Ever since Lin Fan left the Heaven Mountain City, it was as though his entire spirit had been given a great booster. Perhaps this had something to do with that promise back then.
In the past, when he had laid down the promise, he didn't think too much about it himself either. However, the stronger Lin Fan grew, the more he realized that promises as such were nudging him in his heart consistently. Perhaps, the shackles of the hearts could only be undone once he had fulfilled his promises.
After he had settled down Wang Xiaoliu's family situation properly, he finally felt relief. Seemed like he had to take extra caution not to just promise that easily anymore.
For someone such as Yours Truly who was always true to his words, promises were never things to be taken back.
With that, Cangling Continent no longer had any attachments left for Lin Fan.
