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

Inside the tavern.

The atmosphere became somewhat tense because of Jiang Xuan's words.

Ye Fan's lips were still twitching; he didn't even know how to respond to Jiang Xuan's theory.

Although what the other party said made a lot of sense.

Jiang Xuan seemed not to notice Ye Fan's strange expression.

"Nephew," Jiang Xuan said calmly, "you know what to do next, right?"

What else could Ye Fan say?

He glanced at the grandfather and grandson, who were in a state of panic and confusion, and then thought about the truth of "cutting the weeds by removing the roots."

He found himself unable to refute it.

If they leave today, the Li family will definitely come back for revenge.

And this grandfather and grandson would certainly be powerless against it.

Rather than that, it would be better to...

Ye Fan took a deep breath.

His mind, educated in modern ways on Earth, was quickly adapting to the laws of this world after entering the realm of spiritual practice.

He nodded emphatically: "I understand, Uncle."

"Um."

Jiang Xuan was satisfied.

His eldest nephew is good in every way, except that he is sometimes too soft-hearted.

This is not a good thing in the cultivation world.

Jiang Xuan turned around, a warm smile on his face.

He squatted down so that he and the little girl with pigtails were at eye level.

"Little sister." Jiang Xuan's voice was so gentle it could melt your heart.

"Your constitution is quite extraordinary."

Jiang Tingting was still a little scared, but her big eyes were filled with curiosity.

She didn't understand what this handsome older brother was saying.

Jiang Xuan continued his cajoling, "Little sister, would you like to cultivate with your brother from now on?"

"Cultivation?" Jiang Tingting tilted her head, clearly not understanding the meaning of the word.

But the old man behind her understood.

Old Man Jiang's heart skipped a beat.

He was just threatened by the Li family, and now there's another person who looks like an "immortal" saying he wants to take his granddaughter to cultivate.

He looked at Jiang Xuan, then at Ye Fan beside him.

The old man's mind immediately became active.

"Brother..."

He cautiously approached, his voice trembling.

"My Tingting...is she very talented?" Old Man Jiang asked nervously.

Jiang Xuan stood up.

He stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly.

"Of course it's high."

His voice wasn't loud, but it was full of emotion.

"She has a Yin constitution."

"The physique of the former Lunar Emperor!"

"The Yin Body? The Human Emperor?"

Although Old Man Jiang didn't understand anything about the Taiyin Body, he did understand the words "Human Emperor".

That's definitely a legendary figure!

The old man's breathing instantly became heavy.

His wrinkled face flushed red with excitement.

"Could it be..." His voice changed.

"Could it be that my granddaughter possesses the qualities of an emperor?"

"The bearing of an emperor..."

Ye Fan, listening from the side, couldn't help but grin.

He glanced at the little girl who was still clutching her grandfather's clothes, looking bewildered.

He then looked at his uncle, who had already entered "charlatan mode".

Ye Fan had a feeling that Jiang Xuan's next sentence...

"but……"

Sure enough, Jiang Xuan's tone changed, and he was immediately filled with regret.

"Without a great stroke of luck, she probably wouldn't live past twenty."

"boom."

This simple sentence was like a bolt from the blue for Old Man Jiang.

The excitement and blush on his face vanished in an instant, leaving only a deathly pallor.

"Wh...what?"

He lunged forward and grabbed Jiang Xuan's sleeve, as if grasping at the last straw.

"Young man, you...you..."

He was so excited that he couldn't even speak properly.

"You said Tingting won't live past twenty... That can't be true, right?"

"Why."

Jiang Xuan sighed helplessly, letting the old man hold him.

"These are all recorded in the ancient books of the immortal sects."

His expression was as sorrowful as could be.

"Ancient texts of the Immortal Sect..."

These four words completely shattered the old man's psychological defenses.

He took two steps back and plopped down in the chair.

Tears welled up instantly in those old eyes.

"Oh my God..."

"My granddaughter... my Tingting... why is she so unlucky!"

The old man's cries were filled with despair.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo also frowned at the same time.

They glanced at Jiang Tingting.

That little girl was so well-behaved and adorable.

Is it really possible that she will die young?

"grandfather……"

Jiang Tingting was also terrified. She didn't know what had happened, she only knew that her grandfather was very sad.

She ran to the old man's side and held his hand tightly with her small hands.

"Grandpa, Tingting isn't afraid."

She tilted her little face up and tried her best to force a smile.

"Don't be sad!"

This scene made Ye Fan and Pang Bo's hearts clench.

Ye Fan could no longer hold back.

He looked at Jiang Xuan and hurriedly asked, "Uncle, is there really no way?"

Pang Bo quickly added, "Yes, Uncle, please think of something!"

In a short time.

Everyone looked at Jiang Xuan.

Old Man Jiang also suddenly raised his head, and a glimmer of hope rekindled in his despairing eyes.

He stared intently at Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan was under everyone's gaze, and then slowly nodded.

He smiled and spoke slowly.

"Well, there is a solution."

"However..."

"But what?" Old Man Jiang stood up, his voice somewhat urgent.

Jiang Xuan stopped smiling.

His expression became extremely serious.

"However, Tingting needs to cultivate with us."

"Join our school!"

"Become an apprentice?"

Old Man Jiang was so excited that he trembled all over.

This could be considered a stroke of luck, right?

"May I ask, young man..." The old man was so excited that he could hardly speak.

"Which sect do you come from?"

This is a crucial question.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo also perked up their ears.

Yes.

Which immortal sect are they from?

Could it be Lingxu Cave Heaven?

That would be too degrading.

Jiang Xuan met the old man's expectant gaze.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his expression solemn, and he exuded an inexplicable aura.

"We are naturally from the former Supreme Emperor."

He paused slightly before continuing.

"A disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of Nanling!"

He spoke each word with force and conviction.

Pang Bo: "The Heavenly Emperor of Nanling? What an imposing name."

Ye Fan: "??????"

Ye Fan stood behind Jiang Xuan, his fairly handsome face completely frozen at that moment.

He was internally ranting and raving.

"The Heavenly Emperor of Nanling? Did such an emperor really exist in history? Uncle, you're not making this up, are you?"

"Also, when did we become disciples of the Great Emperor?"

Old Man Jiang had no idea about these things.

Upon hearing the words "Heavenly Emperor," he was immediately trembling with excitement, but this was followed by an even deeper sense of fear and unease.

"Young...Young Master..." Old Man Jiang was very excited. He grabbed Jiang Xuan's hand and asked in a trembling voice, "Is this true? You...you're not lying to us, grandfather and grandson, are you?"

Jiang Xuan, with a solemn expression, turned around and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards the direction of the desolate ancient forbidden land.

"Don't worry, old man," Jiang Xuan said earnestly, "I swear on the Ancient Forbidden Land, I'm not lying to you!"

Ye Fan: "..."

Good grief, swearing an oath by pointing at the desolate and forbidden land, is that even possible?

Upon hearing this, Old Man Jiang's last trace of doubt vanished.

"Good! Good!" The old man, tears streaming down his face, pulled Jiang Tingting over. "Tingting, quickly, quickly kowtow to the Immortal Master! We agree!"
