"Don't you want to become a branch leader?"
Bai Mian Shu Sheng said coldly, "You pretend to be so pure on the surface, but in reality, you probably have other intentions. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!"
"Senior Brother Bai Mian, you think too ill of me. I'm not someone who's two-faced!" Gui Ying chuckled faintly. "But if you insist on thinking that way, there's nothing I can do. However, you should still take care of yourself. He is someone Master values. No one can do anything to him, or they will die a violent death. This is my advice to you!"
"When did I ever ask for your advice!" Bai Mian Shu Sheng was somewhat displeased and turned to leave. He had originally wanted to join forces with Gui Ying to deal with Lu Fan, but it seemed impossible now. Gui Ying's attitude just now was enough to reveal some clues.
In the following days, Jian Bei paid close attention, visiting Lu Fan almost every day. Such a thing had never happened in the entire Assassin Dynasty, naturally attracting the attention of many people. There was much discussion, and some even believed that Lu Fan was the next branch leader, and no one could replace his position.
In the hall, Mu Dan was taking care of him meticulously. Looking at Lu Fan's face, she felt an inexplicable urge. After all, beautiful women love heroes, especially someone like Lu Fan, who was a heavenly prodigy. Even she felt a sense of admiration.
Lu Fan gradually woke up and was a bit lost seeing the scene before him, not knowing where he was. When he saw Mu Dan, his expression was slightly flustered: "So it's Senior Sister Mu Dan, why are you here?"
As Lu Fan spoke, he shifted a few steps backward. He clearly remembered that Mu Dan wanted to kill him. Now that he was seriously injured, if she really wanted to attack him, he would have no power to resist.
"What are you afraid of!"
Mu Dan rolled her eyes. "If I hadn't been taking care of you meticulously, you wouldn't have recovered so quickly. Don't tell me you've forgotten me once you're healed?"
"This..." Lu Fan was a little embarrassed, especially Mu Dan's attitude, which seemed to have done a 180-degree turn, making him unable to react.
"Don't worry, it was a misunderstanding before, and I won't blame you!"
Mu Dan said directly, "But speaking of which, you are quite capable. You were able to withstand the lightning tribulation and successfully become the first. I'm afraid it won't be long before you become famous throughout the entire Assassin Dynasty!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Senior Sister, but I'm not that capable!" Lu Fan shook his head and said, "I was lucky to trigger the lightning tribulation, which allowed me to win first place!"
"You're quite humble now. I didn't see any mercy in you when we were in Purgatory. So many Saints died tragically!" Mu Dan rolled her eyes.
"In that situation, it was either you die or I die. Of course, I couldn't hold back!"
Lu Fan said with a wry smile, "I believe Senior Sister Mu Dan can understand. Anyone else would do the same."
"I don't mean to blame you, don't overthink it!" Mu Dan quickly said, "But you need to recover from your injuries as soon as possible so that you can undergo the ceremony of becoming a closed-door disciple. This is very important for you, even a stepping stone!"
"Thank you for your concern, Senior Sister!" Lu Fan clasped his fists, feeling a bit surprised in his heart. Mu Dan's attitude towards him had suddenly become so good, which made him unable to recover.
"You're finally awake!"
Just then, a figure arrived outside the hall. It was Jian Bei, the branch leader of the Assassin Dynasty.
"Your subordinate greets the branch leader!"
Lu Fan quickly got up. Although he was feeling unwell, he dared not be negligent. The person before him was the leader of the Assassin Dynasty's branch, and Lu Fan naturally did not dare to underestimate him.
"Enough, enough, no need for such a grand礼!"
Jian Bei quickly said, "Recovering is the most important thing. You don't need to worry about anything else!"
Lu Fan nodded solemnly at these words, but he felt a little apprehensive. The person before him was a King-level assassin, and he never expected him to personally come to visit him, which caught him off guard.
"You became first in the last competition, and this will mean you are my closed-door disciple!" Jian Bei said directly, "So you don't need to be polite when you see me. When your injuries are healed, we will officially begin the ceremony."
Lu Fan quickly nodded, joy in his eyes. This way, he could get close to Jian Bei and obtain the mission scroll, which would allow him to find out who killed Chen Xian'er.
In the following days, Lu Fan's injuries gradually recovered, and he became spirited. Under Mu Dan's meticulous care, his recovery was even faster.
"You brat, you're full of energy after a few days. You haven't disappointed me!"
Gui Ying walked over and smiled at Lu Fan, "From now on, you'll be our junior brother!"
"Thank you, Senior Brother Gui Ying!" Lu Fan quickly clasped his fists and smiled. Gui Ying treated him well, and Lu Fan could see that.
At the same time, throughout the Eastern Domain, many immortal cultivation sects were wary, especially those Holy Land Dynasties. They were somewhat moved by the lightning tribulation that occurred a few days ago.
That was the Nine Dragon Lightning Tribulation, which only King-level experts could trigger. The Assassin Dynasty had another King-level expert, which made them uneasy.
After all, King-level experts were extremely terrifying, especially the King-level experts of the Assassin Dynasty. These King-level experts could kill Saint Kings, and even Holy Lands would fear them.
Unfortunately, Lion Peak was a branch of the Assassin Dynasty, and no one dared to come here easily.
On the cliff of Lion Peak, the old village chief was meditating. Lu Fan strode over, looking relaxed and at ease.
"You brat, you're finally awake. I thought you would die in that lightning tribulation!" the old village chief said with a wry smile, "But you haven't disappointed me after all!"
"I also thought I would die in the lightning tribulation!" Lu Fan said with a wry smile, "Perhaps it was my fate not to die, so I came back to life!"
"Don't talk nonsense here, you brat. Those who can escape the lightning tribulation are not ordinary people, especially such a terrifying lightning tribulation. If you can overcome this tribulation, you will surely soar in the future!" the old village chief said with a smile.
"If that's really the case, then I must thank you for your good wishes!" Lu Fan suddenly smiled.
"You're about to become a closed-door disciple. Actually, I think it's also a good choice for you to become a Saint-level assassin of the Assassin Dynasty. You might even become a branch leader in the future!" the old village chief said with a light smile. "This is the dream of countless people. The branch leader of the Assassin Dynasty has a very high status. Even Holy Lords would fear them when they meet them!"
"If they were really that powerful, the Assassin Dynasty wouldn't have to hide and seek." Lu Fan shrugged and said, "Peerless divine weapons are the true sharp tools."
