Upon hearing Shunzi's voice, the corners of Lin Fan's mouth curled up slightly!

Because everything was within his expectations. Lin Fan had originally thought Shunzi would take some time to consider, but didn't expect him to decide so quickly!

Lin Fan turned his head and asked, "Have you thought it through?"

"Master... As long as you can take care of my mother, I'll do anything!" Shunzi said.

"I promise, as I said when drunk, I'll take care of your mother just as I said I would!" Lin Fan assured him!

Shunzi hesitated for a moment after hearing these words!

Thump~

Suddenly, Shunzi kneeled on the ground, startling several men nearby who were smoking!

Shunzi said, "Master, I am willing to follow you!"

Lin Fan chuckled lightly, came in front of Shunzi, helped him up, patted his shoulder, and laughed: "I believe you will make wise choices. But rest assured, although being by my side poses life risks, I will use my utmost effort to protect you!"

"Master, since I've decided to follow you, my life is yours. Whatever you want me to do, I'll do it. I made up my mind when I joined the army, as long as I follow a good commander, I'm willing to serve on the front lines. I believe this decision to follow you is the right one!" Shunzi said with a heavy tone, with no regrets!

"Your life is yours, I don't want it, just having you is enough. Life is important, only being alive can you achieve many things, so I hope you will guard your life well!"

Lin Fan smiled and took out a scroll made of bamboo from his bosom, then handed it to Shunzi, saying: "This Qi Cultivation technique suits you well; it's called 'Great Immeasurable Palm'. Practice it well, I will arrange things for your mother soon, and after you settle your mother, come to the East Sea to find me!"

"Yes! Master!" Shunzi nodded.

"Don't call me Master, call me Boss!" Lin Fan said with a smile.

"Yes! Boss!" Shunzi called out sincerely!

Lin Fan patted Shunzi's shoulder; he believed he hadn't misjudged. Though Shunzi was honest, his mind was quick, and loyal, exactly the person Lin Fan needed by his side!

He believed that Shunzi would carve out his own path by his side!

"The Four Heavenly Kings have gathered for three days; the last one missing is Lin Bai..."

Thinking about Lin Bai's situation, Lin Fan could only sigh helplessly!

It wasn't that Lin Bai didn't want to become one of the Four Heavenly Kings; it's because his second and fifth martial uncles had been benevolent to him. He practiced under these two, and to master the final Qi Cultivation technique, he needed to abandon his cultivation and start anew.

Lin Bai naturally couldn't bear to do this, he felt it would be a betrayal to his masters!

"Seems like a troublesome matter, but it's just a matter of time..."

Lin Fan sighed helplessly and then turned away from the rooftop!

After Lin Fan and Ye Fei'Er had lunch with Shunzi and his mother, they left Hebei and returned to Beijing!

...

East Sea, suburban villa area!

The sky gradually dimmed, stars twinkled, and the villa area lit up. The long streetlights connected like a fiery dragon!

Su Yanyu purchased a villa here for Xiang'Er, as per Lin Fan's instructions, and sent many bodyguards to guard it. Xiang'Er's research on the parchment scroll is of great importance to Lin Fan, and he didn't want any accidents!

The lights on the second floor of the villa were still on, and Xiang'Er was inside meticulously studying the contents of the parchment scroll.

In recent days, she had been tirelessly researching the texts, piece by piece the information was decoded, revealing the terrifying nature of the parchment scroll which concealed an earth-shattering secret!

In the courtyard, several bodyguards were seriously patrolling. Everyone's waist was bulging with guns!

Shush~

At this moment, a fierce wind suddenly swept across!

The two bodyguards at the gate sensed something was amiss and immediately turned to look!

But at this moment, two shadows swiftly surged forward, the bodyguards sensed something wrong, hurriedly reaching for their guns. However, just as their hands grasped the gun handle, their movements halted abruptly!

When the two shadows reached the bodyguards, their sharp black nails pierced the guards' throats mercilessly!

The two figures were cloaked in black robes; after taking down the guards, they dispersed, placing their left hand on their left chest, kneeling with one knee, showing a respectful demeanor!

Shortly after, as footsteps sounded, a tall silhouette slowly approached from the darkness!

This individual was cloaked in black, with a loose hood concealing his features, revealing only half of a pale face!

His body exuded a bloody scent, as if he had just emerged from a pool of blood!

At this moment, the guards in the courtyard realized an enemy attack, quickly gathering at the villa entrance, drawing their guns from their waists!

Roar Roar~

Suddenly, two roars echoed!

The two kneeling subordinates kicked open the iron gate, charging swiftly into the courtyard. As they did, two sharp fangs emerged from their mouths, and the blood vessels on their faces bulged grotesquely!

Undoubtedly, these two were members of the Blood Clan!

The guards in the courtyard were shocked upon seeing the Blood Clan's formidable presence!

However, at this time, the two blood clan members swiftly lunged at the guards.

"Kill him! Kill the monster immediately!" someone shouted!

Bang bang bang!

The piercing sound of gunfire erupted instantly!

A guard fired three shots, each bullet precisely piercing a blood clan member's chest.

However, the blood clan member merely paused, looking down at the bullet hole on his chest, a hint of blood seeped out. He touched the blood, then licked it with his finger, apparently unharmed.

Roar!

The blood clan member let out a roar, lunging forward, and viciously sank his fangs into the guard's throat, instantly draining the guard's blood dry, leaving him as a dried corpse!

"Monsters! They are monsters, zombies!"

The terrified guard shouted!

Unfortunately, the blood clan members showed no hesitation, mercilessly striking, leaving several guards collapsed on the ground, all drained of blood, turned into dried corpses, looking horribly tragic!

Thereafter, the blood clan members opened the door, then retreated aside.

The black-robed figure standing not far away observed coldly, slowly entering the villa, followed closely by the two blood clan members!

These two blood clan members were Count level, and the strength of the black-robed figure was evident; he was the Blood Clan's second Guardian, even more terrifying than the leader!

Upon entering the villa, the three blood clan members headed straight to the second floor. The black-robed figure waved his hand, prompting one Count level blood clan member to step forward and knock on the door!

"Who's there? What's the matter?"

Soon, Xiang'Er's voice was heard from inside!
