Chapter 271: The Purple Orchid Pavilion

"So, the three of us are suffering the consequences of our own actions? If we hadn't taken it upon ourselves to attack you, you wouldn't have captured us?"

The Great Commander asked this, still finding it somewhat hard to believe.

"You are correct. You gave me the excuse yourselves; you have no one else to blame!"

Lin Fan glanced at the two with a beaming smile. As for the Young Commander, she still did not like to speak.

"Then where does the Young Master intend to go?"

Concubine Yan then followed up with a question. Since Lin Fan was not going to snatch the royal princess, what were his plans next?

"Next, I'm going to the Purple Orchid Pavilion in the State of Han to take a look!"

Lin Fan did not hide it and told the women straight out.

"The Purple Orchid Pavilion? I've heard that's a place of pleasure. Is it really necessary to go all the way to the State of Han just for a pleasure house?"

Concubine Yan looked at Lin Fan with some astonishment. Young Master Lin had quite the extravagant taste; could the pleasure houses of the Great Qin no longer satisfy him? He actually wanted to travel thousands of miles to the State of Han.

"It doesn't matter. I'm traveling the world anyway and won't stay in one place for long. It's just a pity I didn't get to see the true face of Eastern Emperor Donghuang Taiyi; I couldn't even figure out if he was a man or a woman!"

Could it be that Eastern Emperor Donghuang Taiyi knew through astrology that he would come to find trouble and expose his identity, and thus deliberately fled in advance?

"Even we have never seen the true face of the Eastern Emperor. He certainly wouldn't let you expose it!"

The Moon Goddess shook her head, feeling that Lin Fan was overthinking things.

"As long as he dares to show his face in front of me, I can naturally expose his true identity. I'm only afraid he'll keep hiding and never appear!"

Lin Fan was somewhat disdainful. He was already at the peak of the Land Immortal realm; even if space were to shatter, he could still put up a fight. Eastern Emperor Donghuang Taiyi only had the strength of an early-stage Land Immortal and couldn't even stir up a ripple in front of him.

"Is the Eastern Emperor really no match for you?"

Upon hearing this, the Moon Goddess asked Lin Fan with a serious expression.

"Do you think he's hiding from me out of boredom? The gap between him and me is far greater than the gap between you and him!"

"Since it's still early and we have an hour's journey, let's set off for the State of Han!"

Lin Fan looked at the sky and prepared to depart immediately.

"In such a rush? Are you going to ignore everything else here in the Great Qin?"

"What else is there in the Great Qin? What does it have to do with me?"

Lin Fan used his Thunder-Startling Azure Dragon technique to reach the stables, summoned the Claw-Yellow Flying Lightning and the Cloud-Treading Black Steed, then led out the Night-Shining Jade Lion and brought them to the main entrance of the Welcoming Guest Tower.

Then, Lin Fan held Yin Yin Susu in his arms, with Li Li Qingluo sitting behind him. Concubine Yan rode the Claw-Yellow Flying Lightning with the Moon Goddess, and the Great Commander rode the Cloud-Treading Black Steed with the Young Commander. The seven of them on three horses left Xianyang, heading toward Xinzheng in the State of Han.

When Lin Fan's group had ridden out for more than ten miles, Lin Fan looked back. He had just faintly felt the aura of that fellow, Eastern Emperor Donghuang Taiyi, appear in Xianyang again. Could it be that this guy had been hiding in Xianyang all along and hadn't fled?

Forget it. Lin Fan's attitude toward him was indifferent; if they met, he would test him, but since he was hiding, Lin Fan couldn't be bothered to look for him.

Lin Fan continued on his way with the women, gradually disappearing over the horizon.

"Eastern Emperor, you've returned?"

Star Soul looked at Eastern Emperor Donghuang Taiyi as he walked into the Star-Plucking Tower and asked with some excitement.

"I never left; I was just deliberately hiding from Lin Fan!"

Eastern Emperor Donghuang Taiyi felt somewhat helpless. Encountering such a troublesome opponent as Lin Fan was truly a first in his life. He had used astrology to calculate for himself several times and discovered that if his true form appeared before Lin Fan, he would surely be captured and his true face exposed. That was why he had even neglected the Yin-Yang School and gone into hiding.

"But the Moon Goddess and the others have all been captured by Lin Fan, and he even humiliated me. It's truly detestable!"

Star Soul was very dissatisfied because Lin Fan had treated him like an ant and completely ignored him.

"Forget it, we are no match for him. Since ancient times, might has been the hard truth. However, I believe that with the wisdom of the Moon Goddess and the others, it won't be difficult for them to find an opportunity to return on their own!"

Eastern Emperor Donghuang Taiyi was comforting both Star Soul and himself.

Because four high-ranking members of their Yin-Yang School—the Moon Goddess, the Great Commander, the Young Commander, plus the voluntary Eastern Lord—had all been rounded up by Lin Fan, the strength of the Yin-Yang School had been greatly weakened. If Lin Fan didn't release them, the loss to the Yin-Yang School would be too great.

If Lin Fan knew Eastern Emperor Donghuang Taiyi's thoughts, he would surely mock him. Was he, Lin Fan, someone to be trifled with? Since the Moon Goddess and the others had fallen into his hands, they shouldn't even think about leaving again.

Lin Fan traveled with the women for an hour, then took them back into his space.
