At this moment, Lin Fan smiled without saying a word. Given the current situation, it was only natural to let the atmosphere build a little. The Snow King Lion’s body had already delivered a powerful blow to the crowd, and the young cub left them in complete disbelief.
Now was the time to let everyone calm their minds, so they wouldn’t get too excited and lose their composure.
Seeing their shocked expressions, Lin Fan chuckled inwardly. Indeed, the feeling of being the center of attention from thousands was quite satisfying. With this impact, the reputation of the Nameless Peak would only grow louder.
“What’s all the fuss about? Master Lin defeated Feng Tianjiao of the Seal Heaven Sect in less than a breath,” a disciple from the inner sect murmured, his voice low but clearly audible to everyone.
Lin Fan was slightly surprised, glancing at the inner disciple and making a mental note of him.
Some brought coal in snowy weather, others added flowers to brocade, but sometimes, adding flowers to brocade was more impactful than offering help in hardship.
Sure enough, after this disciple spoke, the crowd erupted once again with even greater excitement.
“What? Master Lin defeated the genius of the Seal Heaven Sect in a single breath?” Some disciples who knew of the Seal Heaven Sect’s prodigy gasped in astonishment.
“Senior Brother, who exactly is this genius from the Seal Heaven Sect? Why are you all so shocked?”
“He’s the one who destroyed Senior Brother Tianyu’s foundation during the trial in the forbidden zone.”
“What? That guy? Isn’t he extremely strong? How could he lose to Master Lin in a single breath?”
“Hmph! Just who does that brat think he is? In Master Lin’s hands, he was naturally crushed like nothing.”
“That’s truly satisfying! Truly satisfying!”
At this moment, Lin Fan smiled without speaking. Given the current situation, it was necessary to let things simmer a bit. The sight of the Snow King Lion had already delivered a powerful shock to them, and the appearance of its cub left them utterly incredulous.
Now, it was essential to give them a moment to calm their minds, lest they become too overwhelmed and lose their composure.
Observing their astonished expressions, Lin Fan chuckled softly to himself. Indeed, the feeling of being the center of attention was quite satisfying. With this latest impact, the reputation of Nameless Peak would undoubtedly grow even more resounding.
“This is nothing. Uncle Lin defeated the prodigy Ling Ao from the Sealing Heaven Sect in less than a breath,” whispered an inner disciple, his voice soft but audible to all.
Lin Fan was slightly taken aback and glanced at the inner disciple, committing his face to memory.
Some offer help in times of need, while others add flowers to a brocade. Sometimes, the latter is even more important than the former.
Sure enough, after the inner disciple spoke, the crowd erupted into even more fervent chatter.
“What? Uncle Lin defeated the prodigy from the Sealing Heaven Sect in a single breath?” exclaimed someone who knew of the prodigy.
“Senior Brother, who is this prodigy from the Sealing Heaven Sect? Why are you all so shocked?”
“That prodigy is the one who destroyed Senior Brother Tianyu’s foundation during the forbidden land trial.”
“What? That guy? Wasn’t he supposed to be incredibly strong? How could he lose to Uncle Lin in a single breath?”
“Hmph, who do you think Uncle Lin is? That brat was no match for him. He was easily subdued.”
“This is so satisfying, truly satisfying.”
“Uncle Lin is invincible.”
“Uncle Lin is invincible.”
…
Word spread like wildfire, and soon all the disciples learned of the Sealing Heaven Sect disciple’s actions. This person had destroyed a fellow disciple’s foundation during the forbidden land trial, making him an enemy to all. Now that Uncle Lin had defeated him in a single breath, it was indeed a moment of great satisfaction.
Sect Master Yan and the other elders’ expressions shifted instantly. If they had been surprised before, they were now utterly shocked.
They were well aware of the Sealing Heaven Sect prodigy. If he were allowed to grow, he would undoubtedly become a peerless powerhouse in the future. Yet, he had been defeated by Lin Fan in a single breath. This…
Sect Master Yan and the others knew Lin Fan’s circumstances. They had never expected that, in addition to his extraordinary talent in alchemy, his personal strength would be so formidable. It was truly beyond comprehension.
Lin Fan, sensing the admiring gazes of his juniors, allowed a faint smile to grace his lips. Though he cared deeply, he feigned indifference and waved his hand dismissively.
“Alright, alright. This is nothing. That prodigy from the Sealing Heaven Sect was nothing special, not a figure worth mentioning.”
Lin Fan felt he should remain humble and not let pride take over.
However, Sect Master Yan and the others felt somewhat awkward upon hearing this. One of their sect’s prodigies had fallen at the hands of that prodigy, and now Lin Fan was dismissing him as insignificant. Wasn’t this, in a way, a slap to their faces?
But let it be.
Lin Fan was a member of the Sacred Sect, and that was unchangeable in their hearts.
At this moment, Sect Master Yan stepped forward and looked curiously at the little girl hiding behind Lin Fan. “What’s the story with this child?”
“Sect Master, this is my new disciple, Cai Zhiqiao, whom I took in at Yongtian City,” Lin Fan replied, patting the girl’s head with a smile.
Sect Master Yan observed Cai Zhiqiao, his eyes flickering with a hint of change. He sighed softly. “The sect emphasizes heritage. This…”
He didn’t elaborate further, but he could see that the girl’s talent was mediocre, perhaps on par with the sect’s servants.
He wanted to remind Lin Fan that when choosing disciples, talent must be considered. Otherwise, a sect’s legacy could not endure.
“Sect Master, I understand,” Lin Fan said with a light chuckle.
To Lin Fan, talent was irrelevant. Even a pig could be nurtured into a divine beast under his guidance.
Moreover, this adorable little girl, though lacking in talent, was under the tutelage of a master like him. With his guidance, she could undoubtedly become a peerless genius.
Lin Fan was confident in this.
“Good that you understand,” Sect Master Yan nodded, saying no more. For him, the sudden addition of a little girl to the sect was, in a way, a good thing.
“Sect Master, I’ll leave the Snow King Lion’s body to the sect. I only need a bit of its fur. As for the cub, I plan to make it my disciple’s companion beast,” Lin Fan had already thought this through.
The Snow King Lion was a formidable beast, especially as a descendant of the ancient Raging Snow Lion. If its bloodline could be purified, it might even regain the glory of its ancient ancestors.
Since it was still a cub, it would grow alongside his disciple.
“If the cub were raised by the sect, there’s a good chance it could undergo a bloodline reversion,” Elder Wuya remarked.
“The sect’s strength doesn’t hinge on a single beast. But with this beast by my disciple’s side, it might protect her for a lifetime. So, Elder, I must decline,” Lin Fan had his own plans.
“Junior Brother, let Lin Fan decide. His safe return is already a great contribution,” Sect Master Yan said. The Snow King Lion cub, though valuable, was not essential to the sect. There was no need to strain relations over it.
“Thank you, Sect Master,” Lin Fan said gratefully.
“Later, I’ll have someone send you a beast-taming manual. You can pass it on to your disciple. The Snow King Lion is inherently fierce, but with the manual, it can be tamed,” Sect Master Yan said.
Elder Yu and the other disciples who had participated in the hunt glanced at the Snow King Lion cub, their eyes flickering with a strange light.
The Snow King Lion’s actions that day were still fresh in their minds—utterly ruthless, devoid of any mercy. An entire mountain had been devastated, a scene of desolation.
With the mission successfully concluded, the disciples dispersed, each satisfied. Today’s events had brought great joy, and the Sacred Sect was filled with jubilation.
Lin Fan, meanwhile, walked alongside Zhang Er’gou and the others, returning to Nameless Peak.
“Sect Master, is she going to be our little junior sister from now on?” Zhang Er’gou kept glancing at Cai Zhiqiao along the way.
His lecherous gaze made the little girl uneasy.
“According to the sect’s rules, she could be your senior sister,” Lin Fan said with a faint smile.
“No, Sect Master, it’s better if she’s our junior sister. That way, we can take care of her,” Zhang Er’gou immediately pleaded.
“Alright, make sure to look after your junior sister. Don’t let her be bullied, or you’ll have me to answer to,” Lin Fan had long given up on Zhang Er’gou and the others.
The longer they stayed together, the more they seemed to degenerate.
He would have to nurture his little disciple carefully, ensuring she didn’t pick up such bad habits.
Otherwise, the thought of his only female disciple going out into the world, exuding arrogance and pretense wherever she went, would be a tragic and desolate sight indeed.
At this moment, Lin Fan smiled without speaking. Given the current situation, it was necessary to let things simmer. The sight of the Snow King Lion’s body had already delivered a powerful shock to them, and the presence of its cub left them utterly incredulous.
Now, it was essential to give them a moment to calm their minds, lest they become overly excited and lose their composure, which would not be ideal.
Observing their stunned expressions, Lin Fan couldn’t help but smile faintly. Indeed, the feeling of being the center of attention was exhilarating. With this latest impact, the reputation of Nameless Peak would undoubtedly soar even higher.
“This is nothing. Master Lin defeated the prodigy Ling Ao from the Sealing Heaven Sect in less than a breath,” whispered an inner disciple, his voice soft yet audible to all.
Lin Fan was slightly taken aback and glanced at the inner disciple, committing his face to memory.
Some offer help in times of need, while others add flowers to a brocade. Sometimes, the latter is even more significant than the former.
Sure enough, after the inner disciple’s remark, the crowd erupted into even more fervent chatter.
“What? Master Lin defeated the Sealing Heaven Sect’s prodigy in a single breath?” exclaimed those familiar with the prodigy.
“Senior brother, who is this prodigy from the Sealing Heaven Sect? Why are you all so shocked?”
“That prodigy is the one who destroyed Senior Brother Tian Yu’s foundation during the forbidden land trial.”
“What? That guy? Wasn’t he incredibly strong? How could he be defeated by Master Lin in a single breath?”
“Hmph, Master Lin is in a league of his own. That brat was no match for him and was easily subdued.”
“This is so satisfying, truly satisfying!”
“Master Lin is invincible!”
“Master Lin is invincible!”
…
In this moment, word spread like wildfire, and all the disciples learned of the Sealing Heaven Sect disciple’s actions. This person had destroyed a fellow disciple’s foundation during the forbidden land trial, making him an enemy to all. Now that Master Lin had defeated him in a single breath, it was indeed a moment of great satisfaction.
Sect Master Yan and the other elders’ expressions changed instantly. If they had been astonished before, they were now utterly shocked.
They were well aware of the Sealing Heaven Sect’s prodigy. If he were allowed to grow, he would undoubtedly become a peerless powerhouse in the future. Yet, he had been defeated by Lin Fan in a single breath. This…
Sect Master Yan and the others knew Lin Fan’s situation. They hadn’t expected that, in addition to his extraordinary talent in alchemy, his personal strength would be so formidable. It was truly mind-boggling.
Feeling the adoring gazes of his disciples, Lin Fan allowed a faint smile to grace his lips. Though he cared deeply, he feigned indifference and casually waved his hand.
“Alright, alright, this is really nothing. That prodigy from the Sealing Heaven Sect isn’t all that remarkable. He’s not much of a figure.”
Lin Fan felt he should remain humble and not let pride get the better of him.
However, Sect Master Yan and the others felt somewhat awkward upon hearing this. One of their sect’s prodigies had fallen at the hands of that prodigy, and now Lin Fan was dismissing him as insignificant. Wasn’t this a slap in their face?
But for now, they let it go.
Lin Fan was a member of the Holy Sect, and that was an unchangeable fact in their minds.
At this moment, Sect Master Yan stepped forward and looked curiously at the little girl hiding behind Lin Fan. “What’s the story with this child?”
“Sect Master, this is Cai Zhiqiao, a new disciple I took in at Yongtian City,” Lin Fan replied, gently patting the girl’s head.
Sect Master Yan looked at Cai Zhiqiao, a subtle change in his eyes as he sighed softly. “The sect values legacy. This…”
He didn’t elaborate further, but it was clear he saw that the girl’s talent was mediocre, perhaps on par with the sect’s servants.
He wanted to remind Lin Fan that when choosing disciples, talent must be considered, or the sect’s legacy would not endure.
“Sect Master, I understand,” Lin Fan said with a light laugh.
For Lin Fan, talent was irrelevant. Even a pig could be nurtured into a divine beast under his guidance.
Moreover, this adorable little girl, though lacking in talent, was under the tutelage of a life mentor like himself. With his guidance, she could very well become a peerless genius of the ages.
This was something Lin Fan was confident about.
“Good that you understand,” Sect Master Yan nodded, saying no more. For him, the sudden addition of a little girl to the sect was, in a way, a good thing.
“Sect Master, I’ll leave the Snow King Lion’s body to the sect. I only need a bit of its fur. As for the cub, I plan to make it my disciple’s companion beast,” Lin Fan had already thought this through.
The Snow King Lion was a formidable beast, especially as a descendant of the ancient Raging Snow Lion. If its bloodline could be purified, it might even restore the glory of its ancient ancestors.
Since it was still a cub, it would grow alongside his disciple.
“If the cub were nurtured by the sect, there’s a good chance it could undergo a bloodline reversion,” Elder Wuya suggested.
“The sect’s strength doesn’t hinge on a single beast. But with this beast by my disciple’s side, it could protect her for a lifetime. So, Elder, I must decline,” Lin Fan had his own plans.
“Junior brother, let Lin Fan decide. His safe return is already a great contribution to the sect,” Sect Master Yan interjected. While the Snow King Lion cub was valuable, it wasn’t indispensable to the sect. There was no need to alienate Lin Fan over this.
“Thank you, Sect Master,” Lin Fan expressed his gratitude.
“Later, I’ll have someone send you a beast-taming manual. You can pass it on to your disciple. The Snow King Lion is inherently fierce, but with the manual, it can be tamed,” Sect Master Yan said.
Elder Yu and the other disciples who had participated in the hunt glanced at the Snow King Lion cub, their eyes flickering with a strange light.
The Snow King Lion’s actions that day were still fresh in their minds—utterly ruthless and devoid of any sense of justice. An entire mountain had been mercilessly destroyed, a tragic scene that left the heavens and earth in mourning.
With the mission successfully concluded, the disciples dispersed, content and elated. The entire Holy Sect was abuzz with joy.
Meanwhile, Lin Fan walked alongside Zhang Er’gou and the others, returning to Nameless Peak.
“Sect Master, will she be our little junior sister from now on?” Zhang Er’gou kept stealing glances at Cai Zhiqiao along the way.
His lecherous gaze made the little girl quite uneasy.
“According to the sect’s rules, she could be your senior sister,” Lin Fan said with a faint smile.
“No, Sect Master, it’s better if she’s our junior sister. That way, we can take better care of her,” Zhang Er’gou immediately pleaded.
“Alright, make sure you look after your junior sister and don’t let her be bullied, or you’ll have me to answer to,” Lin Fan had long lost hope for Zhang Er’gou and his ilk.
The longer they stayed together, the more they seemed to degenerate.
His little disciple needed careful guidance to avoid picking up such bad habits.
Otherwise, the thought of his only female disciple going out into the world with an air of arrogance, showing off wherever she went, would be a tragic and desolate sight indeed.
…
At this moment, the story spread like wildfire. Every disciple soon learned of the Seal Heaven Sect disciple’s actions. The one who had destroyed a senior brother’s foundation during the trial in the forbidden zone was now everyone’s enemy. Now that Master Lin had defeated him in a single breath, it was truly a cause for celebration.
The expressions of Sect Leader Yan and several other senior elders changed instantly. If they had been astonished before, now they were in shock.
They knew of the genius from the Seal Heaven Sect. If he had been allowed to grow, he would surely have become an extraordinary powerhouse. Yet now, he couldn’t even withstand a single breath from Lin Fan…
Sect Leader Yan and the others were already aware of Lin Fan’s situation. They hadn’t expected that besides his extraordinary talent in alchemy, his personal strength was also so formidable. It was truly beyond comprehension.
Feeling the admiration in his juniors’ gazes, Lin Fan’s lips curled into a slight smile. He then waved his hand casually, feigning indifference while actually caring deeply inside.
“Alright, alright, it’s really nothing. That genius from the Seal Heaven Sect wasn’t that impressive anyway.”
Lin Fan felt he should remain humble and not appear too proud.
When Sect Leader Yan and the others heard Lin Fan’s words, they felt somewhat embarrassed. A top genius of their sect had perished at Lin Fan’s hands, yet now this young man dismissed him as nothing. Wasn’t this an indirect slap to their faces?
But they let it go for now.
In their hearts, Lin Fan was a Sacred Sect member now, and that was an unshakable fact.
At this moment, Sect Leader Yan stepped forward, eyeing the little girl cowering behind Lin Fan with curiosity. “Who is this child?”
“Master, this is my new disciple, Zhiqiao, whom I recently accepted in Yon Heaven City,” Lin Fan replied with a smile, gently patting the girl’s head.
Sect Leader Yan looked at Cai Zhiqiao, his expression subtly shifting as he sighed slightly, “The sect emphasizes inheritance. This…”
He didn’t say it outright. He had already seen that the girl’s talent was nothing special—perhaps only average, even comparable to the servants.
He wanted to tell Lin Fan that when choosing disciples, talent must be considered, or the sect would not be able to sustain its legacy for long.
“Master, I understand,” Lin Fan said with a light smile.
To Lin Fan, talent was irrelevant. Even a pig could be cultivated into a divine beast with his guidance.
Moreover, this cute little girl, though slightly lacking in talent, had a mentor like him—a professional life coach. With his help, wouldn’t she become an unparalleled genius across eons?
Lin Fan was quite confident about this.
“Good, I’m glad you understand,” Sect Leader Yan nodded, saying no more. To him, the sudden appearance of a little girl in the sect was actually a good thing.
“Master, I’ll leave the Snow King Lion’s body to the sect. I only need a small part. As for the Snow King Lion cub, I plan to make it my disciple’s companion beast,” Lin Fan had already made up his mind about this.
At this moment, Lin Fan smiled without speaking. Given the current situation, it was necessary to let things simmer. The appearance of the Snow King Lion had already delivered a powerful shock to them, and the sight of its cub left them utterly incredulous.
Now, it was essential to give them a moment to calm their minds, lest they become too overwhelmed and lose their composure, which would be undesirable.
Observing their stunned expressions, Lin Fan couldn’t help but smile inwardly. Indeed, the feeling of being the center of attention was exhilarating. With this latest impact, the reputation of Nameless Peak would undoubtedly soar even higher.
“This is nothing. Elder Lin defeated the prodigy Ling Ao from the Sealing Heaven Sect in less than a breath,” whispered an inner disciple. Though the voice was soft, every disciple could hear it clearly.
Lin Fan was slightly taken aback and glanced at the inner disciple, committing the face to memory.
Some offer help in times of need, while others add flowers to a brocade. Sometimes, the latter is even more significant than the former.
Sure enough, after the inner disciple’s remark, the crowd erupted into even more fervent chatter.
“What? Elder Lin defeated the Sealing Heaven Sect’s prodigy in a single breath?” exclaimed those who knew of the prodigy.
“Senior brother, who is this prodigy from the Sealing Heaven Sect? Why are you all so shocked?”
“That prodigy is the one who destroyed Senior Brother Tianyu’s foundation during the forbidden land trial.”

“Elder Lin is invincible!”
…
In this moment, word spread like wildfire, and soon all the disciples learned of the Sealing Heaven Sect disciple’s actions. This person, who had destroyed a fellow disciple’s foundation during the forbidden land trial, was now everyone’s enemy. The fact that Elder Lin had defeated him in a single breath was immensely gratifying.
Sect Leader Yan and the other elders’ expressions changed instantly. If they had been astonished before, they were now utterly shocked.
They were well aware of the Sealing Heaven Sect’s prodigy. If allowed to grow, he would undoubtedly become a peerless powerhouse in the future. Yet, he had been defeated by Lin Fan in a single breath. This was…
Sect Leader Yan and the others knew Lin Fan’s capabilities, but they hadn’t expected his combat prowess to be so formidable, in addition to his exceptional alchemy skills. It was truly mind-boggling.
Feeling the admiring gazes of his juniors, Lin Fan allowed a faint smile to grace his lips. Though he cared deeply, he feigned indifference and casually waved his hand.
“Alright, alright, this is really nothing. That prodigy from the Sealing Heaven Sect isn’t all that impressive, not much of a figure.”
Lin Fan felt it was necessary to remain modest; he couldn’t afford to be too arrogant.
However, Sect Leader Yan and the others felt somewhat awkward upon hearing this. One of their sect’s prodigies had fallen at the hands of that very person, and now Lin Fan was dismissing him as insignificant. Wasn’t this, in a way, a slap in their face?
But for now, they let it slide.
Lin Fan was a member of the Sacred Sect, and that was an unchangeable fact in their minds.
At this moment, Sect Leader Yan stepped forward and looked at the little girl hiding behind Lin Fan, curiosity piqued. “What’s the story with this child?”
“Sect Leader, this is my newly accepted disciple, Zhi Qiao, from Yongtian City,” Lin Fan replied, gently patting the girl’s head with a smile.
Sect Leader Yan observed Cai Zhi Qiao, a subtle change flickering in his eyes. He sighed softly, “The sect emphasizes heritage. This…”
He didn’t elaborate further, but it was clear he saw that the girl’s talent was mediocre, perhaps on par with the sect’s servants.
He wanted to remind Lin Fan that selecting disciples required consideration of talent; otherwise, the sect’s legacy couldn’t endure for long.
“Sect Leader, I understand,” Lin Fan said with a light chuckle.
To Lin Fan, talent was irrelevant. Even a pig could be nurtured into a divine beast under his guidance.
Moreover, this adorable little girl, though lacking in talent, was under the tutelage of a master like him. With his guidance, she could become a peerless genius of the ages.
Lin Fan was confident in this.
“Good that you understand,” Sect Leader Yan nodded, saying no more. However, he couldn’t help but feel that having a little girl in the sect was a positive addition.
“Sect Leader, I’ll leave the Snow King Lion’s body to the sect. I only need a bit of its fur. As for the cub, I plan to make it my disciple’s companion beast,” Lin Fan had already thought this through.
The Snow King Lion was a formidable beast, especially as a descendant of the ancient Raging Snow Lion. If its bloodline purity could be enhanced, it might even revive the glory of its ancient ancestors.
Since it was still a cub, it would grow alongside his disciple.
“If the cub were raised by the sect, there’s a good chance it could undergo a bloodline reversion,” Elder Wuya suggested.
“The sect’s strength doesn’t hinge on a single beast. However, having this beast by my disciple’s side could protect her for a lifetime. So, Elder, I must decline,” Lin Fan had his own plans.
“Junior brother, let Lin Fan decide. This successful mission is his achievement,” Sect Leader Yan interjected. While the Snow King Lion cub was valuable, it wasn’t indispensable to the sect. There was no need to strain relations over it.
“Thank you, Sect Leader,” Lin Fan expressed his gratitude.
“Later, I’ll have someone send you a beast taming manual. You can pass it on to your disciple. The Snow King Lion is inherently fierce, but with the manual, it can be tamed,” Sect Leader Yan said.
Elder Yu and the other disciples who had participated in the mission looked at the Snow King Lion cub with a glint of peculiar interest.
The actions of the Snow King Lion that day were still fresh in their minds—utterly ruthless, devoid of any sense of justice. An entire mountain had been mercilessly destroyed, a scene of desolation.
With the mission successfully concluded, the disciples dispersed, each satisfied. The day’s events had brought great joy, and the Sacred Sect was filled with jubilation.
Meanwhile, Lin Fan walked side by side with Zhang Er Gou and the others, returning to Nameless Peak.
“Sect Leader, is she going to be our little junior sister from now on?” Zhang Er Gou kept glancing at Cai Zhi Qiao along the way.
His lecherous gaze made the little girl quite uneasy.
“According to the sect’s rules, she could be your senior sister,” Lin Fan said with a faint smile.
“No, Sect Leader, it’s better if she’s our junior sister. That way, we can take care of her more,” Zhang Er Gou immediately pleaded.
“Alright, from now on, you all must look after your junior sister. Don’t let her be bullied, or you’ll have me to answer to,” Lin Fan had already lost hope in Zhang Er Gou and the others.
The longer they stayed, the more they seemed to degenerate.
He would need to carefully nurture his little disciple, ensuring she didn’t pick up any bad habits.
The thought of his only female disciple going out into the world, exuding arrogance and pretentiousness wherever she went, was a truly sad and desolate prospect.
Since it was still a cub, it would grow up alongside his disciple.
“If we let the sect raise this cub, there’s a good chance it might undergo ancestral regression,” Elder Wuya said at this moment.
At this moment, Lin Fan smiled without speaking. The current situation required some further brewing. The Snow King Lion’s body had already delivered a powerful impact, and the Snow King Lion cub had left them in utter disbelief.
Now, it was necessary to let them calm their minds to prevent excessive excitement, which could cloud their judgment.
Watching their astonished expressions, Lin Fan chuckled inwardly. Indeed, the feeling of being the center of attention was wonderful. With this wave of impact, the fame of Nameless Peak would surely grow even louder.
“This is nothing. Uncle Lin defeated the prodigy Ling Ao from the Sealing Heaven Sect in less than a breath,” whispered an inner disciple. Though the voice was soft, all the disciples could hear it.
Lin Fan was slightly surprised and glanced at the inner disciple, remembering him in his heart.
Some offer help in times of need, while others add flowers to brocade. Sometimes, adding flowers to brocade is even more important than offering help in times of need.
Sure enough, after the inner disciple spoke, the crowd erupted with even more fervent voices.
“What? Uncle Lin defeated the prodigy from the Sealing Heaven Sect in less than a breath?” exclaimed those who knew of the Sealing Heaven Sect’s prodigy.
“Senior brother, who is this prodigy from the Sealing Heaven Sect? Why are you all so shocked?”
“That prodigy from the Sealing Heaven Sect is the one who destroyed Senior Brother Tianyu’s foundation during the forbidden land training.”
“What? That guy? Wasn’t he supposed to be incredibly strong? How could he lose to Uncle Lin in less than a breath?”
“Hmph, who do you think Uncle Lin is? That bastard was nothing more than a pushover in Uncle Lin’s hands.”
“This is so satisfying, truly satisfying!”
“Uncle Lin is invincible!”
“Uncle Lin is invincible!”
…
In this moment, word spread like wildfire, and all the disciples learned of the Sealing Heaven Sect disciple’s actions. This person had destroyed a fellow disciple’s foundation during forbidden land training, making him an enemy to all. Now that Uncle Lin had defeated him in less than a breath, it was truly a moment of great satisfaction.

Sect Leader Yan and the others knew Lin Fan’s situation. They had never expected that, aside from his extraordinary talent in alchemy, his personal strength would also be so formidable. It was truly beyond comprehension.
Lin Fan felt the admiring gazes of his juniors and allowed a faint smile to creep onto his lips. Though he cared deeply, he pretended to be indifferent and casually waved his hand.
“Alright, alright, this is nothing. That prodigy from the Sealing Heaven Sect was nothing special, not a significant figure at all.”
Lin Fan felt he should remain humble and not let pride take over.
However, when Sect Leader Yan and the others heard this, they felt somewhat awkward. A prodigy from their sect had fallen at the hands of this person, and now Lin Fan was saying he was nothing special, not a significant figure. Wasn’t this indirectly slapping them in the face?
But for now, it was best to let it go.
Lin Fan was a member of the Holy Sect, and that was an unchangeable fact in their hearts.
At this moment, Sect Leader Yan stepped forward and looked at the little girl hiding behind Lin Fan, curious. “What’s the story with this child?”
“Sect Leader, this is my new disciple, Cai Zhiqiao, whom I took in at Yongtian City,” Lin Fan said, patting the girl’s head with a smile.
Sect Leader Yan looked at Cai Zhiqiao, his eyes showing a slight change, and he sighed softly. “The sect emphasizes heritage. This…”
Sect Leader Yan didn’t say it outright, but he could see that the little girl’s talent was mediocre, perhaps only on par with the sect’s miscellaneous disciples.
He wanted to remind Lin Fan that when choosing disciples, one must consider talent. Otherwise, a sect’s legacy could not endure for long.
“Sect Leader, I understand,” Lin Fan said with a light laugh.
For Lin Fan, talent was irrelevant. Even a pig could be nurtured into a divine pig under his guidance.
Moreover, this adorable little loli, though lacking in talent, would surely become a peerless genius under his tutelage. After all, he was no ordinary life mentor.
Lin Fan was confident in this.
“Good that you understand,” Sect Leader Yan nodded, saying no more. However, for him, the sudden appearance of a little loli in the sect was not necessarily a bad thing.
“Sect Leader, I’ll leave the Snow King Lion’s body to the sect. I only need a bit of its fur. As for the Snow King Lion cub, I plan to make it my disciple’s companion beast,” Lin Fan had already thought this through.
The Snow King Lion was a formidable beast, especially as a descendant of the ancient beast, the Raging Snow Lion. If its bloodline purity could be refined, it might even regain the glory of its ancient ancestors.
Since it was still a cub, it would be best to let it grow up alongside his disciple.
“If we let the sect raise this cub, there’s a good chance it could undergo ancestral reversion,” Elder Wuya said at this moment.
“The sect’s strength doesn’t rely on a single beast. But having this beast by my disciple’s side might protect her for a lifetime. So, Elder, I must decline,” Lin Fan had his own plans.
“Junior brother, let Lin Fan decide. After all, his safe return is his own merit,” Sect Leader Yan said. Though the Snow King Lion cub was valuable, it was not indispensable to the sect. There was no need to let this matter create a rift.
“Thank you, Sect Leader,” Lin Fan said gratefully.
“Later, I’ll have someone send you a beast-taming manual. You can pass it on to your little disciple. The Snow King Lion is inherently fierce, but with this manual, it can be tamed,” Sect Leader Yan said.
Elder Yu and the other disciples who had participated in the siege looked at the Snow King Lion cub, their eyes flickering with a strange light.
The Snow King Lion’s actions that day were still fresh in their minds. It had been utterly ruthless, showing no mercy. An entire mountain peak had been mercilessly destroyed, leaving a scene of desolation.
With this mission successfully concluded, the disciples dispersed, each satisfied. Today’s events had brought great joy to the Holy Sect, and the atmosphere was one of celebration.
Lin Fan, meanwhile, walked side by side with Zhang Er’gou and the others, returning to Nameless Peak.
“Sect Leader, will she be our little junior sister from now on?” Zhang Er’gou kept glancing at Cai Zhiqiao along the way.
His lecherous gaze made the little loli quite uneasy.
“According to the sect’s rules, she could be your senior sister,” Lin Fan said with a faint smile.
“No, Sect Leader, it’s better if she’s our junior sister. That way, we can take better care of her,” Zhang Er’gou immediately pleaded.
“Alright, from now on, you all must take good care of your junior sister. Don’t let her be bullied, or you’ll have me to answer to,” Lin Fan had already lost hope in Zhang Er’gou and the others.
The longer they stayed together, the more they seemed to degenerate.
His little loli disciple would need careful guidance to ensure she didn’t pick up any bad habits.
Otherwise, the thought of his only female disciple going out into the world with an arrogant attitude, showing off wherever she went, would be a tragic and desolate sight indeed.
“Brother, let Lin Fan decide for himself. after all, it was his achievement that brought everything to a successful conclusion,” although the Snow King Lion cub was a good item, it was not essential to the sect, and they shouldn’t let this matter dampen his spirits.
“Thank you, Master,” Lin Fan said gratefully.
“I’ll have someone send you a beast-taming manual later. You can pass it on to your young disciple. The Snow King Lion has a cruel nature, but with this manual, it can be tamed,” Sect Leader Yan added.
Elder Yu and the other disciples who had participated in the hunt looked at the Snow King Lion cub with strange glints in their eyes.
They still vividly remembered the Snow King Lion’s actions that day—utterly merciless, beyond reason. An entire mountain peak had been devastated, leaving a scene of utter desolation.
The mission concluded successfully, and the disciples dispersed happily, deeply satisfied with the day’s events. The entire Sacred Sect was filled with joy.
At this moment, Lin Fan walked side by side with Zhang Erdog and others, returning to the Nameless Peak.
“Master, will she be our little junior sister from now on?” Along the way, Zhang Erdog kept glancing at Cai Zhiqiao.
His lewd gaze frightened the little girl terribly.
“According to this sect’s rules, she should be your senior sister,” Lin Fan replied with a faint smile.
“No way, Master! Better as a junior sister. That way, we can take better care of her,” Zhang Erdog immediately pleaded.
“Alright, from now on, you all must take good care of your little junior sister and make sure she isn’t bullied, or I’ll deal with you,” Lin Fan had already given up hope on Zhang Erdog and the others.
The longer they stayed, the more cunning they became.
As for his little girl disciple, he would personally guide and educate her carefully, making sure she never picked up such bad habits.
Otherwise, just imagine—his only female disciple walking out with an air of arrogance, pretending wherever she went. What a tragic and desolate sight that would be.
