Chapter 408 – Elders gather together to go to Qingtian Lake

Liu Yanping?

Ye Qingyu?

Yang Yuqi?

Lin Feiyan?

How could I possibly have any improper relationships with them?

Li Xuerou? That's even more impossible, she's my sister!

But...

When I think about it, I do know quite a few women, and none of them are exactly unattractive.

Meng Fan glanced at Hong Qi and thought, if you include Hong Qi...

No, Hong Qi isn't a woman.

Wait, Hong Qi is about to become a woman!

Meng Fan shook his head, trying to clear away these messy thoughts.

They're all just ordinary friends!

And an ordinary sister!

It's Elder Lin who's being impure and disrespectful.

Suddenly, Meng Fan froze.

Wait, wasn't I just asking Elder Lin about the Heavenly Grade Sword Techniques of Shu Mountain?

How did I get so sidetracked?

Meng Fan sat on the bed, scratching his chin.

"Master, could it be that you did it on purpose? Using these women as an excuse to get rid of me?"

"No way, even though Master deceived me about the sword techniques, it was clearly because my cultivation level was too weak at the time, and it wouldn't have been good for me to learn such advanced techniques too early."

"Although Master deceived me before, he wouldn't be so cunning. I must be overthinking it."

Meng Fan was still unwilling to believe that the "simple" Elder Lin would have so many schemes.

Besides, in the Sword Wraith memories, Master always appeared as an honest person.

"I must be overthinking it. If Master really had such cunning, the woman he liked wouldn't have been taken by the Sect Master back then," Meng Fan thought confidently.

Back in his room, Meng Fan sat silently on the bed, cultivating without wasting any time, while also continuing to guard Hong Qi.

About an hour later, Elder Lin's voice echoed in Meng Fan's mind.

"Come over."

Just two simple words.

Meng Fan quickly left his room and headed towards the second floor of the Sword Pavilion.

Since Elder Lin had called for him, it was the perfect time to ask about the Heavenly Grade Sword Techniques of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

But when he reached the second floor, he found himself unable to ask, mainly because there was no opportunity.

Besides Elder Lin, there were two other people present whom Meng Fan didn't recognize.

One was a middle-aged man, and the other was an elderly woman who looked even older than Elder Lin.

Meng Fan had long since stopped judging people's ages by their appearances, so it was hard to tell who was older between the middle-aged man and the elderly woman.

"This is Elder Liu, and this is Elder Li," Elder Lin introduced to Meng Fan.

The middle-aged man was Elder Liu, and the elderly woman was Elder Li.

"Greetings, Elder Liu, Elder Li," Meng Fan quickly greeted the two elders.

It was rare for him to have the opportunity to meet the elders of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

Since Elder Lin had gone out of his way to introduce them, Meng Fan naturally had to seize the opportunity.

Before this, the only Shu Mountain elders Meng Fan knew were Yang Ling and Elder Wang.

No, Elder Wang had already been expelled from Shu Mountain.

So aside from Elder Lin, his master, there was only Elder Yang Ling, whose whereabouts were unknown.

Elder Liu and Elder Li both nodded at Meng Fan.

As Elder Lin's only direct disciple, they still held him in high regard.

Especially Elder Li, who gave Meng Fan a kind smile.

As for Elder Liu, he seemed difficult to get along with, always wearing a stern expression, extremely serious and proper.

"Disciple, recount the events involving Yang Ling and the Sect Master to Elder Liu and Elder Li," Elder Lin instructed Meng Fan.

Although Meng Fan had already explained it to him, it would be clearer if Meng Fan said it himself.

And it wasn't a troublesome task!

"Two elders, here's what happened..." Meng Fan briefly recounted the events that transpired at Qingtian Lake.

After he finished, Elder Lin waved his hand and said, "You can go back to your room now, there's nothing more for you here."

Although Meng Fan was curious to hear what decisions the high-ranking members of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect would make next, since Elder Lin had spoken, he could only leave obediently, not wanting to overstay his welcome.

Back in his room, Meng Fan put these matters out of his mind.

The issues between the Sect Master and Elder Yang Ling were no longer his concern; the rest was up to the elders of Shu Mountain.

Even if Meng Fan wanted to get involved, he didn't have the ability to do so.

In the room, Hong Qi was still struggling to merge with the Ginseng Fruit, a process that remained excruciatingly painful.

To be honest, hearing Hong Qi's cries of pain made Meng Fan's heart ache.

After all, since traveling to this world, Hong Qi had been by Meng Fan's side the longest and had helped him the most.

Well, that's not entirely fair; Elder Lin had also helped Meng Fan a lot.

But comparing Hong Qi to Elder Lin wasn't really fair; they were incomparable.

Before long, Meng Fan heard movement upstairs. Elder Liu, Elder Li, and Elder Lin all came down and stood at the entrance of the Sword Pavilion.

"Disciple," Elder Lin's voice echoed in Meng Fan's mind again.

Meng Fan responded immediately, quickly arriving at the entrance of the Sword Pavilion.

"Master, what are your orders?"

"Take us to Qingtian Lake."

Meng Fan glanced back at his room, feeling a bit hesitant.

Hong Qi was still in the midst of the most crucial phase of her transformation, and he felt uneasy leaving the Sword Pavilion at this time.

Elder Lin smiled and said, "Don't worry, your little sword spirit is very safe in the Sword Pavilion. Besides, you won't need to do much at Qingtian Lake, just lead the way and we'll bring you back."

Meng Fan nodded.

With Elder Lin's speed, a round trip to Qingtian Lake would only take a few minutes.

A flying boat appeared at the entrance of the Sword Pavilion.

As expected, Elder Lin had been bluffing before, claiming he had exhausted all his resources—clearly a lie.

The four of them boarded the flying boat, speeding off in the direction Meng Fan indicated.

Elder Lin's control of the flying boat was much faster than Yang Ling's, reaching speeds five to ten times faster! Of course, it still couldn't compare to the Sect Master.

Back then, just mentioning Qingtian Lake had the Sect Master teleporting there instantly.

Meng Fan didn't doubt that Elder Lin also had the ability to teleport.

But at least, Elder Lin wasn't omniscient like the Sect Master and still needed Meng Fan to lead the way to find Qingtian Lake.

In less than two minutes, they arrived at Lion Mountain Town, landing the flying boat by Qingtian Lake.

The lake was empty, with no sign of the Sect Master or Yang Ling.

But there was no doubt that the Sect Master and Yang Ling were still "under the lake" and hadn't returned.

"Elder Liu, Elder Li, I'll leave Qingtian Lake to you two. Remember, do not enter the lake, and if anything happens, notify Shu Mountain immediately," Elder Lin instructed the two elders.
