Chapter 836 - The Enemies Arrived (1/2)

The girl became more elegant and theTrue Dragon blood made her look as n.o.ble as a princess.

“Why are you back?”

Chen Fan smiled as usual.

“Great Grandpa said I’ve been in the temple for too long, so he allowed me to come back and take a short break. Besides, I missed you and Grandpa Ding so much…”

The girl then ran into Chen Fan’s arms and started crying.

Chen Fan gently hugged her; she had grown and developed a better figure. He glanced over the door and saw Qin Luo standing there expressionlessly. This time, Chen Fan didn’t give in. He hugged Xiao Mang tighter and caressed her hair,

“Hm.”

Xiao Mang felt comfortable and relieved.

Her return was a big deal for the neighborhood. Old Ding laughed happily for the first time in a few months and he made a full table of herbal cuisine. The neighbors were also thrilled. Auntie Liu even gave them a chicken.

The neighborhood was the same as before.

“Brother, I had a lot of fun in the last few months. There are many grandpas with white beards in the Ancestral Temple. They taught me different things every day. Grandpa Li is good at brewing elixirs, Grandpa Qi knows how to use flying swords and Grandpa Xu can tame beasts. He even promised to give me a super cute pet…”

Xiao Mang kept talking.

Chen Fan knew that those white-bearded grandpas were the Elders of the Ancestral Temple. As the only Connate Overlords among the Chinese, every one of them were extremely strong.

“Great Grandpa was very curious about you and he asked me a lot of questions. He also told me to say hi to you.

“Right, I’ve also met Master Qin Luo. Even though everyone said he’s cool, he smiles every time he sees me. I saw him split a monster the size of a mountain in half. He’s really impressive…”

Xiao Mang suddenly paused.

She glanced at Chen Fan anxiously and only felt relieved when she saw Chen Fan wasn’t angry.

After several months of ongoing cultivation, Xiao Mang not only entered the Ethereal Enlightenment Level and became an Immortal Cultivator, but she also realized that Chen Fan wasn’t really powerful.

Those monsters in the North Sea were beasts that normal people could never defeat, but they were just Foundation Establishment Beasts in the eyes of Immortal Cultivators. Any Ethereal Enlightenment Cultivator could kill them in a second. Compared to killing the monster king, this was nothing.

After that, Xiao Mang didn’t talk about Qin Luo and the Ancestral Temple anymore, so that she wouldn’t irritate Chen Fan.

Chen Fan and Old Ding also noticed that, but they just smiled at each other and didn’t say anything else.

In the end, Xiao Mang said seriously, “Brother, let me protect you in the future. I’ll become stronger and you won’t have to take any risks for me.”

“All right, I’ll wait for you.”

Chen Fan nodded and smiled.

Xiao Mang didn’t stay too late at home. That night, people from the Ancestral Temple arrived, led by Qin Luo.

“It’s time to go back,” Qin Luo said coldly.

“Master Qin Luo, can’t we stay a bit longer?” Xiao Mang got up and asked.

“Cultivation is all about persistence. You’re a Chinese cultivator and you can’t slow down. Otherwise, how can you protect our people in the future?”

Qin Luo didn’t compromise at all.

Xiao Mang turned around and looked at Chen Fan and Old Ding. She kept tugging at Chen Fan’s clothes and stared at her feet. In the end, Chen Fan smiled and told her they could still meet next time. The little girl was then taken by the guards.

Qin Luo didn’t say another word to Chen Fan anymore and he kept glaring at him.

After that, Xiao Mang only returned once in a while.

She said she could go home because Great Grandpa allowed her to. Chen Fan guessed the Great Grandpa she talked about was the Grand Elder of the Chinese, Xie Changying.

Xie Changying.

He was five hundred and three years old and was the oldest Chinese cultivator. He was also the Grand Elder of the Ancestral Temple and the one who ruled over the Chinese.

“It seems that only the Grand Elder knows about the forbidden areas in the Ancestral Temple. He should also know the secret of the Chinese. Should I pay a visit some other time?”

Chen Fan rubbed his chin.
