Chapter 575 - Three Way Meeting (3)



Lin Fan naturally noticed this since as he walked by the Myriad Sword Hall group, he had also snuck a peek at them.

When the old man's sharp gaze turned to look at Lin Fan, he met Lin Fan's gaze which had been looking at them and Lin Fan quickly turned his eyes away.

He didn't want to cause any trouble, so he thought that avoiding eye contact would be the end of it, but he didn't know that he was wrong.

The old man paused for a second with a thoughtful look on his face before suddenly standing up and blocking Lin Fan's way.

The moment he stood up, everyone turned to look at the old man.

The Hunters Organization group had a worried look to them while the Ice Goddess Palace group looked like they were about to watch a good play.

Lin Fan tried to move out of the way, but the old man moved over to block him from going past him. This made it very clear that this old man was doing it on purpose.

Old man Qiao knitted his brows seeing this and he couldn't help saying, "Hey, One Sword, what are you planning on doing? An old man like you is deliberately causing trouble for a junior? Won't you be embarrassed if others heard about this?"

The old man who had been called One Sword ignored this and continued to look over Lin Fan.

Qiao Yi Fei and Mao Tao on the side as juniors clearly couldn't just cut in as they wanted, but they both had knitted brows as they watched this. Both of them had secretly put their hands on their weapons just in case something happened.

It was the same for the Myriad Sword Hall group. Since their elder had made a move, naturally they were on guard just in case something happened.

That was everyone except for Wang Jian who had a worried look on his face.

After a long moment of silence, the elder from the Myriad Sword Hall who had been called One Sword suddenly spoke.

He didn't reply to old man Qiao, but rather he spoke directly to Lin Fan and what he said was so shocking that everyone in the room had been caught off guard.

After looking at Lin Fan for a bit, One Sword finally said with a faint smile, "Not bad, not bad at all. Are you interested in following this old man and cultivating the sword?"

"Huh?!"

This was a collective exclamation of surprise and confusion that came from everyone in the room.

Not a single person had expected this to be the way that this situation developed based on the actions of this old man.

Lin Fan was in a daze for a bit before asking, "Elder, are you sure that you haven't made a mistake? I haven't ever cultivated in the way of the sword, I'm not sure that I'm as suited for it as you think."

One Sword gave a laugh and patted Lin Fan on the shoulder as he said, "Young man, you shouldn't doubt this old man's eyes. This old man has seen much more than you can even imagine."

Lin Fan didn't even have time to refute this as the two elders from the Hunters Organization finally reacted.

Old man Qiao came up and said, "Hey, One Sword, are you really trying to steal our people from right in front of us?"

President Mao added, "Even if we are old friends, you know you can't do something as shameless as this, right?"

One Sword once again ignored them as he looked right at Lin Fan, waiting for an answer.

He wasn't wrong about Lin Fan being suited for sword cultivation. The main reason why Lin Fan was suited for it wasn't because of his physique or his talent for cultivating, it was mainly because of his personality and aura.

One Sword could tell from Lin Fan's aura that he was someone who had a strong confidence and will, which was the most important thing when it came to cultivating the sword.

Sword cultivation was different from normal cultivation, it was all about having the will to persist the path of the sword, which would allow one to develop the Sword Will and subsequently, the Sword Heart.

So the most important thing to sword cultivators wasn't their physique or their cultivation talent, it was their personality.

This was why One Sword wanted Lin Fan that badly.

After a moment's pause, Lin Fan finally said, "I'm sorry, I don't think that I'm suited for sword cultivation still and I have no interest in cultivating the sword. Thank you for your offer, but I won't be taking it."

One Sword gave a sigh when he heard this and then he threw out a token for Lin Fan before turning back to sit down. As he sat down, he didn't forget to add, "If you ever change your mind, take that token to the Myriad Sword Hall."

Then it was as if he completely lost interest in Lin Fan as he closed his eyes again.

There was only silence that filled the room after that as everyone was stunned by his actions again.

After a minute of standing there in a daze, Lin Fan gave a slight bow to One Sword before heading over to where the Hunters Organization group was sitting.

The two elders from the Hunters Organization had been in a daze as well, but seeing Lin Fan come over, they revealed wide smiles.

It seemed like their investments hadn't been in vain, Lin Fan at least knew how to repay them for their sincerity and that was more than enough for them to start building a relationship.

The two of them looked at each other before turning to look at their grandchildren with a spark in their eyes.

As for how it would go in the future, that would all depend on their grandchildren…

Both Qiao Yi Fei and Mao Tao gave a sneeze at the same time.

After the sneeze, the two of them looked at each other like something strange had happened before turning to follow Lin Fan over.

Could it be that someone was talking smack about them behind their backs?

When Lin Fan came over and old man Qiao was about to welcome him, there was a voice that came from the Ice Goddess Palace group.

"Little friend, can I ask you for a favour?"

Everyone turned to look in the direction of this voice and they found that it was the older blue haired woman who said this.

Lin Fan raised a brow in surprise before asking, "Elder, please, what favour do you need?"

The blue haired woman raised a hand to gesture to Bing Yu sitting beside her and asked, "I'm curious how talented you are if even One Sword is willing to take you as his disciple. I was wondering if you could spar with our Xiao Yu here?"

Old man Qiao and president Mao immediately knitted their brows the moment they heard this.

Not only the Myriad Sword Hall, even the Ice Goddess Palace was causing trouble.

Were they both looking down on their Hunters Organization?

This was supposed to be a discussion to see if there was any chance to cooperate against the Thunder Sect, but now it seemed like they were both here to target the Hunters Organization.

One tried to poach Lin Fan and the other was now trying to fight him with hidden motives, they clearly were trying to slap the Hunters Organization's face.

Old man Qiao was the one who spoke again as he asked with a slightly dark look on his face, "Bing Lan, what is the meaning of this?"

The older blue haired woman who had been called Bing Lan looked at old man Qiao with a smile and said, "Old Qiao, I'm just curious as to how talented our little friend here is. Could it be that your Hunters Organization has so little confidence in our little friend?"

There was a clear taunting tone in her voice even though it sounded very natural.

Old man Qiao and president Mao both had dark looks on their faces.

Old man Qiao was about to say something in response to this, but Lin Fan suddenly said, "Elder, it's not a problem for us to spar, but I just wonder if miss Yu would be willing to do so?"

He didn't have a special tone to his voice, but the meaning behind his words were clear. Or at least they were clear for Bing Yu alone.

He was clearly referring to how she had been thrown out of his store previously, a fact that Bing Yu had hidden in her report to Bing Lan and had suppressed on the city forums so that no one outside of those who had witnessed it knew about it.

When she heard this, there was a clear trace of anger that appeared in her eyes, but she didn't say anything in the end and just gave a snort.

Bing Lan didn't catch the underlying meaning in Lin Fan's words, so she just said with a smile, "It's just a friendly spar, what isn't there to be willing about?"

Bing Lan nodded at Bing Yu and said, "Xiao Yu, go ahead. This little friend is willing to spar with you, so there's no need to hold back. After all, he is talented enough to even catch the eyes of One Sword."

Bing Yu nodded before moving to the open space in the room beside the table. Once she was there, she turned back to look at Lin Fan with a provoking gaze.

Lin Fan turned to look at old man Qiao and president Mao who clearly had worried looks, but when they saw his confident look, those looks faded a bit.

Lin Fan gave a nod before heading over to where Bing Yu was standing.
