Xiao Yufan was naturally not a stingy person and directly passed the Annihilation Heaven Seal to Hong Zhong. If Nuotiangong ever found out, who knows if he would spit blood in fury…
Xiao Yufan was naturally not a stingy person and directly passed the Annihilation Seal to Hong Zhong. If Nuo Tian Gong were to find out, he might just vomit three liters of blood…
Having stepped into the innate realm, Xiao Yufan couldn’t be said to be arrogant, but he certainly didn’t hold Nuo Tian Gong and others in high regard. However, when he thought of Guo Chen, he couldn’t help but feel a bit worried!
Although that guy was half-dead and had been rescued by Xue Hanzi, Xiao Yufan’s intuition told him that Guo Chen wouldn’t die so easily. Moreover, Guo Chen had considerable luck and had already reached the half-step innate realm this time. Who knows how terrifying he might be the next time he appears.
There were still a few days left before exploring that mysterious place, and Xiao Yufan didn’t bother to think too much about it, but he was still very much looking forward to it.
“Yingluo didn’t go back. I wonder if the old folks from the Hu family will come after us!”
Suddenly, Xiao Yufan thought of a very serious problem. Given the nature of the Hu family, if they knew that Yingluo had stayed in China, they might send people to cause trouble. If Yingluo were taken away by the Hu family while he was not around, he would be in for a lot of trouble…
“Probably not! Even the most conservative Fourth Elder didn’t say anything. The Hu family wouldn’t send someone all the way to take this little princess back, would they?”
Glancing at Hu Yingluo’s delicate figure not far away, Hong Zhong laughed, though he wasn’t entirely confident. Who knows what the old antiques of the Hu family might do.
With Xiao Yufan’s status as the young master of the Tian Alliance and having reached the innate realm at such a young age, the Hu family probably wouldn’t push such a talented son-in-law away…
“All this talk is just nonsense!”
Although this guy had indeed convinced the Fourth Elder, he hadn’t managed to dig out much information from him. It was unlikely that the Hu family would come to China anytime soon, meaning there wouldn’t be any trouble for the time being. If soldiers come, we’ll block them; if water comes, we’ll dam it. No one could take his woman away from him.
Involuntarily, Xiao Yufan’s mind flashed to that figure. He vaguely remembered that woman always staying by his side.
But when he woke up, he didn’t see the figure he had been longing for, which disappointed Xiao Yufan. However, he did get an exciting piece of news from the girls: Cheng Ying would be exploring that mysterious place with him.
“No matter what hardships you face, one day, I will keep you by my side!”
A smile appeared on his lips. Since that moment their eyes met at the martial arts conference, Xiao Yufan had understood many things. At least, Ying’er’s departure was due to unavoidable circumstances, just as he had thought.
However, whether it was during the breakup or their reunion at the wedding, Ying’er had disguised herself so well that he had overlooked the most important thing—the feelings that had grown between them since their youthful days…
It was because of his pitiful vanity that he had repeatedly let go of Ying’er’s hand. When Ye Kong said those words, the regret in his heart was beyond words.
Fortunately, this time, Xiao Yufan wouldn’t make the same mistake again!
“Why haven’t you left yet? Didn’t I give you everything…”
The rustling sound made Xiao Yufan think that Hong Zhong hadn’t left yet, but he quickly realized that the person who had arrived wasn’t Hong Zhong, but someone else.
“I know I’m not welcome here. I came just to thank you!”
Sitting across from the person who had once driven him to the brink of madness, Si Wenchang forced a bitter smile. Now, the two of them were truly worlds apart. He finally understood one thing: he could never compete with this man.
“There’s no need to thank me. I helped you only to make you realize that there is still some familial bond between us.”
Xiao Yufan smiled, not at all surprised by Si Wenchang’s appearance. Whether it was their rivalry in the capital or Si Wenchang’s obstruction as one of the three young marshals of the north when the Brilliance Alliance was advancing northward, it was all in the past.
The two of them were now in different worlds, and their past grievances had faded considerably.
“Familial bond…” Si Wenchang trembled slightly, then a hint of mockery appeared on his lips. The lineage of the Si family patriarch could barely keep up with the hidden Si family, while their own branch couldn’t even make it onto any stage.
If it weren’t for this martial arts conference, he wouldn’t have known that there were so many powerful people in this world. What made him most unwilling was that he didn’t even have the right to look up to the young masters of the younger generation.
“For so long, no matter which branch of the hidden Si family it was, they have all faded. Grandfather’s meaning is that there’s no need to fight for anything anymore. Just walk your own path well enough!”
Xiao Yufan knew that the reason Si Wenchang had opposed him was simply for the title of future young master of the Si family. However, Xiao Yufan had already grown indifferent to these things. That said, he was very interested in the position of future young master of the hidden Si family.
Hearing Xiao Yufan’s words, Si Wenchang was clearly taken aback, but he quickly made up his mind, as this concerned the survival of their branch in the future.
“Whether it’s the people from the northern Si family or the southern Si family branch, they are all willing to recognize Grandfather as the family head. You are also the future young master. I believe that one day, all branches of the Si family can return to the hidden Si family!”
Si Wenchang’s voice wasn’t loud, but there was an indescribable firmness in it. Xiao Yufan was somewhat surprised that such words could come from this man’s mouth. It seemed that the martial arts conference had given him quite a shock…
“Is it really that important to return to the hidden Si family?”
“Very important. It’s Grandfather’s lifelong wish. When Grandfather was forced to leave the hidden Si family because of the family head, he hoped that one day he could return!”
Perhaps Xiao Yufan didn’t understand why Si Wenchang placed so much importance on returning to the hidden Si family, but for Si Wenchang, it was his grandfather’s greatest wish. This was also why he had been so hostile toward Xiao Yufan before.
If it weren’t for the family head back then, they wouldn’t have separated from the hidden Si family. Si Wenchang might not have known that if they hadn’t left, they might have turned to dust in that upheaval.
“I promise you, I won’t let Grandfather’s wish come to nothing!”
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yufan’s eyes showed a hint of a smile. Si Wenchang’s grandfather was also his elder. Since that grandfather’s wish was to return to the hidden Si family, how could he bear to let that wish come to nothing?
Si Wenchang smiled, knowing that his choice was the right one…
Xiao Yufan was naturally not a stingy person and directly passed the Annihilation Seal to Hong Zhong. If Nuo Tiangong were to find out, he might just spit out three liters of blood…
Having stepped into the innate realm, Xiao Yufan couldn’t be said to be arrogant, but he certainly didn’t place Nuo Tiangong and others in his eyes. However, when he thought of Guo Chen, he felt a bit more worried!
Although that guy was half-dead and rescued by Xue Hanzi, Xiao Yufan’s intuition told him that Guo Chen wouldn’t die so easily. Moreover, Guo Chen had considerable fortune. This time, he had already stepped into the half-step innate realm. Who knows how terrifying he would be the next time he appeared.
There were still a few days left before exploring that mysterious place. Xiao Yufan didn’t bother to think too much about it, but he was still very much looking forward to it.
“Yingluo didn’t go back. Would the old guys from the Hu family come after us?”
Suddenly, Xiao Yufan thought of a very serious problem. Given the nature of the Hu family, if they knew Yingluo stayed in China, they might send people to cause trouble. If Yingluo were taken away by the Hu family while he was not around, wouldn’t he be in a lot of trouble…
“Probably not! Even the most rigid Fourth Elder didn’t say anything. The Hu family wouldn’t send people all the way to take this little princess back, would they?”
Glancing at Hu Yingluo’s delicate figure not far away, Hong Zhong smiled, but he wasn’t too confident. Who knows what the old antiques of the Hu family would do.
Given Xiao Yufan’s identity as the young master of the Tian Alliance and his stepping into the innate realm at such a young age, the Hu family probably wouldn’t push such a talented son-in-law away…
“All this talk is just nonsense!”
Although this guy did convince the Fourth Elder, he didn’t dig out much information from him. The Hu family wouldn’t come to China anytime soon, meaning there wouldn’t be any trouble for now.

“No matter what your difficulties are, one day, I will keep you by my side!”
A smile appeared on his lips. Since the moment their eyes met at the ancient martial arts conference, Xiao Yufan had understood a lot. At least, Ying’er’s departure was due to unavoidable reasons, just as he had thought.
However, whether it was the breakup or their reunion at the wedding, Ying’er had disguised herself too well, making him overlook the most important thing—the feelings that had grown between them from their youthful days…
It was because of his pitiful vanity that he let go of Ying’er’s hand time and time again. When Ye Kong said those words, the regret in his heart couldn’t be expressed in words.
Fortunately, this time, Xiao Yufan wouldn’t do anything stupid!
“Why aren’t you leaving yet? Didn’t I give you everything…”
The rustling sound made Xiao Yufan think that Hong Zhong hadn’t left yet, but he quickly realized that the person wasn’t Hong Zhong but someone else.
“I know I’m not welcome here. I just came to thank you!”
Situ Wenchang looked at the person who had once driven him to the brink of madness, a bitter smile on his lips. Now, the two of them were truly worlds apart. He finally understood one thing: he could never compete with this man.
“No need to thank me. I helped you just to make you understand that there is still some familial bond between us!”
Xiao Yufan smiled, not at all surprised by Situ Wenchang’s appearance. Whether it was opposing him in the capital or being one of the three young marshals of the north who obstructed the glorious march northward, it was all in the past.
The two of them were now in different worlds, and the previous grudges had faded a lot.
“Familial bond…” Situ Wenchang trembled, then his lips curled into a mocking smile. The Situ family led by the old master could vaguely stand shoulder to shoulder with the hidden Situ family, while their branch couldn’t even make it to the stage.
If it weren’t for this ancient martial arts conference, he wouldn’t have known that there were so many strong people in this world. What made him most unwilling was that he didn’t even have the qualification to look up to the young generation of experts.
“For such a long time, no matter which branch of the hidden Situ family, the bonds have faded a lot. The old master’s meaning is that there’s no need to fight for anything anymore. Just walk your own path well enough!”
Xiao Yufan knew that the reason Situ Wenchang opposed him was nothing more than for the title of the future young master of the Situ family. Xiao Yufan had already looked past these things, but he was very interested in the position of the future young master of the hidden Situ family.
Hearing Xiao Yufan’s words, Situ Wenchang was obviously stunned, but he quickly made up his mind because it concerned the survival of their branch in the future.
“Whether it’s the people from the northern Situ family or the southern Situ family branch, they are all willing to recognize the old master as the family head. You are also the future young master. I believe that one day, all branches of the Situ family can return to the hidden Situ family!”
Situ Wenchang’s voice wasn’t loud, but there was an indescribable firmness in it. Xiao Yufan was somewhat surprised that such words could come from this man’s mouth. It seemed that he had been greatly stimulated at the ancient martial arts conference…
“Is it really that important to return to the hidden Situ family?”
“Very important. It’s the old master’s lifelong wish. When the old master was forced to leave the hidden Situ family because of the family head, he hoped that one day he could return!”
Perhaps Xiao Yufan didn’t understand why Situ Wenchang placed so much importance on returning to the hidden Situ family, but for Situ Wenchang, this was the old master’s greatest wish in life. This was also why he had been so hostile to Xiao Yufan before.
If it weren’t for the old master of the Situ family back then, they wouldn’t have left the hidden Situ family. Situ Wenchang might not know that if they hadn’t left, they might have turned into dust under that catastrophe.
“I promise you, I won’t let the old master’s wish fall through!”
Taking a long, deep breath, Xiao Yufan’s eyes showed a bit more amusement. Situ Wenchang’s grandfather was also his elder. Since the old master’s wish was to return to the hidden Situ family, how could he bear to let that wish fall through?
Situ Wenchang smiled. He knew his choice was correct…
They still had several days before exploring that mysterious location, so Xiao Yufan decided not to dwell on it too much, though he still looked forward to it eagerly.
“Yingluo hasn’t returned. Could Hu family elders possibly come chasing after us?”
Suddenly, a serious thought struck Xiao Yufan. Knowing the Hu family’s temperament, if they found out Yingluo remained in Huaxia, who knew what trouble they might stir up? If the Hu family took Yingluo away while he was absent, he’d have quite a mess to deal with…
“Probably not! Even the most conservative Fourth Elder didn’t say anything, so would the Hu family really go to such lengths to fetch their little princess back?”
Hong Zhong chuckled, glancing toward Hu Yingluo’s delicate figure nearby, though he himself wasn’t very confident. Who could predict what those old Hu family patriarchs might do?
Xiao Yufan was naturally not a stingy person and directly passed the Annihilation Seal to Hong Zhong. If Nuo Tiangong were to find out, he might just vomit three liters of blood…
Having stepped into the innate realm, Xiao Yufan couldn’t be said to be arrogant, but he certainly didn’t hold Nuo Tiangong and others in high regard. However, when he thought of Guo Chen, he couldn’t help but feel a bit worried!
Although that guy was half-dead and rescued by Xue Hanzi, Xiao Yufan’s intuition told him that Guo Chen wouldn’t die so easily. Moreover, his luck was not shallow. This time, he had already stepped into the half-step innate realm. Who knows how terrifying he would be the next time he appeared.
There were still a few days left before exploring that mysterious place, and Xiao Yufan didn’t bother to think too much about it, but he was still very much looking forward to it.
“If Yingluo doesn’t return, will those old folks from the Hu family come after us?”
Suddenly, Xiao Yufan thought of a very serious problem. Given the nature of the Hu family, if they knew Yingluo stayed in China, they might send someone to cause trouble. If Yingluo were taken away by the Hu family while he was not around, wouldn’t he be in a lot of trouble…
“Probably not! Even the most rigid Fourth Elder didn’t say anything. The Hu family wouldn’t send someone all the way to take this little princess back, would they?”
Glancing at Hu Yingluo’s delicate figure not far away, Hong Zhong smiled and said, though he wasn’t entirely confident. Who knows what those old antiques from the Hu family would do.
Given Xiao Yufan’s status as the young master of the Tian Alliance and his achievement of stepping into the innate realm at such a young age, the Hu family probably wouldn’t push such a talented son-in-law away…
“All this talk is just nonsense!”
This guy did convince the Fourth Elder, but he didn’t dig out much from him. The Hu family wouldn’t come to China anytime soon, meaning there wouldn’t be any trouble for now. If soldiers come, we’ll block them; if water comes, we’ll use earth to cover it. No one could take his woman away from him.
Involuntarily, Xiao Yufan’s mind flashed to that figure. He vaguely remembered that woman always staying by his side.
But when he woke up, he didn’t see the figure he longed for, which disappointed him. However, he got an exciting piece of news from the girls: Cheng Ying would explore that mysterious place with him.
“No matter what your difficulties are, one day, I will keep you by my side!”

Fortunately, this time, Xiao Yufan wouldn’t do anything stupid!
“Why haven’t you left yet? Didn’t I give you everything…”
The rustling sound made Xiao Yufan think Hong Zhong hadn’t left, but he quickly realized it wasn’t Hong Zhong but someone else.
“I know I’m not welcome here. I came just to thank you!”
Sitting in front of the person who once drove him crazy, Si Tu Wenchang forced a bitter smile. Now, the two were truly worlds apart. He finally understood one thing: he could never compete with this man.
“No need to thank me. I helped you just to make you realize that there’s still some familial bond between us!”
Xiao Yufan smiled, not at all surprised by Si Tu Wenchang’s appearance. Whether it was opposing him in the capital or being one of the three young marshals of the north who obstructed the glorious march north, it was all in the past.
The two were now in different worlds, and past grievances had faded.
“Familial bond…” Si Tu Wenchang trembled, then his lips curled into a sneer. The lineage of Si Tu’s grandfather could vaguely stand shoulder to shoulder with the hidden Si Tu family, while their lineage couldn’t even make it to the stage.
If it weren’t for this martial arts conference, he wouldn’t have known there were so many strong people in this world. What made him most unwilling was that in front of the younger generation of experts, he didn’t even have the right to look up.
“For so long, whether it’s any branch of the hidden Si Tu family, the bonds have faded. Grandfather’s meaning is that there’s no need to fight for anything anymore. Just walk your own path well enough!”
Xiao Yufan knew that Si Tu Wenchang opposed him merely for the title of the future young master of the Si Tu family. But Xiao Yufan had already seen through these things. However, he was very interested in the position of the future young master of the hidden Si Tu family.
Hearing Xiao Yufan’s words, Si Tu Wenchang was obviously stunned, but he quickly made up his mind because it concerned the survival of their lineage.
“Whether it’s the Si Tu family from the north or the south, they are willing to honor Grandfather as the family head. You are also the future young master. I believe one day, all branches of the Si Tu family can return to the hidden Si Tu family!”
Si Tu Wenchang’s voice wasn’t loud, but it carried an indescribable firmness. Xiao Yufan was somewhat surprised. Hearing such words from this person’s mouth, it seemed he had been greatly stimulated at the martial arts conference…
“Is it really that important to return to the hidden Si Tu family?”
“Very important. It’s Grandfather’s lifelong wish. When Grandfather was forced to leave the hidden Si Tu family because of the old master, he hoped one day to return!”
Perhaps Xiao Yufan didn’t understand why Si Tu Wenchang placed so much importance on returning to the hidden Si Tu family, but for Si Tu Wenchang, it was Grandfather’s greatest wish. That’s why he had been so hostile to Xiao Yufan before.
If it weren’t for the old master back then, they wouldn’t have left the hidden Si Tu family. Si Tu Wenchang might not know that if they hadn’t left, they might have turned to dust under that upheaval.
“I promise you, I won’t let Grandfather’s wish fall through!”
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yufan’s eyes showed a hint of a smile. Si Tu Wenchang’s grandfather was also his elder. Since the old master’s wish was to return to the hidden Si Tu family, how could he bear to let that wish fall through?
Si Tu Wenchang smiled, knowing he had made the right choice…
“You’re just talking nonsense!”
Although this guy had convinced the Fourth Elder, he hadn’t managed to extract much information from her. In the short term, the Hu family wouldn’t arrive in Huaxia, meaning there wouldn’t be trouble for now. Whatever came, they’d handle it—nobody would take his woman away.
Unconsciously, Xiao Yufan’s mind flashed to a certain figure. In his daze, he vaguely remembered that woman staying by his side.
Yet when he awoke, he hadn’t seen that longed-for figure, which disappointed him slightly. However, from the girls, he received an exciting piece of news—Cheng Ying would accompany him to explore the mysterious location.
“No matter what hardships you’ve endured, one day I will keep you by my side forever!”
A faint smile appeared on his lips. Since that moment their eyes met at the Ancient Martial Arts Gathering, Xiao Yufan had understood much. At least, he now knew Ying’er had left for reasons beyond her control, just as he had suspected.
Yet whether it was their breakup or their reencounter at the wedding, Ying’er had concealed her true feelings so well that he overlooked the most important thing—their deep bond, slowly forged from their youthful days.
It was because of his pitiful vanity that he had repeatedly let go of her hand. At the moment Ye Kong revealed those truths, how could his regret be expressed in mere words?
Thankfully, this time, Xiao Yufan wouldn’t make the same foolish mistakes again.
“Why haven’t you left yet? Didn’t I already give you everything…”
Hearing rustling sounds, Xiao Yufan assumed it was Hong Zhong who hadn’t left yet, but he quickly realized the visitor wasn’t Hong Zhong—it was someone else.
“I must be unwelcome here, but I came only to thank you!”
Situ Wenchang looked at the man who had once driven him to madness, a bitter smile playing on his lips. The two of them were now truly worlds apart, and he finally understood—he would never be able to compete with this man.
“There’s no need for thanks. I helped you only to make you realize that there’s still some familial bond between us.”
Xiao Yufan smiled, unshaken by Situ Wenchang’s appearance. Whether it was opposing him in the capital or obstructing his northern campaign as one of the Northern Three Young Commanders, all of that was in the past.
Now in different worlds, their old grudges had faded.
“Familial bond…” Situ Wenchang trembled slightly, then sneered. The old master’s branch of the Situ family had nearly matched the hidden Situ Clan, while his own branch couldn’t even stand on any stage.
If not for this Martial Arts Gathering, he wouldn’t even know how many powerful individuals existed in the world. What frustrated him most was that even among the younger generation, he didn’t have the qualification to look up to them.
“So much time has passed, and all branches of the hidden Situ Clan have weakened their rivalry. My grandfather believes there’s no need to fight anymore; everyone should just walk their own path.”
Xiao Yufan knew that Situ Wenchang had opposed him merely for the title of the Situ Clan’s future heir, but he had long since grown indifferent to such things. However, he did desire the position of heir to the hidden Situ Clan.
Upon hearing Xiao Yufan’s words, Situ Wenchang was clearly stunned, yet he quickly resolved himself, as this decision concerned the survival of his lineage.
“Whether it’s the northern Situ family or the southern branch, all are willing to accept the old master as the head of the family. You are the future young master. I believe one day all Situ branches will reunite under the hidden Situ Clan!”
Situ Wenchang’s voice wasn’t loud, yet it carried an unshakable determination. Xiao Yufan was somewhat surprised—such words from this man showed that the Martial Arts Gathering had deeply shaken him.
“Is returning to the hidden Situ Clan really that important?”
“It is. It’s my grandfather’s lifelong wish. When he was forced to leave the hidden Situ Clan because of the old master, he always hoped to return one day!”
Perhaps Xiao Yufan couldn’t fully understand why Situ Wenchang placed such importance on returning to the hidden Situ Clan, but for Situ Wenchang, this was his grandfather’s greatest wish in life. It was also the reason he had previously treated Xiao Yufan with such hostility.
If not for the old Situ Clan leader back then, would their branch have ever left the hidden Situ Clan? Perhaps Situ Wenchang didn’t realize that had they not left, they might have perished in that ancient upheaval.
“I promise you, I won’t let your grandfather’s wish go unfulfilled!”
Letting out a long breath, Xiao Yufan’s eyes softened with a smile. Situ Wenchang’s grandfather was, after all, his senior. How could he bear to let such a heartfelt wish remain unfulfilled?
Situ Wenchang smiled. He knew—he had made the right choice…
