Looking back, it was sheer agony.
The house did indeed have good sound insulation, yet my hearing exceeded that of ordinary people.
Others indulged in comfort inside, while I knelt by the doorway, writing a self-critique...
A full thirty-thousand-word self-critique, along with other content, was truly an experience filled with snot and tears.
After a whole night of torture, I've even forgotten how many tis I was determined to bash my head against the wall to end the inhumane tornt from Xu Fan.
"Grandpa, I did everything you asked of , please let off..."
With a mournful face and begging eyes, he looked over to Xu Fan, fearful that the tornt would continue. If that were to happen, he truly might rather be dead.
"You might not believe it, but last night your grandpa was also inside, teaching soone a lesson on howork. She wasn't behaving, so I rely punished her," Xu Fan coolly spun a blatant lie, then whistled. Suddenly, a green figure shot out from the other's mouth.
"Thank... Thank you, Grandpa, for sparing my life!"
Having barely escaped from Ghost Gate Pass, the other party's face was filled with panic as he hurriedly started kowtowing.
In his heart, he secretly thought that once he had recovered and returned to the Heavenly Witch Sect, he would definitely bring more people to avenge this humiliation!
When that ti ca, he would respond in kind, repaying tenfold!
"Hmm, good grandson, I've noticed that your handwriting is quite unique," Xu Fan remarked casually, as he calculated his plans for revenge, startling the other party, who imdiately turned pale.
"What... What do you an..."
Fearing the worst, the other swallowed nervously, looking at Xu Fan with dread.
Xu Fan, patting the stack of notebooks in hand, squinted and smiled, "Your grandpa here can read ten lines at a glance. Just now, I took a look at your self-critique, and well, the verbal execution was indeed satisfying."
"What do you think the consequences would be if your comrades saw these writings?"
"You!"
Before he could even start on his near-perfect revenge plan, Xu Fan had already slapped him back to reality, his face cycling between shades of pale and red.
"Oh dear, I'm just speaking off the cuff, don't be scared like that."
Hearing Xu Fan's words, the other couldn't muster a smile anymore.
He knew all too well what the consequences would be if the matters he had leaked beca known to the upper echelons of the Heavenly Witch Sect.
They wouldn't be any more rciful than Xu Fan!
"Hehe..."
Xu Fan now looked down at the other's ashen face and said, "Alright, no more beating around the bush."
"There are three paths before you now, first, return to your Heavenly Witch Sect and get killed by them, second, get killed by right now, and as for the third, live on as a cowardly turncoat."
"Life or death, it's up to you to choose."
Xu Fan stared at the other party, considering the fellow's potential utility against the Ke Family in the future, waiting for him to speak.
"I..."
Choosing between life or death wasn't so simple. Standing at the crossroads of his fate, his face was especially hesitant.
How could the people of the Heavenly Witch Sect believe that he left behind such content only for a self-critique?
It seed he had no way out.
After hesitating for a long ti, he finally lifted his head.
"If I work for you... will you betray ?"
Xu Fan glanced at him and laughed, "You can rest assured on that front, I, Xu Fan, always keep my word."
"After this is done, you can go wherever you want, and I certainly won't stop you."
Decisions made at this mont could an life or death, so the other party dared not act rashly.
They looked at Xu Fan for quite so ti before finally nodding.
"Okay, then I'll trust you this once."
"Now tell , what do you want to do?"
With the information he now had, Xu Fan would find it a great help in his plan to destroy the Heavenly Witch Sect. Looking at the other person, he said, "What I want you to do is quite simple."
"After you leave here, first heal your injuries. Then, act as if nothing had happened in Jinling and head to Shanghai to find Ana Dan…"
Xu Fan explained his plan in detail to the other person. When he finished, he said, "As for what cos afterward, when the ti is right, I will notify you. Understand?"
"I understand."
Xu Fan made things very clear, and the other party nodded in agreent.
After seeing the other person off, Xu Fan then got up and went downstairs.
He drove quickly and soon arrived at the Lingyan Pavilion Clubhouse.
All necessary preparations had been made, and it was almost ti to set off for Shanghai.
After a brief wait at the Lingyan Pavilion Clubhouse, Xiao Lan arrived with a group of people.
"Xu Fan, when you get to Shanghai, call this number. By then, soone from the school will et you."
"Also, here are the keys to the accommodation I've prepared for you; make sure to take them."
Xiao Lan tried her best to arrange everything she could for Xu Fan.
Xu Fan's trip to Shanghai was without her company, as she needed to help out with the Lingyan Pavilion in his absence.
"Alright, Lan Jie, you're almost like a mother hen now."
Hearing Xiao Lan's ticulous instructions, Xu Fan said with a touch of amused exasperation.
But he was still touched deep down.
Looking at her, he said, "Lan Jie, rember to let know about that matter when the ti cos."
"Hmm, don't worry, I'll definitely inform you," she said.
Xiao Lan didn't expect Xu Fan to still be concerned about the task she had asked him to take care of last ti, so she nodded and agreed right away.
"Alright, enough talk. I'm going to get ready to leave now."
"Zhou Zhanlong, Hu Busan, Su Shouzi, He Si, if there's any activity in Shanghai, I will imdiately notify you. Then, you'll join . Understand?"
A mass move by the Lingyan Pavilion would attract too much attention, which Xu Fan wanted to avoid to prevent alerting the enemy prematurely.
The situation in Shanghai was intricate; a single move could affect everything. If the forces there were to unite, the people of the Lingyan Pavilion might be overwheld.
"Okay, master, rest assured, we will follow your orders at any ti."
Once all instructions were given, the group escorted Xu Fan to the airport.
It wasn't long before the boarding area announced the flight from Jinling to Shanghai.
"Okay, you should all head back now."
At that point, Xu Fan stood up, bid farewell to everyone, and headed toward the gate.
He followed the flow of passengers, boarded the plane, and sat in first class. It wouldn't be long before takeoff.
Just before the plane took off, Xu Fan took out his phone and sent Xia Yanyu a ssage.
"I'm on the plane now. I'll take good care of Xiaodie. Take care of yourself, understand?"
