Chapter 4977: Still Playing Dumb?

"Dad! Is what you said true?!"

"Exactly… what is actually going on? Dad!"

"…"

Everyone cast curious glances, but only Wang Teng showed a look of realization: "I get it now…"

Xiao Fan was taken aback and looked at Wang Teng: "What do you get? Tell us."

Xiao Fan wanted to hear Wang Teng's insight; he wanted to know if this useless son-in-law of his possessed any far-sighted vision.

Xiao Xuan, Xiao Qing, and Ye Miaoyin also looked at Wang Teng in unison, wanting to hear what he had to say.

"Hehe… that's simple." Wang Teng grinned: "It must be because my brother-in-law is good-looking! That's why he won't be in any danger! Right? Father-in-law!"

Xiao Fan: "…"

Everyone: "…"

"Wang Teng! Are you sure you're serious?!" Xiao Fan looked at Wang Teng with a dumbfounded expression.

"Really! Of course I'm serious!" Wang Teng nodded repeatedly.

"You… just shut up!" Xiao Qing was furious and gave Wang Teng a hard kick.

"Ouch, Qing'er, what are you doing…"

"Shut up! Stop embarrassing yourself!" Xiao Qing scolded angrily.

"Oh…"

Wang Teng obediently shut his mouth, and everyone was left speechless.

"Dad, what is the reason for it?" Xiao Qing asked curiously.

"Sigh… actually, it's nothing much. With the Ghost Lord's ability, the other party must know about the relationship between Xiao Li and me. The fact that they have been enduring it all this time must mean there is some hidden reason. Since they have endured for so long, would they care about this little while?" Xiao Fan smiled.

"Enduring? Then what for? Why keep enduring?!" Xiao Qing asked again.

"I don't know…" Xiao Fan shook his head.

Xiao Fan wasn't lying about this; he truly didn't know what the Ghost Lord was thinking…

"Xuan'er, what do you think?" Xiao Fan looked at Xiao Xuan.

"I don't know either…" Xiao Xuan shook his head: "But I feel that the Celestial Emperor must know something."

Previously, when Xiao Xuan was in the Heavenly Court, he had been doing quite well for himself. If one were to say the Celestial Emperor hadn't investigated Xiao Xuan's background, even Xiao Xuan himself wouldn't believe it…

Yet, the Celestial Emperor had never suspected Xiao Xuan's identity. This matter was very suspicious; there must be some hidden mystery.

"Dad, where are we going now?" Xiao Qing asked curiously.

"Hehe… let's go see Old Mi." Xiao Fan smiled.

Previously, because of Xiao Xuan, Mi Qingfeng had already fled from the Heavenly Court. Since Xiao Xuan hadn't returned, Mi Qingfeng's life probably wasn't easy, and he must have gone into hiding.

After arriving at a safe place outside the realm, Xiao Fan had Xiao Xuan contact Mi Qingfeng…

Soon, Mi Qingfeng replied with a message, his words filled with anger!!

After fuming for a while, Mi Qingfeng disclosed his location and told Xiao Fan and the others to come find him…

Xiao Fan and the others flew towards the location provided by Mi Qingfeng.

In less than half a day, they met Mi Qingfeng…

"Hahaha… Brother Mi, long time no see!" Xiao Fan laughed loudly.

"You, you, you… you are too deceitful!" Mi Qingfeng gritted his teeth, looking at Xiao Fan: "You let your youngest son set me up on purpose? Right? Huh!"

"No! Why would I let my youngest son set you up? What happened? Brother Mi?" Xiao Fan raised an eyebrow.

"Still playing dumb?!" Mi Qingfeng gritted his teeth and looked at Xiao Xuan: "Kid! You tell me! What did you do!"

"Ah? I didn't do anything." Xiao Xuan spread his hands: "I just… missed home, so I went back for a few days."

"You, you… you used me as a cover! And then you ran away! Do you know how miserably you set me up? Huh!" Mi Qingfeng was furious and kicked Xiao Xuan several times.

Xiao Xuan scratched his head awkwardly and didn't say a word…

Indeed.

In this matter, Xiao Xuan had truly set Mi Qingfeng up miserably.

Xiao Fan was curious and asked about what happened afterward.

Mi Qingfeng gritted his teeth and told Xiao Fan and the others that after Xiao Xuan ran away, the Heavenly Court went crazy.

They questioned Mi Qingfeng, asking where he had taken Xiao Xuan.

Mi Qingfeng said that he was going to take Xiao Xuan to Cultivate for a few days, and then he would return, telling the Heavenly Court not to worry.

It was fine for the first few days, but in the days that followed, the Heavenly Court kept urging Mi Qingfeng to bring Xiao Xuan back immediately.

However, Xiao Xuan was not by Mi Qingfeng's side at all, so who was he supposed to bring back?!

The Heavenly Court was furious and began sending people to find Mi Qingfeng…
