"Do you believe me now?"
Su Fan asked the figure in the flames.
He could have lowered the temperature of the flames further, otherwise Long Jianye would have been reduced to ashes by now.
"I believe it, put out the fire quickly!"
Long Jianye felt that if he waited any longer, he would be roasted into a suckling pig.
Su Fan waved his right hand gently, and the flames on Long Jianye's body immediately extinguished.
After emerging from the flames, Long Jianye gasped for breath, still feeling a sense of lingering fear.
"I didn't lie to you. You can either go back and confirm it yourself, or continue to pester me and leave your life here. The choice is yours,"
Su Fan said to Long Jianye.
Long Jianye's eyes flickered, and he naturally knew how to choose.
"I will go back and confirm. If it's not as you say, I will bring more experts to seek revenge,"
Knowing he was no match for Su Fan, Long Jianye directly made a threat and turned to leave.
Su Fan suddenly felt a sense of peace. The high-intensity battles of the past few days had left him feeling somewhat weary.
"You two handle the matters of the Martial Alliance. I have something else to attend to and will be leaving now."
Su Fan bid farewell to Dongfang Tingyin and the other, flying back home.
He spent a day in tender affection with Su Yutong at home and had dinner with his family.
That evening, Su Fan lay in bed, preparing to fall asleep and enter the game world.
Not long after lying down, Su Fan fell asleep.
In his dream, Su Fan felt himself transported to a pitch-black place. When he opened his eyes again, it was already the next morning.
"Mmm~"
Su Fan stretched lazily.
"What a pleasant aroma, I haven't slept this comfortably in a long time,"
Su Fan said sincerely.
However, Su Fan soon froze.
As he came to his senses, Su Fan realized he hadn't entered the game world.
"What's going on?"
Su Fan was puzzled. Why hadn't he entered the game?
Su Fan felt a sense of unease. He sat down cross-legged again, entering sleep through meditation.
But when he opened his eyes again, he was still in reality, not in the game.
"This is... what's happening?"
Su Fan was stunned. He couldn't enter the game?
He then remembered that Su Fan could open his backpack and check the items within.
With a thought, the backpack interface appeared before Su Fan.
His equipment hadn't changed, nor had his inventory. Only his weapon had changed; it was now the Staff of Destiny, and the character animation on it showed movement.
To the left of the equipment slots was a cartoon character, used for previewing costume effects. It would normally react to the character's movements.
At this moment, the cartoon character was walking.
But Su Fan hadn't entered the game. Who was controlling his character within the game?
Su Fan felt a hint of terror.
This made him sense a crisis.
The only way for Su Fan to uncover the truth was to enter the game again.
*Ring ring!*
Su Fan's phone rang at that moment.
Su Fan took out his phone and saw the name of a roast duck restaurant displayed on it.
Su Fan immediately knew who it was.
"Hello?"
Su Fan pressed the answer button.
"Su Fan, do you have time?"
Liu Yong on the other end didn't waste words and immediately asked if Su Fan was available.
"Yes, what is it?"
Su Fan asked Liu Yong.
Su Fan was very curious about Liu Yong and their role as Guardians, but since he hadn't joined them, they were unwilling to tell him what their responsibilities were. Thus, Su Fan could only fret.
"Come to the capital, there are some matters we need to discuss with you."
Liu Yong said to Su Fan.
Su Fan looked at the phone that had been hung up in a hurry and felt speechless. He hadn't even agreed yet, and you hung up.
However, considering that Su Fan didn't have much to do at the moment, he decided to go to the capital.
Su Fan took flight and headed directly towards the capital.
After some time, Su Fan's figure appeared above the capital.
He found a secluded spot to land and then took a car to the roast duck restaurant.
The roast duck restaurant was as popular as ever, with not a single empty seat.
However, Su Fan didn't see Liu Yong at the front desk, so he assumed he was in the kitchen.
"Please tell your boss that Su Fan has arrived."
Su Fan said to the person at the front desk.
The person at the front desk was busy calculating accounts and felt annoyed at being interrupted.
"Go find him yourself, don't disturb me!"
The person at the front desk said to Su Fan without looking up.
Su Fan was helpless, but he had indeed interrupted their work, so it was understandable.
"Help me find a seat, I want to eat."
Su Fan changed his approach and said to the person.
Only then did the person look up.
"Xiao Li, attend to the guest!"
The person at the front desk shouted loudly to a waiter inside.
Soon, a young man rushed to Su Fan's side.
"This way, please."
Xiao Li respectfully led the way, guiding Su Fan to an empty seat.
"What would you like to eat?"
Xiao Li handed Su Fan the menu and asked.
"One roast duck, and please call your boss over. I have something to discuss with him."
Su Fan said to the waiter.
Xiao Li was a bit surprised but didn't think much of it. Whether the boss would see him or not was not his concern.
Xiao Li went to the kitchen, posted the menu at the order pickup window, and then shouted to Liu Yong inside, "Boss, someone outside wants to see you."
Liu Yong was slicing duck in the kitchen. Upon hearing Xiao Li, he didn't turn his head.
"One moment!"
The restaurant staff all knew that Liu Yong disliked being disturbed while working. No matter how important the matter, it had to wait until he finished his current task.
Xiao Li immediately fell silent. He had already delivered the message.
Soon, Liu Yong finished slicing the roast duck. Carrying the duck, Liu Yong personally brought it to Su Fan.
He had known of Su Fan's arrival the moment he arrived. Heavenly realm martial artists had a keen sense for experts.
"Speak, what is it?"
Su Fan asked Liu Yong calmly.
Liu Yong wouldn't have sought him out without reason. Something must have happened.
"The prophecy is about to arrive. We can no longer stand idly by."
Liu Yong said something that Su Fan didn't understand with a solemn expression.
"What prophecy?"
Su Fan frowned and pressed for details.
"Do you remember Xing Dao?"
Liu Yong asked Su Fan.
Su Fan naturally remembered Xing Dao. He had met him once before; he was the short one among the three Guardians.
"I remember."
Su Fan nodded.
"Besides being a Heavenly realm martial artist, Xing Dao is also a psychic. His ability is precognition; he has visions of things that will happen in the future."
Liu Yong explained to Su Fan.
Su Fan was somewhat surprised but could accept it. He had encountered a member of the Psychic Alliance before who had some precognitive abilities. While such abilities were rare, they weren't nonexistent.
"So, he foresaw a major event about to happen?"
Su Fan could only guess, otherwise, why would Liu Yong mention this?
Liu Yong nodded slightly.
"The reason we formed the Guardians is also because of Xing Dao's prophetic dreams. In his prophetic dreams, China will be invaded by foreign races. These foreign races will enter China through a certain portal and launch a war, causing widespread devastation."
This time, Liu Yong did not hide anything from Su Fan and revealed the secret of the Guardians.
