Chapter 6039: Let’s Turn Enemies Into Friends!

"I would like… to become an Imperial Palace Guard! To protect your safety, Your Majesty!" Xiao Fan said with a beaming smile.

"Are your skills up to the task?"

"I can do it." Xiao Fan nodded repeatedly.

"Heh heh heh… Emperor Xie Caijun, what do you think?" The man in the yellow robe looked at Emperor Xie Caijun, casting an inquiring glance.

"Hahaha… Let me test him!"

Emperor Xie Caijun slowly walked in front of Xiao Fan.

The fat-eared and pot-bellied Emperor Xie Caijun was a full size larger than Xiao Fan.

"Imperial Brother, if he can defeat me, then he is qualified. If he cannot, heh heh heh… then he is not," Emperor Xie Caijun said with a faint smile.

"Good idea." The man in the yellow robe nodded. "Xiao Fan, defeat him, and you can become an Imperial Palace Guard."

"Alright!" Xiao Fan nodded repeatedly.

Although he was now a creature of flesh and blood, defeating Emperor Xie Caijun was more than enough, wasn't it?!

"Xiao Fan! Here I come!" Emperor Xie Caijun reached out with both hands, aiming to grab Xiao Fan's shoulders.

However, with a simple flick, Xiao Fan easily broke free from Emperor Xie Caijun.

Emperor Xie Caijun was stunned for a moment, and Xiao Fan had already stooped down and moved behind him.

A chopstick had appeared in his hand at some point, pressed against Emperor Xie Caijun's neck.

"Lord Xie, you have lost." Xiao Fan said calmly.

Seeing this, Emperor Xie Caijun gasped.

If what was in his hand had been a blade, he would already be dead!

"Xiao Fan, you… are not bad." Sweat beaded on Emperor Xie Caijun's forehead, and he felt a lingering fear.

"Heh heh heh… I'm alright." Xiao Fan smiled, looked at the young man in the yellow robe, and cupped his hands. "Your Majesty, what do you think?!"

"Not bad, very good." The young man in the yellow robe nodded.

"From today on, you are an Imperial Palace Guard."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The next day.

Early in the morning, Xiao Fan entered the Imperial Palace.

The young man in the yellow robe had said that since he became an Imperial Palace Guard, he must act as his eyes and ears, secretly patrolling everything.

In fact, this was also Xiao Fan's goal.

First, make contact with the Emperor, and after getting familiar, have him introduce him into the imperial palace.

By getting familiar with him in advance, he would naturally become a trusted confidant, which would facilitate Xiao Fan's future actions.

Outside.

"Immortal King Ting Yue, look at him! This Xiao Fan is too shameless!" Wu Tongtian said angrily.

"Heh heh heh… It is a bit despicable, but never mind." Immortal King Ting Yue shook her head and smiled faintly.

Every move of Xiao Fan and the others was clearly visible to Wu Tongtian and Immortal King Ting Yue.

Three days after Xiao Fan entered the Imperial Palace.

Xiao Fan had been investigating the matter regarding Immortal King Ting Yue's disciple token.

It was a pity, however, that there was no news at all.

But Xiao Fan heard another piece of news.

That was, a few days ago, someone delivering vegetables had been acting sneakily and suspiciously and was thrown into the celestial prison.

Upon hearing this news, Xiao Fan was suddenly enlightened.

It must be some Captain of the Personal Guard!

Xiao Fan became interested, curious if this person had discovered anything.

He was also curious about who this person really was!

Thus, Xiao Fan bribed his way in and secretly went to the celestial prison.

"Snap" "Snap" "Snap"

As soon as he entered the celestial prison, Xiao Fan heard the sound of a whip lashing.

"Speak! Are you still not going to confess? Speak!"

"Stop hitting me! I was wrong… I shouldn't have wandered around, I really don't know anything…"

"Zhao Tiangang?!" Xiao Fan was stunned for a moment, then walked over with a smile.

Sure enough.

At this moment, Zhao Tiangang was battered and bruised, tied tightly to a wooden pillar, looking very miserable.

"Heh heh heh… Has this person confessed?" Xiao Fan said calmly.

"Not yet. Who are you?"

"His Majesty sent me." Xiao Fan took out a golden Token.

Seeing this, the jailer was startled and cupped his hands in a salute to Xiao Fan.

"You're too polite. I need to interrogate him alone." Xiao Fan said calmly.

"Yes!" The jailer nodded and turned to leave.

Hearing Xiao Fan's voice, Zhao Tiangang froze and looked at Xiao Fan in disbelief.

"You! It's you… Xiao Fan!"

"That's right, it's me!" Xiao Fan nodded and walked up to Zhao Tiangang.

"Zhao Tiangang, you look miserable!"

"I… Sigh… Xiao Fan, please help me! Find a way to get me out! I really didn't do anything!"

"I naturally know that you are innocent; you were there for the Token." Xiao Fan said calmly.

"Right! That's right!" Zhao Tiangang said with deep distress. "I told them! They just don't believe me! Xiao Fan! You must find a way to help me!"

"Heh heh heh… Zhao Tiangang, are we on good terms?!"

"Huh? This… Xiao Fan, no! Brother Xiao, I was wrong! I was wrong! Please help me! From now on, let's turn enemies into friends! Once I get out! I will definitely repay you well!"

"Heh heh heh… Zhao Tiangang, tell me, what have you discovered?" Xiao Fan crossed his arms and said calmly.

"You… you let me go! Then I will tell you what I discovered!"

"Let you go? Zhao Tiangang, you really think too highly of me; I don't have the ability to let you go." Xiao Fan shook his head.

"If you can't let me go! Then I won't tell you anything." Zhao Tiangang exhaled and said in a low voice.

"Oh? Is that so?!"

Xiao Fan turned around, took out a red-hot branding iron, and walked toward Zhao Tiangang step by step.
