Lin Fan’s face broke into a faint smile.
Because.
Everything unfolded as he expected.
He had already seen through it, that Qiu Xi’s true nature wasn’t bad, there was even a bit of kindness in her.
The reason she turned into this murderous, ruthless, and vicious state was all for survival. This wasn’t her true self, but her hardened disguise.
It was this disguise that protected her, allowing her to survive in this world where the weak are prey to the strong, preserving her life.
To her, apart from life, nothing else mattered.
Because she never truly had any of it.
Life was the only thing that belonged to her; everything else was elusive.
At tis.
Even life seed elusive.
Walking down the road, being randomly chosen by soone from the five major clans could easily lead to losing one’s life.
Like a grain of sand falling into the desert, silent and traceless.
Death, to her, was sothing that could happen at any mont, but it was also the only thing she could control.
Watching the won hurriedly rush out of the cellar, Lin Fan let out a long breath, finally relaxing his anxious heart.
"Lin Fan, this ti you are entirely drawn into this matter." Emperor Jade erged once more, speaking earnestly.
"Emperor Jade, can you explain what exactly this matter is? Leaving things half-said is very unsatisfying." Lin Fan responded irritably.
"It’s about the exiled people."
"So what? Are the exiled people not human?"
"Yes, they are not."
"..."
"In the eyes of others in the Five Elents Realm, the exiled people have never been regarded as human, but as beasts."
Emperor Jade spoke earnestly, not sounding like a joke.
Lin Fan raised an eyebrow, sneering; the situation indeed appeared serious, otherwise Emperor Jade wouldn’t speak to him in such a solemn tone. But so what? The situation had already occurred, he could not simply watch a group of people perish, nor could he watch a beauty like Qiu Xi have innocent blood stain her hands.
"Alright, alright, I got it, don’t say those things to . Just tell directly, what consequences will there be?" Lin Fan waved his hand, unwilling to delve into the details with Emperor Jade. He only wanted to know the severe consequences Emperor Jade spoke of, and how serious they were.
Emperor Jade paused, his face visibly becoming more solemn, cold eyes rising slowly, gloomy and chilling.
"To be enemies with the entire Five Elents Realm."
Silence.
A deathly silence.
Lin Fan didn’t know what to say for a mont, these consequences were indeed extrely severe, quite severe!
However.
This outco was within his expectations, not beyond his imagination.
Moreover.
To be enemies with the entire Five Elents Realm, he already considered this possibility when he helped Zhu Qilue, and had ntally prepared himself.
So when Emperor Jade spoke, the solemn expression on his face flashed by.
Then he laughed.
"Hahaha! Is this it? Just being enemies with the entire Five Elents Realm? I thought there would be serious consequences, but it’s just this. Then there’s no need to worry, I’ve long been prepared; being enemies just ans being enemies, more or less, what is the Five Elents Realm?!"
"You... you truly are reckless."
Emperor Jade looked at Lin Fan’s calm, easygoing deanor, speechless for a mont, rely sarcastically comnting.
Lin Fan shrugged and laughed.
He was born to ddle, unaware of heaven and earth, otherwise he wouldn’t have co to the Five Elents Realm to interfere with these matters!
Since he encountered it, there’s no reason not to get involved.
He must find out why the exiled people were looked down upon, must fight for their dignity!
No matter who the opponent is, he must let them know.
Everyone is born equal!
"After all, because of Zhu Family, I’ve already offended the Fire Clan, and now because of Lan Zhengqing, I’m afraid I’ve offended the entire Water Clan as well. Two of the five major clans have already been offended, the other three will surely bring trouble too, so opposing the entire Five Elents Realm is already a certainty, I can’t escape."
"Since I can’t escape, why should I continue to flee? Why not face them head-on and seek justice!"
Lin Fan spoke righteously, without a smile, stern and serious.
Emperor Jade was stunned, completely stunned!
Powerless to resist, she then laughed; indeed, this was Lin Fan’s style, if he didn’t act this way, it wouldn’t be like Lin Fan, she herself might find it strange.
The Lin Fan she knew was fearless, ever ready to fight injustice.
Always optimistic!
No matter the opponent, he never lost heart, feared, or felt panicked! Always smiling, always confident!
Call it blind confidence or real ability.
But this is the real Lin Fan!
"Alright, there’s really no stopping you. I’ll collect data on the exiled people and report to you imdiately, who made you my master?" Emperor Jade pouted, spoke proudly.
"Thank you very much!" Lin Fan replied with a smile.
Emperor Jade waved her hand, showing a dismissive expression, but Lin Fan could see she wore a smile at the corner of her mouth.
The divine sense cut off.
"Just like this... they’re gone?"
Qiu Xi spoke abruptly, watching the backs of the departing won. It seed she hadn’t expected herself to do this, under Lin Fan’s sweet talk, she violated Lan Zhengqing’s order and let these won go.
But she didn’t know why, she felt lighthearted, unprecedentedly relaxed.
The heavy stone on her heart shattered, her whole body felt light, and her mouth couldn’t help but lift into a smile.
"Gone, those nagging won, noisy and annoying. If they aren’t made to suffer, they’ll think they can prattle mindlessly about anything, truly botherso."
"Did you really want them to stay here?"
Lin Fan walked to Qiu Xi’s side, hands in pockets, smiling.
Qiu Xi felt Lin Fan’s warmth, shivered, hurriedly stepped aside a fist’s distance.
"No... I don’t want..."
"Then that’s right! Letting them go is the best solution, maybe it’ll even make your Zhengqing brother change his heart and notice you again."
Qiu Xi was stunned, her pupils dilated, looking at Lin Fan with shock.
Buzz——
A blank mind.
"You... what did you say? How..."
"All the information is written on your face, who wouldn’t notice." Lin Fan said jokingly, pointing at Qiu Xi’s slightly pale face.
"You’re kidding! I..." Qiu Xi denied verbally, but held her cheeks, blushing.
"Now Lan Zhengqing has already gone crazy, while I don’t know what he’s planning, I feel he is doing sothing earth-shattering, don’t you feel that?" Lin Fan spoke casually, as if chatting with Qiu Xi, never regarding her as an exile or Lan Zhengqing’s subordinate.
But he knew, Qiu Xi was Lan Zhengqing’s right-hand!
"These people going out, revealing the secrets here, might lead to Lan Zhengqing’s disgrace, and when he’s all defeated, if you co to comfort him, maybe things will work out."
Lin Fan waggishly expressed, raising an eyebrow. He even started advising Qiu Xi on how to attract Lan Zhengqing’s attention, really leaving one unsure of his intentions!
Qiu Xi stared at Lin Fan unblinkingly, face twitching, suddenly becoming alert, emphatically questioning.
"Who exactly are you?!"
