Chapter 106: Confrontation with Yunxiao, Formal Declaration of War

"Nothing good comes from unprovoked courtesy; it's either deceit or theft!"

"This Yunxiao wants to get information from me, I'm afraid she's going to start using means again."

"I'd like to see what means you have to use against me!"

Muttering inwardly, Lin Fan quickly collected his mind, nodded to Yunxiao and said: "Greetings, Senior Sister Yunxiao!"

"If Senior Sister has nothing else, then Junior Brother will take his leave first."

No matter what the other party wanted, Lin Fan wouldn't let the initiative be grasped by her.

With this move of advancing by retreating, he wanted to see if Yunxiao could sit still, and immediately stepped forward to leave.

"Junior Brother Lin Fan, please stay!"

If nothing unexpected happened, Yunxiao was anxious.

In order to wait for Lin Fan to leave seclusion, she had been releasing a trace of divine sense to wait outside for so many years.

It was not easy for Lin Fan to come out, and nearly three thousand years had passed; she didn't intend to delay any longer.

In the three thousand years of time, the style of the Jie Sect disciples on Golden Turtle Island had changed drastically; everyone had started to roll internally, and many people had even started to perfect themselves, abandoning a lot of useless social interaction.

This also led to Zhao Gongming basically being unable to recruit others to join their team outside, and even the relationships of many people who had joined their team before were subtle now.

All this, besides Tongtian Jiaozhu's words, was mainly because the relationship contradiction between Zhao Gongming and his siblings and Lin Fan was huge, and even accumulated for a long time and had not been resolved.

After all, no one was an idiot.

Lin Fan's rise was a certainty, and his backing by Wudang was a natural unsolvable situation.

Therefore, she must get the information she wanted, as well as the intelligence she needed, and it was best to resolve the contradictions between them, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Yunxiao accelerated her advance.

Soon, Yunxiao arrived where Lin Fan was, smiled slightly and said: "Junior Brother Lin Fan, why must the relationship between us be so tense!"

"Don't forget, if it weren't for us siblings back then, you and Senior Brother Duobao~"

"Senior Sister Yunxiao!"

Before Yunxiao could finish, Lin Fan waved his hand to interrupt: "The things back then were at most mutual utilization!"

"If Senior Sister thinks that matter can become a bargaining chip to threaten me, then I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."

Speaking of this, a trace of mockery flashed in Lin Fan's eyes.

It could not be denied that it was indeed the existence of the Three Xiao and Zhao Gongming that helped him avoid Duobao back then.

But all this was standing from the current standpoint. If there was no intervention from the Three Xiao back then, would the relationship between him and Duobao have deteriorated rapidly? Even reaching a state of near-hostility?

This was basically impossible; after all, Duobao as the Senior Brother still needed to have the measure.

Therefore, even if he refused actively, Duobao would at most be unhappy, but in the end, he wouldn't do anything to him, but would instead be friendly and befriend him, waiting for the opportunity to recruit him again.

But because of the intervention of Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiao, it directly led to the opposition of the two sides.

If he hadn't chosen to join the Wudang lineage, then he would only have the possibility of choosing to join under Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiao, at that time...

"Junior Brother misunderstood, I didn't mean that!"

Sensing Lin Fan's displeasure, Yunxiao waved her hand to deny it.

Although she thought that all this was them helping Lin Fan, Yunxiao was not an idiot either.

Thinking about it, she understood the meaning of Lin Fan's words; that matter was caused by their impure motives in the first place.

If they really pursued it, the reason Lin Fan and Duobao became enemies was still their fault, which was not good news.

Thinking of this, Yunxiao immediately changed the subject: "Junior Brother Lin Fan, I mean that there were indeed many misunderstandings between my Big Brother and my three sisters and you. If possible, why don't we shake hands and make peace!"

"Hehe~"

With a cold laugh, Lin Fan looked at Yunxiao as if looking at an idiot.

Shake hands and make peace.

Zhao Gongming's abacus beads had hit his face back then.

He, Lin Fan, chose the path of stability, but he was not an object to be calculated by others.

Especially since he had made up his mind to intercept the Sea-Calming Pearls, this had completely explained that the contradiction between him and Zhao Gongming was untransferable.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan looked at Yunxiao deeply, then said: "The three Senior Sisters indeed have no great malice towards me, and there is no great contradiction between us. I have no intention of having too much contact with the three Senior Sisters, so let this matter end here."

"Of course, if Senior Sister continues to force me, I won't just let it go."

"As for this cave dwelling, I did indeed accept your favor, if Senior Sister needs it, you can take it back at any time, and I can choose to leave."

"Alright, Senior Sister Yunxiao, Junior Brother's seclusion hasn't ended, and this trip out was just to relax, so I will take my leave first."

After speaking, Lin Fan turned and walked towards the cave dwelling without hesitation.

He could see it; Yunxiao was beautiful, but she thought even more beautifully.

Not only did she want to resolve the contradiction and write off the past, but she even wanted to take this opportunity to calculate the information content of Tongtian Jiaozhu.

Most importantly, Yunxiao actually tried to morally kidnap him at the beginning, completely unaware that this matter itself did not exist as a favor, but was full of calculations.

"Junior Brother, you~"

Looking at Lin Fan's departing back, Yunxiao opened her mouth, her beautiful cheeks full of bitterness at this moment.

She didn't expect that she had been so active, yet Lin Fan was indifferent, and even turned a blind eye to her appearance.

She knew her appearance clearly.

Looking at the Jie Sect, even Jinling Shengmu, Guiling Shengmu, and Wudang Shengmu had to be inferior by three points; it was not an exaggeration to call her the first beauty of the Jie Sect.

Zhao Gongming could recruit so many cultivators, which had a lot to do with the status and appearance of the Three Xiao.

Even the contradiction between them and Duobao had reasons related to Yunxiao's appearance in some sense.

But now?

The advantage she deliberately avoided in the past had actually failed at this moment, which simply made her unacceptable, unbelievable, and even severely hit.

After a long while, Yunxiao regained her composure, looked at Lin Fan's back as he walked away, clenched her fists, and muttered: "Lin Fan, you forced me!"

"Big Brother certainly has faults, but he is my brother after all."

"Since you want to be an enemy of Big Brother, then you are our enemy."

After speaking, Yunxiao turned and left in anger.

At the same time, Lin Fan, who had walked to the entrance of the cave, paused.

Although Yunxiao's words were subtle, how could they not be heard since everyone was a cultivator?

With a raised mouth, Lin Fan laughed coldly: "Wait and see!"

After speaking, he stepped into his cave dwelling and opened the restriction array without hesitation, intending to continue his cultivation in seclusion. ===== CHAPTER 107 =====
