Qiaoqian's Affection, Senior Brother Lin

"Is it her?"

Li Yunfan looked at the woman flying towards him, somewhat surprised.

"I never expected to run into my senior brother here. Senior brother... Senior brother actually succeeded in establishing his foundation?" When Chen Qiaoqian realized that she couldn't see through Li Yunfan's cultivation level, the surprise on her face instantly turned into shock.

"I've managed to successfully establish my foundation," Li Yunfan said with a slight smile.

A glint of wonder flashed in Chen Qiaoqian's beautiful eyes, and she was even more amazed at how quickly Li Yunfan's cultivation had progressed.

"Master...Master Aunt is truly exceptionally talented!" Chen Qiaoqian said, a blush suddenly appearing on her face, as if she had just thought of something.

"Junior sister, please continue to call me senior brother! Calling me 'uncle' makes me feel very old..." Li Yunfan said, touching his nose.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say, Senior Brother!" Chen Qiaoqian said, biting her lower lip lightly, her eyes filled with joy.

Li Yunfan smiled and nodded, and then neither of them spoke again, and an awkward atmosphere gradually filled the air.

"Ahem! What brings you here, Junior Sister?" Li Yunfan coughed lightly, breaking the awkward silence with his question.

"I just received a mission to kill a demonic beast from the Hundred Machines Hall and was preparing to leave the valley for the Taiyue Mountains when I unexpectedly ran into my senior brother..." Chen Qiaoqian's face still had a blush on it. She glanced at Li Yunfan's face and said softly.

Li Yunfan naturally noticed the other party's subtle actions. Seeing the shy look on her pretty face, a strange thought couldn't help but arise in his mind.

"Could it be that Chen Qiaoqian has developed feelings for me?"

Although Chen Qiaoqian did not become Han Li's Daoist partner in the original timeline, she still had some inexplicable interactions with him and left some complicated feelings in Han Li's heart.

But now this "Senior Sister Chen" has actually developed feelings for him, which has left Li Yunfan feeling somewhat confused.

Just then, Chen Qiaoqian suddenly showed a hesitant expression on her face. Then, as if she had made up her mind, she raised her head and looked into Li Yunfan's eyes, asking a question that Li Yunfan had not expected.

"When Qiaoqian first met her senior brother, he talked about his future Daoist partner. At that time, he said that no matter who his future Daoist partner was, she would always be the most beautiful woman in the world in his heart. Qiaoqian wants to ask... what are your requirements for your future Daoist partner?"

After Chen Qiaoqian finished speaking, a glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes as she looked at Li Yunfan, and her face showed a look of great anticipation.

Li Yunfan thought to himself, "I'm doomed." He never expected Chen Qiaoqian to be so bold as to ask such a question!

He only intended to tease the other person, which is why he said those words in a somewhat affected manner. If he had known it would lead to such consequences, he should have pretended not to know the other person that day!

Right now, Li Yunfan just wants to slap himself twice...

Seeing the change in Li Yunfan's expression, Chen Qiaoqian's heart sank slightly, and her eyes dimmed.

Upon seeing this, Li Yunfan was suddenly overwhelmed with an indescribable feeling, and inexplicably blurted out his innermost emotions.

"Ideally, she'd be like my junior sister..."

As soon as he said that, Li Yunfan knew things were going to go wrong.

Sure enough, upon hearing his words, Chen Qiaoqian's eyes suddenly lit up with a new light, and her cheeks instantly flushed with embarrassment.

"Qiaoqian understands..." Chen Qiaoqian, her cheeks flushed, said in a weak voice as she lowered her head.

After saying that, she glanced at Li Yunfan with a flirtatious look, then turned and flew away with a happy expression...

Li Yunfan's lips twitched slightly, and he sighed helplessly in his heart. What kind of mess is this!

Just then, he suddenly heard Chen Qiaoqian's emotional voice.

"Senior brother, Qiaoqian will definitely break through to the Foundation Establishment realm as soon as possible and won't keep you waiting!"

Watching the beautiful figure disappear into the horizon, Li Yunfan remained silent. How could he not hear the emotions contained in her words?

Since arriving in this world, all he had thought about was how to survive better. It wasn't until he accidentally ate a spiritual fruit and activated his Fire Spirit Body that he changed his mind and started thinking about how to cling to Han Li's coattails to achieve immortality...

It could be said that he had never considered his own feelings, but now, facing such a beautiful woman who dared to love, he began to hesitate.

"It seems my appearance has indeed affected the original timeline, otherwise Chen Qiaoqian wouldn't have developed feelings for me... But I will definitely have to leave Huangfeng Valley in the future, and as the eldest daughter of the Chen family, would she really abandon her family for me?"

Thoughts flashed through Li Yunfan's mind, and he was somewhat at a loss for what to do about this unexpected affection.

"well……"

After letting out a deep sigh, Li Yunfan decided to put the matter aside for the time being and planned to explain it to the other party properly at a later time.

Gathering his jumbled thoughts, Li Yunfan looked once more at the mountain range where his senior brother Lin was.

A moment later, he piloted the flying leaf shuttle slowly toward the mountain ridge.

After landing on the cluster of flat houses on the mountain ridge, Li Yunfan immediately recalled the memory of coming here to receive the new disciple's items. Following the location in his memory, he headed towards the stone house where Senior Brother Lin lived deep inside.

"Senior Brother Lin, my name is Li Yunfan, and I have come to pay my respects to you!" Li Yunfan called out to the stone house.

Although the other party did not stop him or ask any questions until he reached the stone house, Li Yunfan was certain that this Senior Brother Lin had already sensed his presence when he landed on the mountain ridge.

After all, the other party had already successfully cultivated the third level of the Great Evolution Technique, and his cultivation level was a small realm higher than his own. His divine sense was strong enough to be comparable to that of a pseudo-core cultivator, so how could he not detect him?

"Li Yunfan? I don't think I've heard of you among the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the valley. Are you a newly advanced disciple?" Senior Brother Lin's somewhat weathered voice came from inside the stone house.

"Senior brother guessed correctly, I have indeed just advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage!"

As soon as Li Yunfan finished speaking, an old man with disheveled hair dressed in gray clothes walked out of the stone house.

"Junior Brother, since you've just established your foundation, why aren't you cultivating properly in your cave? Why did you come to my residence?" Senior Brother Lin asked, his dim eyes looking at Li Yunfan.

"I've heard that Senior Brother Lin enjoys carving, and I'm quite interested in it, so I've come uninvited. Please forgive me, Senior Brother!" Li Yunfan said calmly with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Senior Brother Lin's dim eyes flickered slightly, then he said coldly, "Since you know you came rashly, Junior Brother, then leave! I, Lin, am merely here to pass the time and play around; I am not worthy of your attention!"

After saying that, he turned and walked into the house, clearly indicating that he didn't want to say anything more to Li Yunfan.

Li Yunfan's eyes flashed, a confident smile playing on his lips, and he spoke calmly.

"What if it concerns the Thousand Bamboo Sect?"
