Chapter 1596: Imperial Envoy

In Xiao Fan's view, even if Zhao Yanfu and Lier were not his own wife and child, the Imperial family still had a responsibility to protect its citizens. And yet… this Imperial family was such a failure.

Hearing Xiao Fan speak so resolutely, both the Head of the Zhao Family and Zhao Yanfu remained silent.

"Come on, Lier, Daddy will take you out for a walk, how about it?"

Xiao Fan smiled happily; he hadn't been out once since arriving at the Zhao Family City.

"Is that okay?" Lier asked in a small voice, his face full of excitement.

"Of course it is," Xiao Fan said.

"That's great!" The boy jumped up with joy.

Since he could remember, he had rarely left the small courtyard, let alone left the main residence of the Zhao Family.

"Yanfu, let's go…" Xiao Fan smiled.

"Okay." Zhao Yanfu nodded. She hesitated for a moment, then added, "Um… I'll go call Lianchang to come with us."

"This… sure." Seeing his two wives getting along so well, Xiao Fan was naturally more than happy.

As for that guy Wei Zhongshan, Xiao Fan hadn't seen him in the last few days! He had been visiting each Elder's home one by one! Having the time of his life.

Xiao Fan took the two women, held Lier's hand, and went out…

The Imperial envoy who had gone to the Zhao Family left in a rage. "That brat is too arrogant… to dare to humiliate me, to humiliate the Imperial family, he is courting death!!"

After leaving the Zhao Family City, this envoy ran wildly all the way. He wanted to tell Kong Su word for word what Xiao Fan had said to humiliate him.

Even if he knew this brat was a Prodigy. But now, showing contempt for the Imperial family and speaking treasonous words… he deserved to die!

It must be said that the rule of absolute Imperial power in the Youming Prefecture was deeply rooted. … Xiao Fan didn't care about any of this. He was very happy accompanying Lier today.

He had come to the Youming Prefecture just to ensure his wife and child were safe… He was in no rush regarding his feud with the Demon and Monster Races. And the Seventh Elder of the Zhao Family… he was in no rush to kill him either.

One day later. The Imperial envoy risked his life to rush back to the Imperial City of the Youming Prefecture to meet the ruler, Kong Su.

"Your Majesty… that brat is treacherous, he actually spoke rebellious words… Your Majesty, you must punish him!!"

The messenger recounted everything that had happened at the Zhao Family. Kong Su's face flushed with anger, and he slammed the table, roaring: "How bold… even if the Human Race in the Youming Prefecture is weak, I am still the ruler of the Human Race… He, he actually has the audacity to say such things, telling me to go see him personally, and he even wants to depose me from my throne!!"

"Exactly… Your Majesty, please send someone to capture him and bring him back; we cannot let this brat be so arrogant and rampant!" the envoy said hurriedly.

Kong Su's expression shifted, and he asked again: "What… is his strength like now?"

Xiao Fan had surpassed the Northwest City, suppressing the city guards with his presence without ever making a move. Outside the Zhao Family City, it was said that Xiao Fan had shaken the city with a single roar… but this was just a rumor, and he had not seen it with his own eyes.

Kong Su did not dare to be careless. The Human Race was now in a precarious position. Xiao Fan had shown himself to be such a Prodigy back then. He was afraid that if Xiao Fan really grew up, he wouldn't be able to contain him, and it would eventually cause a huge disaster.

"This… this is hard to say. Your subordinate cannot tell his Realm, but as for his strength… it should only be a little bit higher than mine." The envoy gestured with his hand, a distance of less than half an inch.

He knew very well that he was no match for Xiao Fan. Moreover, Xiao Fan's current strength was already unfathomable. But he couldn't tell the truth.

On one hand… if he said he was far inferior to Xiao Fan, wouldn't he lose face? On the other hand, if he described Xiao Fan as too terrifying, what if the ruler backed down?

His little scheme went unnoticed by Kong Su. Or rather, Kong Su did not believe that only a few years later, that youth who had just entered the Pi Hai Realm could be that strong!

In the Youming Prefecture, the only people who knew Xiao Fan's true Realm now were the Ancestor of the Zhao Family, the Head of the Zhao Family, and a group of Elders from the Zhao Family. No one else knew at all.

"Hmm… pass down the order: Xiao Fan has shown contempt for the Imperial family and acted recklessly; capture him and bring him to see me!!" Kong Su shouted.

"Yes!" The envoy was extremely excited. After receiving the order, he went down to arrange the manpower.

Now that the Imperial Ancestor was in seclusion, Kong Su was the true power-holder of the Human Race. He had a good impression of Xiao Fan before. But this brat was arrogant, despised the Imperial family, and even dared to look down on him… then he deserved to be punished!

Xiao Fan was in the Zhao Family courtyard, teaching Lier sword practice. Wei Zhongshan and a youth in green robes walked in from outside.

"Big Brother, look who's here!" Wei Zhongshan shouted. Xiao Fan was stunned and looked at this person.

"Big Brother Xiao!" As soon as this person saw Xiao Fan, he was extremely excited and ran over immediately.

"Zhao Tianyi, long time no see," Xiao Fan said with a smile.

Back then, Xiao Fan had saved three people: Zhao Yanfu, Zhao Tianyi, and Zhao Bin. Zhao Tianyi bowed: "Big Brother Xiao, I've lost count of how many years it's been since I last saw you… I just returned home and happened to run into Brother Wei at home… only then did I find out you were here!"

Zhao Tianyi was now also one of the pillars of the Zhao Family. Having just returned from an outside mission, he did not know the news of Xiao Fan's arrival. But as soon as he got home… he actually saw that Wei Zhongshan was there too! And he was being lovey-dovey with his sister! That was when he realized… that Xiao Fan had returned!

"Ahem… keep it low-key." Wei Zhongshan coughed dryly, his face looking very pale.
