Ling Fan asked, "Brother Wei, do you have anything else?"
Wei Bin thought for a moment and said, "Brother Ling, I might have to stay on Xuanyue Island for a while longer. I'll find you after that."
Toad teased, "Binzi, is it for Miss Xuan Er? You're the kind of guy who forgets friends for beauty."
Wei Bin didn't deny it. Since he had thick skin, he frankly admitted, "To be honest, I've seen many beautiful girls, but Xuanna gives me a different feeling. I don't want to regret it later."
As he spoke, Wei Bin narcissistically said, "Alas, it's a pity that there will be one less romantic wanderer in the world from now on. For those beauties who didn't get to know me, I can only say sorry to them."
"Stop flattering yourself! Am I not as handsome as you?" Toad said indignantly.
Wei Bin stared at Toad for a long time and shook his head, "I really can't tell."
"You know nothing! My handsome and elegant appearance, Mo Ye, is second to none in the Golden Toad clan of Man-Eating Demons."
Wei Bin gave a thumbs up while gagging.
Toad puffed up its eyes, stood on its hind legs, and burst with silver light, "Damn it, Binzi, your skin is itching again!"
"Come on, let's spar?"
A while later, Toad and Wei Bin were both bruised and swollen, still unable to determine a winner, glaring at each other.
Ling Fan kicked Toad, "Let's go, don't delay my important business."
"Alright!"
Toad quickly followed behind, casting a triumphant glance at Wei Bin.
Xuanyue Island Island Master's Mansion.
This Island Master's Mansion was newly built.
The original Island Master's Mansion had been completely destroyed in the previous battle with Giant Whale City. This new Island Master's Mansion was rebuilt to be even more magnificent and grander than before.
In the council hall of the Island Master's Mansion.
Xuan Sheng and his daughter Xuanna, upon learning that Ling Fan was about to leave Xuanyue Island, immediately became restless and tried their best to persuade him to stay.
After all, without Ling Fan, their Xuanyue Island would have been destroyed long ago, and there would be no glorious present.
It could be said that all of this was obtained thanks to Ling Fan.
However, Ling Fan's decision was made, and no matter how hard Xuan Sheng and Xuanna tried to persuade him, Ling Fan merely shook his head.
Toad looked at Xuanna and said teasingly, "Miss Xuan Er, don't worry. Only Boss Ling and I are leaving. This kid Wei Bin isn't leaving; he wants to stay for you. Although my little brother is a bit shameless, he's not a bad person, and his talent is passable. Of course, it's not as good as Mo Ye's, but it's much stronger than other so-called geniuses. You won't lose out by following him."
Xuanna's face immediately turned red.
Wei Bin shouted, "Who the hell is your little brother! You're more like my little brother!"
Toad said, "Today, in front of your future father-in-law and wife, Mo Ye will give you some face and not argue with you. Binzi, don't slack off on your cultivation. Don't get beaten so badly that you can't find your way home next time we meet!"
"Master Wei also wants to remind you, next time we meet, don't get beaten so badly that you're looking for teeth all over the ground."
Wei Bin said proudly.
The commotion caused by these two indeed diluted the somber atmosphere of parting.
Just as Ling Fan was about to get up and leave.
Suddenly.
Young Island Master Xuan Ye, accompanied by Li Mobing and a group of powerful individuals, barged into the council hall without announcement.
Xuan Sheng's face darkened, and he scolded, "Ye'er, I'm discussing matters with Young Master Ling. Why did you barge in so rashly? What kind of behavior is this!"
Xuan Ye said, "Father, I came precisely for his matter! He's here now, so I have something to report."
Xuan Sheng looked deeply at Xuan Ye, with a hint of warning, "What could you possibly have to report? Speak what should be spoken, and don't say what shouldn't be said."
"Your son's heart is always concerned with the safety and honor of Xuanyue Island. How could I dare to speak carelessly."
Xuan Ye said, "Father, although Giant Whale City has been annexed by our Xuanyue Island, and Xuanyue Island appears to be flourishing now, there is a huge hidden danger buried!"
Saying that, Xuan Ye pointed directly at Ling Fan and said, "He brazenly killed the Blackwater Martial Lord of the Three Kings Palace. This matter has already spread throughout the Eastern Lin Domain. When the Three Kings Palace learned of this, the other two Palace Lords were furious and issued a decree ordering us to capture the culprit who killed the Blackwater Martial Lord and hand him over to the Three Kings Palace for punishment, otherwise, they would flatten our Xuanyue Island along with this person!"
"Father, if the Three Kings Palace really pursues this matter, our Xuanyue Island cannot bear the responsibility!"
Mentioning the Three Kings Palace, Xuan Sheng's expression changed repeatedly, clearly showing extreme apprehension towards the Three Kings Palace.
Even though their Xuanyue Island's strength had greatly increased, they were still fragile and vulnerable in front of a supreme seven-star martial arts force like the Three Kings Palace, which was a hegemon in the Eastern Lin Domain.
However, handing Ling Fan over was also impossible.
Putting aside whether they could do it, even if they could, Ling Fan was their Xuanyue Island's benefactor. Xuan Sheng's conscience would not allow him to do such a disloyal thing.
Just as Xuan Sheng was racking his brain for a proper solution.
Ling Fan looked at Xuan Ye, leaned forward slightly, and immediately exerted an incomparably terrifying pressure on Xuan Ye, causing him to retreat two steps.
He said with a half-smile, "I am right here. If you want to use my life to appease the wrath of the Three Kings Palace, as long as you have the strength, you can just make a move on me. But don't blame me for not warning you in advance. Making a move on me makes you my enemy. Don't think that being the Island Master's son will be an exception. I have never shown mercy to my enemies. Killing you would be no more difficult than killing a stray dog."
Xuan Ye was so angered by Ling Fan's words that his head buzzed, and hot blood rushed to his face, making his skin burn!
He had thought that since he had become a Golden Core, Ling Fan would at least show him some respect. But he never expected this person to be so arrogant and completely disregard him, Xuan Ye.
Xuan Ye trembled all over with anger.
However, he dared not make any move.
Because he knew that Ling Fan, despite his seemingly calm demeanor, was as ruthless as lightning when killing people and would not hesitate because he was Xuan Sheng's son.
He could only swallow his pride and said with a gloomy face, "You... you contributed a little to the annihilation of Giant Whale City. This Young Master will not make a move on you, but you killed the Blackwater Martial Lord, which is a catastrophic mistake. Our Xuanyue Island cannot protect you either, so please leave Xuanyue Island quickly to avoid implicating us!"
Ling Fan merely sneered.
Toad, however, was furious and glared, "How can you say that! What do you mean by 'contributed a little' and 'implicating us'? Did Boss Ling only contribute a little? If our Boss Ling hadn't killed that Blackwater Martial Lord, you would have been buried long ago. Boss Ling shouldn't have saved you, especially you ungrateful wretch! Damn, it's truly disgusting!"
"Boss Ling was about to leave, but after what you said, Mo Ye doesn't want to leave anymore. We'll implicate you, let's see what you can do!"
Xuan Ye's face turned green and white from Toad's scolding, and he was thoroughly berated.
He glared resentfully at Toad and shamelessly said, "He himself wanted to deal with the Blackwater Martial Lord. We didn't ask him to. Therefore, this matter has nothing to do with our Xuanyue Island! The wrath and retaliation of the Three Kings Palace should naturally be borne by him alone."
"I advise you not to cling to Xuanyue Island shamelessly, otherwise, if we fall out, it won't look good for anyone!"
Xuan Ye said.
Toad puffed up its eyes and angrily said, "Damn it! We're clinging shamelessly, clinging to your dead mother's head. You've become a Golden Core and you're getting arrogant, aren't you? Come on, Mo Ye is still a quasi-Golden Core now, and I can still beat you so badly that your mother won't recognize you!"
Xuan Ye said coldly, "You toad, how dare you act presumptuously on our Xuanyue Island? Aren't you afraid you won't be able to leave Xuanyue Island!"
"Good for you! Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, ungrateful, turning your back on friends, you're truly something."
Toad was so angry it laughed.
"Guest Elder Ling, it's not that the Young Island Master is being unreasonable, but rather that we cannot afford to offend the Three Kings Palace, so we can only ask you to make a sacrifice for Xuanyue Island."
The other Xuanyue Island powerhouses persuaded him one after another.
Ling Fan looked at Xuan Sheng and said, "Island Master Xuan, you still have the final say on Xuanyue Island, right? I just need your stance."
Xuan Sheng gritted his teeth, glared fiercely at Xuan Ye, Li Mobing, and the others, and said decisively, "Xuanyue Island will share prosperity and adversity with Young Master Ling, and advance and retreat together!"
Xuan Ye's expression changed, and he said, "Father, you cannot do this!"
"Shut up! You've made me lose all face. If it weren't for Young Master Ling, Xuanyue Island would have been destroyed long ago. How can we be such ungrateful, pig-like, dog-like scoundrels? What about the Three Kings Palace? At worst, it's death!"
Xuan Sheng roared and slapped Xuan Ye fiercely across the face. Xuan Ye was stunned and looked at Xuan Sheng in disbelief.
Seeing Xuan Sheng's firm attitude, the other Xuanyue Island powerhouses dared not utter a word.
Ling Fan smiled faintly and said, "With Island Master Xuan's words, it is enough. From now on, on Xuanyue Island, I will only recognize you and your daughter. As for the others, they are irrelevant to me, and I will no longer concern myself with them."
"Toad, let's go."
Ling Fan strode away. Toad glared fiercely at these Xuanyue Island people, then followed Ling Fan out.
