Chapter 337: The Promised Hint, But Where Is the Person?

The members of Xuanjian Pavilion were rushing over from afar at this moment.

Back at Xuanjian Pavilion, they had sensed a powerful aura from the distance, which had permeated the entire sky and earth. Under the pressure of these two formidable presences, their hearts had felt as if suffocating.

But soon, that aura vanished.

The disciples of Xuanjian Pavilion didn’t know what had happened or what had occurred over there.

Xuan Yunxian, deeply worried, disregarded the objections of the Sect Leader and left the sect to rush here. To prevent any mishap, the Sect Leader eventually followed closely behind with the senior elders.

When Xuan Yunxian saw the figure standing there, she couldn’t help but feel relieved. As long as he was safe, that was all that mattered.

Lin Fan was already somewhat helpless. Just as he was about to leave, he hadn’t expected them to arrive.

Especially when he saw Liu Lingfeng, Lin Fan felt a headache coming on. If he had known it would turn out like this, he really shouldn’t have trained that guy back then.

In the end, Lin Fan was helplessly invited back to Xuanjian Pavilion.

To the disciples of Xuanjian Pavilion, Lin Fan was their savior, and more importantly, to Xuan Yunxian, he was her partner.

Whether Lin Fan acknowledged it or not, this title had already become a fact in the eyes of the Xuanjian Pavilion disciples.

Inside Xuanjian Pavilion.

Looking at the way the disciples were gazing at him, Lin Fan couldn’t help but sigh. This was just too awkward.

Especially when he noticed Xuan Yunxian’s affectionate gaze, Lin Fan was at a loss for words.

Just a few words spoken in jest had caused this situation. It was nothing short of a tragedy.

As night fell.

Lin Fan was still at Xuanjian Pavilion. Because the hospitality of the sect was so overwhelming, he felt it would be impolite to refuse, so he decided to stay the night and leave the next day.

The completion rate of the Water Rule had already reached 30%. Perhaps by tomorrow, he would be able to condense the first Rule Chain.

Just then, Lin Fan suddenly opened his eyes. He sensed someone approaching from outside.

Lin Fan could only hope it wasn’t Liu Lingfeng, that effeminate guy.

But when he saw who it was, Lin Fan was momentarily stunned, his heart fluttering slightly.

At this hour of the night, what did Xuan Yunxian want here?

Could it be… could it be…?

Lin Fan’s heart started to beat a little faster. A wild thought suddenly popped into his mind.

Could it be that Xuan Yunxian had come for that reason?

Now dressed differently, Xuan Yunxian exuded an even more captivating charm.

Her delicate face radiated a pale glow, her lips slightly reddened, as if she had carefully groomed herself.

Carrying a tray of food and wine, she approached slowly. Under the night sky, it was clear she had ulterior motives.

Lin Fan took a deep breath, calming himself. It seemed the opponent had come prepared. Tonight, would he bravely face the challenge or retreat at the last moment?

“Yunxian, what’s the matter?” Lin Fan asked. If he had known this would happen, he definitely wouldn’t have acted so arrogantly.

Usually aloof and cold, Xuan Yunxian now showed a hint of shyness when facing Lin Fan. Her delicate pale face carried a faint blush.

“I’ve prepared some food and wine…” Xuan Yunxian walked in, gently placing the dishes on the table, setting out the utensils, pouring him a cup of wine, and then sitting quietly, gazing at Lin Fan with loving eyes.

Sitting on the bed, Lin Fan’s mind started to race as he observed the scene before him.

Although Lin Fan had never tasted pork, he had at least seen pigs walk.

What exactly was Xuan Yunxian implying?

Was she trying to set the mood with some food first, then a little wine, and finally, in the heat of passion, take things further?

In Lin Fan’s opinion, this was indeed a possibility.

But what made Lin Fan slightly uncomfortable was that things were moving too fast.

After all, they had only met twice.

Too fast… far too fast.

But for a woman to be this proactive, he, as an extraordinary man, shouldn’t be afraid.

As Lin Fan was lost in his thoughts, a single sentence from Xuan Yunxian completely stunned him.

“No one will come here. You can rest well tonight.” Xuan Yunxian said softly.

Lin Fan, just about to take a sip, paused his cup at his lips, then softly replied, “Okay.”

That sentence was full of implications.

And the implications were quite clear.

“No one will come here. Rest well tonight.”

Didn’t that mean that no matter how loud they were tonight, no one would hear, and the two of them could freely indulge?

Lin Fan was completely stirred up by Xuan Yunxian’s suggestive words.

Then, the two of them talked about something—Lin Fan couldn’t even remember what. His mind was a mess, his hormones surging.

His mind was flooded with all sorts of poses and scenes.

Xuan Yunxian was beautiful, had a unique aura, and held a high position. Lin Fan understood that her feelings for him were genuine.

Even though Lin Fan himself didn’t feel much for her yet.

But he firmly believed in a timeless truth.

“Love grows with time.”

Think about Master Yan, before becoming the Sect Leader, she was also a peerless beauty, leaving countless admirers in the world, and finally settling down to become the Sect Leader.

The senior elder Wuya was also once a charming and romantic youth, with princesses from several empires falling for him.

And now, comparing himself to them, he was far behind.

Under the influence of alcohol, Lin Fan looked at Xuan Yunxian’s face, feeling a slight urge.

But at this moment, he still held himself back. The night was long; there was no need to rush.

With such a beautiful night, it was natural to cherish it carefully.

After the meal ended, Lin Fan squeezed his hands, took several deep breaths, and calmed his heart.

What was about to happen next was already expected.

“I’ll take these away. You rest well.” Xuan Yunxian stood up and said.

“Okay…” Lin Fan’s heart was already racing.

After Xuan Yunxian left with the dishes, Lin Fan immediately started pacing around the room.

Then a sudden inspiration struck him—he had to prepare something.

Tonight would definitely be a fierce battle. He needed to refresh himself and replenish his energy first.

Then Lin Fan took out some precious herbs.

With a thought, flames rose from his right hand.

Dragon Essence Grass, a powerful tonic—perfect.

A hundred-year-old ginseng, good for replenishing energy—also great.

Dozens of herbs were selected by Lin Fan and directly thrown into the flames.

Before Xuan Yunxian returned, he had to finish refining the pill.

At this moment, the fragrance of the pill arose, and a milky white pill landed in Lin Fan’s palm.

“Ding, congratulations on successful refinement.”

“Complete Replenishment Pill: replenishes energy, boosts vitality, enhances combat power.”

The members of the Mystic Sword Pavilion had just arrived from afar.

While they were still at the Mystic Sword Pavilion, the overwhelming aura from the distance had permeated the entire world. Under the influence of these two powerful auras, their hearts felt as though they were suffocating.

However, that aura quickly dissipated.

The members of the Mystic Sword Pavilion had no idea what had happened or what the situation was like over there.

Xuan Yunxian was filled with worry and, disregarding the sect leader’s objections, left the sect and hurried over. To prevent any mishaps, the sect leader of the Mystic Sword Pavilion eventually led the elders in pursuit.

When Xuan Yunxian saw the figure standing there, she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. As long as he was safe, that was all that mattered.

Lin Fan was now feeling somewhat helpless. He had just been about to leave when, unexpectedly, they arrived.

Especially when he saw Liu Lingfeng, Lin Fan felt a headache coming on. If he had known it would turn out like this, he shouldn’t have trained him back then.

In the end, Lin Fan had no choice but to be invited back by the Mystic Sword Pavilion.

To the Mystic Sword Pavilion, Lin Fan was their benefactor, and to the members of the sect, he was also Xuan Yunxian’s partner.

Whether Lin Fan acknowledged it or not, as far as the members of the Mystic Sword Pavilion were concerned, this was already a fact.

Inside the Mystic Sword Pavilion.

Lin Fan looked at the gazes of the disciples around him and sighed helplessly. How could things have turned out so troublesome?

Especially when he noticed the affectionate look in Xuan Yunxian’s eyes, Lin Fan didn’t know what to say.

A few careless words back then had led to this situation, and it could only be described as a tragedy.

Night fell.

Lin Fan was still at the Mystic Sword Pavilion. The hospitality of the sect was so overwhelming that Lin Fan felt too embarrassed to refuse, so he decided to stay the night and leave the next day.

The completion rate of the Water Rule had reached 30%. Perhaps by tomorrow, he could condense the first chain of rules.

Just then, Lin Fan suddenly opened his eyes. He sensed someone approaching from outside.

Lin Fan silently prayed that it wasn’t Liu Lingfeng, that effeminate man.

But when he saw who it was, Lin Fan was momentarily stunned, and his heart stirred slightly.

It was already night. What was Xuan Yunxian doing here?

Could it be… could it be…?

Lin Fan’s heart raced slightly, and a bold thought suddenly crossed his mind.

Could it be that Xuan Yunxian was here for… that?

Xuan Yunxian had changed her clothes, and now she looked even more alluring.

Her delicate face glowed with a pale radiance, and her slightly red lips seemed to have been carefully adorned.

Xuan Yunxian carried food and wine as she walked over slowly, her intentions clear under the night sky.

Lin Fan took a deep breath to calm himself. It seemed the other party had come prepared. Tonight, would he bravely face the battle or retreat at the last moment?

“Yunxian, what brings you here?” Lin Fan asked. If he had known this would happen, he would never have acted so arrogantly earlier.

Xuan Yunxian, who was usually somewhat aloof, now faced Lin Fan with a shy expression. Her delicate, pale face was tinged with a faint blush.

“I’ve prepared some food and wine…” Xuan Yunxian walked in, gently placing the food on the table. She then arranged the utensils and poured the wine before sitting down quietly, her eyes filled with affection as she gazed at Lin Fan.

Sitting on the bed, Lin Fan looked at the situation before him, and his thoughts began to wander.

Although Lin Fan had never experienced such a situation, he wasn’t completely clueless.

What exactly was Xuan Yunxian implying?

Could it be that the food and wine were just a prelude, and after a few drinks, things would escalate under the heat of the moment?

From Lin Fan’s perspective, that seemed entirely possible.

However, what Lin Fan found slightly hard to accept was how fast this was progressing.

They had only met twice so far.

Too fast… way too fast.

But if a woman could take the initiative to this extent, as a man who prided himself on being unmatched in the world, he shouldn’t be afraid.

Just as Lin Fan’s thoughts were running wild, Xuan Yunxian’s next words completely stunned him.

“No one will come here tonight. You can rest well,” Xuan Yunxian said softly.

Lin Fan, who had just been about to take a sip of wine, paused with the cup at his lips and then softly replied, “Hmm.”

There was a hint in her words.

And it was a very clear hint.

No one would come tonight, so they could rest well.

Didn’t that mean that no matter how loud things got, no one would hear, and the two of them could indulge freely?

Lin Fan’s heart was in turmoil from Xuan Yunxian’s suggestive words.

After that, the two of them exchanged some words, but for Lin Fan, his mind was a mess, and his hormones were surging.

Lin Fan’s mind was filled with all sorts of positions and scenarios.

Xuan Yunxian was beautiful, her aura was striking, and her status was impressive. Moreover, Lin Fan knew that Xuan Yunxian truly had deep feelings for him.

Although Lin Fan didn’t have strong feelings for Xuan Yunxian yet, he firmly believed in a timeless truth:

“Affection grows with time.”

Think about Sect Leader Yan. Before she became the sect leader, she was also a peerless beauty who left countless hearts broken. Eventually, she settled down and ascended to the position of sect leader.

The same was true for Elder Wuyu. In his youth, he was dashing and charming, and several princesses from different dynasties had fallen for him.

Compared to them, Lin Fan felt the gap was too wide.

Looking at Xuan Yunxian’s face, under the influence of the alcohol, Lin Fan felt a slight impulse.

However, he managed to restrain himself. The night was long, and there was no need to rush.

Such a beautiful night should be cherished.

After the meal, Lin Fan clenched his fists, took a few deep breaths, and calmed his mind.

What was about to happen next was something he had already anticipated.

“I’ll take these away. You can rest now,” Xuan Yunxian said as she stood up.

“Hmm…” Lin Fan’s heart was pounding with excitement.

As soon as Xuan Yunxian left with the utensils, Lin Fan immediately began pacing around the room.

Then, a thought struck him. He had to do something to prepare.

Tonight was bound to be a fierce battle. He needed to boost his energy and replenish his strength.

Lin Fan took out some precious herbs.

With a single thought, flames rose from his right hand.

Dragon Essence Grass—a potent tonic. Perfect.

Centennial Ginseng—great for replenishing energy. Excellent.

Dozens of herbs were selected by Lin Fan and thrown into the flames.

He had to finish refining the pill before Xuan Yunxian returned.

Soon, the fragrance of the pill filled the air, and a milky-white pill landed in Lin Fan’s hand.

“Ding, congratulations on successful refinement.”

“Perfect Tonic Pill: Boosts energy, sharpens the mind, fortifies the foundation, and enhances combat power.”

Without hesitation, Lin Fan popped the pill into his mouth.

“Ding, convert experience or absorb effects.”

Unless he was out of his mind, he would, of course, absorb the effects.

In an instant, the pill transformed into a warm current that surged through Lin Fan’s body.

At that moment, Lin Fan felt his blood surging, as if it were about to burst out of his body.

Lin Fan took a deep breath and suppressed this surge. It wasn’t time to unleash it yet.

To prepare for tonight’s battle, Lin Fan had to be fully equipped. He then took out the “Big Fan Ge” and, after a moment of hesitation, scraped off a small piece with his nail and swallowed it.

Everything was ready. All that was left was to wait for the beauty to arrive.

Lin Fan’s face was slightly red, and his heart was racing as he lay quietly on the bed, waiting for her.

The night was silent.

An hour later.

Lin Fan suddenly felt that something was wrong.

“What the hell? She gave me such a clear hint, so where is she?”

By now, Lin Fan’s face was as red as a monkey’s butt, and the energy in his body was boiling like hot water.

The small piece of “Big Fan Ge” had already unleashed its unparalleled potency.

If it weren’t for his high cultivation level, he would have already lost control and started poking the ground.

But where the hell was she?

If this continued, he was going to die…

“Ding, convert experience or absorb effects.”

Unless his mind was malfunctioning, he would definitely choose to absorb the effects.

At this moment, the pill transformed into a stream of heat, surging through Lin Fan’s body.

Right now, Lin Fan felt his blood surging, as if it were about to burst from his body.

Lin Fan took a deep breath, suppressing the surge. It was not yet time to unleash.

To prepare for tonight’s endeavor, Lin Fan took out “Big Fange,” looked at this terrifying “Big Fange,” hesitated slightly, dared not swallow it all, and finally scraped off a small piece with his nail and swallowed it.

Everything was ready, just waiting for the arrival of the beauty.

Lin Fan’s face slightly flushed, his heart racing as he quietly lay on the bed, waiting for her arrival.

The night was silent.

An hour later.

Lin Fan suddenly felt something was wrong.

“Damn it, she gave all those hints, but where is she now…”

Lin Fan’s face was now as red as a monkey’s butt, his blood already boiling inside him.

The unmatched medicinal power of that small piece of “Big Fange” had already erupted.

If it weren’t for his high cultivation, he would have uncontrollably collapsed long ago.

But now, where the hell was she…

If this continued, he was going to die…
