When Elder Ye Qiu departed, President Tongtian cupped his fists and said, "Many thanks to Young Master Tao for your assistance, for saving Tongtian Academy from peril!"
"You need not thank me. My sworn brother is a disciple of Tongtian Academy, and I certainly cannot allow them to act recklessly!" Young Master Tao stated directly, "However, where is my sworn brother? I must find him as soon as possible and bring him back to the Tao family to ensure his safety."
"To be frank, even we do not know!" President Tongtian said helplessly. "He left the academy and we have lost all contact. As for where he went, we never inquired."
"If that is the case, then I bid you farewell!" Young Master Tao cupped his fists, his expression indifferent. His purpose here was to protect Lu Fan. Since Lu Fan was not present, he had no reason to linger.
After Young Master Tao left, the elders finally breathed a sigh of relief. Had it not been for Young Master Tao's arrival, they, these old fools, would likely have met a violent end.
"I never imagined that young Lu Fan would have such a connection with the Young Master of the Tao family!"
The President sighed, "If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have worried so much."
"This lad is blessed by heaven, and moreover, as an ancient divine body, he is favored by the heavens. How could he be an ordinary person!" Elder Nine smiled, "However, for this boy, you have risked the entire academy. Do you regret it, Mr. President?"
"As long as he can grow, there is nothing to regret!" The President said with a wry smile, "After all, to have produced a divine body, I am quite looking forward to it."
The other elders also nodded in agreement. Ancient divine bodies are rare and precious, especially in this era. To have an ancient divine body appear, how could they possibly miss such an opportunity.
At the same time, across the entire Eastern Domain, it was as if an explosion had occurred, causing quite a stir. The news that the ancient divine body had a sworn brotherhood with the Young Master of the Desolate Ancient Tao family spread like a bombshell.
Originally, many factions had ideas about the ancient divine body, but now they dared not act rashly. They were well aware of the formidable foundation of the desolate ancient families. With the Young Master of the Tao family already mobilized, ordinary forces would not dare to make a move.
Despite the protection of the Tao family, Tongtian Academy dared not be careless. Under the leadership of the President, Tongtian Academy was disbanded, and the entire academy became empty with not a single person within. The reason for this was the fear of other numerous forces.
In such an environment, without strong mental fortitude, no one could remain calm.
Meanwhile, within the Magic Mall, Han Xiaoxiao learned that Tongtian Academy had been disbanded without any innocent casualties, and she felt a sense of relief. Her greatest fear was that something would happen to Tongtian Academy, as Lu Fan would surely blame her then.
However, it seemed her worries were unfounded. With the Desolate Ancient Tao family stepping forward, no one dared to easily harm Tongtian Academy. This way, Lu Fan would not have to take risks.
The Han Family Head looked at Han Xiaoxiao, "You girl, you are too reckless in your actions. Fortunately, Tongtian Academy is unharmed this time. If Tongtian Academy had been in trouble, he would surely blame you. How would you explain it then!"
"It's fine now, isn't it!"
Han Xiaoxiao smiled lightly, "I predicted this long ago, so everything is under control!"
"Easy for you to say. You cannot control many of the affairs involved,"
The Han Family Head said coldly, "You must not be so rash in the future, lest you bring disaster upon yourself!"
"I know, Dad, don't lecture me anymore!"
Han Xiaoxiao said with a helpless expression. She originally wanted to say more, but in the end, she held back. In truth, she was also very worried that Lu Fan would hold a grudge against her, but now, it was all well.
With a joyful heart, she went to Lu Fan's room. However, Lu Fan was still not awake, appearing groggy.
"Why isn't he awake yet? Under normal circumstances, he should be close," Han Xiaoxiao muttered to herself, a hint of doubt in her heart.
Just then, Lu Fan gradually woke up, looking quite exhausted. He looked towards Han Xiaoxiao and asked, "What happened to me?"
"You took a nap. Perhaps you were too tired," Han Xiaoxiao replied with a wry smile.
A flicker of images in Lu Fan's mind, then he suddenly sat up, "Tongtian Academy, I was supposed to go to Tongtian Academy. How many days have passed?"
"You have been asleep for three consecutive days!" Han Xiaoxiao stated directly, "As for Tongtian Academy, you don't need to worry about it anymore. Tongtian Academy is fine, and all the students have been dispersed, including the elders who have already left."
With these words, Lu Fan's expression instantly turned solemn. He could never have imagined that he would sleep for three consecutive days.
"No, I couldn't have slept for three days. Did you do something to me?" Lu Fan suddenly looked at Han Xiaoxiao, his gaze even more intimidating.
"I did knock you out. It was for your own good!" Han Xiaoxiao said helplessly, "If I hadn't done so, how would you have listened to me? Moreover, going to Tongtian Academy would have been useless. It was better to stay here!"
"My affairs do not require your arrangement. Your acting on your own initiative is too much!"
Lu Fan said coldly, "I consider you a friend. What do you consider me?"
"I consider you my beloved. It is precisely because of this that I acted against you. I don't want you to be harmed in any way!" Han Xiaoxiao said without reservation, "Can't you see my feelings for you?"
"My feelings for you?"
Lu Fan smiled faintly, "I really didn't see it. When you accompanied me to Tongtian Academy, it was only to obtain the Divine Emperor Cauldron. Now, by knocking me unconscious, you probably don't want me to be harmed, but the fundamental reason is that you want me, because I am the Desolate Ancient Divine Body!"
"Say whatever you want, think whatever you want. That's just how it is!"
Han Xiaoxiao's expression was indifferent, "If you can't stand it, then I have nothing more to say!"
With these words, Lu Fan's expression became even colder. Especially towards someone like Han Xiaoxiao, he felt contempt from the bottom of his heart. He could never have imagined that Han Xiaoxiao would resort to such underhanded tactics to obtain him, even knocking him unconscious.
"I have done so much for you, and not only do you not thank me, but you also speak words to hurt me," Han Xiaoxiao said with a bitter smile, "Ultimately, I have misplaced my affections."
Lu Fan did not say much more. Instead, he walked towards the outside of the Han family. He didn't know if Han Xiaoxiao was telling the truth, so he had to go to Tongtian Academy to feel at ease. He would absolutely not allow Tongtian Academy to be destroyed because of him.
"There are countless forces outside looking for you. Aren't you seeking death by going out now!" Han Xiaoxiao blocked Lu Fan's path.
