Extraordinary Medical Saint in the City-Chapter 1360 - 1358: Shameless Scoundrel, Don’t Talk to Me!
Whoosh.
Everyone looked over in unison, faces filled with displeasure.
Who is this senseless person! How dare they interrupt the High Priest's action, could they possibly be trying to save this ant's life?!
The High Priest rarely takes action; nothing can withstand the High Priest's pressure.
But this ant is simply too arrogant, having killed Gong Gaoyi, yet now claims to hunt down the High Priest.
If we don't act to curb this ant, who knows how brazen he might become.
Yet at this moment.
Someone dares to meddle?!
They're asking for death!
Due to the man's and woman's silhouette against the light, the crowd couldn't see their features and naturally didn't know who had arrived, thinking they were here to rescue Lin Fan.
As the two approached, the crowd finally realized, it's actually Zhu Ruoling and Lan Zhengqing!
"Isn't this the Water Clan's Young Master, Lan Zhengqing?! Why is he here?!"
"I've heard he's a standout among the younger generation, having dominated the talent show and won first place!"
"The talent show gathers all the young talents from the Five Elements Realm; whoever can win is a prodigy of the future!"
"It's said that the High Priest also claimed first place in the talent show in his youth?"
"Indeed! It's said that edition was the most frightening in history, because many died at the High Priest's hand..."
"Then this Lan Zhengqing is extraordinary... But how is he with Miss Zhu... could it be they are..."
"They're a perfect match, why are you so concerned?"
"If Miss Zhu and Young Master Lan could wed, wouldn't the Fire Clan and Water Clan defy the heavens?!"
Changwen Hall buzzed with whispers, people were extremely puzzled by Lan Zhengqing's presence in the Water Clan, and even more curious because he was with Zhu Ruoling, leading to rampant speculation and gossip.
Lan Zhengqing seemed indifferent, acting as if he hadn't heard. However, Zhu Ruoling's face turned red in an instant, glaring at those gossiping individuals with both anger and urgency.
However.
She was still delighted inside, associating with Lan Zhengqing was her greatest happiness.
Zhu Ruoling secretly snickered and stole a glance at Lan Zhengqing, only to find him cold as ice, expressionless, leaving her feeling somewhat disappointed.
Blockhead!
She cursed inwardly, pursing her lips and striding forward.
"Father! What's causing all this commotion?"
Upon seeing Changwen Hall full of people, all part of the Red Cloud Army, she exclaimed excitedly.
Zhu Sui frowned slightly, scolding sternly: "Ling'er! Mind your manners in Changwen Hall; be reserved as a lady, didn't you see the High Priest is here? Quick, greet him!"
Zhu Ruoling immediately lost her smile, pursing her lips in displeasure, and greeted Gong Wenyao. "Greetings, High Priest!"
"Clan Leader, Ling'er is grown now, with her own opinions, perhaps you shouldn't always command her around." Gong Wenyao said softly.
Though Gong Wenyao's comment was in favor of Zhu Ruoling, she didn't appreciate it, instead pouting dramatically, mimicking Gong Wenyao's tone and manner, appearing disdainful.
Zhu Sui glared daggers at Zhu Ruoling, suppressing her.
"Father, what's going on here? How come..."
While speaking, Zhu Ruoling glanced around the crowd and casually spotted Lin Fan.
"Ah?!"
She shrieked, pointing at Lin Fan, retreating two steps, with an expression of terror as if she had seen a ghost.
"Miss Zhu, greetings. Am I really that frightening? It's just a scratch, no need to react like I'm a specter." Lin Fan chuckled, surprised by Zhu Ruoling's strong response. "Is your expression from excitement seeing me, or is it joy?"
He wore a cheeky grin, teasing Zhu Ruoling flirtatiously.
Even in the Five Elements Realm, he couldn't shake his nature; when seeing a beauty, he couldn't resist bantering.
But he had principles, he wouldn't chase a beauty just because she's attractive, that would be ridiculous!
He merely saw Zhu Ruoling as innocent and lively and wanted to help her avoid being deceived by Lan Zhengqing, otherwise he wouldn't bother to intervene.
Flowers shouldn't be placed on cow dung!
This was Lin Fan's enduring belief.
Zhu Qilue had interacted with Lin Fan for some time and understood his character, knowing his words lacked malice but were simply his nature.
Others might not understand, especially Zhu Ruoling, who flushed with anger, feeling deeply insulted, trembling with rage.
"Scoundrel! What nonsense are you talking?! I'm not happy!"
"Not happy? Then I must be sad."
"Shameless rogue, don't speak to me!"
"But you spoke to me first, the moment you saw me."
"You...you...you...rascal!"
Zhu Ruoling was so furious she couldn't speak, her face flushed even more beautifully, resembling a ripe apple, tempting a bite.
She had no choice against Lin Fan's antics, resorted to cursing, yet Lin Fan was unfazed, unaffected.
Lin Fan remained cheekily grinning, making faces at Zhu Ruoling, provoking her almost to the brink, clenching her fists tightly, ready to charge.
"Ling'er, do you know this person?" Zhu Sui asked curiously, glancing between Lin Fan and Zhu Ruoling.
"Hmm!" Zhu Ruoling nodded fiercely, exclaiming angrily, "Encountered him on the way, he was with brother, badmouthing the Five Elements Realm, I couldn't stand it and fought with him."
She spoke, waving her fist indignantly at Lin Fan, appearing ready to fight.
Before she was confident Lin Fan was just an ant, easy to defeat, unexpectedly he'd survived.
Now, with everyone present, it was the perfect chance to humiliate Lin Fan, publicly execute him!
"You also fought him?!" Zhu Sui exclaimed.
"Also?" Zhu Ruoling blinked, finding it odd. Did this ant fight anyone else?
"You weren't injured, were you?" Zhu Sui inspected Zhu Ruoling anxiously, relaxing only upon seeing she was unharmed.
"Father! Am I that weak?! Facing an ant, why would I get hurt, are you underestimating me?!" Zhu Ruoling vented, incredulous she'd be inferior to an ant, even though Lin Fan's revealed cultivation was only Ninth Rank Saint Emperor.
Ridiculous!
In the Five Elements Realm, if one isn't at the Ninth Layer of the Path-breaking Realm, they can't claim to be anything!
This guy is merely a Ninth Rank Saint Emperor, far from the Path-breaking Realm!
Yet Father believed I'd lose or be harmed?
Unbelievable!
Zhu Ruoling pouted, stomping her feet angrily.
"Not underestimating you... just this guy..." Zhu Sui laughed awkwardly, then frowned at Lin Fan. "This guy isn't easy to deal with, you must..."
However.
Before finishing.
Zhu Ruoling turned into a phantom, moving swiftly like lightning, charging directly at Lin Fan!
"Ling'er, be careful!" Zhu Sui gasped, shouting anxiously.
This person from the Sumeru Continent is an ant, displaying cultivation only at the Ninth Rank Saint Emperor.
Yet.
He could withstand the High Priest's pressure, a significant feat!
Zhu Ruoling's rash action might lead to injury!
"Damn you, what did you do?! You made Father belittle me; today I'll humiliate you, crush you before everyone! Open your eyes, don't blink, because this guy will soon perish at my hands! I'll show you all, I, Zhu Ruoling, am no pushover!"
Zhu Ruoling shouted furiously.
One breath!
She arrived right in front of Lin Fan!
