Chapter 385: Rescuing Jing Ni
"Forget it, let's go. Bi Jun, from now on, you are free!"
Lin Fan turned around, preparing to take Shen Bijun away from the Shen Family Manor.
"Mother, take care of yourself. I will come back to see you in the future!"
Shen Bijun bid farewell to Shen Feiyun, then followed Lin Fan and left.
"Hold it! Shen Bijun cannot leave. I must make Shen Feiyun taste the pain I suffered back then!"
The Xiaoyao Marquis suddenly leaped forward, landing in front of Lin Fan.
"You had better not refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. If you anger me, I will send you down to see Li Xiaowan!"
Lin Fan raised an eyebrow and then said indifferently.
"That would be fine. I should have gone down to see Xiaowan and the child long ago!"
The Xiaoyao Marquis removed his mask. At this moment, his expression was calm, as if he had completely cast aside all thoughts of life and death.
"It is a pity that if you go down, you will only see Li Xiaowan, but you will not see your son."
"What did you say? How do you know Xiaowan was pregnant with a son? That child didn't die?"
Upon hearing this, the Xiaoyao Marquis's calm face was finally filled with astonishment.
"Not only did he not die, but he is also right here at the scene. Why don't you guess which one he is?"
Lin Fan looked at the Xiaoyao Marquis with great interest.
The Xiaoyao Marquis and Shen Feiyun were both stunned. The others looked at each other, suspecting one another, while only Xiao Shilang maintained a carefree appearance.
"Could it be Lian Chengbi? Back then, Bai Honglian and I confirmed that Sister Wan was dead. That child definitely could not have lived for long. Only we sisters could have possibly saved the child. I didn't do it, so it must have been Bai Honglian or my senior sister. But since you say he is at the scene, Lian Chengbi is the most likely candidate!"
Shen Feiyun looked at Lian Chengbi with a complex expression. She could not understand why Bai Honglian would raise the son of an enemy. Could it be that she wanted the father and son to kill each other? But back then, they all thought the Xiaoyao Marquis was already dead!
"Is it me? Impossible, my father is Lian Zetian!"
Lian Chengbi was on the verge of madness. Her fiancé, whom she was about to marry, had been snatched away; her good friend had been killed; her father's kneeling to beg for mercy had been confirmed; her mother had forced her father to his death; and she herself was the son of the Xiaoyao Marquis. These events, one after another, were truly more than she could bear.
"It is indeed not you. Back then, Abbess Qingjing discovered that Li Xiaowan's child was still alive, so after saving him, she handed him over to villagers at the foot of the mountain to be raised. However, that household was attacked by wild wolves and all died. The only child was dragged back into the mountains and became a wolf-child."
Lin Fan smiled; Lian Chengbi's look of existential doubt was truly amusing.
"A wolf-child? Is it you? Xiao Shilang!"
Feng Siniang looked at Xiao Shilang in shock upon hearing this. She knew that before the age of ten, Xiao Shilang had lived among wolves in the mountains.
"Do you have any proof?"
The Xiaoyao Marquis also looked at Xiao Shilang with burning eyes upon hearing this.
"He has a cross-shaped scar on his shoulder. That was carved into him by Abbess Qingjing."
Xiao Shilang pulled open his clothes and discovered that there was indeed a cross-shaped scar.
"Are you really my son?"
"Father?"
Lin Fan had no interest in watching the grand drama of the Xiaoyao Marquis and Xiao Shilang recognizing each other as father and son, so he turned to leave.
"Lin Fan, you helped me find my son. Whatever request you have, just say it! I will grant anything!"
"Forget it. Your Heavenly Sect's cultivation methods, gold, silver, jewelry, secret arts, and poisons are not worth mentioning to me. You had better keep them for yourself!"
Lin Fan had already walked far away, but his voice still lingered in their ears.
"Lin Fan, there is one thing you will definitely like!"
The Xiaoyao Marquis suddenly shouted at Lin Fan's retreating back.
"You and Shen Feiyun have loved and killed each other for so many years; it is truly foolish. The dead are gone, but the living must continue to live."
Lin Fan did not pay attention. The Heavenly Sect's divine artifact, the Deer-Cutting Saber, was not worth mentioning to him either. Instead, he offered a word of advice to the Xiaoyao Marquis.
"Young Master Lin, I have finally come out! The feeling of freedom is truly wonderful!"
Shen Bijun smiled happily at Lin Fan.
"Freedom? Hahaha, from now on, you can go anywhere in this vast world!"
Lin Fan laughed heartily. He had already achieved the Earth Immortal Realm; was there any place he could not go?
Returning to the restaurant to retrieve his Night-Shining Jade Lion, Lin Fan took the women and left the city.
"Young Master Lin, why not buy a few more horses? My Shen Family Manor also has many fine horses!"
Shen Bijun discovered that there was only one horse for the six of them. Even if this horse looked magnificent, it could not seat them all.
Lin Fan did not explain. Seeing that there was no one nearby, he summoned the Claw-Yellow Flying Lightning and the Cloud-Treading Black Steed.
"This?!!!"
Shen Bijun was stunned. What was this? How could two precious horses appear just because Lin Fan waved his hand?
"Follow me. There will be many more surprising things in the future. Let's go!"
Lin Fan held Shen Bijun, and the other women also set off, two to a horse.
After traveling for more than half an hour, a black dot suddenly appeared in the sky. Lin Fan frowned and stopped the Night-Shining Jade Lion.
Soon, the black dot revealed its true form; it was none other than Lin Fan's brother, the Jade-Clawed Goshawk, Zhui Feng.
"Jing Ni is in danger? Let's go!"
Lin Fan could feel Zhui Feng's anxious mood. He immediately let Zhui Feng lead the way and headed toward Jing Ni's direction, with Yao Yue and the others following closely behind.
After another half an hour, Lin Fan discovered Jing Ni trapped in an encirclement ahead. She was travel-worn and covered in blood; it seemed she had been fighting while fleeing and had ended up here.
The number of black-clad men surrounding Jing Ni was large, but their martial arts were far inferior to hers. However, the presence of a man nearby made Jing Ni focus most of her attention on him.
That man was dressed in Qin army attire and wore a mask. He looked very inconspicuous, but Lin Fan knew that the only person who could make Jing Ni treat him with such caution was Yan Ri. As for Black-White Xuan Jian, he did not look like that.
"One Sword Separates the World!"
Lin Fan took out the Seven-Star Panlong and executed One Sword Separates the World. All the assassins pursuing Jing Ni were annihilated.
"Who is it?"
Yan Ri, who had been holding the mentality of a cat playing with a mouse, asked in shock.
This sword Qi was overbearing and peerless; he knew he could not possibly withstand it.
Fortunately, it was not aimed at him just now, otherwise, he would not have had the chance to speak.
"I will spare your dog life so you can go back and tell Zhao Gao that from now on, Jing Ni is leaving the Net and is already a person of my Master Tianji. Tell him to be sensible, otherwise, I don't mind going to the Great Qin to chop off his dog head!"
Lin Fan looked at Yan Ri indifferently, making Yan Ri feel as if Lin Fan were looking at a pig or a dog. It was truly terrifying!
Yan Ri did not even dare to make any threats and immediately used his lightness skill to leave the place.
