If Lu Xining were to take this opportunity to cause trouble... wait, that sounds pretty exciting?

"..."

Fan Xiao shamefully wavered for a moment.

But he quickly adjusted his mood and chose a safer option.

It would be more appropriate... or rather, safer to bring the Lu sisters into the instance separately for discussion.

Fairy Tale Town is quite large now, so it's easy to set up a separate place for conversation, away from my junior sister.

result……

Before he could even say those words, he received the coordinates.

The new coordinates gave him a similar sense of space and time as the one Yu Xuezhao had provided before—it should also be in the 001 partition.

There's a lingering sense of foreboding.

But we can't just ignore it.

If the person providing the coordinates has an emergency and, for some rather comical reason, ignores it, thus delaying their important business... that would really be a bit ridiculous.

Suppressing his hesitation, Fan Xiao opened the door and connected with the spacetime at the coordinates.

Before your eyes is a gate with a familiar outline. Behind the iron railings is a spacious courtyard with a fountain featuring an artistic statue of a pure maiden holding a holy grail in her hands. Water gushes from the grail, and the water splashes out in perfect arcs.

This is the main entrance to the Rice Estate.

Lu Xining and Lu Baizhi were standing beside the door, each holding half of a black paper doll.

Beside them stood the smiling saintess, the cold-faced Sakura, and the calm-faced Yushiro.

Besides the five of them, there was another girl, Nori, who wore a black and red shawl, Lolita fashion, an eye patch, and bandages on her arms, and looked like a sick girl.

"..."

Fan Xiao felt an urge to close the door to the copy.

This scene... is quite large.

Why did all these people gather together?

How can we recruit people individually now?

He should have used illusions to conceal himself; right now, he's with Yin and Yu Xuezhao.

And then there are those on the other side of the door...

It can be described as a scene of intertwined robes and sleeves, surrounded by pearls and emeralds.

With a sigh, Fan Xiao finally steeled himself and stepped through the door.

Yu Xuezhao is watching.

Creating illusions here is inappropriate; it only makes him seem guilty.

Although I don't have any romantic feelings for this senior, I still need to be mindful of my image.

Yu Xuezhao followed closely behind.

Behind them, Yin followed with a blank expression.

“I didn’t expect you all to be here,” Fan Xiao said after passing through the door and reaching the front gate. “Is there something you need? Why are you all gathered here?”

“Youbai said you had something to discuss and summoned us,” the saintess spoke first, with a slight smile, “so I brought everyone here.”

Good heavens! This is the work of yours... Fan Xiao wrote it down in his notebook.

Although the situation was large, he still had a way to handle it.

Fan Xiao looked at Youbai.

Youbai looked at Yuxuezhao.

Yu Xuezhao glanced at Fan Xiao and said, "When you asked me about the other members, wasn't it because you needed to talk to them? I left Youbai here to notify the members who arrived in Roman City."

"I just wanted to check on their situation. After all, I'm the head of this branch, I can't just sit back and do nothing."

After saying this, Fan Xiao's expression and tone became serious and heavy: "This incident is too dangerous, and it is not appropriate to involve them."

This statement successfully drew everyone's attention, and surprise and doubt appeared in their eyes.

They thought it was just a gathering to discuss the future development of the branch.

So... what big thing happened?

At this moment, Yu Xuezhao nodded slightly and said, "They are indeed not very suitable to get involved."

“Count, Count, I’m here.”

A rather lively voice broke the serious atmosphere.

Not far away, Nori jogged over and struck up a conversation with Fan Xiao: "So many people came to visit today, even you came back. Why didn't you inform me beforehand? I could have prepared a welcoming banquet that would be appropriate for my identity as the True Eye of the Evil King."

This thought popped into everyone's mind: "This kid is a late bloomer and a fool."

"besides."

Nori's one unconcealed eye gleamed, seemingly filled with intense interest: "Was that a spatial item? Or... a dungeon? You all just appeared out of nowhere."

“With Your Highness’s wisdom, surely you can figure this out?” Fan Xiao smiled. “I hope Your Highness, who is also a member of the Night Families, can keep this a secret for me.”

"Of course!"

Nori patted her rather thin chest and assured them.

Fan Xiao wasn't worried about the danger of the copy being exposed.

He has now become a force to be reckoned with.

He already has enough power to deal with those who are targeting him.

Those he couldn't handle... were like Dr. Zhuang, like Gu Hange, they definitely weren't after his copy.

"Do you have something important to discuss?" Nori asked, while reminding Van Chau, "Introduce them, Earl."

As a member of the royal family, she naturally knew the saintess and Sakura.

I've met Lu Xining and Lu Baizhi on the train before, so we can call each other acquaintances.

She had never seen the rest of the people.

Instead of introducing the meeting room, Fan Xiao said, "Prepare a meeting room for us first. We need to discuss some serious matters."

……

After a brief chat with Nori and catching up, Fan Xiao temporarily dismissed her and led the rest of the group to the VIP room, where he explained the whole story.

Of course, he did not reveal the information about the silver without authorization, and he kept it vague during the discussion.

Junior sister also needs her own private space.

"...It hasn't been that long since we last met, and you've already provoked such a formidable enemy?"

The saintess knew Fan Xiao quite well.

At the D-level player stage, he dared to kill a group of high-ranking members of Division 001... and he actually succeeded.

You could say he's definitely a restless individual.

Even so, she was still surprised.

An S-rank player...

She was so shocked that she lost all interest in flirting with Fan Xiao.

Moreover... with Lu Xining present, she couldn't continue her usual teasing style.

This girl is serious!

"It wasn't something we provoked; to be honest, it's a long-standing grudge."

Fan Xiao shook his head and said, "The level of the enemy this time exceeds the upper limit of the crisis that a backward node can encounter. It is not suitable for you to participate."

"Of course, this is not absolute... Let's see how things develop. If everything goes smoothly, you can try to capitalize on the momentum."

"For the time being, you should all suspend your dungeon runs and wait for my instructions."

"If the other party is really an S-level player as you say, will our current conversation in real life allow them to gradually pinpoint our location?"

Lu Xining suddenly spoke up and asked.

“Don’t worry, this room is temporarily under my copy’s cover, so it’s fine to have a simple discussion,” Fan Xiao replied. “However, we can’t linger too long. I’ll leave Roman City soon, and even leave this node, and continue to move around until the Living Tribunal’s reinforcements arrive.”

At this point, his gaze fell on Lu Baizhi, and he said, "Baizhi, why don't you leave with us later?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Baizhi didn't react yet, but Yu Xuezhao took a few glances at the little girl, seemingly a bit surprised by his junior brother's decision.

Bringing a C-level player along is like bringing a burden along, isn't it?

My junior brother isn't stupid; he wouldn't make a hasty decision... there must be some deeper meaning behind it.

Thinking of this, she did not stop her.

“Okay!” Lu Baizhi nodded solemnly.

She understood that Fan Xiao would need her luck again.

It feels so good to be needed... She was completely unaware that she was being used as a tool.

"Have we finished discussing the important matters?"

Lu Xining suddenly spoke up and asked Fan Xiao.

"..." Fan Xiao: "That's about it."

“Oh,” Lu Xining glanced at the taciturn Yin beside her and asked, “Who is she? You haven’t introduced her to us yet. I’d like to get to know her.”

"Yes, Fan Xiao, who is she?"

Lu Baizhi also pretended to be curious and asked.

“Teacher Tina’s new student, you can call her Silver,” Fan Xiao said seriously. “She is deeply involved in this incident, so she will have to work with us for the time being.”

"Teacher Tina's new student?"

Lu Baizhi was somewhat surprised and turned her gaze to Yu Xuezhao.

Yu Xuezhao nodded slightly in affirmation, but did not elaborate further.

With a spectator's mentality, she didn't want the fire in the VIP room to spread to her.

Quite interesting.

On the other side, Fan Xiao looked at Lu Baizhi with a somewhat subtle expression.

Why does it seem like Lu Baizhi doesn't believe him anymore? After listening to his introduction, she even subconsciously glanced at Yu Xuezhao for confirmation... The meaning behind this action is quite unusual.

Such a small movement, yet such great damage.

Are all women so sensitive?

Fortunately, the situation was brought under control.

Fortunately, his junior sister remained silent and did not say anything, cooperating with him very well.

If his junior sister causes trouble, he'll really have a hard time handling the situation.

Fan Xiao felt quite gratified.

The current situation is this: Lu Xining has subdued the troublemaking Holy Maiden, Lu Baizhi feels that her older sister is the biggest threat, and her junior sister remains aloof... Excellent! This situation is unlikely to escalate into a major conflict.

All that's left is to take Lu Baizhi with her, say goodbye to the others, and secretly kiss Lu Xining goodbye in private... and this "crisis" will be almost resolved.

To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, Fan Xiao said, "Alright, let's leave it at that. The enemy's methods are unknown, and you've been staying with me for too long, which is also risky..."

Which of them is your girlfriend?

Yin suddenly spoke up, interrupting Fan Xiao.

Fan Xiao: "..."

"Which one?"

Yin looked at Fan Xiao and continued to ask.

Before Fan Xiao could reply, Lu Xining glanced at Yin and made a mental note of this stray cat.
