Chapter 5532: Setting Off

"We're family, it's a small matter." Xiao Fan patted Xiao Xuan's shoulder. "Xuan'er, you must Cultivate well from now on, understand? Your progress lately has been good, though. Polish your Foundation well before you Breakthrough to the next Realm."

"Yes! Father!" Xiao Xuan nodded heavily.

Seeing this, Xiao Qing was displeased. "Father, why didn't you help Wang Teng heal? You're being partial!"

"Partial? Me? What has that Wang Teng even done? He's so weak! He fools around every day! And he keeps shouting about having the Pose of a Great Emperor! Bah!" Xiao Fan said angrily.

"Father is right! What kind of character does Wang Teng have? 'Pose of a Great Emperor' every single day!" Xiao Xuan said flatly.

"Xiao Xuan! Are you itching for a beating?!"

"No! I'm just telling the truth!"

"…"

The group left and returned to Lingxiao Palace.

When Xiao Fan and the others returned, Wang Teng hadn't yet.

It couldn't be helped.

Wang Teng's speed was too slow; he certainly couldn't keep up with Xiao Fan.

Xiao Qing thought for a bit and decided to go meet Wang Teng, so she left.

Half a day later, Xiao Qing returned with Wang Teng.

Seeing Wang Teng covered in wounds and looking completely battered, Xiao Xuan couldn't stop laughing.

"Brother-in-law Wang Teng! Who beat you up?!" Xiao Xuan laughed.

"I… Sigh… brother-in-law! You don't understand! This is all my father-in-law's love!" Wang Teng forced a smile.

"Love? You're covered in injuries… how is that love?" Xiao Xuan was taken aback.

"To beat is to love, to scold is to care! Haven't you heard that saying?" Wang Teng raised an eyebrow.

Xiao Xuan: "…"

"Wang Teng! I have no love for you!" At that moment, Xiao Fan suddenly appeared behind Wang Teng and gave him a hard kick in the rear.

"Ouch~~ Father-in-law! Why do you keep appearing and disappearing like a ghost?" Wang Teng clutched his butt and spoke weakly.

"Hehehe… It's because you're too weak!" Xiao Fan glanced at Xiao Xuan and said indifferently, "Xuan'er, when you're free, spar with your brother-in-law more to hone his strength. Did you hear me?"

"Yes! Father!" Xiao Xuan nodded heavily, casting a malicious look at Wang Teng.

Wang Teng was startled and said hurriedly, "Father-in-law! No need to trouble my brother-in-law! I can Cultivate on my own."

"Hehehe… No, if you Cultivate alone, I'm afraid you'll lack motivation." Xiao Fan shook his head.

"Ah, this…" Wang Teng panicked, looking around pitifully.

Unfortunately, even Xiao Qing ignored him.

In Xiao Qing's view, Wang Teng's strength was indeed too weak.

Fortunately, Ye Miaoyin stepped in to mediate, saving Wang Teng's life.

"Xuan'er needs to Cultivate himself. Let's leave the task of honing Wang Teng to Xiao Qing instead," Ye Miaoyin said slowly.

"Eldest Aunt! You're such a good person! I love you!" Wang Teng looked at Ye Miaoyin tearfully, his gaze… tsk tsk, like he was looking at his dream girl.

Xiao Fan: "…"

Ye Miaoyin: "…"

Everyone: "…"

As soon as he said it, Wang Teng realized something was wrong.

"I… I was wrong, wrong… A slip of the tongue! It was a slip of the tongue! Truly! Ahhhh~!"

*Thud* *Thud* *Slap*…

Without another word, everyone swarmed Wang Teng, beating him until he was covered in bruises and his skin was raw.

This time, Wang Teng really only had half a life left.

He was beaten so miserably it was hard to look at.

Seeing this, Xie Lingqing felt lucky, feeling that Xiao Qing had truly gone easy on him.

Except for Xiao Li, who remained at Shengtian Mansion, the whole family was present and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner.

During the meal, Xiao Fan took out many treasures he had acquired and let everyone choose freely.

These treasures were rare even in other Great Holy Lands, let alone the Tianming Holy Land.

Furthermore, Xiao Fan announced that the whole family would be leaving soon.

The Tianming Holy Land was too small; since he had already defeated Saint Evil Venerable, he would restore the Ancient Burial Holy Land, and everyone would move there.

The Ancient Burial Holy Land was the center of all Holy Lands, and the spiritual energy there was the densest.

No one had any objections to Xiao Fan's arrangements.

The most hardworking ones, of course, would be Zhao Wuji and Ye Cang, as they would need to handle the affairs of the Tianming Holy Land.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed…

These past three months had been the most leisurely time Xiao Fan had experienced in years.

Three months later, the group set off and left the Tianming Holy Land.

They arrived at the Ancient Burial Holy Land, and the Blood Crystal Entity and the Devouring Giant Beast immediately appeared to welcome them.

"The First Protector greets Your Majesty!"

"The Second Protector greets Your Majesty!"

The Devouring Giant Beast and the Blood Crystal Entity spoke seriously, kneeling on one knee before Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan: "…"

"Tun Tun! How did you two become Protectors?" Xiao Qing asked curiously.
