Chapter 156: The First Little Disciple Girl in Life

In that moment, heaven and earth suddenly fell silent.

In that moment, the people of Fengtian Sect were dumbfounded.

In that moment, the people of Holy Sect were stunned.

They stared wide-eyed at the scene below, which seemed to them utterly unrealistic and impossible.

Was this fierce battle between dragons and tigers over just like that?

What about the earth-shattering spectacle? How could it end in an instant? This... this...

Lin Fan stood with his hands behind his back, his calm gaze fixed directly on Fengtian Sect, without saying a word or moving a muscle.

A faint aura of indifference enveloped the entire scene, pressing down on the hearts of the Fengtian Sect members, filling them with unease.

"This one showed disrespect to me today, so I have administered a slight punishment. Should there be a next time, I will surely execute him without mercy," Lin Fan said calmly, but his words struck like thunderbolts in the hearts of the Fengtian Sect disciples.

The inner disciples of Fengtian Sect could not believe that Senior Brother Ling had been defeated.

This person before them was so young—why was he so strong?

Could this person be the most talented disciple of the Holy Sect?

At this moment, Elder Yu on the war boat fixed his gaze on the Fengtian Sect elder, a faint smile appearing on his face. That calm smile seemed to contain a myriad of emotions.

Mockery, disdain...

"Let's go..." The Fengtian Sect elder's face was as dark as water, terrifyingly so, and finally he squeezed out a single word through clenched teeth.

"Fengtian Sect, the disciple of your sect who was crippled was merely inferior in skill. But in future forbidden ground training, your sect should be careful," Lin Fan's voice drifted faintly as Fengtian Sect was about to leave.

The Fengtian Sect elder's body trembled slightly, a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes. "Thank you for the advice."

...

After Fengtian Sect left, Lin Fan, who had been very serious, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling immensely pleased. This act of showing off had consumed all his bravado; he wouldn't be able to use it again for at least a month.

Now Lin Fan understood that the Invisibility Technique was truly a divine skill. Its wonderful use was not just for invisibility, but in battle, suddenly entering an invisible state could catch the opponent off guard, leaving them unable to react in time.

And that split second of hesitation was the moment that decided victory or defeat.

If he had truly fought head-on just now, Lin Fan wasn't sure he could have suppressed Ling Ao.

But a win was a win. The technique was one reason, and the divine brick was an indescribable killer weapon. Even a god, if struck by his brick, would have to kneel.

At this moment, the disciples descended from the war boat and gathered around Lin Fan.

"Uncle-Master, that was amazing!"

"What was Ling Ao? In Uncle-Master's hands, he was nothing but an ant."

"I still don't know how Ling Ao was defeated by Uncle-Master. It was too fast—I couldn't even see clearly."

Facing the flattery of his disciples, Lin Fan revealed a faint smile. "Alright, let's not talk about this. That person was just a passerby in my eyes, not worth mentioning."

...

The scene just now had left the Cai family dumbfounded. They couldn't believe that the enemy who had seemed like a god moments ago had been defeated by the lord in an instant.

Moreover, in their eyes, he had been utterly powerless to resist, without even a chance to fight back. It was truly terrifying.

The Cai family had struck it rich, truly struck it rich.

Cai Hui was now trembling with tears of joy. That his youngest daughter could become the disciple of such a person was a blessing earned by the Cai family over a hundred lifetimes.

At this moment, the Chu family was dumbfounded. They hadn't expected things to turn out this way. What had seemed certain had been shattered in an instant.

This was undoubtedly a blow to the Chu family.

"Brother Cai, I was wrong. Please let us off!" Chu Mulin fell to his knees with a thud, tears streaming down his face as he begged for mercy.

This sudden turn of events was too much for Chu Mulin to bear.

"Lord, what do you think?" Cai Hui asked cautiously. Now that the lord valued his youngest daughter, he naturally dared not anger him. Such matters should be left to the lord to decide, to avoid overstepping and displeasing him.

"Handle this matter yourselves." Lin Fan didn't want to get involved in this affair. Then he looked at the little girl. "Have you considered it? Are you willing to become my disciple?"

"Lord, my daughter is willing." Cai Hui said hastily.

Lin Fan waved his hand.

"This matter requires her own answer. I do not like to force others." Lin Fan said.

Cai Zhiqiao hid fearfully behind Cai Hui. The events of this night had filled this five-year-old little girl with terror, and she had not yet recovered.

Cai Hui was extremely anxious inside. This was a great opportunity; if they could seize it, the Cai family would surely rise to prominence.

Originally, if even one person from the Cai family could join a sect, that would be a great blessing. Now, this lord wanted to take his daughter as a disciple—that was a blessing earned over a hundred lifetimes.

This lord must hold a high position in the sect, and his daughter becoming a closed-door disciple meant her future achievements would be limitless.

"Lord, may I have a few words with my daughter?" Cai Hui said hurriedly.

"Mm." Lin Fan nodded.

For Lin Fan, Nameless Peak was currently lacking in talent. To cultivate loyal disciples, one had to start from childhood. After all, training from a young age fostered a greater sense of belonging.

Moreover, this nurturing model was something Lin Fan looked forward to.

Raising someone from childhood—what kind of prodigy would she become when she grew up? Lin Fan anticipated all of this.

After all, the role of life mentor had never had much use; it was time to shine.

The Holy Sect disciples whispered among themselves, puzzled as to why Uncle-Master would take this little girl as his disciple.

They could see that the child's talent was not very good. Such talent was common in the sect, usually leading to mediocrity and no great achievements.

But now Uncle-Master wanted to take her as a closed-door disciple. Could this little girl have some extraordinary quality they hadn't noticed?

After a short wait, Cai Hui brought the little girl over.

"Are you willing?" Lin Fan asked.

"Disciple is willing." Cai Zhiqiao's small body knelt on the ground and performed a simple apprenticeship ceremony for Lin Fan.

At this moment, Lin Fan smiled faintly. "Good."

This was Lin Fan's first official disciple.

Cai Hui and Cai Heng showed a trace of reluctance, but dared not show it too much in front of the lord.

"Zhiqiao, this is from your father. Wear it on you. Study well with the lord and don't trouble him." Cai Hui, though the head of the Cai family, had reddened eyes as he tied a jade pendant around Zhiqiao's neck.

Cai Heng held back his reluctance and gently stroked his little sister's head.

But for his sister, this was the best choice. Being able to join a sect was the best归宿.

Perhaps when they met again, who knew how much time would have passed...
