Chapter 2721: Hou Yangbiao is Promoted

"Hahaha… Good, good, good! How refreshing!" Commander Gong Xiao was overjoyed at the words.

Agreeing to help take care of Hou Yangbiao was a minor matter.

But Xiao Fan promising him not to reveal what he had done at Fortress 73 was a major matter.

To Xiao Fan, this was an event that could bring him great fame, yet he easily agreed to keep it a secret!

In truth, Commander Gong Xiao didn't know that Xiao Fan couldn't wait to keep it a secret!

It was best if this matter didn't leak out; otherwise, Xiao Fan would become a target for everyone, and Immortal Lord Wen Zhen would be even more anxious to kill him!

Wouldn't that be a lot of trouble?

Furthermore, the more famous he became, the more difficult it would be if he wanted to escape the Heavens Battlefield later.

Therefore, keeping a low profile was perfect!

"You're too kind, it's only right," Xiao Fan nodded with a smile, feeling that Commander Gong Xiao was a decent person who was very considerate of others.

"Hahaha… This is my communication jade slip. Contact me if you need anything." Commander Gong Xiao was very straightforward as he tossed one of his communication jade slips to Xiao Fan.

"Alright, farewell!" Xiao Fan cupped his fists.

"Alright, farewell," Commander Gong Xiao nodded.

Xiao Fan glanced at Hou Yangbiao hiding in the corner, gave a bitter smile, and soared into the air to depart…

He had to go back; he had been away for quite a while since just arriving at the Heavens Battlefield.

If Commander Jia You found out, he probably wouldn't be very happy…

After Xiao Fan left, Commander Gong Xiao let out a breath, feeling that Xiao Fan was also a good person and quite easy to get along with.

A group of Nirvana Realm experts from Fortress 73 flew to Commander Gong Xiao's side.

"Commander, why didn't you just suppress him?" one of them asked, puzzled.

"Nonsense, could a kid with his background be ordinary? Use your damn brain!" Commander Gong Xiao snapped irritably.

"True…" The person nodded with a grin, not getting angry at being scolded by Commander Gong Xiao.

"But he really is strong… and he's only in the Wanwu Realm. If his Realm were higher in the future, wouldn't he be even more powerful?"

"Yeah, it's truly the first time I've seen someone in the Wanwu Realm so strong…"

"He promised to keep it a secret, so none of our own people should leak this matter either. You all know the limits," Commander Gong Xiao looked at everyone and spoke in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"…"

They naturally knew the stakes; if this matter were leaked, it would bring them no benefit whatsoever.

If the treatment of Fortress 73 were reduced later, all of them would be affected.

"Mhm… Where is Hou Yangbiao?" Commander Gong Xiao nodded in satisfaction. Since Xiao Fan said to take good care of him, then he would do just that.

Commander Gong Xiao felt it was very necessary to curry favor with a Prodigy like Xiao Fan.

"Lord, I'm here…" Hou Yangbiao hurriedly flew over when he heard Commander Gong Xiao calling him.

Commander Gong Xiao had seen Hou Yangbiao once before and thought he was dead… but he was still alive.

White-armored Sinners were the lowest existence in the Heavens Battlefield, worse than cannon fodder; even if they were killed by their own companions, their deaths would mean nothing.

Hou Yangbiao flew before Commander Gong Xiao, feeling extremely nervous; this was a powerhouse at the Nirvana Realm Level 9 Peak.

"Mhm, not bad… You'll be Gray-armored from now on." Commander Gong Xiao nodded, stripping Hou Yangbiao of his White-armored Sinner status with a single sentence and making him Gray-armored.

"This… Thank you, thank you, Lord!" Hou Yangbiao was incredibly excited upon hearing this and hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

"Don't thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank Xiao Fan…" Commander Gong Xiao waved his hand.

"I still must thank you, Lord! Thank you, Lord!" Hou Yangbiao was beyond excited. He never dreamed that because Xiao Fan caused such a scene, he would actually be promoted!

"Mhm… Hou Yangbiao, what was your relationship with that Xiao Fan before? Why did he look out for you like this?" Commander Gong Xiao asked, voicing the suspicion in his heart.

"This…" Hou Yangbiao nodded and explained his relationship with Xiao Fan.

"So that's how it is…" Commander Gong Xiao nodded. After hearing Hou Yangbiao's words, his evaluation of Xiao Fan rose even higher.

This young man was loyal and valued friendship; even knowing Hou Yangbiao's status as a White-armored Sinner, he still cared about someone from the same Realm. Not bad.

"Very well, you may leave… Go and collect a set of Gray-armored gear later," Commander Gong Xiao nodded.

"Yes!" Hou Yangbiao was ecstatic.

Hou Yangbiao had truly turned his life around, and no one in Fortress 73 was dissatisfied, given that he knew a terror like Xiao Fan.

Moreover, Xiao Fan was quite decent; after all, he had promised to help them keep the secret and wouldn't leak the fact that he had caused a scene at Fortress 73.
