Chapter 714: The Excited Long Family

The direct descendants and female members of the Long Mansion appeared one after another, all drawn by the commotion!

In the Long Mansion, the only one who could be called Third Master was Xiao Fan!

One must know that Xiao Fan was recognized by everyone in the Long Family!

Back when the Long Family suffered their tribulation, the female members and direct descendants were locked in dog cages by Xiao Tian and hung outside the City Lord's Mansion!

It was Xiao Fan's powerful return that rescued them.

Without Xiao Fan, the Long Family might have perished long ago.

"Xiao Fan!"

"It really is Xiao Fan… it's the Third Master!"

"Third Master Xiao…"

"Third Brother-in-law…"

"…"

The Long Family members who rushed over addressed Xiao Fan in all sorts of ways.

Some of these faces were familiar to Xiao Fan, while others were not; he nodded to everyone with a smile.

Nangong Lingxuan remained expressionless, her mind filled with complex thoughts; this was her first time visiting the Long Family.

Wei Zhongshan stood to the side, looking utterly horrified. He wasn't shocked by these people welcoming his big brother, but rather by the fact that his big brother really did seem to be a matrilocal son-in-law!

Was being a matrilocal son-in-law so promising these days?

At this moment, Wei Zhongshan wondered if the only difference between him and Xiao Fan was their status.

"Xiao Fan, you—you're not dead!!" At that moment, Long Anhai and a group of clan Elders also hurried out, freezing in shock upon seeing Xiao Fan.

"I'm not dead. I've caused Father to worry," Xiao Fan said with a smile. He was very respectful toward Long Anhai, a respect that naturally stemmed from Long Miaoyin.

"Hahaha… it really is Xiao Fan! He really didn't die! He's alive!!"

"Haha, Xiao Fan isn't dead! He actually came back alive!"

"…"

Tears of joy streamed down the faces of Long Anhai and the clan Elders. They never expected Xiao Fan to return alive!

When Xiao Fan had supposedly fallen, it shook the Long Family even more than when Long Miaoyin was kidnapped!

After all, at that time, Xiao Fan was the Long Family's hope and their true backer.

Fortunately, the Jixian Sect was grateful and had announced in Wuhuang Province that the Long Family was under their protection.

Otherwise, those who wanted to retaliate against Xiao Fan but hadn't had the chance would have certainly taken it out on the Long Family!

"Xiao Fan, you're not dead!" At that moment, Ancestor Long Zizai flew over through the air, his face filled with disbelief upon seeing Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan looked up at him. Ancestor Long Zizai now had the strength of the second level of the Xuandan Realm, with a very solid Foundation, and he looked much younger than before.

Previously, Ancestor Long Zizai had a head of white hair and a white beard, but now, black strands were mingled within the white, and he looked radiant.

"I'm not dead. I've caused Grandfather to worry," Xiao Fan said with a smile. His gentle and humble demeanor was completely different from his awe-inspiring presence in the Imperial City a few days ago.

"Wonderful, simply wonderful!"

Ancestor Long Zizai personally gave the order for a banquet to be prepared; the Long Family was going to hold a grand feast!

Xiao Fan's return was absolutely the best news for the Long Family!

"Spread the news that Xiao Fan is not dead and has returned alive! Notify all the nearby cities!!" Long Anhai immediately ordered.

The news of Xiao Fan's return would be a deterrent in itself!

His Long Family was about to rise again!

Xiao Fan didn't stop them. The Long Family had treated him well, and it was a good thing if they could be protected by his reputation.

Long Anhai pulled Xiao Fan aside to chat about this and that, while Ancestor Long Zizai stood behind them, stroking his beard, and the clan Elders surrounded Xiao Fan.

After chatting outside for a while, Long Anhai welcomed the three of them into the main hall.

"And these two are…?"

After entering the hall, Ancestor Long Zizai asked. Nangong Lingxuan was fine; he could tell her cultivation was the same as his own.

But Wei Zhongshan… though young, the aura he emitted was even more terrifying than that of the Jixian Sect's Elders.

"Hehe… I'm Big Brother's follower, Grandfather!" Wei Zhongshan gave a silly grin, scratched his head, and bowed to Ancestor Long Zizai.

His own big brother called him Grandfather, so how could he not be polite?

Being called "Grandfather" by such a powerful expert, one could only imagine how shocked Ancestor Long Zizai was!

"Don't be so polite, don't be so polite! We're all Family!" Ancestor Long Zizai laughed, forcing himself to remain calm.

Of course… if he knew that Wei Zhongshan was in the Pi Hai Realm, he probably wouldn't have been able to keep up the act.

"My name is Nangong Lingxuan. I am Xiao Fan's… Xiao Fan's fellow disciple," Nangong Lingxuan said after a moment's hesitation.

"A fellow disciple! Good, good, good. Treat this place as your own home, don't be polite," Ancestor Long Zizai laughed heartily.

Long Anhai and the clan Elders were all standing by. Nangong Lingxuan's beauty was world-toppling; probably only Long Miaoyin after her appearance was restored could compare!

And when Xiao Fan returned, this woman had come with him…

The implications were self-evident!

However, they all kept their suspicions to themselves, and none of them showed it.

One must know that the talent Xiao Fan had previously displayed was definitely at the top tier of Wuhuang Province.

It was not surprising for such a powerful individual to have women who admired him by his side.

Previously, the Long Family had wanted to betroth Long Caiwei to Xiao Fan for this very reason!

They wanted to tie Xiao Fan firmly to the Long Family's ship.

As it turned out…

Who could have imagined that after Long Miaoyin's beauty was restored, she would actually be kidnapped!

Xiao Fan chatted with Ancestor Long Zizai, Long Anhai, and the other clan Elders for several hours.

The evening banquet was prepared and was extremely lavish; it could be said that the Long Family had brought out all the good things from their treasury from the past few years.

Of course, these delicacies certainly couldn't compare to those of the Imperial City or Yihuang Province!
