Chapter 757: The Truth

"W-What did you say!" The woman was shocked, unconsciously taking two steps back as an unmaskable rage surfaced on her Face!

The young lad before her had just said he was going to kill her on behalf of Zhu Gang?

Was he insane?

"I said, Zhu Gang's dying wish was to kill his stepmother. Is that you?" Xiao Fan asked coldly once more, his voice icy and filled with murderous intent!

"You little animal, you're looking for death!!" the woman roared in fury!

At this moment, Zhu Wan was also filled with shock. What did this young man just say?

He wanted to kill his wife?

"Young friend, what is the meaning of this!" Zhu Wan said coldly, killing intent surfacing around him. However, he didn't act impulsively and wasn't in a hurry to strike.

He could ignore Nangong Lingxuan's third-level Xuandan Realm cultivation!

But the feeling Xiao Fan and Wei Zhongshan radiated made his heart palpitate; he couldn't afford to ignore them!

Wei Zhongshan didn't say a word, silently standing behind Xiao Fan. He could sense that Xiao Fan's current mood was extremely violent!

"I said, I am going to kill your wife. Is she the one?" Xiao Fan looked at Zhu Wan and repeated himself once more!

Nangong Lingxuan and Long Caiwei remained silent on the side.

Both women knew that Zhu Gang was Xiao Fan's good friend from his time in the Jixian Sect.

They were also shaken when they heard the news of Zhu Gang's death…

But who would have thought that at this moment…

"Young friend, I am the head of the Zhu Family, and my Zhu Family is the number one Family in Pingwan City. You say you want to behead my wife right in front of my Face—do you have any respect for me?!" Zhu Wan's voice was low, and killing intent flared.

"Number one Family?" Xiao Fan sneered. "You certainly talk big."

"You!!" Zhu Wan was so angry he slammed the table and stood up, glaring with fury!

The woman hurried to Zhu Wan's side, looking aggrieved.

"Husband… this little bastard just said he'd kill me right in front of you!"

"He's not giving you any Face at all… Husband…"

"He even claimed just now that Zhu Gang asked him to… That boy ran away for years and didn't even come home. Who knows what kind of bad crowd he fell in with out there…"

"…"

The woman was sharp-tongued and began to lodge her complaints.

Hearing Zhu Gang's name, Zhu Wan's expression grew even gloomier!

He turned back and glared fiercely at the woman, startling her so much she immediately shut her mouth.

She didn't understand why Zhu Wan's reaction would be so intense upon hearing the name 'Zhu Gang'.

"It seems you still have some regard for Zhu Gang in your heart…" Xiao Fan said indifferently, having witnessed Zhu Wan's reaction.

"Zhu Gang is my son, how could I not care?" Zhu Wan spoke in a heavy voice. "Out of consideration for you being Gang'er's friend, I can overlook what you just said. Leave…"

Hearing this, the woman beside him immediately became anxious!

"Husband, this person just said he was going to kill me, and you're actually going to let him go!"

Zhu Wan didn't say a word, his Face so dark it looked like it could drip water.

"Do you know why Zhu Gang left your Zhu Family?" Xiao Fan asked calmly.

In Xiao Fan's eyes, this woman was already a corpse.

It was merely a difference of dying a bit sooner or a bit later.

"What does that have to do with you?" Zhu Wan's expression changed, and killing intent radiated from his entire body!

"It seems you do know." Xiao Fan's gaze fixed on Zhu Wan's eyes.

His gaze was profound, like an endless abyss, making Zhu Wan feel as if he were being watched by an ancient demon god, causing his whole body to tremble…

"You, you little animal, what do you mean by that!" The woman stamped her feet in anger on the side!

Her Realm and perspective were too low; she didn't sense Xiao Fan's terror at all!

The current Xiao Fan was a top-tier combat power in Wuhuang Province!

Xiao Fan ignored the woman and continued to look at Zhu Wan, asking indifferently, "Do you regret it now?"

"Regret?"

After a long silence, Zhu Wan gave a bitter smile. "Is regret useful?"

"It's not, I just wanted to know," Xiao Fan said. "Back then, on Zhu Gang's way to the Jixian Sect, he was ambushed by several groups of experts. I saw this with my own eyes. And the person who sent those experts to kill Zhu Gang is your current wife, the woman beside you."

"What!" Hearing this, Zhu Wan abruptly looked up at Xiao Fan, his body swaying involuntarily.

"You—you're lying!!" The woman immediately became frantic.

From beginning to end, Xiao Fan had not acknowledged the woman once, keeping his eyes calmly on Zhu Wan.

"What do you want to do?" Xiao Fan asked calmly.

Zhu Wan's body couldn't stop trembling. His eyes were bloodshot as he looked at the woman beside him.

After being a couple for many years, her current reaction and her Heart-Nature made it indeed possible that she would plot to harm Zhu Gang…

"You… you sent people to assassinate Gang'er?"

"I—I didn't! Husband, they are framing me! Hurry up and kill them!" The woman insisted she was innocent.

"You… you…" Zhu Wan's body shook uncontrollably, his expression shocked and filled with complexity…

Xiao Fan just watched quietly, wanting to see how Zhu Wan would respond.

After a long while…

Zhu Wan said in a heavy voice, "You all should go. Leave my Zhu Family."

"Husband!"

"Shut up!"

The woman knew that Zhu Wan was truly enraged now, so she didn't dare to speak further.

"It seems that in your heart, your son is still not as important as your wife," Xiao Fan said calmly.
