Chapter 6: Wudang

Hearing this, Lin Fan narrowed his eyes slightly.

He could feel Duobao's annoyance and discomfort, and it was clear that he was somewhat repulsed by Wudang Shengmu.

Thinking about it, it made sense.

Even as the Senior Personal Disciple, what Duobao inherited was only the common path taught by Tongtian.

Duobao, Guiling, and Jinling—the paths of these three Personal Disciples were basically the same. They possessed outstanding cultivation talent and a strong background, but they didn't have anything too outstanding in terms of array Dao talent or sword Dao talent.

This also led to them not truly inheriting Tongtian's mantle. If they were just Inner Sect Disciples, that would be fine.

For example, the Three Xiao sisters.

Their array Dao talent was extraordinary, but they were only Inner Sect Disciples and did not threaten Duobao's status.

But Wudang was different.

As a Personal Disciple, she even inherited Tongtian's sword Dao. If it weren't for Wudang's attitude of being indifferent to the world, Duobao might not even be able to sit firmly in the position of Senior Brother.

Even so, Duobao was only the Senior Personal Disciple, not the Young Sect Leader, nor the inheritor of the mantle.

And all of this, Wudang Shengmu was clearly more compatible with, and if she worked hard, the possibility of Tongtian bestowing it upon her was very high.

"Greetings, Senior Sister Wudang!"

Understanding was understanding, but Lin Fan didn't have any strange reactions on the surface, bowing respectfully to Wudang Shengmu.

"Junior Brother Lin Fan, you are too polite."

Wudang also felt Duobao's emotions. Although she didn't have the intention to compete with him, there were some things that simply couldn't be explained, and couldn't be cleared up.

Thinking of this, Wudang Shengmu took out a mirror from her bosom and handed it over: "Junior Brother Lin Fan, this is a Superior Postnatal Spirit Treasure, consider it a greeting gift for you."

"Thank you, Senior Sister Wudang!"

Reaching out to take the mirror, Lin Fan was very satisfied with it.

And Wudang looked at Lin Fan thoughtfully. Like Mother Guiling and Mother Jinling, she also felt that special palpitation.

Besides that, she also felt a trace of the same origin emanating from Lin Fan's body.

"Shangqing Sword Dao!"

At this moment, Wudang Shengmu looked at Lin Fan deeply, and then said: "Since we have met, I will take my leave first."

"If Junior Brother Lin Fan has anything you don't understand, you can come to me for guidance!"

After saying this, Wudang Shengmu turned and left.

And her words made Lin Fan somewhat surprised. Watching her departing back, he thought: "What's going on?"

"Wudang Shengmu took the initiative to invite me? But we don't seem to have any interaction."

"Or did she see something, or feel something?"

At this moment, Lin Fan's heart felt somewhat heavy.

Although he didn't know why Wudang Shengmu was like this, he vaguely felt that things were not simple.

Especially Duobao, who was on the side, clearly looked at Lin Fan with suspicion after Wudang Shengmu left those words.

The rest of the process was simple.

Except for the Personal Disciples who gave greeting gifts, the other Inner Sect Disciples did not give Lin Fan anything.

In just a few minutes, all the Inner Sect Disciples had been introduced under Duobao's leadership. Except for the Three Xiao sisters, the other Inner Sect Disciples just greeted him and turned to leave.

Clearly, those Inner Sect Disciples didn't care much about Lin Fan's existence, and some who felt envious and jealous even left with expressionless faces.

"Alright, Junior Brother Lin Fan!"

After everyone had been introduced, Duobao didn't intend to delay any longer: "You have met everyone you should meet. Next, I will take you to find a cave dwelling to live in, and then..."

"Senior Brother!"

Before Duobao could finish, Bixiao suddenly spoke: "Let us take Junior Brother to find one!"

"It just so happens that there are a few cave dwellings in the area where we live, and the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth is abundant enough!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole hall was silent.

Duobao swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue, looked at Lin Fan, then at the eager Bixiao, and hesitated for a moment: "In that case, I will trouble the three Junior Sisters."

"It just so happens that I still have some things to deal with, so I won't delay any longer."

"Junior Brother Lin Fan, what do you think?"

It seemed like a question, but Duobao's meaning was very clear: he didn't want to continue taking Lin Fan around.

"Good!"

Lin Fan also understood Duobao's intentions, bowed and said: "Then I will trouble the three Senior Sisters. Senior Brother, take your time!"

"Hmm!"

Nodding, Duobao didn't linger and turned to leave the place.

"Third Sister, you went too far."

"Little Sister, what you did was inappropriate!"

Following Duobao's departure, Yunxiao and Qiongxiao frowned, looking at Bixiao with some dissatisfaction.

It wasn't that they were unwilling to take Lin Fan to find a residence, but Bixiao's behavior just now didn't give Duobao any face.

"Pfft, what are you afraid of!"

To this, Bixiao didn't take it to heart, shrugging her shoulders: "Senior Brother clearly didn't want to, I was helping him, wasn't I?"

"Besides, the residences on Golden Turtle Island are basically full, and truly good cave dwellings are few and far between."

"Junior Brother is only at the Earth Immortal realm. If the cave dwelling isn't good, how can he cultivate and become stronger?"

"And isn't there still a cave dwelling in our living area? There are so many annoying guys fighting to make a scene; it's better to let Junior Brother live there to cut off those guys' thoughts..."

Listening to Bixiao's words, Lin Fan finally understood what was going on.

Bixiao wanted to use him as a shield.

Although he didn't know the specific situation of the cave dwelling, being able to live in the same area as the Three Xiao sisters, some disciples with ulterior motives were probably ready to make a move.

As for Yunxiao and Qiongxiao.

The two sisters also had such thoughts, but they were more worried about Bixiao's words offending Duobao just now.

Most importantly, the conflict between them and Duobao seemed to be quite significant.

Combined with the Jie Sect disciples he had met before, except for a few who were respectful to Duobao, the others didn't seem to give him much face.

"It seems the Jie Sect is more divided than I imagined."

"That's right, if they were truly united, the ten thousand immortals of the Jie Sect would have swept across everything. How could the Chan Sect, the Western Sect, and the mortals of Xiqi stop them?"

"Only with factions standing side by side could outsiders find an opportunity, and only then could they be broken one by one!"

Thinking of this, Lin Fan felt much more relieved.

Looking at this posture, he would have to find a good backer within the Jie Sect later.

The Three Xiao sisters wanting to use him as a shield—wasn't that a form of protection for him?

Among the Inner Sect Disciples, the Three Xiao sisters are one, and they are deeply loved by Tongtian, which is a good choice. As for the Personal Disciples, without Duobao, Wudang Shengmu is also a very good choice. After all, compared to Duobao, Jinling, and Guiling, who all have the heart to fight for power, Wudang truly doesn't compete. With her protection, it would save a lot of trouble and give him enough time to cultivate and become stronger. ===== CHAPTER 7 =====

After all, compared to Duobao, Jinling, and Guiling, who all harbor desires for power and profit, Wudang truly does not contend; having her protection will reduce a lot of trouble, giving him enough time to cultivate and become stronger.
