Ling Fan thought for a moment and nodded, saying to Chu Tiange, "Add one more person, do you have any objections?"
"Ah, Mr. Ling, you speak as if we are strangers. I am overjoyed! Brother Liu Ke surviving the clutches of that old demon is proof of his genius among geniuses. And surviving a great disaster often brings future fortune. If he can join our Governor's Mansion, I would wake up laughing in my dreams!"
"Thank you, Brother Ling Fan! I will cultivate diligently and strive to become strong soon so I can help Brother Ling Fan."
Liu Xiran's trace of unease in her eyes turned into resolve, and she said with her head held high.
Ling Fan smiled slightly and nodded.
The geniuses from Xing Sha City looked on with envy, jealousy, and hatred, their mouths practically watering.
That was the most powerful Governor's Mansion in the Tian Chu Province!
With a single word, Ling Fan sent Liu Xiran and Liu Ke to the Governor's Mansion for cultivation. What astonishing power this was.
Ling Fan said, "Everyone else, disperse!"
The powerhouses of Xing Sha City dared not disobey and retreated one after another.
Liu Yubei, supported by Liu Xiwei, also left dejectedly.
Liu Xiwei hesitated, looking back repeatedly.
However, Ling Fan did not even glance at her from beginning to end.
Liu Xiran said with some pity, "Brother Ling Fan, can you not make things difficult for my father and sister? They were just momentarily confused, not intentional..."
Ling Fan looked at her sternly and said, "Ranran, you must understand that when people make mistakes, they must accept punishment. If a mistake can be rectified with a mere 'it was unintentional,' then people will continue to make mistakes, as they won't have to bear the consequences!"
Liu Xiran nodded, as if she understood.
"Huh!"
Suddenly, Chu Tiange exclaimed. He looked at Ji Hong's back, his face filled with thought.
"Huh!"
Suddenly, Chu Tiange exclaimed. He looked at Ji Hong's back, his face filled with thought.
Liang Hugu said dismissively, "What are you shouting about, you brat!"
Chu Tiange said, "The tattoo on this young man's back looks so familiar."
Hearing him say this, everyone looked at Ji Hong's back.
Ji Hong was bare-chested, and on his shoulder blades, a fierce wolf's head was tattooed.
Liang Hugu said indifferently, "What's so surprising about this? There are plenty of martial artists with tattoos, some even have a green dragon on the left and a white tiger on the right!"
Chu Tiange said, "Tattoos are indeed common, but his tattoo is somewhat special. Old Han, do you remember? It seems our Tian Chu City has a family crest that is a dark wolf's head."
"You mean the Ji family."
Old Han nodded and said.
"The Ji family... this kid is also surnamed Ji. Could he be from that Ji family!" Liang Hugu said.
Chu Tiange said, "It's very possible! Whether it is or not, I'll take him to the Ji family to ask, and we'll know."
Ji Hong looked at Ling Fan somewhat helplessly.
He didn't know what to do for a moment.
He had been raised by demonic beasts since he was young and had long accepted the fact that he had no parents and no family.
Now, to suddenly be told that he was not an orphan and had a family, he found it difficult to accept.
His thinking was closer to that of demonic beasts; he always acted on his instincts and did not know how to think about these complex issues.
Ling Fan asked Ji Hong calmly, "Do you want to find out about your origins? If you do, then follow them to Tian Chu City. If you feel it's unnecessary, then don't go."
After a long silence, Ji Hong said, "I, I want to, find out, who I, am."
Ling Fan nodded.
Chu Tiange waved his hand and said, "Mr. Ling, rest assured, I will handle this matter!"
"Mm."
Ling Fan then instructed Liu Xiran and Ji Hong, "If you encounter any difficulties, have Chu Tiange notify me."
After speaking, Ling Fan did not linger.
He bid them a hasty farewell and began to rush back to Jiangnan City.
He had been out for almost a month. Calculating the time, the first tribulation of Lan Xueyi's Nine Deaths Spirit Phoenix Body was approaching!
He needed to return immediately to prepare to help Lan Xueyi overcome the tribulation.
Just after Ling Fan left.
What happened before the Xing Sha City ruins quickly fermented and spread throughout Xing Sha City.
In an instant, the entire city was in an uproar!
Since Ling Fan arrived in Xing Sha City, too many things had happened in less than a month.
First, the young city lord Xiong Fei attempted to assault Liu Xiran in the Tianxin Tower but was severely humiliated by Ling Fan's servant, Liang Hugu.
Following that, Ling Fan and his servant caused a disturbance at the Xing Sha City Martial Arts Gathering.
Liang Hugu once again killed two Xuan Gang realm experts, forcing the Xing Sha City Lord's Mansion to bow down.
At that time, everyone thought Ling Fan was just a good-for-nothing dandy from Jiangnan City.
They believed he was merely acting recklessly by relying on his servant's strength.
However, in today's battle, Ling Fan fought three opponents alone.
Three quasi-Tian Yuan realm experts were killed, injured, or driven mad.
Even the Governor's Mansion's enshrined elder, Han Lao, was defeated and convinced.
These events, one after another,
thoroughly shocked everyone.
They finally realized that they had completely misjudged him before.
The truly formidable one was not Ling Fan's servant.
But Ling Fan himself!
He had the capital to be arrogant and look down on everyone.
The streets and alleys of Xing Sha City were all abuzz with Ling Fan's incredible feats.
Perhaps for ordinary people, they had no concept of Ling Fan defeating three quasi-Tian Yuan realm experts.
However, the Xiong family, the city lord's mansion, being deposed because of Ling Fan's words,
made them truly feel the immense power and authority Ling Fan wielded.
For the common people of Xing Sha City, the city lord's mansion was undoubtedly heaven and the law.
Yet, Ling Fan had easily trampled upon the heaven and law in their eyes.
This was simply unbelievably powerful.
It was heard that the new city lord was given the position of city lord for free by Ling Fan simply for hosting him for one night.
This made countless people envious.
These past few days, Tianxin Tower and its owner Mei Youqian had been extremely glorious, busily preparing for the grand ceremony.
Compared to the liveliness of Tianxin Tower,
the Liu family was in extreme decline.
At this point in time, the Liu family should have been the most glorious in Xing Sha City...
Since returning to the Liu family, Liu Xiwei had locked herself in her boudoir, refusing to open the door no matter who knocked. Liu Yubei had no choice but to let her be.
Inside Tianxin Tower.
Chu Tiange and Elder Han gazed out at the entire Xing Sha City. Chu Tiange said, "Elder Han, can Mr. Ling truly rival a Tian Yuan realm martial arts master?"
Elder Han pondered for a long time before solemnly saying, "I have fought with Tian Yuan realm martial arts masters, and I feel he is even more dangerous than an ordinary martial arts master! Do you think this is all his skill? No, I always feel that he hasn't used his full strength at all!"
"Whether it's his ability to easily break formations in the ruins, or the Star River Son, who had cultivated a spirit body and invaded his body, only to be killed by him, or the spiritual energy dagger he used when defeating Luo Su, he hasn't used these means yet!"
