Zongwu: Start as Jinyiwei, invincible and powerful!

Lin Fan smiled and said, "You worked so hard to obtain this precious book, and now I've taken it away just like that. You won't hold a grudge against me?"

"No, absolutely not!"

This time, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling spoke in unison, without any deviation in their words.

Lin Fan said calmly, "I don't like taking advantage of others, so I can give you a reward. Wealth, beauty, or martial arts secrets. Choose one."

"Can I really choose?" Kou Zhong's eyes lit up and he asked with some anticipation.

Xu Ziling said, "You're not kidding us, are you?"

"This is the only chance. If you don't choose, then I'll leave," Lin Fan glanced at the two of them and said casually.

"Martial arts secrets! Let's choose martial arts secrets!" Kou Zhong shouted when he saw Lin Fan turning around to leave.

Kou Zhong was fed up with being bullied. Although he didn't know whether what Lin Fan said was true or not, he decided to give it a try.

"Please put on your clothes and come ashore first," Lin Fan stopped and said lightly.

"Yes, hero!"

The two of them agreed happily, quickly put on their clothes, and came to the shore.

Lin Fan pondered for a moment, then took out a copy of the Nine Yang Divine Art manual and gave it to the two of them. "After you memorize it, it's best to destroy it to prevent others from coveting it."

"Thank you, hero!"

The two took the secret book and were immediately overjoyed, thanking Lin Fan out loud.

At this time, the woman in white said calmly, "The two little brats have already missed the best age for martial arts training. If they practice now, they will not achieve anything at all."

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's expressions changed slightly when they heard this.

Kou Zhong asked Lin Fan, "Hero, is what she said true?"

"Normally, that's true," Lin Fan nodded slightly and continued,

"However, nothing is absolute. It all depends on your own luck. There are also many masters who achieve success late in life."

Upon hearing this, Kou Zhong's fighting spirit soared. "That's right, we can definitely succeed! The time wasn't right before, but now that we've met the hero, it's time for us to take off!"

"Thank you, hero. We will always remember your kindness in our hearts." Xu Ziling clasped his fists towards Lin Fan and thanked him out loud.

Lin Fan shook his head slightly. "This is just a deal. I hope you won't regret it."

Kou Zhong said loudly: "No regrets, we also know that the book may be extraordinary, but we can't understand it at all, so what's the point?"

Xu Ziling agreed: "Kou Zhong is right."

Lin Fan looked at the two people with sincere faces and felt a little embarrassed.

After a brief pause, Lin Fan said, "Besides the Nine Yang Divine Art, I have even better martial arts manuals."

"If you are willing to pledge allegiance to me, I can give you better secrets. What do you think?"

Lin Fan didn't want to accept the two of them at first, mainly because he thought that in the original book, they were too easily influenced by women.

However, Lin Fan suddenly thought that the world is different now. If he takes them away from Sui State directly, their development trajectories will naturally be different, and they will not be affected by Li Xiuning and Shi Feixuan.

Upon hearing this, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling exchanged a glance, and then Kou Zhong said, "Thank you for thinking highly of us, sir. However, we are both used to being free and undisciplined, so we are truly sorry."

"Okay, take care of yourself," Lin Fan nodded slightly without forcing them, and then turned around and left.

The woman in white glanced at Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, then suddenly chased after Lin Fan.

"Young Master Ling, do you think our choice is right?" After Lin Fan and the other two left, Kou Zhong asked Xu Ziling.

Xu Ziling said, "Whether it's right or wrong, I've already made my choice, so there's no need to regret it."

Kou Zhong said, "That's right. We brothers have had enough of being someone else's lackey."

"Now that I have the martial arts secret manual, I will naturally cultivate my skills, become a great master, and carve out a world of my own. Forget about being loyal to others."

……

Lin Fan naturally didn't know about the conversation between Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling after they left, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

Ever since he learned that the system’s sign-in rewards could include personalities, Lin Fan was no longer so eager for talent.

After all, the characters rewarded by the system are not only capable, but also 100% loyal.

This is the most worry-free way.

"Miss, why are you following us?" After walking for a distance with Lin Pingzhi, Lin Fan stopped in a forest by the river and asked lightly.

As soon as Lin Fan finished speaking, the woman in white appeared from the side of the forest.

The woman in white looked at Lin Fan and asked in a deep voice, "What exactly was that book just now? Why do you value it so much?"

Lin Fan smiled and said, "We don't seem to be familiar with each other, right? I don't even know her name, so why should I tell you?"

The woman in white hesitated for a moment and said, "My name is Fu Jun'er."

It really is her!

Lin Fan actually had some guesses in his mind, and now they were confirmed.

"So it's Miss Fu," Lin Fan nodded slightly, then said, "I wonder what the relationship is between Miss Fu and the Korean Yijian master Fu Cailin?"

Fu Jun'er's expression changed slightly. "Who are you? How do you know my master?"

"The Goryeo Sword Master Fu Cailin is as famous as the Sui Dynasty's wanderer Ning Daoqi and the Turkic martial arts master Bi Xuan," Lin Fan said calmly.

"It seems normal that I know Fu Cailin, right? I just didn't expect that the girl is actually Master Fu's disciple."

Fu Jun'er thought it made sense, so she stopped dwelling on the question and asked, "You haven't told me yet, what exactly is that book?"

"It's okay to tell you, that book is the secret of immortality that is widely circulated in the martial arts world," Lin Fan said casually with a faint smile.

"The secret of immortality?" Fu Jun'er was shocked when she heard this, and then she said angrily, "I was deceived by those two little brats!"

"Haha, they probably don't know that this is the secret of immortality. Moreover, even if they knew, they can't practice it," Lin Fan shook his head slightly and said nonchalantly.

Fu Jun'er looked at Lin Fan, her expression changing from one expression to another.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Why? Miss Fu wants to snatch the secret of immortality?"

Fu Jun'er was silent for a while, then said, "Mr. Lin, could you lend me the Secret of Immortality?"

"It's not impossible," Lin Fan rubbed his chin, pondered for a while, and said, "But I have a condition."

Except for Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, no one else can learn the secret of immortality, and Lin Fan is not afraid to show it to others.

Fu Jun'er asked, "I wonder what the conditions are?"

Lin Fan smiled slightly and said, "It's very simple. Miss Fu, please take off your hat and let me see your beautiful face. Then, please demonstrate the Yijian technique that Master Fu taught you. How about that?"

Anyway, I have nothing to do, so it's nice to tease a beautiful girl. And she seems to have two identical sisters, triple...

In addition, Lin Fan signed in with an incredible understanding. After watching Fu Jun'er perform the complete Yi sword technique, he should be able to master it directly.

When Fu Jun'er heard Lin Fan's words, her brows under her bamboo hat frowned slightly, and she hesitated a little.
