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

Upon seeing Xiao Fan, Lin Ya smiled and stepped forward, nodding repeatedly at him.

"Good lad, it's been a year since we last met. I was thinking that once I reached the Dou Wang level, I would definitely be able to beat you. I never expected that you would actually reach the Dou Huang level directly."

Speaking of Xiao Fan's strength, Lin Yan still couldn't help but sigh.

He thought that Xiao Fan had been swallowed by the fire python and had barely escaped with his life, which was already a stroke of luck. However, he also thought that this year had probably been wasted and that Xiao Fan's strength would fall behind his own.

But unexpectedly, Xiao Fan's strength not only did not decline, but instead made amazing progress, directly reaching the Dou Huang level!

Thinking of this, Lin Yan couldn't help but look at Xiao Fan with curiosity.

Xiao Fan didn't hide much from the two of them, but simply repeated what he had told the Grand Elder to them.

Then Xiao Fan said to Lin Yan, "I didn't expect that you would join the Panmen and even become a Grand Protector."

"hey-hey."

Lin Yan smiled at Xiao Fan and then said, "Anyway, I'm just killing time. Besides, the benefits at Panmen are so good, I wonder how many people want to join but don't have the chance yet."

While the group was chatting and laughing, You Ruo quietly sent a message to Xiao Fan, and then disappeared without a trace.

Inside the inner courtyard, Xiao Fan wasn't worried about her safety. Besides, with her Dou Zong strength, she could basically move around freely.

After a long pause, seeing Hu Jia's hesitant expression, Xiao Fan asked curiously, "Hu Jia, is there anything you want to say?"

Hu Jia glanced at Xiao Fan, and despite feeling somewhat resentful, she still spoke up, "Didn't you notice that many people have disappeared from the inner courtyard this time?"

Hu Jia stared intently at Xiao Fan, curious about his reaction.

Xiao Fan blinked after hearing Hu Jia's words, scratched his head in confusion, and said, "I know, the Grand Elder told me that many inner court students are now in the Black Corner Region."

"No, it's not that. Didn't you notice? Yueyao is gone."

Hu Jia's eyes were filled with anger, her arms were crossed over her chest, and her gaze towards Xiao Fan was somewhat dangerous.

"what?"

After hearing Hu Jia's words, Xiao Fan belatedly asked, "She...didn't she go to the Black Corner Region?"

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan suddenly had a bad feeling. She wouldn't...

Xiao Fan looked at Hu Jia with a sense of unease, his eyes filled with deep doubt.

Seeing Xiao Fan's expression, Hu Jia understood that Xiao Fan had misunderstood. However, she was still a little happy for Yue Yao. At least Xiao Fan wasn't the kind of person who would get bored with the old and crave the new. Bah, getting bored with the new is obviously not good either.

But thinking about the terrifyingly powerful woman who was by Xiao Fan's side, even Hu Jia had to admit that no one would dislike such an outstanding girl, right?

"Alright, it's not what you think. Yueyao is fine."

Hu Jia looked at Xiao Fan and said in a muffled voice.

Hearing that it wasn't the situation he had imagined, Xiao Fan felt relieved. As for the girl who had taken the initiative to approach him during the inner court selection competition, Xiao Fan couldn't say that he liked her that much at first. It was just that he was attracted by her appearance and had some vanity in his heart.

However, as they spent more time together, Yueyao's gentle and weak nature, as well as the occasional sadness and disappointment she revealed, had deeply impressed Xiao Fan.

During their time together, Xiao Fan had already decided that no matter what happened, he would protect Yue Yao. Since she wasn't strong enough, she could just stay behind him.

"So what you just said means..."

Xiao Fan looked at Hu Jia and couldn't help but wonder where Yue Yao had gone.

He hadn't thought much about it before, but now that he thought about it, the Black Corner Region was extremely dangerous, and Yueyao wasn't good at fighting, so she probably wouldn't go there. However, he didn't see Yueyao in the inner courtyard either.
