"Okay, I won't dwell on this anymore," Ren Fang nodded and said.

She asked that because she was worried that Fanxin was too traditional. If he only wanted a boy and not a girl, things would get complicated.

Now, she can rest assured, because Fanxin has given her a promise.

"Okay, get some rest. Our baby will be born in a little over two months. What you need to do now is rest more and take good care of your body," Fanxin comforted her.

He didn't want anything to happen to Ren Fang and the child, because they were both very important to him.

"Okay, I understand. You go ahead and do your work, I'll take care of myself," Ren Fang nodded and said.

Without further hesitation, Fanxin Xin immediately got up and went outside.

Then he called Qiangwei over and said, "Ren Fang will be in your care for the time being, is that alright?"

"No problem. Although I've never taken care of a pregnant woman before, I've read quite a few books, so it should be fine," Qiangwei said.

She lived longer than anyone else and knew more than others. Therefore, she believed she was fine.

"Okay, then go now." Fanxin nodded and said, "While you're at it, pack your things; we're leaving in ten days."

Upon hearing this, Qiangwei nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.

"Oh, by the way, is your Soul Clone ready? If not, you'd better hurry. We're leaving; we still need your protection here," Fanxin said.

Qiangwei's abilities are strong, but she needs to make arrangements and preparations in advance, which is somewhat troublesome. Here, however, her preparations have already been completed. She can act at any time.

If any foreign enemy invades this area, they will enter her battle zone.

At that point, she could manipulate them at will.

They've left. If Qiangwei leaves a Soul Clone here, she can control the battlefield and assist everyone in the fight.

Although their Soul Clone cannot move freely in the sunlight like their Soul Clan members.

However, in that special place on the ninth level of Wolf Valley, souls can exist indefinitely.

As long as they are not attacked, there will be absolutely no problem.

He left behind a Soul Clone for each of them, essentially creating a Heavenly Soul Pirates. Although their clones couldn't unleash the same power as their original selves, they still possessed considerable fighting strength.

With four Soul Clan experts and two senior figures comparable to Admiral guarding the area, this place is absolutely impregnable.

"Understood, I'll get it done as soon as possible, so it won't delay our departure," Qiangwei said.

"Alright, if that's the case, then that's great. You need to hurry." Hearing this, Fanxin nodded and replied.

After that, he said no more and immediately left the third level, heading to the second level of Wolf Valley.

Upon reaching the second floor, he planned to visit Grandpa Nick and Senior Li Kecheng. He wanted to inform them of his departure time so they could be prepared.

However, as soon as he went inside, he realized something was very wrong.

Because he saw that Grandpa Nick and Senior Li Kecheng were fighting, and the two sides were locked in a fierce battle.

Fanxin was a little confused and immediately went to Chen Yuning's side, asking, "What's wrong with them? Why are they fighting?"

These two are very strong; if they were to fight, the impact would be significant.

"Sigh, they're evenly matched in chess, and neither of them is convinced of their skill level. So they decided to have a match to see who's the best. I tried to dissuade them many times, but they ended up kicking me out of the game," Chen Yuning said helplessly.

"I see. Then they must know their limits," Fanxin said upon hearing this.

If their fight is driven by anger and discord, then he should intervene. Because in that case, they might act recklessly without regard for the consequences.

By then, they would both likely be injured or killed in battle.

This was not what he wanted to see, because these two meant a great deal to him. He absolutely could not allow them to die here like this.

However, he's not worried now. Because they're just sparring, they won't fight to the death.

"Big brother, who do you think will win between them?" Chen Yuning asked, sitting down next to Fanxin.

"I don't know. They're all very strong, and each has their own unique strengths. I really can't say," Fanxin said with a wry smile.

Senior Li Kecheng is very strong, his Taijutsu are superb. Grandpa Nick's abilities are also very strong, you'll probably have to put in a lot of effort to kill him.

They are both strong in their own way, and it will probably be difficult to determine a winner in a short period of time.

However, Fanxin believed that regardless of who won or lost, their strength should not be underestimated.

"Hmm, I can't tell either. After watching this far, I still don't know who's injured and who's not," Chen Yuning said.

"Hehe, getting them hurt will be a bit difficult," Fan Fanxin said with a smile.

Both of them can use Haki now, their bodies covered in Haki, making them as tough as steel. Trying to break through their defenses is no easy feat.

He has fought against Grandpa Nick and Senior Li Kecheng, and it will be very difficult for him to defeat them.

These two are evenly matched, so the outcome of their fight against him would likely be quite similar.

"Yes, that makes sense," Chen Yuning nodded and said.

"Well, Yuning, besides looking for the two seniors, I have something else to ask you. You have to answer me honestly, okay?" Fanxin pondered for a moment and then said.

"Okay, go ahead and ask, what's wrong?" Chen Yuning nodded and asked.

"We'll be leaving in ten days. Are you going to come with us to sea, or stay here with your two grandfathers?" Fanxin asked.

Chen Yuning is very capable, but her weakness is also obvious: she cannot protect herself when using her abilities.

He had actually decided to keep the child, because Wolf Valley would be located there from now on, and if something happened, he wouldn't be able to provide timely rescue.

However, he still respected Chen Yuning's choice. If she chose to leave, he would definitely take her with him. If she decided to stay, he would naturally agree.

"Don't rush into your decision. Take your time thinking about it. You can tell us on the day you leave," Fanxin said.

Upon hearing Chen Yuning nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.

"Alright, let's continue watching the challenge." Fanxin held Chen Yuning and watched the battle.

On the battlefield, the two fought fiercely, locked in a close battle.

Senior Li Kecheng was extremely domineering. He summoned his Haki, which covered his entire body, making him look like a Black Man.

Not only that, his fist had turned red, exuding a powerful, domineering Haki.

Once his Haki changes color, it means that his power has reached a new level.

Although Senior Li Kecheng rarely fights these days, he has been diligently cultivating his skills.

Therefore, although he looks much older, his strength has only grown stronger.

Now, if a master were to come and attack this place, Senior Li Kecheng could handle it all by himself.

However, while Li Kecheng is impressive, Grandpa Nick is no slouch either.

He was also completely black, clearly having summoned his Haki aura and covered himself with it.

At the same time, his body had become very strange, covered entirely in sharp spikes, making him look like a hedgehog. As a result, no matter how Senior Li Kecheng attacked, he would suffer some losses.

The reason he could do this was because his body was made of clay. He could manipulate the clay at will, arranging it according to his wishes.

"Hehe, Nick, your strength is indeed impressive. It will take me quite a bit of effort to take you down," Senior Li Kecheng chuckled and said.

"Yours is the same. I've been attacking you for so long, but I still can't take you down. It seems Fanxin was right; your strength is extraordinary." Grandpa Nick laughed and said.

"However, I will absolutely not admit that I am inferior to you. Because I have not lost this battle yet."

"Hmph, me too. I absolutely won't admit it until I've lost the battle. In that respect, I'm the same as you." Li Kecheng nodded in response.

"Alright, enough talk, let's continue the fight. There's still some hostility left." Senior Li Kecheng said, and immediately took action.

He charged straight at Grandpa Nick, and once he reached him, he swung his fist and punched Grandpa Nick.

Grandpa Nick watched without hesitation and immediately retaliated.

Soon, their fists collided, and a huge shockwave swept outwards.

Both Fanxin and Chen Yuning were affected.

Immediately afterwards, Fanxin and Chen Yuning left the area and went to a more distant place. If they got too close, they would be easily injured.

Grandpa Nick and Senior Li Kecheng looked at each other, neither willing to give in.

A few minutes later, the two separated.

Then they fought again, seemingly determined to fight until a victor emerged.

An hour later, both of them were exhausted and covered in sweat, so they stopped. However, they still couldn't determine a winner.

"Maybe next time," Senior Li Kecheng said helplessly.

Although he was very unwilling, he was also somewhat exhausted from such an intense battle. Therefore, he decided to spar with Grandpa Nick again next time.

"Alright. Next time it is." Grandpa Nick was actually quite tired himself, and he couldn't keep fighting.

Therefore, he had no choice but to agree to Li Kecheng's request. If he hadn't agreed, he would have been the one to suffer in the end, because he was just putting on a brave face.

Afterwards, the two helped each other back to where they had been playing chess.

Seeing that the battle was over, Fanxin and Chen Yuning immediately got up and headed in that direction.

"You two have certainly put on a good show for me," Fanxin said with a smile.

"Hehe, kid, we'd like to spar with you again next time we have the chance," Senior Li Kecheng said with a smile.

He's a battle maniac; even though he's old, he still enjoys sparring with others.

Previously, only Fanxin could play chess with him, but Fanxin was busy and couldn't be here often. So, he could only enjoy playing chess.

However, this time, Grandpa Nick came, and the two shared common interests. Therefore, he felt that his life would become more and more interesting in the future.

"I'm not your equal," Fanxin Xin immediately retorted.

Although his strength was comparable to Grandpa Nick's, he was unwilling to come here to suffer losses and hardships.

Because they weren't enemies, they wouldn't fight to the death, and he couldn't eliminate Senior Li Kecheng anyway.

So in the end, he worked himself to the bone and got nothing in return.

That's why he didn't want to come here to suffer.

"You brat, can't you play with me for a bit?" Senior Li Kecheng said with displeasure.

"Hehe, never mind. From now on, you can let Grandpa Nick play with you. I won't get involved," Fanxin said, shaking her head.

"Since that's the case, then so be it." Senior Li Kecheng was too lazy to dwell on the matter. He looked at Fanxin and asked, "Oh, by the way, what brings you here, kid?"

Fanxin usually doesn't come to the temple without a reason, so he must have something to ask him this time. He was certain of it.

"Yes, that's right," Fanxin said affirmatively.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Grandpa Nick asked impatiently.

"Well, I wanted to tell you that I will be leaving here in ten days. I'll leave the safety of this place to you two. As for management, my Soul Clone here will take care of everything," Fanxin said.

"Oh, this? Okay, you can do whatever you want with it," Grandpa Nick nodded and said.

He wasn't worried about safety here at all. He was powerful enough to protect the place perfectly well.

Anyone who tries to cause trouble here will definitely pay the price.

"Alright, now that you two know, I won't bother you any longer. I usually don't contact you; my clone will handle everything. However, in crucial moments, I'll need your help to keep things under control," Fanxin nodded and said.

His clone wasn't very powerful anymore, so when a strong person came to cause trouble here, he ended up suffering a loss.

However, if these two lend a hand, then he won't worry. Both of them are as strong as Admiral, and with two Admiral guarding this place, what fool would dare to cause trouble here?

"Okay, go ahead and get busy." Senior Li Kecheng nodded and said.

Fanxin nodded, and then without further hesitation, he took Chen Yuning and left to play outside.

Once outside, he went to inspect the house's renovations. Soon, residents would be moving in. If the house wasn't done properly, the newcomers would certainly not want to settle there.
