Fantasy: I'm Really Not A Supreme Master!

He looked up, his eyes fixed on the small mountain village, his heart filled with unwavering resolve.

"I must take Senior Li as my master!"

Fire Spirit and the others immediately continued onward.

They landed in front of the small mountain village and entered it.

Once again stepping into the small mountain village, Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning both had complex expressions, feeling a surge of emotions in their hearts.

It turned out that the small mountain village they had entered and exited numerous times was actually so formidable.

To think that it had caused the Immortal King to desperately seek it for countless ages, leaving behind so many shadows!

Thinking that every step they took fell into a perfect game, their delicate bodies involuntarily began to tremble.

...

At this moment.

Inside the small courtyard.

Li Fan was drinking tea, feeling somewhat bored.

He had no idea how Fire Spirit and the others were faring.

He was quite confident in his own skills at chess; after all, it had been honed under the "torture" of the System.

"Qianning and the others have returned to report."

At this time, a knocking sound was heard.

Mu Qianning and the others had returned!

Li Fan immediately showed a hint of joy and said, "Come in."

Mu Qianning and Fire Spirit, along with the other two, finally pushed open the door and entered.

Seeing that they hadn't suffered any harm, Li Fan finally put his mind at ease and asked,

"Good to have you back. How did this chess battle turn out?"

Upon hearing this, Fire Spirit bowed deeply and said, Nôv(el)B\\jnn

21:10

"Thank you, Senior Li, for your guidance. Young Master Jiang Li defeated that Chen Xuanbei!"

"It's just a pity that Chen Xuanbei got away."

Li Fan felt somewhat gratified upon hearing this.

After all, he was on quite good terms with Fire Spirit and the others, and he couldn't bear to see them lose to the enemy.

"Reporting to Senior, in the end... Jiang Li evolved that killing formation!"

Jiang Li spoke with utmost respect!

Li Fan nodded and said,

"It's fine, let the evolution occur. The path of chess requires one to hold no desire for victory or defeat, yet one must also possess the ability to subdue the enemy."

"In short, 'the heart of a Bodhisattva with the hands of King Yama.'

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li pondered deeply, realizing that the senior was subtly giving him pointers once again!

He couldn't help himself and, with a thud, knelt on the ground, saying,

"Senior, my heart is utterly determined on the path of chess, my life's efforts are dedicated to it. Please take me as your disciple..."

"As long as I can serve by your side day and night, Jiang Li will have no regrets even in death!"

His earnestness reached an extreme!

Now, more than ever, he understood exactly what kind of existence stood before him!

Senior Li represented the summit, the ultimate pursuit of his life's path of chess!

Seeing this, Li Fan also smiled.

Jiang Li's talent for chess was, after all, barely acceptable.

And moreover, he was in need of disciples!

He immediately nodded and said,

"To meet is to be fated. Since your heart is steadfast in the path of chess, then I shall impart to you the path of chess!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li became overwhelmingly excited, overjoyed beyond measure!

The senior… had agreed to his request!

Wonderful, wonderful!

He couldn't help but tremble with elation as he kowtowed to Li Fan, saying,

"Thank you... Master, thank you, Master!!"

And seeing this, Nan Feng and the others also smiled.

They now had another junior brother.

The number of disciples under their master was indeed getting livelier.

At that moment, Wu Dade, who had come with Jiang Li and the others, was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly, he also knelt down on the ground!

"Uh... Senior, I, I also wish to take you as my master, please accept me!"

He pleaded!

Even though his cultivation level was truly low and he couldn't perceive the depth of this place, nor could he feel the terror of Li Fan, he understood that this was someone utterly invincible.

To think that with just a casual game of chess, Jiang Li was able to defeat Chen Xuanbei – it was unimaginable!

Not even in the Chess Immortal Sect could one find such a massive thigh to hold onto!

So, he quickly clung onto it for dear life!

Hearing this, Li Fan was puzzled and asked,

"Oh? You are also fond of the path of chess?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Dade's face showed a bit of embarrassment as he said,

"To report to Senior... I, I don't know how to play chess..."

"I can only raise animals, like pigs, dogs..."

Fearing that the senior would not accept him, and seeing the white cat in Li Fan's arms, he hurriedly added,

"I can also raise cats! Senior, I can certainly fatten up this cat for you!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaoqing in Li Fan's arms was dumbfounded on the spot.

Raise, raise cats?

Plump and healthy?

Meow... please don't!

She desperately rubbed her head against Li Fan and licked his palm with her pink little tongue, blinking her eyes pitifully as she looked at him.

Li Fan chuckled.

"No need to be afraid, no need to be afraid."

He pet Xiao Bai's head while pondering.

In fact, the System had given him quite a few animals to raise before.

He had raised some, like Earth Chickens, goldfish, etc.—these were mainly tasks given by the System that had to be completed.

But there were other animals rewarded by the System that weren't mandatory to raise, which he always felt he had no time to care for, so he pretended not to see them, keeping them stored inside the System.

For instance, there were a few good-looking golden birds, pretty butterflies, and some odd ones, like silkworm babies!

Pigs... now, he didn't have any of those, but he did indeed have a dog!

A Little Black Dog!

Jiang Li was also nervously watching Li Fan, thinking to himself that things had gone awry; the master must be angry!

He couldn't help but clench his teeth and say,

"Master... Junior Brother Wu Dade left the Sect Gate for my sake, he didn't mean any offense to Master. Please allow him to stay in the village, even if as a beggar..."

Even at the risk of angering Master, he couldn't ignore Wu Dade.

After all, Wu Dade had saved his life before.

Upon hearing this, Li Fan merely smiled and responded,

"Where is there any offense... As the old saying goes, 'Teach without discriminating,' no matter what the interest may be, be it raising pigs or dogs or calligraphy and painting, there's no distinction of high or low."

"As it happens, I do have a little dog that has been left without care. So, you stay and raise the dog for me!"

Anyway, first things first: complete the System's tasks!

Just get the requisite number of people for now!

Mainly because it's just too difficult for oneself to take disciples in a world of cultivators, where anyone with a bit of ambition goes off to pursue immortality.

Those willing to come to this remote mountainous area to become my disciples are truly few and far between!

And those who are available, like Lu Rang and Long Zixuan, have rather special hobbies!

This Wu Dade, he also has a unique interest!

Upon hearing this, Wu Dade immediately kowtowed in rapid succession,

"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master!"

He was wildly ecstatic!

Jiang Li, upon hearing this, was also overjoyed; he had not at all expected the master to agree!

That's great!

"Thank you, Master!"

They all spoke up one after another.

Li Fan smiled and said,

"No need for such formalities, get up now."

"Da De, just wait for a moment. I'll go get that dog for you."

He stood up and returned to the study.

After all, his disciples were mortals, and he didn't want to spook them by bringing out a dog in front of everyone.

With a mere thought, a little black dog appeared at his feet, coming forth from the System.

Around the neck of the Little Dog, there was even a chain.

"Wuu wuu~~~"

As soon as the Little Dog appeared, it immediately lay down by Li Fan's feet, licked his shoes with its tongue, and wagged its tail nonstop, showing its devotion and loyalty!

"Follow me."

Li Fan smiled and led the Little Dog out of the study.

"Da De, come over. From now on, you will be raising this dog for me!"

Upon hearing this, all the disciples in the courtyard turned to look.

But when they saw the Little Black Dog... everyone was instantly shocked!
