Invincible Young Master in the City-Chapter 1460 - 1456: An Unusual Friend

"Even if it was a mistake, punishment must still be meted out. This isn’t something that can be resolved just by admitting fault!" Sister Lin declared, picking up an object that resembled a scepter and continued, "Now, I’m going to show you the consequences of wrongdoing!"

As Sister Lin raised that scepter-like object, Ye Fan felt that there seemed to be a strange power flowing within it. This power was very faint, but since Ye Fan was constantly probing with his Spiritual Energy, he could clearly sense it.

Sister Lin was about to lower the scepter when suddenly her arm felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, and she couldn’t bring it down.

Ye Fan was slowly approaching her step by step; Sister Lin’s eyes showed confusion. She tried to raise the scepter again, but her strength was insufficient to support it.

"What’s going on?" There was a hint of fright on Sister Lin’s face.

"Sister Lin... Don’t mind him, my friend here... Ye Fan, don’t be like this, we are guests from afar and should not interfere with the host’s family discipline!" Zhao Tianya hurriedly came to dissuade him.

By this time, the scepter in Sister Lin’s hand had already flown into the air and finally landed in Ye Fan’s hands. Ye Fan looked at the scepter in his hand and felt it was very strange. When he held this scepter, it seemed there was no power within it at all.

This feeling was just like how he felt when holding Taijing.

"Take him down!"

Ye Fan seemed to be lost in examining the scepter in his hand, and Sister Lin’s attitude was no longer so accommodating. At her command, the women in black behind her rushed towards Ye Fan, surrounding him in an instant.

These women seemed to have learned some martial arts, but even the most basic ancient martial arts they hadn’t come into contact with. In Ye Fan’s view, at most they were skilled in superficial tricks, so Ye Fan didn’t plan to strike.

Zhao Tianya, who had brought Ye Fan here, seemed very anxious and said, "Sister Lin, this must be a misunderstanding. My friend just wanted to take a look at your item; he’ll give it back to you immediately! Ye Fan, I brought you here not to seize and plunder!"

Ye Fan didn’t reply to Zhao Tianya but looked at Sister Lin and asked, "Where did you get this item from?"

"Hmm?" Sister Lin was stunned by Ye Fan’s question, then reacted with anger, "What does that have to do with you?"

Ye Fan waved his hand, flinging away several women in black who were about to rush forward. When the women landed, they found themselves landing steadily without any injury. But when they tried to rush forward again, they found an invisible wall blocking them.

It was only then that Sister Lin felt a bit of fear. Clearly, she hadn’t expected Ye Fan to have such special cultivation that could make people lose their ability to resist in an instant.

"You all..."

Sister Lin glanced at Zhao Tianya, who was somewhat regretful for bringing Ye Fan here but still quickly explained, "Sister Lin, don’t misunderstand, Ye Fan has actually... cultivated some things. To put it simply, it’s like cultivating immortality. He wants to know the origin of your item, and if you know, it wouldn’t hurt to tell him!"

"Cultivating immortality?" Sister Lin had a look of disbelief.

"Sister Lin, I know you can’t understand, but... he’s really into cultivating immortality, and... I’m also cultivating immortality now, he introduced me into the path of cultivation. Don’t believe it? Look!"

To prove that she indeed knew some spells of immortal cultivation, Zhao Tianya levitated into the air as if she was using the Floating Technique. Once she reached Sister Lin, Sister Lin looked at Zhao Tianya in astonishment, and after a while, she finally snapped back to reality and asked, "How did you do that?"

"Well... I don’t understand either. Ye Fan taught me this. For such matters, it’s better to ask him!" Zhao Tianya said with some difficulty.

Sister Lin then looked at Ye Fan. Her attitude wasn’t as firm as before; her tone became a bit weak, "You want to know the origin of this item? It’s not difficult; just teach me the ways of cultivating immortality!"

Ye Fan shook his head unceremoniously.

Sister Lin realized that perhaps her request was a bit excessive. After pondering for a while, she said, "If you’re unwilling to teach me personally, you can at least give me some techniques. I’ve heard about the spells of immortal cultivation but haven’t confirmed it. This item truly has some supernatural abilities. I have researched it for a few years and barely understood a bit. If you give me some techniques, I’ll give you this item!"

Only then did Ye Fan nod and say, "It’s better for Tianya to teach you."

"Ye Fan, I... I don’t really understand these things... Well, let me do it, then. Sister Lin, Ye Fan did teach me some paths of cultivation. I can teach you these techniques, but I can’t promise you’ll have any breakthrough," Zhao Tianya said, looking at Ye Fan and asked, "Ye Fan, do you agree?"

"Mm." Ye Fan nodded.

Zhao Tianya then said, "Sister Lin, you can tell Ye Fan. If you don’t trust him, at least trust me. I can teach you how to cultivate immortality, but you must tell Ye Fan the origin of this item..."

Sister Lin hesitated for a moment before saying, "This item, I spent a high price and used some special methods to exchange it from a mysterious person. Initially, I thought I was deceived by a charlatan, but later I found out this item indeed had supernatural abilities. After careful study, I discovered this item could make people forget what happened before, and it even serves as a protective charm. But I didn’t understand more techniques, so I kept it by my side as a protective item!"

"Who was the person you traded with?" Ye Fan asked.

"I don’t know him, but I know he’s a charlatan. He likes to tell fortunes with vague words. I used to believe in Feng Shui, and it was by someone’s introduction that he came to see my Feng Shui and brought along this item. He’s not interested in money or women but very interested in rare treasures. He wanted to acquire them through my connections. That was the condition of the exchange!" Sister Lin said.

Ye Fan thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "That’s truly a piece of destiny!"

Sister Lin said, "You say you cultivate immortality, but can you control this item?"

Ye Fan shook his head and said, "Not every magical artifact can be triggered in the most correct way. I don’t know what function it truly has. Originally, it belongs to you, and if I took it away, it would indeed be plundering. Here, take it!"

With that, Ye Fan tossed the scepter, and Sister Lin hurriedly reached out to catch it. But as the item approached her palm, it suddenly lowered and calmly landed in her hand. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Sister Lin, are you alright?" Zhao Tianya saw that Ye Fan had lifted the restriction on Sister Lin and quickly stepped forward to check.

"I... I’m fine." Sister Lin said, still somewhat shaken, "Tianya, the friend you brought is quite unusual."
