Chapter 4791: Unable to Acknowledge

However, the scene that followed left everyone with their jaws dropped.

"Fine! I will forgive you this once, but don't let it happen again!" Xiao Li said in a deep voice.

As soon as these words were spoken, Dong Chengji, Tu Haohao, Lu Cheng, and Sha Mushi were all stunned, completely dumbfounded.

"Hahaha… Good, you truly are magnanimous!" Xiao Fan nodded with satisfaction.

"You… what did you just say?!" Tu Haohao picked at his ear, looking foolishly at Xiao Li.

"Xiao Li, you… are you saying that you… you forgave him?!"

"Did I hear that right?!"

"Xiao Li! You aren't joking, right?!"

"…"

Dong Chengji, Tu Haohao, and even Sha Mushi asked, dumbfounded.

They knew Xiao Li's personality well; he was not someone who would joke around, especially when someone insulted his family—that would definitely enrage him.

Yet Xiao Li had actually forgiven him; when did his temper get so good?!

"I… we have important matters to attend to right now, we cannot be impulsive." Xiao Li exhaled and looked at Tu Haohao, Dong Chengji, and the others.

Hearing this, Dong Chengji, Tu Haohao, and Lu Cheng exchanged glances and nodded.

It was indeed time to handle serious business.

But what about afterwards?!

Are we supposed to bring this dead weight along to handle serious business?!

"Xiao Li, since you won't kill him… then let us do it!" Dong Chengji hesitated for a moment before speaking in a deep voice.

"That's right, I'll kill him!"

"Xiao Li, you go and hold back Mushi!"

Lu Cheng and Tu Haohao also chimed in, both intending to kill Xiao Fan first.

They had come to the Divine Altar under the orders of the Ghost Lord, and the subsequent plan had to proceed smoothly…

"No!" Xiao Li shook his head. Since the other party might be his father, how could he let these people, like Dong Chengji, take action?!

"Why?!" Tu Haohao was confused. "He even insulted your father just now!"

"It's because…" Xiao Li looked at Sha Mushi and said calmly, "I want to help Mushi!"

Everyone: "…"

"Good! Xiao Li! I thank you!" Sha Mushi was overjoyed, not expecting Xiao Li to be so loyal.

Xiao Fan shook his head helplessly, guessing that with this, Dong Chengji and the others would likely let him go.

"You… Xiao Li! What if something goes wrong with the subsequent matters?! What should we do then?!" Tu Haohao gritted his teeth as he spoke.

"Heh… Something goes wrong? With me here! Nothing will go wrong!" Xiao Li sneered.

"Damn it! Do you think you're invincible?!" Tu Haohao was furious.

"Do you want to try? Come! Let's fight!" Xiao Li roared, erupting with immense blood qi.

Seeing this, Tu Haohao became enraged too, but he was held back by Dong Chengji.

"Time is tight…" Dong Chengji shook his head helplessly.

If it were only Xiao Li or Sha Mushi who wanted to protect Xiao Xuan, they would certainly be able to kill the other party.

But now, with Xiao Li and Sha Mushi joining forces, it would be too difficult for the three of them to kill Xiao Xuan… Infighting between them would only drag things out and hinder the subsequent plans of the Ghost Lord.

"This… fine then!" Tu Haohao hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth hard.

"Hehe… Many thanks." Xiao Fan walked to Xiao Li's side and grinned.

"You're welcome." Xiao Li nodded, very much wanting to confirm the other party's identity.

But given the current situation, it was impossible to acknowledge each other… If the other party really was his father, how did he end up in the Outer Realm?!

Furthermore, how did he end up at the Ancient Burial Holy Land?!

Dong Chengji glanced at Xiao Li, then looked at Sha Mushi, and said in a deep voice: "Mushi, the previous matter was a misunderstanding! Since you brought him here, then so be it; serious business is what matters now."

"Fine! Of course I know." Sha Mushi nodded.

"Alright, let's go, let's handle the serious business first…" Dong Chengji exhaled and led Sha Mushi, Tu Haohao, Xiao Li, and Lu Cheng into the altar inside the palace.

Xiao Fan followed behind Sha Mushi and Xiao Li, very curious about what would happen next…

"Take it out." Dong Chengji exhaled and took out his Token.

Lu Cheng, Tu Haohao, and Sha Mushi did the same, taking out their identity Tokens.
