Chapter 5986: How Can a Golden Scale Be a Creature of the Pond

"I originally thought Lord Xiao would be the next captain, but it turns out Lord Xiao is a golden scale not meant to stay in a pond! Hahaha… I admire you, I truly do!"

"…"

At this moment, Leng Qingfeng, the new captain of the Guard Team, had all the spotlight stolen by Xiao Fan.

Although he felt uncomfortable inside, Leng Qingfeng didn't say anything.

In Leng Qingfeng's eyes, Xiao Fan was still loyal to the Leng family.

The scene in the Secret Realm made Leng Qingfeng feel that Xiao Fan was a very good person.

If Leng Qingfeng knew that Xiao Fan had intended to set him up, only to be set up by Wu Tongtian himself, what kind of expression would he have?!

Qin Zhandao shook his head and smiled bitterly. Compared to Xiao Fan, his position in the Personal Guard was truly lacking in substance.

Most importantly, Xiao Fan was still young, and he still had many opportunities to grow.

In the future, Xiao Fan might even have the chance to become the captain of the Personal Guard, and by then, he might have the opportunity to become a Disciple of Immortal King Ting Yue.

Only when he reached that step could Xiao Fan be considered to have soared into the sky.

Becoming a Disciple of Immortal King Ting Yue would grant him the qualifications to stand on equal footing with the Old Ancestors of the major top-tier powers.

Qin Zhandao knew very well that with his talent, becoming a member of the Personal Guard was already his limit.

"Lord Xiao, if there are benefits in the future, please don't forget us!"

"Lord Xiao, please take this…"

"Lord Xiao, and mine too…"

"…"

Everyone offered gifts, hoping that Xiao Fan would graciously accept them.

Xiao Fan didn't mind; even a fly's meat is still meat, so he accepted the gifts with a smile.

"Hehehe… You are all too kind. Since we have met, if there are benefits in the future, I certainly won't forget everyone," Xiao Fan said with a smile.

Everyone was delighted, their faces beaming with joy.

"Brother Xiao, when shall we go to the Leng family?"

At this moment, Leng Qingfeng walked to Xiao Fan's side and asked with a smile.

"No rush. I plan to go out for a trip; it will be quick."

"Oh? Alright, do you need my help?"

"No need." Xiao Fan patted Leng Qingfeng on the shoulder.

After giving a few instructions to Xiao Xuan, Xiao Li, and Xiao Qing, Xiao Fan left.

Xiao Fan planned to go to the Soul-Burning Valley to meet the mysterious Soul-Swallower.

Soon, Xiao Fan arrived at the Soul-Burning Valley.

"Senior, I have arrived," Xiao Fan called out with a smile.

The next moment, vines condensed and took the form of a tree-man.

"Hehehe… Kid, why have you come? How have you been lately?" the mysterious Soul-Swallower, now in the form of a tree-man, asked with a laugh.

"It's alright, everything is quite good. How about you, Senior?" Xiao Fan asked with a smile.

"Not bad, everything is quite good," the mysterious Soul-Swallower nodded. "Kid, you wouldn't visit without a reason. What is it? Just ask."

"Hahaha… As expected, nothing can be hidden from you, Senior." Xiao Fan laughed and said, "Well, I left three strands of your soul fragments at the Leng family. What is the situation there now?"

Xiao Fan was about to go to the Leng family, so he had to know about this matter.

If this matter were exposed, it would be dangerous for him to go to the Leng family.

"Hehehe… Rest assured, it's going very well," the mysterious Soul-Swallower said with a smug laugh. "That group of people are all fools; they haven't noticed anything. Now, there is only one soul fragment at the Leng family, the other two have left."

"Oh? Where did they go?!"

"Where?" The mysterious Soul-Swallower raised an eyebrow. "Kid, what are you up to?"

"Nothing, nothing! I was just asking out of curiosity."

"Hehehe… Alright then. Actually, I don't know where they are either. Wherever they go, they go," the mysterious Soul-Swallower said with a smile, his hands behind his back.

"Senior is truly carefree."

"Not bad, not bad."

"Alright, this Junior has nothing else to do, so I will take my leave."

"Leaving already? Kid! How about you…"

"Senior, not now. Let's talk about it in the future." Xiao Fan smiled and left the Barrier of the Soul-Burning Valley.

The mysterious Soul-Swallower was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.

He hadn't said anything, yet Xiao Fan had already guessed his thoughts.

That's right.

The mysterious Soul-Swallower still hoped that Xiao Fan could take more soul fragments out of the Soul-Burning Valley.

Regarding this matter, Xiao Fan did not want to agree for the time being.

After all, the mysterious Soul-Swallower was too mysterious, and Xiao Fan was worried about causing trouble for himself.

"The Leng family, I suppose I should make a trip…" Xiao Fan sighed softly and returned to the ancient castle.

Just as he entered the ancient castle, Xiao Fan was stunned.

There was an endless stream of people coming to congratulate Xiao Fan, and Xiao Xuan, Xiao Qing, and Xiao Li were busy accepting gifts.

"Who… are all these people?!" Xiao Fan looked stunned.

Hearing Xiao Fan's voice, everyone looked over in unison.

"Lord Xiao!"

"Lord Xiao! You've finally returned!"

"Lord Xiao! You must accept this!"

"…"

Xiao Fan: "…"

"Huh?! Who are you people?!" Xiao Fan was taken aback.

"I am from the Zhao family."

"I am from the Tiangang Divine Sect."

"I am from…"

"…"
