Chapter 570: Completely Ignored

In the midst of astonished and doubtful exclamations from the crowd, a figure abruptly appeared before many powerful experts. Although his frame wasn’t particularly broad or imposing, to the members of the Dark Gate, he seemed like a towering mountain piercing the sky…

The newcomer was none other than Xiao Yufan, who had rushed over upon hearing the news. Behind him stood Huangpu Xian’er, dressed in a simple green robe, her long hair flowing like a waterfall.

“Master, darling!”

Xiao Dao, Tianxuan, and the others could no longer suppress their nearly shattered emotions; their voices trembled slightly…

Especially Tianxuan and Dongfang Yanran, their delicate figures quivered faintly at this moment. When this man reappeared before them, they no longer yearned for anything else—just hoping he would remain safe and well.

Amidst the astonished murmurs of the crowd, a figure suddenly appeared before the many powerful individuals. Though his frame was not particularly broad, to the members of the secret sect, he loomed like a towering mountain…

The newcomer was Xiao Yufan, who had rushed over upon hearing the news. Behind him stood Huangpu Xian’er, clad in a green robe, her long hair flowing in the wind.

“Young Master! Husband!”

Xiao Dao, Tian Xuan, and the others could no longer suppress their nearly shattered emotions, their voices trembling slightly…

Especially Tian Xuan and Dongfang Yanran, whose delicate bodies quivered at this moment. When this man appeared before them again, they no longer desired anything else, only wishing for his well-being.

With a slight nod, a warm current surged in Xiao Yufan’s heart. He still had so many brothers and women who loved him. If he had truly died at the hands of the old dog from the hidden Guo family this time, he might never have felt this warmth again.

“Who are you? This is a matter between the Luan family and the secret sect, you…”

“Enough of your noise! An old dog like you should be resting at home instead of running around and bossing the younger generation. After all these years, you’ve truly lived like a dog!”

Before the Luan family patriarch could finish, Xiao Yufan’s icy voice had already spread. How could he not know the relationship between the Yuan Gang and the Luan family? But they had also thought that if the Yuan Gang was in trouble, the Luan family would indeed step forward. It seemed the Yuan Gang was of utmost importance to the Luan family.

“Young man, not everyone can afford to be arrogant. There are some matters you can’t handle…”

A hot-tempered member of the Luan family, upon hearing Xiao Yufan’s words, immediately flared up. Ignoring the subtle hint from the Luan patriarch, he charged forward. But in the next second, this man, who was at the Qi Condensation level, fell to the ground, while Xiao Yufan hadn’t even moved.

Naturally, it was Huangpu Xian’er who had acted. She would not allow anyone to disrespect her man, not even these old fools.

Hisses of astonishment echoed around, and everyone’s expressions changed, including Nangong Qianliu. To incapacitate a Qi Condensation expert with a single strike—how terrifying must this woman’s strength be?

If Nangong Qianliu had previously taken advantage of Tianyi’s distraction to strike him down, that could be understood. But for Huangpu Xian’er to achieve this against a Qi Condensation expert at full strength proved that her power was at least on par with, if not greater than, Nangong Qianliu’s.

“If I’m not mistaken, you must be the hidden young master of the secret sect. You’re much younger than I imagined!”

Nangong Qianliu’s face darkened, especially upon hearing Dongfang Yanran and Tian Xuan address Xiao Yufan. He had already marked this man as an enemy, and a formidable one at that.

Hearing this, the Luan patriarch’s heart skipped a beat. To have nurtured a secret sect with so many powerful members, this so-called young master was surely no simple figure. Of course, the most terrifying might not be this man, but the woman who resembled a celestial being.

“Xiao Dao, I’m very satisfied with the secret sect. It seems you truly have the potential to be a hero. But remember, strength is paramount. If you had enough strength, today might have been a different story.”

Ignoring Nangong Qianliu, Xiao Yufan’s lips curled into a disdainful smile. Perhaps the Qi Condensation level would have been a threat to him a month ago, but now such strength posed no danger to him.

“Young Master, I understand. One day, my strength will reach a higher level, and I will crush all those who have threatened me underfoot!”

Nie Xiao Dao’s lips twitched fiercely as he glared at Nangong Qianliu with a cold intensity. Under such a gaze, Nangong Qianliu actually felt a chill—he had been intimidated by the aura of a mere Qi Condensation weakling.

“I believe you have the potential for that.” Nodding, Xiao Yufan’s cold smile softened once more. He knew Nangong Qianliu was seething, but so what? With strength, one could afford to be capricious.

“Yanran, Xuan’er, you’ve suffered…”

His gaze quietly shifted to the tear-streaked faces of the two women, and the softest part of Xiao Yufan’s heart was deeply touched. A beauty’s charm is unparalleled, and her smiles are reserved only for her beloved.

“As long as you haven’t left us, we are willing to endure any hardship. Do you know how worried we were about you?”

Crying, Tian Xuan threw herself into Xiao Yufan’s arms, her demeanor utterly pitiful. Only in front of Xiao Yufan did she shed her queenly facade, willingly becoming a small woman. When she learned of Xiao Yufan’s accident, she had wanted to follow him into death.

But the news Dongfang Yanran brought back reignited the fire in her heart. As long as this man was safe, she still had something to hold onto, still had hope…

“I know. I promise, this is the last time.”

Inhaling the faint scent of Tian Xuan’s body, Xiao Yufan’s eyes grew more resolute. This was his woman. From now on, he would not allow anyone to harm her, nor would he let her worry again.

His anger toward the old dog of the hidden Guo family grew even fiercer. If he didn’t kill him, how could he justify the bitterness and pain he and Tian Xuan’s women had endured? No matter what, that old dog of the hidden Guo family and Guo Junyu must die…

Watching the two of them quietly leaning together, Dongfang Yanran’s beautiful eyes sparkled with a faint smile. Her excitement at Xiao Yufan’s return was no less than Tian Xuan’s.

“Alright, Tian Xuan, if you want to cuddle, we can do it at home. For now, let’s deal with the trouble at hand. I think the elites of the Tian Group and the Assassin Alliance have probably taken care of the Yuan Gang by now.”

Two minutes later, seeing that the two still hadn’t separated, Dongfang Yanran finally spoke with a smile. She, too, wanted to lean into Xiao Yufan’s arms like a little girl, but with the Assassin Alliance’s strong presence, she had to maintain her dignity.

“Right, there’s still an idiot waiting for me to deal with. Once we’re done here, we’ll continue at home…”

The playful glint in his eyes made Tian Xuan’s face flush with a hint of red. She knew what her husband meant by “continue at home.” After all, she still had the heart of a young girl.

Once again being called an idiot by Xiao Yufan, Nangong Qianliu’s anger had reached its peak. Especially with Xiao Yufan’s disregard for him, and the affectionate gazes Tian Xuan and Dongfang Yanran directed at this man, he could no longer suppress his killing intent.

Before anyone could react, he had already made his move. The aura of the Qi Condensation level was somewhat terrifying, causing many of the secret sect’s strong members to exclaim in shock…

“Who are you, sir? This is a feud between the Luan family and the Dark Gate. You…”

“How annoying. An old dog who doesn’t know how to stay home and enjoy his retirement dares to lecture the youth? After all these years, have you truly lived your life like a dog?”

Before the elder of the Luan family could finish speaking, Xiao Yufan’s icy voice had already spread out. How could he not know about the relationship between the Yuan Gang and the Luan family? Yet he hadn’t expected that when the Yuan Gang was in trouble, the Luan family would actually step forward. It seemed the Yuan Gang was indeed of utmost importance to them.

“Young man, not everyone can act arrogantly. Some matters are beyond your ability to handle…”

Amidst the murmurs of astonishment from the crowd, a figure suddenly appeared before the many powerful individuals. Though his frame was not particularly broad, to the members of the secret faction, he loomed like a colossal mountain…

This was none other than Xiao Yufan, who had rushed over upon hearing the news. Behind him stood Huangpu Xian’er, clad in a green robe, her long hair flowing in the wind.

“Young Master! Husband!”

Xiao Dao and Tian Xuan, along with the others, could no longer suppress their nearly shattered emotions, their voices trembling slightly…

Especially Tian Xuan and Dongfang Yanran, whose delicate bodies quivered at this moment. When this man reappeared before them, they no longer desired anything else, only wishing for his well-being.

With a slight nod, a warm current surged in Xiao Yufan’s heart. He still had so many brothers and women who loved him. If he had truly died at the hands of the old dog from the hidden Guo family this time, perhaps he would never have felt this warmth again.

“Who are you? This is a matter between the Luan family and our secret faction, you…”

“Enough of your nonsense, old dog. Instead of staying at home to enjoy your twilight years, you come out here to boss around the younger generation. All these years, you’ve truly lived like a dog!”

Before the Luan family patriarch could finish, Xiao Yufan’s icy voice had already spread. How could he not know the relationship between the Yuan Gang and the Luan family? It was just that they hadn’t expected the Luan family to jump out when the Yuan Gang was in trouble. It seemed the Yuan Gang was of utmost importance to the Luan family.

“Kid, not everyone can afford to be arrogant. Some matters are beyond your control…”

A hot-tempered member of the Luan family, upon hearing Xiao Yufan’s words, immediately flared up. Ignoring the subtle hint from the Luan family patriarch, he charged forward. But in the next second, this person, who was at the Qi Condensation level, was firmly knocked to the ground, and Xiao Yufan hadn’t even moved.

Naturally, it was Huangpu Xian’er who had acted. She would not allow anyone to disrespect her man, not even these old fools.

Hiss…

The sound of gasps echoed continuously, and the expressions of everyone present changed, including Nangong Qianliu. To incapacitate a Qi Condensation level expert with a single strike, how terrifying must this woman’s strength be?

If Nangong Qianliu had previously taken advantage of Tianyi’s inattention to knock him down, that could be understood. But for Huangpu Xian’er to achieve this against a Qi Condensation level expert at full strength was enough to prove that her power was no less than Nangong Qianliu’s, if not stronger…

“If I’m not mistaken, you must be the hidden young master of the secret faction. You’re much younger than I imagined!”

Nangong Qianliu’s face darkened, especially upon hearing Dongfang Yanran and Tian Xuan address Xiao Yufan. He had already marked this man as an enemy, and a formidable one at that.

Hearing this, the Luan family patriarch’s heart skipped a beat. To cultivate a secret faction with so many powerful members, this so-called young master was surely no simple figure. Of course, the most terrifying might not be this man, but the woman who resembled a celestial being.

“Xiao Dao, I’m very satisfied with the secret faction. It seems you truly have the potential to be a formidable leader. But remember, strength is paramount. If you had enough strength, today might have been a different situation.”

Ignoring Nangong Qianliu, Xiao Yufan’s lips curled into a disdainful arc. Perhaps the Qi Condensation level would have been a threat to him a month ago, but now such strength posed no danger to him.

“Young Master, I understand. One day, my strength will reach a higher level, and I will crush all those who have threatened me underfoot!”

Nie Xiao Dao’s lips twitched fiercely as he glared at Nangong Qianliu with a hint of menace. Under such a gaze, Nangong Qianliu actually felt a chill; he had been intimidated by the aura of a mere Qi Condensation level weakling.

“I believe you have the strength for that.” Nodding, Xiao Yufan’s cold smile softened once more. He knew Nangong Qianliu was seething, but so what? With strength, one could afford to be capricious.

“Yanran, Xuan’er, you’ve suffered…”

His gaze quietly shifted to the tear-streaked faces of the two women, and the softest part of Xiao Yufan’s heart was deeply touched. A beauty’s charm is unparalleled, and her smile is reserved only for her beloved.

“As long as you haven’t left us, we are willing to endure any hardship. Do you know how worried we were about you?”

Crying, Tian Xuan threw herself into Xiao Yufan’s arms, her demeanor utterly endearing. Only in front of Xiao Yufan did she shed her queenly facade, willingly becoming a small woman. When she learned of Xiao Yufan’s accident, she had wished to follow him in death.

But the news Dongfang Yanran brought back reignited the fervor in her heart. As long as this man was safe, she still had something to cling to, still had hope…

“I know, I promise, this is the last time.”

Inhaling the faint scent of Tian Xuan’s body, Xiao Yufan’s eyes grew more resolute. This was his woman, and from now on, he would not allow anyone to harm her, nor would he let her worry again.

His anger towards the old dog of the hidden Guo family intensified. If he didn’t kill him, how could he justify the bitterness and pain he and Tian Xuan’s women had endured? No matter what, the old dog of the hidden Guo family and Guo Junyu must die…

Watching the two quietly lean against each other, Dongfang Yanran’s beautiful eyes sparkled with a faint smile. Her excitement at Xiao Yufan’s return was no less than Tian Xuan’s.

“Alright, Tian Xuan, if you want to cuddle, let’s do it at home. For now, let’s deal with the trouble at hand. I think the elites of the Tian Group and the Assassin Alliance have almost finished with the Yuan Gang.”

Two minutes later, seeing that the two still hadn’t separated, Dongfang Yanran finally spoke with a smile. She too wished to lean into Xiao Yufan’s arms like a little girl, but with the Assassin Alliance’s strong presence, she had to maintain her dignity.

“Right, there’s still an idiot waiting for me to deal with. After we’re done here, we’ll continue at home…”

The playful look in his eyes brought a blush to Tian Xuan’s face. She knew what her husband meant by continuing at home. After all, she still had the heart of a young girl.

Once again referred to as an idiot by Xiao Yufan, Nangong Qianliu’s anger had reached its peak. Especially with Xiao Yufan’s disregard for him and the affectionate gazes Tian Xuan and Dongfang Yanran cast upon this man, he could no longer suppress his killing intent.

Before anyone could react, he had already made his move. The aura of the Qi Condensation level was somewhat terrifying, causing many of the secret faction’s experts to exclaim in surprise…

Naturally, it was Huangpu Xian’er who had acted. She would never allow anyone to disrespect her man—not even these old bastards!

Amidst the murmurs of astonishment from the crowd, a figure suddenly appeared before the many powerful individuals. Though his frame was not particularly broad, to the eyes of the secret sect members, he stood like a towering mountain…

This newcomer was Xiao Yufan, who had rushed over upon hearing the news. Behind him was Huangpu Xian’er, clad in a green robe, her long hair flowing in the wind.

“Young Master, husband!” Xiao Dao and Tian Xuan, among others, could no longer suppress their nearly crumbling emotions, their voices trembling slightly…

Especially Tian Xuan and Dongfang Yanran, whose delicate bodies quivered at this moment. When this man appeared before them again, they no longer sought anything else, only wishing for his well-being.

With a slight nod, a warm current surged in Xiao Yufan’s heart. He still had so many brothers and women who loved him. If he had truly died at the hands of the old dog from the hidden Guo family this time, perhaps he would never have felt this warmth again.

“Who are you, sir? This is a matter between the Luan family and the secret sect, you…”

“Enough! An old dog who doesn’t know to stay at home and enjoy his twilight years, instead running out to boss around the young. All these years, you’ve truly lived like a dog!”

Before Elder Luan could finish, Xiao Yufan’s icy voice had already spread. How could he not know the relationship between the Yuan Gang and the Luan family? It was just that they hadn’t expected the Luan family to jump out when the Yuan Gang was in trouble. It seems the Yuan Gang was of utmost importance to the Luan family.

“Kid, not everyone can afford to be arrogant. Some matters are beyond your control…”

A hot-tempered member of the Luan family, upon hearing Xiao Yufan’s words, immediately flared up. Ignoring Elder Luan’s subtle hint, he charged out. But the next second, this man, with the strength of the Qi Condensation realm, fell to the ground steadily, while Xiao Yufan hadn’t moved a muscle.

Naturally, it was Huangpu Xian’er who had acted. She would not allow anyone to disrespect her man, not even these old fools.

Hiss…

The sound of gasps echoed around, and everyone’s expressions changed, including Nan Gong Qianliu. To render a Qi Condensation realm expert powerless with a single strike, how terrifying must this woman’s strength be?

If before, Nan Gong Qianliu had taken advantage of Tianyi’s inattention to strike him down, that could be understood. But for Huangpu Xian’er to achieve this against a Qi Condensation realm expert’s full attack was enough to prove her strength was no less than Nan Gong Qianliu’s…

“If I’m not mistaken, you must be the hidden young master of the secret sect. You’re much younger than I imagined!”

Nan Gong Qianliu’s face darkened, especially upon hearing Dongfang Yanran and Tian Xuan’s address to Xiao Yufan. He had already marked this man as an enemy, and a very powerful one at that.

Hearing this, Elder Luan’s heart skipped a beat. To cultivate a secret sect with so many powerful members, this so-called young master was surely no simple figure. Of course, the most terrifying might not be this man, but also the woman who resembled a fairy.

“Xiao Dao, I am very satisfied with the secret sect. It seems you truly have the potential of a hero. But remember, strength is paramount. If you had enough strength, today might have been a different situation.”

Ignoring Nan Gong Qianliu, Xiao Yufan’s lips curled into a disdainful arc. Perhaps the Qi Condensation realm had been a threat to him a month ago, but now such strength posed no threat to him at all.

“Young Master, I understand. One day, my strength will reach a higher level, and then I will trample all those who have threatened me underfoot!”

Nie Xiao Dao’s mouth twitched fiercely, his gaze at Nan Gong Qianliu carrying a hint of menace. Under such a gaze, Nan Gong Qianliu actually felt a chill. He had been intimidated by the aura of a mere Qi Condensation realm weakling.

“I believe you have such strength!” Nodding, Xiao Yufan’s cold smile softened again. He knew Nan Gong Qianliu was very displeased now, but so what? With strength, one could afford to be capricious!

“Yanran, Xuan’er, you’ve suffered…”

His gaze quietly moved to the tear-streaked faces of the two women, and the softest part of Xiao Yufan’s heart was deeply touched. A beauty naturally possesses a charm that captivates a city, and her life is only to bloom for her lord.

“As long as you haven’t left us, we are willing to endure any hardship. Do you know how worried we were about you!”

Crying, Tian Xuan threw herself into Xiao Yufan’s arms, her demeanor so pitifully touching. Only in front of Xiao Yufan did she shed her queenly veil, willingly becoming a little woman. When she learned of Xiao Yufan’s accident, how she wished to follow him.

But the news Dongfang Yanran brought back later reignited the fervor in her heart. As long as this man was safe, she still had something to cling to, still had hope…

“I know, I promise, this is the last time!”

Inhaling the faint scent of Tian Xuan’s body, Xiao Yufan’s eyes grew more resolute. This was his woman. From now on, he would not allow anyone to harm his woman, nor would he let them worry again.

The anger in his heart towards the old dog of the hidden Guo family grew stronger. If he didn’t kill him, how could he face the bitterness and pain he and the women had endured? No matter what, the old dog of the hidden Guo family and Guo Junyu must die…

The playful look in his brows brought a blush to Tian Xuan’s face. She knew what her husband meant by continuing at home. After all, she still had the heart of a little girl.

Once again being called an idiot by Xiao Yufan, Nan Gong Qianliu’s anger had reached its peak. Especially Xiao Yufan’s disregard for him, and the affectionate looks Tian Xuan and Dongfang Yanran gave this man, had long made him unable to suppress his killing intent.

Before anyone could react, he had already made his move. The aura of the Qi Condensation stage was somewhat terrifying, causing many of the secret sect’s strong members to exclaim in surprise…

Amidst the astonished murmurs of the crowd, a figure suddenly appeared before the many powerful individuals. Though his frame wasn’t particularly broad, to the members of the secret faction, he seemed like a towering mountain…

This newcomer was none other than Xiao Yufan, who had rushed over upon hearing the news. Behind him stood Huangpu Xian’er, clad in a green robe, her long hair flowing in the wind.

“Xiao Dao, I’m very satisfied with the secret faction. It seems you truly have the potential of a hero. But remember, strength is paramount. If you had enough strength, today might have been a different story.”

Ignoring Nan Gong Qianliu, a hint of disdain curled at the corner of Xiao Yufan’s lips. Perhaps the Qi Condensation level would have been a threat to him a month ago, but now, such strength posed no threat at all.

“Young Master, I understand. One day, my strength will reach a higher level, and I will trample all those who have threatened me underfoot!”

Nie Xiao Dao’s mouth twitched fiercely as he glared at Nan Gong Qianliu with a hint of menace. Under such a gaze, Nan Gong Qianliu actually felt a chill. He had been intimidated by the aura of a mere Qi Condensation level weakling.

“I believe you have such strength!” Nodding, Xiao Yufan’s cold smile softened again. He knew Nan Gong Qianliu was very displeased, but so what? With strength comes the right to be capricious!

“Yanran, Xuan’er, you’ve suffered…”

His gaze quietly moved to the tear-streaked faces of the two women, and the softest part of Xiao Yufan’s heart was deeply touched. A beauty’s charm is unparalleled, and her smiles are reserved only for her beloved.

“As long as you haven’t left us, we are willing to endure any hardship. Do you know how worried we were about you?”

“Alright, Tian Xuan, if you want to cuddle, let’s do it at home. For now, let’s deal with the trouble at hand. I think the elites from the Tian Group and the Assassin Alliance have almost finished with the Yuan Gang.”

The playful look in his eyes brought a blush to Tian Xuan’s face. She knew what her husband meant by continuing at home. After all, she still had the heart of a young girl.

Once again referred to as an idiot by Xiao Yufan, Nan Gong Qianliu’s anger had reached its peak. Especially Xiao Yufan’s disregard for him, and the affectionate looks Tian Xuan and Dongfang Yanran gave this man, had long since made him unable to suppress his killing intent.

Before anyone could react, he had already made his move. The aura of the Qi Condensation level was somewhat terrifying, causing many of the secret faction’s strong members to exclaim in surprise…

“If I’m not mistaken, you must be the hidden young master of the Dark Gate. You’re much younger than I imagined!”

Nangong Qianliu’s expression darkened, especially after hearing how Dongfang Yanran and Tianxuan addressed Xiao Yufan. He now regarded this man before him as an enemy—one very powerful indeed.

Upon hearing this, the Luan family elder’s heart skipped a beat. The so-called young master of the Dark Gate, capable of nurturing so many experts, was certainly no simple figure. Yet perhaps even more terrifying than this man was that woman who seemed like a celestial fairy.

“Xiao Dao, I’m very satisfied with the Dark Gate. It seems you truly possess the potential of a mighty hero. But remember, strength is ultimately the most crucial thing. If you had sufficient power, today’s situation might have been entirely different!”

Amidst the murmurs of astonishment from the crowd, a figure suddenly appeared before the many powerful individuals. Though his frame was not particularly broad, to the members of the secret sect, he stood like a towering mountain…

The newcomer was none other than Xiao Yufan, who had rushed over upon hearing the news. Behind him was Huangpu Xian’er, clad in a green robe, her long hair flowing in the wind.

“Young Master, husband!” Xiao Dao and Tian Xuan, among others, could no longer suppress their nearly crumbling emotions, their voices trembling slightly…

Especially Tian Xuan and Dongfang Yanran, whose delicate bodies quivered at this moment. When this man appeared before them again, they no longer desired anything else, only wishing for his well-being.

With a slight nod, a warm current surged in Xiao Yufan’s heart. He still had so many brothers and women who loved him. If he had truly died at the hands of that old dog from the hidden Guo family this time, perhaps he would never have felt such warmth again.

“Who are you? This is a matter between the Luan family and the secret sect, you…”

“Enough of your noise, an old dog who doesn’t know to stay at home and enjoy his twilight years, yet dares to come out and boss around the young. All these years, you’ve truly lived like a dog!”

Before the old man from the Luan family could finish, Xiao Yufan’s icy voice had already spread. He was well aware of the relationship between the Yuan gang and the Luan family, but they hadn’t expected that when the Yuan gang was in trouble, the Luan family would actually jump out. It seemed the Yuan gang was of utmost importance to the Luan family.

“Kid, not everyone can afford to be arrogant. Some matters are beyond your control…”

A hot-tempered member of the Luan family, upon hearing Xiao Yufan’s words, immediately flared up. Ignoring the subtle hint from the old man, he charged forward. But in the next second, this man, who was at the Qi Condensation level, was firmly knocked to the ground, and Xiao Yufan hadn’t even moved.

Naturally, it was Huangpu Xian’er who had acted. She would not allow anyone to disrespect her man, not even these old fools.

“Young Master, I understand. One day, my strength will reach a higher level, and I will trample all those who have threatened me underfoot!”

Nie Xiao Dao’s lips twitched fiercely as he looked at Nangong Qianliu with a hint of menace. Under this gaze, Nangong Qianliu actually felt a chill; he had been intimidated by the aura of a mere Qi Condensation level weakling.

“I believe you have such strength!” Nodding, Xiao Yufan’s cold smile softened once more. He knew Nangong Qianliu was very displeased, but so what? With strength comes the luxury of being capricious!

“Yanran, Xuan’er, you’ve suffered…”

His gaze quietly moved to the tear-streaked faces of the two women, and the softest part of Xiao Yufan’s heart was deeply touched. A beauty’s charm is for her lord alone, and her life is but to bring him joy.

“As long as you haven’t left us, we are willing to endure any hardship. Do you know how worried we were about you?”

Crying, Tian Xuan threw herself into Xiao Yufan’s arms, her demeanor so pitifully touching. Only in front of Xiao Yufan did she shed her queenly facade, willingly becoming a small woman. When she learned of Xiao Yufan’s accident, how she wished to follow him.

But the news Dongfang Yanran brought back reignited the fervor in her heart. As long as this man was safe, she still had something to cling to, still had hope…

“I know, I promise, this is the last time!”

Inhaling the faint scent of Tian Xuan’s body, Xiao Yufan’s eyes grew more resolute. This was his woman, and from now on, he would not allow anyone to harm her, nor would he let her worry again.

His anger towards that old dog from the hidden Guo family grew even more. If he didn’t kill him, how could he justify the bitterness and pain he and the women had endured? No matter what, that old dog from the hidden Guo family and Guo Junyu must die…

Watching the two of them quietly leaning together, Dongfang Yanran’s beautiful eyes sparkled with a faint smile. Her excitement at Xiao Yufan’s return was no less than Tian Xuan’s.

“Alright, Tian Xuan, if you want to cuddle, let’s do it at home. For now, let’s deal with the trouble at hand. I think the elites from the Tian group and the Assassin Alliance have almost finished with the Yuan gang.”

Two minutes later, Dongfang Yanran, seeing that the two still hadn’t separated, finally spoke with a smile. She too wanted to lean into Xiao Yufan’s arms like a little girl, but with the Assassin Alliance’s strong presence, she had to maintain her dignity.

“Right, there’s still an idiot waiting for me to deal with. Let’s finish this and then continue at home…”

The frivolous look in his eyes made Tian Xuan’s face flush with a hint of red. She knew what her husband meant by continuing at home, always a little girl at heart.

Once again being called an idiot by Xiao Yufan, Nangong Qianliu’s anger had reached its peak. Especially with Xiao Yufan’s disregard for him, and the affectionate looks Tian Xuan and Dongfang Yanran gave this man, he could no longer suppress his killing intent.

Before anyone could react, he had already made his move. The aura of the Qi Condensation level was somewhat terrifying, causing the many strong members of the secret sect to exclaim in surprise…

“Master, I understand. One day, my strength will reach an even higher level, and then I’ll trample every single person who has ever threatened me beneath my feet!”

Nie Xiaodao’s lips twitched violently as he glared at Nangong Qianliu with a hint of menace. Under this gaze, Nangong Qianliu actually felt a chill run down his spine. How could he—a mere condense Qi realm expert—be intimidated by someone like this?

“I believe you have that potential!” Xiao Yufan nodded, his cold smile softening again. He knew Nangong Qianliu must be furious now, but so what? Having strength simply allowed one to be this arrogant!

“Yanran, Xuan’er, I’m so sorry you’ve suffered…”

His gaze gently shifting to the tear-streaked faces of the two women, a soft place deep within Xiao Yufan’s heart was struck fiercely. Beauty capable of toppling cities, blossoming only for her beloved.

“As long as you’re not leaving us, darling, we’re willing to endure any hardship. Do you know how worried we’ve been about you!”

Crying, Tianxuan flung herself into Xiao Yufan’s arms, her expression so delicate and pitiable. Only before Xiao Yufan would she shed her queenly mask, willingly becoming his tender lover. When she first heard of Xiao Yufan’s accident, she had wanted to follow him into death.

But Dongfang Yanran’s later news reignited the burning hope in her heart. As long as this man remained safe, she would still have someone to cherish, still have hope…

“I know. I promise, this will be the last time!”

Inhaling the faint fragrance of Tianxuan’s body, Xiao Yufan’s eyes grew more determined. She was his woman. From now on, he would allow no one to harm his women again, nor would he let them worry anymore.

Amidst the murmurs of astonishment and doubt, a figure abruptly appeared before the gathering of formidable individuals. Though his frame was not particularly broad, to the members of the secret faction, he loomed like a colossal mountain…

It was Xiao Yufan, who had rushed over upon hearing the news. Behind him stood Huangpu Xian’er, clad in a green robe, her long hair flowing in the wind.

“Young master, husband!” Xiao Dao and Tian Xuan, among others, could no longer suppress their nearly shattered emotions, their voices trembling slightly…

Especially Tian Xuan and Dongfang Yanran, whose delicate bodies quivered at this moment. When this man reappeared before them, they no longer sought anything more, only wishing for his well-being.

Xiao Yufan nodded slightly, a warm current surging in his heart. He still had so many brothers and women who loved him. If he had truly perished at the hands of the old dog from the hidden Guo family this time, perhaps he would never have felt such warmth again.

“Who are you? This is a matter between the Luan family and the secret faction, you…”

“Enough of your noise, an old dog who doesn’t know to stay at home and enjoy his twilight years, yet dares to come out and meddle with the young. After all these years, you’ve truly lived like a dog!”

Before Elder Luan could finish, Xiao Yufan’s icy voice had already spread. He was well aware of the relationship between the Yuan Gang and the Luan family. However, they had not anticipated that the Luan family would indeed leap out when the Yuan Gang was in trouble. It seemed the Yuan Gang was of utmost importance to the Luan family.

“Young man, not everyone can afford to be arrogant. There are matters you cannot handle…”

A hot-tempered member of the Luan family, upon hearing Xiao Yufan’s words, flared up in anger. Ignoring Elder Luan’s subtle hint, he charged forward. But in the next second, this person, who was at the Qi Condensation level, fell steadily to the ground, while Xiao Yufan hadn’t moved at all.

Naturally, it was Huangpu Xian’er who had acted. She would not allow anyone to disrespect her man, not even these old fools.

Gasps of astonishment echoed around, and everyone’s expressions changed, including Nan Gong Qianliu. To incapacitate a Qi Condensation level expert with a single strike, how terrifying must this woman’s strength be?

If Nan Gong Qianliu had previously taken advantage of Tian Yi’s inattention to strike him down, that could be understood. But for Huangpu Xian’er to achieve this against a Qi Condensation level expert at full strength proved her power was no less than Nan Gong Qianliu’s, if not stronger…

“If I’m not mistaken, you must be the hidden young master of the secret faction. You are much younger than I imagined!”

Nan Gong Qianliu’s face darkened, especially upon hearing Dongfang Yanran and Tian Xuan address Xiao Yufan. He had already marked this man as an enemy, and a formidable one at that.

Hearing this, Elder Luan’s heart skipped a beat. To cultivate a secret faction with so many strong members, this so-called young master was surely no simple figure. Of course, the most terrifying might not be this man, but also the woman who resembled a celestial being.

“Xiao Dao, I am very satisfied with the secret faction. It seems you truly have the potential of a warlord. But remember, strength is paramount. If you had sufficient strength, today’s situation might have been different.”

Ignoring Nan Gong Qianliu, Xiao Yufan’s lips curled into a disdainful arc. Perhaps the Condensed Qi level would have been a threat to him a month ago, but now such strength posed no threat at all.

“Young master, I understand. One day, my strength will reach a higher level, and I will trample all those who have threatened me underfoot!”

Nie Xiao Dao’s lips twitched fiercely, his gaze fixed on Nan Gong Qianliu with a hint of menace. Under such a gaze, Nan Gong Qianliu felt a chill; he had been intimidated by the aura of a mere Qi Condensation level weakling.

“I believe you have such strength!” Xiao Yufan nodded, his cold smile softening once more. He knew Nan Gong Qianliu was very displeased, but so what? With strength, one could afford to be capricious!

“Yanran, Xuan’er, you’ve suffered…”

His gaze quietly moved to the tear-streaked faces of the two women, and the softest part of Xiao Yufan’s heart was deeply touched. Beautiful women possess the charm to topple cities, yet they reserve their smiles solely for their lord.

“As long as you haven’t left us, we are willing to endure any hardship. Do you know how worried we were about you?”

Crying, Tian Xuan threw herself into Xiao Yufan’s arms, her demeanor utterly pitiful. Only in front of Xiao Yufan did she shed her queenly veil, willingly becoming a little woman. When she learned of Xiao Yufan’s accident, how she wished to follow him.

But the news Dongfang Yanran brought back reignited the fervor in her heart. As long as this man was safe, she still had something to cling to, still had hope…

“I know, I promise, this is the last time!”

Inhaling the faint scent of Tian Xuan’s body, Xiao Yufan’s eyes grew more resolute. This was his woman. From now on, he would not allow anyone to harm his women, nor would he let them worry again.

His anger towards the old dog of the hidden Guo family intensified. If he did not kill him, how could he face the bitterness and pain he and Tian Xuan’s women had endured? No matter what, the old dog of the hidden Guo family and Guo Junyu must die…

Watching the two lean quietly against each other, Dongfang Yanran’s beautiful eyes sparkled with a faint smile. Her excitement at Xiao Yufan’s return was no less than Tian Xuan’s.

“Alright, Tian Xuan, if you want to cuddle, let’s do it at home. For now, let’s deal with the trouble at hand. I think the elites of the Tian Group and the Assassin Alliance have almost finished with the Yuan Gang.”

Two minutes later, seeing that the two still hadn’t separated, Dongfang Yanran finally spoke with a smile. She too wished to lean into Xiao Yufan’s arms like a little girl, but with the Assassin Alliance’s strong presence, she had to maintain her dignity.

“Right, there’s still an idiot waiting for me to deal with. After we’re done here, we’ll continue at home…”

The playful glint in his eyes brought a blush to Tian Xuan’s face. She knew what her husband meant by continuing at home. After all, she still had the heart of a young girl.

Once again being called an idiot by Xiao Yufan, Nan Gong Qianliu’s anger had reached its peak. Especially with Xiao Yufan’s disregard for him, and the affectionate gazes Tian Xuan and Dongfang Yanran cast towards this man, he could no longer suppress his killing intent.

Before anyone could react, he had already made his move. The aura of the Condensed Qi level was somewhat terrifying, causing many of the secret faction’s strong members to exclaim in surprise…

Watching the two quietly leaning together, Dongfang Yanran’s beautiful eyes brimmed with gentle smiles. Her joy at Xiao Yufan’s return was no less than Tianxuan’s.

“Alright, Sister Tianxuan, if you two want to be affectionate, let’s go home first. Right now, we need to deal with our current troubles. I think the Tian Group and the Assassin Alliance’s elites have probably already taken care of the Yuan Gang by now.”

After two minutes, seeing that the two still hadn’t separated, Dongfang Yanran smiled and spoke. How much she longed to snuggle into Xiao Yufan’s arms like a young girl too—but with the Assassin Alliance’s experts present, she had to maintain her dignity.

“You’re right. There’s still an idiot waiting for me to deal with. After finishing this, we can go home and continue…”

That flirtatious expression caused a faint blush to rise on Tianxuan’s face. She understood exactly what her darling meant by “continuing at home.” After all, she was still a shy young girl at heart.

Once again called an idiot by Xiao Yufan, Nangong Qianliu’s fury had reached its peak, especially with Xiao Yufan’s complete disregard and the loving gazes from Tianxuan and Dongfang Yanran. He could no longer suppress his murderous intent.

Amidst the astonishment and suspicion of the crowd, a figure abruptly appeared before the many powerful individuals. Though his frame was not particularly broad, to the members of the secret sect, he stood like a towering mountain…

This newcomer was none other than Xiao Yufan, who had rushed over upon hearing the news. Behind him stood Huangpu Xian’er, clad in a green robe, her long hair flowing in the wind.

“Young Master, husband!”

Xiao Dao and Tian Xuan, along with others, could no longer contain their nearly shattered emotions, their voices trembling slightly…

Especially Tian Xuan and Dongfang Yanran, whose delicate bodies quivered gently at this moment. When this man appeared before them again, they no longer sought anything more, only wishing for his well-being.

With a slight nod, a warm current surged in Xiao Yufan’s heart. He still had so many brothers and women who loved him. If he had truly died at the hands of the old dog from the hidden Guo family this time, he might never have felt this warmth again.

“Who are you? This is a matter between the Luan family and the secret sect, you…”

“Enough! An old dog who doesn’t know to stay at home and enjoy his twilight years, yet dares to come out and boss around the young. After all these years, you’ve truly lived like a dog!”

Before the Luan family patriarch could finish, Xiao Yufan’s icy voice had already spread. He was well aware of the relationship between the Yuan Gang and the Luan family. However, he hadn’t expected that the Luan family would jump out when the Yuan Gang was in trouble. It seemed the Yuan Gang was of utmost importance to the Luan family.

“Kid, not everyone can afford to be arrogant. Some matters are beyond your control…”

A hot-tempered member of the Luan family, upon hearing Xiao Yufan’s words, flared up in anger. Ignoring the subtle hint from the Luan family patriarch, he charged forward. But in the next second, this person, who was at the Qi Condensation level, fell to the ground steadily, while Xiao Yufan hadn’t even moved.

Naturally, it was Huangpu Xian’er who had acted. She would not allow anyone to disrespect her man, not even these old fools.

Hisses…

The sound of gasps echoed continuously, and the expressions of everyone present changed, including Nan Gong Qianliu. To incapacitate a Qi Condensation level expert with a single strike, how terrifying must this woman’s strength be?

If it was understandable that Nan Gong Qianliu had taken down Tian Yi with a single strike when he was off guard, then Huangpu Xian’er’s ability to do the same against a Qi Condensation level expert in full attack mode was enough to prove her strength was no less than Nan Gong Qianliu’s, if not stronger…

“If I’m not mistaken, you must be the hidden young master of the secret sect. You’re much younger than I imagined!”

Nan Gong Qianliu’s face darkened, especially upon hearing Dongfang Yanran and Tian Xuan address Xiao Yufan. He had already marked this man as an enemy, and a formidable one at that.

Hearing this, the Luan family patriarch’s heart skipped a beat. To cultivate a secret sect with so many powerful members, this so-called young master was surely no simple figure. Of course, the most terrifying might not be this man, but the woman who resembled a fairy.

“Xiao Dao, I’m very satisfied with the secret sect. It seems you truly have the potential to be a hero. But remember, strength is paramount. If you had enough strength, today might have been a different story.”

Ignoring Nan Gong Qianliu, a hint of disdain curled at the corner of Xiao Yufan’s lips. Perhaps the Qi Condensation level would have been a threat to him a month ago, but now such strength posed no threat at all.

“Young Master, I understand. One day, my strength will reach a higher level, and I will crush all those who have threatened me underfoot!”

Nie Xiao Dao’s lips twitched fiercely as he glared at Nan Gong Qianliu with a hint of menace. Under such a gaze, Nan Gong Qianliu actually felt a chill; he had been intimidated by the aura of a mere Qi Condensation level weakling.

“I believe you have the strength for that!” Nodding, Xiao Yufan’s cold smile softened once more. He knew Nan Gong Qianliu was very displeased, but so what? With strength, one could afford to be capricious!

“Yanran, Xuan’er, you’ve suffered…”

His gaze quietly moved to the tear-streaked faces of the two women, and the softest part of Xiao Yufan’s heart was deeply touched. A beauty’s charm is unparalleled, and her smiles are reserved only for her beloved.

“As long as you haven’t left us, we are willing to endure any hardship. Do you know how worried we were about you?”

But the news Dongfang Yanran brought back reignited the fervor in her heart. As long as this man was safe, she still had something to hold onto, still had hope…

“I know, I promise, this is the last time!”

Inhaling the faint scent of Tian Xuan’s body, Xiao Yufan’s eyes grew more resolute. This was his woman, and from now on, he would not allow anyone to harm her, nor would he let her worry again.

His anger towards the old dog of the hidden Guo family grew even more. If he didn’t kill him, how could he face the bitterness and pain he and Tian Xuan’s women had endured? No matter what, the old dog of the hidden Guo family and Guo Junyu must die…
