The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 260

Chapter 260: I Thought It Was a Major Issue, But It Turns Out to Be Such a Trifle?

In the grand hall of Black Devil Peak, Zhong Yan sat on a rosewood chair, sipping spiritual tea, her eyebrows deeply furrowed in concern over some matter. Bai Jinkun, on the other hand, dared not sit nor even drink the tea, pacing back and forth instead.

Zhong Yan frowned. "Senior brother, stop pacing; you're making me dizzy. Sit down."

Bai Jinkun shook his head. "No, I cannot sit, I must not sit."

Zhong Yan looked puzzled. "Why? What's stopping you from sitting? This is Black Devil Peak, not the main peak where our master resides."

Bai Jinkun forced a smile and couldn't help but advise, "Junior sister, I've said it before, just leave now. Do not start a feud with Lin... junior brother Lin over this matter."

Zhong Yan massaged her temples. "I just wanted to swap some of my holdings for those of Junior brother Lin . How is that picking a fight? Besides, Lin Fan's power is far below ours, so what if we do confront him?"

Zhong Yan snorted coldly. "I still want to ask why, after visiting twice in person, he refuses to even see me! Does he really think I would care about any so-called fraternal bonds?"

At this point, a cold light flashed in Zhong Yan's eyes. Clearly, being snubbed twice had greatly irritated her.

Bai Jinkun stood beside her, speechless. He dared not say more, for that Nascent Soul grandmaster had warned them not to reveal anything on that night. The only request was for them to leave him in peace.

"Oh, senior... I'm not deliberately disturbing your peace; I've already tried to dissuade her several times, to no avail—it's like preaching to the damned dead," Bai Jinkun sighed inwardly.

Just then, footsteps echoed at the entrance of the hall. Zhong Yan looked up to see a figure walking into the hall, as handsome as a jade sculpture and as elegant as a refined scholar—it was her junior brother Lin Fan.

When she first met Lin Fan years ago, she thought he had a fine appearance and might become a cultivation partner, elevating each other.

But over the years, Lin Fan's cultivation progress was pitifully slow, and she had long surpassed him, abandoning any other aspirations concerning him.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Bai and Sister Zhong," Chu Xuan said with a smile. Zhong Yan snorted, her tone neither warm nor cold.

"Junior brother Lin, you certainly know how to show courtesy in person. But counting this visit, I have come to see you three times now. I want to ask you, why do you continue to refuse to meet? Making me face a closed door?"

Listening to her tone, Bai Jinkun couldn't help but close his eyes. It was too embarrassing to watch.

Chu Xuan smiled gently, "I was indeed at a critical point in my cultivation and couldn't leave. I ask for senior sister's forgiveness."

His demeanor took Zhong Yan by surprise. It felt as though her forceful punch had landed on a soft, yielding cushion.

"Senior sister and senior brother have visited three times; it must be important," Chu Xuan remarked, glancing at Bai Jinkun.

Bai Jinkun felt a shiver run down his spine under that gaze and quickly waved his hands, "I'm not here for myself. It's Zhong Yan who wanted to come. I advised her not to disturb Junior brother Lin over such trivial matters, but she wouldn't listen."

Zhong Yan looked at Bai Jinkun, bewildered. What did this mean? The strongest under the tutelage of the Myriad Souls Elder was showing such deference to the weakest among them, Lin Fan.

The words he had chosen seemed designed to distance himself from any involvement with her. It was as though he didn't want to have anything to do with her at all. Zhong Yan couldn't figure out why but decided not to dwell on it.
