"I've never been interested in sect disputes!"
Lu Fan shook his head, his expression indifferent, as if he had no such intention.
"It seems my guess was correct, sir is no ordinary person, not even the position of Vice Sect Master can move you!"
Tie Bao sighed, not daring to say more. Such matters required willingness. Since Lu Fan had no interest, even offering the position of Sect Master would likely be useless.
"I've heard that in the Triangle Domain, there is an academy!"
Lu Fan changed the subject. "Have you ever heard of it?"
"Are you referring to Tongtian Academy?"
Tie Bao asked, a hint of surprise in his voice, and he looked at Lu Fan again.
"That's right, Tongtian Academy!"
Hu Yu nodded. "It seems you know of it, otherwise, you wouldn't have that expression!"
"Of course, I know!"
Tie Bao nodded. "Tongtian Academy is very famous in the Triangle Domain. How could anyone from the Triangle Domain not know of Tongtian Academy!"
"Since that's the case, do you know which direction Tongtian Academy is located in?"
Lu Fan asked again, his interest piqued. His purpose in coming to the Triangle Domain this time was to go to Tongtian Academy.
"This might be beyond my knowledge!"
Tie Bao shook his head, a look of helplessness on his face. "Tongtian Academy is renowned throughout the Triangle Domain, but to know its exact location is likely beyond our reach!"
"What do you mean?" Lu Fan frowned slightly.
"Tongtian Academy has strict admission criteria. Those who can enter are usually one in ten thousand,"
Tie Bao stated frankly. "To this day, people in the Triangle Domain do not know the exact location of Tongtian Academy. However, there are rumors that Tongtian Academy has an inner space, and one needs someone to lead the way to enter."
Lu Fan frowned. "According to you, is it impossible for me to go to Tongtian Academy?"
"Not necessarily. Tongtian Academy recruits every three years, and this year happens to be the third year,"
Tie Bao chuckled. "As long as you can pass the assessment, you will have a chance to enter!"
"I see!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly, having gained some understanding.
Not long after, they returned to Iron Mountain Sect. The elders of the sect all looked on with joy in their hearts.
"Tie Bao, you're finally back. The Sect Master was very worried!" an old man said with a smile.
"I almost didn't make it back this time!"
Tie Bao gave a wry smile, feeling aggrieved. Being schemed against by the Arctic Sect made him quite unhappy.
"For what the Arctic Sect has done, Iron Mountain Sect will make them pay the price!"
A woman spoke, her words sharp.
"Elder Feibiao, I know you care for Tie Bao, but this matter requires careful consideration!" another elder said with a smile.
Elder Feibiao's face turned a little awkward, not expecting to be spoken of in such a way by the old man.
"By the way, it's all thanks to this sir that we were able to escape death this time!"
Tie Bao spoke, looking towards Lu Fan.
The people of Iron Mountain Sect all looked at Lu Fan, surprised.
Lu Fan looked so young, unlike a master. It was puzzling that Tie Bao, an elder of Iron Mountain Sect, would refer to him in such a manner.
"I presume this fellow Daoist has extraordinary strength, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to defeat those experts from the Arctic,"
Elder Feibiao spoke. "But seeing how young you are, are you a Venerable?"
"Feibiao, do not be impolite!"
Tie Bao said repeatedly. "To be able to kill Elder Hu Qiu in an instant, such strength is not to be underestimated. Who among our sect could achieve this?"
"Elder Hu Qiu of the Arctic Sect?" Feibiao was slightly taken aback. "Does he really possess such strength?"
The other elders were also curious. Under normal circumstances, their Iron Mountain Sect did not have such a powerful individual. To kill Hu Qiu in an instant, even the Sect Master himself might not be able to achieve this.
Thinking of this, the elders became even more skeptical, mainly because Lu Fan was too young. Such a young person, by all rights, should not possess such strength.
"You don't need to doubt anymore. I know what you're thinking,"
Tie Bao shrugged. "Sir is indeed that powerful, and there's nothing to question about it."
Faced with these words, Feibiao then smiled. "To be praised by Tie Bao in this way is enough to show the extraordinary nature of sir."
"You are too kind!"
Lu Fan shook his head. "I'm new here, and it's nothing worth mentioning."
"Feibiao, hurry and make arrangements."
Tie Bao instructed. "I will host a banquet for sir tonight. We must not neglect him."
"I will go and arrange it now!"
Feibiao nodded quickly, not daring to delay in the slightest. He had always followed Tie Bao's arrangements.
"Sir, please come this way."
Tie Bao said with a smile. "I will give you a tour of Iron Mountain Sect."
"Thank you for your trouble!" Lu Fan nodded slightly, his expression remaining indifferent.
He had come to Iron Mountain Sect not for a tour, but to learn about Tongtian Academy. It also served as a place to stay.
"Look, look, it's him who saved Elder Tie Bao. I heard that he's already a Venerable at such a young age."
"Is he really that powerful? To be a Venerable at such a young age, his future must be limitless."
"Do you even need to ask? Elder Tie Bao wanted him to be the Vice Sect Master, but he wasn't interested."
Conversations continued. Many female disciples watched from the side, their hearts filled with fantasies. Lu Fan was not only powerful but also exceptionally handsome. Such a peerless prodigy naturally held a high position in their eyes.
Seeing the many female disciples, Tie Bao smiled. "Sir is young and vigorous. He will be staying at Iron Mountain Sect tonight. Are there any other needs? Iron Mountain Sect has many female disciples. If sir is willing, we can send them to you."
Lu Fan was slightly surprised. "Are there such rules? Don't they lose their human rights then?"
"Sir, you may not know this, but in the entire Triangle Domain, strength is paramount."
Tie Bao stated frankly. "As the saying goes, a higher official can crush a lower one. It's the same in the Triangle Domain. Those with strong power have the right to speak, while those with weak power can only rely on others."
"My sir is very noble and disdains these women of your sect," Hu Yu said indignantly.
Having followed Lu Fan for so long without being touched by him, how could other women get close?
"Young lady Hu Yu is correct." Tie Bao quickly nodded. "It was my oversight. With sir's presence, how could he possibly fancy the female disciples of Iron Mountain Sect?"
Lu Fan was somewhat speechless. He didn't speak, but as Hu Yu said, he wasn't particularly interested in these women, nor would he do anything out of line. This was because in his heart, there were only two figures: Princess Linglong, and Lin Ke.
