Covering the Sky: The Ruthless Empress's Brother, Becoming an Emperor Through Biting!

An eerie silence fell over the tavern.

A few drinkers in the corner, holding their wine bowls, stared motionlessly at the doorway.

On the street, the three burly men were piled on top of each other, groaning in pain, but dared not get up again.

Ye Fan clapped his hands. Although he did not release the aura of a Life Spring Realm cultivator, his swift and decisive movements completely subdued the situation.

Old Man Jiang and little girl Jiang Tingting were still standing there, stunned.

Especially that little girl,

Her big, dark eyes, still glistening with tears, stared unblinkingly at Ye Fan, as if she were mesmerized.

Several seconds passed before she realized what was happening and tugged at the sleeve of the old man in front of her.

She hid behind the old man, peeking out half of her head.

"Thank you, big brother."

The little girl's voice was timid, with a hint of hoarseness from just having cried.

"Thank you for helping us..."

Ye Fan turned around to face the little girl, and the sharp aura he had exuded instantly dissipated.

He gave a kind smile: "It's nothing, just a small favor."

The old man finally snapped out of his shock.

He wasn't as naive as his granddaughter; he saw things much more deeply.

The boy's attack was incredibly fast, like a ghost, and his strength was definitely not that of an ordinary person.

A hint of awe and worry flashed in Old Man Jiang's eyes.

He took his granddaughter's hand, stepped forward, and bowed deeply to Ye Fan.

"My lord..."

"Are you a member of the immortal sect?" Old Man Jiang couldn't help but ask.

Before Ye Fan could answer, he seemed to remember something, and his face turned deathly pale in an instant.

He hurriedly added, "By the way, sir, they are from the Li family."

"There are also people from the Li family cultivating in the immortal sects." The old man's voice trembled.

"You'd better leave quickly. The Li family wields considerable power," the old man sincerely advised Ye Fan.

He didn't want his benefactor to get into huge trouble because of him and his grandson.

"The Li residence?"

Ye Fan raised an eyebrow; he didn't seem to care.

He had just advanced to the Life Spring Realm and was brimming with confidence.

"Oh?" Ye Fan asked curiously, "Are the cultivators from the Li family very powerful?"

"This..." Old Man Jiang hesitated for a moment.

Pang Bo, standing to the side, also tensed up upon hearing the words "immortal sect" and "cultivator".

He leaned closer to Ye Fan and whispered, "Ye Zi, have we messed up with some powerful enemy again?"

They had just escaped from the Demon Emperor's Tomb, a place where gods fought, and didn't want to get into any more trouble.

Only Jiang Xuan, sitting in the corner, seemed not to have heard anything.

He remained calm, picked up the bowl of wine, and slowly drank it.

The commotion outside seemed less appealing than the wine in his glass.

Seeing that Ye Fan and Pang Bo seemed unaware of the seriousness of the danger, Old Man Jiang was so anxious he almost stomped his feet.

"Why……"

He sighed heavily and said in a low voice.

"I've heard that there's a powerful expert at the Bitter Sea Realm guarding the Li residence..."

In his mortal mind, the Bitter Sea Realm was already a legendary figure.

He is a true "immortal".

He thought those three words would be enough to scare away the three young men in front of him.

however.

"puff."

Pang Bo had just picked up his teacup when he heard this and almost spat it out.

The Bitter Sea Realm?

Pang Bo and Ye Fan exchanged a glance, both noticing the strange look in each other's eyes.

How did those two just advance to the Life Spring Realm?

Oh, it seems like I just stepped over the threshold of the "Sea of ​​Bitterness".

Ye Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought it was a huge threat.

A smile returned to his face, he patted his chest, and said to Old Man Jiang, "Don't worry, old man."

"It'll be alright."

Now, all three of them are "great masters" in the Life Spring Realm.

The Bitter Sea Realm is nothing to me.

……

Just then.

Jiang Xuan, who had been watching the show the whole time, finally finished the last sip of wine.

He stood up, stretched, and slowly walked over.

"How is my eldest nephew?"

Ye Fan thought his uncle was praising him, so he grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.

"Uncle, I've taken care of everything."

"Mm." Jiang Xuan nodded.

"uncle?"

Jiang Tingting, the little girl who had been curiously observing Jiang Xuan, suddenly spoke up in a low voice.

She pointed at Jiang Xuan, then at Ye Fan.

"So young, isn't he the older brother?"

In the little girl's eyes, these three people were all about the same age, so how did one of them become her "uncle"?

"Tingting!"

Old Man Jiang was startled and quickly covered his granddaughter's mouth.

He was afraid that his granddaughter's innocent words might offend this seemingly unfathomable young man.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"Hehe." Jiang Xuan laughed.

He waved his hand, indicating that the old man didn't need to be nervous.

"Sir, please don't frighten the little girl."

His tone was very gentle, like that of a friendly older brother next door.

However, the next second.

He turned his head and looked at Ye Fan, who was looking smug.

The smile on Jiang Xuan's face vanished instantly.

"Ye Fan, you!"

"Huh? What's wrong with me?" Ye Fan was taken aback.

"That's not a solution at all," Jiang Xuan said, his tone full of disdain.

"..."

Ye Fan's smile froze on his face.

"Uncle, I..."

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean'?" Jiang Xuan glanced at him.

"You think it's impressive that you beat them up and chased them away?"

"Doesn't this leave a hidden danger?"

Jiang Xuan decided to give this eldest nephew his first lesson of the day.

"Nephew, you must remember this."

He patted Ye Fan on the shoulder, his expression becoming extremely serious.

"To cut the weeds, you must pull them out by the roots."

Ye Fan: "..."

"You may drive them away today, but tomorrow they will send someone even stronger."

"If they can't beat you, who will they target?"

Jiang Xuan pointed to the old man who was trembling and Jiang Tingting who looked bewildered.

"What will happen to them if you leave?"

Ye Fan's expression also darkened.

He was only thinking about upholding justice, but forgot about what would happen next.

"Then... what should we do?" Ye Fan asked.

"What should we do?" Jiang Xuan smiled.

He regained his calm demeanor.

But what he said next made the temperature in the entire tavern drop a few degrees.

"Your uncle is kind-hearted."

"A family should be together all the time."

He glanced at the three burly men who had gotten up and were running away, and said calmly:

"Go to the Li family later and help them reunite."

"..."

The air seemed to freeze.

Ye Fan opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

He stared blankly at Jiang Xuan.

Should we reunite them?

"Uncle, you're so kind-hearted!" Ye Fan thought to himself.

Pang Bo, standing next to him, also twitched his lips slightly.

He looked at Jiang Xuan's kind profile and silently mourned for the Li family for a second.

The Li family is doomed if they dare to offend their uncle.
