"My business is none of your concern, and you can't make decisions for me!" Lu Fan said angrily.
"I know I was wrong about this matter, but everything I did was for you." Han Xiaoxiao spoke again. "Tongtian Academy is protected by the young master of the Tao family, so there won't be any problems. You don't need to worry about me. Everything I say is true. If there's even half a lie, I'm willing to be struck by lightning!"
Lu Fan paused his movement and frowned slightly. Han Xiaoxiao's words made him think the matter might be true. However, no matter what, Lu Fan still didn't quite trust Han Xiaoxiao.
"If you insist on leaving, I naturally won't stop you!"
Han Xiaoxiao said directly, "However, the young master of the Tao family is looking for you. If you return to the family with him, the Tao family will surely protect you. At that time, even if the Sacred Land wants to deal with you, it won't be so easy!"
"I know that naturally!"
After Lu Fan finished speaking, he stepped out of the Magic Mall, his expression indifferent, showing no gratitude towards Han Xiaoxiao.
Han Xiaoxiao was also quite helpless. He knew Lu Fan's temper and knew that his actions had provoked him.
Seeing this scene, the Han family head also said with a wry smile, "Why did you have to do this? I told you long ago not to act without authorization. Why didn't you listen?"
"If it were anyone else, I wouldn't care about their life or death, but I must care about him!" Han Xiaoxiao said seriously. "Old man, can you send a master from the Han family to secretly protect him? That way, I can feel at ease."
"Although the Han family has many masters, if the Sacred Land targets him, even sending masters might not be effective." The Han family head smiled wryly. "You should understand how terrifying the strength of the Sacred Land is!"
Han Xiaoxiao nodded slightly, feeling helpless. He really wanted to keep Lu Fan, but he didn't know how to speak. He could only let Lu Fan leave.
"However, this kid has a lot of good fortune. He should be fine!" The Han family head smiled. "Even the ancient Tao family is related to him. Not many people dare to provoke him!"
"That's right. Besides that, he also possesses a divine weapon. With his current strength, if he activates the divine weapon, even an unparalleled expert might not be able to defeat him in a short time!" Han Xiaoxiao nodded slightly, instantly gaining confidence.
"A divine weapon?"
The Han family head was slightly surprised. "Could it be that the divine weapon that appeared in the Eastern Region a while ago is in his hands?"
"That's right, the Divine Emperor Cauldron has always been under his control!" Han Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Even the most powerful experts will be reduced to ashes under a revived divine weapon!"
"Indeed, a favored son of heaven, blessed by the heavens. Perhaps in the future Immortal Path battle, he can ascend to the highest heavens and suppress all ages!" The Han family head looked on with longing.
"The man I, Han Xiaoxiao, like is naturally not ordinary." Han Xiaoxiao patted his chest. "So, old man, you should know why I care so much about him!"
"It's just a pity that you have feelings for him, but he is indifferent to you!" The Han family head said with a wry smile. "Otherwise, even if we had to sacrifice the entire Han family, we would have to help him."
"You're really hitting where it hurts!" Han Xiaoxiao rolled his eyes but didn't pay much attention. No matter what Lu Fan thought, she only had eyes for him, and only Lu Fan could enter her heart in this lifetime.
The Han family head saw this but was filled with helplessness. He knew very well that someone as outstanding as Lu Fan might meet even more outstanding individuals in the future, and Han Xiaoxiao would need to continue growing to become his partner.
After all, a favored son of heaven like Lu Fan would surely compete with the saint sons and saintesses of the various Sacred Lands in the future. As for their small families, they were nothing.
After Lu Fan left the Magic Mall, Shen Beidong received the news and sneered. He had expected Lu Fan to stay in the Magic Mall for several months, so he had been waiting for an opportunity. He hadn't expected Lu Fan to leave so soon.
"Young master, when should we make our move?"
The white-haired elder spoke, "If it weren't for this brat causing trouble, things wouldn't have turned out this way. The Shen family and the Han family would have long been allied through marriage."
"Make your move now!" Shen Beidong said coldly.
A short while later, Shen Beidong arrived before Elder Han. After bidding farewell, he left the Magic Mall.
At the same time, Shen Beidong, led by the old man, chased after Lu Fan. Now was the best opportunity, and they would not let Lu Fan go easily. Back in the Magic Mall, Lu Fan had confronted him, and how could he let it go easily?
In a forest, Lu Fan had traveled for a day before stopping to rest. It was quite a distance from the Magic Mall to Tongtian Academy. Even cultivators would need several days and nights to reach it. Although Lu Fan was already a half-saint, it would still take some time.
Just then, Lu Fan frowned and suddenly stood up, clearly sensing something was wrong, especially with the subtle fluctuations in the surrounding air.
"May I ask which expert is spying on me?"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "Why don't you come out and show yourself!"
"Your sensing of aura is indeed formidable. I didn't expect us to be so well-hidden, yet you still discovered us!"
Shen Beidong smiled faintly and appeared before Lu Fan, his gaze becoming sharp.
Seeing the person before him, Lu Fan sneered, "I truly didn't expect you to leave the Magic Mall with me. You must be here for me?"
"Naturally. If I weren't here for you, why would I travel thousands of miles to follow you!"
Shen Beidong smiled faintly. "It just makes me curious, why do you show no fear? Aren't you afraid of dying at my hands?"
"If I were afraid, I would have run away long ago. Why would I be standing here?" Lu Fan chuckled. "I see you as a friend of the Han family, and I don't wish to make things difficult for you. You should leave on your own. Don't force me to act!"
"Arrogant, truly arrogant!"
Shen Beidong burst into laughter. "I've seen the presumptuous, but I've never seen someone as presumptuous as you. Your words are so sharp, you truly have quite the nerve!"
"What, do you think you can kill me?" Lu Fan asked indifferently, instead questioning him.
"If I can't kill you, can't the people of my Shen family kill you?" Shen Beidong's expression turned cold. At that moment, two old men suddenly appeared behind Shen Beidong. The auras emanating from these two old men were exceptionally terrifying.
"Two Saints!"
Lu Fan glanced at them. "Is this your trump card? Or do you believe that with two Saints from the Shen family, you can take my life."
"It's your fault for offending me. Otherwise, you wouldn't be in such a predicament!"
Shen Beidong said coldly. "If you kneel down and kowtow now, I might consider letting you go!"
