Chapter 1596 You really spoil her.

Su Fan lowered his eyes and gazed at the rising steam from the tea on the table. In the moment of silence, he made a decision.

He had been a member of the Demon Sun Divine Palace for several years, spending his days in the Su family mansion without ever contributing a single bit of effort to the sect.

However, the benefits and cultivation resources provided by the sect over the years have never stopped.

Although he didn't say it, he always remembered this kindness in his heart.

Now that the sect is in trouble, even the sect leader Peng Shidao has humbled himself and personally visited to ask for help, with a respectful attitude and earnest words.

Moreover, as a disciple of the Demon Sun Divine Palace, he had an inescapable responsibility to help his sect in times of trouble.

Thinking of this, Su Fan slowly raised his hand, picked up the celadon teacup on the table, and took a small sip.

“Since the sect leader has spoken, then I, junior brother, will go. I agree to this matter…”

Upon hearing these words, the solemnity and deep-seated helplessness on Peng Shidao's face vanished instantly.

Instead, there was an undisguised ecstasy.

"Thank you, Junior Brother. With you here, we disciples of the Demon Sun Divine Palace will surely be safe and sound during this trial..."

Peng Shidao was actually quite uncertain about his chances of success when he visited, and was even prepared to leave empty-handed.

Despite being the sect leader of the Demon Sun Divine Palace and personally condescending to visit the Su family, he had absolutely no confidence in the situation.

He knew Su Fan's personality all too well: he was naturally indifferent to power, disliked being bound, and cared little for empty fame.

If it's something he's unwilling to do, even if he begs him as the sect leader, it might not sway him in the slightest.

Su Fan's immediate agreement is undoubtedly a lifesaver for the Demon Sun Divine Palace.

The huge weight in Peng Shidao's heart finally lifted, and his joy and gratitude were no exaggeration.

Although the centennial Dao Assembly of Zhengyuan Heaven is approaching, it is not difficult to find a great cultivator in the late stage of the Integration Realm within the sect to lead the team.

The real challenge lies with the other demonic sects participating in this trial, each of them harboring ambitious goals.

They all sent out their most ruthless and elite members, each of whom was extremely vicious.

Within the Demon Sun Divine Palace, apart from Su Fan, the rumored ferocious and tyrannical great demon, there was truly no one who could subdue those guys.

Peng Shidao was unaware that although Su Fan appeared fierce and cold, he was actually someone who would respond better to gentleness than force.

He's quite easy to talk to as long as someone treats him sincerely.

"However, I have two requests..."

Upon hearing this, Peng Shidao thought to himself, "As long as you agree, let alone two requests, even ten or a hundred wouldn't be a problem."

"Junior brother, please speak. Whatever your request, the sect will never shirk its responsibilities..."

"First, I will only be responsible for leading the team during this trial; I will not be involved in any other miscellaneous matters. Second, please try to conceal my identity during this trip..."

Upon hearing these two requests, Peng Shidao nodded in agreement almost without hesitation.

"Alright... I'll do as you say, Junior Brother... I will definitely give the orders and will never reveal your identity, Junior Brother, nor will I let those trivial matters bother you..."

With the matter settled, Peng Shidao had no more worries and quickly got up to take his leave, even politely declining the banquet prepared by the Su family.

All he wanted to do was rush back to the sect to share this good news with the senior members, finalize the entourage for the trial as soon as possible, and make thorough preparations.

Su Fan got up and saw Peng Shidao out of the Su family mansion, then slowly turned around and returned to his own small courtyard where he lived alone.

He walked into the hall and had just sat cross-legged on the futon beside the table when he suddenly heard a soft, delicate moan coming from the bedroom next door.

The indifference in Su Fan's eyes softened slightly, and a helpless yet gentle bitter smile appeared on his lips.

He slowly stood up from the ground and walked into the bedroom next door, afraid of disturbing the people inside.

The bedroom was dimly lit. Wei Xiaomo was curled up on the bed, her brows furrowed and her long eyelashes trembling slightly, as if she had a terrible nightmare.

Su Fan sat down gently on the edge of the bed. Before he could even speak, the little girl seemed to sense his presence and reached out to hug his arm tightly, burying her head in his chest.

Her voice was soft and sweet, with a nasal tone and a deep sense of dependence: "Don't go...hold me..."

Su Fan's heart instantly softened, and he smiled helplessly, obediently reaching out to gently embrace the little girl.

He gently patted her back and rocked her slowly, his voice so tender it could melt your heart.

"I won't leave, I'll hold you, sweetie..."

Held in his arms, Wei Xiaomo seemed much more at ease, but her brows remained furrowed, her small body trembled slightly, and her arms clung tightly to his waist.

Clearly, the nightmare she just had had quite a fright.

Looking at her like this, Su Fan felt a pang of heartache that was hard to detect.

This little girl is like a child who hasn't grown up.

Su Fan carefully picked up Wei Xiaomo horizontally, turned around and walked out of the bedroom, returned to the hall, sat down cross-legged again, and let the little girl lie peacefully in his arms.

Not long after, Li Chongxiu walked in from outside. When he saw the scene in the hall, a smile flashed in his eyes.

She quickly jogged forward and skillfully brewed a pot of spiritual tea for Su Fan.

"Master, you're back..."

She gently placed the brewed spirit tea on the table in front of Su Fan, poured a cup, handed it to Su Fan, and then looked at Wei Xiaomo, who was fast asleep in his arms, with a smile.

"Master, you really spoil her..."

Su Fan reached out and took the teacup, taking a small sip. The delicate fragrance of the spiritual tea spread across his tongue.

"She's still young..."

Time flowed slowly by, and before we knew it, it was already evening.

As the sun sets, golden rays pierce through the clouds, spilling into the courtyard and painting half the sky red.

The sunset on the horizon was like a vast expanse of brocade, or as if it had been scorched by a raging fire, a dazzling and magnificent expanse of red.

The entire Su family mansion was bathed in a warm glow.

Su Fan held Wei Xiaomo in his arms and sat there for a whole day.

He gently put one arm around the little girl's waist, while holding a yellowed book in his other hand, engrossed in reading it.

"Hey..."

Wei Xiaomo, nestled in his arms, suddenly whimpered, her small body stirred slightly, her long eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her sleepy eyes.

Her eyes were dazed, still half-asleep, as she looked up blankly at Su Fan.

She snuggled into his arms again, twisting her little body to find the most comfortable position, and pressed herself tightly against him.

Su Fan noticed her movement, slowly put down the book in his hand, reached out and gently touched her little head.

"Sweetie...sleep a little longer..."

Wei Xiaomo shook her head, lifted her head from his embrace, stretched lazily, and had a faint blush on her face, looking extremely cute.

"I'm not going to sleep..."

She whispered, then yawned widely, climbed out of Su Fan's arms, sat down next to him, and gently rested her little head on his shoulder.

"I'm hungry... I'm hungry..." "What do you want to eat..."

"I...I want to eat that kind of porridge from a few days ago..."

"Okay... whatever you say..."

Su Fan then closed his eyes and sent a thought to Li Chongxiu outside the door.

He instructed her to cook a pot of red date, longan, and glutinous rice porridge, and to prepare two steamers of fresh and tender xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), making sure they were soft and sticky, suitable for a little girl.

Not long after, Li Chongxiu, accompanied by several maids, carrying steaming hot food, quietly entered the hall.

On the tray, besides the spirit rice porridge and steamed buns that Wei Xiaomo wanted to eat, Su Fan's dinner was also prepared.

The two sat quietly in the hall, slowly eating their dinner in a warm and comfortable atmosphere.

Just as the two were enjoying their meal, a clear voice suddenly broke the brief silence from outside the hall.

Immediately afterwards, the senior sister walked in first, followed by Gu Qinghuan and Li Miaoxue, both with a smile in their eyes.

Seeing Su Fan and Wei Xiaomo eating in the hall, they all came over and sat down at the table.

The senior sister turned her head and waved to Li Chongxiu, who was standing to the side.

"Xiuer, we haven't eaten yet, could you get us something to eat too..."

"Grandma, what would you like to eat? I'll go and make it for you right away..."

"Whatever...whatever..." The senior sister waved her hand casually.

"Just do whatever you think is best..."

Upon hearing her senior sister's words, Li Chongxiu quickly agreed, and with several maids beside her, she turned and hurriedly left the hall to prepare the meal.

Wei Xiaomo picked up a steamer of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) from the table and handed it to her senior sister, a faint smile on her face.

"Sis... have this first to tide you over..."

The senior sister took the steamed buns, her smile growing even brighter.

"Mo'er, you still love your sister the most..."

After she finished speaking, she picked up a small steamed bun and stuffed it into her mouth, then handed the steamer basket to Gu Qinghuan beside her.

"Old Gu, Xue'er...you should eat something too, just to fill your stomachs..."

Gu Qinghuan and Li Miaoxue took the steamer basket, picked up the steamed buns, and slowly began to eat.

The hall gradually filled with the sounds of people talking and laughing, creating a lively and warm atmosphere.

Not long after, Li Chongxiu, accompanied by her maids, brought over the prepared food and placed it on the table.

Once all the dishes were on the table, Su Fan's family of five finally sat down together and enjoyed a lively dinner.

The family of five usually has their own things to do, so they rarely have time to be together like this, and even less often do they have the opportunity to sit together quietly and have a dinner.

Wei Xiaomo ate with great enjoyment; in fact, she had always wanted to be a part of this family.

But she was too young, and she was timid and somewhat insecure, so she didn't know what to do or how to start the conversation.

On weekdays, apart from coming over to keep Su Fan company, she usually stays in her own courtyard and rarely goes out.

Unlike her senior sister, Gu Qinghuan, and Li Miaoxue, who are inseparable and seem to grow up together.

A few days ago, she heard from her maid that even when her senior sister and the other two came to keep Su Fan company at night, they all came to his place together.

Thinking of this, Wei Xiaomo's face instantly turned hot, even her ears turned red, and a faint shyness and a hint of envy rose in her heart.

Just as the group was enjoying their meal and chatting happily, Luo Guyin walked in from outside.

Seeing the five people sitting together in the hall, eating a lively meal, he was stunned for a moment, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Wow...it's really nice to see all five of you together today..."

After she finished speaking, she sat cross-legged on the prayer mat next to her, her gaze lightly sweeping over Su Fan.
"I heard that in a few days, you will be taking the disciples of the Demon Sun Divine Palace to participate in the trial..."

Su Fan nodded slowly, his tone calm.

"Hmm... but that's a few months from now..."

Upon hearing Su Fan's words, Senior Sister, Gu Qinghuan, and Li Miaoxue were all stunned, their eyes filled with astonishment.

They've been busy socializing these past few days and haven't heard anything about this.

The senior sister was the first to react, laughing heartily, "Master, since you're going to the trial, why don't we go with you..."

Her senior's words instantly struck a chord with Wei Xiaomo.

The disappointment and unease she had felt because Su Fan was leaving vanished instantly.

Her eyes lit up, and she quickly reached out and hugged Su Fan's arm tightly, nodding her head gently.

Gu Qinghuan nodded slowly, her eyes full of expectation, her tone gentle.

"Yes, take us with you..."

Even Li Chongxiu, who was standing by, couldn't help but speak up, his tone pleading:

"Master, why don't you take the grandmothers with you? You can leave them in the personal secret realm..."

Su Fan looked at the people around him, noticing the expectation and pleading in their eyes.

Seeing Wei Xiaomo clinging tightly to his arm, looking reluctant to part, a gentle smile appeared on his lips.

He slowly turned his head and glanced at Luo Guyin beside him.

"Alright... then I'll take you all with me..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt Wei Xiaomo's arms tighten around his arm. The force wasn't strong, but it was filled with joy and reassurance.

The atmosphere in the hall then became lively, and the laughter of several people drifted out of the hall, warm and lingering.

A few days later, the "Demon Sun Divine Palace" sent someone to deliver a jade slip.

Upon receiving the jade slip, Su Fan placed it on his forehead.

After a while, he put the jade slip down and couldn't help but sneer.

This jade slip contains information about the location of this trial and the various sects of the Demonic Path.

Just as he had predicted, the reason why the "Demon Sun Divine Palace" sent him to lead the team to the trial grounds was indeed to have him keep order.

Although the "Demon Sun Palace" is considered one of the few super demonic sects in Zhengyuan Heaven, the other three major demonic sects are the ones that truly control the demonic path of the entire plane.

These three major demonic sects are the "Blood Hidden Demonic Sect", the "Holy Demonic Palace", and the "Secret Demonic Sect". In terms of both strength and foundation, they far surpass other demonic sects.

Moreover, these three major demonic sects are constantly fighting each other, and the other demonic sects in Zhengyuan Heaven have to choose sides.

Even the "Demon Sun Divine Palace," a super demonic sect, is no exception; the sect stands on the side of the "Holy Demon Divine Palace."

Therefore, the "Demon Sun Palace" is bound to be involved in the trials of the various sects of the Zhengyuan Heavenly Demon Sect and the struggle between the three major demonic sects.

There's no way around it; in this situation, no matter which demonic sect it is, they have no choice but to act against their will.
