“Master!”
The two mighty and icy female emperors, who were incomparably dignified and cold, now stood like children, bowing their heads, fidgeting with their fingers, as if they had done something wrong.
The spectators on the observation platform rubbed their eyes, unable to believe the scene before them.
The aloof female emperors actually had such a side to them—this sight truly astonished everyone.
“Come over here,” Lin Fan said with a smile.
Zhiqiao and Jiuling’s faces lit up. “Master.”
They exchanged glances, and a hint of rivalry flashed in their eyes. In an instant, they began competing to reach their master first, each wanting to arrive ahead of the other.
“Master, I missed you so much,” Zhiqiao flung herself into Lin Fan’s arms.
“Master, I missed you too,” Jiuling said.
Lin Fan gently patted their heads, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.
This was the most leisurely kind of life.
“Whoa! This young man is actually the master of the two female emperors.”
“No way! The two female emperors are already so powerful. How strong must their master be to still be so young?”
The elders and sect leaders from various sects, however, quickly realized the truth, and were suddenly struck with astonishment.
They had just discovered an earth-shattering truth.
“That person has returned.”
Everyone knew what had happened in the Xuanhuang Realm back then. If it hadn’t been for that person, they might have already perished.
“Master missed you too. I didn’t expect you two to have grown so much in five years.”
Lin Fan had never planned to take disciples before. Later, he simply accepted whatever fate brought his way, regarding it as a matter of destiny. He hadn’t expected that in the blink of an eye, the two little girls had already grown up.
The ambitious young men on the observation platform were also looking at Lin Fan with delight.
A teacher is like a father.
If one could win over a female emperor, then this person would become his father-in-law.
At this moment, many ambitious young men were already thinking about how to please Lin Fan. If he happened to be in a good mood and offered one of his disciples’ hands in marriage, what a wonderful thing that would be.
“How have you two been these years? Haven’t suffered too much, I hope?” Lin Fan asked gently.
“Master, my junior apprentice sister always bullies me,” Zhiqiao shot a glare at You Jiuling, completely lacking the domineering aura of a female emperor, and complained.
“Master, it’s actually the senior sister bullying me, always competing with me,” Jiuling naturally refused to back down, countering with an accusation of her own.
“Hmph!”
The two glared at each other.
“Oh really?”
“Yes, Master, my junior sister is really bad. I’ve suffered a lot these years,” Zhiqiao said.
“Master, the senior sister is lying to you. I’m the one who’s been the most mistreated.”
“Master, you have to believe me.”
They clung to Lin Fan’s arms, blaming each other.
Lin Fan nodded silently, as if listening carefully to everything they said.
“Er Gou, go fetch two stools,” Lin Fan said calmly.
“Yes, Sect Leader,” Zhang Er Gou didn’t hesitate at all and immediately went to find stools.
“Master, you’re so good to me, knowing that your disciple is tired,” Zhiqiao leaned on Lin Fan affectionately. Even though she had grown up, she still liked to act like a child in front of him.
Originally, she had been the only disciple, feeling her master’s full love. Later, when another junior sister joined, she felt that her master’s love was now split in half.
“Master, I like you the most too,” Jiuling said.
“Right, yes, tired,” Lin Fan’s expression remained unchanged, his tone carrying a hint of deeper meaning.
Not a single person in the crowd watching dared to leave, all wanting to know what would happen next.
“Sect Leader, I’ve brought the stools,” Er Gou, carrying one in each hand, hurried over.
To Er Gou, he had a vague sense that something ominous was about to happen.
“Just put them here,” Lin Fan said calmly.
Er Gou scratched his head, not understanding what the sect leader was planning. Then he looked at the two junior apprentices, silently hoping they could survive whatever was coming.
“Master, I just had a fight with my junior sister, and now I’m a bit tired,” Zhiqiao sat down but still refused to let go of Lin Fan’s arm. “Master, you should sit too.”
“Master, sit with me.”
In an instant, the two were competing again.
Looking at the two, Lin Fan spoke, “Alright, these stools aren’t for you two to sit on. Each of you pick one and bend over it.”
“What?!”
Zhiqiao and Jiuling were stunned, unable to believe what they had just heard, momentarily at a loss.
At this moment, Zhang Er Gou and others instantly understood—it seemed the real show had only just begun.
“What? Hurry up and get over there,” Lin Fan said calmly, a faint smile on his face.
“Master, what are you doing?” they asked in confusion, their beautiful faces filled with pitiful expressions.
“You two dare to ask what Master is doing? If I hadn’t returned in time, you’d have torn the heavens apart.”
“Hurry up, don’t make Master angry,” Lin Fan said.
“Master…”
“Hurry.”
Zhiqiao and Jiuling reluctantly bent over the stools.
In an instant, the long unused ruler made its reappearance.
Seeing the ruler, the two apprentices’ faces turned pale.
“If I don’t teach you two a lesson this time, you’ll really think you can fly to the heavens,” Lin Fan said, holding the ruler in his hand.
The spectators were stunned. When they saw the two female emperors bent over the stools, they were already shocked.
What was happening?
They didn’t quite understand at first, but when they saw the ruler in the young man’s hand, they all instantly got it.
“Whoa! This is too shocking.”
…
Hearing the surrounding noise.
Zhiqiao and Jiuling simultaneously turned to look at their master.
“Master, can we go back and do this? I and my junior sister are both empresses outside. If so many people see this, they’ll laugh at us forever.”
“Yes, dear Master, please, I know I was wrong. I won’t dare to do it again,” Jiuling said.
If it were anyone else who dared to do this, they would have already been obliterated. But this was their master—no matter how much courage they had, they dared not resist.
“Hmph, won’t dare again? I’ve been watching you two for quite a while. You’re both acting like tigers, even more domineering than your master. You even dared to set up your own sects. Are you trying to defy the heavens?” Lin Fan said.
The two looked pitifully at him, their domineering auras completely gone. Their bright eyes gazed at Lin Fan with deep sorrow, then turned to look at their senior brothers.
The message was clear: Senior brothers, help us!
“Master, I swear on the heavens, as long as you don’t hit me in front of so many people, I’ll be good and never act out again.”
“Yes, Master, I swear too.”
“What good are your oaths? The heavens belong to me. If you dare to curse me, what’s the point of swearing?” Lin Fan said.
Watching his junior sisters’ pleading eyes, Zhang Er Gou, who had been keeping to himself, also softened his heart.
“Sect Leader, maybe we should go back and deal with them. Look at all these people from various sects. If this gets out, it won’t be good for your reputation either,” he suggested.
“Yes, Sect Leader, I think Senior Brother is right. We should go back and handle it,” Feng Bu Jue said.
“Although the two junior sisters have done many wrongs, as the saying goes, family shame should not be aired publicly. It’s better to go back,” Mi Qiongqi finally spoke up.
And Ji Zi’s three sons were all hugging Lin Fan’s legs, looking pitifully up at him.
“Fat Ji, your meat piece fell,” Lin Fan said, looking down.
Ji Pang, who was hugging Lin Fan’s leg, found his mouth empty. Looking down, he saw the meat on the ground. Immediately, he bit the meat and hugged Lin Fan’s leg again, looking pitiful indeed.
“Alright, since your senior brothers are pleading for you, we’ll go back and settle the score. Get up,” Lin Fan said.
“Master is so good. Zhiqiao is so moved,” Zhiqiao said, wiping the corner of her eye.
Lin Fan rolled his eyes and casually refined a colorful ribbon.
“Master, what’s this for?” Zhiqiao and Jiuling asked in confusion.
“Now, I’m going to bind your arms together. Without my permission, no one is allowed to untie them. Otherwise, you should know the consequences.”
“Ahh, Master, what about sleeping, bathing, and going to the restroom?” the two exclaimed.
“You’ll have to do them together,” Lin Fan said.
“No… please don’t.”
“Hmph, let’s go,” Lin Fan said, flicking his sleeve, instantly taking everyone away.
In an instant, Lin Fan and the others disappeared from sight.
“Master, what about our sect?”
“Dissolve it.”
“What?!”
…
As for everyone else, they were all stunned for a moment.
