia Youtian immediately became alert, glancing warily at the speaker. However, as he detected no energy presence, he relaxed, realizing it was just an ordinary person.
“Esteemed sir, it’s raining heavily outside, so we’re staying here for the night,” Xia Youtian politely explained.
“Oh, that’s fine. There’s a fire over there to warm yourselves. The humidity from the rain can easily lead to illness,” Lin Fan sat upright. In the darkness of the cave, the firelight barely illuminated the space.
“Okay,” Xia Youtian nodded, then asked He Yuhan to sit down. They both sat cross-legged, circulating their energy, and soon a white mist surrounded them. Their slightly damp clothes dried instantly.
“Oh, so you two are martial cultivators,” Lin Fan pretended to be surprised.
“Yes, may I ask where you’re from, sir?” Xia Youtian smiled but remained highly cautious.
He had just escaped from his family, having narrowly avoided three ambushes on the way. If not for the rain, he wouldn’t have stopped here.
However, with the rain outside, their footprints and scents should have been washed away, making it hard for his pursuers to find him.
“Just an ordinary person from the Qin Shen Dynasty,” Lin Fan replied with a smile.
“Xia Gege, eat this,” He Yuhan said, taking out a pill from her storage ring. As soon as the pill was exposed, a fragrant aroma filled the cave.
“So fragrant…” Lin Fan feigned surprise, pretending not to recognize the pill’s value.
“It’s just an ordinary pill for expelling cold, nothing special,” Xia Youtian patted He Yuhan’s hand, signaling her not to show off too much.
If it weren’t for He Yuhan’s help, he wouldn’t have escaped from his family, but he had also dragged her into this mess.
He Yuhan looked at Lin Fan, her eyes carrying a subtle smile.
This smile, however, was more like a warning, as if saying, whoever you are, better behave yourself.
“Oh…” Lin Fan said nothing more, then lay down. “You two rest early. I’m going to sleep first. I have a long way to go tomorrow.”
“Okay…”
The night was quiet, and Xia Youtian and He Yuhan were whispering to each other.
This time, framed and betrayed, he couldn’t stay in the family he had lived with for seventeen years. If it weren’t for Yuhan’s help, he might have died at the hands of those poisoned people.
Although he knew Yuhan wasn’t an ordinary girl, having known her since childhood, Xia Youtian naturally had no suspicions.
Now at the early stage of divine cultivation, Xia Youtian understood that much of his progress was due to Yuhan’s help.
Over the years, Yuhan often shared unknown pills with him. Although she always said they were just ordinary pills, Xia Youtian wasn’t foolish. He knew these pills were extraordinary because after taking them, he felt his cultivation speed significantly increase.
“Let’s sleep first,” Xia Youtian glanced at Lin Fan and said to He Yuhan.
“Okay.”
…
Lin Fan hadn’t fallen asleep. His mind kept thinking about the two.
This kid was obviously a nobody, with weak cultivation and no value whatsoever.
But the little girl beside him was different. Her cultivation was much higher than his, even surpassing most people Lin Fan had encountered.
At the peak of divine cultivation.
This level might not seem impressive, but to Lin Fan, it was strange for a young girl to possess such power.
And the pill she had taken out earlier was also extraordinary. As a master alchemist, Lin Fan could identify a pill’s quality just by its scent.
That pill was a high-grade earth-tier pill, which was already quite valuable even within sects. Being able to casually produce it meant she was definitely no ordinary person.
At this moment, Lin Fan couldn’t help but entertain thoughts of robbery.
Gradually, the cave grew quieter, with only soft breathing sounds.
In the darkness, a pair of glowing eyes kept moving.
Lin Fan felt it was necessary to teach these two kids a lesson. How could they sleep so soundly when traveling outside? What if they encountered a bad person?
Although they might lose some possessions now, it was better than being killed mysteriously in the future.
With a heart full of “benevolence,” Lin Fan quietly stood up, moving with extreme lightness, his technique at its peak, making no sound at all.
Even the girl at the peak of divine cultivation wouldn’t sense the slightest movement.
Lin Fan quietly approached them, not minding giving them a good knock on the head.
As he reached them, a slight smile appeared on Lin Fan’s lips. Looking at the two sound asleep, he couldn’t help but exclaim, what a pair of golden boy and girl.
Actually, it wasn’t that Xia Youtian and He Yuhan were sleeping too soundly, but that Lin Fan’s technique was too strong, so strong that they couldn’t sense even the slightest movement. Even Lin Fan’s own energy presence was completely undetectable.
If they closed their eyes, Lin Fan would be like invisible in front of them.
“Hehe…” Lin Fan secretly chuckled, then turned his gaze to the ring on He Yuhan’s finger.
The ring sparkled in the darkness, like a star in the sky, so eye-catching.
“Sorry about this.”
At this moment, Lin Fan stretched out his “evil” hand, but suddenly, he stopped.
Because in that instant, Lin Fan felt a killing intent locking onto him.
It felt as if, the moment he made a move, the opponent could kill him instantly.
In that split second, Lin Fan’s brain raced.
This presence was very strong, far beyond his capabilities. But with the defensive power of the “Indestructible Demon Body,” he wondered if he could survive.
The hidden expert wasn’t moving, clearly waiting for him to act.
The expert wasn’t revealing himself now, definitely to protect these two. And someone who could willingly have a powerful expert hiding to protect them, the things in that storage ring must all be treasures.
To rob or not to rob?
At this moment, Lin Fan hesitated. “Damn, bad luck from the start.”
Lin Fan felt somewhat annoyed. How could his fortune be so fickle? Finding a rich target, yet unable to take advantage.
“The humidity is so high, shouldn’t we cover them with something? What if they catch a cold?” Reluctantly, Lin Fan took his blanket and gently covered the two, then shook his head and returned to lie down, turning his body to continue sleeping. At this moment, the presence that had locked onto him also disappeared, as if it had never existed.
At this moment, two tear marks appeared at the corners of Lin Fan’s eyes, a painful realization.
At this time, the sleeping He Yuhan slightly opened her eyes, a faint meaningful smile appeared on her lips, and then she continued to sleep.
But now Lin Fan couldn’t fall asleep no matter how hard he tried.
The first time he was so eager to rob but ended in failure; Lin Fan felt不甘 in his heart. Hidden in the dark, he muttered, “You better not let me catch you next time, or I’ll strip you naked.”
