Chapter 26: Kong Xuan

"Hmm?"

Hearing the voice, Lin Fan paused.

Subconsciously looking around, he didn't see anyone else, so he was sure the other party was talking to him.

For a moment, Lin Fan couldn't help but frown.

Although he didn't know who the other party was, since they invited him, they must know him.

"A personal disciple is impossible!"

"Could this place be the residence of some inner sect disciple?"

Muttering to himself, Lin Fan was suspicious but didn't stay, riding his cloud toward the front.

Soon, Lin Fan arrived deep in the forest. As far as the eye could see, there was an open space with a wooden house, pavilions, tables, and chairs, and many flowers and plants planted in the courtyard, basically all at the spirit herb level.

Besides that, there was a special Wutong tree behind the wooden house.

It was pale gold overall, and it felt like a sharp blade standing there.

"Fellow Daoist, come over and have some tea!"

At this time, an illusory voice came.

The next second, a figure appeared in the pavilion, and tea was being cooked on the stone table in front of him. As the breeze blew, a faint tea fragrance drifted. Just by smelling it, Lin Fan felt his magic power restless, with a trend of improvement.

"Good tea!"

Subconsciously blurting out, Lin Fan landed.

Stepping into the courtyard, he went straight to the pavilion.

Until now, Lin Fan saw the appearance of this person clearly.

It was a face that was handsome beyond words, but not feminine; instead, it presented a masculine temperament.

Especially that pale green Daoist robe, which set off the person's indifferent and noble posture.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist!"

Bowing, Lin Fan didn't sit down directly, but asked curiously: "I don't know how to address you, Fellow Daoist?"

Before, Lin Fan thought it was some inner sect disciple who recognized him.

But now it seems it's not the case; at least he had never seen this person before.

"Outer sect disciple Kong Xuan, greetings, Fellow Daoist Lin Fan!"

Smiling indifferently, Kong Xuan picked up the teapot and began to pour tea.

After the tea was poured, Kong Xuan pointed to the stone stool opposite and said: "Fellow Daoist might not know me, but you should know my brother; his name is Yuyixian!"

Kong Xuan!

It's him!

His pupils shrank, and Lin Fan was shocked.

He never expected that he would meet this Eldest Prince of the Phoenix Clan while going out to find spirit roots, spirit herbs, and spirit stones.

When Yuyixian tried to win him over, Lin Fan knew that Kong Xuan was involved.

However, he chose to refuse at that time, not intending to have any relationship with Kong Xuan or Yuyixian, nor did he want to participate in the affairs of the Phoenix Clan.

But he didn't expect that after such a short time, he would meet Kong Xuan and even come to his residence area.

Shocked in his heart, Lin Fan sat down calmly on the surface.

Casually picking up the teacup and taking a sip, the tea entered his stomach, directly making him feel his magic power improve a bit, and even purify a bit.

"Good tea!"

Praising again, Lin Fan put down the teacup and looked at Kong Xuan: "So it's Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan. I don't know why you invited me here, Fellow Daoist?"

"If it's about that matter from before, I can only apologize and choose to refuse."

Although he didn't want to offend the other party, Lin Fan was even less willing to participate in it. At this time, it was better to be direct.

After all, only by directly refusing the other party would he not be involved. His goal was not to be in the limelight, nor to fight for power and profit.

"Fellow Daoist Lin Fan is joking!"

Smiling indifferently, Kong Xuan looked at Lin Fan deeply.

He knew what the other party meant, and knew even better why Lin Fan refused directly.

But precisely because of this, Kong Xuan looked at Lin Fan differently, vaguely feeling that the other party seemed to have sensed something, or even knew some information.

Thinking of this, Kong Xuan said: "My brother already informed me about that matter before, and that matter naturally ended. After all, if the fellow Daoist is unwilling, then forcing it has no meaning."

"Inviting the fellow Daoist here today is because I unintentionally sensed the fellow Daoist passing by, and I also wanted to get to know the fellow Daoist!"

"After all, the fellow Daoist hasn't gone out these years, but Golden Turtle Island is full of rumors about the fellow Daoist!"

"Oh?"

Raising an eyebrow, Lin Fan asked curiously: "What rumors!"

In his heart, he breathed a sigh of relief; after all, Kong Xuan didn't force him to join the Neutral Faction, so he didn't need to tear his face with him.

Most importantly, he knew Kong Xuan's strength very well.

Maybe Kong Xuan hadn't reached the Quasi-Saint level at this time, but he would definitely not be weaker than personal disciples like Duobao, and might even be stronger than them.

"The disciple most recognized by the Tongtian Sect Leader!"

Without hiding anything, Kong Xuan picked up his teacup and said while drinking: "Rumor has it that the fellow Daoist is gifted, and with the cultivation of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, you can get the favor of the Tongtian Sect Leader, and even say that if it weren't for the fellow Daoist's insufficient cultivation, you might become the fifth personal disciple!"

"Of course, there are other rumors, saying that the fellow Daoist is transformed from an ancient demon god origin, possessing great fortune, great potential, and great opportunity!"

Damn!

Listening to Kong Xuan's words, Lin Fan was broken.

He never expected the rumors about him on Golden Turtle Island to be so praising.

The fifth personal disciple.

Ancient demon god origin?

Which one of these isn't putting him on the fire to roast, completely contrary to his style of keeping a low profile.

"Damn it, I just want to develop in a low profile, why is it so difficult!"

Muttering in his heart, Lin Fan smiled reluctantly: "It's simply nonsense!"

"I do have some small means, but wanting to become the fifth personal disciple is simply a pipe dream."

"As for the ancient demon god origin, that is even more slander, naked slander. I am only a Lower-grade Innate Deity origin; what virtue and ability do I have to reach the level they say?"

Although it was a complaint, Lin Fan hoped to spread this information.

After all, his goal was to stay cautious, not to be flashy, and to develop in a low profile; he didn't want to be so dazzling and become a thorn in the side of countless people!

"Is that so?"

Giving Lin Fan a thoughtful look, Kong Xuan confirmed that he was not lying.

However, if it were only a Lower-grade Innate Deity origin, why did he get the favor and partiality of the Tongtian Sect Leader?

Doubts were doubts, but Kong Xuan didn't dwell on this topic, but changed the subject: "Since that's the case, I am even more curious about why the fellow Daoist went out this time?"

"After all, I have heard about the fellow Daoist's affairs. Since joining the Jie Sect, except for the first one or two appearances, the rest of the time has been spent in the cave dwelling, cultivating and becoming stronger."

"Now it seems the fellow Daoist's retreat harvest is still very large, with the cultivation of the Mysterious Immortal Realm, which can be considered as crossing the first step of cultivation!" ===== CHAPTER 27 =====
