"Brother Xu, really? Will you really come to see me?"

Much to Xu Fan's surprise, when Song Ling'er heard Xu Fan's words, she lifted her head with a look of delight and her eyes sparkled like stars.

In an instant, Xu Fan understood Song Ling'er's feelings.

While everyone's dream destination is the Saintly Pill Divine Valley, it's not the place Song Ling'er actually longs for. In fact, if given a choice, Song Ling'er might rather stay by her grandfather's side and lead a simple life.

However, in this world, is there really any "what if" or "if only"?

Song Ling'er's only relative, her grandfather, has passed away. Based on Song Ling'er's deduction, it's very likely that a certain Elder of the Pill Divine Valley committed the act! Yet Song Ling'er has no other choice but to join the Pill Divine Valley and reveal her talents.

Even though Song Ling'er has never mentioned it to Xu Fan, Xu Fan clearly feels Song Ling'er's firm resolve!

Song Ling'er has never given up on avenging her grandfather!

But this is not a simple task, as her opponent is a highly esteemed Elder of the Pill Divine Valley, while Song Ling'er is just a girl without any background. Even though Song Ling'er's talent is amazingly remarkable, this path is destined to be exceedingly difficult!

Now, hearing that Xu Fan is willing to take the time to visit her at Pill Divine Valley, Song Ling'er is naturally overjoyed.

After all, besides Xu Fan, there is no other person who can be considered family to Song Ling'er in this world.

"Silly girl, when have I ever not kept my word to you?"

"After I finish what I absolutely must do, I will surely come to Pill Divine Valley to see Ling'er!"

Xu Fan looked seriously at Song Ling'er in front of him, his expression unprecedentedly resolute.

Xu Fan made this promise not only because Song Ling'er was like a sister to him; when Xu Fan was in crisis, Song Ling'er risked her life to save him, and such grace leaves Xu Fan indebted.

In fact, Xu Fan also already regards Song Ling'er as family.

Song Ling'er was willing to die for Xu Fan, so how could Xu Fan possibly leave Song Ling'er behind?

When Song Ling'er stood resolutely before Xu Fan during the grand competition, Xu Fan made a silent promise in his heart—to avenge Song Ling'er!

Currently, Xu Fan's strength, though strong, is still far from sufficient to assist Song Ling'er in her revenge!

But in the future, Xu Fan may yet stir the true colossus that is the Pill Divine Valley!

"Brother Xu... Thank you!"

"So, it's settled, I'll be waiting for Brother Xu at Pill Divine Valley."

Before Xu Fan, Song Ling'er looked at Xu Fan's unprecedented solemnity, the corners of her eyes shimmering, yet on her small face bloomed an emotionally moving smile.

Xu Fan rubbed Song Ling'er's small head and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Bang!

Just as Xu Fan and Song Ling'er were immersed in this infinite warmth before parting, a sudden knocking sound rang out, followed by an arrogant voice.

"Who's Xu Fan? Get out here!"

The voice carried a distinct and unique arrogance, as if a noble had to descend into the mud to seek out a lowly beggar; that kind of angry disdain was already on full display.

Upon hearing this voice, both Xu Fan and Song Ling'er furrowed their brows quietly.

At this base, after Xu Fan's performance in the grand competition, no one should dare speak to Xu Fan this way, and outsiders, Xu Fan hasn't offended.

Thus, the identity of the visitor was almost obvious!

"Brother Xu..."

Song Ling'er was about to say something but was interrupted by Xu Fan's raised hand.

"Let me handle this."

These few words carried a kind of magical energy that calmed the previously panicked Song Ling'er, who now stood obediently behind Xu Fan.

No matter the identity of the visitor, since they came to cause trouble for him, naturally Xu Fan wouldn't have Song Ling'er intervene.

Moreover, Xu Fan had already guessed the visitor's identity and quickly formulated a plan.

"Anyone in there!? Are you dead!? Hurry up and come out!?"

Within mere seconds, the visitor grew extremely impatient.

"Heh."

Xu Fan's lips curved into a slight sneer, his expression calm, as he unhurriedly walked towards the door.

Opening the door, he saw a young man with a proud demeanor standing there. Xu Fan's eyes were filled with calmness.

The young man was dressed in luxurious clothing; his complexion was slightly pale, his gaze unsteady, yet now, sharp light burst forth from his eyes, his thin lips pursed into a disdainful sneer.

Evidently, the visitor meant no good!

"Are you Xu Fan?"

Before Xu Fan could speak, the young man in luxurious clothing spoke first, his eyes scanning Xu Fan up and down as if examining him.

"Heh, I am Xu Fan. Who might you be? What brings you to seek Xu?"

Xu Fan seemed not to notice the young man's hostile gaze, his face remained calmly serene, his casual tone like greeting an old friend, very amiable.

The young man's sharp eyes narrowed slightly, emitting a burst of fierce light.

"You aren't qualified to know my name. As for why I'm in this rundown place, of course, there's something I need you to do."

The young man's voice was proud, speaking these pretentious words with a natural cadence.

If this scene were witnessed by the people inside the base, it would surely surprise them greatly.

In this base, who dares speak this way to Xu Fan? Who dares ask Xu Fan to do something on their behalf?

And during the grand competition, Xu Fan slaughtered Asura and Vajra Zhiwei like crushing ants beneath his feet; when has he ever been so easy-going?

At this moment, Xu Fan's face remains as serene and amiable as ever, as if nothing could provoke him to anger. He casually asked the arrogant young man in luxurious clothing, "Heh, may I ask what you want me to do?"

Seeing Xu Fan's amiable demeanor, the young man's disdainful expression became even more pronounced. Looking down at Xu Fan, he coldly spat out two words.

"Kneel down."

Once those two words were said, time seemed frozen, the air grew arid, and both the young man and Xu Fan remained silent as they faced one another.

"How dare this bumpkin confront me! Doesn't know his place!"

The young man inwardly scoffed, just about to act, when Xu Fan unexpectedly laughed, and what Xu Fan said left the young man utterly bewildered.

"Is it just kneeling down so simply? Should I add a few slaps?"
