Lin Fan effortlessly arrived at his room, and even before entering, he heard a series of "wah-wah" cries, which made the corners of his lips involuntarily curl into a slight arc!

Pushing the door open, the Lion, Mouse, Shangxue Qingchuan, and Meina along with Lin Xuechuan were all there!

"Big brother!"

The Lion and Mouse immediately greeted Lin Fan respectfully with a smile.

Lin Fan nodded, asking, "Are you getting used to staying here?"

"Big brother, this place is truly amazing. I used to see such places only in some ancient Huaxia dramas; I never expected Huaxia to really have such a place. I'm starting to love this place!" The Lion grinned widely.

"That's right! Big brother! I feel like I want to stay here and not leave!" Mouse also beamed.

Lin Fan chuckled, "If you like it, I can talk to my mentor about letting you stay here!"

"That would be fantastic!" The Lion said without hesitation, laughing.

Afterward, Lin Fan entered the inner room, where Meina was adeptly diapering Lin Xuechuan, assisted by Shangxue Qingchuan!

Seeing Lin Fan, Meina smiled and nodded, greeting him briefly.

Lin Fan approached, observing the little one constantly kicking his tiny legs, his face full of smiles, and Lin Fan's face also showed a tender smile.

Lin Xuechuan seemed to recognize Lin Fan and reached out with his little hand to grasp Lin Fan's hand, giggling non-stop!

"This child is lively!" Lin Fan chuckled.

"Senior brother, the little guy is as mischievous as you were when you were young." Lin Ya said with a laugh.

Lin Fan coughed awkwardly twice, saying, "Well... I don't think I was that mischievous when I was young!"

"Yes, yes! Senior brother is just an old child!" Lin Ya rolled her eyes at Lin Fan with feigned disapproval!

Lin Fan stayed in the room for a while, and as the sky gradually darkened, dinner time arrived, and Lin Fan and the others had to head to the main hall, leaving Shangxue Qingchuan to care for Meina, and having Lin Ya bring them some food.

The disciples all knew Lin Fan was back, and they all rushed to the main hall. After greeting everyone, Lin Fan sat at the head table.

Those who could dine at this table were all core members of the sect; other disciples weren't eligible to sit here.

In such a traditional sect, etiquette is paramount!

Lin Fan said, "Old man, let me tell you something. My two brothers want to remain in the sect; what do you think?"

Lin Kongxian glanced at the sturdy Lion and Mouse, saying, "Keeping them is indeed possible, but... they can only do rough work in the sect, are they willing?"

The Lion, mimicking scenes from Huaxia Martial Arts dramas, clasped his fists awkwardly in Huaxia language, saying, "Senior, as long as we can stay, we're willing to do anything!"

"Yes, senior, this is simply wonderful; I'm willing to stay here till I die!" Mouse also agreed.

"Since you have no objections, I have no more problems either. From now on, the tasks of chopping wood and drawing water will be yours!" Lin Kongxian instructed.

"Yes! Master!"

The Lion and Mouse clasped their fists continuously, calling him Master!

Next, the Lion and Mouse tried to drink with Lin Kongxian to mimic the boldness of the martial world, hoping to drink Lin Kongxian under the table.

However, they misjudged, as Lin Kongxian flushed after just one cup, yet his complexion remained unchanged though they downed a bowl of wine.

Instead, the Lion and Mouse both drank too much and fainted, needing two disciples to carry them back to their rooms!

After dinner, as the disciples began to leave, only Lin Fan and Lin Kongxian were left in the hall.

Lin Fan took a sip of sake and asked, "Old man, are you really going to keep those two?"

"Though these two have missed the prime age for martial arts training, they are still promising talents! Besides, now that all major sects in the Martial World are gradually connecting with the outside world and absorbing new things, our Sun and Moon Divine Sect can't afford to lag behind. With these two foreigners here, they can give our sect's disciples a taste of different world perspectives." Lin Kongxian explained. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Lin Fan nodded silently, admitting that Lin Kongxian's vision was indeed foresighted. Compared to himself as the current sect leader, he felt somewhat inadequate!

Then, Lin Fan slammed back the white wine in his bowl and said to Lin Kongxian, "I have been in contact with the Ten Thousand Evils Hall."

Upon hearing this, Lin Kongxian raised his eyebrows, asking, "Who?"

"The Young Hall Master of the Ten Thousand Evils Hall, Du Moxie!" Lin Fan answered truthfully.

"This person has extraordinary talent. Over the years, many have lost to him. Shortly after you left the sect, even Lin Bai was defeated by him in one move!" Lin Kongxian remarked seriously.

It was clear that Lin Kongxian held Du Moxie in high regard!

"But, Du Moxie ultimately lost to me, old man, my skills aren't something that Lin Bai, that Black Loach, can compare with!" Lin Fan said with some self-admiration.

However, Lin Kongxian glared at Lin Fan and said, "Do you think that's the true strength of the Ten Thousand Evils Hall? Our Sun and Moon Divine Sect has fallen significantly behind since losing our four heavenly kings, and although Du Moxie is their Young Hall Master, he is not actually the strongest of his generation at the Ten Thousand Evils Hall!"

"Oh? What do you mean by that?" Lin Fan asked in puzzlement.

"Du Moxie ranks second among the disciples of the Ten Thousand Evils Hall. Above him stands his senior, much like the relationship between you and Lin Long. Because Du Moxie is tutored by the Hall Master himself, naturally he will inherit the position as Hall Master in the future!"

"However, there is someone at the Ten Thousand Evils Hall even stronger than Du Moxie, named Du Mo. You should've heard of this name, haven't you?" Lin Kongxian explained to Lin Fan.

Indeed, upon hearing this name, Lin Fan's expression involuntarily stiffened!

Du Mo, how could Lin Fan not know this name!

Years ago, when his little junior apprentice was bullied by disciples from the Ten Thousand Evils Hall, Lin Fan clashed with them, with Du Mo being the group leader!

Du Mo was ten years older than Lin Fan at the time, much stronger, and defeated Lin Fan in three moves. Moreover, he was cruel and merciless, going for a kill from the start, even intending to finish Lin Fan off. Had Lin Kongxian not appeared in time, Lin Fan might be crippled now!

Regarding Du Mo, Lin Fan never spoke of him, yet this matter remained the biggest sore spot in his heart!

Lin Fan's lips curled into a cruel arc, saying, "If I meet him again, I will wash away the disgrace from six years ago in blood!"

"Rest assured, your return has spread throughout the Martial Arts world. Du Mo considers you his biggest rival, and he will certainly come to challenge you!" Lin Kongxian assured.

"Hmph! I look forward to his arrival. Should he come, I wouldn't mind making sure he never returns to the Ten Thousand Evils Hall!"

Lin Fan tightened his fists, eyes glinting coldly!
