"Come on, what is it? Is it that you don't know how to pursue Lin Bai again?"

Lin Fan teased with a laugh.

Everyone in the sect knew about Lin Ya's long-time crush on Lin Bai.

As soon as Lin Ya heard Lin Bai's name, a charming blush spread across her face!

Lin Fan chuckled, "I tell you, Lin Ya, dealing with someone like Lin Bai, normal thinking doesn't work. If it comes to it, I can get you some aphrodisiac or whatever. Or just make rice into cooked rice and have done with it!"

The more Lin Fan spoke, the redder Lin Ya's face became, turning as red as a ripe peach in the end!

"Ah, Fan, it's not about Lin Bai!" Lin Ya said.

"Oh? Then what is it?" Lin Fan raised an eyebrow in curiosity!

Lin Ya slowly pulled out a letter from her bosom!

Seeing the letter, Lin Fan suddenly felt an unease deep down, as he seemed already to know whose message it was!

Sure enough, Lin Ya said, "This is from Qianxiao for you."

"Where is she?" Lin Fan asked urgently.

"She has already left!"

Lin Ya sighed and said, "She said she's been feeling heavy-hearted recently and decided to take a walk. She already spoke to your master and got his permission!"

As she spoke, Lin Ya handed the letter to Lin Fan!

Seeing this, Lin Fan felt his heart also grow unbearably heavy. He reached for a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a deep drag before slowly pulling out the letter!

Though the letter was as light as a feather, once in Lin Fan's hands, it felt like he was holding a thousand-pound weight!

Lin Fan slowly opened the letter to see elegant, slender characters—recognizably his junior sister's handwriting!

The message inside was very simple, containing only one sentence!

"Since departing, I don't know when I'll return. If destiny allows, we'll naturally meet again!"

At the bottom, there were the elegant characters: Lin Qianxiao.

"Phew!"

Lin Fan let out a long breath, feeling a blockage, as if there were something stuck in his chest!

"Do you have any idea where she went?" Lin Fan hurriedly asked Lin Ya!

Lin Ya shook her head and said, "Junior sister left early; I have no idea where she went!"

Lin Fan opened his mouth, eager to say something but unsure how to express it!

Then, Lin Fan took out a lighter and burned the letter into ashes!

"What are you doing? Why burn it?" Lin Ya exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Fan offered a bitter smile, "Just like junior sister said, if we are destined, we will meet again naturally!"

Soon, the letter turned into ashes, carried away by the wind!

After that, Lin Fan turned and walked out of the courtyard, his pace slow due to the weight on his feet, as though he's bound with thousand-pound weights!

After finishing his cigarette, he finally walked out of the small courtyard and headed toward the main hall!

Inside the main hall, Lin Kongxian sat at the head seat, eyes closed, holding his breath and concentrating!

Upon hearing footsteps, Lin Kongxian exhaled, but he did not open his eyes, having already guessed it was Lin Fan, saying, "You're here!"

Lin nodded, sat to the side, picked up a cup of hot tea, and took a sip, "Why did you let junior sister leave?"

"The feelings between you two require some time apart!" Lin Kongxian said.

"Why?" Lin Fan asked, puzzled.

"Five years ago, you left, she waited; now, she leaves, you wait. If, when she returns, your heart still holds her, the knot between you two will naturally be untied. Do you understand?" Lin Kongxian spoke with weighty sincerity. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Lin Fan sighed heavily, understanding Lin Kongxian's intention to let Lin Qianxiao find balance, to allow her to go out and unlock her own heart, freeing her soul!

Currently, Lin Fan could not think of any other way to resolve the emotional knot between him and junior sister!

Perhaps this is the best way!

But Lin Fan did not know how long it would take for junior sister to untie this emotional knot—one year? Two years? Five years? Or ten years?

Yet, a voice arose in Lin Fan's heart: Whether five years, ten years, thirty years, or even fifty years, as long as I live, I will wait!

Lin Kongxian opened his eyes, seeing Lin Fan's heavy expression, patting his shoulder, "Her departure is both good and bad for you. At least it allows you to focus on the things you should be doing now!"

"What things?" Lin Fan asked curiously.

"Blood clan!"

Lin Kongxian's expression suddenly became sharp, his tone calm.

Hearing this, Lin Fan was full of confusion, could it be that Lin Kongxian had dealings with the blood clan?

Lin Kongxian saw Lin Fan's confusion and explained, "As far as I know, the blood clan has been making moves recently, even likely entering Huaxia, be cautious!"

"Huaxia's defense is so thorough; surely they would be spotted immediately if they entered!" Lin Fan said.

"Not necessarily, after all, blood clan members, when normal, are not much different from average people!" Lin Kongxian said.

Lin Fan nodded silently!

With a vast Huaxia, who knows where the blood clan may enter, indeed it's hard to guard against!

"Old man, how did you hear about this?" Lin Fan asked curiously.

"I have my ways. Once you've fully taken over the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, I will tell you everything. Also, have you found the last of the Four Heavenly Kings?" Lin Kongxian asked.

"I already have a target, but Lin Bai refuses to become one of them because his Qi cultivation would have to be abolished first!" Lin Fan said solemnly.

"Lin Bai's skills were taught by both your second and fifth shishu, they've become like parents to him, so naturally, he's unwilling to destroy his Qi cultivation!" Lin Kongxian said.

"Old man, do you have a way?" Lin Fan asked.

Instead of speaking, Lin kongxian closed his eyes tightly, holding out his right hand in a fortune-telling gesture, calculating and then saying, "There needs to be one last opportunity."

"Opportunity?" Lin Fan was completely baffled!

"Your current goal is to first summon that last person!" Lin Kongxian said.

"Alright, I will quickly go to Yanjing!" Lin Fan nodded.

"Once the Four Heavenly Kings mature, our Sun and Moon Divine Sect shall reclaim the title of number one sect in the Martial World!" Lin Kongxian declared with unrivaled confidence in every word!

Then, Lin Kongxian tilted his head back, laughed thrice, and walked out of the main hall!

"I'm honestly looking forward to the day when the Sun and Moon Divine Sect reclaims the title of top sect in the Martial World!"

Lin Fan's lips curled into a greedy smile!
