Lin Xuanye followed the sound to a side hall in Wu Gou Sword Palace, and the voices he heard became clearer and clearer.
The door of the side hall was tightly shut. Lin Xuanye tried to see the scene inside through the crack in the door.
Through the crack, a screen with a Dragon and Phoenix flying dance blocked his view, and Lin Xuanye could only see two figures, one in front and one behind.
Listening to the familiar voice of the female, the strange feeling in Lin Xuanye's heart became more and more obvious.
Lin Xuanye wanted to rush in and stop the man's rude behavior, but his reason told him that his strength was no match for that man.
And what made Lin Xuanye even more unacceptable was that, judging by his Disciple's voice, she seemed very happy at the moment.
Lin Xuanye stood blankly in front of the door crack, not knowing how to face his former Disciple, now his Master.
...
As early as when Lin Xuanye was still some distance from Wu Gou Sword Palace, Zhou Fan and Luo Ningshuang, who were discussing art, noticed Lin Xuanye's movements.
Luo Ningshuang, thinking that her newly accepted Disciple would discover what was happening here, immediately became extremely nervous and forced Zhou Fan to change places to continue discussing art.
Zhou Fan did not agree. He found that as Lin Xuanye got closer and closer to Wu Gou Sword Palace, Luo Ningshuang gradually became more and more cooperative.
To be honest, with the current posture, it felt incredibly good.
Zhou Fan's voice grew louder, and Sword Immortal Bu Yu finally couldn't hold back and began to display her Silver Tongue Sword Art again.
When Lin Xuanye arrived at the door of the side hall, the two were discussing an art sculpture from Lingjian Peak.
Luo Ningshuang believed that this sculpture was carved with a large golden sword, deeply incised, and full of wild aura.
But Zhou Fan held a different view. He believed that this sculpture was clearly a wooden hook carved with a silver sword, and it had none of the noble temperament of an Immortal family art piece.
The two argued endlessly, locked in a fierce debate for a while.
In the end, it was Zhou Fan, who possessed the Nine Yang Overlord Body and Extreme Overlord Body, who successfully won the debate again. He not only had strong debating power but also spoke very quickly.
The most crucial point was that Zhou Fan also possessed various Advanced debating techniques such as flowery rhetoric and a glib tongue.
The inexperienced Fairy Bu Yu was naturally no match for this big bad guy, Zhou Fan.
The two chatted until late at night. Zhou Fan let the somewhat exhausted Sword Immortal Bu Yu rest for a while, then strode out the door and caught the unsuspecting Lin Xuanye red-handed.
After lifting the Son of Destiny, who had been listening for a long time and still hadn't left, like a chick, Zhou Fan glanced at him and found that this old fellow was about to burst but was still less than one-fifth of his own.
He immediately activated Spiritual Qi and performed a painless, minimally invasive surgery on him.
Because Zhou Fan's actions were too fast, Sword Immortal Bu Yu was still lying limply on the bed, immersed in the afterglow of the debate.
And although Lin Xuanye had reacted, his current Cultivation was too far behind Zhou Fan's, so he could only watch helplessly as he was completely purified without a trace.
Zhou Fan even thoughtfully shielded him from pain, lest this Son of Destiny yell in the middle of the night and ruin his good mood.
Lin Xuanye was stunned. He looked at Zhou Fan, unable to speak.
"What are you looking at?"
Zhou Fan said with righteous indignation and stern words: "Not sleeping in the middle of the night, specifically running here to eavesdrop on your Master, and listening for a long time without leaving, what? You don't think what you're doing is very right, do you?"
Throwing Lin Xuanye to the ground, Zhou Fan spoke to Luo Ningshuang, who had just reacted, through the screen: "Immortal Luo, look at your good Disciple. Not sleeping in the middle of the night, doing such a beastly thing."
"I'll punish him slightly on your behalf, lest he commit a great error in the future. Immortal Luo, you shouldn't have any objections, right?"
Luo Ningshuang found it hard to speak. She wanted to say that they had both noticed Lin Xuanye's arrival earlier, but Zhou Fan had been indifferent at the time, and she herself, being somewhat muddled, had tacitly allowed it.
Now that Zhou Fan was acting like this, Luo Ningshuang didn't know whether to say he was right or wrong.
She buried her head in the quilt, playing the ostrich and not planning to deal with this matter anymore.
Lin Xuanye was suddenly dealt such a heavy blow. If he were a hot-blooded youth, he would surely fight Zhou Fan to the death at this moment.
But he was actually an old Cultivator disguised as a youth. Facing Zhou Fan's actions, he quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
He thanked Zhou Fan for his magnanimity and benevolence, for showing mercy to someone as beastly as him.
Then he thanked Zhou Fan for helping him sever the root of his troubles, allowing him to focus on the Immortal Dao in the future. His words were sincere, as if every word came from his heart.
Zhou Fan merely smiled at this. Such words from a Son of Destiny were just for listening; ninety-nine percent of those who would believe them had been affected by the Son of Destiny's intelligence-reducing aura.
After letting Lin Xuanye, who was immensely grateful to him, go, Zhou Fan appeased the slightly displeased Luo Ningshuang with his actions while checking the System messages.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for delivering a precise fatal blow to the Son of Destiny Lin Xuanye, causing Lin Xuanye's Heart-Nature to revert to the indifferent and cold old man state again!"
"Now granting the host 8000 points of Luck!"
Zhou Fan looked at the credited Luck points and suddenly thought of a new idea, discussing it with the System in his Sea of Consciousness.
"System, if I disable the Son of Destiny every time, and then use Heaven And Earth Treasure to restore them to their original state, wouldn't I be able to infinitely exploit the Son of Destiny's Luck?"
Upon hearing this, the System analyzed various factors before replying seriously.
"Report, Host! Theoretically, it is feasible, but from a practical perspective, it is not cost-effective."
"In the Cultivation World, there are indeed Heaven And Earth Treasure that can regenerate severed limbs, but their quantity is not large, and as a Cultivator's Cultivation improves, the higher their Cultivation, the more Advanced Heaven And Earth Treasure are required to repair a missing limb."
"Also, the Luck points provided by a disabled Son of Destiny are not fixed and will be influenced by the Son of Destiny's current mentality, Cultivation, and the importance of being disabled to him."
"If the host frequently disables the same Son of Destiny within a short period, they are highly likely to become numb to it, or even accustomed to it. The Luck points the host can obtain will become very little, and it is highly probable that no Luck points can be obtained through this method."
After discussing some loophole-exploiting tricks with the System, Zhou Fan understood.
To harvest Luck points from Luck leeks, material plunder is very important, and spiritual stimulation is also indispensable.
Only under this dual blow can the Luck of the Luck leek fluctuate erratically and be lost in large quantities, allowing the System to intercept all these Luck points.
And there will also be some Luck points on the Son of Destiny's original important female leads and the supporting characters in the original plot. These Luck points are generated from the future Karma intertwined with the Son of Destiny.
Therefore, Zhou Fan will gain a sum of Luck points by taking down these important female leads of the Son of Destiny in advance, or by killing those supporting characters who would have originally provided significant help to the Son of Destiny's growth.
