Chapter 5: Piao Miao Immortal Palace

During the days Xiao Fan was in seclusion, Long Miaoyin stayed by the door, afraid that someone would disturb his Cultivation.

Even when bringing meals, she would get the food from the kitchen, pass it through the small door outside the secret room, and then eat outside the door herself, never leaving his side.

“Hmm, you’ve worked hard these past few days,” Xiao Fan said with a smile.

Long Miaoyin had a delicate, almond-shaped face with clear, bright eyes beneath her brows and neat black hair, but the lower half of her face was still covered by a veil. If it weren't for the birthmark on her face, Miao Yin would undoubtedly be considered a beauty of unparalleled charm.

“It’s not hard. How has your Cultivation progressed these past few days?” Long Miaoyin asked.

“Hmm, not bad. How have things been recently? Has anything happened?” Xiao Fan asked.

Long Miaoyin nodded and recounted the recent events to Xiao Fan one by one: first, about her Long Family Patriarch coming to cause trouble multiple times, and then that Long Xiaotian would return to Jingchuan City in three days.

Long Yi’s injuries from Xiao Fan were indeed severe, but with the Long Family’s extensive medical treatment, he had mostly recovered a few days ago.

Then there was a sensational event that shook the entire Jingchuan City: people from Piao Miao Immortal Palace had arrived and were currently staying at the Xiao Mansion.

This person was said to have been sent by an Elder from Piao Miao Immortal Palace. That Elder had taken a liking to Xiao Tian’s Aptitude and sent someone to guide Xiao Tian in Cultivation matters beforehand, and then take Xiao Tian away with him.

Because of this matter, the entire Jingchuan City was abuzz with excitement. Everyone knew that Piao Miao Immortal Palace was the largest Sect in Martial Emperor State.

A mere Jingchuan City was not even worth mentioning in Martial Emperor State.

She naturally understood the matter of Xiao Fan and Xiao Tian, these brothers.

Many people in Jingchuan City even rumored that the first Family in Jingchuan should no longer be the Long Family, but the Xiao Family!

“Piao Miao Immortal Palace…” Xiao Fan murmured softly.

Anyone from Martial Emperor State knew about this Holy Land, a place that Cultivators dreamed of, where even becoming a handyman or servant was something many Cultivators fought tooth and nail for.

And his younger brother, Xiao Tian, was actually favored by an Elder of Piao Miao Immortal Palace; his future was boundless.

Xiao Fan came back to his senses and said with a smile, “I’m fine, no need to worry. When is Xiao Tian leaving for Piao Miao Immortal Palace with that person?”

Long Miaoyin said, “It’s today.”

“What a coincidence, then let’s go and see,” Xiao Fan said softly.

Whenever a Genius was chosen by Piao Miao Immortal Palace, it was a sensational event for the local area, representing the rise of a Family.

Many people from the entire city would go to observe the ceremony, and some Family forces would even present precious Heaven And Earth Treasure as gifts. Of course, many Families also hoped to use this opportunity to establish a connection with the Immortal Palace envoy.

“Hmm?” Long Miaoyin was surprised, “You want to go see?”

“That’s right, let’s go. If we don’t go now, it will be too late,” Xiao Fan said with a smile.

At this time, only some servants remained in the Long Residence. The Long Family Patriarch, as well as Long Yi and other important direct descendants of the Long Family, had already left for the Xiao Mansion entrance to pay their respects to the Piao Miao Immortal Palace envoy.

The status of Piao Miao Immortal Palace in Martial Emperor State was unquestionable. As long as Xiao Tian remained in Piao Miao Immortal Palace for even one day, the Long Family, no matter how much resentment they held against the Xiao Family, would have to endure it.

Xiao Fan and Long Miaoyin left the Long Residence amidst the hushed discussions of a group of servants.

...

At the Xiao Mansion, the entrance was adorned with lanterns and streamers, and the surroundings were packed, with half of Jingchuan City’s population coming to watch the excitement.

The envoy from Piao Miao Immortal Palace was a high-ranking figure in ordinary times; just seeing him once was enough for them to boast about for a lifetime.

The Long Family Patriarch, Long Anhai, had arrived early. Although the Long Family was the largest Family in Jingchuan City, they dared not be arrogant in front of Piao Miao Immortal Palace and even presented a large amount of Heaven And Earth Treasure and Spirit Stone to curry favor with the Immortal Palace envoy.

The Piao Miao Immortal Palace envoy was also very satisfied with Long Anhai’s understanding behavior.

In the Immortal Palace, his status might not be much, but outside, these envoys were the spokespersons of the Immortal Palace, and various forces would compete to curry favor with them.

“Long Anhai, you are very good. I will convey your sincerity to the Immortal Palace,” the Immortal Palace envoy said with a smile.

Long Anhai cupped his fists and thanked him, “Thank you, thank you, envoy. Please speak a few good words for my Long Family.”

Xiao Tian, as well as Xiao Fan's father and mother, stood beside them, their faces full of arrogance, not putting the Long Family in their eyes at all.

“Rest assured, I will do this small matter,” the Immortal Palace envoy replied indifferently.

In fact, these Immortal Palace envoys only agreed verbally. Although everyone knew it, the necessary words and actions could not be omitted.

“Heh heh, Long Anhai, how is my waste Elder brother doing at your residence?” Xiao Tian said coldly from the side, with an arrogant expression.

Long Anhai’s mouth twitched, being called by his full name by a Junior... However, thinking of Xiao Tian’s current status, he could only suppress the anger in his heart.

“Xiao Fan… is doing well in my Long Family. His injuries have already healed.”

“His injuries have recovered?” Xiao Tian raised an eyebrow.

He knew best how serious Xiao Fan’s injuries were; it was a miracle he didn’t die. And now he had actually recovered?

“That’s right, he has indeed recovered,” Long Anhai replied. In fact, he himself felt that this matter was a bit strange.

Family shame should not be publicized. The fact that Long Yi was injured by a waste son-in-law was naturally kept secret by the Long Family, so this matter did not spread outside except for the Long Family members who knew.

Xiao Fan's father and mother on the side were also surprised. They knew how serious their eldest son’s injuries were at the time; they didn't expect him to still be alive?

The Immortal Palace envoy did not speak from the side. As a person from the Immortal Palace, he had no interest in these trivial matters.

There were only a few people in the entire Jingchuan City who he would even bother to look at.

“Forget it, I’m already a person of the Immortal Palace, so I naturally don’t care about a waste’s affairs.” Xiao Tian pondered for a moment, then looked at the Immortal Palace envoy beside him, “Senior, let’s leave.”

The Immortal Palace envoy nodded, then waved his hand and took Xiao Tian into the air, transforming into starlight and leaving the place.

“This is the Piao Miao Immortal Palace envoy, it’s my first time seeing him.”

“This Xiao Family will be extraordinary from now on. I think the first Family in Jingchuan City will change hands in the future.”

“I really envy Xiao Tian’s Aptitude. His future is definitely boundless, much stronger than his waste brother.”

...

The crowd immediately erupted. When the Immortal Palace envoy was present, they only dared to stand far away and watch, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Now that the envoy had left, all sorts of comments were made. Some even compared Xiao Fan and Xiao Tian to mock Xiao Fan.

However, just as this person opened his mouth, he was struck by a fist wind from who knows where, falling to the ground and spitting out blood...

The person who struck was precisely Xiao Fan.

After he and Long Miaoyin arrived, they quietly watched the Xiao Family entrance until Xiao Tian left.

After teaching that person a lesson, Xiao Fan and Long Miaoyin turned and left, disappearing into the crowd.

Xiao Fan did not kill him; he merely taught that person a lesson. He would be fine after lying in bed for a few days.

“Xiao Tian, you and I will settle our accounts slowly in the future.”
