Shangguan Tong looked at Xiao Fan's back and suddenly stopped in her tracks. She asked in a daze, "Who are you?"
"You and your father only need to take care of yourselves for today's matter. Leave everything to me!" Xiao Fan stopped in his tracks. He did not turn around and did not answer Shangguan Tong's question. Instead, he said calmly, "Of course, the trouble and pressure that this matter has caused you will be compensated by a thousand times in the future. You don't have to hold a grudge against me!"
"I won't!" Shangguan Tong shook her head.
"That's good!" Xiao Fan nodded and did not say anything else. He continued to walk forward. After a few steps, he opened his mouth again and said without turning his head, "As for me, I have already told you that my name is Xiao Fan!"
With that, Xiao Fan's figure did not stay any longer. He walked further and further away and finally disappeared from Shangguan Tong's sight.
As for Shangguan Tong, she was still standing in a daze. She was somewhat at a loss and at a loss. However, she finally regained her clarity of mind in the end. Her expression was complicated as she looked in the direction that Xiao Fan had left. She was silent for a long time before she turned around and left.
.....
Red Rock City East, Sun Family!
"Father!" Sun Zhengwei knelt there with difficulty. His body was trembling as he spoke with a trace of fear in his voice.
The burly middle-aged man sitting in front of him did not speak. He did not even open his eyes. His fingers gently tapped on the armrest as he frowned. He seemed to be thinking about something.
Sun Zhengwei did not dare to speak anymore. He lowered his head and knelt there, not daring to move at all.
The entire room was filled with a terrifying silence.
After an unknown amount of time.
Sun Zhengwei's father, the burly middle-aged man, finally opened his eyes. When he opened his eyes, he gave off the feeling of an unsheathed sword that suddenly revealed its sharpness. It sent chills down one's spine.
"I will not stand up for you for this matter. You have to settle it yourself!" Sun Zhengxiong said indifferently.
"Father, I …" Sun Zhengwei raised his head and looked at Sun Zhengxiong in confusion.
"Not only will I not do anything, but the entire Sun family will not do anything either!" Sun Zhengxiong ignored Sun Zhengwei's confusion. Instead, he continued to speak indifferently.
"Yes, father!" Sun Zhengwei looked at the indifferent Sun Zhengxiong and didn't dare to ask anything. He could only lower his head and smile bitterly.
"You are the second young master of the Sun family and my son!" Sun Zhengxiong indifferently lowered his head and finally looked at Sun Zhengwei. His voice was filled with coldness as he said, "To be slapped in the face like this. Although it's not only your face that's lost, but also my, Sun Zhengxiong's, and the entire Sun family's face! "
"But this place. You have to find it yourself! "
"Because, the second young master of the Sun family, a famous young talent in Red Rock City, after being slapped in the face, he could only cower at the back like a baby? They could only go home and call their parents after losing, just like a five or six-year-old child? Don't you have any sense of responsibility? "
"If I stand up for you, if the Sun family stands up for you, it will only make people laugh coldly. So this is the strength of the next generation of the Sun family? And this is even more humiliating than Xiao Fan breaking your arm and leg in front of everyone, and the consequences will be more severe! "
"So, I won't do anything, and neither will the Sun family. You have to use your own strength to get back the face you lost at the Moon Reflecting Pavilion. Then, you have to prove your worth, your ability, and your ability to those who are prepared to laugh at you! "
"Being slapped in the face isn't scary, what's scary is not being able to get it back after being slapped in the face. Do you understand? "
"I understand. I understand! " Hearing Sun Zhengxiong's words, Sun Zhengwei instantly reacted. Then, he raised his head and looked at his father, Sun Zhengxiong, and nodded vigorously.
"Very good!" Sun Zhengxiong looked indifferently at his son, Sun Zhengwei, and said again, "Since you understand, then do it. Use your brain, use all the resources at your disposal, and do it with all your heart!"
"As for the consequences, as long as you don't burn down the entire Red Rock City, I will make the decision for you!"
"Yes, father!" Sun Zhengwei suddenly became excited. He licked his lips and his eyes flashed with a hint of savagery as he said in a low voice.
"Also, this is the Nine Lives Pill and Jade Muscle Liquid. It can heal your broken arm and leg in the shortest time possible!" Sun Zhengxiong closed his eyes again and said indifferently. "Take it!"
Just as he finished speaking, Sun Zhengxiong raised his hand and a small dark red box suddenly appeared from the darkness behind him and landed steadily in front of Sun Zhengwei.
"Thank you, father, for the medicine!" Sun Zhengwei's eyes lit up and immediately put away the small dark red box in front of him. He knelt down again and said with force.
The Nine Lives Pill and Jade Muscle Liquid were both rare pills and extremely expensive. The entire Sun family didn't have many of them. Although his father was a little cold, he was actually very attentive to him.
But then again, his father was one of the upper echelons of the Sun family and was also a strong competitor for the next patriarch of the Sun family. He only had one son, so it was natural for him to treat him better.
"Father, I'm going!"
Sun Zhengwei crawled up from the ground with difficulty and bowed to Sun Zhengxiong again before saying in a low voice.
"Go!" Sun Zhengxiong didn't open his eyes and said indifferently, "Finally, remember, for this matter, no matter how cruel, inferior, or despicable your methods are, it doesn't matter. The key is that you have to prove yourself!"
"Don't worry about others criticizing you behind your back because those are the words of the weak. The strong only see your results and don't care about your process at all!"
"In the world of cultivation, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Don't talk about morality. That's the pleading of the weak to the strong. If you want to reach my level one day, then do as I say, understand?"
"Understood!" Sun Zhengwei lowered his head and said.
"Alright, this is the last time I'm going to preach to you. In the future, I won't say anything else. Everything will depend on your own comprehension. If you can comprehend it, then you will suffer less physical pain. If you can't comprehend it, then you deserve to be beaten to death!" Sun Zhengxiong's voice was very cold. "I'm in the prime of my life and it's not difficult for me to have a few more sons. So, you better not disappoint me again. Otherwise, I don't mind personally getting rid of a useless son like you who will only ruin my plans and then groom my successor!"
Hearing Sun Zhengxiong's cold and heartless words, the trace of warmth that rose in Sun Zhengwei's heart instantly disappeared. His eyes were filled with fear as he stuttered.
Sun Zhengxiong didn't say anything else. His entire person was silent in the darkness, while Sun Zhengwei's body was constantly trembling. He pursed his lips, and his face was filled with hysterical ferocity and ruthlessness as he struggled to walk out.
.....
West of Red Rock City, City Lord's Mansion!
"This … this is what happened!" Shangguan Tong whispered to the elegant middle-aged man in front of her, her father, Shangguan Chen.
"Xiao Fan?" Shangguan Chen immediately frowned and muttered to himself in a low voice.
"Yes!" Shangguan Tong nodded and smiled bitterly. "I've already sent people to the other cities near Red Rock City to inquire. Although not all of the information has returned, some of them have. For the time being, no one recognizes this Xiao Fan!"
"You said that when you met him, he was riding a Black Dragon Horse?" Shangguan Chen asked thoughtfully.
"Yes!" Shangguan Tong nodded. "This Black Dragon Horse is in my hands for the time being. I've also checked and there are no traces of fighting or capture on it. So, it should have been raised and sold when it was young. Then, Xiao Fan bought it!"
Shangguan Xiong didn't say anything, but his frown deepened!
He understood that his daughter Shangguan Tong's thoughts were correct. Normally, when a human cultivator wanted to subdue a demonic beast, they would encounter fierce resistance. They would more or less leave various injuries on the demonic beast's body. Although these injuries would completely disappear in the end, it would usually take a long time. Since his daughter said that the Black Dragon Horse that Xiao Fan was riding didn't have any injuries, then it was naturally raised since it was young. Therefore, there were no obvious injuries.
Of course, this wasn't absolute because there was another situation that could achieve this.
That was absolute suppression of strength. One could easily capture a demon beast and naturally not leave any injuries on the demon beast.
However, the strength of a demon beast was generally much stronger than a human cultivator of the same level. This Black Dragon Horse's combat strength was equivalent to the Nirvana Second Cycle. In addition, its speed was extremely fast. If it wanted to escape, even a Nirvana Third Cycle cultivator wouldn't be able to catch up with it. If one wanted to subdue it, one had to be at least at the Nirvana Fourth Cycle or even at the Nirvana Fifth Cycle.
If one wanted to suppress it with absolute strength and easily capture this Black Dragon Horse without any injuries, the strength required would be even more terrifying. It was estimated that one had to be at the Nirvana Sixth Cycle, or even the Nirvana Seventh Cycle or even the Nirvana Eighth Cycle.
However, Shangguan Tong had probed Xiao Fan countless times. She was very clear that Xiao Fan was only at the Nirvana First Cycle and his aura was chaotic. It was obvious that he had severe internal injuries. It was impossible for him to be at the Nirvana Seventh Cycle or the Nirvana Eighth Cycle.
Shangguan Chen fell into deep silence. He understood that the only clue that could reveal Xiao Fan's true identity had been completely cut off. Xiao Fan seemed to have appeared out of thin air. He was full of mystery and power. It was impossible for anyone to understand him.
As for the incident where Xiao Fan instantly killed Sun Zhengwei and Chen Deguang in the Moon Reflecting Pavilion, it might prove that Xiao Fan's strength wasn't as simple as it seemed. However, not only did it not help in investigating Xiao Fan, it also added to the mystery surrounding Xiao Fan.
Who exactly was he? Or rather, who was he in the past? Why was he injured? Where did he come from? Where did he go? What was his purpose in coming to Red Rock City?
No one could answer all these questions. (Not yet)
