Chapter 46: The Aggressive Immortal Palace Disciple

The aggressive attitude of the Immortal Palace Disciple left Long Anhai livid. As the head of the largest Family in Jingchuan City, being berated by a mere youth—how could he maintain his standing if this got out?

"Xiao Fan is a member of my Long Family; it is not your place to come to my Long Mansion and demand that we hand him over," Long Anhai said coldly.

"Long Anhai, are you tired of living? How dare you obstruct someone sent by the Immortal Palace?" Xiao Yuan mocked. "Long Anhai, do you want your Long Family to be wiped out?"

Wei Xia sneered, "Is that 'trash' son of mine really worth you treasures protecting him so much? What's the matter, now that we've come to take him away, you're reluctant to let him go?"

The Second Elder behind Long Anhai stepped forward and berated, "Since when does our Long Family have to hand over people just because you ask? Xiao Fan is already a live-in son-in-law of our Long Family, which means he is a member of our Long Family. Your Xiao Family's demands hold no weight here!"

"Old geezer, when is it your turn to speak here?" Xiao Yuan cursed. This turned the Second Elder's face bright red with anger, and he was just about to retort.

The Outer Sect Disciple of the Piaomiao Immortal Palace waved his hand, interrupting everyone, and said in a deep voice, "I have come to take Xiao Fan away under the orders of Senior Brother Xiao Tian. If you dare to obstruct me, it means you are being disrespectful to Senior Brother Xiao Tian!"

The members of the Long Family looked grim, but to let them take Xiao Fan away?

If this had happened before, the Long Family members wouldn't have had any reaction; they might even have thought it was a good thing and just handed him over.

But now, Xiao Fan was their Long Family hero, having risked his life to secure the Spirit Stone mine for them.

How could their Long Family be so heartless?

Long Anhai's expression was extremely grim. After a moment, he replied in a deep voice, "Xiao Fan is the live-in son-in-law of our Long Mansion; this has nothing to do with the Xiao Family… Besides, even if you are from the Piaomiao Immortal Palace, what right do you have to make our Long Family hand someone over to you!"

Long Anhai's words were very firm; he did not choose to back down even when facing such a massive power as the Piaomiao Immortal Palace.

"Fine, fine, fine. I will enter your Long Family right now to take him. I will personally break Xiao Fan's limbs and take him away. Let's see who dares to stop me. If your Long Family dares to make a move, I will report back to the Immortal Palace, and your Long Family will be finished!"

The Piaomiao Immortal Palace Disciple sneered. No sooner had he finished speaking than he intended to force his way into the Long Family. His cultivation was at the sixth level of the Huaqi Realm.

Long Anhai's strength was at the Great Perfection of the Huaqi Realm, and the elders behind him also had strength at the sixth or seventh level of the Huaqi Realm. However, facing the advancing Immortal Palace Disciple, they did not dare to make a move.

An Immortal Palace Disciple, even if only an Outer Sect Disciple, represented the Immortal Palace when traveling outside.

Seeing that the Long Family members dared not stop him, the steward was the first to step forward and say, "Lord Dai, allow me to lead the way."

The Outer Sect Disciple of the Immortal Palace nodded and followed the fawning steward into the Long Mansion. Xiao Yuan and Wei Xia glanced at Long Anhai, snorted coldly, and then swaggered into the Long Mansion!

Long Anhai clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead, his body trembling with rage. The elders behind him were not much better off.

The Second Elder asked anxiously, "Are we really going to just ignore Xiao Fan?"

Long Anhai's expression was grim. After pondering for a while, he said, "Second Elder, you go to the Treasure Pavilion and find Elder Qiao. He has a close relationship with Xiao Fan; tell him about the situation here."

"Third Elder, you go to the City Lord's Mansion and bring the City Lord here."

Upon hearing this, the two elders nodded. Without wasting time, they headed to those two places as fast as they could to seek reinforcements.

Long Anhai took a deep breath and said, "Let's go. No matter what, we must hold them off before Elder Qiao and the City Lord arrive."

…

At this moment, Xiao Fan was in the living room of his separate courtyard, with Long Miaoyin and Long Caiwei sitting opposite him. Recently, this girl had been coming to the courtyard every day to find Xiao Fan.

"Brother-in-law… is that girl named Hang Zixuan pretty? Who is prettier, her or me?"

Long Caiwei always had one question after another, giving Xiao Fan a headache…

Just as Xiao Fan was clutching his head, he heard a servant rushing in from outside to report.

"Third Master, it's bad, someone from the Immortal Palace has arrived…"

Xiao Fan frowned, and Long Miaoyin and Long Caiwei beside him also knew that something bad was about to happen.

However, before the servant could even enter, Xiao Fan heard a familiar voice from outside.

"Little beast, your father is here, why don't you get out here to welcome me!"

Hearing this voice, the veins on Xiao Fan's face instantly bulged.

"Xiao Yuan!"

A moment later, led by the fawning steward, the Piaomiao Immortal Palace Disciple, Xiao Yuan, Wei Xia, and a group of Xiao Family members arrived at the living room.

Xiao Fan looked at Xiao Yuan, Wei Xia, the steward, as well as his Xiao Family cousins and the Xiao Mansion servants in front of him; his expression was extremely grim.

"Little beast, now that you see your mother has arrived, why don't you come over and pay your respects?"

Seeing Xiao Fan standing there, Wei Xia began cursing directly. Although she had given birth to two children, she was well-maintained and still had a charming, mature air, but at this moment, she looked exactly like a shrew.

"Who are you, you old hag? What right do you have to scold my brother-in-law!"

At this moment, Long Caiwei, who was behind Xiao Fan, stood up and pointed at Wei Xia's nose, scolding her.

"You little girl, I'm scolding my son, what business is it of yours? You actually dare to scold me? See if I don't tear your mouth apart." Wei Xia was furious at being insulted by a little girl and wanted to strike, but she was held back by Xiao Yuan at her side.

"Those are all trivial matters; taking Xiao Fan away is what matters."

Xiao Yuan's words calmed Wei Xia down. For the sake of her son, Xiao Tian, she would endure it for now.

The Piaomiao Immortal Palace Disciple did not speak, but instead sized up Xiao Fan with his eyes… This was the older brother of the Genius Xiao Tian, the 'trash' the other party had spoken of.

Xiao Yuan stepped forward and spoke to Xiao Fan in a commanding tone, "Xiao Fan, go with this Immortal Palace Disciple; your younger brother wants to see you."

Before Xiao Fan could speak, Long Caiwei, who was on the side, said indignantly, "Why should he go with you?" Then she was pulled aside by Long Miaoyin.

Although Long Miaoyin was worried, she knew that the other party was Xiao Fan's parents, and it was inappropriate for Long Caiwei to speak in her position.

Xiao Fan did not rush to speak. Opposite him, Xiao Yuan raised an eyebrow and continued, "Xiao Fan, you had better honestly leave with us; don't force us to take action."

"Are you talking to me?"

Xiao Fan looked at Xiao Yuan with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot.

He couldn't figure out what the other party was thinking—coming here and saying one sentence, expecting him to just leave with them?

The Piaomiao Immortal Palace Disciple on the side spoke up, "My name is Dai Hanfei, and I have been ordered by Senior Brother Xiao Tian to bring you back. If you don't listen… Senior Brother Xiao Tian has given orders that we can break your legs and then take you back."

"Exactly. The people of the Long Family have already tacitly agreed to let us take you away. 'Trash', you'd better obediently leave with us, and you might suffer less," Wei Xia said coldly.

Xiao Fan frowned, but before he could speak, he heard heavy footsteps coming from outside.

"Xiao Fan is a member of my Long Family; you are not qualified to take him away."
