"Don't rush that. There's something very important I need you to do." The woman's expression turned slightly serious as she said this.

The fat man also discerned something from the voice, and his attitude immediately became more respectful.

"Grand Ancestor, just say the word! Whatever you ask me to do, I'll go through fire and water for you!"

These confident words brought a smile to the woman's face.

This is why women are so fond of Little Fatty —simply because they're sweet-talking.

Therefore, it is clear that women, regardless of age, love sweet words. Even though a smart woman knows that the other person is deliberately flattering her, she is still delighted to hear them.

"I learned through special channels that Zhou Lingxing, that old bastard, has been targeted by the Church of Justice. It's because he once obtained a Spirit Weapon from that person. The Church of Justice will stop at nothing to seize the Spirit Weapon, so they've opened up a secret realm to the public, placing the Spirit Weapon inside, for the capable to obtain."

Without the woman explicitly naming "that person," the fat man knew she was referring to the once-powerful Holy Lord of the Church of Justice.

At the same time, he also understood the woman's unspoken meaning.

"You want me to go in so you can take advantage of the chaos and steal the Spirit Weapon?"

The woman nodded in satisfaction. As expected of the Little Fatty she had raised since he was a child, he truly understood her intentions.

"That's right. As you know, the Zhou Family Cultivation Secret Realm only allows Martial Artist below the Fourth Rank to enter. Although you are only Late-Stage First-Rank Martial Artist, with Xiao Gang protecting you, you still have a great chance of obtaining Spirit Weapon."

The fat man stroked his chin and fell into thought.

Based on his understanding of his ancestor, although Spirit Weapon were indeed rare, they shouldn't have warranted such attention from his ancestor, who would have personally given him instructions.

Therefore, it's safe to assume there's more to this than meets the eye.

Thinking of this, the fat man tentatively asked the question.

" Spirit Weapon shouldn't be the main point, right?"

The woman laughed heartily, "My Xiao Sanjin is so clever! Yes, the Spirit Weapon isn't the point. The point is—"

At this point, her smile vanished instantly, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and a dark, unfathomable glint appeared in them.

"I heard that the Church of Justice suddenly has a Holy Son who also wants to enter the Zhou Family Cultivation Secret Realm. Most importantly, I also heard that the Church of Justice claims that the Holy Son is the reincarnation of that person."

shock!

One sentence stirred up a huge wave!

The fat man instinctively opened his mouth wide and raised his voice.

"You mean—that holy son—he—he is the reincarnation of that—that Holy Lord of the Church of Justice!"

"I'm not sure, that's why I asked you to go there in person," the woman said.

The fat man swallowed hard, clearly quite taken aback by the sudden news.

"But, but that person died—cough cough, disappeared—before I was even born. I've never seen him in person, so I have no way of confirming it."

At this point, the fat man suddenly remembered that he had actually seen that person's photo.

In the ancestor's boudoir, the walls were covered with photos of that person.

To be honest, he had never seen a man or woman more stunningly beautiful than that person in his entire life.

Even his ancestor, with his ethereal beauty, paled in comparison to that man.

"Even if I've seen his photo, people are reincarnated, so their appearances are bound to be different. How can I be sure that the other person is actually that person?"

"Don't worry, someone will help you confirm it later."

The fat man looked puzzled. "Who is it?"

The woman smiled, a hint of cunning in her eyes.

You'll find out then.

Why can't you just tell him now? Why all the secrecy?

The fat man thought this to himself, but of course he would never dare to say it aloud.

The scene changes.

Jiang Fan hailed a taxi as soon as he exited the station.

"Hello, where are you going?" the driver asked.

Yunlu Bay.

Upon hearing this, the driver paused slightly, subconsciously glancing at Jiang Fan sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

"You look quite young. What kind of work do you do there?"

Yunlu Bay is one of the top-tier luxury villa communities in their Fortress No. 1; it's not a place where just anyone can afford to buy a house.

The young man was dressed casually and couldn't possibly be a resident there, so in his opinion, Jiang Fan was very likely working in Yunlu Bay.

Jiang Fan shook his head, "I live inside."

"The homeowner?" the driver asked, disbelieving.

"Um."

The driver pursed his lips and said nothing more, clearly not believing it.

Throughout the journey, the driver secretly observed Jiang Fan and noticed that he kept looking out the window. To an experienced driver, it was obvious that this was Jiang Fan's first time in such a place.

This further confirms that Jiang Fan was lying, and it's even less likely that he works at Yunlu Bay. After all, as a resident of Yunlu Bay, how could he be visiting Fortress No. 1 for the first time?

If he wasn't mistaken, he had heard how luxurious Yunlu Bay, so his first visit to Fortress No. 1 was simply to take a look at the outside.

As for why not inside, isn't that obvious? Such a high-end villa area—do you think just anyone can walk in?

Anyway, he's been driving for over thirty years and has never had the chance to go inside.

"Young man, I've figured it out. You're not a homeowner in Yunlu Bay at all. You just want to see one of the top villa areas in Fortress No. 1 and broaden your horizons, right?"

Jiang Fan isn't stupid; on the contrary, he's very smart.

So he realized the driver thought he was showing off, but he didn't bother to pay any attention.

He is currently busy using his Psychic Power to cover his surroundings in order to familiarize himself with Fortress No. 1 as soon as possible.

Jiang Fan remained silent, which, in the eyes of the experienced driver, meant that his lie had been exposed, so he had no choice but to keep quiet.

After driving for more than half an hour, the taxi finally stopped at its destination.

"We're here. This is Yunlu Bay. Isn't it luxurious? Just looking at it from the roadside, you can imagine how extravagant it is inside. Let me tell you, I heard that pair of stone lions at the entrance cost over ten million yuan. And those green plants, they're said to have been brought back from the Outer Wilderness Zone. Have you ever seen anything like them before? And also—"

Just as the driver was getting into the middle of his enthusiastic speech, Jiang Fan interrupted him.

"How much?"

The driver frowned, "65."

"Payment is complete."

After paying, Jiang Fan got out of the car decisively, went to the trunk, opened it, pulled out his suitcase, and walked towards the gate of Yunlu Bay.

The driver didn't drive away; instead, he watched with great interest.

To be precise, he was waiting for Jiang Fan to return, because in his opinion, the other party was just showing off and would soon take a taxi to go wherever he wanted.

Jiang Fan had no idea what the driver was thinking, and didn't care at all. He continued dragging his suitcase to the front gate.

The security guard immediately stepped forward to stop them, saying, "Sorry, you can't just go in without a key card."
