Outsiders, implanting evil thoughts

The Saint Hall is located in the Central Immortal Domain, called ‘Central’ because it is at the very heart of the Immortal Realm.

The Central Immortal Domain is a place of spiritual essence and beauty; both the quality and density of its Immortal Qi are superior to other Immortal Domains.

Even the border regions of the Central Immortal Domain possess a denser and richer Immortal Qi than the core areas of most other Immortal Domains.

The reason is simple: the Central Immortal Domain is where the Saint Hall resides.

The Saint's Gate!

A Saint only needs to employ a slight method to extend his reach to all worlds and heavens, seizing Opportunities and Luck from other Immortal Domains to nourish himself.

Even if each of the Three Thousand Immortal Domains only contributes a tiny benefit, when combined, it forms an extremely vast gain.

Furthermore, the Saint Hall has established various Saint Academies in other Immortal Domains, ostensibly for preaching the Dao, but in reality, they take in the most outstanding Geniuses from each Immortal Domain.

This is another layer of invisible plunder, a struggle for Geniuses.

Geniuses represent Luck; by taking in Geniuses and enrolling them as Disciples in the Saint Academy, their Luck naturally belongs to the Saint Hall.

With the Saint Hall as its backing, the Saint Academy naturally gives the impression of being powerful, offering generous treatment, and having Elders with profound foundations; local forces in other Immortal Domains simply cannot compete with the Saint Academy.

They can only watch helplessly as the most outstanding group of Geniuses in their Immortal Domain pledge allegiance to the Saint Academy.

These most talented individuals then undergo another round of selection, ultimately gathering at the Saint Hall.

Over time, the Saint Hall became unstoppable.

Everyone else had to be suppressed.

The Tiandao Sect, backed by the Heavenly Dao and on good terms with the Saint Academy, possesses strength that cannot be underestimated.

It just has an unassuming reputation, but no one knows how truly powerful it is.

People only know that the Tiandao Sect is powerful but low-key.

Xiao Fan was also curious about how strong the Tiandao Sect was, so he followed along.

Lin Ningqin chatted happily with Xiao Fan, her voice as clear as a yellow oriole's song, her body as naturally formed as a jade maiden's; every frown and smile revealed a young girl's tenderness.

A faint, pure maidenly fragrance permeated the air, refreshing the heart, and her sweet, lovely face, reminiscent of jasmine, made Xiao Fan feel very comfortable; she was gentle and beautiful.

“Brother Xiao Fan, your Three Lights Divine Water is very powerful. My aunt and I both gained immense benefits from it. I feel the medicinal power hasn't been fully refined yet; otherwise, my strength would definitely advance another level.”

Xiao Fan said, “It's all the result of your hard work. External things are merely aids. If Sister Ningqin didn't cultivate diligently, what use would this Three Lights Divine Water be?”

Xiao Fan didn't claim the credit for himself.

He directly attributed the powerful reason to Lin Ningqin.

Lin Ningqin listened, beaming with joy. Brother Xiao Fan praised her.

He even called her Sister Ningqin. Would this be too intimate?

The two chatted merrily.

However, Lin Ningqin's constant 'Brother Xiao Fan' grated on Lin Yu's heart, making him wish he could separate the two.

Lin Yu tried several times to engage with them but was ignored by Xiao Fan and Ningqin.

An outsider!

Lin Yu was furious. Damn it! I only have this one younger sister; are you trying to take her away from me?!

Xiao Fan knew he was anxious, but he told himself not to rush.

Lin Ningqin was seen holding Xiao Fan's hand, and Xiao Fan gently smoothed Lin Ningqin's dark, silky hair, his face full of doting affection.

He even pinched her pretty face tenderly in front of Lin Yu.

Lin Ningqin merely gave him a glance, saying nothing, but a blush spread across her face.

Not only that, Xiao Fan also got along very well with Hua Yinyin; he spared no praise, commending Hua Yinyin's beauty as one that would make flowers blush and the moon hide.

He wasn't exaggerating, as Hua Yinyin indeed possessed such beauty.

He was a person who loved to speak the truth.

Hua Yinyin also treated him gently, displaying a rare tenderness.

That was a side Lin Yu had never seen.

Not only his younger sister, but his aunt had also been charmed away by him!

Lin Yu was so enraged his lungs were about to explode. If not for these two, he would truly become an orphan.

No, he had to think of a way.

At this moment, the two young girls who were leading Xiao Fan and Lin Yu also arrived at their destination.

The young girl said to Lin Yu, “Please follow me. My Young Miss has been waiting for a long time.”

Lin Yu nodded slightly and said, “Please wait a moment. I need to arrange some matters first.”

He felt Xiao Fan was dangerous and wanted to go back and caution Ningqin and his aunt.

But as soon as he turned around, he was stunned.

Lin Yu was dumbfounded, his mouth wide open, staring in disbelief at everything before him.

“Senior Lu Shui, your complexion is so good! One wouldn't know you're not in your prime; your temperament truly makes you look young.”

“Really? I feel like I'm getting old, even with age-defying techniques, I feel my mindset is a bit old.”

“Not at all! You exude a youthful charm at first glance. I even thought I'd encountered someone's young daughter.”

Lu Shui was somewhat embarrassed by Xiao Fan's words. This young man spoke so nicely, and he was handsome too.

Lin Yu was a bit dull, always getting into fights and trouble, never giving anyone peace of mind.

How wonderful it would be if Xiao Fan were the one she had to take care of.

Xiao Fan leveraged his talent for charming women, praising Lu Shui as a rare beauty, an peerless enchantress, making Lu Shui tremble with laughter and cast a charming glance at him.

Lin Yu's eyes were filled with disbelief. How long had it been?!

And he was already getting along with his Master's wife?

Xiao Fan smiled. Courting your younger sister and aunt right in front of you, and I'll chat with your Master's wife too. The main goal is to spread my favor evenly.

The four chatted merrily, and the original Lin Yu seemed to have become an outsider, unable to interject a single word.

Lin Yu forced himself to say, “Ningqin, Aunt, Master's wife, I'll step away for a moment. Don't wander off; wait for me to come back.”

The few of them glanced at him, merely nodding and saying:

“Don't worry about us; you go.”

Without any extra expression, they finished speaking and resumed their lively conversation with Xiao Fan.

Lin Yu's heart was utterly chaotic.

Damn it, I've become a substitute!

The two young girls who were receiving Lin Yu urged him:

“Young Master, our Young Miss has invited you.”

Lin Yu finally snapped out of it, forcing a smile and saying:

“Oh, alright.”

“Please lead the way.”

A smile hung on his face, but inwardly, he was already seething with rage. You just wait for me!

He looked back every three steps, only to see Xiao Fan holding Ningqin's hand, praising Hua Yinyin, and chatting casually with Master's wife Lu Shui.

The moment the door closed, he finally couldn't see them, and his heart felt a little calmer.

Xiao Fan constantly kept an eye on Lin Yu; everything he orchestrated had a purpose.

He had to make Lin Yu restless, constantly worrying about these three, which would make it easier for him to act.

The moment Lin Yu left, Xiao Fan's Divine Demon Body unleashed its power. Pure demonic thoughts accumulated within his body and spread downwards into the ground.

After advancing to Saint, his Divine Demon Body also underwent a transformation; his demonic physique had already become a Saint Demon.

This invisible demonic thought extended underground, and in just an instant, it plunged into Lin Yu's Heart Demon. A tiny, almost imperceptible purplish-black demonic seed invisibly rooted itself within his body.

It aimed to create a Heart Demon in him, causing him to lose all reputation in front of Lin Ningqin!

The moment the demonic thought was implanted, Lin Yu didn't even feel anything amiss. The disparity in cultivation was too vast; he had no possibility of resisting.

“Ningqin, we haven't seen each other in a long time. Let's go out for a walk together.”

“Mm.”

“Aunt Yinyin, you come along too. We're all family.”

Ningqin and Hua Yinyin's hearts were with Xiao Fan; as long as he spoke, they would agree.

Only Lu Shui remained, so Xiao Fan said, “Senior Lu Shui, you'll be quite bored staying alone. Why not join us?”

“But Lin Yu, he…”

“He's not a child anymore, and besides, this is the Tiandao Sect's territory; there won't be any danger,” Xiao Fan said.

Hua Yinyin spoke up in agreement with Xiao Fan, and Ningqin did likewise.

The two also persuaded her, saying it was a rare Opportunity to visit the Saint Hall; they couldn't just stay put without looking around, could they?

Xiao Fan timely displayed his generosity, saying he would take the ladies to buy clothes and Immortal Artifacts, and he would pay for everything, considering it a welcome gift for them.

No woman would refuse shopping for clothes. Xiao Fan was good at finding reasons.

The three women's eyes lit up.

Although Immortals have transcended the mundane and are no longer bound by worldly desires, people are judged by their clothes, and no woman would refuse beautiful attire.

Xiao Fan also had his selfish reasons: the better you dress, the more I like it, hehehehe…

Immediately, the group left together.

Before leaving, Xiao Fan gave a meaningful glance back at the Tiandao Sect's branch, seeing through the illusion. His hand, hidden beneath his sleeve, formed a hand seal and shot it towards Lin Yu.

The magical seal landed precisely on Lin Yu's chest. Subsequently, an eye grew from within the demonic thought, extending countless silken tentacles that spread throughout Lin Yu's limbs and bones.

At this moment, Lin Yu was like a Puppet; the demonic thought only needed to be triggered to seize control of his body.

The Eye of Demonic Thought slowly closed, but Xiao Fan's Heart Eye slowly opened.

The show begins.
