I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

Chapter 1073: Triumphant Return

On a mysterious ocean realm in the West Sea of the Tai Chu Continent.

An Lin and Lan Xiaoni had already been in the tomb for close to twenty days.

The High Priest of the Heavenly Turtle Tribe, Gu Yu, was floating lazily on the water, awaiting their return.

The High Priest of the Spirit Fish Clan, Yu Feiyu, spread its palms and faced the sky. A multicolored ball of water in its hands suddenly began to tremor. A vibrant smile appeared on its face. “The tomb’s exit has already been opened. They’re coming back.”

“Oh? They’re even faster than I thought they would be.” A smile appeared on Gu Yu’s face as well.

Both of the High Priests were quite elated.

The fact that the tomb had reopened meant that both of them were about to make safe returns. Hence, there was a very good chance that they had recovered the information regarding the fate and future of the two tribes. This was something worthy of celebration for both sides.

A spatial rift appeared, and three Spirit Fish Clan living beings with powerful auras emerged from within.

The man at the forefront of the party with blue hair and golden eyes laughed heartily. “Hahaha… I’ve predicted that my daughter will make a triumphant return today. How could I be absent on such an occasion?”

The man was none other than the clan leader of the Spirit Fish Clan, the Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure, Lan Xingyang!

A young man with golden hair rolled his eyes. “What do you mean you predicted this, Dad? It was clearly because the tomb and the Hong Meng Sacrificial Altar didn’t need any more energy to maintain, thereby alerting you to this!”

Lan Xingyang glared at the young man behind him with a displeased expression.

At this moment, another handsome man from the Spirit Fish Clan said with a smile, “I hope that my little sister can return safely and give us a good surprise.”

Gu Yu chortled with mirth as it slapped the sea below it. “Are you two kidding me? That sniveling mermaid princess that cries at the sight of An Lin is going to bring you a surprise? Maybe she’ll bring back some bricks from the tomb? Hahaha…”

The Spirit Fish Clan were already aware that An Lin had entered the tomb.

Hence, Gu Yu couldn’t be bothered hiding the fact that An Lin was in there and just referred to him by his name.

There was a massive power gap between An Lin and Lan Xiaoni. Lan Xingyang and the other Spirit Fish Clan living beings were also aware of this. As such, it was a joke that they still had hope for Lan Xiaoni!

The male mermaid with yellow hair nodded in agreement. “I think Senior Gu Yu is right. With my older sister’s power level, it would be a miracle if she didn’t die in that tomb! How can you expect a surprise from her?”

The handsome male mermaid chuckled. “My father and High Priest Yu Feiyu have both predicted through divination that little sister will bring a surprise with her upon her return. Do you have a problem with that?”

The golden-haired mermaid: “Big brother, do you have some kind of misunderstanding about the concept of divination?”

At this moment, Lan Xingyang interjected with a smile. “Lan Xiaohuang, your big brother is right. This is a very high-end divination method known as bootstrap divination, in which divination is performed based on what I say!”

“Gasp…”

Everyone drew a sharp intake of breath upon hearing this.

Tina and the Jade Bone Immortal Bug, who were situated behind Gu Yu, stared with incredulity at the Spirit Fish Clan family standing before them. Were these really masters of star divination techniques? Why did everything seem like a sham?!

Yu Feiyu also couldn’t help but interject here. “Gu Yu, you are too short-sighted. Their current power levels do not mean anything in the context of the future. Lan Xiaoni is blessed by the fortune of the entire Spirit Fish Clan, so how can a human possibly compare?”

Gu Yu wobbled its head from side to side as it spoke with a profound expression, “And how would you know what I’ve seen? No matter who it is, as long as they can rescue the Heavenly Turtle Tribe from a fate of destruction and usher in a new era, our Heavenly Turtle Tribe will champion them.”

Both sides expressed their opinions, and there seemed to be a few sparks flying in the air.

At this moment, a huge splash erupted.

The two main characters in question were about to take the stage.

A smile appeared on Lan Xingyang’s face. “You’re finally back, Little Ni. Do you have any injuries?”

The smile on his face widened at the sight of the spirited Lan Xiaoni.

“Giant An Lin!”

“Master!”

The two beast pets also flew toward An Lin.

“How was your trip, Mr. An Lin?” Gu Yu also inquired with a smile.

“Haha, it was a very fruitful one.” A triumphant smile appeared on An Lin’s face.

Gu Yu, Tina, and the Jade Bone Immortal Bug were all elated to hear this.

In contrast, High Priest Yu Feiyu turned to Lan Xiaoni with a nervous expression.

“I’m fine, Father. On top of that, I’ve reaped some rewards too!” A sweet smile appeared on Lan Xiaoni’s face.

Lan Xingyang was ecstatic upon hearing this. “Oh? What is it? The treasures left behind by the High Priest and the High Priestess? Or important information regarding the two tribes?”

“Er… Big Boss An Lin has all of the treasures and information,” Lan Xiaoni replied with an awkward smile.

Lan Xingyang’s lips twitched upon hearing this.

What the f*ck?! If An Lin had both the treasures and the information, what other rewards could she have possibly reaped?

Lan Xiaohuang suddenly picked up on something. “Wait! Big Sister, you just said Big Boss An Lin? Did I hear that correctly?”

Everyone also came to the same realization and turned to look at Lan Xiaoni with incredulity on their faces.

A deep blush appeared on Lan Xiaoni’s intricate features, and she offered a feeble explanation, “Um… Big Boss An Lin took great care of me inside the tomb, so that’s why I’m referring to him as Big Boss An Lin…”

An Lin nodded in confirmation. “That’s right. Lan Xiaoni is my most recent underling!”

Yu Feiyu’s rainbow water ball almost fell into the ocean.

Lan Xiaoni’s two brothers were stupefied.

Lan Xingyang drew a sharp intake of breath.

Gu Yu slapped its own head abruptly. “What’s going on here? My divination clearly told me that Lan Xiaoni was going to be a major enemy to An Lin! Are my skills waning with age?”

Tina and the Jade Bone Immortal Bug didn’t think there was anything amiss. An Lin always liked to recruit underlings wherever he went. This was quite a normal occurrence in their eyes.

“Master, our big family has another member!”

“Giant An Lin, is the big sister mermaid part of the slave team, the beast pet team, or the disciple team?”

“Er… She’s part of none of those teams. There is no contract between us, so it’s just a verbal arrangement at the moment…” An Lin explained.

Lan Xingyang shot a glance at An Lin before turning to Lan Xiaoni with a nervous expression.

Lan Xingyang took a deep breath to calm himself down and reluctantly accepted this startling development. His daughter had become the underling to the indirect murderer of her fiance. If his daughter didn’t think there was anything wrong with that arrangement, then he didn’t really have anything to say either.

As for how the Black Fox Tribe felt?

Those were just pawns he was planning to discard after using anyway, so he didn’t care.

Lan Xingyang opened his mouth to speak again.

“Didn’t you say he took good care of you in the tomb? Why does he have all of the treasures and information…”

“Big Boss An Lin ensured my safety!” A sweet smile appeared on Lan Xiaoni’s face.

Lan Xingyang: “…”

Her two brothers: “…”

If she died, the tomb would attack An Lin! It was almost an obligation of his to protect her!

Countless stars flashed past Yu Feiyu’s eyes as it scanned Lan Xiaoni’s entire body.

Huh, that’s weird. She isn’t under the influence of any hypnotic spell techniques…
