I Don’t Want To Defy The Heavens

Zhang Rong Ming’s departure made Giant Sword Sect lose interest in fighting for the Heaven Crystal Stone Mine. They had to return to inform the Sect Leader about what had just happened.

Liuying Sect Deputy Sect Leader thought about something.

As the higher ups of the sect, they knew about the border defence issue; after all, it was a really big thing. Maigu City was wiped out and numerous experts died, so naturally, it caused a huge commotion.

Based on what he knew, the experts over at Maigu City were top sect elders or top disciples.

Decades ago they weren’t able to be stopped by their sect and they headed to the border to defend against the Alliance.

They were chased out of their sects and deemed as traitors.

In their words, those sects were so strong, so why didn’t they go over to help? Instead, it didn’t make sense for mid tier sects like them to risk their lives.

….

“Senior, can I ask you, how do you cultivate?” Zhang Rong Ming hesitated little. He felt like it was not good to be so direct but he really wanted to know.

His heart was a little hesitant and filled with disbelief that someone so young could reach such a realm. It didn’t make sense.

Lin Fan held his hands behind his back and smiled, “I didn’t really cultivate much. It is just that I am more talented and more hardworking.”

Even he, himself, didn’t believe what he had just said.

But he had no choice. He couldn’t say that he had the small support system and that cultivation was like drinking water. He only needed to acquire some rage points and he could just randomly add them.

Zhang Rong Ming’s eyes opened wide and he immediately kept quiet and didn’t ask anymore. That reply was just too shallow and someone with a brain definitely wouldn’t believe it.

“Let’s rest here today.” Lin Fan didn’t care whether or not he believed him. No matter who asked him, he would give the same reply which would not change.

Talent plus hardwork; if such a reason wasn’t true, then nothing else in this world would be true.

He landed from the sky. Zhang Rong Ming took the initiative to find timber and Lin Fan basically didn’t need to do anything.

The fire rose up, chasing away the surrounding darkness and it brought them warmth at the same time.

Zhang Rong Ming captured a boar, he skinned it and started to barbecue it.

He didn’t regret leaving Giant Sword Sect and following Lin Fan to the border to defend. Even if he was a little afraid, he quickly tossed such thoughts aside.

“Senior, can you tell me about the situaiton there?” Zhang Rong Ming sat beside the fire and looked at the burning wood. He was really curious as this was the first time he had heard of the Alliance.

Lin Fan wanted to check his rage points, but when he heard Zhang Rong Ming’s question, his expression turned solemn, “If you didn’t witness the situation personally, you won’t be able to imagine it.”

He looked towards Zhang Rong Ming, “Do you know Maigu City?”

Zhang Rong Ming nodded his head, “I know, I heard people say that it is a poor city that is quite far away.”

“Poor, no. Actually, it is not poor. It is only poor to those who have no idea, but to me, that place is the richest. It is rich mentally and in will, and material objects cannot replace what they have.”

“Unfortunately, Maigu City had already disappeared. There were many experts in the city, but under the attacks of Alliance, all of them died.”

“I saw an Yin Yang Realm expert fighting one against three and after killing them, he faced someone even stronger. He didn’t fear anything and directly welcomed the enemy.

“I saw people badly injured with no strength to fight charging into the Alliance and exploding their own body so as to kill more Alliance members.”

Lin Fan looked at Zhang Rong Ming with a deep gaze.

All his words caused Zhang Rong Ming’s heart to shake and he felt a huge emotional impact. Those scenes that appeared in his mind caused his expression to turn serious, “I didn’t think that it would be so intense.”

“Right, it is indeed really intense, but no one regretted it. With their strength, if they were willing to join some strong power, they would easily accumulate riches and power, but they didn’t do that. They were willing to hide in silence and without fame in the border city for decades, waiting for the arrival of the Alliance.” Lin Fan said.

Anyone who clashed with Alliance knew that they weren’t simple.

Alliance didn’t lack experts.

With his current strength, it was pretty much impossible to crush the Alliance.

It was a good choice to become stronger and face the Alliance, but it would take too much time. And it was difficult to say what would happen during that period of time.

He hoped that in the battle with Alliance, he would be able to kill them and also increase his strength at the same time.

Zhang Rong Ming was really respectful to those experts at the border and those who were worthy.

He even had a feeling that fighting alongside them was something worthy of pride.

At that point, footsteps could be heard approaching.

“Someone is here.” Zhang Rong Ming tensed up, he placed his palm on the handle and looked into the distance. When one was out, one needed to be really careful.

Lin Fan didn’t worry too much and just took a slight look before losing interest. He saw how nervous Zhang Rong Ming was and said, “Don’t be too nervous, it is nothing.”

“Eh.” Zhang Rong Ming nodded and slowly relaxed, but this habitual sword wielding stance didn’t change.

Slowly, two people walked over from the distance. It was a little blurry, but it got clearer bit by bit. They were two tall and beautiful girls.

“It is so late at night. Why would girls appear here?” Lin Fan didn’t know but there were only a few reasons; they were either enemies or they were really strong. Decent girls definitely wouldn’t pass here.

Very quickly, the two girls saw the flames in the distance. They didn’t change their tracks and walked over instead.

“Hello young masters, my family passed this place and we hope to sleep over here.” The girl who spoke looked great and she was a real beauty, but she was dressed a little immature and young. Her tone was of someone who was easy to get close to, but at the same time, she felt like someone who would reject everyone, making one feel really conflicted.

Zhang Rong Ming looked at the two girls and was shocked. Especially because of the girl who didn’t speak; she was exquisite and cold, just standing there giving off a really strong aura.

It made Zhang Rong Ming fear looking straight into her eyes.

As the pride of Giant Sword Sect, he had a strong aura too, but today he actually had such a feeling. That was really unbelievable.

Zhang Rong Ming didn’t reply the girl and instead looked at Lin Fan. He waited for senior to speak first.

Lin Fan said, “Are you a good person or are you bad?”

“This young master, what is the meaning of your words?” The young girl asked, not understanding the reason why he asked that.

“Very simple, if you are bad, then I will beat you up, but if you are good, then you can sit down and we can have a slow chat.” Lin Fan was just so direct. If they didn’t understand his words, then he would be really disappointed.

It was obvious that Lin Fan’s words stunned the girl.

Especially that cold girl, although her expression didn’t change, her eyes gave off a weird glow.

Zhang Rong Ming was filled with respect. As expected from the senior; if senior wasn’t here, then he probably would have treated them really warmly.

In Lin Fan’s words, he would willingly be a lackey who had little to no self awareness.

Lin Fan picked up a scent from her body.

It was an abnormal scent. From her aura and actions, she gave off a signal that she wasn’t a normal person.

“Young master, my family are good people. Do we look like bad people?” The girl smiled and felt like this person was really interesting. She had never met someone like him.

“It is hard to say.” Lin Fan shook his head as no one knew the truth.

The girl smiled and took out a cloth to put over the ground for the little miss to sit. Then, she sat beside her. She sat slightly forwards as a protective measure. If there was any danger, she would be able to protect her right away.

Lin Fan raised his head and looked into the darkness.

He smiled in his heart.

As expected, Zhang Rong Ming couldn’t sense the situation around but he could. In the darkness, there was an expert paying attention to the situation.

Interesting.

But he didn’t expose her.

“Two young masters, little miss came from afar and passed by this place. If we do anything wrong please forgive us.”

“Young masters do not know our names, I am…”

Unfortunately, before she said her name, Lin Fan interrupted her.

Lin Fan waved his hand, “There is no need to say, I am not interested in your names. Moreover, I don’t think you will say your real name too, so why do you want me to remember two fake names.”

“When the sky brightens, we will go on our separate ways. There is no need to act like we are very close to one another.”

Zhang Rong Ming raised his thumb in respect.

As expected from senior.

Although his words didn’t give them face at all, they did make sense.

He knew that he couldn’t do that.

If he met these two beautiful girls outside, he would naturally care for them more and definitely wouldn’t be so cold towards them.

“Senior, the meat is ready.” Zhang Rong Ming took the wild boar meat down from the flame pile and placed it on leaves. He looked towards the girls. If senior wasn’t here, he probably would ask whether or not they wanted to eat some.

Lin Fan saw his gaze and sighed. Luckily, this kid was bold and was talented, but why did it seem like he had never seen women.

Teach, he had to teach him well.

“Eh.” Lin Fan grabbed the barbecued boar and took off the meat around the heart. The meat there was the best and in his last life it was hard to come by. After all, there was just a small piece and it was tough to buy it.

Fragrance entered his nose.

He didn’t think about sharing with the two girls. They came out of nowhere and their status was definitely not simple. They seemed ice cold and blocked off everyone from them, so he didn’t need to suck up to them.

His words were really direct.

But that was the case and there was nothing wrong with that.

The youthful girl thought to herself, “This guy has no style at all. Isn’t he going to ask them whether or not they wanted to eat?”

That cold girl didn’t react much.

Her bright eyes would occasionally look towards Lin Fan.

This person wasn’t simple.
