"You! You... really killed Chen Xiao!" Ni Chang’s eyes widened, completely bewildered.
She had never expected Lin Fan to actually dare to make a move and kill Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao was soone from the First Grade Chen Family!
Although.
Within the Chen Family, Chen Xiao was not very favored, but he was a legitimate family mber!
By killing Chen Xiao just like that, wouldn’t Lin Fan... offend the Chen Family? Even though the Law Enforcent Envoy wouldn’t do anything to Lin Fan for the ti being, once the Heavenly Pride Conference ended, the Chen Family would still not let Lin Fan off.
"Killed him, so what?" Lin Fan turned his head, looking at Ni Chang with an indifferent counter-question.
"You!"
Ni Chang was completely infuriated, Lin Fan’s indifferent attitude making her want to explode with anger.
However, Lin Fan ignored Ni Chang and turned his head to Xiao Wu with a faint smile, "Let’s go back."
"Go back where?"
"To your place, of course."
"Uh... okay... okay!" Xiao Wu nodded obediently, turning to leave with Lin Fan.
Only Ni Chang was left standing in place, completely ignored by Lin Fan.
"Lin Fan! You... rember this, you will regret it!" Ni Chang stamped her foot in rage.
...
Shortly after.
Lin Fan and Xiao Wu returned to the small courtyard.
The atmosphere beca very warm.
That evening, Xiao Wu brought over osmanthus cake and mung bean cake, and this ti Lin Fan did not refuse, but began to taste them in front of Xiao Wu.
"Not bad, quite delicious," Lin Fan sincerely praised.
It had to be said that Xiao Wu’s culinary skills were good, both cakes were very soft and lted in the mouth.
"Really? Thank you! But... I ca to bid you farewell tonight..." Xiao Wu’s deanor was sowhat subdued.
"What? You’re leaving?" Lin Fan was sowhat surprised.
Xiao Wu was silent for a second, then nodded, "Yes, my father has already learned about the incident with Ye Yun, and just now, our family used the Thousand Miles Voice Transmission to tell to return to the Xiao family first thing tomorrow morning, so... I probably have to go back..."
"What will the Xiao family do to you after you return?" Lin Fan frowned.
There was originally no entanglent between him and Xiao Wu.
However, today at the City Lord Mansion, Xiao Wu clearly took the initiative to protect him once.
Even though this protection, to Lin Fan, was the sa with or without.
But.
Because Lin Fan killed Ye Yun, it involved Xiao Wu, and it wouldn’t be fair to let Xiao Wu face the family’s wrath alone, would it?
"I don’t know yet... but my Xiao family is only a Fourth Grade family, compared to the Third Grade Ye Family, we’re simply not on the sa level, and I’m afraid that my Xiao family will agree to whatever conditions the Ye Family proposes," Xiao Wu smiled bitterly, silent for a few seconds before smiling at Lin Fan, "But don’t worry, now that you’re participating in the Heavenly Pride Conference, the Ye Family wouldn’t dare to do anything to you!"
"Just stay in Golden City, and in about ten more days, you can move on to the next city to participate in the further Heavenly Pride Competition!"
Even at this mont, Xiao Wu was still considering Lin Fan.
Lin Fan frowned and smiled, "In that case, I shall accompany you to the Xiao family!"
"Ah?"
Xiao Wu was stunned.
Incredulous, she looked at Lin Fan, having not expected such a response from him, to accompany her to the Xiao family?
"You..."
"I’m serious," Lin Fan nodded, giving Xiao Wu a faint smile, "Going to the Xiao family might make things better, after all, I’m the one who killed Ye Yun."
"But... what if the Ye Family decides to deal with you? The Ye Family is a Third Grade power... you..." Xiao Wu’s brow was tightly furrowed, shaking her head, she said: "No, you can’t co with back ho!"
"Haha!"
Lin Fan laughed confidently and said: "Rest assured, the Ye Family can do nothing to ! Don’t forget, I even fear not the Ninth Rank Venerable Sage; what can the Ye Family do, do they have a Ninth Rank Venerable Sage?"
"This... this they do not. As far as I know, the strongest elder of the Ye Family is only an Eighth Rank Venerable Sage, and the rest of the elders are at the Seventh and Sixth Rank of cultivation..." Xiao Wu shook her head.
"Then there you have it. I can instantly kill a Sixth Rank Venerable Sage. Seventh and Eighth Rank Venerable Sages are almost the sa to ; don’t worry. Tomorrow morning, we’ll go to the Xiao family together," Lin Fan stated with an air of nonchalance.
"But..."
"What’s there to ’but’ about? Ye Yun’s identity is just the son of a Ye Family steward; at most, he has so real power in his hands! Even if we take a step back, do you think the elder ancestors of the Ye Family would beco enemies with your Xiao family over a son of a steward?" Lin Fan chuckled as he shook his head.
In his view, Ye Yun was nothing but a paper tiger!
"This..." Xiao Wu furrowed her brows slightly.
"Think about it again, would your Xiao family’s Family Head make life difficult for a Fifth Grade power over a steward’s son?" Lin Fan asked rhetorically.
"Of course not!"
This ti, Xiao Wu answered decisively, "That would be ridiculous for our Xiao family!"
"See, there you go? The few elder ancestors of the Ye Family won’t trouble your Xiao family—it’s an overthinking on your part," Lin Fan said with a smile, "Listen, tomorrow morning, I will go visit the Xiao family with you!"
Seeing Lin Fan so insistent, Xiao Wu did not continue to object.
"Okay!"
In Xiao Wu’s beautiful eyes, a trace of softness erged, as she obediently nodded, "Thank you, Lin Fan."
"No need for thanks."
...
...
The next morning.
Lin Fan and Xiao Wu, using the Transmission Array, left Golden City.
The location of the Xiao family was about six hundred thousand li from Golden City.
For the vast Divine Wind Continent, a distance of six hundred thousand li was not considered far at all.
After being transported through the Transmission Array four or five tis and spending the whole morning, Lin Fan and Xiao Wu arrived at the city where the Xiao family was located.
This was a city with a population of re tens of millions and was not very large.
There were seven or eight Fourth Grade families in the city, and among them was the Xiao family.
At this mont.
Inside the main hall of the Xiao family, Ye Yueqing was sitting in the Family Head’s seat, his face full of anger.
The rest of the Xiao family stood around the hall; none dared to sit, each with an ugly expression on their face.
"Family Head Xiao, won’t you give an explanation?" Ye Yueqing asked with a grave expression, "My son, Ye Yun, went to Golden City with your daughter, Xiao Wu, and ended up dead in Golden City. Had it not been for the news sent back, I would have been unaware of this matter!"
"Steward Ye, this is all a misunderstanding! I have already sent word to Xiao Wu. She will certainly return to the Xiao family today and give you a satisfactory explanation!" Xiao Hui said embarrassingly.
This was initially supposed to be a good thing.
According to Xiao Hui’s plan, having Ye Yun and Xiao Wu go to Golden City together would foster a relationship between them.
Once Xiao Wu married into the Ye Family, with Ye Yun’s cultivation talent, he could beco notable within the Xiao family in the future.
Who could have foreseen such a turn of events? That Ye Yun would actually be killed during the Heavenly Pride Conference?
"Misunderstanding? Uncle, I don’t think it’s rely a misunderstanding. Maybe it’s Xiao Wu’s paramour from outside! Otherwise, how could Xiao Rong have sent back word saying that young man nad Lin Fan stayed with Xiao Wu in a hidden courtyard for three days and three nights? What can happen in three days and three nights? Uncle surely knows, right?" Xiao Qi said with an insinuating smile.
The people of the Xiao family only knew of the death of Ye Yun.
But they did not know that Lin Fan also wiped out Chen Xiao and crippled the arm of the Law Enforcent Envoy from the Heavenly Pride Conference.
"Xiao Qi, keep your mouth shut!" Xiao Hui’s face looked extrely troubled.
"What’s wrong? Uncle, when your own daughter makes a mistake, you don’t want others to speak of it? Did Xiao Qi say anything wrong?" Another middle-aged man coldly snorted.
