Chapter 131

"The two Palace Masters, Yao Yue and Brother Lian Xing, rarely leave the Flower-Piercing Palace. May I ask what brings you out this time?"

Lin Fan hurriedly changed the subject; if they kept talking, they would end up fighting.

"We came out to hunt down the Twelve Zodiacs. They are far too good at running and hiding!"

Speaking of this, Brother Lian Xing was filled with resentment.

"There is no need to force things; what is meant to come will come eventually!"

Lin Fan smiled and comforted her. Among the Twelve Zodiacs, only Wei Wei Wuya was somewhat formidable; the others were mere lackeys. If they hadn't run, they would have been slaughtered by Yao Yue and Brother Lian Xing long ago.

Besides, the Twelve Zodiacs could not die yet. They had not yet intercepted Jiang Feng. Only after Jiang Qin betrayed Jiang Feng could he become Jiang Jiang Biehe, and only then could Jiang Wang Yuyan be born.

"I wonder what brings Young Master Lin to Hengyang City?"

Yao Yue spoke, her voice sounding much colder than Brother Lian Xing's.

"I came to see the girl Bai Feifei!"

Lin Fan didn't care at all, simply reaching out to pat Bai Feifei on the head.

"You are quite good to this little girl, aren't you?"

Yao Yue looked up and scrutinized Qu Qu Feiyan, which scared Qu Yang half to death. But Qu Qu Feiyan, a newborn calf not fearing the tiger, was not only unafraid but curiously sized up Yao Yue in return.

Qu Yang was even more terrified, wishing he could jump up and give Qu Qu Feiyan a flick on the forehead.

"Your food and wine are here, guests!"

Just as they were talking, the waiter brought the food and wine to their table.

"Please make yourselves at home, Palace Masters!"

Lin Fan had never liked tedious formalities. Previously, he only ate with his own women, so he didn't need to mind his manners. But today, with Yao Yue and Brother Lian Xing present, Lin Fan decided to be a bit more polite.

Huang Rong stood up to pour their wine. Lin Fan raised his glass in a toast through the air, and Yao Yue and Brother Lian Xing also raised their glasses in acknowledgment.

"Young Master Lin, I have matters to attend to and must take my leave first!"

With Yao Yue and Brother Lian Xing here, Qu Yang felt like he couldn't breathe. Since he had things to discuss with Liu Liu Zhengfeng, he asked to be excused.

"Qu Yang takes his leave. Bai Feifei, you stay by Young Master Lin's side!"

"Grandpa, I want to go with you!"

Qu Qu Feiyan couldn't bear to leave Qu Yang; she had depended on her grandfather for survival since she was young, wandering the Wu Lin together.

"Grandpa is just going to find your Grandpa Liu; it's not like I'm never coming back. You don't need to worry. Stay well with Young Master Lin, and I'll be back once I've finished my business."

Qu Yang offered a word of comfort, then stood up and left.

Lin Fan felt a bit strange hearing this. Why did Qu Yang sound like he was setting a flag? He wouldn't really never return, would he? Usually, people who said things like that never came back.

"Is Young Master Lin worried about something?"

Brother Lian Xing looked thoughtfully at the back of the departing Qu Yang.

"It's nothing. I was just wondering where the Songshan Sect went. I have something to discuss with them."

"Something as important as taking their lives?"

Yao Yue suddenly spoke.

"Curious how I figured it out? Because there is killing intent in your eyes!"

Yaoyue looked at the surprised Lin Fan and revealed a triumphant smile. So what if his Wu Gong is high? His experience in the Wu Lin is still too shallow.

"Young Master Lin, I also need to go find my Master, otherwise she will be worried!"

Yilin suddenly spoke up. Lin Fan and the others were discussing killing her uncle from the Songshan Sect here; she could neither bring herself to betray Lin Fan and report him, nor could she remain at ease and act as if nothing happened, so she felt as if she were sitting on pins and needles.

"That's fine, but you little nun, you must be careful. If you run into a lecherous thief again, you might not have the good luck to run into me to save you!"

Lin Fan teased Yilin with a smile.

"I am not pretty at all, Brother Lin, please do not mock me. These three sisters are much prettier than me. Amitabha, why did I develop a heart of comparison? Sin, what a sin!"

Yilin first looked at Lin Fan shyly, then glanced at Huang Rong, Yaoyue, and Lianxing, feeling somewhat ashamed of her own inferiority.

But then she immediately thought that she was a monastic, and should not harbor a heart of comparison, which made her feel even more ashamed.

"She is indeed a cute and simple little nun; you have quite an eye!"

Yaoyue sized Yilin up and found that she was indeed simple, so she couldn't help but look at Lin Fan with surprise.

What kind of look is that? I always feel like you are thinking of something bad!

"Ah, me? I can't, I have to go find my Master. Goodbye Brother Lin, goodbye three sisters!"

Hearing Yaoyue's words, Lin Fan felt a bit helpless, while Yilin's pretty face turned red with shyness, and she hurriedly said her goodbyes, preparing to leave.

"Sister Yilin, you forgot about me!"

Seeing Yilin looking like a startled little deer, even Qu Qu Feiyan couldn't help but tease her.

"Ah? Then goodbye to you too, Sister Bai Feifei!"

Yilin hurriedly said her farewells and then rushed out of the Huiyan Restaurant.

"Such a green little nun is truly pitiful to behold; she counts as a pretty good prey. What do you think, Young Master Lin?"

"What do I think? I think while sitting. Palace Master Yaoyue, aren't you overthinking things? I was just acting on a whim to save her from fire and water."

Lin Fan rubbed his nose awkwardly. Where did the rumors about him being a romantic and sentimental person spread from? How come even Yaoyue thinks he has designs on Yilin?

But she is a pretty bald nun, and she is much prettier than that nun in the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra.

"Yaoyue!"

"?"

"Call me Yaoyue, no need to include 'Palace Master'. Didn't you say we are friends?"

Yaoyue's expression was serious; she clearly cared a lot about this matter.

"Alright Yaoyue, then you all can just call me Lin Fan; no need to call me Young Master Lin anymore."

Lin Fan went along with it; it was just a form of address, after all.

"Hurry up and eat, otherwise the food will get cold!"

Huang Rong reminded Lin Fan and the others.

And so, one man and three women ate in a harmonious atmosphere. The food and wine at the Huiyan Restaurant were quite good, and with beauties for company, Lin Fan ate with great delight.

"Lin Fan, my sister and I have important matters to attend to, so we must take our leave first, but I believe we will meet again."

After they were full, Yaoyue bid farewell to Lin Fan. Lianxing, standing to the side, seemed to have something to say, but she dared not defy Yaoyue's words.

"Since that is the case, mountains and rivers will meet again; we shall meet later!"

Lin Fan was stunned for a moment; he hadn't expected Yaoyue to leave so soon. Could it be that they weren't actually chasing after him day and night?

But he didn't dwell on it; anyway, the women who were meant to be his wouldn't be able to run away.

"Before I leave, I'll give you a surprise. This sword, Green Blood Reflecting Vermilion, is a gift for you!"

Yaoyue suddenly took out a precious sword and handed it to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan was somewhat taken aback. Was Yaoyue being this polite? Before he had the Seven Star Dragon-Coiling Sword, he had even thought about snatching her Green Blood Reflecting Vermilion and Zhang Zhang Sanfeng's Flowing Cloud Flying Moon.

"Then Lin Fan, this is for you!"

Seeing that Yaoyue, with her cold and arrogant nature, had taken the initiative, Lianxing couldn't fall behind, so she took out her personal handkerchief to give to Lin Fan.

Yaoyue was death-staring Lianxing from the side. Although Lianxing was a bit afraid, she still firmly handed over her personal handkerchief.
