Chapter 233: A Sect Full of Love-brains
Xia Yanhuan paused. Only after watching Gu Fan walk away did she snort in irritation and jabbed at Xia Qianliu.
“Get up! Stop pretending to be dead. Acting so arrogant, now you’ve learned there’s always someone stronger, haven’t you?”
Xia Qianliu gazed at the sky, murmuring under his breath:
“You don’t understand. I didn’t lose to him—I lost to the left side!”
“The left side?” Xia Yanhuan looked a little worried. Was her foolish brother actually hit into mental disarray?
“That’s right. Gu Fan admitted it himself. In a direct clash, the left side is doomed to lose... next time I’ll try and seize the right side first...”
Xia Yanhuan nearly laughed from sheer exasperation. Her brother—he could be summed up in one phrase: a martial arts maniac.
Other than in combat, he truly was foolish to an unbearable degree.
Whatever Gu Fan said, he believed? “Left side is doomed to lose”? What kind of nonsense was that?
At this moment, the white-robed man who had been guarding the skies slowly descended.
“What’s wrong, Junior Sister Yanhuan? Is Junior Brother Qianliu alright?”
Seeing the man, Xia Yanhuan’s cheeks immediately turned crimson as she hurriedly said:
“It’s nothing, it’s nothing. Qianliu’s defeat is actually a good thing. Just now, thank you for defending the sect, Senior Brother.”
The man smiled and waved it off:
“It’s only right. Since you all call me Senior Brother, this is something I should do.”
“Not at all, the Senior Brother is truly too kind... not like my brute brother, who only knows how to fight and kill...”
As she spoke, Xia Yanhuan and the white-robed man walked farther and farther away, completely ignoring the blood-related brother still lying on the ground.
Left behind, Xia Qianliu curled his lips in disdain.
“Hmph... foolish woman. Just seeing Senior brother makes her go lovestruck...”
As he spoke, he couldn’t help but smile slightly and murmured:
“So strong, Gu Fan... just wait. I’ll personally rip you apart!”
After Gu Fan left that place, the first thing he did was return home and move with Ruo Xi into the cave residence at Changxing Peak. He simply couldn’t take it anymore.
Who would have thought this sect was full of love-brains? The batch who once worshipped the Holy Son would probably see the state of the Immortal Ai Sect and sigh that they were inferior.
However, after that fight with Xia Qianliu, things seemed to improve a lot.
Especially some of the male disciples. Though their eyes were filled with killing intent when they looked at Gu Fan, few actually dared to make a move.
Being able to defeat Xia Qianliu in a one-on-one battle of the same realm—this alone proved just how terrifying his strength was.
At the very least, he had the combat power of a True Disciple.
On the third day of Gu Fan’s peaceful cultivation, Xia Yanhuan came knocking again. But this time, she wasn’t alone.
At the entrance of the cave residence, Xia Yanhuan was pulling Nan Xuanrou as she said:
“Come on, my dear granny. Didn’t you say you could come check for yourself?”
“No... I meant to verify it some other time... no, I never said anything like what you’re saying, there’s nothing to verify!”
Nan Xuanrou’s face was flushed red as she struggled to explain.
Hearing this, Xia Yanhuan sneered coldly, letting go of her friend’s hand and folding her arms—an action that unintentionally made the peaks of her chest look even more majestic.
Nan Xuanrou glanced at her dearest confidante’s chest and felt a sudden pang in her heart. She could only avert her gaze.
“Hmph, still arguing? You say you’ve been unable to focus on your cultivation lately, always thinking about killing Gu Fan. I say you’ve fallen for him! You won’t admit it? Then let’s go test it out!”
“Now that we’re at the door, you’ve chickened out? Nan Xuanrou... don’t tell me you’re scared because you realized your heart’s been moved?”
Nan Xuanrou bit her lip, forcing a disgusted expression as she said:
“Impossible, Senior Sister Yanhuan... don’t disturb my Dao heart!”
“Hmph, your little thoughts don’t need me to disturb you. You already can’t focus during cultivation!”
“Spouting nonsense! I only feel humiliated, that’s all. Sooner or later, I’ll slay him to prove my Dao heart!”
“Yes, yes, I’ll be waiting for you to slay him. Can’t you be a little more honest, like me? See how my Senior Brother was moved by my sincerity?”
“Senior Sister Yanhuan, you must be joking. Senior Brother clearly said he couldn’t stand your persistent pestering...”
As she spoke, Xia Yanhuan flew into a rage out of embarrassment and dragged Nan Xuanrou straight toward Gu Fan’s cave residence.
Just then, Gu Fan had just finished his cultivation. With a thought of his divine sense, he immediately detected two figures tugging and pulling at each other outside the formation of the cave residence.
When he saw who it was, he rubbed his brow with a headache.
“Why is it these two again...”
Before he could react, Xia Yanhuan’s voice came from outside the cave residence:
“Junior Brother Gu Fan, I’ve come visiting with your Senior Sister Nan. Are you available to meet?”
Gu Fan had no choice but to smile and reply:
“Welcome, please come in, Senior Sisters!”
He opened the formation, and soon saw Xia Yanhuan dragging Nan Xuanrou as they walked quickly inside.
Gu Fan immediately greeted them with a smile:
“Senior Sister Xia, Senior Sister Nan.”
Xia Yanhuan glanced around the cave residence and said:
“Not bad. Don’t bother decorating too much—you’ll be moving soon anyway.”
“Moving?”
Xia Yanhuan made herself at home, sitting down and pouring a cup of water as she said:
“Didn’t you defeat my brother? Your strength clearly already qualifies as a True Disciple. Soon you’ll be relocated to the core area of Changxing Peak. When that time comes...”
“When that time comes, your Senior Sister Nan can give you a proper tour of Changxing Peak.”
As she spoke, she winked at Nan Xuanrou with a meaningful smile.
But just moments ago, Nan Xuanrou had blushed with nervousness outside the gate. Now, the moment she saw Gu Fan, her expression stiffened.
She looked coldly to the side without directly facing Gu Fan and said:
“I’ve been busy with cultivation recently. I’ll send someone over then.”
Xia Yanhuan was so angry she nearly ground her teeth. This wretched woman’s old habits were acting up again.
Saying one thing, meaning another, saving face, and refusing to be honest—all wrapped up in a single word: tsundere.
Clearly so nervous she couldn’t meet Gu Fan’s eyes, yet still putting on an air of arrogance.
“Oh? Didn’t I just hear you say you couldn’t calm down during cultivation? Why not stroll around with Junior Brother Gu to ease your mind—it might do you good.”
Xia Yanhuan’s sabotage left Nan Xuanrou flustered. She reflexively glanced at Gu Fan.
Gu Fan looked confused. Were these two sisters really picking his place to have a spat?
Seeing Nan Xuanrou looking his way, Gu Fan smiled and said:
“Feel free, Senior Sister. Cultivation comes first.”
“Oh come on, cultivation won’t miss a few moments. Your Senior Sister Nan’s been feeling blocked in her cultivation lately—take it as a way to relax. It’s settled. Tomorrow she’ll take you on a tour of Changxing Peak!”
Saying this, Xia Yanhuan turned to look at Nan Xuanrou. Seeing no objection, she knew she’d hit the mark.
Sure enough, Nan Xuanrou paused and gave a light cough:
“Very well. As a Senior Sister, I suppose this is indeed my duty.”
Now it was Gu Fan’s turn to be bewildered. Wait a minute, sister!
Weren’t you trying to kill me? I even gave you an excuse to refuse—why are you going along with it?
Last time, Xia Yanhuan said Nan Xuanrou had fallen for him. Gu Fan hadn’t believed it at the time, but now... could it actually be true?
Gu Fan fell into contemplation. Before coming to this Void Sacred Realm, he hadn’t exactly been surrounded by romance.
Why was it that in this world, women kept coming closer on their own?
He began examining himself, and finally reached a conclusion.
Being too outstanding... was a kind of sin!
But most critical of all—why did it feel like all the disciples in this Immortal Ai Sect were love-brained?
Xia Yanhuan being infatuated with Senior Brother had already been known through Mao Chang’s words. The male disciples all adored and admired Nan Xuanrou.
And now Xia Yanhuan was saying Nan Xuanrou had fallen for him. Didn’t this sect cultivate immortality?
