"Xiao Fan, you just got back. Haven't you eaten yet? Have lunch here!" Miao Xiuhua said anxiously after the villagers had dispersed.
Cheng Xiao Fan smiled, "I've been hungry since breakfast. I'll eat here!"
Miao Xiuhua then said to Bai Yiling, "Yiling, you eat here too!"
Luo Changsheng hadn't left and was also asked to stay by Cheng Fugui.
Bai Yiling, who had just put a couple of spoonfuls of rice into her mouth in the new villa, hurried over.
She said, "Mom, I'll go to the kitchen with you to help cook!"
Miao Xiuhua smiled, "Yiling, Xiao Fan just got back. You keep him company in the main hall and chat. I can manage alone, no need for you to busy yourself!"
"Xiao Fan, tell me, why did you take so long abroad this time? You didn't even make it back for the New Year?" Cheng Fugui asked Cheng Xiao Fan.
"..." Cheng Xiao Fan felt utterly speechless upon hearing this.
Why was his father dwelling on this issue so much?
He couldn't possibly tell his father that he had traveled across universes to the Yanhuang Planet to search for another him.
As for that Cosmic Yanhuang Sword.
It was actually given to him by Chang'e.
If he had said that.
His father wouldn't have believed him even if he were beaten to death.
In his father's eyes, even if his son had heaven-defying abilities.
He couldn't possibly have met Chang'e!
How could such a legendary mythical story have happened to his son?
"Dad, there are some things I really can't tell you. Can you please stop asking?" Cheng Xiao Fan could only say this.
He truly couldn't find a good excuse to fob off his father.
Luo Changsheng smiled and said, "Fugui, Xiao Fan is all grown up and has such great abilities. Whatever he does, he has his own judgment. You shouldn't ask any more questions."
Cheng Fugui sighed.
He said, "Precisely because he has great abilities, I have to ask."
"You know, there are always people better than you, and there's always something beyond the sky."
"I'm worried about that old man in black robes!"
Cheng Xiao Fan smiled and said, "Dad, you don't need to worry. What the hell old man in black robes? After we finish eating, I'll go settle accounts with him."
"By the way—"
He looked at Bai Yiling, "Goddess Bai, did that old man in black robes leave you an address?"
Bai Yiling replied, "The old man in black robes left an address. He said he lives in Black Peak Mountain in the Great Northwest. As long as you get there, he'll be able to sense you."
"Don't blame your dad for worrying. That guy is indeed powerful."
"When he left, he flew away directly from the sky, surrounded by a swarm of black bats. The villagers were terrified, thinking he was a transformed bat demon!"
Cheng Xiao Fan nodded, having a general idea.
This old man in black robes might be a demon cultivator.
Under normal circumstances, a martial cultivator wouldn't be able to break into the villa compound.
After all, a powerful Dragon Blade Formation was set up around the villa compound.
Anyone who could break through the Dragon Blade Formation was no ordinary person.
What intrigued Cheng Xiao Fan the most was how the other party knew that he had obtained a Cosmic Yanhuang Sword on Venus when he went to the Yanhuang Planet.
"Are you alright after getting injured?" Cheng Xiao Fan asked Bai Yiling.
Bai Yiling replied, "I recovered long ago."
"Thanks to the few bottles of medicine you left me!"
"At that time, Ye Shisan, Jin Chu, Jin Wei Meihui Zi, Long Xingyun, and the others were all heavily injured. After taking your medicine, their injuries healed within an hour."
Cheng Xiao Fan asked, "Even Jin Wei Meihui Zi was present?"
Bai Yiling said, "Yes, she and Xiangzi have also recognized each other. During the New Year, I sent someone to take a helicopter to send Xiangzi and Luo Yang to Bai Mang Lake to pay their respects!"
Cheng Xiao Fan smiled, "That's good news."
Bai Yiling added, "Oh, a few days ago, Long Xingyun received a call from home, and it seemed to be something important. He took Jiang Xueyan and rushed back."
"He asked me to tell you when you got back."
"Judging by his tone, it seems he won't be able to return to Zhuxi Village for a while!"
Cheng Xiao Fan smiled faintly and said, "It's alright. After I deal with the old man in black robes, I'll contact Long Xingyun another day."
"Xiao Fan, are you confident you can handle that old man in black robes?" Cheng Fugui asked, frowning, still worried.
Luo Changsheng chimed in, "Yes, child, you must be cautious about this!"
Cheng Xiao Fan chuckled and said, "You can rest assured about this!"
"As long as I make a move, any demon will die!"
Cheng Fugui shook his head and said, "I really don't understand if you are my own son. I'm such a low-key person, how could I have a son like you who brags so much!"
"Cheng Fugui, do you believe I'll rip your stinking mouth apart!"
Just then, Miao Xiuhua walked out from the kitchen.
Hearing Cheng Fugui's words, she became furious.
She said angrily, "If the son isn't yours, whose is he?"
"How dare you say such nonsense in front of your daughter-in-law?"
"If you have the guts, say it again?"
"Xiao Fan's mother, I was just joking. You're taking it seriously!"
Cheng Fugui was immediately scared and stammered, "Alright, I was wrong, I was wrong!"
"The reason I said that to Xiao Fan was only to remind him not to underestimate the enemy. That old man in black robes is really not easy to deal with!"
Hearing this, Miao Xiuhua finally let go of her anger.
She said to her son, "Xiao Fan, your dad finally said something human!"
"Mom knows you have great abilities, but you must not be careless!"
Cheng Xiao Fan nodded and said, "Mom, don't worry. I have a lucky star over my head, and my luck is incredibly good. I will never suffer a loss at any time."
"Let's eat. I'm starving!"
He immediately changed the subject.
Miao Xiuhua immediately brought the prepared dishes to the table.
Some ate, some drank.
Cheng Xiao Fan ate two large bowls of rice.
He wiped his mouth and said to Cheng Fugui and Luo Changsheng, who were drinking, "Dad, Grandpa Luo, you guys drink slowly. Bai Yiling and I are heading back!"
Bai Yiling rode her motorcycle, carrying Cheng Xiao Fan, to the entrance of the new villa compound.
After he got off the motorcycle, he scanned the surroundings.
In his Dragon Eye's perspective, the Dragon Blade Formation around the compound had not been damaged at all.
In other words, when the old man in black robes broke into the compound, the defensive formation around the compound had not sensed anything.
"Goddess Bai,"
Cheng Xiao Fan asked with a frown, "When you were fighting that old man in black robes, did the bracelet I gave you on your wrist react?"
Bai Yiling immediately replied, "No!"
"I also found it strange afterwards. Why did the bracelet lose its ability to retaliate when it saw the old man in black robes!"
