Xu Fan greeted the old turtle and then planned to leave.
Long Ah Zi felt snubbed and huffed displeasedly, soon becoming curious as she looked around at the scene of the post-battle aftermath.
Just then, an old man dressed in a black robe approached and clasped his hands towards Xu Fan, “Sword Heaven Sect Master, Shen Yisen greets Mr.
Xu.
Shen Jianting is my grandson, and he has informed me of everything.
Mr.
Xu, you not only assisted my grandson in obtaining the Divine Swords within the ruins but also turned the tide of battle outside of them.
For your great kindness and grace, our Sword Heaven Sect will forever hold it in our hearts.”
Having finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Xu Fan.
Behind him, the other three powerhouses from the Sword Heaven Sect, including the Grand Elder Shi Jingshi, similarly bowed in unison to Xu Fan.
“There is no need for such formalities,” Xu Fan said with a smile, gently lifting his hand.
A strong yet gentle force spontaneously emerged, lifting the four members of the Shen family.
Seeing Xu Fan demonstrate this ability, all four were inwardly shocked.
To effortlessly lift four of their top powerhouses, even though they had not exerted their full strength, hinted at the extent of Xu Fan’s power.
Shen Yisen said, “My grandson Shen Jianting told me that Mr.
Xu might need the help of our Sword Heaven Sect, may I inquire what matter it is?
As long as it is within our power, the Sword Heaven Sect will not hesitate to assist.”
Xu Fan said, “There’s no need to rush this matter.
When the time comes, I will personally visit the Sword Heaven Sect to discuss it in detail.”
Shen Yisen responded, “Very well, we will await Mr.
Xu’s esteemed visit.”
After exchanging contact information, Xu Fan and the old turtle left the place.
By the time he returned to Yanjing, it was already afternoon.
In fact, according to his original plan, he could have returned this morning, but his trip to Yundian Province had delayed him greatly.
He was somewhat apprehensive, wondering if Tongtong would take issue with it.
Thinking of his daughter, Xu Fan’s face involuntarily softened.
The old turtle was curious throughout the journey, looking around at everything.
Being away from human society for so long, everything seemed novel to him.
“Young Master!” Zhou Xian came forward to greet him.
Upon receiving the news of Xu Fan’s return, he had driven over to meet him.
“And who is this?” Zhou Xian curiously sized up the old turtle.
“Hehe, I am the Turtle Immortal,” the old turtle said with the air of a sage.
Although Zhou Xian didn’t fully understand the implications, he knew that anyone able to accompany Xu Fan must be no ordinary figure, so he respectfully greeted, “I am Zhou Xian, I greet the Turtle Immortal.”
The trio proceeded directly back to the estate.
At this time, Elder Xu, Zhang Qingning, Xu Yixue, and others were waiting outside the estate.
Tongtong was being held by Xu Yixue, her large eyes blinking as she eagerly looked into the distance.
But when she finally saw a familiar car approaching, her entire being perked up.
She naturally knew that Zhou Xian driving meant he was picking up Xu Fan.
And now that the car was back, it also meant that Daddy was back.
Stepping out of the car, Xu Fan walked towards Tongtong with a smile.
The time he spent away had only made him miss his precious daughter all the more.
“Come down, Tongtong wants to come down.” Tongtong twisted her little body, struggling to get down.
With a smile, Xu Yixue carefully set Tongtong down.
“Daddy, Daddy’s back…”
The moment her feet touched the ground, Tongtong ran towards Xu Fan, her chubby arms wide open.
Xu Fan’s smile grew even wider.
He took a few quick steps forward, crouched down, and scooped Tongtong into his arms.
“Daddy came back so slowly, Tongtong was almost worried sick…” Tongtong pouted, her words brimming with a sense of grievance.
Xu Fan immediately apologized, “It’s all Daddy’s fault.
Daddy is sorry.
Can Tongtong forgive Daddy this time, please?”
Tongtong crossed her arms, huffing, “Not that easily, Tongtong won’t be so easily coaxed.”
Tongtong pouted, turning her little head to one side, her mouth so puckered it looked like it could hang an oil bottle.
However, her watery big eyes occasionally stole glances at Xu Fan, peeking at his reactions.
The little darling’s cunningly adorable antics were crystal clear to the adults, which made everyone try to hold back their laughter.
Behind Xu Fan’s back, Xu Yunji secretly winked at Tongtong, giving her a “well done” look.
This little one had been clamoring for Daddy since she woke up in the morning, and it took a lot of coaxing to finally calm her down a bit.
Xu Yunji secretly instigated her, telling her to give Daddy a good lesson when he returned, so he would realize his mistake and wouldn’t dare to come back so late again.
When Tongtong saw the Daddy she had been longing for walking down from the car just now, she was so excited that she almost forgot about it.
So now she quickly changed her expression, deliberately putting on an unhappy and aggrieved demeanor.
Her tiny, pretentious actions were indeed cute in their own way, which made everyone smile even more broadly.
Seeing Tongtong’s change of attitude, Xu Fan understood in an instant what was going on.
It must have been someone who enjoyed meddling, secretly instructing Tongtong.
But what could he do?
?????.??
This was his most beloved treasure after all.
He could only dote on and love her, and there was no other way.
Xu Fan asked, “Daddy loves Tongtong the most.
How could Tongtong not forgive Daddy?”
Tongtong grumbled, “It’s because Daddy didn’t behave, he already promised Tongtong to come back very soon.
But Tongtong waited for Daddy for a very, very long time.
I watched a lot, a lot of cartoons, and only now Daddy is coming back.
Humph!
Daddy’s words don’t count!”
Xu Fan gave a wry smile.
Tongtong continued, “Moreover, Daddy promised to bring a gift for Tongtong when he returned.
But Daddy has no gift, is Daddy a liar?”
Xu Fan apologized immediately, “Daddy is sorry, Daddy really wanted to come back, but there were too many things, Daddy had no choice.
And Daddy has been thinking of Tongtong all the time.
Daddy loves, loves, loves Tongtong the most.”
“Daddy mustn’t lie!” Hearing that Daddy loved her the most, Tongtong’s face finally broke into a smile.
“Daddy swears, Daddy is not lying!” Xu Fan said earnestly.
“Then where’s Daddy’s gift?” Tongtong immediately asked with a face full of expectation.
