The Four Apertures Nascent Soul could not break free from Jiang Fan’s Soul Capturing Lock.
In a breath, her soul was bound by invisible chains, losing control over her body.
Her heart was filled with utter terror.
She watched helplessly as Jiang Fan drew a Purple Sword and placed it against her throat.
She could not move at all.
A massive shadow of death loomed over her, causing her soul to emit a trembling scream of fear.
Fortunately, the sword tip rested against her throat and did not penetrate further.
Jiang Fan said coldly, "Do you understand now who was being presumptuous?"
Fairy Ci Ning was utterly terrified.
Cold sweat poured from her forehead.
She finally understood that the young man before her could kill her with the utmost ease!
Clang!
With a twist of his wrist, Jiang Fan sliced off a lock of her hair and retracted the Soul Capturing Lock.
Fairy Ci Ning regained control of her body, stumbled backward in fright, and watched Jiang Fan with grave intensity:
"You, you are who to Qian Lan?"
Jiang Fan raised the Purple Sword, blew off a hair strand, and said indifferently:
"You should be glad she’s not home, so you didn’t do anything to her."
"Otherwise, it wouldn’t just be hair that got cut!"
The implication was that he would kill her for Qian Lan Fairy.
Fairy Ci Ning swallowed hard and quickly said, "Friend, you speak too seriously."
"It’s just a matter between juniors and will not escalate to seniors."
"I shall take my leave."
She grabbed her disciple and hurried away.
Clang!
The sound of Jiang Fan sheathing his sword frightened her to the core, and she opted to fly rather than walk, fleeing in disgrace.
Such a person who bullies the weak and fears the strong, knowing that Qian Lan Fairy has someone difficult behind her, will no longer dare to bully her wantonly.
She might even proactively curry favor with Qian Lan Fairy.
After that.
Jiang Fan turned to the shocked Wan An, got straight to the point:
"From Ci Ning’s tone, you’re pursuing Qian Lan Fairy."
"I have no objections, but I hope you’ll be more considerate when your strength is lacking."
"If you have neither, please keep your distance."
"Can you do that?"
Wan An’s face alternated between shades of green and red.
Knowing he’s been seen through by the illegitimate child of Qian Lan Fairy, he showed a face of shame and cupped his hands before leaving.
He’s given up.
With such an impressive illegitimate child protecting Qian Lan Fairy, he best not make a fool of himself.
Dong dong dong!
Right then.
The Fire Worship Sect’s main hall resounded with three long chimes.
This was the disciples’ assembly order.
Wan An’s demeanor became stern, and he immediately proceeded to the main hall.
From the sect hierarch to the Foundation Establishment Realm disciples, all were present.
Upon seeing Wan An arrive.
His few friends winked and moved aside to make room for him.
Only when he got closer did he realize he was next to Qian Lan Fairy.
Apparently, his friends were trying to matchmake him.
Previously, he would have been happy about it and approached with kind words and concern.
He might even have joked to make the beauty smile.
But this time, he retreated to the back row, not daring to stand next to Qian Lan Fairy.
