Chapter 222: Chapter 221: Bold Confession

Zhang Yuanshan spoke earnestly, "Lin Fan, you need to think this through. Once you choose to challenge the Royal Academy, if you fail, you may lose the opportunity to enter our Sky Star Sect’s Inner Court, so..."

Zhang Yuanshan stopped there, knowing that Lin Fan understood his meaning.

Lin Fan said, "Dean, I’ve made up my mind. Even if I fail in challenging the Royal Academy, I’ll have no regrets!"

"Good!"

Zhang Yuanshan smiled and said, "A man should have this kind of unstoppable momentum. Don’t worry, I was only joking with you just now. Even if you fail to challenge the Royal Academy, you can still return to the Sky Star Sect. The Sky Star Sect will always be your harbor."

"Thank you, Dean!"

said Lin Fan.

Zhang Yuanshan waved his hand and said, "You don’t need to thank me. If you truly want to express gratitude, you should thank those powerhouses in the Inner Court. To be honest, it was they who recommended you to challenge the Royal Academy. Without their recommendation, you wouldn’t have this opportunity."

Here, Zhang Yuanshan paused for a moment before continuing, "However, Lin Fan, you must work hard, absolutely, you cannot let them down!"

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Rest assured, Dean, I will definitely not disappoint you."

Zhang Yuanshan nodded and then said, "Alright, go and get some rest. Tomorrow, I’ll take you to the Inner Court for the final intensive training."

Lin Fan said his goodbyes and left.

After returning to his residence, Lin Fan found himself unable to calm down for a long time.

"Mother, are you really from the Imperial City? No matter where you are from, one day, I will surely find you!"

Lin Fan’s heart was filled with unwavering determination.

In the evening, Liu Junli came.

Lin Fan was somewhat surprised by Liu Junli’s visit since he had not expected that she would come.

At the same time, when Lin Fan looked at Liu Junli, he noticed that her expression was somewhat odd, different from before, and even sensed a shy coyness emanating from her.

To know that in the past, Liu Junli had always been very forthright, like a tomboy.

And now, Liu Junli showing a shy demeanor was very surprising.

"Liu Junli, did you come to see me for some reason?" asked Lin Fan.

Liu Junli lowered her head and did not respond immediately to Lin Fan’s question, seeming hesitant, as if she had something difficult to say.

Seeing her like this, Lin Fan felt even more odd.

However, Lin Fan remained silent, just quietly looking at Liu Junli.

After a while, Liu Junli suddenly raised her head as if she made some resolve, looked at Lin Fan, and asked, "Lin Fan, are you planning to leave? Are you entering the Inner Court?"

Lin Fan nodded.

Liu Junli said with self-mockery, "I really didn’t expect that your growth would be so terrifying. I remember when we first entered the Outer Court of the Sky Star Sect, your strength wasn’t much stronger than mine. But now, you’ve reached a height I cannot even touch, heh!"

While talking, Liu Junli let out a wry smile.

It was apparent that she was feeling quite helpless at the moment.

Lin Fan said, "Liu Junli, you need not mock yourself. During our Cultivation, our greatest enemy is actually ourselves. As long as we defeat that, the path ahead in our Cultivation will be smooth sailing!"

"Our enemy is ourselves?"

Liu Junli was momentarily stunned.

After all, she had never thought about this before!

Quickly, Liu Junli regained her composure since she knew she had come to find Lin Fan today not to talk about matters of Cultivation, but for other important things.

Liu Junli then looked at Lin Fan again and said, "Lin Fan, there are some things I originally didn’t want to say right now, but... I feel like if I don’t say them now, there may never be another chance!"

"So, even though I know it’s not the right moment to speak, I have to say it!"

While speaking, Liu Junli’s face was filled with resolve.

Lin Fan was somewhat skeptical, what exactly was she going to say?

And then Lin Fan asked, "What do you want to say?"

Liu Junli said, "Lin Fan, I like you. Will you be my boyfriend? Is that okay?"

"Uh!"

Lin Fan was completely stunned!

Lin Fan had never imagined that Liu Junli would actually like him?

He had even less anticipated that Liu Junli would confess to him so directly?

This was completely beyond Lin Fan’s expectations!

Liu Junli then said, "Lin Fan, I know that bringing this up so suddenly might have startled you, but still, I must tell you. I also know that my strength is far inferior to yours, but rest assured, as long as you agree, I will work hard on my Cultivation. I will definitely find a way to catch up to you!"

Lin Fan still didn’t say anything.

It wasn’t that Lin Fan didn’t want to speak; under the current circumstances, he genuinely didn’t know what would be appropriate to say.

"Lin Fan!"

Liu Junli tried calling his name again.

Lin Fan still didn’t say anything.

Left with no other choice, Liu Junli continued, "Lin Fan, if you don’t say anything, I’ll take it as your consent. From now on, you’ll be my boyfriend, I..."

Lin Fan waved his hand to interrupt her, saying, "Liu Junli, I’m sorry, I can’t agree to that!"

"You... why?"

Liu Junli looked at Lin Fan somewhat blankly.

Because she had never imagined Lin Fan would reject her so straightforwardly?

Lin Fan shook his head once more and said, "Because I don’t want romantic entanglements to affect my Cultivation; I don’t want to be hurt by love again."

What Lin Fan said was true; he really didn’t want to be hurt.

You see, in his past life, Lin Fan had been devastated by a romantic affair, to the point where he even lost his life.

So in this life, Lin Fan really did not want to engage in such matters prematurely.

Liu Junli said, "Lin Fan, I won’t hurt you, I really won’t, rest assured."

Lin Fan said, "Liu Junli, let’s not speak of romantic affairs anymore. From now on, we’re still friends. I wish you good luck!"

This time, Liu Junli didn’t say anything. She just stood there, staring blankly at Lin Fan. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn’t say anything at all.

After a long while, Liu Junli said, "Lin Fan, I won’t give up."

After saying that, Liu Junli turned around and left.

Lin Fan looked at Liu Junli’s retreating figure, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

The next morning, Zhang Yuanshan found Lin Fan and said, "Let’s go, we’re setting out. I’m going to escort you to the Inner Court now."

Lin Fan was somewhat surprised and asked, "Headmaster, where exactly is the Sky Star Sect’s Inner Court? Is it far from here?"

"Heh heh!"

After a mysterious laugh, Zhang Yuanshan said, "For now, you don’t need to ask anything. You’ll understand when we get there."

"Alright!"

Lin Fan said helplessly.

Following that, Zhang Yuanshan led Lin Fan and they set off right away, taking a Flying Life and quickly heading east.

After flying for more than a two-hour period, they still hadn’t arrived.
