Chapter 974: Stepping into the role of protagonist
The more that Lin Fan thought about it, the worse that bad feeling that he felt.
After all, for Huang Xie to suddenly have this kind of luck, it really seemed like something bad was about to happen.
It was as if he was about to face some kind of tribulation that he was receiving this kind of luck from the heavens…
It was like some kind of death flag…
Still, it wasn't as if there was anything that Lin Fan could do for Huang Xie regarding this.
After all, it wasn't as if Lin Fan could change the will of the heavens.
The only thing that he could do was watch over Huang Xie and try to help him how he could.
When Huang Xie passed all these trials and became the strongest in the world, that was when it was time to reap the rewards.
It took a while before Huang Xie finally stopped.
When he did, he turned back to Lin Fan to say, "Master, I don't feel anything else."
When he heard this, Lin Fan couldn't help letting out a secret sigh of relief.
However, he didn't let anything show on his face as he said to Huang Xie, "Alright, then let's head back to the Love Sect."
Though before leaving, he couldn't help asking, "Do you really not want to use any of these elixirs? I'll guard over you if you want to refine these elixirs."
Huang Xie slowly shook his head before saying, "There are people that I want to give these elixirs to, so I don't want to use them." Then he took one out and said, "Master, are you sure that you don't want to take this?"
Lin Fan shook his head slightly with a faint smile before saying, "Silly disciple, didn't I already tell you that this thing isn't useful to me? This is only a Qi Condensation Realm Herb, it won't have much effect for someone like me who is already in the Golden Core Realm."
Huang Xie didn't seem that convinced when he heard this, but he still took it back in the end since Lin Fan was firm in his rejection.
Once Huang Xie put everything away, they started heading down the road back to the Love Sect again.
Lin Fan could have brought Huang Xie back faster if he just pulled out any of the spirit beasts that were under his control, but he didn't do that since he wanted to give Huang Xie time to think things through.
But at least it seemed that Huang Xie seemed a bit better after finding all of the different elixirs in this forest.
Lin Fan also made a mental note to mention this place to Mu Bao Bao when he got back.
Since Huang Xie was able to find all of those elixirs, there was no doubt that there was something special about this place. He didn't know what exactly, but he would leave that to the Mu Empire's government.
They would send people to investigate and find out for him.
If they wanted to settle in this place and exploit that specialty, that was also fine since it could be considered contributing to the Mu Empire.
After walking for a bit, Huang Xie suddenly raised his hand and said, "Master, do you hear that?"
Lin Fan was confused since he didn't hear anything, but it seemed that Huang Xie had, with the look that was on his face.
After a moment of silence, Huang Xie suddenly dashed forward without saying anything.
Lin Fan was left behind with a slightly dazed look on his face, but he shook his head with a faint smile and followed behind Huang Xie.
With his speed, he was able to easily catch up to Huang Xie.
When he did, he heard the sound that Huang Xie mentioned before. It was just that he couldn't believe that Huang Xie had heard that sound before he did.
With how far it was, it was hard for him to hear it even with his heightened senses.
So how had Huang Xie heard it from so far away?
Still, Lin Fan didn't do anything as he watched Huang Xie charging forward from above.
Since this was something that only Huang Xie had heard, that must mean that this was some kind of special situation. If that was the case, it was better if he didn't get involved unless he had to get involved.
From above, he could easily see what the situation was.
It was a bunch of bandits that were attacking a carriage in the middle of the road.
Even though there was a lot of noise that came from the carriage being attacked like this, it wasn't as if the noise was loud enough that it would spread that far.
At the same time, there were only minor spiritual energy fluctuations that were coming from this incident. That clearly showed that the bandits were only normal mortal world bandits and nothing special.
So for Huang Xie to notice these bandits before Lin Fan did, that meant that there was something that was guiding Huang Xie to these bandits…

Just what was happening here?
Lin Fan observed from above to see if he could find anything that was off about this situation.
When Huang Xie arrived, he didn't waste any time engaging the bandits.
The bandits were naturally surprised to see Huang Xie appear out of nowhere like this, but it wasn't as if they were afraid of fighting him.
That was strange since Huang Xie should have put pressure on them just by being there.
Even if Huang Xie wasn't as strong as Lin Fan, he was still stronger than these bandits that were only in the Qi Gathering Realm. Just by being in front of him, the natural aura that he released should have been enough for him to suppress these bandits.
However, it didn't seem like the bandits were afraid of Huang Xie at all.
Why was that?
What was protecting them from Huang Xie's aura?
The more that Lin Fan witnessed, the more that it felt that there was something off about this.
Huang Xie made quick work of the bandits, just sending them flying with a few punches. With the difference in strength, it was only natural that they weren't able to do a single thing to Huang Xie.
When it was all over, the people that had been hiding in the carriage slowly came out of the carriage to thank him.
When they did, Lin Fan finally got the answer to his question.
That was because he saw someone who provoked a reaction from his Appraisal Eyes.
Anyone that was able to provoke a reaction from his Appraisal Eyes definitely was not a normal person. Not to mention that when he saw the title that this person had, he was even more certain that this person wasn't a normal person.
That was because the title that this person had was one that he had seen only once before.
Heaven's Chosen's Companion.
The only other person that he saw this title from was He Chun Hua and now there was someone else who had this title.
If this person was among the ones that Huang Xie rescued, did that mean that all of this was arranged by the heavens themselves?
They had brought Huang Xie to this place just so he could meet this companion of his.
Lin Fan couldn't help feeling that it was a good idea that he had chosen to observe instead of getting involved. After all, getting in the way of the heaven's plans definitely was a good way of being smited by the heavens.
So just watching was the best thing that he could do.
After saving them from the bandits, Huang Xie was immediately kindly looked upon by the people of the caravan. They even asked if he wanted to come with them since they wanted to use him for protection.
The girl who was supposed to be his future companion, the girl named Xi Xuan seemed to be instantly smitten with Huang Xie because he had saved them. Not to mention that Huang Xie was a handsome young man in the first place.
He wasn't this handsome before, but after awakening his physique and raising his cultivation, his looks had reached the point where he was called handsome.
But he couldn't be considered as handsome as Lin Fan yet.
Xi Xuan looked like she wanted to become his companion with the way that she kept pushing herself on him.
She was quite the beauty, which made Huang Xie feel awkward.
Beautiful people were always treated differently after all and his disciple wasn't someone that really had experience with girls.
So in the end, Lin Fan fell down from the sky and landed beside Huang Xie.
All of the mortals from the caravan moved away when they saw Lin Fan land before taking several steps back out of fear.
It was only Xi Xuan who seemed to stay near Huang Xie during this.
"My disciple and I were just passing through, but we'll be leaving now."
Lin Fan grabbed Huang Xie's arm and was about to lift him into the air.
But before he did, he added, "If you want to spread the fame of someone, spread the fame of Huang Xie from the Love Sect."
Huang Xie looked at Lin Fan with a confused look when he heard this, but he didn't resist as Lin Fan pulled him away.
"Love Sect…" Xi Xuan muttered under her breath before a determined look appeared in her eyes.
Lin Fan couldn't help shaking his head with a faint smile when he saw this.
But he had done his part in helping out Huang Xie, the rest was up to fate.
He knew that it wouldn't be the last time seeing Xi Xuan.
