Chapter 596: Secret Guest in the Immortal Cave

If City Lord Ming Long really had a problem, they would deal with it when the time came!

He was not familiar with City Lord Ming Long; they had only met a few times and hadn't even exchanged many words. If he had to kill him, he wouldn't feel it was a big deal!

After all, Xiao Fan and Zhangsun Ning were both outsiders, and they were unsure of the Yihuang Dynasty's stance, so they had to be careful.

Moreover, the behavior of City Lord Ming Long, City Lord Du Ling, and the others just now was very suspicious!

City Lord Ming Long, with a dark face, led Xiao Fan into the inn. There was not a single person inside the inn… They went straight to his Immortal Cave.

After he used his identity Jade Slip to open the gate of the Immortal Cave, Xiao Fan and Zhangsun Ning exchanged glances, finally believing what the other party had said earlier.

"What I said is all true!" City Lord Ming Long let out a breath, his expression ugly.

"Alright, you've proven your innocence." Xiao Fan said, "I believe you!"

"I!" City Lord Ming Long was infuriated. He had explained for so long, and yet Xiao Fan stubbornly refused to believe him. Now that he had brought him here, he finally believed!

"Sigh…" City Lord Ming Long didn't know what else to say; he could only sigh, looking helpless.

"Alright, we'll be leaving now too." Xiao Fan nodded, and he and Zhangsun Ning turned and left.

He hadn't expected that the other party actually lived here too.

After City Lord Ming Long and City Lord Du Ling watched the two leave, they returned to their respective Immortal Caves with awkward expressions.

No one had expected that they had been living in the same place all along!

The people sent by the royal family had been looking for Xiao Fan for several days, but they hadn't found a single shred of information!

City Lord Ming Long estimated that if Liu Tianyun found out about this, the people within the royal family responsible for the investigation would definitely be in big trouble!

…

Xiao Fan didn't return to his own Immortal Cave first; instead, he went into Zhangsun Ning's Immortal Cave.

"Do you think they have any problems?" Xiao Fan asked.

"There shouldn't be any problems." Zhangsun Ning said, "This is the Imperial City. If they really wanted to take action, the royal family could have done so long ago; there was no need to wait until now!"

Xiao Fan nodded; he felt that what she said made a lot of sense.

Xiao Fan chatted with Zhangsun Ning for a while longer before he left. Zhangsun Ning needed to refine the three Medicinal Pills she had won at the auction today.

These grade 6 pills would be of great use to her; if she consumed them all, she could at least recover more than half of her previous cultivation.

Xiao Fan returned to his own Immortal Cave. He let out a breath, feeling pained over the Spirit Stones he had spent today.

"Fortunately, they gave me 8 million later; otherwise, I really would have had nothing left!" Xiao Fan shook his head with a bitter smile.

"Little guy, you're quite good at calculating!"

"Who's there!"

Inside Xiao Fan's Immortal Cave, the voice of an enchanting woman suddenly rang out, giving Xiao Fan a start. He looked around in panic, his expression terrified.

"Little guy, don't be agitated." The woman walked out. She had the appearance of a beautiful matron, with a graceful figure, full and sexy breasts—she felt like a stunning beauty of the mortal world…

"You, who are you!" Xiao Fan was vigilant. It would be strange if he wasn't panicked by the inexplicable appearance of a mysterious expert in his Immortal Cave. He retreated, placing his right hand on his waist, ready to draw the tianzhu sword and fight for his life at any moment!

"I bear you no malice. Have you forgotten my voice so quickly?" The beautiful woman smiled, winking at Xiao Fan.

"It's you!" Xiao Fan recognized the voice; it was the Mysterious Woman who had spoken up for him at the Auction House earlier.

With just one word from her, Elder Mao Tai had obediently shut his mouth, and she had even given him 8 million Spirit Stones!

But Xiao Fan couldn't figure out why this woman would appear here.

Could it be that she wanted to take back the Spirit Stones she gave him and came to silence him?

Or perhaps it was because his words and actions today had offended Lianhua Pavilion?

Or something else?

Xiao Fan couldn't figure it out. He didn't say a word, just watched the woman, feeling vigilant and secretly thinking of countermeasures.

"You look quite good when you're not talking." The beautiful woman covered her mouth and laughed, growing fonder of Xiao Fan the more she looked at him.

"Uh…" Xiao Fan was confused by this statement; what exactly was she here for?

"Stop teasing him!" At this moment, another voice rang out inside the Immortal Cave. It was a man with a deep, resonant voice that carried an air of natural authority.

This man walked out slowly, wearing a golden Dragon robe, his aura restrained.

Xiao Fan hadn't sensed this person in the Immortal Cave just now. According to what Zhangsun Ning had said earlier, besides this woman at the auction, there was another expert in the shadows.

Xiao Fan figured it must be the man before him.

"You, who are you people!" Xiao Fan was vigilant; facing two experts, he was powerless to protect himself.

Moreover, this was the Imperial City of Yihuang Province; the identities of these two must not be simple. If they fought here…

He estimated that not even Zhangsun Ning could leave safely; she might even die here!

"Us?" The beautiful woman smiled. "Rest assured, little guy, we bear you no malice. I just followed him here to see you out of curiosity."

As the woman spoke, she kept winking at Xiao Fan, giving him goosebumps all over.

He had to admit that this woman had a hot body and a mesmerizing voice that could successfully stir the primal impulses of any man!

"It is I who wanted to see you." The man spoke, looking deeply at Xiao Fan. "My name is Liu Tianyun, the King of the Yihuang Dynasty and its current ruler!"

The newcomer had directly revealed his identity!

"Your Majesty!" Xiao Fan was stunned. This person was actually the King of the Yihuang Dynasty!

He couldn't understand why such a big figure would suddenly appear in his Immortal Cave.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. Greetings, Senior!" Xiao Fan first cupped his hands in salute to Liu Tianyun, then bowed to the beautiful woman.
