Su Fan was slightly taken aback.
Had Qi Ling's identity been exposed? m..oΓg
"Your Majesty, the Qi family was framed. The military camp where Qi Ling is stationed is the Vanguard Camp. Previously, the Qi family's descendants were all brothers in the Vanguard Camp. Your Majesty should already know what the Vanguard Camp is like. It is absolutely impossible for the Qi family to have committed the crime of embezzling military funds. I implore Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly!"
Su Fan hurriedly explained to Xiao Yuan, unsure if he would believe him.
"I will investigate this matter myself. As for your friend Qi Ling, she will be temporarily detained,"
Xiao Yuan snorted coldly, showing no intention of releasing Qi Ling.
Su Fan's heart sank.
It seemed saving Qi Ling would not be simple.
[Ding! Mission complete, obtained 250000 experience, 200 reputation, 10 Attribute Pills, 2 Martial Essence Stones.]
Su Fan's mission was completed at this moment, earning him a large experience reward.
"Xiao Yan, please keep an eye on Qi Ling for me."
Su Fan requested from Xiao Yan after leaving the imperial study.
"Don't worry, as long as it's not a death sentence, I won't let her suffer."
Xiao Yan patted Su Fan's shoulder and said.
With Xiao Yan's assurance, Su Fan was completely relieved.
"The Crown Prince from just now, was that Xiao Yan?"
Li Qiusheng only dared to ask Su Fan after they had left the imperial palace.
He had noticed Xiao Yan in the imperial study earlier but didn't dare to speak in such a setting.
"Yes."
Su Fan nodded slightly.
"Holy crap! Xiao Yan is the Crown Prince!"
Although Li Qiusheng had been mentally prepared, he was still quite shocked upon learning the truth.
"That's why you should be glad you didn't offend Xiao Yan back then."
Su Fan said with a light smile.
Li Qiusheng had clashed with them before, and he had escaped, thus avoiding disaster.
"I won't waste any more time with you. I'm leaving."
Su Fan had no time to chat with Li Qiusheng.
Su Fan arrived at the location outside the south city where the fire meteor had fallen.
The area was in ruins. A large pit marked where the meteorite had struck, and the surrounding ground was scorched black, turning into a barren wasteland.
However, the meteorite was gone. The meteorite was summoned by Su Fan using a skill, and it naturally disappeared after the skill ended.
In the center of the pit was an object emitting a blue light.
This was what Su Fan had come for – the equipment dropped by the level 50 boss!
Su Fan braved the scorching air and walked down.
He picked up the blue glowing object.
Spirit Gathering Ring (Blue)
Accessory: Bracelet
Level: 50
Unidentified
Su Fan's face lit up with joy. It was indeed level 50 equipment, an unidentified accessory.
There were still three strange individuals in this world, all of whom were evil and widely reviled. Su Fan wondered if he could kill them all. Wouldn't that mean he could obtain at least four pieces of equipment before reaching level 50?
However, there was no rush. Su Fan was still far from level 50, only level 45.
Returning home, Su Fan resumed his cultivation in reality.
But the Zuo mansion was in chaos.
The son of Commander Zuo was accused of kidnapping a princess and sentenced to death. Commander Zuo was also dismissed and investigated.
Within a day, multiple crimes were found against Commander Zuo, and his offense of breaking the law while enforcing it was compounded.
Zuo Junyi was executed. Commander Zuo, considering his advanced age and many years of service, was merely allowed to retire.
Commander Zuo knew he was powerless and could only accept his fate.
Retiring offered a glimmer of hope; any further resistance might cost him his head!
After a few days of rest, Commander Zuo, along with his assets, returned to his hometown.
However, on the road, he encountered a group of bandits. His wealth was plundered, and Commander Zuo died in a foreign land.
...
In reality.
Somewhere in Myanmar.
You was recalling his natal witch蛊虫.
He had sent his natal witch蛊虫 into China, where it had devoured many Chinese martial arts experts. After recalling it and integrating its power, his strength would increase significantly.
A golden beetle appeared in You's hand.
You's sharp-mouthed, monkey-faced visage emerged from his black robe. He opened his fanged mouth and swallowed the golden beetle in one gulp.
After swallowing the golden beetle, You's entire body trembled as if electrocuted. His skin split open, his muscles bulged outward, and muscle fibers writhed like worms all over his body.
Then, his muscles turned from red to gold, as if his entire body was covered in golden armor.
"Hahahaha! Golden Armor Sorcerer! I've done it!"
You let out a wild laugh, appearing utterly deranged.
He had finally reached the legendary realm of sorcerers, the Golden Armor Sorcerer. Su Fan, you wait to pay for my junior brother's life!
You's face contorted with ferocity as he gazed northward, deeming it time for revenge.
Su Fan was unaware that his old adversary was now targeting him.
He was still at his villa, enjoying a cup of tea and a moment of peace.
His current strength was not something that could be rushed. The calming tea had some effect, but it required long-term consumption. Su Fan needed a stroke of luck to break through in a short period.
"Su Fan! I've broken through again!"
Su Yutong ran onto the balcony, excitedly showing off to Su Fan.
"I know, I know. Can you stop showing off?"
Su Fan was speechless. How could people be so infuriatingly different?
Su Fan mused that, at Su Yutong's current pace, she would enter the Kaiyang Realm after this breakthrough.
Good heavens, her cultivation speed was almost catching up to Su Fan's.
If he didn't improve himself, he would soon be on par with Su Yutong.
"Su Fan, Aunt called and asked me to tell you that Xiao Bai's food is running out and to send some more back."
Su Yutong told Su Fan.
Ever since Su Fan had sent Xiao Bai back to his hometown for his parents to raise and protect them, Su Fan's parents had realized that Su Fan's current occupation was no ordinary one.
What normal person kept a panda? And it ate iron? A true iron-eating beast!
"Um, no, why would my mom call you?"
Su Fan nodded, suddenly realizing a problem. Where did Su Yutong get his mother's phone number?
"I got it last time I visited your place."
Su Yutong playfully shook her phone and said.
Fine.
Subsequently, Su Fan drove a few tons of rare metals and headed for his hometown.
Su Yutong accompanied him.
The monster truck attracted considerable attention along the way, especially on the highway, where they encountered a young man driving a sports car.
"Brother, nice car. How much did it cost to modify?"
The young man rolled down his window. A busty beauty sat in the passenger seat.
The other party seemed unfamiliar with Su Fan's monster truck, but it looked imposing, so he approached to inquire.
Su Fan ignored him and accelerated past the other car.
"Hey! I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me? What's with the attitude in a modified car? Believe me, I can get your car impounded with a single phone call!"
Seeing that Su Fan was ignoring him, the young man became displeased and started spouting threats.
"Name your price, I'll buy it! Poor bum!"
The young man said disdainfully to Su Fan.
Su Fan rolled down his window and extended his left hand, giving the other party the international gesture of friendship.
"Idiot!"
