Chapter 513
"You're overthinking it!"
Li Chungang shook his head slightly, signaling that Xu Fengnian was wrong.
"Does Senior mean that my second sister and Lin Fan are not in a romantic relationship, and this is all a misunderstanding?"
Xu Fengnian breathed a sigh of relief. As long as that wasn't the case, it was fine; he had thought Lin Fan had taken away every woman he knew.
"I'm saying that your eldest sister, Xu Zhihu, might also be unable to escape his grasp. Haven't you noticed the direction they left in?"
Li Chungang said this after casting a deep look at the black shadow about to disappear on the horizon.
"That's the Jiangnan Lu family? He's going to find my eldest sister? Is he even human?"
Xu Fengnian felt a bit broken upon hearing this. What kind of person was this, specifically targeting him to bully?
His eldest sister was already married. Although it was a political marriage, a political marriage was still a marriage. Even if her husband was already dead, she was still nominally the daughter-in-law of the Jiangnan Lu family. If she left with Lin Fan, the original purpose of her marrying into the Lu family would cease to exist entirely.
"Lin Fan, are you going to the Jiangnan Lu family?"
Xu Weixiong, on the back of the crane, also noticed the issue with their direction. Linking it to Lin Fan's consistent style, she guessed his intentions.
"That's right. Don't you want to see your eldest sister?"
Lin Fan asked softly in her ear while holding her slender waist.
"Setting aside the fact that we haven't gotten along since childhood, even if I wanted to see her, this isn't the way to do it. You're going to the Lu family to snatch someone, aren't you?"
Xu Weixiong said with a helpless expression.
"You really have a sharp eye. But it's not like I absolutely must see Xu Zhihu. If you can persuade me, I can also choose not to go!"
Lin Fan looked at Xu Weixiong with a smile. Regarding Xu Zhihu, Lin Fan was actually more curious than anything else.
The original story said she was the reincarnation of the woman in red whom Lu Zu loved. Lu Zu first reincarnated as Qi Xuanzhen, then as Hong Xixiang, and finally, to save her, Hong Xixiang voluntarily acted for the righteous path of heaven and earth, cultivating for another three hundred years just to ask for a sliver of hope for heaven and earth, allowing Xu Zhihu to ascend. It sounded very mythological.
However, in this Comprehensive Martial Arts World, there was no such thing as reincarnation, because there was no Underworld here, and naturally, no Six Paths of Reincarnation or rebirth.
Lin Fan suspected that those so-called reincarnations were actually soul possession. When a person became powerful to a certain extent, their soul would become exceptionally strong. After the physical body died, the soul would forcibly occupy another person's body, which was then called reincarnation.
"I'm not telling you not to go. As long as you want to go, then go. I just want you to go later, wait until Xu Fengnian succeeds as the Prince of Northern Liang, and when he no longer needs the Jiangnan Lu family, then you can go!"
"If you take my eldest sister away from the Lu family now, the Lu family will turn against Northern Liang, which will add a lot of turmoil. Therefore, at this critical moment of power transition in Northern Liang, my eldest sister will not leave with you!"
Xu Weixiong earnestly persuaded Lin Fan. In fact, this was also Xu Zhihu's wish.
She had previously added Xu Zhihu as a friend on the diary copy. Now that she had told Xu Zhihu the news that Lin Fan was going to the Lu family, Xu Zhihu had sent a message asking her to persuade Lin Fan to wait a while before coming to pick her up.
"That makes sense. Then where do you think I should go?"
As Xu Fengnian's eldest sister, Xu Zhihu was also the person who loved Xu Fengnian the most in Northern Liang. For Xu Fengnian's sake, she might truly not leave with him right now. Lin Fan was unwilling to force her; what he needed was for the other party to leave with him willingly.
"Find the owner of that sword, the Snow Moon Sword Immortal, Li Hanyi!"
Xu Weixiong remembered the Iron Horse Binghe sword that Lin Fan had taken out earlier.
"Hanyi?"
Lin Fan's heart stirred, and the Iron Horse Binghe appeared in his hand. He gently stroked the sword body, and his heart couldn't help but surge.
"Do you have an unforgettable story with the Snow Moon Sword Immortal? Why is her sword in your hands?"
Xu Weixiong cast her gaze upon the Iron Horse Binghe and asked thoughtfully.
"That's because my Seven Star Pan Long is in Hanyi's hands. As for a story? I wouldn't call it that. It was just a cliché hero saving a beauty. This sword is a token of love Hanyi gave me. Even Yaoyue's Green Blood Painting the Danqing is in my hands."
Lin Fan recalled the bits and pieces of how he met Li Hanyi, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but lift slightly.
"Then should I give you the Red Chi?"
Xu Weixiong took out her Red Chi sword and handed it to Lin Fan.
"That's not necessary. At my realm, ordinary weapons are already useless. Whether I have a sword or not makes little difference."
"Although my Red Chi cannot compare to the Iron Horse Binghe, it is still a rare sharp blade in the world!"
Xu Weixiong was a bit unconvinced. Was her Red Chi that bad?
"That's because I have the Yixi Sword, so other weapons are of little use to me!"
Lin Fan's heart stirred, and he took out the Yixi Sword. As soon as the Yixi Sword appeared, the Iron Horse Binghe began to tremble slightly.
It seemed that the sword had a spirit and felt threatened.
"The Yixi Sword is a rare weapon in the world, cast from the fusion of six-alloy gold and the soul of the swordsmith Yixi. This sword is indestructible and invincible! It possesses spirituality and also carries baleful energy. The baleful energy can control a person's thoughts, making them controlled by it. Once a person and sword become one, they can be invincible in the world!"
Seeing Xu Weixiong wanting to reach out and touch the Yixi Sword, Lin Fan stopped her, because with her strength, she couldn't touch the Yixi Sword yet.
"He'er, go to Snow Moon City!"
Lin Fan put away the Yixi Sword and gently patted the crane's back as he spoke.
The crane turned its head to look at Lin Fan, and Lin Fan actually saw a hint of contempt in its eyes. What was going on? Was it rebelling?
"Lin Fan, is there a possibility that this crane doesn't know where Snow Moon City is? I'm afraid you can only tell it which direction to fly in?"
Looking at Lin Fan's somewhat confused appearance, Xu Weixiong covered her mouth and giggled. Even the crane despised Lin Fan, and Lin Fan hadn't figured it out yet.
"If you knew, why didn't you say so earlier?"
Lin Fan gently patted the crane's back a few times to show his dissatisfaction.
"Woah!"
The crane let out a low cry and headed towards the mountains and rivers.
