Chapter 158: Must Never Acquire This Habit

At this moment, Lin Fan smiled without speaking. The scene needed a bit of brewing. The Snow King Lion's corpse had already given them a powerful shock, and the Snow King Lion cub made them even more incredulous.

Now he naturally needed to let them calm down, lest they get too excited and lose their heads.

Seeing their shocked expressions, Lin Fan chuckled inwardly. Truly, the feeling of being the center of attention was wonderful. With this wave of impact, Nameless Peak's reputation would become even more resounding.

"What's this? Uncle-Master Lin defeated Ling Ao, the prodigy of Heaven-Sealing Sect, in less than a breath," an inner disciple said softly. Though the voice was not loud, all the disciples could hear it.

Lin Fan was slightly surprised. He glanced at that inner disciple and made a mental note.

Some offer timely help, others add flowers to brocade. Sometimes, adding flowers to brocade is more important than offering timely help.

Sure enough, after the inner disciple finished speaking, an even more intense uproar erupted from the crowd.

"What? Uncle-Master Lin defeated the Heaven-Sealing Sect's prodigy in a single breath?" someone who knew of the Heaven-Sealing Sect's prodigy exclaimed.

"Senior Brother, who exactly is that Heaven-Sealing Sect prodigy? Why are you all so shocked?"

"That Heaven-Sealing Sect prodigy is the one who ruined Senior Brother Tianyu's foundation during the forbidden ground training."

"What? That guy? Isn't he very strong? How could he not withstand Uncle-Master Lin for even a breath?"

"Hmph, what kind of figure is Uncle-Master Lin? That little bastard, falling into Uncle-Master Lin's hands, was easily suppressed."

"How satisfying! Truly satisfying!"

"Uncle-Master Lin is invincible!"

"Uncle-Master Lin is invincible!"

……

At this moment, word spread from one to ten, ten to a hundred. All the disciples learned of the Heaven-Sealing Sect disciple's actions. That person had ruined a fellow disciple's foundation during the forbidden ground training, making him an enemy to all. Now that Uncle-Master Lin had defeated him in a single breath, it was truly satisfying.

Sect Master Yan and the other Supreme Elders' expressions changed instantly. If they had been astonished before, now they were shocked.

They knew of the Heaven-Sealing Sect's prodigy. If allowed to grow, he would surely become a peerless expert. Yet now he could not withstand Lin Fan for even a breath. This…

Sect Master Yan and the others knew about Lin Fan's situation. They hadn't expected that besides his extraordinary alchemy talent, his personal strength was also so formidable. Truly baffling.

Feeling the admiring gazes of his disciples, Lin Fan's lips curled into a slight smile. Then, though he cared deeply, he waved his hand as if indifferent.

"Alright, alright. This is nothing special. That Heaven-Sealing Sect prodigy is actually not much, hardly a figure of note."

Lin Fan felt he should be modest and naturally not too proud.

But when Sect Master Yan and the others heard this, they were somewhat embarrassed. A prodigy disciple of their sect had fallen to that person, and now this kid said he was nothing, hardly a figure. Wasn't that indirectly slapping them in the face?

But never mind now.

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 at the little girl cowering behind Lin Fan. He asked curiously, "What's the story with this child?"

"Sect Master, this is Zhijiao, a disciple I newly accepted in Yongtian City." Lin Fan patted his disciple's head and said with a smile.

Sect Master Yan looked at Cai Zhijiao, a slight change in his eyes. He sighed softly, "Our sect values inheritance. This…"

Sect Master Yan did not speak too plainly. He could already see that this little girl's talent was not good. In the sect, she was only of average aptitude, perhaps comparable to the handymen.

He also wanted to tell Lin Fan that choosing a disciple required considering talent; otherwise, a sect could not last long.

"Sect Master, I understand all this." Lin Fan said with a light laugh.

For Lin Fan, talent was completely useless. Even if it were a pig, Lin Fan had confidence he could raise it into a divine pig.

Moreover, this adorable little loli, though lacking in talent, his side job as a life mentor was not to be underestimated. With his guidance, he could turn her into a peerless genius for the ages.

Lin Fan was quite confident about this.

"Good that you understand." Sect Master Yan nodded and said no more. But for him, having an extra little loli in the sect was actually a good thing.

"Sect Master, I'll leave the Snow King Lion's corpse to the sect. I only need a bit of fur. As for the Snow King Lion cub, I plan to make it my disciple's companion beast." Lin Fan had already thought it all through.

The Snow King Lion was a fine ferocious beast, especially as a descendant of the ancient ferocious beast, the Heaven-Raging Snow Lion. If its blood purity could be refined, it might even restore the glory of the ancient beast.

Now that it was just a cub, it could grow up alongside his disciple.

"If the cub is raised by the sect, there might be great hope for it to revert to its ancestral form," Supreme Elder Wuyan said at this moment.

"The sect's strength doesn't depend on a single beast. But if this beast accompanies my disciple, it might protect her for life. So, Elder, I'm sorry, but I can't agree." Lin Fan had his own thoughts.

"Junior Brother, let Lin Fan decide for himself. His successful return this time is his merit." The Snow King Lion cub was a good thing, but not essential to the sect. There was no need to chill his heart over this.

"Thank you, Sect Master." Lin Fan said gratefully.

"Later, I'll have someone send a beast-taming manual. You can pass it on to your little disciple. The Snow King Lion is naturally ferocious, but with this manual, it can be tamed." Sect Master Yan said.

Prison Elder and the other disciples who had participated in the siege looked at the Snow King Lion cub with a flicker of strange light in their eyes.

They vividly remembered the Snow King Lion's behavior that day. It was utterly brutal, without any sense of justice. That mountain peak had been tortured and destroyed, a scene of desolation.

This trip ended perfectly. The disciples dispersed contentedly. Today's events were deeply satisfying, and the Sacred Sect was filled with joy.

Meanwhile, Lin Fan walked side by side with Zhang Ergou and the others, heading back to Nameless Peak.

"Sect Master, will she be our little junior sister from now on?" Along the way, Zhang Ergou's eyes occasionally sized up Cai Zhijiao.

His lecherous gaze made the little loli Cai Zhijiao very frightened.

"According to my intention, she could be your senior sister." Lin Fan said with a light smile.

"No, Sect Master! Better she be our junior sister. That way, we can take better care of her." Zhang Ergou immediately whined.

"Alright, from now on, take good care of your little junior sister. Don't let her be bullied, or I'll hold you accountable." Lin Fan had already lost hope for Zhang Ergou and the others.

The longer they stayed together, the slicker they became.

This little loli disciple of his would need careful guidance in the future. She must never acquire such bad habits.

Otherwise, just imagine: in the future, his only female disciple would go out flaunting arrogance, showing off everywhere. How tragic, how desolate that would be.
