Jiang Fan stopped and turned to look at him.

"Come on, tell me, how does a blind man see?"

"Hehe, don't take it too seriously, that's pretty much the gist of it."

"If it's not Senior Huang Ying, it's a girl from your previous team. She seems to care about you a lot, and she looks at you with such infatuation every time she sees you. Sigh, being handsome has its advantages; you're never short of girls around."

Seeing that the fat man was about to continue nagging, Jiang Fan quickly headed towards the bathroom.

Achoo!

"Huh?" The fat man looked at Jiang Fan again.

"He sneezed again, twice. So it wasn't someone thinking of you, but someone cursing you. It must be that treacherous Li Zhichao. You made him lose face so badly this time, he's probably plotting something against you now. Brother Fan, you must be extra careful and watchful to prevent him from tripping you up in secret."

Jiang Fan said nonchalantly, "As long as he's not afraid of death, let him come."

His completely unfazed demeanor, as if a storm was brewing, instantly made the fat man feel incredibly handsome.

"Alright, Xinyu, stop fooling around."

Lan Shengxue looked at Lan Mingxi again, "I must enter the Dragon Abyss Secret Realm. I've made up my mind."

Lan Mingxi knew her eldest granddaughter's personality; once she made up her mind about something, she would definitely do it, no matter how difficult the path she chose or how arduous the future might be. She would not turn back until she hit a wall.

No, it means that even if you hit a brick wall, you should keep hitting it until you reach the bottom.

Even if it means getting hurt.

"Great!" Lan Mingxi looked at her eldest granddaughter with pride.

"As expected of a member of the Lan Family! As expected of my granddaughter Lan Mingxi! You have great courage! Since you're so eager to enter the Dragon Abyss Secret Realm, then go ahead."

"Thank you, Grandpa."

After Lan Shengxue finished speaking, she turned and left.

Upon seeing this, Lan Mingxi quickly called out to stop her.

"What? Why are you in such a hurry? Are you going now?"

"Yes, time waits for no one."

"There's no need to rush. At least have dinner and a night's rest; we can go tomorrow."

"I went."

Lan Shengxue said no more and quickly left the hall.

"Sigh..." Lan Mingxi sighed deeply. For Lan Shengxue, who was so ambitious, she didn't know whether to feel more gratified or worried.

"Someone come here."

As the voice faded, two experts from the Lan Family entered from outside.

"Master, what are your orders?"

" Little Shengxue is going into the Dragon Abyss Secret Realm tonight. You all follow her in quietly and protect her. Remember, whatever you do, don't let her find out, or it will affect her cultivation."

If Lan Shengxue knew that someone was secretly protecting her, she would inevitably develop a dependence on them.

"Yes, Master."

"Leave now." Lan Mingxi waved her hand.

At this moment, Lan Xinyu hugged his arm and shook it, her butterfly-like eyelashes fluttering twice. She pouted her pink lips and said in a coquettish tone:

"Grandpa, I also want to start cultivating as soon as possible."

Although Lan Xinyu is still very young, you can tell from her current appearance that she will definitely grow up to be a rare and stunning beauty like Lan Shengxue.

"Why has Little Xinyu suddenly become so diligent?"

Lan Mingxi looked at her little granddaughter with affection, just as she had with Lan Shengxue before, feeling extremely gratified.

The children of the Old Lan family are more outstanding than those of other families, and they are also more ambitious.

Look at Little Xinyu! She's so young, and she already knows she needs to work hard.

That's what the old man thought, but Lan Xinyu's next words almost made his beard stand on end in anger.

"Because Brother Fan is so outstanding, if I were to marry him in the future, I would need to have the strength to be on par with him, or at least be qualified to stand behind him, otherwise I would feel that I am not good enough for him."

Her words were soft and gentle, yet they were things that could infuriate someone to death.

Jiang Fan, it's Jiang Fan again! What's so great about this Jiang Fan? He just has a little bit of talent, right? Why are his two children so concerned about him?

Lan Mingxi's chest heaved up and down, and his mustache trembled uncontrollably from the twitching of his lips.

He'll remember this kid. If he ever dares to come to their house again, they'll kick him out immediately!

The scene then shifts again.

As soon as Yan Tianyang arrived at Ye Qizhen's door, he felt the sudden surge of energy emanating from inside the room.

This is the kind of noise only Martial Artist would make when breaking through to the next level!

Ye Qizhen has finally advanced to the Martial Artist.

"Very nice."

Yan Tianyang pushed open the door and went inside.

Ye Qizhen was sitting cross-legged on the bed, got up, cupped her hands in greeting, and looked very respectful.

" Yan Shuai, what brings you here?"

Yan Tianyang sat down in the chair quite naturally.

"You've always spent most of your time improving your Psychic Power and rarely cultivated your qi and blood. Is your determination to break through to the Martial Artist level this time because of Jiang Fan?"

Mentioning Jiang Fan, Ye Qizhen couldn't help but think of the time she was being chased at Fortress No. 31.

Yan Tianyang had told Ye Qizhen about Jiang Fan being the Crazy Old Man's apprentice the moment he found out.

If it weren't for Jiang Fan's sudden appearance that time, he would probably have turned to ashes by now.

It was precisely because he saw that Jiang Fan, as Spirit Master, possessed close-combat fighting ability superior to that of Martial Artist of the same level that he was deeply stimulated.

"Speaking of which, Jiang Fan is a year younger than me. We're both Spirit Master, but he's already Late-Stage First Rank Martial Artist. I can't stay a Late-Stage Martial Apprentice forever, can I? It's embarrassing to be compared like that. So I can't be too far behind."

He is currently Early-Stage First-Rank Martial Artist, while Jiang Fan Late-Stage First Rank. Although there is still a gap, it is only a small difference in realms, which is alright.

Just as Ye Qizhen was thinking this, Yan Tianyang spoke again.

" Jiang Fan now at the Middle-Stage Second Rank."

One sentence almost made Ye Qizhen's jaw drop.

" Yan Shuai, you're not kidding me, are you?"

Instead of answering, Yan Tianyang asked, "So you think I came all this way to see you just to make this joke?"

Ye Qizhen knew very well that as the commander of the Divine Wind Camp, he was extremely busy and naturally wouldn't have the time to joke with someone who had just been promoted to Martial Artist.

Thinking of this, Ye Qizhen gave a bitter smile.

"Just what kind of freak is this Jiang Fan? No wonder the legendary Master Li made an exception and accepted him as a disciple; he certainly deserves it."

To be honest, they were both chosen ones, and Ye Qizhen was a little bit resentful about Master Li taking Jiang Fan as his disciple.

Now he truly admires him from the bottom of his heart!

The next second, Ye Qizhen clenched her fists, her eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit.

" Yan Shuai, please go ahead, I need to continue my cultivation."

Yan Tianyang did not leave; in fact, he came here precisely to remind Ye Qizhen.

"You are Spirit Master; you shouldn't focus too much on improving your Qi and blood. That would be putting the cart before the horse."

"Isn't Jiang Fan also Spirit Master? He—" Ye Qizhen was interrupted by Yan Tianyang before she could finish speaking.

"You're different from him, don't compare yourself to him."
