Chapter 5958: One of Our Own

In a flash, half a year passed…

Xiao Fan, Leng Qingfeng, and Qin Zhandao departed, heading for the Guard Camp.

Selecting a Guard Team Captain was different from selecting Guard Team members; it required a rigorous review process.

This review was overseen by Wu Tongtian, a trusted subordinate under Immortal King Ting Yue.

This person was a powerhouse at the Peak of the Eighth Stage of the Yin-Yang Immortal Realm.

Hearing this, Xiao Fan couldn't help but be startled.

"Eighth Stage of the Yin-Yang Immortal Realm?!"

"Indeed. Even looking across the entire Wuliang Immortal Realm, Wu Tongtian is among the best," Qin Zhandao nodded.

"That… what Realm is the Leng Family Ancestor at?" Xiao Fan looked toward Leng Qingfeng.

"About the same, I suppose. The Old Ancestor stays in seclusion year-round, so I'm not sure what his current Realm is anymore," Leng Qingfeng smiled.

"Oh," Xiao Fan nodded.

Qin Zhandao was slightly surprised, glancing at Leng Qingfeng and then at Xiao Fan.

For Xiao Fan to ask about the Leng Family Ancestor's Realm was a taboo for a direct descendant of the Family.

Normally, Leng Qingfeng should have taken offense.

Even if Xiao Fan had joined the Leng Family, Leng Qingfeng should have made his stance clear.

But Leng Qingfeng didn't; instead, he even offered a polite explanation.

Something was wrong.

There was something fishy going on between the two of them.

Qin Zhandao seemed to realize something, but he didn't say much.

Soon, the group arrived at the Guard Camp.

Here, even Qin Zhandao was courteous and respectful.

"Xiao Fan, Leng Qingfeng, I have to participate in the assessments later as well, so I won't be able to look after you," Qin Zhandao smiled.

Xiao Fan and Leng Qingfeng nodded.

They were aware of this.

Normally, there would still be some time before the Personal Guard Selection, but it had recently been moved forward.

They didn't know the specific reason for this.

At that moment, Xiao Fan sensed a familiar aura and turned to look.

Xing Wujiang walked over expressionlessly, his gaze toward Xiao Fan being very unfriendly.

"Hehehe… Qin Zhandao, you're late."

"Not too bad, not too late," Qin Zhandao smiled.

"Greetings, Senior Xing," Xiao Fan cupped his fists in salute toward Xing Wujiang.

Xing Wujiang didn't even spare Xiao Fan a glance.

Clearly,

he still harbored dissatisfaction regarding Xiao Fan joining the Leng Family.

Xiao Fan wasn't angry; in Xing Wujiang's eyes, he was the one in the wrong to begin with.

Of course,

once Xing Wujiang learned the truth later, he would probably be unable to stop himself from laughing.

"Qin Zhandao, let's go."

"Alright."

Qin Zhandao nodded, gave Xiao Fan and Leng Qingfeng a few more instructions, and then left with Xing Wujiang.

"Brother Xiao, let's go," Leng Qingfeng smiled.

"Where to?"

"Hehehe… there are quite a few of us from the Leng Family here."

Xiao Fan nodded and followed Leng Qingfeng away.

Even within the Guard Camp, the Leng Family had its own influence.

An ancient castle belonging to the Leng Family exuded an aura of magnificence.

Xiao Fan followed Leng Qingfeng inside, where many members of the Leng Family were present; Leng Zhanfeng was among them as well.

"Hehehe… Xiao Fan, how have you been lately?" Leng Zhanfeng smiled as he walked up to Xiao Fan.

"Quite well," Xiao Fan nodded.

Leng Zhanfeng was slightly surprised and sized Xiao Fan up.

"Third Stage of the Illusion Immortal Realm?"

"Yes," Xiao Fan nodded.

"Not bad, not bad! Impressive!" Leng Zhanfeng gave a thumbs up.

While he was exaggerated on the surface, he was full of internal criticism.

It was no secret that Leng Qingfeng had been gathering resources for Xiao Fan; everyone knew about it.

They had originally thought that with so many resources gathered, Xiao Fan would achieve a Breakthrough across multiple Realms in succession.

But the result was only an increase of one minor Realm.

Of course,

no one would say such things to his face.

Xiao Fan was well aware of what Leng Zhanfeng was thinking.

But it didn't matter; Xiao Fan himself knew best how strong his current power was.

As it stood, in a one-on-one fight against Leng Zhanfeng, Xiao Fan could easily defeat him without breaking a sweat.

Other experts from the Leng Family one after another tried to befriend Xiao Fan.

They had all heard of Xiao Fan's deeds.

At the Early Stage of the Illusion Immortal Realm, he could already hold his own against Leng Zhanfeng and the others; his future prospects were surely boundless.

Establishing a good relationship with Xiao Fan now would definitely be of great use in the future.

The Leng Family took full charge of the tedious matters that followed.

Leng Qingfeng told Xiao Fan to just wait for the assessment to begin with peace of mind.

Xiao Fan smiled and thanked him.

"Hahaha… you're too polite, Brother Xiao. You're one of our own," Leng Qingfeng laughed, patting Xiao Fan on the shoulder.

In Leng Qingfeng's eyes, Xiao Fan was here to help him.

So Xiao Fan's business was his business.

If Leng Qingfeng knew the truth, his expression would surely be magnificent.

He would probably be unable to resist shouting curses.
