263: Ying Huanhuan's changes, picking up leaks in the treasure hunting area! [Seeking follow-up reading]

In the somewhat silent Treasure Hunting Zone, Lin Fan's clear voice spread out.

Then, many people stared at his outstretched hand towards Ling Qingzhu, momentarily stunned.

Does this guy not know who is standing in front of him?

That is one of the most dazzling individuals among the younger generation of the Eastern Xuan Region.

How many Sect Geniuses and Prodigies have fought with reddened eyes and thick necks just to win a smile from her, but to this day, no one has been able to get close to her.

And now, this guy actually stretched out his hand like this. Isn't that too bold?

Of course, it wasn't just them; even Wang Yan, Ying Xiaoxiao, and others were taken aback by Lin Fan's actions.

If someone ignored him in front of so many people, wouldn't he lose a lot of face?

However, Lin Fan completely ignored the strange gazes around him, merely gazing quietly at the beautiful woman in front of him, who was even colder than she was five years ago.

Ling Qingzhu's clear eyes also fixed on Lin Fan. That young face no longer had the naivete of the past, and when his bright eyes looked at her, it was an equal gaze.

Ling Qingzhu's eyelashes fluttered slightly. In her opinion, for Lin Fan to reach this seemingly ordinary step, he must have paid an unimaginable price over the past five years.

"Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, Ling Qingzhu."

Her lake-like eyes finally rippled subtly at this moment. Then, Ling Qingzhu, under the astonished gazes of everyone, extended her slender, fair hand and lightly clasped Lin Fan's hand.

Cool as jade, it was like a precious ornament.

The touch was icy smooth like jade, a coolness that seemed to permeate his very bones.

At this moment, the sky was high and the clouds were wide, and the sunlight poured down like a pillar of light, enveloping the two of them. That scene was slightly dazzling.

However, their lightly clasped hands did not stay together for long. The next moment, both of them simultaneously withdrew their hands.

At this point, the familiar voice of the System once again echoed in Lin Fan's mind.

【Ding! You touched Ling Qingzhu and received one Divine Infant Pill!】

Lin Fan temporarily did not check the effects of the Divine Infant Pill. As he withdrew his hand, he could feel the surrounding gazes instantly become scorching, as if they wanted to pierce him through and through.

"Congratulations, you seem to have accomplished what you said back then."

Ling Qingzhu withdrew her jade hand into her sleeve, her palm curled and slightly damp. Then she looked at the young man in front of her and said softly, "I misjudged you."

Lin Fan smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I won't say that in public for now."

"If you say it, you probably won't even be able to participate in the Sect Tournament."

Ling Qingzhu said indifferently, but the ripple that flashed in her clear eyes slightly exposed a hint of unease in her heart.

Others were puzzled by their conversation, but the two of them knew exactly what they meant.

If Lin Fan were to say those words here, what a terrifying sensation it would cause.

By then, not only would the younger generation of various Sects come looking for Lin Fan, but even the Palace Master of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace would likely come knocking very soon.

"Perform well in the Sect Tournament. The Yuan Gate is not easy to deal with."

Ling Qingzhu was clearly unaccustomed to chatting with a man for too long in front of so many people. Therefore, after saying a few soft words, she turned and left.

"I will find an opportunity to say those words," Lin Fan suddenly said, watching Ling Qingzhu's retreating figure.

"Then you should first make sure you have the strength to keep your life after saying it."

Ling Qingzhu's figure paused, then her jade feet lightly tapped, and she immediately transformed into a rainbow light, quickly moving away.

As Ling Qingzhu departed, the gazes in this area immediately converged on Lin Fan.

Although many people were puzzled by their earlier conversation, from the looks of it, Lin Fan and Ling Qingzhu had clearly met before, and it didn't seem like a casual encounter. There was something going on between them.

"He actually knows Ling Qingzhu?" Even Wang Yan couldn't help but murmur in surprise.

Ying Xiaoxiao gave Lin Fan's back a peculiar look, then turned her head, somewhat worriedly, towards the girl beside her who had suddenly become a little quiet.

"Are you alright?" Ying Xiaoxiao sighed softly in her heart. In front of a woman as excellent in all aspects as Ling Qingzhu, many women would probably feel a little defeated.

Under Ying Xiaoxiao's gaze, the girl shook her head gently. She looked up, her large eyes gazing at the spot where Ling Qingzhu's figure had disappeared, then turned her head and said to Ying Xiaoxiao, "I will be even better than her."

Ying Xiaoxiao was startled. She looked at the girl's bright, pretty face at this moment. In her eyes, an ice-blue color seemed to surge up bit by bit.

In that instant, Ying Xiaoxiao felt a little dazed. The girl in front of her seemed as if she would truly transform one day, and at that time, her radiance would probably be even more dazzling than Ling Qingzhu's... "Big sister believes in you."

Ying Xiaoxiao patted the girl's head and chuckled.

Ying Huanhuan smiled sweetly, the ice-blue color in her large eyes quietly fading. However, even she herself didn't notice that in the depths of her pupils, blackness began to slowly merge with the ice-blue.

After watching Ling Qingzhu leave, Lin Fan reined in his emotions and once again glanced at the light barrier where the gray-robed middle-aged man had been.

His gaze shifted, and Lin Fan saw a dim light cluster in the corner of that light barrier.

Within the light cluster, there was a dilapidated, dark red bronze furnace, about the size of a palm.

Lin Fan's eyes flickered slightly. He stepped forward, grabbed the bronze furnace in his hand, and then looked at the gray-robed middle-aged man, smiling, "How much does this cost?"

The middle-aged man on the bluestone was clearly startled by Lin Fan's question. He then glanced at the dark red bronze furnace in the latter's hand and said with a faint smile, "Oh? Why are you interested in it?"

"It looks pleasing to the eye," Lin Fan said with a faint smile.

Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, the middle-aged man's eyes narrowed slightly, and then his gaze sharpened as he looked at the dark red, dilapidated bronze furnace again.

After a long while, he slowly withdrew his gaze, his eyes hesitant for a moment, then he said, "Ten million nirvana pills."

As soon as he said this, the Dao Sect disciples behind Lin Fan burst into an uproar, then stared at the former with slight anger.

This guy was really asking for an exorbitant price.

"Here you go," Lin Fan didn't bother to say anything more and directly took out a cosmos sack, handing it to the middle-aged man.

"Thanks," the middle-aged man took the cosmos sack, glanced at it, and after confirming it was correct, he said with a smile.

"Let's go too," Lin Fan put away the bronze furnace, then smiled at Ying Huanhuan and the others.

After speaking, he took the lead and turned to leave.

Behind him, the Dao Sect disciples also swarmed to follow.

Ying Huanhuan looked at Lin Fan's retreating back, gently biting her lip with her silver teeth. A hint of resentment seemed to flash in her large eyes, and then she followed along, pulled by Ying Xiaoxiao.

When Lin Fan and the large group returned to their resting place, they immediately saw Qi Lei, Chen Zhen, and the other four Palace Master standing there with serious expressions.

Behind them, there were also many Dao Sect disciples.

And when they saw Lin Fan and the others return, they all clearly breathed a sigh of relief.

Qi Lei first seriously inquired about the incident, and then burst into hearty laughter, clearly very happy about Lin Fan's crushing of Lei Qian. After giving everyone a few instructions, he dismissed them.

Lin Fan returned to his dwelling, directly burned the bronze furnace, extracted the dark red light Card hidden within it, and also memorized the map of the Burning Sky Ancient Treasury.

The Dao Sect side was overjoyed, while at the Yuan Gate's resting place, the Yuan Gate members all looked grim, and an intense killing intent arose towards the Dao Sect disciples, especially towards Lin Fan.
