Watching Xue Chen kneeling on the ground, Lin Fan frowned slightly.

He had no intention of being anyone's master yet!

Even if he did, what could he teach Xue Chen? It seemed there wasn't much to teach.

Moreover.

Lin Fan felt that he had not yet finished dealing with his own affairs, so how could he have the leisure to take on a disciple?

"I don't have any plans to take in disciples yet, so please stand up!" Lin Fan shook his head.

"Ah? Master, I have already knelt down to acknowledge you as my master, how can there be any reason to refuse?" Xue Chen was somewhat helpless.

Lin Fan continued to shake his head and said: "Please stand up, from hereafter you can just call me Brother Lin. As for being a master, let's forget about it. I can teach you how to control Sword Qi, but I will not take you as a disciple!"

"This... alright!" Xue Chen nodded his head, agreeing to it.

After all, he wanted to become a disciple simply to learn how Lin Fan controlled Sword Qi.

Whether or not he became Lin Fan's disciple, there wasn't actually much difference!

"Send my command, from now on, Lin Fan is my friend! Cloud Flowing Sect is an ally of our Heavenly Fire Sect. Anyone who dares to bully Cloud Flowing Sect is antagonizing our Heavenly Fire Sect!" Xue Chen declared loudly.

As soon as he said this, everyone present was excited!

The members of Cloud Flowing Sect were even more excited, nearly jumping up.

Because of Xue Chen's words, Cloud Flowing Sect almost gained a massive backer!

That is to say.

From today onwards, anyone wishing to harm Cloud Flowing Sect must consider the Heavenly Fire Sect's stance!

Moreover.

Xue Chen was the Young Sect Master of the Heavenly Fire Sect and was very likely to be the next Sect Master. Once Xue Chen becomes the Sect Master of the Heavenly Fire Sect, it would be a tremendous benefit for the Cloud Flowing Sect.

In an instant!

All eyes of Cloud Flowing Sect were passionately fixed on Lin Fan.

Everyone knew that all this was because of Lin Fan. If it weren't for him, how could such good fortune come about?

At this time.

The Qin Family members, seeing this scene, all flocked over.

"Muqing, don't take to heart what aunt said just now! All of that was nonsense!"

"Muqing, that's great. What we said earlier was due to circumstances beyond our control, you should understand, right? Why don't you talk to your Sect Master Linghu and let us join the Cloud Flowing Sect as well?" Several of Qin Muqing's cousins said with smiling faces.

"Muqing, after all, we are family, please just agree!"

A few of Qin Muqing's uncles also nodded their heads in agreement.

"Hmph!"

Qin Muqing's pretty face was cold; she glanced at them and let out a contemptuous snort, not bothering to pay any attention to these people.

A moment ago.

She had clearly seen the true colors of these people!

Now, she was truly disappointed in the Qin Family members. If things hadn't turned around, she might still be the 'wench' they mentioned, right?

Lin Fan didn't intervene in the matter of the Qin Family. He had seen plenty of such things on Earth!

"Brother Lin, I must bid farewell for now! I have to return to inform my father about Fu'er's death, so please excuse me for not being able to stay longer! Once I handle Fu'er's affairs, please have Brother Lin visit the Heavenly Fire Sect, or alternatively, I will come to Cloud Flowing Sect for you to teach me the control of Sword Qi, how about that?" Xue Chen bowed and said.

"Alright."

Lin Fan nodded.

Very soon.

Xue Chen and his party left the Cloud Flowing Sect.

Linghu Han and other high-level members of the Cloud Flowing Sect swarmed around, all with excited expressions.

"Lin Fan, that's great!"

"Xue Chen, as the Young Sect Master of the Heavenly Fire Sect, has spoken; this is a tremendous advantage for our Cloud Flowing Sect!"

"In the future, who among the Lower Nine Sects would dare order us around? Even the Middle Six Sects would probably have to treat the Cloud Flowing Sect with courtesy, hmph! I don't believe they would dare to offend the Heavenly Fire Sect!"

A dozen Elders surrounded Lin Fan so tightly that not a drop of water could seep through.

"Haha! To be honest, I didn't like you at all at first. If it weren't for Elder Xingchen Zi's order, there wouldn't have been a place for you in the Cloud Flowing Sect. Now, I believe in Elder Xingchen Zi's words; with you here, the Cloud Flowing Sect is destined to rise!" Linghu Han also burst into laughter.

"Alright, Sect Master Linghu, if there's nothing else, I'll be heading back first," Lin Fan said with a light smile.

"Hmm, okay! Muqing, follow behind Young Master Lin and attend to him!" Linghu Han said solemnly.

Qin Muqing silently walked behind Lin Fan and stood there.

Lin Fan left the Martial Arts Arena and returned to his place.

Qin Muqing followed him as well.

"You can go now. No need to follow me around every day," Lin Fan suddenly said.

"Ah..."

Qin Muqing was startled and stood frozen in place.

The next second.

Her eyes suddenly turned red, "You... do you also think that I am a nuisance? So... you're sending me away..."

"That's not what I meant. I am going to cultivate now, so I don't want to be disturbed. That's all there is to it!" Lin Fan was taken aback.

It seems.

The events just now were too much of a blow to Qin Muqing, making her fragile and sensitive!

"Uh... is that so?" Qin Muqing said, somewhat embarrassed.

"Yes, I'm preparing to cultivate now, so you should go back first. I didn't say you couldn't serve me. I'll call for you when I need you," Lin Fan said with a smile.

Seeing Lin Fan's smile, Qin Muqing breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.

Only then did Lin Fan return to his abode.

He raised his hand and activated the array of his residence!

A curtain of light surged, enveloping the entire courtyard, followed by a large expanse of white fog that completely shrouded Lin Fan's residence in clouds.

Every Elder in the Cloud Flowing Sect had such an array to prevent spying at their residences!

Lin Fan's place was no exception.

The reason Lin Fan rushed back in haste was simply because, the Shennong Nine Cauldrons within the Coiling Dragon Ancient Ring had just resonated.

After activating the anti-spying array, Lin Fan immediately took out the six Shennong Nine Cauldrons.

"Buzz!"

A Star Map appeared in front of Lin Fan, and the positions of the six Shennong Nine Cauldrons suddenly added up to seven, merging together!

Moreover, near the Star Map, there was also another continent's map, with six light spots gathered together, and another one in a different location.

"This is..."

Lin Fan shook all over, "Emperor Jade... could it really be such a coincidence?"

"Little Fan Fan, it's exactly that coincidental! Unexpected, right? I didn't expect it either. The seventh Shennong Nine Cauldron is actually on the Lost Continent!" Emperor Jade was also surprised.

If the location indicated by the light spots isn't the Lost Continent, then where else could it be?

But all of this was too coincidental.

Or rather, Lin Fan's luck was too good!

The seventh Shennong Cauldron was on the Lost Continent.

However, the exact location was still unknown to Lin Fan, who only knew a rough area.

But.

Lin Fan wasn't worried. Since the Shennong Nine Cauldrons could resonate, as long as he was close to the range of the seventh, he would definitely find it!

"Emperor Jade, I am somewhat excited! What will happen if I gather all nine Shennong Nine Cauldrons?" Lin Fan said excitedly.
