It was simply impossible to see the boy who joked and cursed with him as the boss of Lingyan Pavilion.

Both of them were staring with their mouths agape, almost dislocating their jaws.

Xu Fan saw this and didn't know whether to cry or laugh. At this rate, they were almost peeing their pants in fright.

"Alright, stop making such a fuss. It's no big deal. Look how scared you two are."

"Boss, this is no small matter..."

Chen Dongdong pursed his lips as he spoke.

Now he remembered and understood why Xu Fan had dared to use his name at school if he ran into trouble.

Given Xu Fan's status in Jinling nowadays, not to mention Xu Fan's classmates, even if it were a dog raised by Xu Fan, people might not dare to touch it.

"Zhou Zhanlong, He Si, what do you think of my two brothers?"

After jesting with Chen Dongdong and Shi Lei for a bit, Xu Fan turned to look at Zhou Zhanlong and the others.

The purpose of bringing the two of them here was precisely to introduce them so that they could help with their cultivation.

"Pretty good,"

Even with the added halo of being Xu Fan's brothers, their performance just now indeed passed the test of He Si and Zhou Zhanlong.

At this moment, the two of them nodded in approval, and Xu Fan hummed in acknowledgment, then said, "In that case, I'll entrust the two of them to you for cultivation. Are you willing?"

"My lord, what are you saying? Naturally, there's no problem,"

Zhou Zhanlong agreed without hesitation, thumping his chest.

After he spoke, he turned to look at Shi Lei and said, "Kid, although those tricks of yours look like dog shit to me, I really like your tenacity."

"What do you say? Do you dare to follow me and learn a few moves?"

"This, this, this..."

It was clear that following Zhou Zhanlong would inevitably lead to torment, but at this moment, Shi Lei was more excited than anything else.

He stuttered for a long time before finally managing to speak coherently.

"I hope Master Zhou can give me more guidance. I will learn seriously!"

Chen Dongdong was standing to one side, his eyes spinning around as he hatched a plan. As soon as he figured it out, he immediately bounded over to He Si with a big grin.

"Hehe, He Si, there's something I'd like to ask you about,"

"Speak!"

He Si glared at Chen Dongdong reluctantly, one hand on his crotch and clearly irritated.

This little fatty had played too dirty, nearly breaking his "eggs."

"Hehe, well, He Si, I've heard people say that your martial arts are incredibly cunning and you're known as 'Golden Spear Silver Egg,' feared by none. I just wonder whether that's just a fancy title or not,"

"Bullshit, how could that be just a fancy title?"

He Si shot Chen Dongdong a look and cursed.

As he mulled over what 'Golden Spear Silver Egg' meant, he thought that anything with gold and silver in it sounded pretty good.

"Hehe, I also don't think it's a fancy title. After all, I just now dared to test it out a bit. Your 'Golden Spear Silver Egg' really lives up to its reputation. My knee is still hurting."

"..."

Hearing this, He Si understood that this bastard was passing the buck.

"Get lost, stop pulling that crap with me."

"Fatty, from now on, you follow me. Be smart and don't think just because you are the master's classmate, I, He Si, will favor you."

"If you dare make a mistake, I'll train you into having a golden gun and silver bullets."

With widened eyes, he began instructing, and Chen Dongdong nodded his head smilingly.

"Hehe, definitely, definitely..."

Xu Fan watched their chaotic interaction and couldn't help but nod.

Although these two brothers of his were still quite green, they each had their unique talents. He believed that it wouldn't take much time for them to shine under Zhou Zhanlong and He Si's mentorship.

Just then, the phone rang. Xu Fan told them to keep talking while he took the phone and walked outside.

After reaching a quiet place, Xu Fan answered the call.

The call was from Shanghai, and the caller...

...was none other than Qing Gang leader Han Dongxu, who had followed him not long ago.

Xu Fan's intention was to use the Qing Gang as a hidden chess piece, staying out of sight until the crucial moment to be utilized.

Logically, Han Dongxu shouldn't be contacting him at this time. Xu Fan guessed that he must have encountered some serious matter and urgently needed to inform him.

Once the call connected, Xu Fan got straight to the point, "Han Dongxu, speak. What's the matter?"

Xu Fan's presupposition surprised Han Dongxu, who hesitated for a moment, then said, "Boss, there's something I think I should notify you about."

"I heard from my men that Ke Bancheng's wife recently went on a long trip..."

Ke Family's most publicly acclaimed member was Ke Bancheng, but Han Dongxu once witnessed a side of him with Ana Dan that was not known to others.

Having suspicions, he had covertly investigated and was very clear that the true controller of Ke Family should be Ana Dan, not Ke Bancheng.

At such a critical juncture, everything warranted suspicion, not to mention Ana Dan herself, who was already shrouded in enigmas.

Now knowing his boss's background, Han Dongxu felt that Ana Dan's trip was likely to have a significant connection with Xu Fan.

Laying everything out that he knew, Han Dongxu then remarked, "That's all, boss. I've told you everything necessary. Please, be extremely careful."

"Hmm, got it."

Xu Fan nodded, not bothering with a long conversation, and hung up the phone.

Leaning against the wall, he began pondering this matter on his own.

"Could it be..."

With furrowed brows, Xu Fan considered a possibility.

Ana Dan was the goddaughter of Red Grandma, and since Red Grandma belonged to the Heavenly Witch Sect, how could her goddaughter be unaware?

Ana Dan was most likely a member of the Heavenly Witch Sect too.

With this reasoning, Xu Fan likely unearthed why Ana Dan had left Shanghai this time.

Red Grandma died by his hand, something neither Ana Dan nor the Heavenly Witch Sect could let go of easily.

Knowing his background, Ana Dan must have sought greater certainty to eliminate this "thorn in her side," notifying the members of the Heavenly Witch Sect.

All she needed to do was add fuel to the fire with her story to the Heavenly Witch Sect, and through their hands, she could remove this "thorn," securing her high seat in the Ke Family of Shanghai.

"Heh, interesting...

"When I left Miaojiang, godmother had already asked me to eradicate the Heavenly Witch Sect.

"I was somewhat troubled about how to handle this task and repay the kindness godmother showed in saving me and Xiao Die. Now, it seems likely that the sect members will take the initiative to come to me.

"In that case, I'll get to see whether the Heavenly Witch Sect's Gu Poison Art is formidable, or if the Ghost Gu Secret Art is even stronger!"
