Chapter 766: A wave of disciples
There was only silence that followed after Hei Gui said this.
Both Huang Xie and Xiao Ming looked like they didn't know what to say. They looked like they didn't even understand what he had just said to them.
But Lin Fan stood on the side with a smile on his face.
It wasn't as if he was blind and couldn't see the relationship that was building between his two disciples.
He had stayed out of the way since the Love Sect promoted free love.
If something happened between the two of them, that was their business and not his.
However, if there was someone else who was going to peek their nose in their business and involve him, it wasn't as if he would deny this opportunity. If he was given the opportunity to be nosy and meddle, then he would take that opportunity.
Still for now, it was better to observe the reaction of the two of them.
It would be more fun that way.
After a long moment of silence, Xiao Ming suddenly came forward with one fist raised.
With a single jump, that fist that she had raised went for Hei Gui's head.
Of course, Hei Gui was just a soul that didn't have a form, so it wasn't as if she could make contact with his head in the first place. So the fist that she threw at his head just passed right through him and Xiao Ming landed on the ground on the other side of Hei Gui.
He turned around and looked at her with a smile, but Xiao Ming didn't stop as she kept punching him even though none of her punches worked.
All of her punches went right through Hei Gui's soul form.
It wasn't as if Xiao Ming was a muscle brain in the first place, so it wasn't as if she would do something like this regularly. It was just that she was completely taken by her embarrassment and she couldn't control herself.
So she did this thing that might seem like something that an idiot would do.
That was just how embarrassed she was by this question.
In the end, it was Huang Xie who went forward to stop her. However, since the reason she felt embarrassed was related to him, it didn't help at all when he tried to stop her.
Rather, it just made things worse as Xiao Ming suddenly grabbed Huang Xie and threw him over her shoulder.
There was enough power behind this throw that the faint green light appeared around Huang Xie.
There was a bitter smile that appeared on Huang Xie's face when he saw this, but he didn't say anything as he knew why Xiao Ming did this. There was even a faint smile that appeared on his face when he saw her like this.
It was as if he even felt that she was cute even though she was acting like a female gorilla.
Finally, Lin Fan said, "Alright, let's stop playing around. He was just teasing you."
It was only when Lin Fan spoke that Xiao Ming finally settled down.
This was the sway that he had over her as her master, but it wasn't as if it was more than that.
Neither Lin Fan or Xiao Ming saw each other as more than that.
So there was nothing for Huang Xie to worry about, but…
After Xiao Ming settled down, she glared at Hei Gui and said, "Please don't speak nonsense in the future."
There was a disappointed look on Huang Xie's face when she said this, but he didn't say anything in the end.
After all, saying something might just make things worse.
Hei Gui gave a nod with a smile before saying, "Who knows what might change in the future."
Xiao Ming looked like she wanted to punch him again, but she settled down when she saw the way that Lin Fan looked at her. So all she did was glare at Huang Xie to show her displeasure before turning to leave.
Once she left, Huang Xie complained to Hei Gui, "Grandpa, please stop. You're not helping at all…"
Hei Gui just said with a smile, "At least you're not hiding your feelings, that's a first step."
Huang Xie's head came down, but he didn't say anything to refute this.
Rather, the look on his face made it clear what he was thinking.
Hei Gui gave a sigh and said, "I wonder when I'll be able to see your children and hold them in my arms."
Huang Xie's face turned even more red when he heard this before also turning to leave.
Hei Gui wasn't pulled along since he was just a soul fragment in the first place. He could leave the necklace at will, it was just that he chose to stay with Huang Xie most of the time.
But this time…
Hei Gui floated over to Lin Fan's side and leaned in to ask, "As their master, don't you think that you should give them a push?"
Lin Fan just gave a simple shrug as he said, "It's their lives, I won't interfere in matters like that. Our Love Sect promotes free love after all, so they are free to choose who they want to be with."
Then in a softer voice that was a bit colder, he added, "Of course, if there was someone who tried to force them to be together…"
His voice trailed off, but the meaning behind his words were clear.
Hei Gui wasn't scared at all as he just gave a simple shrug and said, "What's the fun in that? It's more fun if you just let them find their own way."
A smile reappeared on Lin Fan's face as he said, "So you do get it."
Then without waiting for Hei Gui's response, he just turned around to leave as well.
Hei Gui just floated there for a few seconds with a smile on his face before disappearing without a trace.
When Lin Fan came out, he found that there was someone waiting for him.
It was Mu Bao Bao who had snuck away from her ministers and generals.
When Lin Fan saw her, he couldn't help being surprised since unless there was a good reason, Mu Bao Bao usually wouldn't sneak off like this.
Seeing him come out, she waved her hand at him with a smile.
Seeing this smile, Lin Fan felt a bit more relieved.
After all, if it wasn't a good piece of news, it wasn't as if she would be smiling like this.
Still, he was curious why Mu Bao Bao came looking for him.
"The disciples from the various parts of the empire have arrived." Mu Bao Bao said with a wide smile.
"Bring me to them."
He didn't even need her to tell him what she meant by this as he immediately understood what she meant.
That was because this was something that he had been waiting a long time for as well.
These were the disciples that had been promised to the Love Sect and had been in transit the whole time.
These were the disciples that Lin Fan needed to finish the main mission.
Once these disciples joined the Love Sect, then that would fulfill the last conditions.
After all, these were disciples that had been recruited for the Love Sect by the Mu Empire.
There was no way that they would give them a bunch of talentless people.
Mu Bao Bao would never allow something like this.
So all of these people had to be at least in the Qi Gathering Realm.
That was all that Lin Fan needed from them.
When they arrived at the Love Sect, Lin Fan immediately revealed a smile as he saw the wave of disciples that were there. All of them had spiritual energy fluctuations coming from them showing that they were at least in the Qi Gathering Realm.
At the same time, Lin Fan could see his mission completion status going up with each wave being received by the elders.
It was only a matter of time before his main mission was complete.
One thing that he noted out of the corner of his eyes was that there was someone else who he was familiar with among the disciples. This was someone that his two disciples were also familiar with.
It was Yu Huang who had surprisingly joined the Love Sect as well.
Whether that was because he was chasing after Xiao Ming or Huang Xie or if he was actually here to join the Love Sect to grow stronger, it was hard to tell.
But one thing was clear.
He was here and he was willing to join the Love Sect.
Since that was the case, then there was no turning him down.
As long as he was willing to join, that was all that Lin Fan cared about.
Seeing the number of disciples climb in the main mission status, Lin Fan felt more and more excited.
Mu Bao Bao just stood behind him without saying a thing.
There was a happy smile on her face seeing how excited Lin Fan was, even though she really didn't understand why he was looking so excited in the first place.
It was a large number of Qi Gathering Realm and Foundation Realm disciples, but eventually it reached the goal and the main mission was complete.
Lin Fan was filled with excitement when he received the system notification that he had completed the main mission.
Without any hesitation, he checked to see what the reward was.
"What is this?"
