Chapter 255 Teachings
After all, she had the right to be angry with him if she wanted to because he always threw everything at her. So her asking for his help was completely justified and it was what he owed her.
There was no resistance at all to helping her since her work helped develop the dungeon town which was one of the main missions that he had to complete.
He was certain that if it wasn\'t for Yue Lan doing all that she did to expand this dungeon town, it would be impossible for him to finish this quest. So if there was anything that she needed help with, he would immediately drop everything to help her.
Not to mention that there was no time limit on this side mission like there was with the main mission.
So he could ignore this side mission for a bit and focus on the main mission for now. Rather, it should be what he focused on because the time on the main mission was slowly ticking away and he was nowhere near finishing them yet.
Yue Lan saw this and gave a nod before leaving everything else that her subordinates brought back for Lin Fan.
She didn\'t say anything else because she had just seen the time and she was already late for her next meeting.
But of course, as she left, she didn\'t forget to add, "I\'ll see you tonight."
Lin Fan revealed a smile when he heard this.
When he wasn\'t in town, he had heard that Yue Lan and the other girls had all spent nights away from his manor because of the different work that they had to do. But once he came back, he found that no matter how busy they were, they always made it a priority to sleep at his manor.
Or to be precise, they always found an opportunity to sneak into his bed every night.
It didn\'t matter what they had to do, they would always drop it just so they could sleep with him every night.
He didn\'t mind this, but the looks from the men in town were something else…
If envy could kill, Lin Fan would have died countless times already.
But no one really acted on their envy since they knew that Lin Fan deserved what he had. They knew about all the things that he did because of Yue Lan\'s propaganda and they all just accepted it.
It also helped that Lin Fan was a friendly person and an easy to approach person, so most people that lived in the town had spoken to him and gotten to know him. As for the transient population, it was impossible for them to get that close to Lin Fan since they barely stayed in the town.
They just came for the dungeon and left as soon as they were done with their raids.
Lin Fan looked at the different items that Yue Lan had left behind for him, but after thinking about it, he didn\'t unseal them with the token. Instead, with a wave of his hand, he pulled them all into his Storage Ring.
The token had a limited amount of spiritual energy inside of it and if he were to waste it unsealing these tokens, he might ruin a chance for himself.
After all, it was very likely that the pillars would also need spiritual energy from the token to activate.
He would kick himself if he wasted this chance.
So he left this matter for now.
As for the ones that had already been sealed, there was no reason for him not to use them himself.
Once that was taken care of, he went back out to the kids who were running around on the practice field.
They had long gotten bored of waiting and had started playing a game of tag.
Xiao Ming who was supposed to be in charge of them had actually stopped watching over them and was currently running around with them.
She had a happy smile on her face as she ran around, chasing the kids since she was the one that was currently it.
Lin Fan wasn\'t disappointed when he saw this.
He had seen how responsible she was, but he also knew that she was still a kid. He didn\'t want her to grow up that fast and he wanted her to have an experience that a normal kid would have.
After all, this was his first disciple, which was also like his first child.
So he wanted her to grow up like a normal girl while learning to cultivate.
When he came out and the kids saw him, they all stopped running around. Xiao Ming was the last one to stop since she had been focused on chasing after her friends, but she also stopped when she saw that they all stopped running.
She asked, "What\'s wrong? Why did you stop…"
Her words suddenly cut off because she had turned in the direction that they were looking in and saw Lin Fan standing there with a smile on his face.
When she saw him standing there, she couldn\'t stop the blush from filling her face.
She was about to say something to explain herself, but as she opened her mouth, all she could stammer out was, "I, I, I…"
Lin Fan just shook his head with a smile before raising his hand to say, "There\'s no need to explain yourself. Kids should have fun like this."
Xiao Ming was glad that Lin Fan wasn\'t angry, but for some reason, she felt that it was wrong for Lin Fan to talk to her like this.
Well, it wasn\'t wrong…It was just that she found this a bit too hard to accept.
Still, it wasn\'t as if she could say anything else in this situation.
Lin Fan also didn\'t keep this matter going since it wasn\'t important.
Instead, he took out a token and waved for the kids to come over.
Having them line up, he started using the token to test them one by one.
As the tests started, he revealed a surprised and happy look at first. However, as the tests continued, he couldn\'t help revealing a more and more shocked look.
If it happened once, it was a coincidence, but if it happened multiple times, it couldn\'t be considered a coincidence.
The first kid was able to light up one segment of the token which wasn\'t that surprising since it was normal that a few of them would be able to pass the test. Then the second one was also able to light up one segment which surprised Lin Fan since he didn\'t expect to get two hits in a row like this.
However, it still wasn\'t enough for him to be shocked yet.
But that trend continued as more and more of them lit up segments of the token.
There were even a few that lit up two segments of the token.
As he went through them all, Lin Fan couldn\'t help being more and more shocked until he found that he was at the end of the line.
Every single one of them had the talent for cultivation!
Just how was this possible?
This was a group of orphans that he had found in a random city on the border and every single one of them had the talent to cultivate?
But the most shocking thing was that many of them had special symbols appear when they lit up the tokens.
This meant that they had special physiques like the disciples that the elders had taken!
Just what was with this group of kids?
Lin Fan finally turned to Xiao Ming who had been patiently waiting and raised the token for her as well.
She didn\'t need to take this test since she was already Lin Fan\'s disciple, but taking this would show everyone how special she was. That would help her cement her reputation as Lin Fan\'s disciple which was important for the future.
When she touched the token, all three segments suddenly lit up.
All three of these segments also had some special symbol on them.
However, Lin Fan wasn\'t surprised since he already knew this.
Since she had become his disciple, Lin Fan was able to see her status screen just like the girls that he had tamed. He had already seen that she had a special physique, spirit root, and comprehension, he just wanted everyone else to know it as well.
All the other kids were surprised when they saw this, but then they happily cheered her on.
After all, these kids had been together through the toughest parts of their lives, so the bond between them wasn\'t shallow.
Lin Fan gave a nod and waited for them to celebrate before bringing them back in line in front of him.
Since they were all capable of cultivating, Lin Fan would give them a lesson along with Xiao Ming.
He had already picked out Xiao Ming\'s method of cultivation, but for these kids, he wanted to give them a few words of guidance.
After all, these kids were important to Xiao Ming and Lin Fan didn\'t want them to suffer when they entered the sect.
Competition among disciples of the sect was very common and Lin Fan was certain that the Love Sect wouldn\'t be free of it.
So he would give them some advice so they could triumph over the others.
