Battle Through the Heavens: Clan Leader, I'm sorry, now I just want to be a good person.

Lin Yan, who was standing to the side, hesitated for a moment when he saw Zi Yan. He then looked at Xiao Fan, but did not run away. Instead, he stood a little closer to Xiao Fan.

"Zi Yan?"

Xiao Fan was somewhat surprised to see Zi Yan here, then smiled and said to her, "What are you doing here?"

"Of course, this is a place for cultivation!"

Zi Yan rolled her eyes at Xiao Fan, then walked up to him with a serious expression, raised her chin at Liu Qing, and said arrogantly, "What, are you going to bully Xiao Fan?"

Upon seeing Zi Yan appear, a hint of apprehension flashed across Liu Qing's face. He hadn't expected that this brute force king would actually step forward to protect Xiao Fan.

Frowning slightly, Liu Qing forced a smile and said to Zi Yan, "Senior Sister Zi Yan, you've misunderstood. It's just a misunderstanding."

A tall, muscular young man who had just exuded a sharp and domineering aura was now respectfully addressing a girl who only reached his waist and looked to be twelve or thirteen years old as "senior sister."

A fawning smile appeared on his face, a sight that astonished both Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan.

However, to the students around him, all of this seemed to be taken for granted, and no one thought there was anything wrong with Liu Qing's attitude.

Even Yao Sheng, who had just expressed great admiration for Liu Qing, shrank back into the crowd after seeing Zi Yan, not daring to show his face.

"Hey, didn't I tell you I'm protecting you? If anyone bullies you, you tell me!"

Zi Yan put her hands on her hips, turned around and said angrily to Xiao Fan, "I'll stand up for you and teach them a lesson."

Hearing Zi Yan's words, the people around looked at Xiao Fan with resentment.

If you had told me earlier that you knew the little witch, who would have watched your show!

On the other side, Liu Qing frowned slightly upon hearing Zi Yan's words.

If Xiao Fan really reveals his true intentions, then he'll have no choice but to fight Zi Yan right here.

Considering Zi Yan's strange strength, even Liu Qing didn't want to confront her at this time.

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Xiao Fan, curious about his response.

"Hehe." Xiao Fan reached out and ruffled Zi Yan's hair, his tone full of affection.

"Don't worry, no one can bully me."

Everyone stared blankly at Xiao Fan's hand on Zi Yan's head, even Liu Qing was no exception.

Zi Yan hates it when people hit her on the head, which is common knowledge in the inner courtyard.

Seeing that Xiao Fan had actually violated Zi Yan's taboo in front of everyone, everyone was filled with anticipation.

"Go ahead and beat this guy to a pulp!"

"He touched your head, go punch him!"

However... what everyone expected did not happen. Zi Yan simply shook her head, and when she saw that she couldn't shake Xiao Fan's hand off, she didn't care.

She just looked at Xiao Fan and said in a childish voice, "I don't care, even if I didn't help you, you still have to make pills for me."

"OK, no problem."

Xiao Fan said nonchalantly.

Xiao Fan truly doted on Zi Yan as if she were a younger sister. She looked delicate, was easy to fool... cough cough... and was cute.

What grown man could resist a sister like that?

Liu Qing was somewhat surprised that Xiao Fan hadn't complained to Zi Yan, and his opinion of Xiao Fan improved somewhat.

After giving Xiao Fan a deep look, he turned and left with Yao Sheng and the others behind him.

Seeing that Liu Qing and the others had already left, and with Zi Yan around, the onlookers had no desire to stay any longer. Otherwise, if they accidentally offended this young lady, they would really be in trouble.

The crowd dispersed in twos and threes.

After the crowd had left, Xiao Fan looked at Lin Yan, who was standing beside him with a wry smile, and patted him on the shoulder. He then looked at Zi Yan suspiciously and asked, "Is Zi Yan really that scary? Isn't she quite cute?"
