Chapter 3925: Brother-in-Law

"Hehehe… What do I want to do? Rest assured, no matter what I do, I have no ill intent toward you. Otherwise, you would have been dead long ago," Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan said indifferently.

This was no lie. Xiao Fan was well aware that with his current strength, he was simply no match for Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan.

"You… what exactly is your relationship with my elder sister?!"

Xiao Fan hesitated for a moment before speaking in a low voice.

In truth, there were many things Xiao Fan wanted to know at this moment, but he didn't have the slightest clue.

From Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan, Xiao Fan could gather some clues that would help him sort through many things.

"Who am I? I'll tell you then. I am… Xiahou Yan's Dao Companion." Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan hesitated for a moment before giving a bitter smile.

Hearing this, Xiao Fan wasn't surprised at all; a look of realization dawned on him.

However, Xiao Fan had an even bigger question in his heart.

"You… you are my sister's Dao Companion? Then she… why did she end up like this?!"

Xiao Fan spoke in a heavy voice. One had to know that Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan was a Pseudo-Emperor. With his strength, who in the entire God Realm could oppose him besides the God Emperor?

Moreover, judging by the relationship between Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan and the God Emperor, it was even less likely that the God Emperor would kill the beloved of Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan.

This was also the biggest question in Xiao Fan's heart.

"That was due to an accident. And at that time… I wasn't a Pseudo-Emperor yet."

Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan's expression instantly darkened. After a moment of silence, he shook his head helplessly.

Xiao Fan wanted to press further, but Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan spoke first. "Don't ask anymore. There are many things… you're not yet qualified to know. If you force yourself to find out, it won't do you any good. Do you understand?"

Hearing this, Xiao Fan was silent for a moment and then nodded.

Xiao Fan could naturally understand Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan's words.

However, Xiao Fan didn't dare to reveal his true identity either.

Furthermore, if he continued to press, Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan might start to suspect his identity. Therefore, staying quiet was the best course of action.

"Hehehe… Kid, you're quite sensible," Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan chuckled.

Originally, Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan thought that even after he refused the boy, the boy would still keep asking, but he didn't.

Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan naturally liked people who were sensible.

"Since you are my sister's Dao Companion, then you are my… brother-in-law. I'm your brother-in-law. As a brother-in-law, how could you possibly harm your own brother-in-law?" Xiao Fan grinned.

Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan: "…"

Zhuge Wen: "…"

Hearing this, Zhuge Wen's face, not far away, twitched violently.

Good heavens.

This guy is already calling him brother-in-law!

My life is in danger…

At this moment, Zhuge Wen felt like dying, yet there was nothing he could do.

Zhuge Wen's mind raced as he thought of a way to save his life.

"Hehehe… Kid, you're very clever."

Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan was stunned for a moment, then gave a bitter smile.

He never expected that the other party would actually call him brother-in-law.

And judging from the other party's relationship with Xiahou Yan, there was no ambiguity between them.

Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan knew Xiahou Yan's background best, so he naturally understood why Xiahou Yan would treat the other party as her brother.

Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking, "From now on, Yaner… will still need you to take good care of her."

Having said that, Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan took out a communication jade slip and handed it to Xiao Fan.

"If you run into trouble later, you can contact me at any time."

"This… alright."

Xiao Fan was taken aback. He hadn't expected the other party to still let Xiahou Yan stay by his side.

Why would he do this?!

One had to know that the other party was an expert of the Pseudo-Emperor Realm, one of the Peak powerhouses in the entire God Realm, an invincible existence second only to the God Emperor of the God Realm.

Yet, he was actually letting his Dao Companion stay by his side.

If it was because Xiahou Yan considered him her brother…

…and he felt that Xiahou Yan's contact with him was beneficial for her, the other party clearly should have had other, better ways.
