Chapter 370: Chapter 370: Uninvited Guest_1
Hearing this, the three women couldn’t help but turn to Xu Fan, somewhat puzzled.
Xu Fan could only explain, “Some time ago, there was an incident involving an assassin attack that greatly affected me. Such dangers are likely to continue, and even more perilous situations may arise. So I’ve been thinking of ways to protect everyone. It wasn’t until I founded a security company and had my own subordinates that I could ensure your personal safety.”
“However, as Kowloon New City is a residential area, I can’t arrange for bodyguards there without disrupting the community’s public order and the residents’ lives. Therefore, I’m planning to buy a detached villa. In this way, I can arrange for bodyguards and security effectively.”
Xu Yixue felt it was somewhat extravagant and couldn’t help asking, “Is it really necessary to buy one? But purchasing a detached villa costs a lot of money, at least half a billion, right?”
“Yes, we must buy one.”
Xu Fan replied firmly, “As for this, leave it all to me. Old Brother Lu is a real estate tycoon, so I believe he can help us choose the right villa quickly. Once we buy it, we’ll move in.”
“Alright, we’ll do as you say.” Xu Yixue no longer objected and agreed to it.
Somehow, she had grown accustomed to Xu Fan’s arrangements, and deep down, she even started to see Xu Fan as the head of the family, while she herself was the lady of the house.
Chen Shiyu excitedly raised her hand and chirped, “I want to live in a villa too.”
Xu Yixue swiftly pulled down her jade hand, laughing speechlessly, “Even if you didn’t come, I’d have to drag you along.”
Seeing that Xu Yixue had agreed to the arrangement, Xu Fan was also in high spirits and asked Tongtong, “Tongtong, we’re going to switch to a bigger house in a few days. Do you like that idea?”
Tongtong’s eyes shone with a smile, and she giggled, “That’s great, Tongtong wants to sleep in a big bed and buy a room full of toys.”
“Mhm, Daddy will definitely buy Tongtong some more toys.”
“Daddy is so nice, Tongtong loves Daddy, mwa mwa.”Nôv(el)B\\jnn
“Brother-in-law, have you forgotten all about me? Aren’t you going to ask if I want to move with you guys?” Ye Zining frowned, clearly dissatisfied.
Xu Fan didn’t even glance at her as he simply said, “Has my cooking suddenly stopped being delicious?”
“…” Ye Zining was momentarily dumbfounded, then swallowed hard and bit back, “Tch, you really think I’m so easily tempted? I’m only coming along because I’m concerned about Sister Xue.”
“Right, we all understand.” Everyone couldn’t help showing ambiguous smiles.
After parking the car in Kowloon New City, the group got out, ready to head home.
“Hello, Xu Qiyin has been waiting to see you, Big Brother, Sister-in-law. I’ve finally caught you.”
Just then, the door of a car not far away suddenly opened, and a young man with a smiling face stepped out, followed by an elder in a Tang suit.
As the Tang-suited elderly man got out of the car, Xu Dan, who had driven Xu Yixue home, felt a chill in his heart. His entire body tensed up, his heart raced, and a look of horror spread across his face.
The presence of the Tang-suited elder was exceedingly oppressive, even surpassing that of Xu Fan.
He remembered this feeling all too well, for he had experienced it before from an elder at the Wuzen Temple.
A Grandmaster at the peak!
This was definitely a peak Grandmaster.
He took several deep breaths, trying to relax his mind as best he could. After all, judging by their appearance, they didn’t seem like enemies.
Elder Huang glanced nonchalantly in the direction of Xu Long in the distance, feeling somewhat surprised that Xu Fan’s attendant had achieved a full Qi Drawing Realm, but he soon dismissed the thought and looked away.
Observing Xu Fan, who was a young Martial Arts Grandmaster, Elder Huang scrutinized him carefully, as that was the purpose of his visit.
But soon he furrowed his brow.
Incredibly—despite his own strength, he could not see through Xu Fan’s cultivation level.
Looking at him was like looking at an ordinary person, and yet he was no ordinary person, but a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
He instantly thought of two possible reasons for this situation.
One was that the other person’s cultivation level was much stronger than his own, possibly having stepped into the Heavenly Venerable Realm… if that were the case, there would be nothing to fuss about; he could just confidently return to the Xu Family and sweep away any obstacles in his path.
The second possibility was that the other person might be carrying a special treasure that concealed their aura or had cultivated a secret method with a similar effect.
Elder Huang was uncertain at the moment, but he was more inclined to the second possibility.
After all, if Xu Fan had reached the Heavenly Venerable Realm at his age, it would be too frightening. He would immediately become the number one genius of the Ancient Martial World, a peerless and extraordinary talent.
Strangely, after greeting them, Xu Qiyin left a profound smile and then directly drove off with the man in the Tang suit.
Xu Fan gazed at the disappearing car, his expression becoming somewhat obscure.
“Xu Fan, what are you thinking about?” Xu Yixue walked over and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.
“It’s nothing,” Xu Fan turned his head to look at her, his face calm and composed.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Chen Shiyu blurted out thoughtlessly, “Xu Fan, was that guy just now your brother? He looks quite enviable. By the way, your brother’s looks are really impressive; he’s much more handsome than you.”
Xu Fan looked at this woman speechlessly, but couldn’t get angry. After all, Chen Shiyu was also a stunning beauty capable of bringing disaster to the nation, not someone to take lightly. And what she said was crude but had a point.
“Yixue, what do you think?” Xu Fan wanted to hear Xu Yixue’s opinion.
The latter pursed her lips and smiled, saying frankly, “I also think your brother is both handsome and courteous, very easy to make a good impression on people.”
“Sister Xue’er, are you too easily bought or what? Just a simple ‘sister-in-law’, and you’re hooked!” Ye Zining teased with a laugh on the side.
Xu Yixue and she were as close as sisters, already accustomed to the teasing. Far from being intimidated, Xu Yixue flirtatiously threw a suggestive glance her way.
Xu Fan understood the attitudes of the three women, shaking his head and forcing a smile, “Even you all have taken a liking to him at first sight; it seems Xu Qiyin is really something.”
The three women paused, realizing that the situation was not as straightforward as they thought, and they all looked at him with curious eyes.
Xu Fan had no intention of keeping secrets and simply recounted his own situation with Xu Qiyin.
After listening, the three women gained an understanding. A little surprised, they were very empathetic.
Indeed, within a big family, even blood brothers could become rivals; not to mention Xu Fan and Xu Qiyin were merely cousins.
It seems, Xu Qiyin’s greeting could easily cause a misunderstanding; a polite “big brother and sister-in-law” had made outsiders take a shine to him.
After knowing what sort of person Xu Qiyin was, the three women developed a sense of caution: this person was very calculating.
“So that’s how it is…” Ye Zining was quite disappointed, disdainfully curling her lip.
Why did Xu Qiyin come to Zhonghai and meet with me at this time?
Xu Fan’s brows knit slightly as he pondered the other party’s intentions.
He felt it was unlikely that the other party would come all this way just to call him ‘big brother.’
There must be some ulterior motive for this visit, and it might even be aimed at dealing with him.
Dealing with him was not a big concern; Xu Fan was not worried at all. After all, just Xu Qiyin plus a complete Grandmaster couldn’t harm him in the least.
What worried him was that this might only be preliminary scouting, and should the other party clarify his strength, the Lin Family might send even more formidable experts to trouble him.
There was no helping it—
The appearance of the Elder in the Tang suit had greatly corrected Xu Fan’s estimate of the Xu Family’s strength. It wasn’t as he had thought, merely a few insignificant cats.
