394: Chapter 394 Li Fan's Final Choice!
Hearing Li Fan's answer.
Peng Song, Golden Flash Bear, and the Wushan Seat Group Members behind them couldn't help but feel their hearts tighten.
Li Fan actually agreed?
Not just them.
Even Tai Fang himself was frowning at this moment.
The reason he had set this requirement was to make Li Fan back down, knowing the difficulty.
He acknowledged that Li Fan's talent and potential were quite remarkable.
But at present, it wasn't enough.
Compared to those prodigies from the Supreme Seat Domain, Li Fan might barely manage to reach the middle to upper ranks.
But to break into the top fifteen...
Sorry, but in his view, that was absolutely impossible!
To put it bluntly,
He didn't expect Li Fan to actually make it into the top fifteen. He had set this requirement simply to make Li Fan yield, admit his mistake, and at least soften his defiant attitude.
After all, what Li Fan had done was indeed wrong. If Li Fan showed no remorse and was let off lightly, problems would likely arise. Other Students would be dissatisfied, as rules are the foundation of order.
Yet the result...
Li Fan's stubbornness was far more unyielding than he had imagined.
He had even agreed to such an unreasonable goal!
One must know that failing to enter the top fifteen meant being sent to the Haoyue Plan!
"Li Fan, I ask you one more time. Are you sure you agree? The top fifteen is not as easy as you think, and the Haoyue Plan is not as decent as you imagine." At this moment, Instructor Tai Fang narrowed his eyes, giving Li Fan one last chance to reconsider.
Hearing this,
before Li Fan could even speak,
Peng Song, Luo Ling, and Golden Flash Bear behind him had already spoken up first.
"Brother Fan, think carefully!"
"Indeed, the opportunity of the qingyun plan is far too rare. For this matter... it's not worth it!"
Peng Song, Luo Ling, and the others went to Li Fan's side, frowning as they tried to persuade him.
Since Li Fan ignored their mental transmissions, they had no choice but to come over and speak directly.
They couldn't just stand by and watch Li Fan lose his spot in the qingyun plan.
"Instructor Tai Fang, Li Fan is acting on impulse right now, lacking rationality. Please don't take it to heart. If I may suggest, perhaps lower the requirement a bit? For example, have him enter the top one hundred..." Golden Flash Bear clasped his hands towards Tai Fang above, trying to win some leeway for Li Fan.
But before he could finish, he was scared into silence by Tai Fang's sharp gaze.
He dared not continue, fearing he would suffer consequences if he said more.
"Li Fan, time is short. State your final choice. Agree to the requirement I gave you, or admit your mistake and await separate punishment after the assessment?!"
At this moment, Tai Fang's gaze fixed directly on Li Fan, wanting to know his final decision.
After giving Peng Song and the others, who were still trying to persuade him, a look that said "trust me," Li Fan gave a resolute and unwavering answer.
"There's no need to say more, Senior Tai Fang. I accept the requirement to break into the top fifteen!"
With these words, the matter was settled. There would be no further changes.
Seeing this, Tai Fang said nothing more.
"Fine! Then you'd better perform well when the time comes!"
With that,
Tai Fang turned and left directly.
For a moment,
the entire world seemed to fall silent.
Everyone's gaze was now fixed on Li Fan.
Especially the Wushan Seat Group Members.
Their expressions were complex, unsure of what to say. The entire atmosphere became somewhat oppressive.
Seeing this, Li Fan simply smiled.
"It's fine. It's just the top fifteen. No big deal."
"Everyone, head back first. There are still three or four days until that Sequence Assessment. Just watch me perform when the time comes!"
Hearing this, everyone frowned and scratched their heads.
From their perspective, Li Fan was putting on a brave face, trying to lighten the mood.
And just as the atmosphere grew slightly tense,
a shrill, raucous laugh suddenly erupted.
"Hahaha, Li Fan! You're finished! You're done for!"
"Since you don't want to stay in the qingyun plan, then get lost and go to the Haoyue Plan! This beating I took was worth it!"
"Weren't you having fun hitting me just now? Do you still dare now?"
"Go on! If you have the guts, hit me again!"
The speaker was none other than Xu Yuntong, a look of mockery on his face.
Indeed,
his consciousness had already cleared, and he had heard the conversation between Tai Fang, Li Fan, and the others very clearly.
Li Fan wanted to enter the top fifteen?
That was almost like a fool's dream!
Did he really think those truly top-tier prodigies were just for show?!
Once the Sequence Assessment began, Li Fan would be demoted to the Haoyue Plan!
If that happened, then this beating he took would be truly worth it!
Once Li Fan went to the Haoyue Plan, he would no longer be qualified to be on this qingyun plan's star. Things would be much quieter for him then, and if he wanted revenge later, it would be much easier.
Li Fan had truly painted himself into a corner!
Xu Yuntong's wild laughter and taunts made the Wushan Seat Group Members grit their teeth in anger, but they didn't dare to act again.
They were afraid of bringing even more severe punishment upon Li Fan.
However, the next second,
Li Fan took a step forward.
*Slap!*
*Slap!*
"You said it yourself!"
"I've never seen such a request in my life!"
"Have you all had enough? If not, you can continue. He asked for it himself. This time, we're just helping out. It doesn't count as breaking the rules."
Li Fan said while slapping, then looked towards the Wushan Seat Group Members.
Seeing this, the Wushan Seat Group Members were only slightly stunned for a moment before succumbing to the temptation and stepping forward one after another.
Not far away,
the other members of the qingyun plan watching this scene couldn't help but twitch at the corners of their eyes.
This Li Fan really feared nothing and nobody, and he was quite good at twisting logic to his advantage.
As for this Xu Yuntong...
Why did he have to run his mouth like that?!
...
It was unclear how much time had passed.
After Li Fan and the others had thoroughly vented their frustration,
they all left one by one.
Although the Wushan Seat Group Members were still filled with worry for Li Fan,
since things had come to this, they could only accept the current situation.
All they could do now was cheer Li Fan on.
"Brother Fan, if it were anything else, I might be able to help you somewhat. But breaking into the top fifteen... I'm afraid that will be quite difficult."
On the way back to the manor, Golden Flash Bear looked at Li Fan, his face showing a troubled expression.
In this assessment, he himself was barely holding on, let alone helping Li Fan.
In response, Li Fan just shrugged with a smile, looking completely relaxed.
"Really, no need for help. It's just the top fifteen, not the top three or first place. The difficulty isn't that great."
With that, Li Fan changed the subject, a hint of gratitude and apology on his face.
"As for you, I didn't expect this matter to drag you into it. I'm truly sorry. If you ever need help in the future, I will definitely help you."
Golden Flash Bear was actually quite innocent in all this.
After all, Peng Song and the others indeed had a very good relationship with Li Fan. It made sense for Xu Yuntong to trouble them to annoy him.
But Golden Flash Bear was purely caught in the crossfire.
He and Golden Flash Bear had met, at most, no more than five times.
However, after this incident, he already considered Golden Flash Bear a friend.
"It doesn't matter to me. We're both from the Outer Seat Domain. Supporting each other is only right. Besides, the punishment will likely just be something like house arrest. You should worry about yourself first." Golden Flash Bear waved his hand, a bitter smile on his face.
Although Li Fan seemed very relaxed, he still felt that Li Fan was putting on a brave front.
Li Fan could see this, so he didn't say anything more.
Once he shone brightly in the Sequence Assessment, they would know whether he was putting on a brave face or not.
