It's Lonely To Be Invincible Chapter 93 - Can I Go Against the Oath?

Chapter 93: Can I Go Against the Oath?

Liu Yue stood amongst the crowd, watching the ceremony with hatred on her face. Her blood boiled when she saw Lin Fan moving up. Unfair! Why is he so lucky?

If she did not have any grievance with Lin Fan, she might have even thrown herself at Lin Fan and claim connections with him.

No matter what, he was the disciple of Elder Tian Xu, the elder who possessed great strength and an extremely high status in the sect. He was one of the most powerful elders in the entire sect.

But Lin Fan embarra.s.sed me in public, and he even wanted to hammer me to death! Since that’s the case, we’ll be enemies!

On the other hand, Liu Ruochen was calm about this matter. “I see that he knew how stupid he was to reject Elder Tian Xu. He’s smart enough to take his words back now. But if he believes that he can gain success just by doing that, then he’s being delusional. His strength is what matters in the end.”

Hearing Liu Ruochen’s words, a smile could be seen on Liu Yue’s face. “Elder Sister, he’s now Elder Tian Xu’s disciple. He’ll be different from now on, and he will play a big role in the sect. With the help of Elder Tian Xu, he might even establish the eleventh peak.”

Liu Ruochen did not reply. She stared at Liu Yue coldly instead. “I brought you to the sect from the village to let you have a greater view of the world, not for you to make use of my name and fool around outside. I’ll never let you go out if that ever happens again.”

Liu Yue was most afraid of her sister. “I’m sorry, Elder Sister.” She shuddered.

Liu Ruochen said nothing more and replied to Liu Yue’s question. “There are ten peaks in the sect, and to establish the eleventh peak, you would not only need status but ability too.

“It’s suicidal if you try to compete for the position of sect leader. It’s useless even if he has the help of Elder Tian Xu. Do you think the other elders would just sit and watch that take place?

“It’s a mess whether you look at it internally or externally. The position of sect leader is not something just anyone can have their eyes on.”

Liu Yue said nothing. She knew that her sister had huge ambitions and was aiming to establish the eleventh peak. However, she was not capable of doing so. She lacked the ability and experience. It was now just Liu Ruochen’s hopeless illusion.

Liu Yue was aware that a religious brother of the Saint Convent Sect favored Liu Ruochen, but because of her sister’s pride, the religious brother was rejected.

Liu Yue had seen the religious brother before. He was talented, good-looking, and stood high above the world. When he came to the Magnificent Flame Sect, the sect leader would even have to greet him personally, which showed how well-respected he was.

If Liu Yue were in Liu Ruochen’s position, she would surely not reject the religious brother. Who would dare to offend me if I was the religious brother’s wife?

Even this guy here would not be able to do anything to me despite Elder Tian Xu’s protection. He would have to kneel down to me if I said so. That’s what status and power can do.

Jun Wutian did not attend the ceremony because he was afraid that he would be unable to hold back his anger and kill Lin Fan on impulse.

As for the other peak leaders, some were not in the sect while some were spectating. They did not have any comments.

With their status, a small act from them would be able to cause an uproar.

Or maybe to them, Lin Fan would not be a threat to them even if he had Elder Tian Xu as his master.

All ten peaks had elders supporting them, and Elder Tian Xu had always stayed neutral on their matters. He never took sides with any of them.

At the same time, they did not really care about this ceremony. They had already decided that, if Lin Fan ever offended them, they would just close an eye to Lin Fan and let him go for the sake of Elder Tian Xu.

Even Jun Wutian, who always seemed to stand at the top of the world, was behaving carefully, not daring to act frivolously with the fear of offending Elder Tian Xu.

He’s such a scaredy-cat.

…

The apprentice ceremony ended, and the crowd dispersed.

Lin Fan left with Elder Tian Xu.

This situation was extremely beneficial to Lin Fan, but he did not expect Elder Tian Xu to be so serious about taking him as his disciple. He has even sworn an oath!

What should I do now?

If you’re doing it for real, then c’mon! I’m not afraid.

I, Lin Fan, do not have the heart of a wolf and the lungs of a dog. I’ll treat anybody that treats me nicely well. On the other hand, if you’re mean to me, I’ll smash you to your death. (TL note 1)

That’s how domineering life should be!

On a cliff, with snow-white clouds scattered across the sky, there was only Lin Fan and Elder Tian Xu left on the scene.

He did not say anything, he simply waited for his master to speak. Normally, the master would make a speech and give his disciple some advice first.

And indeed, Elder Tian Xu stood there with his arms behind his back, staring somewhere into the distance. “Disciple, after I took you in as my direct disciple, many elders said that I’m being frivolous and I should not do this….”

Hearing him, Lin Fan couldn’t help but mumble. Am I that bad?

“Master, then why did you take me in as your disciple?” Lin Fan put on a calm expression. I’ll leave the cursing aside for now. When I get the chance, I will use those elders who bad-mouthed me as practice.

“Because when I first saw you, I saw the good in you.”

Hearing this, Lin Fan was unable to remain calm anymore. He looked around himself. There’s good in me? Is it because I shine too bright, making me give off some kind of aura unintentionally?

Soon after, Elder Tian Xu said, “Without insight, you can only see what’s on the surface, but with insight, you can see the origin and essence of everything.

“Master does not need you to be higher than the peak, near the peak is enough.”

Those words were touching, but why did they sound weirder toward the end? Are you praising me or yourself?

Shameless.

You’re just praising me to give yourself a head start so you can blow your own trumpet later. Such a smooth and skilled transaction.

But as the master, everything you say is correct. I’ll just listen and take anything good that you give me.

“Master, you’re absolutely right,” Lin Fan said.

Elder Tian Xu nodded in satisfaction. “Since you’re now my disciple, master won’t let you suffer. Here are some skillsets for you. Learn them slowly and ask when you have questions.”

Lin Fan was extremely excited. Finally, that’s the main point!

“Now you’re already in an Earth Star Border Stage Two, you have a strong foundation. Take this bottle of pills and take one every day. After a month, come and get some more from me.

“And this Earth-level middle-cla.s.s weapon – the weapon that I used when I was younger. It has been with me for a long time, but I have not put it to use for a while. It’s time for it to see light again.

“It might not be a high-cla.s.s weapon, but it has been with me for all my life, and the credit for my achievements in this lifetime goes to it.”

A pike appeared out of nowhere.

Elder Tian Xu caressed the pike, as if it reminded him of his youth. He was reluctant to part with the pike.

“Master, your humble disciple has something to say,” Lin Fan spoke up. “I do not use pikes as my weapon. I used a mace, but it was ruined. I hope Master can help fix my mace.”

Lin Fan took out his mace that was in a disastrous state. Elder Tian Xu was slightly taken aback, but he let out a sigh at last.

“Haish, since you have a route that you wish to take, Master will fix this for you.”

The mace was sucked out of Lin Fan’s hands into Elder Tian Xu’s hands. “It’s of a lower quality.” He then threw the mace up into the air and surrounded it with mysterious energy before changing it into a fundamental state.

Lin Fan waited slowly. He was curious to see what his mace would look like after Elder Tian Xu fixed it for him.

Crack!

A clear crack could be heard.

Lin Fan was extremely shocked.

The next second, Elder Tian Xu could be seen throwing his precious pike up into the air and refining it without hesitation.

“Isn’t that pike your old buddy? You’re merciless!” Lin Fan mumbled to himself.

But his gaze was fixed to the middle of the air. He could see the two different materials fusing into a new mace, which looked way cooler than the one Lin Fan owned originally. It was silver in color, and it shone brightly under the sun.

“Oh, it’s at its limit. What should I do with the materials left over?” Elder Tian Xu mumbled.

“Master,” Lin Fan spoke up without hesitation. “Can you make disciple a frying pan with the materials left over?”

“Frying pan?” Elder Tian Xu was at a loss.

Under Lin Fan’s description, Elder Tian Xu finally understood what Lin Fan meant. However, he was still confused. What kind of weapon is this?

When Lin Fan got his hands on both weapons, he felt extremely powerful.

A mace in his right and a frying pan in the left. Who would be able to take the joint attack of a frying pan and a mace?

Seeing that Lin Fan was happy with the weapons, Elder Tian Xu nodded happily. “Okay, you may leave. Master will take my leave now. Work hard.”

“Hold on….” Hearing him, Lin Fan immediately stopped Elder Tian Xu.

Elder Tian Xu turned back, confused. What’s wrong? Does he perhaps wish to thank me? Elder Tian Xu came to the conclusion after some thought.

But there’s no need to. This is something that I, as his master, should do.

“Master, these skillsets aren’t suitable for me. Can I change them…?” Lin Fan felt that the skillsets he had gotten were more graceful, and some were unusual skills. It was different from his usual style.

Elder Tian Xu’s heart sank after hearing this. This disciple is a tad bit troublesome, huh?

Can I go against my oath?
