Chapter 796: Chapter 796
Countless gazes suddenly fell upon Sikong Xuan, filled with surprise, envy, confusion, disbelief...
And a strong, resounding shock!
Especially that call of "Xuan'er"!
It made countless women green with envy to the point of death!
"Damn! Xuan'er... Could the rumors be true? It is said that Sikong Xuan has a fiancé who is an Inner Sect Disciple, but she has always kept a low profile in the external part of Fuyao Palace. Even if she is wronged, she would just grit her teeth and swallow her grievances. She doesn't act like someone who has support from the Inner Sect at all. I almost thought the rumors were false, but turns out they're true! But... her fiancé, it's actually Brother Li!" Wang Meng found it hard to accept.
Aside from his own fiancée, how could Li Dunyi possibly call Sikong Xuan "Xuan'er"?
"What... she is the fiancée of an Inner Sect Disciple..."
Wang Chen's face turned deathly pale, and his body shuddered violently.
He had just sent a teasing voice transmission to Sikong Xuan, and also address her as "Xuan'er"!
If Sikong Xuan tells Li Dunyi about what he did, wouldn't that be...
Thinking of this, Wang Chen felt as if he had fallen into a cave of ice, his whole body drenched in cold sweat in an instant.
"What's wrong with you?" Wang Meng asked with a puzzled look.
"No... nothing!" Wang Chen quickly shook his head, how could he dare to tell his sister that he had just sent a flirtatious voice transmission to Sikong Xuan?
Wang Meng did not ask any more questions.
She thought that Wang Chen was intimidated because he had taken a liking to Sikong Xuan and just found out that she had such a powerful fiancé.
Much to their surprise, Li Dunyi truly was Sikong Xuan's fiancé.
Li Dunyi and Sikong Xuan both came from obscure small families, and their families had been friends for generations; they were betrothed to each other since childhood. After Li Dunyi was born, he displayed incredible Cultivation Talent, overshadowing Sikong Xuan, who was also gifted but not to the extent of Li Dunyi.
Both joined Fuyao Palace, and due to Li Dunyi's heaven-defying talent, he was directly admitted into the Inner Sect!
On the other hand, Sikong Xuan remained in the external part of Fuyao Palace.
Because Sikong Xuan had a strong character and didn't want to accept Li Dunyi's help, and when she encountered troubles in the external section, she never used Li Dunyi as a shield to protect herself. Consequently, not many people in the external part were aware that Li Dunyi was Sikong Xuan's fiancé.
As time passed, no one believed that Sikong Xuan had a fiancé from the Inner Sect anymore!
In front of tens of thousands of people, Li Dunyi actually called Sikong Xuan "Xuan'er"!
Just the address "Xuan'er" alone explained everything.
The entire platform was dead silent, eerily quiet.
"You can come, and I can't?" Sikong Xuan's voice was cold, echoing over the platform with a chilling overtone, seemingly unwilling to pay much attention to Li Dunyi.
"Heh, it's been such a long time, and you still don't talk to me. Do I really make you so repulsed?" Li Dunyi chuckled bitterly and shook his head.
His gaze fell upon Lin Fan, questioning, "Who is this? I've checked, you recommended him to join Fuyao Palace?"
"He's my friend," Sikong Xuan said.
"Friend? Since he is Xuan'er's friend, then he is my friend too! Xuan'er, no need to bother yourself with this, you can go back and rest. I will take care of him. As it happens, I have three people I'm recommending, their Cultivation is at the Ninth Rank Venerable Sage level, so it should be quite easy for them to join the external part of Fuyao Palace. Later, let Lin Fan follow them to Xian Kong Island. Just a casual stroll to clear his mind, and then he can come back out, that would be enough. After all, an Eighth Rank Ancient Saint like him won't be of much help anyway," Li Dunyi said with a smile.
After Li Dunyi finished speaking. For origınal chapters go to novelFɪre.net
The crowd on the platform erupted, and the gazes directed at Lin Fan were filled with endless envy and jealousy.
With just a few words from Li Dunyi, Lin Fan's admission into Fuyao Palace was almost certain.
Lin Fan was at the Realm of Eighth Rank Ancient Saint!
With such Cultivation, entering Xian Kong Island, he was absolutely expendable cannon fodder; where did he have the qualifications to join Fuyao Palace?
But with one sentence from Li Dunyi, Lin Fan's destiny was completely changed!
"This kid's luck is way too good!"
"Exactly! Comparing people can literally kill you with jealousy!"
"To join Fuyao Palace without any effort, I really wish I could join too!"
People on the platform were discussing.
Wang Chen's gaze was even fiery with jealousy. Although his strength was decent, and he was confident about entering Fuyao Palace, to be able to do so directly and with such ease was simply too comfortable!
A man standing behind Li Dunyi stepped out and reprimanded Lin Fan: "Kid, what are you still dazing for? Haven't you thanked Young Master Li yet?"
"I never agreed to him, to join you all in entering Xian Kong Island. Why should I thank him?" Lin Fan retorted!
The entire platform went silent!
Originally, hardly anyone paid attention to Lin Fan. Even when Li Dunyi had previously spoken, offering to help Lin Fan enter Fuyao Palace, most people only gave Lin Fan a fleeting glance without much focus.
It was just a kid at the Eighth Rank of Ancient Saint; who would care to pay him much attention?
But now, it was different!
Lin Fan actually refused Li Dunyi!
"This kid actually refused?"
"No way, really? Are my ears messed up?"
"Is he mad or stupid? To actually refuse, does this kid even have the qualifications to join Fuyao Palace? But with Li Dunyi's intervention, his entry to Fuyao Palace was almost certain... and yet, he refused?"
Everyone present couldn't believe their ears.
Has Lin Fan gone mad, become infatuated, stupid, or just dumb?
To actually refuse Li Dunyi!!!
Even Sikong Xuan was somewhat surprised and gave Lin Fan a curious look.
If Lin Fan had agreed to Li Dunyi, she wouldn't have been surprised, but his refusal somehow surprised her.
Yet on second thought, this was in line with Lin Fan's character, wasn't it? Proud and aloof, just like her, disdainful of others' charity.
It was for this very reason that Sikong Xuan did not publicize the fact in the external sector of Fuyao Palace that Li Dunyi was her fiancé.
She didn't fiancé, feeling nothing for him!
Li Dunyi spoke up, and the crowd on the platform that was still discussing abruptly closed their mouths upon hearing his voice.
Everyone was eagerly looking at Li Dunyi, waiting for his words.
"Truly interesting! Xuan'er, where did this man come from? To actually refuse me, this is the first time in many years someone has done so, and it's a bit unfamiliar!" Li Dunyi smiled, as if he didn't take it to heart.
He truly didn't take it to heart!
An Eighth Rank Ancient Saint probably had no clue what his own status meant.
In Li Dunyi's mind, Lin Fan was like an ant, would you get angry if refused by an ant?
Ignorance is the attitude one should have!
No one expected Lin Fan to laugh as well, saying: "First time being refused? Then you should really get used to it. After all, from the looks of Miss Xuan'er, you will probably be refused often in the future."
The entire platform went completely silent!
All those present, tens of thousands of eyes, suddenly widened to the extreme, their eyeballs nearly popping out in shock as they looked at Lin Fan.
Has this kid... gone crazy?
