Chapter 1034 The situation has changed
Yunxi expressed her helplessness, since they were now the villains. What surprised them was that the Fan family head didn't seem to welcome the arrival of Blue Hat Phantom, which was interesting.

As Meng Lanjun breathed a sigh of relief, he sent a Dream Orchid into the Fan family head's body before sitting back down and beginning to understand the family head's thoughts through a dream.

Xiao He also emerged from behind the pillar where he had been hiding and stood in front of Yun Xi, saying:

"Fairy, my sister."

"Don't rush. Let's figure out what the Fan family head is thinking first. Besides, we're trapped here now. If we forcefully break the formation, it will alert the entire Fan family, making our actions even more passive."

Xiao He knew Ranxi was right, but he still couldn't help feeling anxious. However, he took a deep breath and quietly stood back beside Yunxi.

Yunxi noticed that Menglanjun's expression was becoming increasingly strange, as if she had seen something incredible in the Fan family head's dream.

A quarter of an hour later, Meng Lanjun turned to look at Yun Xi, her eyes filled with surprise, realization, and curiosity, which finally culminated in one sentence:

"Fan Xiuyuan saw the entire Fan family wiped out because of the Blue Hat Phantom Fungus. Just as you said, the Fan family members became nutrients for the Blue Hat Phantom Fungus to multiply, and the Fan family became sinners in the entire Immortal Realm."

Upon hearing this, Yunxi's eyes flashed, and she understood what Menglanjun meant. It seemed that the head of the Fan family had received a warning from the heavens and foreseen the demise of the Fan family. Therefore, he wanted to nip the culprit who caused the family's destruction in the bud.

However, things took a turn for the worse with Yunxi. The Blue Hat Phantom Fungus and its companion immortal plant were killed by her and Menglanjun together, and now it was their turn to eradicate the cancerous tumor that was the Fan family.

Whether or not the head of the Fan family knew about the family's deal with the evil immortal, they still had to clean up the mess. However, this time it shouldn't be necessary to uproot the entire Fan family; those who were unaware of the deal should be able to escape unscathed.

Menglan looked at Yunxi, who seemed to be deep in thought, and said:

"Ranxi, have you guessed something?"

Yunxi nodded:
“If you and I hadn’t entered the Shatuo Kingdom first, the people sent by the Fan family would definitely have been able to bring the Blue Hat Phantom out of its confinement. The Fan family would have become nourishment for the Blue Hat Phantom, just as this family head saw.”

After saying that, he pointed at Xiao He and said:

"If I'm not mistaken, it wasn't Xiao He who brought back the Blue Hat Phantom Fungus!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Meng Lanjun's eyes, but she still nodded.

Yunxi became even more certain of her guess, because according to the novel, Wei Yunxi died not long after she formed her core, and Wei Lingkai would also die in the Xiao family. The entire Xiao family would then be on the ship of evil cultivators, and their fate would be self-evident.

Once Xiao Lei is controlled by the evil cultivator, she will become a bargaining chip to manipulate Xiao He. Xiao He will only run wildly down the path of evil and eventually send himself to his death.

Now, because of her intervention, Xiao Lei was saved, which led Xiao He to abandon his evil ways and come to the Immortal Realm after many stumbles. He then became a guard for the Fan family, and once again had to risk his life because of his sister, which is why the two met in the Shatuo Kingdom.

Xiao He may not trust anyone, but he will absolutely trust Yun Xi, who helped him pull back from the brink. In order to rescue his sister, he will follow all her arrangements to allow them to enter the Fan family smoothly, which is why the current situation exists.

Meng Lanjun is becoming increasingly curious about Yunxi. He feels that the other party seems to have glimpsed a sliver of heavenly secrets, which is why she is so calm in the face of everything before her.

Yunxi pulled her hood back up and calmly said:
"Lan Jun, please ask Patriarch Fan to open a gap in the formation so that Xiao He and I can leave. You stay here with him and prevent him from having any thoughts of self-destruction."

Meng Lanjun glanced at Xiao He, who seemed noticeably more relaxed, and knew that Yun Xi was going to rescue his sister. However, this was something they had agreed upon beforehand; otherwise, why would he risk returning to the Fan family? So he nodded and instructed the Fan family head to open a crack in the formation trapping them. Yun Xi took the jade pendant from the Fan family head's waist, led Xiao He out of the side hall, and whispered to Xiao He:

"Before the Fan family falls into chaos, I'll send you and Xiao Lei away first."

Xiao He quickly agreed. He and his sister couldn't help and didn't want to cause trouble for the fairy, so he immediately led Yunxi to the courtyard where the Fan family disciple they had been guarding was.

The two moved quickly, encountering patrolling immortals along the way, but after seeing the jade pendant in Yunxi's hand, they did not stop them.

Xiao He led Yun Xi to Fan Hanshuo's courtyard with his head down, knocked on the already set barrier, and a moment later someone appeared in front of them.

The guard noticed a flicker of surprise in Xiao Heshi's eyes, clearly not expecting his return, and spoke with displeasure:

"Young Master is currently cultivating. Please come back tomorrow if you have something to attend to."

Xiao He suppressed his anger and replied with his eyes lowered:

"I have completed the task assigned to me by the young master. The patriarch instructed me to bring this fairy to see him and to take my sister to see the patriarch. Please inform him of this."

The guard looked at the female immortal hidden in the hood, and hesitated for a moment. However, after seeing the jade pendant worn by the patriarch, he deftly opened the barrier, led the two into the reception room, and then went to report to Fan Hanshuo.

Fan Hanshuo was quite displeased that his dual cultivation had been interrupted, but when he heard that Xiao He had returned, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He immediately abandoned his dual cultivation partner, changed into his robe, and went to the reception room.

The guard added:
Xiao He said he would take Xiao Lei to meet the head of the family.

Fan Hanshuo paused upon hearing this, a smug look flashing across his fair face. He waved his hand and ordered:
“Bring Xiao Lei here. Anyway, all her cultivation is already mine. I spared her life to keep Xiao He in check. Now that she has walked right into my trap, I will grant them their wish.”

"Yes, Master."

Xiao He grew increasingly anxious, but he dared not show it. When the seemingly respectable Fan Hanshuo stepped into the reception room, he glanced back and did not see his sister. This made his heart sink, and he had a bad feeling.

Yunxi sat calmly in the guest seat, her face hidden under her hood. Her slender fingers casually played with the "borrowed" family head jade pendant. This simple action alone attracted Fan Hanshuo's full attention.

He immediately stepped into the main seat, with his guards standing behind Fan Hanshuo, and announced loudly:
"What brings this fairy to see Young Master Shuo?"

Yunxi said calmly:
"No rush, let's talk about it together after we meet Xiao Lei."

The pleasant voice made Fan Hanshuo's eyes light up, and he became even more interested in Yun Xi. Just as he was about to speak, a guard dragged Xiao Lei into the reception room, threw her on the ground, and then stood guard at the door.

Looking at Xiao Lei's aged face and white hair, Xiao He's eyes immediately reddened. There was nothing he didn't understand: his sister's cultivation had been taken away by Fan Hanshuo.

Xiao Lei was dizzy and couldn't even see who was above her until she heard a mournful voice call her name. Only then did she speak, her voice trembling:
"Brother, you shouldn't have come back."

 I'm secretly posting a chapter as a surprise for you all. See you tomorrow!
