Super War God in the City-Chapter 529: Return Home
Ling Fan remained silent for a moment, took the note, got out of bed, and walked into the living room, just in time to see a groggy Tang Caiyan walking out of the room across.
The girl also had a tough night and hadn't rested as well as Ling Fan.
"Did you see Yao Yue?" Ling Fan asked Tang Caiyan hurriedly upon seeing her.
Tang Caiyan was startled by Ling Fan's sudden appearance, and memories of last night unconsciously came to her mind. She blushed.
She immediately shook her head and said, "No, I just got up, too!"
Ling Fan took a deep breath and sat on the sofa without saying a word.
Noticing that Ling Fan was upset, Tang Caiyan quickly collected herself and asked, "Young Master Ling, is Sister Yao Yue missing?"
After she asked this question, she felt a bit weird herself. They had been so intense last night—could they have had a fight?
"It's nothing. She left a message. There was an urgent matter she needed to handle, and she didn't have time to say goodbye when she left!" Ling Fan murmured faintly, not telling Tang Caiyan the truth. He couldn't speak carelessly about Yao Yue's affairs.
"Oh!" Tang Caiyan responded, and didn't ask any further questions.
Ling Fan was deep in thought. He understood Yao Yue's feelings and good intentions. Although the note only had a few brief words of farewell, he knew that Yao Yue had kept the danger with herself.

She didn't want to go to Zhongnan Academy or bring danger to Xiao Chubing and Yun Fei. If those ninjas knew Yao Yue was at Zhongnan Academy, they would definitely dare to sneak into the academy and cause trouble.
Sorrow solved nothing. Ling Fan instantly gathered his composure and said, "I'm going upstairs to check on An Xixue and An Xiyao!"
"Okay, I'll go prepare some food!" Tang Caiyan nodded.
"Bird's nest soup, shark fin, and turtle soup okay?"
Ling Fan was stunned, "....."
All these seemed to be nourishing tonics, didn't they?
Tang Caiyan was thoughtful enough to consider that Official Ling had depleted a lot of energy last night. How could he not replenish it!
"Cough... uh, no need, I'm a martial artist; I don't need to eat. Just prepare some food for yourself," Ling Fan said a bit awkwardly.
He probably understood. The noise last night must have been overheard by her. Last night was indeed a bit wild—so loud!
Tang Caiyan watched as Ling Fan went to the second floor, and then she finally realized. It was no wonder that Young Master Ling had such stamina. Martial artists truly are powerful!
Ling Fan went to An Xixue and An Xiyao's room and briefly explained Yao Yue's situation, glossing over the most secretive details.
"When will master return?" An Xixue asked eagerly as she lay on the bed.
An Xiyao also lay on another single bed, now sharing a room, which felt less isolated. They were both very attached to Yao Yue.
Ling Fan was silent for a moment. "Your master will return after she has dealt with her matters. Once I have made sure you're settled, I will go and help her as soon as possible. Don't worry!"
"Oh, we're fine, Young Master Ling. Don't worry about us. If master needs help, just go and assist her!" An Xiyao said as she repeatedly nodded from her bed.
Ling Fan conducted a brief check on the two sisters and comforted them a few words before leaving the room.
Seeing Tang Caiyan still sitting on the sofa without moving, he immediately instructed, "Do me a favor, send someone to Nine Dragons Mountain to inform Yong Xinghua to come here!"
Tang Caiyan, lost in her thoughts, quickly nodded upon hearing Ling Fan's command. "Oh, I'll arrange it right away!"
....
At this moment, Secretary Song had already returned to Wolong Garden, briefing the old master on the situation.
Upon hearing the briefing, the old master bared his teeth in frustration, giving Secretary Song, who kept his head down in silence, a displeased look.
"I say, you've been with me for more than a day or two, so how come you still fell for that young fellow's scheme? You shouldn't have gone to tell him about it directly in the end. Damn it, do I owe him a favor?" the old master ranted, his eyebrows furrowed and his whiskers blowing.
Secretary Song, standing aside and dripping with cold sweat, felt very ashamed. The affair had indeed been a bit embarrassing, a spectacular failure that would make him lose face if it got out!
"Enough, enough. That young man probably did it on purpose. When he comes, I will have a talk with him!" the old master huffed and entered the thatched cottage.
Secretary Song wasn't too fond of Official Ling either, murmuring in his heart, "You jerk, you really screwed me over. Next time I must regain my face!"
Xiangjiang, Tang Family Villa.
After receiving Ling Fan's order, Yong Xinghua hurried over.
"Young Master Ling, may I know what you need me for?" Yong Xinghua approached Ling Fan, respectfully asking.
Ling Fan called out, "You're here, there's something I need you to handle for me. You know An Xixue and An Xiyao, right? They are my friends and will stay by your side temporarily. Take care of them!"
At that, Yong Xinghua's heart quivered. How could he not know these two? He had already investigated them thoroughly when Ling Fan had sent people to arrange a duel.
The recent events could all be traced back to these two, who were rumored to be Ling Fan's women!
Yong Xinghua wiped away his cold sweat, "Young... Young Master Ling, that might not be convenient!"
Damn, Ling Fan's women, how could he dare to keep them by his side? Wasn't that asking for trouble?
"Their injuries haven't healed yet, and I have urgent matters to attend to, which makes it inconvenient to keep them with me. They are also martial artists, so they will go with you to Nine Dragons Palace later."
"As for their cultivation, they don't need guidance, you just need to make sure they don't sustain any injuries, otherwise, you will answer to me," Ling Fan instructed nonchalantly.
It would be impossible for the two sisters to recover in less than ten days to half a month, and they also couldn't move around during this time. Since Yao Yue wasn't there, it wasn't necessary for them to go to Zhongnan Academy for now.
The Cultivation Techniques had been passed on, and he could leave some resources for the two, leaving them with Yong Xinghua, whom he was quite confident in. This fellow was already bound by a Soul Contract, so there was no worry of any treacherous acts.
Mainly, this guy's strength was notable, certainly not inferior to the Elders of Zhongnan Academy.
"Rest assured, Young Master Ling, I will take good care of them and ensure they are safe, even at the cost of my own life!" Yong Xinghua took a deep breath and immediately declared.
Ling Fan was touched by such trust in him, and since he had pledged his loyalty and become Ling Fan's subordinate, the last thing he wanted was to be marginalized and overlooked!
"Hmm, I will go and explain things to them. You should stay here later. Once their injuries are healed, you can bring them back to Nine Dragons Mountain!" Ling Fan instructed before going upstairs.
Binzhou, Alice Restaurant.
A wave surged, and a sexy and glamorous beauty was sipping red wine, feeling somewhat frustrated.
It was none other than Lady Nora from Blood Peony, who had been in Binzhou for many days. She was feeling a bit gloomy lately, with Ling Fan not in Binzhou and Xiao Chubing gone as well.
Moreover, Tian Yun had undergone a change of leadership, and the current person in charge was a woman named Xia Ying. In the past few days, her attempts to schedule a meeting were unsuccessful, as it seemed Xia Ying was intentionally avoiding her.
How could she not avoid her, when she kept probing indirectly for news of Ling Fan? Furthermore, when Xiao Chubing had sought Ling Fan's counsel before, Official Ling, to avoid suspicion, had already made it clear not to meet!
Xiao Chubing had, of course, informed Xia Ying before she left.
"Snap!"
Nora set down her wine glass. "No way, I must meet Xia Ying today. Sincerity can move even stones; I've left my territory unattended to come here. If I go back like this, won't I be ridiculed to death by those bastards?"
Muttering to herself, she promptly walked towards the outside.
Xiangjiang, Tang Family.
Exercising patience, Ling Fan explained the situation to the two sisters, who seemed very docile and understanding in their response.
Subsequently, Ling Fan greeted Yong Xinghua and Tang Caiyan, preparing to return to Binzhou. He needed to make some preparations; one cannot accomplish much alone!
"Young Master Ling..." Tang Caiyan said hesitantly.
"Hmm? Is there something else?" Ling Fan asked indifferently.
"That... will we meet again?" Tang Caiyan asked tentatively.
Ling Fan pondered for a moment, "If fate allows, we will meet again!"
With those words, he disappeared outside, leaving under Tang Caiyan's complex and tangled gaze.
