"You are right. If I encounter him again in the future, I will definitely make him pay!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly, exuding an even greater aura. In the Spirit Realm, tolerating others was akin to being cruel to oneself.
Lu Fan understood this perfectly. Letting them off today might lead to a fatal threat tomorrow.
Throughout the entire Spirit Realm, such incidents happened frequently. As long as one was a cultivator with talent, with diligent practice, they could ascend to higher paths in the future.
Not far from the tavern, Lin Qingbei steadied himself and let out a long sigh of relief. If he hadn't run fast, he would likely have died at Lu Fan's hands today.
"Young Master, we must leave here as soon as possible!" a man said. "If we encounter him, we will have nowhere to be buried!"
"I, Lin Qingbei, swear here and now that I will make them pay!"
Lin Qingbei's voice was icy. "If I fail to do so, may lightning strike me!"
"We will also follow you to the death, Young Master!"
Many men cupped their fists. Their only hope now was Lin Qingbei, and they would naturally remain loyal.
After leaving, they headed north. Lu Fan did the same; their destination was the North Sea Academy.
After several days of travel, they finally arrived at North Sea City, the territory governed by the North Sea Academy. To join the North Sea Academy, one had to register in North Sea City.
Furthermore, there was an explicit rule in North Sea City: no one was allowed to engage in combat, or they would be expelled from the city.
Upon entering North Sea City, Lin Qingbei finally breathed a sigh of relief. "We've finally arrived at North Sea City. We no longer need to worry about being killed!"
Several guards nodded quickly. In the past few days, they had clearly felt someone pursuing them. Any slight negligence would have resulted in their capture.
As they stepped into the city, Lu Fan also arrived at North Sea City, looking towards Lin Qingbei. "It seems my senses were correct. It was you all along!"
"You know too late!"
Lin Qingbei chuckled. "This is North Sea City. If you want to make a move against us here, you'd better think carefully!"
"What, you can't fight in North Sea City?"
Lu Fan smiled faintly. "How come I don't know about this rule in North Sea Village?"
"If you don't believe me, feel free to try!" Lin Qingbei said proudly. "North Sea City has an explicit rule that it is where the North Sea Academy recruits disciples. Anyone who dares to act recklessly here will be expelled from North Sea City!"
Lin Qingbei narrowed his eyes. "If someone kills here, they will also forfeit their life. This is not a joke."
"I see!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly and then looked at the notice board in North Sea City. It was indeed as Lin Qingbei had said. Within North Sea City, one could not act rashly, or they would break the rules of the North Sea Academy.
He hadn't expected the North Sea Academy to have so many rules, which was somewhat frustrating.
"Since fighting is not allowed in North Sea City, I naturally won't touch you!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "However, I heard that the North Sea Academy has strict admissions. With your aptitude, it's probably quite difficult to join the North Sea Academy!"
"That's my business. What does it have to do with you!"
With dissatisfaction in his expression, Lin Qingbei said coldly, "Don't forget that the reason my Lin family is in this state is all thanks to you. You are also the great enemy of my Lin family!"
"Don't worry, I won't forget!"
Lu Fan smiled slightly. "But you should know that if you truly join the North Sea Academy, I won't let you go. After all, if you can join the North Sea Academy, you pose a threat to me!"
"What, scared now!"
Lin Qingbei sneered, a faint cold glint in his eyes. In his opinion, Lu Fan was nothing, especially since this was North Sea City.
"You are too naive!" Lu Fan waved his hand. "However, with your aptitude, it's probably very uncertain."
After saying that, Lu Fan walked towards the tavern in North Sea City. He had been traveling for a long time and wanted to reward himself properly.
"Xiao Fan, if he can really join the North Sea Academy, it will be disadvantageous to you," Lin Ke said.
"I know that, but it's not easy to make a move against him right now!"
Lin Ke nodded slightly. What Lu Fan said was not wrong. Looking at the current situation, they could only take it one step at a time.
Inside the tavern, many people were conversing. These were all people preparing to join the North Sea Academy, but it seemed they had arrived too early. The North Sea Academy's recruitment was still a month away.
"It seems we've arrived early. We originally planned to enter the North Sea Academy directly after arriving in North Sea City, but now we have to wait another month!"
"Exactly. The North Sea Academy never announces the recruitment time each year, leaving us in the dark!"
"Don't talk nonsense here. If the instructors of the North Sea Academy hear you, you might not be able to handle it. Not only will you be unable to enter the North Sea Academy, but you might also be expelled from North Sea City!"
The conversations continued, and the crowd discussed animatedly.
Lu Fan sat to the side, listening silently. He didn't know much about the North Sea Academy and could gather a lot of information from these people.
"Recruitment starts in another month!"
Lin Ke said, "In this month, Brother Xiao Fan, you can improve your strength. Then you won't have to look at people's faces. After all, it's not easy to enter the academy!"
"Indeed, it's not easy!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly. "These people are not ordinary. Their strength is greater than those in Bai Xue City. As expected, there are many experts in this Spirit Realm."
"Naturally. Bai Shui City is just a small place, but this place is vastly different!"
Lin Ke said directly, his gaze appearing serious.
Lu Fan agreed with this statement.
Just then, Lin Qingbei swaggered in, looking smug and completely unfazed by Lu Fan.
If it weren't for Lu Fan, the Lin family would not have been destroyed. He naturally harbored great resentment towards Lu Fan, but unfortunately, he was no match for Lu Fan. Otherwise, he would have made Lu Fan pay.
"Young Master, the North Sea Academy's student recruitment is still a month away!" a guard said. "Should we leave North Sea City first?"
"Leave North Sea City?"
Lin Qingbei gave a wry smile. "Do you think we have the qualification to leave? With him watching us so intently, if we step out of North Sea City even once, our lives might be in danger!"
Following these words, several men nodded instantly. They completely agreed with Lin Qingbei's statement, but unfortunately, they were helpless and could only remain in this timid state.
