Chapter 523
“Senior Sister...” Li Fan looked at Senior Sister Zhao, whose expression was complex as she was about to be summoned alone by Sect Master Ji. He wanted to speak but stopped himself.
“Hm? What’s wrong, Junior Brother?” She glanced at Li Fan and said softly, “We’ve lived and died together for over a century. What is there that we cannot be honest about?”
“Nothing.” Li Fan smiled freely, “Go ahead, Senior Sister. Just remember, no matter what you do, I will support you.”
Senior Sister Zhao smiled and walked into the grand hall of the sect.
“Boom!”
The heavy doors slammed shut, and Li Fan watched her disappearing figure, a trace of emotion flickering in his eyes that was hard for others to notice.
Instead of waiting outside the hall as he was supposed to, Li Fan returned to the Penglai Peak where he and Senior Sister Zhao resided, gathering all valuable items from their cave dwelling.
Then, pretending to patrol, he made his way near the exit of the sect’s protective formation.
On the surface, he acted no differently from an ordinary disciple, but in truth, Li Fan had already prepared to flee at any moment.
