Persuasion

"Who?" A chilling shout echoed in the empty hall, Fan Lao's sinister face looked extremely terrifying.

A figure in cyan suddenly flashed in from outside the main hall; it was Han Feng, who had rushed back from the Heavenly Snake Mansion.

The moment Fan Lao saw Han Feng, his cold eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a hoarse, hissing voice, "So it's City Lord Han. What, you've also come to my Blood Sect to see us make a fool of ourselves?"

Han Feng smiled faintly and said, "What jokes does the Blood Sect have to offer?"

Fan Lao looked at Han Feng and said, "Who doesn't know that my son died at that auction in Black Seal City? Now, the other forces in the Black Corner Region probably want to see my Blood Sect make a fool of itself by having no successor, right?"

Han Feng sat down on a chair in the main hall and looked at Fan Lao, who was sitting at the head of the table, and said, "Sect Leader Fan, didn't you already receive the news that your son, Fan Ling, died at the hands of the Jia Nan Academy?"

"So what if he is?" Fan Lao retorted angrily when Han Feng mentioned his son again.

"Although Jia Nan Academy is a taboo existence in the Black Corner Region, it is not invincible. Sect Leader Fan, don't you want to avenge your son?" Han Feng said slowly.

Fan Lao's eyes flashed with overwhelming hatred as he said, "Of course I want to, but even if my Blood Sect mobilized its entire strength, we are no match for the Jia Nan Academy. Don't you understand that?"

Han Feng chuckled, "Your Blood Sect is like a mayfly trying to shake a tree when facing Jia Nan Academy, but what if we add the other forces in the Black Corner Region?"

Han Feng stood up and continued, "What kind of place is the Black Corner Region? This is our paradise, a paradise for outlaws. Here, the strong are respected, and the absence of rules is the main theme of the Black Corner Region!"

"Jia Nan Academy has always been an exception in the Black Corner Region, so it needs to disappear. This is what all the powerful figures in the Black Corner Region want to see, isn't it?" Han Feng said, a hint of madness appearing in his eyes.

It seemed that in his eyes, Jia Nan Academy, which had stood in the Black Corner Region for countless years, was something he could destroy with a flick of his wrist!

Fan Lao is no fool. As the leader of the Blood Sect and commander of Twilight City, Fan Lao is well aware of the strength of the Jia Nan Academy!

Fan Lao scoffed, "Anyone can spout such nonsense. It's just that you lack the strength to back it up; it's laughable. If you're trying to persuade me to go to the Jia Nan Academy to my death with you, then City Lord Han, you'd better do it!"

Han Feng was not surprised by Fan Lao's reaction at all, and simply said, "Although Jia Nan Academy is strong, it also has weaknesses. It is difficult to break the rules from the outside, but powerful individuals always begin to crumble from within!"

"Sect Leader Fan, there's no need to be so determined to refuse me. If Jia Nan Academy falls into crisis in the future, I will come back to ask Sect Leader Fan to avenge the murder of your son. What do you say?" Han Feng said calmly.

Upon hearing Han Feng's words, Fan Lao pondered for a Fan Lao and said, "Alright, if Jia Nan Academy ever falls into crisis in the future, I'll accompany City Lord Han on that journey, what's wrong with that?"

Fan Lao's eyes flashed with a blood-red killing intent as he coldly said, "If I could, I would tear a piece of flesh from the Jia Nan Academy!"

Han Feng nodded slightly and said, "Alright, then Sect Leader Fan, please wait for my news!"

After saying that, Han Feng walked outside, and soon his figure disappeared from the main hall.

Fan Lao looked outside the main hall with an uncertain expression, then summoned disciples from the Blood Sect and increased manpower to closely monitor all movements of the Jia Nan Academy.

Within the Black Corner Region, there are many forces that want Jia Nan Academy to disappear. Besides the Blood Sect and the Earth Flame Sect, the Eight Fan Sect are also among those who hate Jia Nan Academy!

The next day.

After a quick wash, Xiao Yu opened the door and headed towards Cai Die's room. Little Xiao Nian would take turns staying in Xun'er, Xiao Yu, Hu Jia, Cai Die, and Zi Yan's rooms, and today she happened to be staying in Cai Die's room.

Knock knock knock!

A knock sounded, followed by a soft creak. The door opened, revealing not a gentle, beautiful face, but a cold and aloof one.

A chilling aura rushed towards Xiao Yu, causing Xiao Yu to shiver instantly.

"Cai Lin?" Xiao Yu called out tentatively.

Cai Lin glanced coldly at Xiao Yu, then reached out her delicate hand and pulled the sleepy-eyed Little Xiao Nian over, saying, "This is your child, take care of him yourself!"

Little Xiao Nian was pulled out of the room by Cai Lin before she even knew what was happening, and then Cai Lin slammed the door shut.

Little Xiao Nian and Xiao Yu stared at each other outside the door. Little Xiao Nian pouted and said, "Daddy, did you make Aunt Cai Die angry? Aunt Cai Die used to be so gentle and kind!"

Xiao Yu's face darkened as he said, "That's not your Aunt Cai Die, that's Aunt Cai Lin!"

Click!

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a crack appeared in the door, and a murderous intent emanated from inside the room.

Xiao Yu's expression changed, and he cursed under his breath, "Damn it!"

Xiao Yu picked up the still somewhat dazed Little Xiao Nian and ran downstairs.

Inside the room, Cai Lin was icy cold, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes. She bit her lip lightly and said, "Aunt Cai Lin? Xiao Yu, you're really courting death!"

After calming himself down in the living room, Xiao Yu started eating breakfast, completely forgetting that the tiger girl's one-month deadline had already passed.

Soon, they also came down from upstairs one after another. When Cai Lin came down the stairs, she gave Xiao Yu a cold look.

The others didn't notice anything amiss, except that Xun'er glanced at the Cai Die a couple of times.

After breakfast, Xiao Yu let Little Xiao Nian play in the house with Little Purple, while he went to the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower with Xun'er and the others.

Little Xiao Nian stood in the living room, looking at the alluring yet aloof Cai Die, pouting slightly, and slowly moved closer to Cai Lin.

"Aunt Cai Die, why are you ignoring me?" Little Xiao Nian's childish voice rang out, and Cai Lin's gaze turned to Little Xiao Nian.

Looking into Little Xiao Nian's innocent eyes, Cai Lin's icy gaze softened somewhat. Although her voice remained cold, her tone softened as she said, "I'm not your Aunt Cai Die!"

"Then who are you?" Little Xiao Nian asked, her eyes wide.

Cai Lin frowned slightly, and after a moment's thought, said, "Just call me Aunt Cai Lin!"

Little Xiao Nian smiled and called out in a clear voice, "Aunt Cai Lin!"

"Mmm!" Cai Lin responded almost unconsciously.

Xiao Yu, who had already arrived outside the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower, naturally did not expect that Little Xiao Nian had already dealt with Cai Lin in such a short time!

Looking at the endless stream of people in front of the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower, Xiao Yu closed his eyes slightly and sensed the aura of the Fallen Heart Flame inside the tower. It was indeed more volatile than before!

"Let's go inside first!" Xiao Yu said.

Everyone nodded and headed into the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower. The Pan Men's influence in the Inner Academy was growing, so their group attracted the attention of others.
