Huaxia, Binzhou.
At this ti, Ling Fan had already left the café with Qiao Yuchan and returned to Yun Fei's villa.
"What's the situation, any news?" Yun Fei asked eagerly as she saw Ling Fan return.
She had been waiting in the living room, and both Li ngying and Yao Yue also ca forward to inquire.
"Yes, there's news. She was captured by the Murong Family of the West Sacred Mountain!" Ling Fan said expressionlessly.
"What?" Yun Fei was surprised. She had never heard of the Murong Family of the West Sacred Mountain.
In fact, she wasn't even aware of the existence of the hidden Noble Houses of the Five Peaks, neither were Li ngying and Yao Yue, all clueless!
"Xiao Chubing's biological mother is from one of the Noble Houses of the Five Peaks, the Murong Family. The one who captured her is actually her grandfather!" Seeing Ling Fan's grim expression, Qiao Yuchan hesitated before explaining to everyone.
Upon hearing this, Yun Fei and the others had faces full of astonishnt. Xiao Chubing's biological mother?
About Xiao Chubing's real heritage, aside from Ling Fan and the forr Xiao Family, almost no one knew. Qiao Yuchan was oblivious to where all these were happening.
Seeing everyone's reaction, she suddenly felt a jolt in her heart and stealthily glanced at Ling Fan, wondering if she had said too much!
Ling Fan gave a bitter smile. Since there were no outsiders present, he briefly explained the whole situation.
"Now that you know. Keep this to yourselves!" He admonished them after he had finished speaking.
Even though Ling Fan spoke lightly, Yun Fei and the others felt suffocated and beca extrely angry, their eyes reddening—won are emotional and cannot withstand such tragedies!
"I will be leaving imdiately for the West Sacred Mountain. How are things going with the handover of the company affairs?" Ling Fan asked Yun Fei and Li ngying.
"We've handed over authority, but we still control the actual stakes!" Yun Fei replied.
"Good, wait till you have mostly recovered in these two days. You, Xiao Ying, and Yao Yue can go to Zhongnan Academy. The resources and environnt there will help you grow faster!" Ling Fan instructed them.
"Yes, we understand!" Yun Fei was sowhat excited and thrilled inside. The Martial Cultivation World—she was finally going to delve into this mysterious world.
Yao Yue had no objections, wherever Ling Fan said to go, she would follow.
"By the way, may I bring An Xiyao with ?" Yao Yue hesitated before asking.
"Yes, you can!"
"Alright!" Yao Yue nodded.
She was just asking casually; those two sisters had plenty of secular affairs to deal with, and it might not be easy to leave anyti soon. The company affairs were manageable.
But visiting the old ho was always necessary, and if she truly stepped into the world of martial cultivation, it would be hard to turn back!
"Do you want to go to the academy as well?" Ling Fan turned and looked at Qiao Yuchan.
"No, there's no difference for being at ho or at the academy, and besides, it might not be better than my Qiao Family!" Qiao Yuchan shook her head. If she had wanted to go, she would have gone long ago. She was not very fond of the academy.
"By the way, do you want to accompany you to the Murong Family in the West Sacred Mountain?"
"No need, I can handle it. With such indifferent familial ties, it's better I deal with it myself!" Ling Fan's gaze was steely. He had never seen such cold-hearted kin.
anwhile, in the Northern Region, soone reported the news about Yin Tianzu to Ye Long.
"Haha, no need to worry. If that Dragon Gate dares to make trouble here, especially by seeking trouble with Ling Beiming, it would be odd if Yin Tianzu could survive!" Ye Long chuckled disdainfully.
"By the way, keep an eye on the movents of the Dragon Gate. Report back any signs of activity imdiately!"
"Understood!" The spy respectfully took the order and then withdrew.
....
Imperial Capital, Long Family.
Long Zhengye was sitting in the villa's grand hall, his face sowhat unpleasant, while Long Tianjun stood by silently, similarly feeling complex emotions.
During this period, Yin Tianzu from the Dragon Gate had crossed the seas and swept through the Huaxia Martial Cultivation World, seeking revenge against Ling Fan. This matter stirred up quite a storm and particularly caught the attention of the Long Family.
Because Long Tianjun had a wide circle of acquaintances and was knowledgeable in many areas, he was connected to the mbers of Dragon Gate, including Xiong Tianlu, who was sent to Binzhou and later killed by Ling Fan.
Moreover, Ling Fan was considered a mortal enemy of the Long Family. They were naturally highly concerned and pleased to see soone handling this troublemaker.
However, contrary to their wishes, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointnt. Just when the Long Family was eagerly waiting, the formidable Yin Tianzu was unexpectedly killed by Ling Fan!
This loss was a significant blow to the Long Family, as they had never imagined Ling Fan had beco so powerful, to a point that worried the Long Family!
"Father, what should we do next!" Long Tianjun deeply furrowed his brow.
Their blood feud with Ling Fan was unresolvable. Even if they were willing to let go, Ling Fan certainly would not cease his efforts.
"We can't wait any longer. If we continue to let him grow, it will be extrely detrintal to our Family. He has beco a tiger we nursed in our midst, and we must not allow this bastard to grow any further!" Long Zhengye said firmly.
This ti, Long Tianjun did not contradict his father's words. Previously, he had mocked Ling Fan as being unworthy of being called a tiger, referring to him rely as a dog, but now, he dared not say such things.
"I shall ask my master to take action," Long Tianjun pondered aloud.
"Hmm, you make the trip personally. We cannot be careless with this bastard. Also, try to bring Feng Shuya to the Imperial Capital, lure Ling Fan here, and then it will be easier to take action!
We need to plan this carefully. We absolutely cannot allow the tiger to return to the mountain. You may go now. This matter is of great importance; I need to consult your grandfather about it!" Long Zhengye said with a sharp look.
At this ti, in the Leng Family in the Imperial Capital.
"Father, that Yin Tianzu from Dragon Gate was actually killed by Ling Fan, falling at Binhai Imperial Lake. The grudge we suffered previously at the Su Family, should we still seek revenge? The Long Family really knows how to hold their breath; up to now, they've made no moves!" Leng Zhenyu said gloomily.
The strength of Ling Fan had exceeded his imagination. Facing such a high-level opponent, seeking revenge was easier said than done!
"Not necessarily. How do you know that Yin Tianzu's arrival had nothing to do with the Long Family? As far as I know, before Long Tianjun knew of Ling Fan's background, they had already had a conflict!
The person who later went to Binzhou to trouble Ling Fan was also from Dragon Gate, and he was killed too!" Leng Liangce said wisely, leaning on his cane.
Upon hearing this, Leng Zhenyu's spirits lifted, and he fixed his gaze on his father, realizing that his father had also been paying close attention to this matter.
"Father, do we still proceed with any actions?" Leng Zhenyu hesitated.
Leng Liangce tapped his cane's handle lightly, speaking indifferently, "We are among the three major families in the Imperial Capital. Even the Martial Arts World dare not provoke us easily. There's no way we can lower our heads to that lad. At this level, dignity is more important than anything else."
Leng Zhenyu quickly nodded, "Father, I understand!"
"Hmm, has there been any movent from the Xiang Family?" Leng Liangce spoke indifferently.
"Not exactly; I heard that the Xiang Family has been dealing with so matters lately, and they seldom engage in external affairs concerning the Martial Arts World!" Leng Zhenyu replied.
Leng Liangce nodded, "I'll go to the Long Family and see what Old Man Long thinks."
Leng Zhenyu was suddenly startled, "Father, you're going to the Long Family?"
"Hehe, at tis like these, what we need is to join hands. A win-win situation is the best outco. Surely, Old Man Long is even more eager than . Ling Fan might not co after us again, but he certainly won't let the Long Family off easily!" Leng Liangce smiled faintly.
Leng Zhenyu finally understood; if the two families joined forces, they were essentially worry-free!
As Ling Fan headed alone to West Sacred Mountain, various forces also began to stir eagerly!
