"Oh my, it's so mysterious!"

Tan Jingwen felt itchy with curiosity, quite unwilling to let it go.

This must be the secret art of the Bright True Master. If only she could pry some information from Lin Yifan's lips, that would be great; because then she could earn some credit in front of her Master.

"Now that the matter is resolved, let's go back to meet up with An Qi and Fangfang." Lin Yifan suggested, wanting to end the conversation as soon as possible.

Surprisingly, neither Du Yuze nor Tan Jingwen objected, seemingly indicating that Tan Jingwen wasn't interested in him, just playing around.

With this behavior, Du Yuze felt relieved; if the woman he fancied went with his boss, it would break his heart.

Du Yuze and Tan Jingwen were able to arrive in time all thanks to Lin Yifan. It was Lin Yifan who gave them the Instant Teleport Charms so they could quickly catch up with Xiang Yang and Dai Xiao.

Now as they returned along the way, it took them some time.

Even though they didn't have the Instant Teleport Charm, they could still quickly get back to the Forbidden Land House.

At this time, An Qi and Fangfang were still in the Forbidden Land House; because they knew that only by staying where they were could those who loved them find them quickly.

"Qiqi! Fangfang! I'm back!"

Lin Yifan shouted loudly, like a happy bird, rushing over to embrace the two women.

Seeing Lin Yifan return, An Qi and Fangfang, with their anxious hearts, finally relaxed. Immediately, they too, like Lin Yifan, dashed over, throwing themselves into his arms.

It took just a few seconds for the three of them to reunite, and the beautiful scene unfolded before Du Yuze and Tan Jingwen's eyes.

At this point, Tan Jingwen couldn't help but ask, "Is he considered a playboy?"

"Well... I don't think so." Du Yuze hesitated, not knowing if this was a trap.

"Then you must be a playboy."

"Miss Tan, how could you judge my character based on analogy?"

"Because I think he is a playboy. A faithful man wouldn't have multiple lovers, and if you agree with his views on love, you're a playboy too."

"But I'm actually not a playboy with multiple partners. How can you judge my character based on one answer?"

"Are you sure you're not?"

"I'm sure!"

"Then what will you do if I catch you being unfaithful in the future?"

"You can punish me as you wish."

"Alright! You said it, if I find out you're a playboy, I'll definitely finish you off."

Having finished their conversation, the others remained immersed in their affection, seemingly unaffected by Tan Jingwen's perspective.

After a long time, the three reluctantly separated.

It was then that An Qi and Fangfang composed themselves and asked, "Did those two people die?"

"They're both dead."

"Who killed them?"

"It was your man, of course."

"Did you kill both Divine Transformation Fifth Realm Peak experts?"

An Qi's face was full of disbelief, unable to accept it as true.

"If I couldn't even handle two weakened Divine Transformation Fifth Realm Peak experts, I wouldn't be fit to mix in here." Lin Yifan explained a very crucial reason.

"That's true, but still, I'm impressed by your strength."

An Qi genuinely admired him. She always thought she was strong, unrivaled at the same realm, until she met Lin Yifan and realized there are always stronger people out there.

"Keep at it, I believe you can be even stronger than me."

Lin Yifan patted An Qi's shoulder, encouraging her.

"It seems difficult. I find it harder and harder to advance now."

Speaking of this, An Qi frowned and worried. Because she felt there was a force restraining her rapid growth. Her Master said it's the Power of the Great Dao, no one can overcome it, and it can only be slowly approached.

"Don't be discouraged, there's no rush."

Lin Yifan comforted and encouraged her.

He knew what bottleneck An Qi faced, but this was something he also couldn't help with, unless he gave her the Enlightenment Tree.

But at present, An Qi didn't have the means to suppress the Enlightenment Tree, so it was best not to give it to her yet.

"Okay!" An Qi nodded in response, knowing that being anxious wouldn't help and it was better to relax and enjoy life.

"Yifan, where should we go next?" Fangfang asked.

"Let's first leave the Great Dark Forest and then go to various places in search of treasures." Lin Yifan replied.

There was nothing worth searching in the Forbidden Land House; the valuable treasures had all been taken by him, so they had no choice but to leave.

"Alright! There's no time to lose, let's set off immediately!"

The five of them agreed unanimously and took off, flying toward a nearby town out of the Great Dark Forest.

In this battle, Cinnabar Palace also suffered heavy casualties. In short, all the Cinnabar Palace disciples that Tan Jingwen brought were killed by people from the Nine Great Sects. This was why Tan Jingwen had an unshakable determination to kill Dai Xiao and Xiang Yang.

After they left, spirit beasts gradually appeared around the Forbidden Land House.

After sensing that the black giant crow was dead, these spirit beasts freely devoured the corpses on the ground.

They had reservations because they knew this was the territory of the black giant crow.

All the spirit beasts in the Great Dark Forest were aware of how terrifying the black giant crow was; hence upon smelling the scent of blood earlier, they only dared to hover outside, not daring to step into the area.

The disciples of the Nine Great Sects besieged Lin Yifan, not only failing to kill him but also ending up being devoured by spirit beasts, leaving no intact corpse.

On the other hand, with nothing else to do, Lin Yifan curiously asked while flying, "Qiqi, how did you know we were here?"

An Qi's appearance had always been a mystery to him. He couldn't imagine how she ended up in the Forbidden Land House to rescue him, so he really wanted to understand the reason behind it.

"While searching for treasures in a small town, we came across some records of a Moon Worship Sect Elder, indicating that there was such a forbidden area in the northwest, so we came to try our luck and see if we could find that elder's treasure." An Qi answered truthfully.

"You can understand ancient texts too?"

Lin Yifan was quite surprised because modern cultivators generally found it difficult to understand ancient texts; those who could were usually old monsters. An Qi being so young, and having only been in the cultivation world for a little over a year with no significant experiences, how did she manage to understand ancient texts?

"Just a little, not very clearly. The ancient texts I know were learned from the 'Ice Jade Sword Technique,' which is a super martial art recorded in ancient texts. The meaning of those texts was understood due to generations of Emei Sect Leaders passing it down, which is why we have some understanding of it."

"I see!"

Lin Yifan suddenly realized, finally understanding how An Qi could read ancient texts.
