Chapter 3926: One Family Now

At the very least, Xiao Fan could easily think of many better ways.

For example, taking both himself and Xiahou Yan away.

That way, many troubles could be resolved, and… Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan could properly protect Xiahou Yan afterward.

But now, he was actually letting Xiahou Yan stay with him.

What exactly was he trying to do?!

Was it because he didn't care about Xiahou Yan?

Impossible!

If he didn't care, why would he look after the Xiahou Family? Why would he protect Xiahou Yan's body? Why would he go through such immense effort to find her?!

Moreover, Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan hadn't searched for her with great fanfare before.

There might be some hidden reason behind this…

Could it be that he had a secret he couldn't let the God Emperor know, so it wasn't convenient to keep Xiahou Yan by his side… Xiao Fan hesitated, looking at Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan in disbelief.

He was a Pseudo-Emperor Realm expert of the God Emperor Palace; what secret could he possibly have that he couldn't let the God Emperor know?!

"Hehehe… Kid, stop guessing. If I could tell you, I naturally would. If I don't, you won't find out anyway," Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan said with a smile.

"Fine," Xiao Fan nodded. "I was just a bit curious, I hope you understand."

"Hehehe… Naturally, I can understand," Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan replied with a smile.

Xiao Fan put away the Jade Slip. Since Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan had this attitude toward him, he was safe for the time being.

Furthermore, if possible, Xiao Fan could even try to see if Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan would shield him, allowing him to smoothly sneak into the God War without being discovered…

"Um… Brother-in-law," Xiao Fan said, rubbing his hands together and looking at Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan with a shifty gaze.

"Hmm? Is there something else?!"

Seeing this, Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan was taken aback, feeling that the other's gaze was ill-intentioned.

"Hehehe… It's just that I'm quite poor, you understand? The hardships of a minor Cultivator like me, sigh…" Xiao Fan chuckled mischievously and shook his head helplessly.

Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan: "…"

Zhuge Wen: "…"

Hearing this, Zhuge Wen really wanted to curse. He was poor?!

What a joke. Zhuge Wen's judgment of people was most accurate; the guy definitely wasn't poor. He had a very substantial fortune.

After all, could someone who could secretly follow him and sneak into the Xiahou Family's ancestral tomb be weak?!

Suddenly, another suspicion arose in Zhuge Wen's mind: "Could he be…"

At this moment, Zhuge Wen thought of the person who had framed him.

Could it be this guy?!

He had the strength, the methods, the guts—he had everything…

It was just that Zhuge Wen couldn't confirm it yet, and he didn't understand why the other would frame him.

What benefit would framing him bring the guy?!

"You… fine, it was my oversight." Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan gave a bitter smile. He wasn't stingy either, immediately taking out several storage rings and tossing them to Xiao Fan.

Inside were numerous Heaven And Earth Treasures, with even more of those that nourished the Divine Soul…

Xiahou Yan's condition had improved recently; it must be related to him.

In that case, giving him some rewards was only right, especially since he had already called him brother-in-law.

"Hahaha… Thank you, brother-in-law! Thank you so much!" Xiao Fan said with a grin.

Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan nodded with satisfaction. "Don't mention it. We're family."

Hearing this didn't bother Xiao Fan much.

But Zhuge Wen felt as if a knife were twisting in his heart…

Good grief.

Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan had personally admitted they were family!

Wasn't everything ruined now?!

Everything was ruined!

"Right, right, right… We're family. My things are my brother-in-law's, and my brother-in-law's things are mine." Xiao Fan nodded repeatedly, his shifty eyes darting toward the storage rings in Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan's hands.

Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan: "…"

"Um, you… you should still mind your manners a bit."

Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan shook his head helplessly, feeling that the kid before him was quite greedy.

It was the first time Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan had encountered such a greedy brat.

"Hehehe… Why be so polite, brother-in-law?" Xiao Fan said with a laugh.

Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan shook his head helplessly. His figure vanished and reappeared directly in front of Xiahou Yan, gently stroking her cheek.

"Yaner."

In the next moment, Xiahou Yan regained consciousness. She looked at Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan with a wary expression, and seeing him touching her face, she immediately struck out, slapping his hand away.

"You, you, you… what did you do to me?!"

"I…"

Seeing this, Xiao Fan hurriedly flew over.

"Sister, don't hurt my brother-in-law!"

Xiahou Yan: "…"

Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan: "…"

"Brother, what… what nonsense are you shouting?" Xiahou Yan looked at Xiao Fan in disbelief.

"Sister, I'm not talking nonsense. I just confirmed the relationship between him and you…"
