Chapter 229: Beautiful Senior Sister

Gu Fan only learned of this matter because that Inner Sect disciple named Mao Chang had secretly reminded him yesterday.

Sometimes, one had to admit—some money just had to be spent. Mao Chang had taken Gu Fan’s money yesterday, and early this morning, upon learning of this matter, had come to inform Gu Fan.

It was clear that he knew even if he reported Gu Fan, there would be no good outcome for him in the future.

Most importantly, even if he received those rewards, he wouldn’t be able to hold onto them for long.

After he told Gu Fan, Gu Fan did not disappoint him and gave him another hundred pieces of Mysterious Dao Stone.

For an Inner Sect disciple, this was already a considerable fortune.

And now Gu Fan didn’t even dare to step outside, because within this Sacred Domain, every sect disciple possessed a unique identity token.

Unfortunately for him, his had already been issued the previous night.

The name carved on it was exactly “Gu Fan.” If he didn’t wear it, he would draw suspicion; if he wore it out, it was as good as announcing, “I am that mangy servant dog you’re all talking about!”

Now, even stepping out had become a problem. It was truly suffocating.

If it came to a real fight, he wasn’t afraid—unless he was besieged by a large number of True Disciples. As for other Core Disciples like him, most were merely at the Divine Moon Realm. He could subdue however many came.

But if that happened, his days in the Immortal Ai Sect would definitely no longer remain low-profile.

“So conflicted? I heard when you took a bite back then, you weren’t the least bit hesitant.”

Gu Fan irritably waved his hand and said:

“What do you know! That woman went for the kill—I had no choice but to act that way.”

“Besides, I won that match fair and square. Even Senior Sister herself isn’t in a hurry, what are these mangy pups so anxious about? If they really force me, I’ll suppress them all!”

As he finished speaking, Gu Fan’s expression suddenly froze. He turned around and saw that, at some unknown time, a woman dressed in black robes—robes that did nothing to hide her explosive figure—was now seated inside his courtyard.

She was toying with a piece of stone in her hand, casting him a seductive glance up and down, her lips curled with a faint, ambiguous smile.

“Not bad-looking. Though still a bit lacking compared to Senior Brother, your cultivation… Mid-stage Divine Moon Realm, could use some improvement. But Junior Sister Rou doesn’t seem to mind these things.”

Gu Fan’s face darkened as he stared at the woman and said:

“Senior Sister, barging into someone else’s Cave Residence uninvited can be considered a provocation, can it not?”

“Oh my, what a fiery temper, Junior Brother. You defiled our Immortal Ai Sect’s recognized goddess and you’re not afraid of being attacked when you go out?”

Gu Fan sighed and said:

“Senior Sister, I’m new here and everything I do is just for survival. I hope Senior Sister won’t make things difficult for me.”

“Of course, I won’t deny what I just said. Even if Senior Sister uses the Sound Recording Stone in your hand to broadcast my words, I’ll own them. Just a bunch of Divine Moon Realm cultivators—however many come, I’ll suppress them all!”

Xia Yanhuan paused, somewhat surprised at Gu Fan’s confidence.

She could clearly see that this wasn’t boasting or a front for saving face.

When Gu Fan spoke, he was entirely calm and composed, as if in his understanding, cultivators of the Divine Moon Realm were beings he could suppress with ease.

But she seemed to forget—Gu Fan himself was only at the mid-stage Divine Moon Realm, not even at its peak yet!

Xia Yanhuan swayed seductively as she stepped closer to Gu Fan, examining him with growing interest and said:

“No wonder… I was wondering why that little girl Rou’er would fall for just any man. Seems there’s indeed something special about you.”

Hearing this, Gu Fan frowned and gave a bitter smile:

“If Senior Sister has come to vent anger for Senior Sister Nan Xuanrou, there’s no need.”

“You’re wrong. I didn’t come to vent for Rou’er. I came to vet my friend’s potential match.”

Saying this, Xia Yanhuan stepped forward and patted Gu Fan on the shoulder, saying:

“Junior Brother Gu Fan, right? Let me tell you—better get ready!”

“Prepare?”

“Your Senior Sister Nan Xuanrou usually doesn’t take an interest in men, but once she sets her mind on someone, it’ll probably be hard for you to escape!”

“The most important part is—this is the first time she’s moved by someone. You don’t get it now, but once she fully understands her feelings, you’ll be the one to suffer!”

Gu Fan felt his head spin. This woman was implying that the Celestial Heart Realm Senior Sister Nan Xuanrou had feelings for him?

Gu Fan admitted he was somewhat handsome, extremely talented, and powerful—an exceptionally high-quality candidate. It wouldn’t be strange for many women to admire him.

But he wasn’t so conceited to think that just by exchanging a few blows, someone would fall for him.

Especially not someone like Nan Xuanrou—cold and distant, with whom he’d had numerous conflicts. Unless she truly had a particular kind of mental quirk, Gu Fan wouldn’t believe it even if he was beaten to death.

Xia Yanhuan could tell what Gu Fan was thinking just by looking at his expression.

“Don’t believe me? That’s fine. There’s still plenty of time. You’ll understand eventually.”

“I’m the one who knows her best in Immortal Ai Sect—there’s no mistake!”

Gu Fan raised his hand, tone surrendering:

“Then, Senior Sister, let’s not talk about that. Just tell me why you’re really here. You didn’t come all this way just to say a bunch of nonsense, right?”

Since it was confirmed that this woman wasn’t here to cause him trouble, Gu Fan chose to be direct.

“Tut tut, not the romantic type, are you? Isn’t it nice to have a deep conversation with such a beautiful Senior Sister like me?”

“Fine, fine. I did come for a reason—to inform you. Because your situation got unintentionally… ahem… spread by me, most of the male disciples in the sect now view you with hostility.”

Gu Fan stared blankly at the culprit in front of him. If he hadn’t misheard just now—it was this woman who spread the news!!

“Ahem, anyway, if you’re confident in handling the others, that’s fine. But among the True Disciples, there’s one admirer of Rou’er who has officially set his sights on you. Be careful!”

Gu Fan picked up a cup of tea, sat to the side, and said:

“Can it be that in Immortal Ai Sect, those of higher cultivation can openly challenge those of lower realms?”

“Of course not!”

Xia Yanhuan pursed her lips and said:

“But this person is a special case. Though he’s a True Disciple and ranks among the top in strength, his cultivation is only slightly higher than yours—peak of the Divine Moon Realm! His actual combat power rivals the late stage of the Solar Radiance Realm and he has even defeated, possibly killed, mid-stage Solar Radiance cultivators!”

Gu Fan’s brow arched. He’d already heard about this person from Mao Chang yesterday!

To become a True Disciple with only the Divine Moon Realm cultivation and still rank among the top—his combat strength was truly terrifying!

In terms of cross-realm combat ability, he was akin to the former Holy Son!

With peak Divine Moon Realm cultivation, he had slain mid-stage Solar Radiance cultivators. The Holy Son, too, had slain mid-stage Yang Spirit Realm cultivators while still at the peak of the True Yang Realm!

At this thought, Gu Fan became interested.

“What’s his name?”

Xia Yanhuan smiled and said:

“Xia Qianliu, peak of the Divine Moon Realm. He’ll be coming to challenge you soon.”

“Be careful. His methods are ruthless. Those who fight him either die or are crippled!”

At this moment, Gu Fan smiled lightly and said:

“Senior Sister, you’ve got a short memory. I already said—within the Divine Moon Realm, no matter who it is, even a reincarnated great expert—I’ll suppress them all!”

“Because I am invincible among those of the same realm!”

Xia Yanhuan paused briefly, then pursed her lips and smiled:

“You’re really confident. Then I’ll be waiting for good news from Junior Brother. I hope you’ll make a name for yourself with one battle and earn a place among the True Disciples!”

With that, Xia Yanhuan’s robes fluttered, and her figure vanished from the spot!
