Fan Mo and Fan Zhiyi, the masters of Lidan Pavilion, were strolling in the island garden.
"Zhiyi, did you really want to tease Lin Fan just because he stole your alchemy book at the auction? There was no other reason?"
"The real second uncle, I have never seen this person before that."
"That's good. No matter what, it's your fault in this matter. When Lin Fan comes later, take the initiative to apologize to him."
"Ah? Okay..."
After the two chatted for a while, they saw a boy coming to report: "Master, alchemist Lin Fan is outside the island asking for an audience."
"Bring this person to the living room, I'll be there in a minute." Fan Mo said.
"Okay, sir." The boy immediately took the order and left.
the other side.
Lin Fan, led by the boy, walked all the way to the mansion on the island.
As soon as he entered the island, he felt that the spiritual energy on the island was very abundant, twice as much as that of Caiquan Island!
"It's a good thing that this is the place where the master of the Zifu Pavilion lives!" He couldn't help but feel a little envious.
I even wonder what the cave heaven paradise where those Jindan ancestors lived would look like?
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he saw the master of the pavilion, Fan Mo, already greeting him at the door of the living room.
No matter what the other party said, he was also a genuine Zifu Pavilion Master.
Being able to stand up and greet an inner disciple was already a great honor for him.
He hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Disciple Lin Fan pays homage to Pavilion Master Fan."
As he said this, he handed over a basket of spiritual fruits and spiritual wine: "This is my first time here, so I'll give you a small gift. I hope the master of the pavilion won't be offended."
"Hahaha! I'm very happy that you can come. You even brought a gift, which is really unusual." After speaking, Pavilion Master Fan took Lin Fan and walked towards the seat in the living room.
After discussing some alchemy-related topics with Lin Fan, Pavilion Master Fan changed the subject and said, "I heard that you have some small grudges with my niece Fan Zhiyi?"
"It's not really a grudge, I just took a pill recipe away from Senior Sister Fan..." Lin Fan said.
"So that's the case, but no matter what, my niece did something wrong. She happens to be here today, so I'll ask her to come out and apologize to you."
Pavilion Master Fan said and shouted out: "Zhiyi! Come here!"
After a while, Fan Zhiyi walked in from outside.
She picked up a glass of spiritual wine from the table, came to Lin Fan and bowed, "I know I made a mistake in this matter. Please ask Master Lin to be magnanimous and forgive me."
Lin Fan saw that the other party's attitude was sincere, and this was a small matter in the first place. Besides, for a daughter of the Zifu family to be able to apologize like this, it was already full of sincerity.
He immediately picked up the other party's toast, drank it all in one gulp, and said, "How can I care about such a trivial matter?"
"Okay, okay!" Fan Mo happily drank three drinks in a row when he saw that the two had successfully reconciled.
Then, he said to his niece beside him: "Zhiyi, Master Lin and I still have something to discuss. You can go down first."
"Zhiyi, please leave." Fan Zhiyi saluted, turned around and left the house.
Seeing this, Pavilion Master Fan continued to talk to Lin Fan about topics related to alchemy.
In short, it is difficult for an alchemist to be alone, and he needs the guidance of a famous teacher to achieve success, etc.
As he spoke, he also told a story.
The protagonist of the story is a monk who is quite talented in alchemy and originally had a very bright future.
But because of a mistake by the other party, he did not become a disciple of a great master, so his progress in cultivation and alchemy was very slow.
In the end, after more than a hundred years, because he failed to enter the foundation building period, he turned into a handful of loess with endless unwillingness.
After finishing speaking, he sighed: "If this monk could have become a disciple of a great master earlier, he would not have had such a tragic ending."
In short, his intention to accept the other party as his disciple could not be more obvious between his words.
All I have to do is tell him face to face that I want to accept him.
Become a disciple.
After all, he was a high-ranking pavilion master, and he still wanted to save face, so he adopted this circumstantial approach.
How many people begged to become his disciples, and he was confident that as long as he revealed his idea of accepting a disciple, Lin Fan would definitely take the initiative.
But what he never expected was that Lin Fan would nod to express his agreement with his point of view, while pretending to be ignorant and keeping silent about his apprenticeship!
"What happened? Did I start too late? This person has already become a disciple?"
"No, I've never heard of it. Someone in the Xueyang Sect accepted him as a disciple?"
"This person can't be afraid of becoming a disciple. Does he have a phobia of becoming a disciple?"
However, this possibility was too outrageous, and he rejected it after thinking about it.
In the end, after several repeated hints to no avail, Pavilion Master Fan had no choice but to end the conversation.
Anyway, as long as the other party is still working in Lidan Pavilion and he keeps an eye on him, then it is impossible for the other party to be poached by others.
In short, maybe you are pushing too hard. Let the other party take a breath and think about it for a while before talking.
If it really doesn't work, at worst, he will show off his old face, use his connections, and force him into his family!
…
A few days later.
Zhang family meeting hall.
The patriarch and several elders held the family meeting again with the newly obtained investigation results.
"Judging from the investigation results, Lin Fan and Na Gu Huan just have a normal friendship. It shouldn't be because of Gu Huan's affairs that he turns against our Zhang family, right?"
"Definitely not. In my opinion, Zhang Pingyuan must have offended this person during his lifetime. After all, everyone must know about Pingyuan's virtue. What he liked to do most during his lifetime was to bully those disciples who had no foundation."
"Well, this possibility is indeed the highest."
"However, Pingyuan has been dead for more than ten years, so it is unrealistic for him to apologize to the other party."
"Although Ping Yuan is dead, isn't his father still in the clan? If a son fails to teach his father, let his old father go and apologize to Lin Fan on his behalf."
"This is not good. No matter what, our Zhang family is still a foundation-building family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. For this kind of thing, asking the disciples in the family to apologize to each other will only make my Zhang family lose face!"
Seeing the elders arguing endlessly, the first elder said decisively: "The situation is already obvious. At most, Lin Fan doesn't like our Zhang family. In this case, our Zhang family can just stop interacting with him in the future. There is no need to apologize to him."
"However, although it is unlikely, in case the other party really has irreconcilable conflicts with our Zhang family because of Gu Huan's matter, I suggest that Zhang Yu should be sent there again to test the other party.
"
"In this case, we can feel completely at ease."
"I second the motion!"
"I second the motion!"
"I also agree!"
Seeing that all the elders agreed to the great elder's proposal, the clan leader stood up and said, "Since everyone has no objections, I will go and arrange this matter."
