Chapter 229: Sun Mingqi Attacks

"Hmm? You're blaming me wrongly. Are you referring to calling me a Lecher?" Xiao Fan asked.

Nangong Lingxuan nodded and pursed her lips…

Xiao Fan was speechless: "…Then wouldn't it be better if you stopped calling me a Lecher from now on? By the way, what was your mother thinking when she told you that any man staring at you is a Lecher?"

Xiao Fan still remembered that when he asked her previously, Nangong Lingxuan said her mother had told her.

Back then, Xiao Fan had wondered, what was her mother thinking?

How could she teach her daughter such things?

Nangong Lingxuan cast a glance at Xiao Fan: "My mother said her mother told her."

Xiao Fan: "…"

So it was hereditary after all!

A waste of time asking!

Without realizing it, Xiao Fan and Nangong Lingxuan had been chatting for an hour.

The other women saw this and didn't make a sound, nor did they go over to disturb them.

Even Hu Rui and Qiao Rong were the same.

Hu Rui knew that Xiao Fan and Nangong Lingxuan were both Genius Disciples of this generation.

She heard that in the final battle back then, it was between Xiao Fan and Nangong Lingxuan to decide who was first.

So it wasn't strange.

Gradually, Nangong Lingxuan stopped speaking and sat quietly to one side.

Xiao Fan didn't speak either, just wore a faint smile on his face…

He suddenly realized he had changed; he was somewhat different from before.

The old him would never confide his troubles to others, especially things concerning his childhood in the Xiao Family and becoming a son-in-law.

Because in Xiao Fan's heart, these were his pain points, his weak spots.

But ever since defeating Xiao Tian, he found he could let go of these pain points in his heart.

It seemed he only regarded these as a chapter in his life story.

Actually, Xiao Fan didn't know that this was the sublimation that Kong Ping had mentioned back in Jingchuan City…

Letting go, concluding the past.

His state of mind would have a clear change.

At the very least, he wouldn't live as exhaustingly as before.

"It seems this feeling isn't bad…"

Xiao Fan smiled to himself, a very relaxed smile.

Nangong Lingxuan, who was to the side, was stunned: "What did you say?"

"Uh… nothing, nothing." Xiao Fan waved his hands quickly.

Nangong Lingxuan cast a glance at him and stood up to leave.

Xiao Fan was speechless; this woman's temper really wasn't great, even though she was so beautiful.

Xiao Fan lay back down, looking up at the full moon in the sky.

After a while, Qiao Rong also ran over.

"Senior Brother Xiao…"

Qiao Rong sat in the spot where Nangong Lingxuan had just been, her gaze fixed on Xiao Fan.

During their recent time together, she had been addressing him this way.

Xiao Fan didn't even turn his head, his gaze still fixed on the sky, and he said: "What's wrong?"

The two had been cooperating for several days, so their relationship was quite close, and they spoke without any barriers.

"What is your relationship with Nangong Lingxuan?"

"Why did you think to ask that?"

Xiao Fan was curious and sat up from the ground again.

"No, nothing, just asking." Qiao Rong shook her head quickly, though her face flushed a bit.

Xiao Fan looked Qiao Rong up and down with a puzzled gaze.

He felt this woman was becoming stranger and stranger; she clearly had a Dao Companion before.

Wasn't that Cui Lang one?

Back then, Cui Lang abandoned her and ran away, and Qiao Rong's expression was clearly very sad…

And then, after a short while, she said she wanted to go with him?

And then… how did it become like this now?

Xiao Fan felt a bit of a headache…

"She and I are friends, I suppose. She saved me." Xiao Fan answered simply.

Although Qiao Rong was a bit suspicious, Xiao Fan didn't think she would harm him.

"Saved you?" Qiao Rong was stunned for a moment; she had intended to open her mouth to ask other questions.

"Watch out!"

But at this moment, Xiao Fan let out a shout, threw himself onto Qiao Rong, held her tightly with one hand, and instantly flashed away from where they had just been.

"Boom rumble"…

Just moments after the two had left, the place where Xiao Fan and Qiao Rong had been was attacked by a terrifying fireball…

A giant crater appeared, and it was burning with raging flames…

The area within a dozen meters around the giant crater was also burning simultaneously…

"There's an enemy attack, watch out!" Hu Rui shouted.

The surrounding Disciples were all stunned upon hearing the loud noise, then they all simultaneously took out their respective Magical Artifacts and prepared for battle.

At this moment, Xiao Fan was still holding Qiao Rong with one hand as he flashed onto a tall tree thirty meters away.

His eyes were cold, and anger was burning within him…

That person just now was clearly targeting him, hiding in the dark all along, waiting for him to be distracted before suddenly launching an attack!

If he hadn't moved quickly to dodge that strike just now…

Even if it wouldn't have killed him, it would at least have caused serious injury.

Qiao Rong was still in Xiao Fan's arms at this moment.

Xiao Fan's right hand was wrapped around her waist, making her breathing quicken a bit…

Her face was flushed red, but one couldn't see any sign of being frightened…

Xiao Fan let go and glanced at Qiao Rong: "Are you alright?"

"N-no, I'm fine."

Qiao Rong shook her head quickly.

Xiao Fan didn't notice the change in her complexion; he had already furrowed his brows and turned around, a pitch-black longsword appearing in his hand.

"Come out. You ambush from the shadows, yet you don't even dare to show yourself?"

Hu Rui also cast her gaze in the direction Xiao Fan was looking, and the other women did the same.

Among them, Killing Intent appeared in Nangong Lingxuan's eyes!

"Hehe… I didn't expect you to dodge that. It seems you're not bad."

A figure flashed out, and not long after, more than twenty other figures appeared from behind this person.

"Sun Mingqi…"
