Chapter 603

?Chapter 603: Chapter 603: Opposing the Marriage_1 Chapter 603: Chapter 603: Opposing the Marriage_1 The remaining ninjas were numerous, but Xu Fan was intent on pursuing them, and not a single one escaped.

He also destroyed all their corpses and erased all traces.

They had dared to strike at his doorstep, so how could Xu Fan possibly allow them to retreat unscathed?

He who kills must be prepared to be killed.

Those who dared attack him had to be ready for the possibility of failure and death.

For Xu Fan, this grand and mighty assassination attempt was merely a minor incident.

Returning to the guest room and seeing his wife and Tongtong sleeping sweetly, Xu Fan’s murderous aura immediately dissipated, and a surge of warmth and tenderness filled his heart.

His wife and daughter were both his armor and his weakness.

As long as he could see their joyful laughter, Xu Fan would take on all the troubles of the outside world.

A slight smile played on Xu Fan’s lips as he gently climbed into bed, nestled into the warm embrace of his wife, listened to her unconscious murmurs, and couldn’t help but laugh softly, planting a kiss on her ear.

Then he closed his eyes contentedly and, before long, fell asleep.

He slept soundly, but the Dark Emperor’s Army was already in disarray.

So many elite ninjas had been dispatched this time, yet all of them had lost contact.

It could be said that this assassination squad, the elite of the elite within the Dark Emperor’s Army, comprising eighteen formidable ninjas, had all vanished without a trace.

Wuteng Liekong was so furious that he was practically smoking, and by dawn, he still had not received the news he had been waiting for from his scouts.

His heart was as dark as still waters.

He feared that his brother, Wuteng Liekong, along with the other ninjas, were all dead without a trace, and not even their bodies remained.

“Xu Wufang, damn you!” he growled in a low voice.

Seeing this, the others trembled with fear, staying silent, not even daring to take a deep breath in the face of their furious leader.

Elsewhere.

After finishing breakfast, Xu Yixue and the other two women continued their unfinished task from the previous day and went out to scout locations.

Xu Fan didn’t dare give his enemies another opportunity.

After Xu Yixue had been kidnapped twice, he had learned his lesson well, so he followed to provide protection and also brought Xu Yue and Tongtong along.

Wang Xiaolong was very attentive, running around like an errand boy—fetching water, carrying things, and the like.

Of course, he dared not only shadow Xu Yue, but also gave everyone in the crew his enthusiastic attention.

Xu Yue saw everything with a cool head, unmoved by such displays.

If he thought this level of effort was enough to impress her, it was utterly fantastical.

Her attitude towards Wang Xiaolong was neither cold nor warm, not actively approaching him but not deliberately distancing herself either.

“Xue’er, come have some chilled sour plum juice, it’s quite hot today,” Wang Xiaolong said with a chuckle, handing her a cup of the drink.

Xu Yue wasn’t so coy as to refuse; she took it and drank a few sips before handing it back and walked away.

“Xue’er, are you hungry?

If you want something to eat, just tell me,” Wang Xiaolong continued with undiminished enthusiasm, trotting after her and asking with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yue turned to look at him squarely, her face expressionless as she said, “Go away!”
“Alright, no problem,” Wang Xiaolong replied cheerfully before turning and running off to rest under the shade of a tree.

“Shi Yu, I think Wang Xiaolong isn’t too bad, why don’t you try setting them up?” Chen Shiyu said teasingly after watching the scene unfold.

“It’s alright, but count me out when it comes to matchmaking.

After all, Xu Yue is an adult, and she has her own independent thoughts.” Xu Yixue nodded first, then shook her head to refuse.

Not only did the people in the crew notice something off about Wang Xiaolong’s behavior, but even Xu Fan felt there was something fishy; he always sensed the kid was up to no good.

But if the other party didn’t speak up, you couldn’t just go up and ask directly, could you?

It would be quite awkward if it turned out not to be what you thought.

Wang Xiaolong didn’t want to miss any chance to meet with Xu Yue, and during the last two days of shooting, he was extremely busy, earning a lot of goodwill.

Plus, he had been living in Dongjing since he was young and was very familiar with the place.

As the Young Master of Hongmen, he carried a lot of clout in Chinatown, and thus people from Yan Country gave him face, making the shooting go smoother for the crew.

Of course, there were still some Island Country cultivators who did not know their place and came looking for trouble with Xu Fan, but they were minor characters, easily dealt with by Xu Fan’s flick of the wrist.

After successfully completing their shooting and location scouting, there was nothing else to do, so the group booked their return flight.

Moreover, during the days they were away, Yifan Beauty Company had not stopped expanding its scale; orders were pouring in every second.

Lu Chennong was so busy that he was almost at his wit’s end, and if he didn’t return, he feared he would have to throw in the towel.

After all, running such a big operation nonstop by himself was truly exhausting.

Before leaving, Xu Fan went to the hospital to bring back the injured Xu Dan and four of their security team members.

?????.??

With him around, no injury was a problem.

Wang Jinghu led the Hongmen members to escort Xu Fan and his party all the way to the airport.

Wang Xiaolong saw Xu Yue playing happily with Tongtong and thought about the impending separation.

Not knowing when they might see each other again, he couldn’t suppress the turmoil inside him any longer and, gathering his courage, pulled Xu Fan to the side.

“Xiao Long, what’s up?” Xu Fan asked with a smile.

He had kept an eye on Wang Xiaolong’s actions over the past few days and took a liking to him; his impression was quite favorable.

“Xu…

Big Brother Xu, I…

can I change the way I address you?” Wang Xiaolong mustered all his courage and stammered.

“Uh, so what do you want to call me?” Xu Fan was taken aback, not quite catching the drift.

Wang Xiaolong looked down even more, his gaze fixed on his own feet, and murmured, “I want to call you brother, in the intimate sense, is that okay?”
“What?!”
Xu Fan finally understood and his expression instantly darkened, his solemn demeanor exuding an unruly aura, causing Wang Xiaolong to stagger and turn pale.

But Wang Xiaolong bravely lifted his head, locking eyes with Xu Fan.

Amidst the raging presence, he stated resolutely, “Brother, I…

I want to pursue Yueyue!”
“No way…

Forget about it,” Xu Fan flatly rejected, making clear the matter was not up for discussion.

“Big Brother Xu, is there something about me that makes you dissatisfied?

Whatever it is I’m doing wrong, just tell me, and I’ll change it right now!” Wang Xiaolong’s eyes dimmed, yet he asked with chest puffed out and head held high.

“Hmph, I have no demands for you because there’s no room for negotiation on this.

I warn you, don’t even think about it again, or I will be unfriendly,” Xu Fan said with a stern face, an unrecognizing look in his eyes, his voice cold and sharp.

“…”
For a moment, Wang Xiaolong felt like the sky had fallen and was filled with despair.

Clenching his fists tightly, his gaze was filled with unwillingness, yet he was helpless.

In this matter, he really had no way to proceed.

Not to mention Xu Fan’s status and strength, which made him untouchable.

Even Xu Yue’s identity as Xu Fan’s sister meant that as long as he was opposed, Wang Xiaolong could only suffer in silence.

To use force would be unthinkable; it was tantamount to suicide.
