Are you so angry?
Xiao Fan had never understood why the Child of Destiny always slapped the faces of ordinary people. Was it because they were easy to bully?
It was quite pitiful, to be honest.
These nobodies originally lived according to the rules, but their lives were turned upside down after encountering the Child of Destiny.
At best, they would lose a layer of skin and avoid a killing tribulation; at worst, they would die.
Someone always had to be Chen Ye’s stepping stone, and these ordinary people were the best stepping stones.
When everyone heard someone speaking up for the servants, they curiously turned their gazes.
Especially many women, seeing Xiao Fan’s appearance and attire, felt incredibly amazed.
He completely exceeded what they had imagined in their hearts.
And he was so kind, even speaking up for servants.
The Elder saw that the person who came was NanGong XiMeng and quickly said, “Greetings, Young Miss.”
“Elder, there’s no need for such courtesy. They haven’t committed a great mistake, so let’s just drop it.”
Since NanGong XiMeng had spoken, the Elder naturally would not defy her, merely nodding and saying, “Alright.”
“You few, why aren’t you quickly thanking the Young Miss for her great kindness?”
The servants felt relieved and repeatedly kowtowed and knelt in gratitude to Xiao Fan and the other person.
Xiao Fan waved his hand, telling them to withdraw.
With a slight smile, he casually said to Chen Ye, “You’re Ye Chen, right?”
Chen Ye’s expression remained unchanged, but in his heart, he felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy.
Why did he give him such a strong sense of oppression? He hadn’t done anything, just smiled and greeted him.
He suppressed the unease in his heart, forced a smile, and said, “Yes, I am Ye Chen.”
Xiao Fan made no movements, and his aura was normal.
He said, “I heard there’s a grand competition for entertainment later. What place do you think you can get?”
Chen Ye said, “You didn’t even ask if I’m participating, and you’re directly asking me what place I’ll get?”
“I just asked casually. I’m rooting for you.”
Xiao Fan said it inadvertently, and in the eyes of outsiders, it was a friendly greeting.
But only Chen Ye, who was facing Xiao Fan directly, knew how strong the oppressive feeling was from the person standing before him.
By the time Xiao Fan passed him, he was already sweating profusely, not even daring to breathe loudly.
“Oh right, everyone has to give a gift upon entering, don’t they?” Xiao Fan asked the Elder.
The Elder immediately said, “Young Master-in-law, there’s no need for that. The Family Head said that the gift you privately gave him was already sufficient, and there’s no need to give anything else.”
“That won’t do. The last one was a first-meeting gift; they can’t be mixed up.”
As he spoke, he flipped his hand, and a brand-new scroll appeared in his hand.
The scroll’s shaft was made of a precious wood, imbued with the aura of Chaos, and on the shaft were several green buds, containing vibrant life force.
This vibrant life force was unparalleled in the world.
The scroll pages were not ordinary paper, but textured green leaves, lush and vibrant, as if freshly picked.
The leaves and the shaft shared the same aura, coming from the same Origin.
Some knowledgeable people recognized where these two items came from at a glance.
“I’ve seen the texture of these leaves. This aura is too familiar.”
“The branches and new leaves of the Chaos Origin Divine Tree, and they’re from the most essential part of the main trunk.”
“…”
Among those present, there were quite a few beings who had lived for several epochs.
Even if they hadn’t seen the appearance of the Divine Tree, they had at least heard of its prestige.
That was a Divine Tree that blessed myriad realms!
Regardless of the content inside, the scroll’s Materials alone were rare in the world.
The guests present watched this scene, their hearts in their throats.
What kind of family was this, using such a supreme treasure as a congratulatory gift?
Xiao Fan cleanly unrolled the scroll, and golden light shone brightly.
After the light dissipated, a scroll filled with sword techniques was revealed.
A small stick figure of a sword-wielder practiced sword moves on it, their movements flowing like water.
Just by looking, one could silently immerse themselves, and even someone who had never studied the Dao of the Sword could understand it.
Truly, the Great Dao is simple.
What was even more astonishing was that the Holy Intention within it was incredibly rich.
It was as if a Saint was personally guiding you face-to-face.
After a brief display, Xiao Fan casually tossed the scroll to the Elder, as if it were an ordinary item.
The Elder, however, dared not be as careless as him, holding it in his palm as if it were a supreme treasure, his eyes filled with burning desire.
Xiao Fan said, “These are sword moves personally written by a Sword Saint, the kind you learn just by looking at them.”
“It doesn’t have a name yet; you can name it yourselves.”
With that, he left with NanGong XiMeng.
Only a crowd of people remained in place, disheveled by the wind.
NanGong XiMeng increasingly found Xiao Fan unfathomable. No, how did you get a Sword Saint’s masterpiece?
“Husband, where did you get that sword Dao scroll, and personally drawn by a Sword Saint?”
“I am the son of a Sword Saint, so having a Sword Saint’s scroll is quite reasonable, isn’t it?”
“But the ink on it isn’t even dry. You just made it, didn’t you?”
“Although I really don’t want to admit it, my father is a Sword Saint, and a Sword Saint’s son is naturally also a Sword Saint, and I am no exception. It’s normal for the ink not to be dry when I, a Sword Saint, draw such exquisite sword moves, and I was a bit rushed for time, right?”
He continued, “It’s all because the enemies are too weak. I always finish them in one move. Next time I have a chance, I’ll show you a thing or two and let you see what a Sword Saint is.”
NanGong XiMeng only felt he was teasing her, but she cooperated and said, “Alright, then I look forward to the moment my Sword Saint husband draws his sword.”
“You don’t believe me?”
“I do.”
“But I feel like you’re being perfunctory.”
“How could I be? Your humble wife is very sincere, alright.”
“…”
The two chatted and laughed, deeply in love, truly making others envious.
Returning to the entrance where gifts were received, everyone was still somewhat in disbelief.
This dense, tangible Holy Intention was definitely the work of a Saint.
“A, a Sword Saint’s masterpiece?”
Chen Ye’s feelings were the strongest; he had once received a Saint’s Legacy.
But compared to the scroll before him, there was a world of difference; they were incomparable.
“This, this, this… you all continue, I’ll go report to the Family Head first.”
The Elder immediately set off to report to Nangong Bo; it was truly too astonishing.
As for the Saintly Way Incomplete Manual.
Although it contained the secret to becoming a Saint, even if an Incomplete Manual had a secret, it was still a fragmented version.
But this scroll was brand new, complete, and its Holy Intention was extremely rich, and it was even rumored to be the work of a Sword Saint!
A genuine, supreme treasure!
The Elder left without bothering to deal with Chen Ye.
It’s not about not knowing the goods; it’s about comparing them.
Chen Ye’s Incomplete Manual appeared dim and lackluster in comparison to this sword Dao scroll.
His thunder was stolen, and he was ignored as a result.
It was his first time failing to show off in public.
“Damn it, who exactly are you?!”
“Ding, the Child of Destiny Chen Ye is furious, Host gains ten million Villain Points.”
“Ding, the Child of Destiny Chen Ye failed to show off and is discontent, Host gains ten million Villain Points.”
“…”
A series of rewards surprised Xiao Fan. He could get furious just by having his thunder stolen? Was his Heart-Nature that bad?
Xiao Fan took his seat on the viewing platform, right next to the main seat.
How to deal with this Child of Destiny later, that was a question.
As he pondered, Xiao Fang flew in on a white immortal crane, pouncing into his arms like a little sprite.
“Daddy, I’m back.”
Behind her, there was also a tiger leashed with a chain, fawningly trailing her.
If it weren’t for the character ‘King’ on its forehead, its fawning and adorable appearance would simply be that of a docile large cat.
She first greeted Xiao Fan, and after some cuddling, she flew into Xi Meng’s arms.
Xiao Fang wrinkled her delicate nose, wondering, “Sister Xi Meng, why do you smell like Daddy?”
NanGong XiMeng’s pretty face flushed red, not knowing what to say.
Children’s words are innocent.
Fortunately, Xiao Fang was also one to say whatever came to mind and didn’t say much more.
After greeting them, she slipped away again.
Xiao Fan smiled. This child seemed to quite like it here. Perhaps he could let her roam freely here.
Time passed bit by bit, and finally, Nangong Bo made his appearance.
The curtain was drawn.
