Chapter 395: Chapter 395 Xiao Fan Emerges from Seclusion! (2nd Update)

"Can you tell me about your master?" Lin Xian’er asked with her bright eyes sparkling, clearly beginning to move past her grief. Although Ling Feng hadn’t comforted her gently, it seemed his approach was more effective than the usual platitudes.

"He is your father," Ling Feng said with a slight smile. "Actually, the time I knew Master was not very long, but every day he missed his wife, missed his daughter..."

Then, patiently, Ling Feng told her quite a few things about Duanmu Qingshan. Lin Xian’er had not grown up in the Wenxian Sect, so she knew nothing about the internal conflicts of the sect.

She didn’t even have a clue who Duanmu Qingshan was.

However, through Ling Feng’s narration, she finally got a general understanding of Duanmu Qingshan, and she even burst into laughter when she heard how he coaxed Ling Feng into becoming the Sect Leader.

"So, Duanmu Qingshan has left the Wenxian Sect to look for his daughter everywhere?" Lin Xian’er bit her lip as she asked.

"Yes, for you, Master really gave a lot," Ling Feng said with a slight smile. "If Master knew that I helped him find his daughter, he would definitely be very happy!"

"Oh..." Lin Xian’er bit her teeth, clearly still somewhat uncomfortable with this new identity.

Ling Feng could understand; after all, when he first found out that his grandfather was not Ling Kun, but Medical Saint Ling Hanyang, he had felt something similar.

"Then, should I call you Miss Xian’er or add ’Junior Sister Duanmu’?" Ling Feng said with a slight smile.

Since Lin Xian’er was Duanmu Qingshan’s daughter, she naturally became his junior sister.

"Just call me Xian’er," Lin Xian’er said, clenching her little fist. "At least, before I recognize him as my father, keep calling me Xian’er."

"That’s fine," Ling Feng nodded, understanding that completely letting go of one’s past was difficult. However, as long as Lin Xian’er could cheer up, that was enough.

"I believe when the time comes for you and your father to recognize each other, it will be a very joyful occasion!" Ling Feng gently patted Lin Xian’er’s shoulder and said, "Now that you are alright, let’s go back to Xuanwu Village together. I’m sure your Senior Sister Yun must be worried about you."

"Mhm." Lin Xian’er nodded, unconsciously grasping Ling Feng’s hand, "Ling Feng, thank you!"

"Friends should," he replied.

Ling Feng subtly pulled away Lin Xian’er’s hand and said with a faint smile, "Besides, now that you will be my junior sister, of course, I should treat you a bit better; otherwise, Master might give me an earful again!"

"Pfft!" Lin Xian’er couldn’t help but giggle, yet a hint of dejection crept into her heart.

Ling Feng was still avoiding her...

But there was plenty of time ahead, and she believed that one day, sooner or later, Ling Feng would understand her feelings. He definitely would!

Lin Xian’er bit her teeth, silently telling herself.

...

Ling Feng, taking Lin Xian’er with him, left the Five Elements Heavenly Palace and headed towards Xuanwu Village at a rapid pace.

"Speaking of which," when Lin Xian’er discovered that the palace she had just been in was actually one of Ling Feng’s treasures, she was truly shocked.

Only then did she realize that the black donkey Ling Feng had summoned before actually resided within this Five Elements Heavenly Palace.

Half a day later, Ling Feng and Lin Xian’er returned to Xuanwu Village. Seeing Lin Xian’er restored to her former vitality, Mrs. Jiang and Jingjing were both extremely happy.

It wasn’t long before Goo Tengfeng and Yun Yiyi came back to Xuanwu Village from Beiliang County. Although they returned without success, seeing Lin Xian’er already recovered naturally put them at ease, especially Yun Yiyi who almost burst into tears of excitement as she hugged Lin Xian’er.

The second day after everyone returned to Xuanwu Village, Jiang Xiaofan finally emerged from seclusion, walking out of Xuanwu Cave.

Having fully refined the Xuanwu Treasure Blood, his entire bearing seemed to have completely transformed, exuding a terrifying aura as if he were a human-shaped fierce beast.

Of course, this was only because he had just merged with the Xuanwu Treasure Blood. Once he fully integrated the treasure blood, he would reach a state where he could effortlessly control it, returning to his original state.

"Big brother!"

As soon as Jiang Xiaofan came out, he immediately knelt and kowtowed three times to Ling Feng.

During the process of refining the Xuanwu Treasure Blood, he had realized just how precious it was and felt profound gratitude towards Ling Feng.

It could be said that without Ling Feng, there would be no Jiang Xiaofan today!

"Good boy!"

Ling Feng helped Jiang Xiaofan up and punched him in the chest—a punch so firm it felt like hitting an iron plate, and Ling Feng’s fist tingled slightly from the impact.

Given his current defensive strength, without using the Heavenly Punishment Sword Technique, he would probably find it difficult to defeat him in a head-on confrontation.

Having the Divine Beast Treasure Blood was indeed powerful. Even though the Eight Desolate Body Forging Technique he practiced was of a high grade and the cultivation method was domineering and swift, it still couldn’t compare to "cheating" with the direct use of Divine Beast Treasure Blood.

When Jiang Xiaofan learned that Ling Feng and the others had already dealt with Lin Canglang, while he felt some regret for not being able to personally take revenge, he was at least comforted that his father and the villagers of Xuanwu Village could rest in peace.

The group stayed in Xuanwu Village for three more days. On one hand, Jiang Xiaofan spent quality time with his mother and sister, and on the other, with the presence of these powerful martial artists, the progress of rebuilding their home also sped up significantly.

Despite the fact that more than half of the villagers had been killed or wounded, leaving less than fifty survivors, they were unwilling to abandon their homeland and chose to continue to flourish here.

After all, their roots were here.

Three days later, Xuanwu Village was finally reestablished. The ruined ruins had been replaced with brand new wooden houses and bamboo houses, and Goo Tengfeng even helped to set up several Defensive Magic Arrays around the village. He also taught the villagers how to activate the arrays. With these defenses in place, ordinary martial artists and demons would have a hard time causing any harm to Xuanwu Village.

Time flew by, and the day of departure finally arrived. Jiang Xiaofan bid a heartfelt farewell to the villagers, while Ling Feng and his companions had become the great benefactors in the villagers’ hearts. If it weren’t for Ling Feng and the others arriving at Xuanwu Village in time, their entire village would probably have fallen prey to the Ghost-faced Demon Lord, not to mention being able to live and work in peace now.

Jingjing, the little girl, even shared half of her favorite scallion pancakes with Ling Feng. She still remembered the first time she met Ling Feng when she bit him hard. This was her way of making amends to him.

"Ha ha," Ling Feng laughed as he patted Jingjing’s little head, casually slipping a thick stack of silver notes into her pocket. These silver notes were of no use to him anymore, but they could greatly improve the lives of these simple villagers.

Given Jiang Xiaofan’s current potential, it might not be long before he could completely change the fate of Xuanwu Village.

Of course, that’s a story for another time...
