Chapter 1178: Getting bored of them
“How did you do that?” Ye Qing Huan couldn’t help asking Lin Fan this question once she saw the people from the four righteous sects leading the spirit beasts away.
The way that she looked at him was as if she was genuinely confused by what she saw.
After all, even Ye Qing Huan hadn’t been able to find Lin Fan when he suddenly disappeared like that.
The only thing that she had been able to see was the Divine Stand Lotus disappearing from under the noses of the people from the four righteous sects.
While they had been fighting each other, they just didn’t notice a single thing as the Divine Stand Lotus disappearing.
The one other thing that Ye Qing Huan had noticed was how there were cases where the people from the four righteous sects were about to fight each other. These were cases that they had mistaken as sabotage from each other, but really it was Lin Fan that had caused all of this.
How Lin Fan did all this without being noticed…that was something that Ye Qing Huan really wanted to know.
But in the end, Lin Fan just shook his head with a smile without actually saying anything.
It was clear that he wasn’t going to tell Ye Qing Huan what she wanted to know.
When she saw him like this, she couldn’t help glaring at him as if she was angry at him.
Only Lin Fan knew that she wasn’t actually angry with him.
Even if he were to do something much worse than him, it would be hard for him to make her actually angry with him.
This was what he had learned from his time with Ye Qing Huan.
Though he could tell that she was unhappy that he wouldn’t tell her what she wanted to know.
For now, he preferred to keep this a secret since it was related to something that he wanted to keep secret. Or at least this was something that he wanted to keep secret from the people that didn’t know about Rokuko.
Though he was getting closer to Ye Qing Huan, Lin Fan still hadn’t told her about Rokuko and the dungeons.
If he were to explain it now and how he had gotten this ability from Weiss, then there really would be too many things that he would have to explain to Ye Qing Huan.
They simply didn’t have the time for that.
At the same time, Lin Fan didn’t think that he was close enough to Ye Qing Huan to actually tell her this. Especially with her position in the Heavenly Demon Sect…
Though he was now the disciple of two of them Eight Kings, that didn’t mean that he fully trusted the Heavenly Demon Sect.
In the end, a sect was a place that was made up of different people and different people had different motives. It was hard for a sect to be completely united and for them to all stand for a single thing.
That was why Lin Fan didn’t fully trust the Heavenly Demon Sect.
After he finished putting the Divine Stand Lotus away, Lin Fan said, “Should we move to the next one?”
Ye Qing Huan still looked at him with pouted lips as if she wasn’t happy that he was dodging the question, but she didn’t force an answer out of him in the end.
Ye Qing Huan knew that if Lin Fan was keeping it a secret, then he had a reason for doing so.
So with a nod, she said, “Alright, follow me to the next thing.”
Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao just followed behind Ye Qing Huan without a single word.
…
“This is too easy. I’m getting bored of messing with them.” Ye Qing Huan suddenly said while they were heading to their next destination.
Mu Bao Bao revealed a faint smile when she heard this.
The look in her eyes showed that she seemed to agree with Ye Qing Huan.
After all, what they had been doing so far was just like taking candy from a baby.
After taking the Divine Stand Lotus, they followed the righteous sect members to different special items that were in these ruins. These were special items that they had been told to gather, which was why they knew where to go.
But it wasn’t as if they were the only ones that knew where these special items were.
The Five Great Sects had shared these ruins for a long time, so Ye Qing Huan also had that same information. She also had information on some things that the four righteous sects didn’t know about.
That was just the difference between the Heavenly Demon Sect and the four righteous sects.
So they were actually able to reach the next item before the four righteous sects were able to. But at the same time, it wasn’t the four righteous sects that came to the next item.
Rather, it was just one of the groups that came to the next item.
It seemed that they had all separated after what happened with the Divine Stand Lotus and had headed off to gather different items.
They knew that there was nothing to gain from competing with each other any longer since they hadn’t gained anything. So there was a tacit understanding between them to have different targets.
While they would be losing out on some things like this, they would at least be able to obtain something that they could bring back with them.
It was a compromise by the four righteous sects since they knew that they couldn’t overpower one another.
But what they didn’t expect was…
“Who is it?”
This time, Lin Fan didn’t hide himself like he did previously. This time, he made his presence known even though they still couldn’t see him.
So this group that was trying to gather the item had no choice but to stop since they were on guard against this invisible person. The only thing that they could do was slowly move towards the item in the center as they paid attention to their surroundings.
They didn’t seem to want to let a single thing get past them, but they just weren’t able to find a single thing.
While they were moving slowly, they kept getting harassed by attacks that came from all around them. It really didn’t seem like there was anything that they could do against these attacks that seemed to be appearing out of thin air.
They did their best, but really the only thing that they could do was just guard against these attacks. They couldn’t even fire a single attack back at whoever it was that was attacking them from the shadows.
“Isn’t this a bit too cowardly acting like this? You should come out and fight us if you dare!”
Of course Lin Fan wouldn’t fall for such childish taunts.
Instead, there was a laugh that seemed to be mocking them that came from all around them. It was as if the owner of the voice was all around them with the way that this voice echoed out.
It made it impossible for them to figure out just where this person was.
So in the end, they couldn’t do anything as he swiped the item from under their noses.
This didn’t just happen with one of the groups from the four righteous sects.
This happened with all of the groups.
None of them were able to see through Lin Fan’s stealth technique, so there was nothing that they could do as he snuck around them and took the items that they were after.
That was why Ye Qing Huan was calling this boring.
When it was such a one sided matter, it really wasn’t interesting at all.
Even Lin Fan couldn’t help being surprised by how easily he was able to steal these items from the people of the four righteous sects. It really seemed like they couldn’t do a single thing against him…
Lin Fan really couldn’t help being confused since these were supposed to be disciples from the Five Great Sects.
They shouldn’t be weak enough that he would be able to run circles around them this easily.
Ye QIng Huan said, “These are the junior core disciples, they aren’t anywhere on the same level as the real core disciples of the Five Great Sects. They are the ones that might have a chance to become real core disciples of the Five Great Sects one day, but they’re still far from that.”
Lin Fan couldn’t help revealing a bitter smile when he heard this.
Since they were treated as the reserves, then didn’t that mean the same thing for him since he had been sent to these ruins with him?
At the same time, Lin Fan couldn’t help feeling surprised that Ye Qing Huan was also included in this categorization. After all, he thought that Ye Qing Huan had a much higher status in the Heavenly Demon Sect than this.
In the end, Ye Qing Huan seemed like she completely lost interest in the four righteous sects.
Instead, it seemed like she thought of something with the expression that appeared on her face.
After thinking about it for a bit, she suddenly asked, “Since there’s no point in playing around with them, do you want to do something much more exciting?”
Lin Fan couldn’t help raising a brow when he heard this.
At the same time, there was a bad feeling that filled him since he knew that nothing that Ye QIng Huan thought was exciting would be that simple.
But in the end, he wanted to know what it was since it was a bit boring messing with the people from the four righteous sects.
