Chapter 3928: Not a Waste to Acknowledge Him

Zhuge Wen was no fool; Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan's killing intent was drawing closer and closer…

If no one spoke up to plead for him, his life would be over.

Seeing Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan's palm about to fall.

Zhuge Wen spoke urgently: "Ancestor, have you forgotten? You learned our Zhuge Family's Secret Technique. You… you are half a member of our Zhuge Family! You can't just stand by and watch me die!"

Xiao Fan: "…"

To be honest, the Secret Technique stolen from the Zhuge Family was indeed very useful to Xiao Fan.

Especially for what was to come.

Once Xiao Fan fully mastered it, he would be able to comprehend the Forbidden Power.

After a moment's hesitation, Xiao Fan looked at Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan. "Brother-in-law, don't kill him yet. This person… is useful to me."

Hearing this, Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan hesitated before stopping his hand. "I'll give my brother-in-law some Face."

"Thank you, brother-in-law…"

"…"

Truth be told, Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan still wanted to kill Zhuge Wen.

However, since Xiao Fan had already spoken, if he insisted on killing Zhuge Wen, wouldn't that damage the relationship between the two of them?

Furthermore, Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan knew his brother-in-law very well; the guy was incredibly cunning… If he acted recklessly and Xiao Fan said something bad to Xiahou Yan later, he would be the one suffering.

Killing Zhuge Wen would only serve to vent his anger; it wouldn't really affect anything else.

Thus, Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan decided to grant Xiao Fan this favor and spared Zhuge Wen's life.

Hearing this, Zhuge Wen kowtowed repeatedly.

"Thank you, thank you, Ancestor… Thank you, Heavenly Venerable, for sparing my life. Thank you, Ancestor Great-Aunt…"

"…"

Zhuge Wen was very clever; he kowtowed to each of them, making sure not to miss anyone.

"Zhuge Wen, you must stay by my brother-in-law's side and obey his orders. Do you hear me? If you dare to have second thoughts, hmph… you should know the consequences," Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan said coldly.

"Yes, yes, yes… Zhuge Wen understands." Zhuge Wen nodded repeatedly with a sycophantic smile.

Zhuge Wen never expected he would end up in such a situation.

Now he had lost his freedom and had to take orders from a young lad…

However, at this point, Zhuge Wen had no other choice but to obey.

"Mm." Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan nodded in satisfaction. "Alright, it's time for me to leave."

"Wait… Brother-in-law!"

"Is there something else?!"

Hearing this, Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan was taken aback.

"Hehehe… Actually, there is one more thing." Xiao Fan chuckled and scratched his head.

"If there's something, just say it," Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan said plainly.

"It's about that God War… well, will the God Emperor be attending?" Xiao Fan asked with a smile.

"The God Emperor? Why are you asking about that?!"

Hearing this, Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan was stunned and looked at Xiao Fan with a strange expression.

Why would he suddenly ask about the God Emperor out of the blue?!

"Well… hehehe… if the God Emperor isn't there, I plan to participate. But I'm afraid—what if I run into danger? I'm not afraid of danger myself, but my… my sister is afraid of danger. If something happens to her, what then? Right?" Xiao Fan said with a grin. "If the God Emperor isn't there and only you are, brother-in-law, couldn't you let me in through the back door? Right!"

Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan: "…"

Xiahou Yan: "…"

Zhuge Wen: "…"

"Acknowledge you as a brother-in-law… was certainly not for nothing!" Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan gritted his teeth and shook his head helplessly.

To be honest, Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan really didn't want to help with this.

But… he noticed Xiahou Yan staring at him coldly from the side.

"Sigh… The God Emperor won't be there, but his Dao Companion will. I… can help you as I see fit." Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan shook his head helplessly.

"The God Emperor isn't going? Really?!" Xiao Fan was shocked.

"Really, why would I lie to you? The God Emperor hasn't left for many years; it's always been his Clone outside…"
