Chapter 144: Apologies and Hints
Windward Island.
Fan Mo and Fan Zhiyi, the masters of the Dan Pavilion, were wandering around the garden on the island.
"Zhiyi, you wanted to tease that Lin Fan in the first place, but it was really just because the other party robbed your Dan book at the auction, and there was no other reason?"
"Really second uncle, I haven't seen this person before that."
"That's good, anyway, it's your fault in the first place. After Lin Fan came after a while, you took the initiative to apologize to the other party."
"Huh? Okay......
After the two chatted for a while, they saw a boy come to report: "Master Qiqi, Danshi Lin Fan is asking to see him outside the island."
"You bring this man to the living room, and I'll be there in a moment." Fan Modao.
"Yes, sir." The boy then took the command and departed.
The other side.
Lin Fan, under the leadership of the boy, walked all the way to the mansion on the island.
As soon as he entered the island, he felt that the aura on the island was very abundant, which was twice as large as his Caiquan Island!
"It's not a loss where the Lord of the Purple Mansion Pavilion lives!" He couldn't help but be a little envious.
I was even thinking about what the blessed land where those Jindan ancestors lived should look like?
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he saw that the pavilion master Fan Mo had already greeted him at the door of the living room.
No matter what the other party said, he is also a genuine Purple Mansion Pavilion.
Being able to stand up and greet an inner disciple was already a great honor for him.
He hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand, "Disciple Lin Fan pays a visit to Pavilion Master Fan."
As he spoke, he handed over a basket of spiritual fruits and spiritual wine: "The disciple is here for the first time, and a little light gift is offered, and I hope that the pavilion master will not be surprised."
"Hahaha! If you can come, the old man will be very happy. I even brought a gift, which is so impressive." After Lord Fan finished speaking, he pulled Lin Fan and walked to the seat in the living room.
After discussing some Danshu-related topics with Lin Fan, Fan Ge Master changed his words and said, "I heard that you have some petty grudges with my niece Fan Zhiyi?"
"It's not a grudge, I just took a Dan Fang from Senior Sister Fan's hand......" Lin Fan said.
"I see, but anyway, my niece did something wrong. She happens to be here today, and I will tell her to come out and make amends to you."
Pavilion Master Fan said, shouting outward, "Zhiyi! Come here!"
A moment later, Fan Zhiyi walked in from outside.
She picked up a glass of spirit wine from the table, came to Lin Fan and bowed down and said, "This matter is wrong, and I ask Master Lin Dan to be magnanimous and be able to forgive me."
Lin Fan saw that the other party was sincere, and this was originally a trivial matter. Besides, a daughter of a Purple Mansion family can do this with great sincerity.
He immediately picked up the other party's toast, drank it all, and said, "How can I worry about trivial matters."
"Good, good!" Seeing that the two had successfully reconciled, Fan Mo happily drank three cups in a row.
Then, he said to his niece on the side, "Zhiyi, I still have something to talk about with Master Lin Dan, you go down first."
"Zhiyi retires." After Fan Zhiyi gave a salute, he turned around and left the house.
Seeing this, Master Fan continued to talk to Lin Fan about alchemy.
In short, it is how difficult it is for Danshi to be alone, and he needs to be guided by a famous teacher in order to achieve something, and so on.
As he spoke, he told a story.
The protagonist of the story is a monk with a talent for alchemy, and he originally had an extremely bright future.
But because of a mistake by the other party, he didn't worship a high master, so he made very slow progress in cultivation and Danshu.
In the end, more than 100 years later, because it failed to step into the foundation building period, it turned into a handful of loess with endless unwillingness.
After speaking, he also sighed, "If this monk had been able to worship under a high master earlier, there would not have been such a tragic end."
In short, between his words, he expressed his intention to accept the other party as a disciple, which could not be more obvious.
I almost said directly to my face that I wanted to accept the other party
In vain.
After all, he is a cabinet master in a high position, and he still needs to save face, so he adopts this method of knocking on the side.
How many people begged to worship under his door, and he was confident that as long as he revealed the idea of accepting disciples, then Lin Fan would definitely take the initiative to speak.
But what he never expected was that Lin Fan nodded in agreement with his point of view, and at the same time, he kept silent about the apprenticeship!
"What's the situation? Am I too late? This person has already visited the teacher?"
"No, I haven't heard of it, someone in the Blood Yang Sect has taken him as a disciple?"
"You can't be afraid of apprenticeship, you have a phobia of apprenticeship, right?"
However, this possibility was too outrageous, and he vetoed it himself after thinking about it.
In the end, after several hints to no avail, Fan Ge Master could only reluctantly end the conversation.
Anyway, as long as the other party is still serving in the Lidan Pavilion, plus he keeps a little more eye on it, then it is impossible for the other party to be poached by others.
In short, maybe you are too anxious, let the other party breathe a sigh of relief first, and think about it for a while.
If it really doesn't work, it's a big deal that he will let out this old face, use his connections, and forcibly take it into his own door!
……
A few days later.
Zhangjia Chamber.
The patriarch and several elders took the results of the investigation that had just arrived, and opened the family meeting again.
"Judging from the results of the investigation, Lin Fan and Nagu Huan are just ordinary friends. It shouldn't be for Gu Huan's affairs, so as to make a mess of our Zhang family, right?"
"Definitely not. In my opinion, Zhang Pingyuan must have offended this person before his death. After all, Pingyuan's virtue must be understood by everyone. His favorite thing to do in his lifetime was to bully those disciples who had no roots."
"Well, that's the most likely thing."
"However, Pingyuan has been dead for more than ten years, and it is not realistic to ask him to make amends to the other party."
"Although Pingyuan is dead, isn't his father still in the clan? The son does not teach his father's fault, so let his old father go to make amends to Na Lin Fan on his behalf."
"That's not good, no matter what our Zhang family says, it's also a foundation building family that has been inherited for hundreds of years. For this kind of thing, let the disciples in the clan apologize to each other, I'm afraid it will make my Zhang family lose face!"
Seeing that the elders were arguing, the Great Elder made a final statement and said, "The situation is already obvious, that Lin Fan doesn't like our Zhang family at most. In this case, our Zhang family will not associate with them in the future, and we will not be guilty of apologizing to the other party."
"Still, it's unlikely. But in case the other party is really because of Gu Huan's matter, there is an irreconcilable contradiction with our Zhang family. I suggest sending that Zhang Yu to go again and test the other party."
"That way, we'll have complete peace of mind."
"I second!"
"I second!"
"I second!"
Seeing that all the elders had agreed to the Great Elder's proposal, the Patriarch stood up and said, "Since everyone has no opinion, then I will arrange this matter."
