Chapter 636: Chapter 636: A Woman’s Belonging

"Lin Fan, remember to miss me!"

In the extended RV, Li Qiqi, with tears in her eyes, lay sprawled against the window.

As she waved continuously, she cried with utter desolation.

"Boss, just be at ease. As long as I breathe, I’ll absolutely ensure that Carrot Head and his family remain worry-free."

After Luo Jiuying finished speaking, he also jumped onto the off-road vehicle.

Following Lin Fan’s orders, he would take his son and several disciples to escort them down south.

On the road, with the Martial Alliance’s clout, they could act with impunity.

Until everything quieted down, only Lin Fan and Zhao Jiaqi were left at the gate.

"Now that Qi Qi has left, I suddenly crave her cooking. I have no idea when I’ll be able to taste her food again."

Zhao Jiaqi let out a long sigh.

The once lively courtyard suddenly fell silent.

The departure of one familiar person after another gave her a sense of loss.

"As long as we survive, there will be opportunities. But I always feel something’s not right."

Lin Fan took a deep breath, looking towards the pitch dark Medicine King House.

"What’s not right?"

Zhao Jiaqi asked in confusion.

"Recently, some people have been too quiet. The Gong Family, having suffered a setback, hasn’t shown a sign until now. And that Fairy Xifeng, after being disciplined by the Heavenly Master, has been too well-behaved. That’s not like her."

Lin Fan rubbed his chin, suddenly recalling that woman.

"Maybe they’re truly scared. After all, the Heavenly Master has made a move; what can Fairy Xifeng do? Besides, wasn’t it said that once she was separated from the Black Blood Tripod, she would age and die? Maybe she’s already dead. As for the Gong Family, without someone backing them, how could they dare oppose you? That would be suicide."

Zhao Jiaqi seemed unconcerned.

"I’m afraid it’s not that simple. It’s said that when we were heading to the Heavenly Pit, Shangguan Min Yue was attacked by Master Miejue. That venomous old woman even wanted to kill Meng Yao along with her. Fortunately, Linglong’s master, the South Sea Divine Nun, intervened, saving them and inflicting heavy injuries on Master Miejue. But I think these people won’t give up so easily. They aren’t the type to throw in the towel until they see their own coffin, especially since the Gong Family’s son died by my hand," Lin Fan said, startling Zhao Jiaqi.

"Are you saying the South Sea Divine Nun has taken Yang Linglong as her disciple? How could that be? Isn’t it said that she prefers solitude, her strength among the top in the ranks of females, the only woman in the top ten of the Divine List, with even the Wushan Ancestor deferring to her three points? How influential must Yang Linglong be to have such a powerful master as a mentor? That’s incredible!"

"Some things, to some people, are not that significant. To have a personality from the Divine List accept a disciple surely involves the Heavenly Master’s influence, plus Yang Linglong must be material worth crafting. That’s why the rules were bent for her. But now there’s an issue. Yang Linglong is Meng Yao’s best friend, and now she has the chance to step onto the martial path. She even asked me to find a place for Meng Yao. What did she mean by that?"

Lin Fan had been pondering over Yang Linglong’s words these past few days.

What did she imply by "a place"?

After all, although they didn’t have a wedding, they’d registered their marriage quite a while ago.

"A woman’s ’place’ can either be marriage or having children. Don’t tell me you’re planning on finding her a master as well? Don’t forget, after the Jiazi Project, I’ll be returning to Beijing to assume my duties, and Xu Zhi Rou will return under Prince Zhen Nan’s command. Then, you’ll be left alone. Are you planning to stay a bachelor?"

Zhao Jiaqi said with a mischievous smile.

She and Xu Zhi Rou did not belong to Jiangning, so naturally, they could not stay long.

Once the conflict ended, only Meng Yao would be left to accompany him.

If she were to leave too, then Lin Fan would truly be alone.

"Children!"

Lin Fan rubbed his chin; he was now settled with his own family.

The matter of children was indeed something that could be arranged.

"Alright, stop thinking about children. Hurry up and sort out the alternative for the Wind Stabilizing Pearl. My grandfather and everyone else are waiting for your plan," Zhao Jiaqi interrupted his train of thought.

Now that the Wind Stabilizing Pearl was destroyed, the situation had become urgent.

Everyone’s hopes were pinned on Lin Fan.

"Alright, I’m on my way to deal with this little problem now,"

Lin Fan was naturally confident in his ability.

But just as the two had just gotten into the car, Zhao Jiaqi’s phone rang.

"What... disappeared!"

Zhao Jiaqi’s face changed as she answered the call.

She then looked towards Lin Fan, who was driving.

"I just received a report. At dusk, the convoy was attacked by an Onmyoji, but with Emperor Li Guandi in town, the attacker didn’t succeed, and Su Delong was successfully escorted onto the express train bound for Beijing. However... this guy suddenly vanished into thin air!"

"I knew it; he must have had a way to escape. Sure enough, the little bugger has fled."

Lin Fan gripped the steering wheel, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

After all, having a high-IQ opponent was indeed a delightful choice.

"You can still laugh about it? After investigating the site, we found traces similar to European black magic. This guy is actually linked to those people. They teleported him away using a special formation, and by now, he’s probably already out of the country."

Zhao Jiaqi clenched her fists.

Frustrated, she hung up the phone.

European black magic has always been a formidable adversary.

Unexpectedly, they had managed to interfere in our Project Jiazi as well.

"So what if he’s gone abroad? Don’t forget, that’s Langya’s battlefield. I’ll make him regret not staying put in prison."

Lin Fan laughed as he stepped on the accelerator.

The car sped towards the Ning Family.

In the bizarrely illuminated city, people under the brilliant lights were unaware that a disaster was soon to come.

Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of the alley.

Seeing Lin Fan get out of the car, Zhao Jiaqi hurriedly called out, "I’ll leave this side to you then. I need to rush back to Longya to continue investigating whether there is deeper involvement by European forces here."

"Don’t worry. Tell the Dragon Emperor that by tomorrow morning, I will deliver the contingency plan to the designated spot. This time, I will not fail,"

Lin Fan, without turning his head, walked towards Ning Mansion.

Crossing the alley and once again standing in front of Ning Mansion, with its Suzhou garden style, he felt as though he was back to the first time he came here.

Reflecting on their first fortuitous encounter, he realized that more than half a year had passed, giving rise to a feeling of change.

Ascending the steps, he pushed open the gate.

Turning right, he entered East Cross Court.

He saw that the study’s light was still on.

Ning Mengyao was sitting at the desk, tapping away at the computer.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

The door was knocked, and Ning Mengyao finally turned her head.

The moment she saw it was Lin Fan, she instinctively shut the computer.

"You... how did you come back!"

Ning Mengyao seemed a bit panicked, as if she had done something guilty.

Lin Fan also saw the computer and the search bar that she had been hastily using.

She was secretly searching for information about Martial Artists.

"I think it’s time we had a good talk,"
