From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master-Chapter 264: Gifts

"That lucky bastard. Zhang Yi Nian’s ancestors must have saved the heavens for him to have a core disciple like you," Zhao Qing Ying lamented.

He was still sour over the fact that Lin Fan didn’t want to be his disciple.

"Senior martial uncle, rest assured I’m always ready to fight for the sect," Lin Fan replied.

"Hmph. I know what you are getting at. No further rewards until we finish off the Dark Lotus sect."

Zhao Qing Ying said and twitched his reddened nose from the alcohol.

He rubbed his nose and continued, "Anyway, well done so far. We called you here to plan for our final attack into the mountains."

A disciple then took out a map and unrolled it on the ground.

On the map was the layout of the Tai Mountains.

The only route into the mountains was like a funnel, a perfect ambush point.

Zhao Qing Ying pointed at it and said, "Lin Fan, you take charge and clear the enemies that could be in ambush before the others move in."

"But wouldn’t I be ambushed by them?" Lin Fan asked as he looked at the map.

"No, attack them where they least expect." Zhao Qing Ying threw an artifact over to Lin Fan.

It flew across the map and Lin Fan caught it in his hands.

The artifact was a golden feather.

Much like the one Tenth Rooster used to travel in the air.

"Use it to go from the air.

"Move out before dawn; if you succeed, we will then move into the mountains.

"Hun Yen Kun will go with you this time."

Lin Fan bowed and kept the golden feather.

The fire crackled and swayed as the entrance to the tent opened.

Zhao Ming Ye entered the tent.

"Any information from the body?" Zhao Qing Ying asked.

Zhao Ming Ye shook his head and said, "No. Their memories are locked. My memory recall formation array didn’t work."

His shadow twitched a little when the fire swayed.

They continued and discussed the details of the attack.

When it was over, Lin Fan went back to his tent.

To his surprise, there were many people inside.

"Finally, you are back," Ho Ming said when he saw Lin Fan enter.

He gave Lin Fan a ’good luck’ look.

"Ah. Lin... No, Lu Ding. I’m Lao from the Sword Peak, thanks for your valiant efforts earlier on."

"Feng from Formation Peak, here with a bottle of good wine. Hope we can drink to our hearts’ content."

"No. Let me go first. I’m Heng from the Alchemy Peak."

The disciples jostled with each other, trying to get to Lin Fan first.

They wanted to get on good terms with Lin Fan.

Anything to increase their chances of survival.

Lin Fan rubbed his temple as he saw the crowd coming at him.

He glanced over at Ho Ming, but all he got from him was a shrug and grin.

Ho Ming had to deal with all this whenever he returned to An Xiang village.

Now, it was Lin Fan’s turn to face it on his own.

"It’s late. We need to rest for our mission," he pushed the gifts away and said.

"But we’ve waited for so long," the disciples said in unison.

Lin Fan glanced over at Lee Xiao and said, "My friend, Lee Xiao here, can take care of it for me."

Lee Xiao didn’t even have time to respond before being overwhelmed by the disciples.

He was quickly buried in a small mountain of gifts.

"Lee Xiao, I might have spoken without much thinking. Hope you don’t mind if I’ve offended you before."

"Yes, same with me. Didn’t study much and my words aren’t the politest."

"Hope you can forgive us."

The disciples tried to apologize for what they’d said about him before.

Lee Xiao nodded and looked at their faces carefully.

How the tides had changed.

He remembered how he was looked down upon by them just because he was a servant.

And now, they’d come to him with their backs bent and gifts in their hands.

He glanced over at Lin Fan, trying very hard to keep his eyes from getting watery.

It was all due to Lin Fan that this was happening, he thought.

Lin Fan, however, was lying on his bed and had his eyes closed.

Oblivious to what was happening.

He had summoned the system’s information panel in his mind.

[Current Beast Ability: 3/3]

[Wild Rabbit Abilities Level: 3/3]

[Wolf Ability Level: 3/3]

[Earth Breaker Salamander Ability Level: 3/3]

[Current Physique Level: 7 (6400 Vengeance Points to upgrade)]

[Current Vengeance Points: 6800]

[Upgrade Physiques: Y/N]

He had enough to upgrade his physique.

But he couldn’t do it now with the crowd inside the tent.

He would have to wait for them to go away.

Lin Fan opened his eyes and glanced at Lee Xiao.

His eyes darted at the entrance of the tent.

Lee Xiao saw it and got what Lin Fan wanted.

"It’s late and we must discuss the mission for tomorrow. Maybe it’s time for you to leave."

He stood up and walked over to the entrance, lifting up the flap and waiting.

The disciples had no choice but to oblige.

They streamed out one by one, and they bowed to Lin Fan before leaving.

Soon, there were no other disciples around, and the tent was back to being quiet.

"Phew. I thought it would last forever," Tai Lan slapped his forehead and said.

"Tsk." Lee Xiao shook his head at Tai Lan.

Lin Fan got up and briefed them on the mission next.

They would have to move out before dawn and finish off the Dark Lotus disciples at the ambush points.

He passed them each a small map with markings of where the ambush points were.

"All right. Take a good rest for the night. We might have a long day ahead tomorrow," Lin Fan said.

Lee Xiao and Tai Lan nodded and went to bed immediately.

Things were going well, and he must take hold of this opportunity, Lee Xiao thought.

He mustn’t disappoint Lin Fan.

A few hours passed and everyone was soon asleep.

Lin Fan suddenly opened his eyes, sat up, and got ready to upgrade his physique.
