Chapter 672: The South Sea Region

Xiao Yufan didn’t know much about the Hidden Situ Clan, nor did he share the elders’ sense of belonging toward it…

However, they would definitely return to the Hidden Situ Clan. With the current momentum of the Tian Alliance, which was now no weaker than any guardian temple, the Hidden Situ Clan would be foolish not to welcome them with open arms.

Situ Wenchang didn’t try to keep Xiao Yufan longer. After undergoing the trials of the Ancient Martial Arts Tournament, his character had matured somewhat, and the burden on his shoulders had grown heavier.

A few days wasn’t a long time, yet it passed quickly. Xiao Yufan hadn’t even settled in properly before it was time to leave again. During the martial arts tournament, he had been accompanied by four beauties, but now he was once again flying solo.

Luckily, Xiao Yufan knew this journey wouldn’t be too lonely—after all, Ying’er would be by his side!

“Pervert, why do you look so reluctant? It’s not like you won’t come back soon!”

At the moment of departure, Nie Shiyun looked at Xiao Yufan’s innocent smile and playfully glared at him with a pout, her delicate hand gently smoothing out the wrinkles on his clothes, just like a newlywed wife seeing off her husband.

“But leaving you, my dear Shiyun, I’m afraid I won’t be able to bear the longing!”

He casually pulled her slender waist closer, his hand gently gliding through her silky hair as he inhaled her subtle fragrance, getting lost in the scent that he loved most—Shiyun’s unique aroma.

“Flattery! I guess none of my sisters can keep you in check. At least this time, Cheng Ying will be there watching over you!”

Her delicate, fair profile turned slightly red. Nie Shiyun had always maintained her image as the big sister among the girls, but this little pervert was always so bold with her. Yet, thinking that she had already given herself completely to her husband, her shyness gradually faded.

After learning about Cheng Ying from Xian’er and Yanran, Shiyun naturally knew that this journey to the mysterious place would involve another beautiful woman staying close to her husband.

“I’ll miss you all so much, especially my dear Shiyun…”

Xiao Yufan’s gaze swept across the girls, but to his frustration, they each sent him a seductive glance. If it weren’t for pressing matters, he would have taken the opportunity to teach these girls a lesson—one by one.

Just thinking about soon seeing Cheng Ying filled Xiao Yufan’s heart with uncontrollable excitement. The deep feelings hidden in his heart surged forth like a spring, endless and unstoppable.

This expedition to the mysterious location would likely be fraught with danger. Otherwise, why would the Guardian Temple release such a secret piece of information? Their motives were probably far from pure.

Full of emotion and tenderness, Xiao Yufan finally disappeared from the girls’ sight, under their gentle gazes…

Only recently had Xiao Yufan learned that this mysterious location was actually in the South Sea, rumored to be a group of islands cloaked in mystery. Recently, rumors had spread that this archipelago was actually a relic left behind from the previous ancient martial era.

Anything related to the last ancient martial era was seen as valuable by many—including the Guardian Temples. After all, the current martial world was still in its early stages of revival, far from matching the glory of the last golden age.

Even more importantly, this time, not only those who ranked in the top ten of the Ancient Martial Arts Tournament had gained the qualification to enter this mysterious place in the South Sea, but many young disciples from the Guardian Temples were also joining in. This journey was sure to become another fierce battle among titans…
