268: Chapter 268 Family Gathering, Gu Ling's Investment Talent!

Upon hearing his elder brother Duan Xuan's words.

A glimmer of hope couldn't help but flash in Fang Tong's eyes.

If his elder brother Duan Xuan could defeat Li Fan head-on, it might not completely resolve the issue of Li Fan being his inner demon, but it would significantly lessen his fear of Li Fan.

After all, he was well aware of his elder brother Duan Xuan's true strength.

If Duan Xuan could defeat Li Fan, it would mean he could finally see the exact gap between himself and Li Fan, so he wouldn't even lack the courage to face him.

"Judging from the videos, Li Fan should have gone to the Secret Heart Zone with Dean Liusha. Whether he's come out yet is unknown, but I can go investigate right now."

Fang Tong spoke up immediately.

After receiving Duan Xuan's nod of approval, Fang Tong promptly left the estate to begin inquiring about Li Fan's situation.

...

Elsewhere.

Li Fan was currently being taken by several staff members to the estate assigned to him.

It was noticeable that ever since learning Li Fan had comprehended Law Power, even the staff members now looked at him differently.

Their gazes held a mix of admiration, curiosity, and a trace of excitement.

After so many years, the academy had finally produced another 'wild' top-tier prodigy!

The last one was Huo Feng.

Now it was Li Fan.

And judging by Li Fan's performance, he seemed even more formidable than Huo Feng.

Before long.

Li Fan's estate came into view.

Li Fan's estate was also located on the outskirts of the core area, alongside many other New Students. However, as the champion of the New Student Competition,

Li Fan's estate was indeed much more spacious than others', with more complete facilities, and even the distance to the core area was shorter.

"Li Fan, this is your identity card. It contains your Student information. Using this to log into the academy's official website, you can view all ongoing and upcoming lectures, courses, and some practical training programs within the academy."

...

After escorting Li Fan to the estate, the staff member briefly explained the academy's rules, regulations, and some precautions before gradually taking his leave.

Looking at this brand-new, large estate, Li Fan's first move was to casually find a spot to lie down, close his eyes, and rest.

During this period, he had been constantly cultivating and contemplating, leaving his energy somewhat depleted, or rather, his spirit somewhat fatigued.

Now, he finally had some rare time to rest.

And not long after.

Li Fan logged into the virtual network after a long absence.

He planned to contact his family.

Ever since setting out for Huangchen Academy, his focus had been entirely on cultivation, leaving him no time to spare for family gatherings or casual chats.

The moment Li Fan came online,

Huang Lan and Li Daguo, parents, noticed immediately and hurried to Li Fan's personal virtual space.

Reunited after a long separation, parents were incredibly happy and excited.

Having been offline for so long, parents had been constantly worried something might have happened to Li Fan. Seeing him online again was a great relief.

Soon after,

parents began chatting with Li Fan about the interesting things they'd seen and heard during their recent travels across the universe.

Though they called it traveling the universe, they hadn't even left the Tianlan Star Domain.

There was no helping it.

The universe was simply too vast.

Traveling at parents' pace, they'd likely never leave the Wushan Seat in their lifetime.

However, listening to parents' vivid descriptions and their occasional playful bickering, Li Fan found it quite entertaining. It felt like a dream, recalling the time on Blue Star when he lived with parents.

This atmosphere was truly healing for Li Fan.

Soon, Gu Ling also saw Huang Lan's message and rushed over.

The moment she saw Li Fan, she threw herself into his arms, her expression filled with excitement.

Watching this scene, parents on the side were immensely pleased.

They were extremely satisfied with this daughter-in-law.

However, because their son Li Fan had to leave home for certain reasons and couldn't provide much companionship, parents felt somewhat guilty towards this daughter-in-law.

And looking at Gu Ling in his arms, wasn't Li Fan feeling the same?

Towards Gu Ling, he had always felt a sense of indebtedness.

Not long after marrying Gu Ling, he went to Silver Dragon Central City and hadn't returned since.

The time they had actually spent together was truly minimal.

"Xiao Fan, cultivation is important, but you should also consider finding time to come back, spend time with Lingling properly, and if there's time, maybe add a child or two to our Li family."

At this moment, his mother Huang Lan spoke up.

Immediately after, Li Daguo beside her also spoke,

"Your mother is right. Cultivation is important, but family is equally important. I'll make a decision for you. Once you've settled matters at the academy, find time to return to Blue Star. Unless you add a child or two, don't leave again for a while."

As soon as parents said this,

Both Gu Ling and Li Fan blushed deeply.

Li Fan managed somewhat better, but Gu Ling had already buried her face deeply in Li Fan's chest.

After a good while, Gu Ling finally looked at Li Fan and spoke softly,

"Mom and Dad are just joking. I'm fine. Focus on your cultivation. Just spend time with me when you have the leisure. I'll always be waiting for you at home."

Gu Ling's words warmed Li Fan's heart.

Immediately, Li Fan also made a promise.

"In the short term, I probably still won't be able to return because the Inheritance Competition is coming up soon. It's very important to me."

"But after the Inheritance Competition ends, I'll find time to return to Blue Star."

Hearing this, a flicker of anticipation shone in Gu Ling's eyes as she smiled and nodded.

Afterwards,

Through casual conversation, Li Fan also learned about Gu Ling's recent situation.

Ever since Li Fan gave Gu Ling a sum of startup capital last time,

Gu Ling had established an investment company.

Currently, its scale had successfully surpassed 1.5 trillion cosmic coins. In less than half a year, the company's asset size had multiplied seven or eightfold.

It must be said,

Gu Ling's talent in business and economics truly exceeded Li Fan's expectations.

Although this scale, viewed across the entire universe or even just the Tianlan Star Domain, was still only a micro-enterprise,

this was after less than half a year.

Given enough time, her potential would undoubtedly be unimaginable.

Unconsciously,

several hours had already passed in the blink of an eye.

Time spent together is always fleeting.

Li Fan logged out of the virtual network, pulling his mind and body back to the academy.

Now he had finally officially embarked on the chapter of cultivation within the academy.

He needed to quickly gain a comprehensive understanding of all the resources available to him within the academy, so he could enhance his strength at the fastest possible pace.

Subsequently, Li Fan logged into the academy's official website.

After inputting his Student information,

a dense schedule of courses and introductions to various resource sections filled Li Fan's view.

It must be said, an academy founded by an Immortal Level being truly had profound heritage! The depth here was real!

Many of the lecture contents and rare resources listed here would absolutely be considered major opportunities if found outside.

Yet within the academy, they were as numerous as hairs on an ox!

No wonder many Immortal Level forces chose to send their descendants here to cultivate. Here, one wouldn't 'go hungry,' and could genuinely learn things!

However, before Li Fan could delve into a detailed study,

a shout came from not far away.

"Brother Fan!"

"Brother Li!"

The newcomers were none other than

Peng Song, Luo Ling, Duan Ping, and Duan Linger, the four of them.
