Accidentally invincible!

Sure enough.

His words made the expressions of the talented cultivators around him look quite unpleasant.

They had their own intentions toward the Flower List Immortal, yet this kid had taken advantage of several of them. How could they not be furious?

But this was the Heavenly Court, not a place where they could act recklessly. Moreover, the opponent was formidable, and they all knew about War King's defeat.

If they fought, it was hard to say who would die and who would win.

Lin Fan said, "I'm feeling a bit hungry, so I won't chat with everyone for long. Since we're all here because of the Heavenly Secret Realm, we'll have plenty of chances to meet. No rush, I'll take my leave for now."

War King and the others watched Lin Fan's departing figure, their gazes filled with malice.

Damn bastard.

They truly wanted revenge.

"Brother Zhan, after being humiliated like this, have you considered revenge?" one of the young talents asked.

War King replied, "Of course I have, but his strength is undeniably strong. If you all could assist me, success would be certain."

...

Inside the restaurant.

Xiang Fei said earnestly, "Brother Qin, you really need to temper your temperament. After all, Brother Lin and I can't always be by your side forever."

Qin Yang responded, "Brother Xiang, to tell you the truth, if it weren't for worrying about affecting you and Brother Lin, I would've already taught that War King a lesson earlier. Honestly, I never joke when it comes to these things."

Damn it!

Xiang Fei, who normally never cursed, felt tempted to explode after dealing with Qin Yang.

Slap!

Lin Fan smacked Qin Yang's head angrily, "Eat your food and stop acting cool."

The little girl buried her head in her meal, her demeanor cold and detached.

The caterpillar lay on the table gnawing on a bone, looking pitiful. It wasn't even sure what it was in their eyes.

A bug?

Or a pet?

They chose a spot on the second floor by the window. Lin Fan rested his chin on his hand, gazing out with a deep and enigmatic expression.

Xiang Fei assumed Brother Lin was pondering something significant.

In truth, he had no idea that…

Lin Fan was watching the female cultivators coming and going, silently critiquing them. They looked nice, but compared to the Flower List Immortal, they fell short.

Heavenly Court.

A servant, head lowered, entered a courtyard and approached a refined young man, respectfully saying, "Young Emperor, the matter you asked me to investigate has been done."

"He has arrived at the Heavenly Court and is currently in the Immortal City, but they came in with Senior Brother Han Li of Yin Immortal Mountain."

The servant didn't understand why the Young Emperor paid attention to these people. He knew about Yin Immortal Mountain's reputation—it was an unwelcome faction in the Immortal Realm, and anyone affiliated with them likely wasn't much better.

The Young Emperor laughed, "He left without saying goodbye, making me wait for so long."

What he cared most about was Lin Fan, the prodigy who gave him a sense of pressure. He was deeply curious about his identity and origins.

"Alright, you may go." The Young Emperor waved his hand.

The Heavenly Secret Realm was opening, and prodigies from the Four Domains were gathering here. He had many plans in his mind, but now that he knew Lin Fan had arrived, he wasn't in a hurry to meet him.

"Yes, Young Emperor." The servant retreated quietly.

Inside the restaurant.

Xiang Fei was leisurely eating when he suddenly paused, his gaze shifting toward a familiar sight at the distant end of the street. Though he quickly retracted his gaze, acting as if he hadn't seen anything.

To avoid being noticed by the other party.

But that quick glance still alerted the other side. The person, with sharp intuition, suddenly lifted their head and spotted Xiang Fei's face at the restaurant's second-floor window.

Their expression subtly changed, and they tugged on the person next to them.

"Do you know who I just saw?"

"Who?"

"The long-missing Xiang Fei."

"How's that possible? Didn't the Tiangang Organization claim to have killed him? Are you sure you didn't mistake someone else?"

"Want to find out? Let's go take a look."

Inside the restaurant.

Lin Fan asked, "Brother Xiang, why the grim face? Who did you see?"

"It's nothing," Xiang Fei shook his head.

Qin Yang glanced at him and complained, "We're all in this together, so what's there to hide? Do you not think of us as your people anymore?"

Han Li said, "I just saw a familiar face. I'll step out and come back shortly."

He sensed that it was his presence that made Xiang Fei unwilling to say anything.

Xiang Fei explained, "It's really nothing, just some familiar faces from my clan. I didn't expect them to show up in the Heavenly Court."

It didn't take much thought to realize this was yet another story of family drama.

Before long, voices echoed from the staircase.

"Who was just watching us so intently? Turns out it's our dear Xiang Fei. Where have you been all these years? The people in the clan have been searching tirelessly for you."

A man with a smirk walked up to their table, placing both palms on it, causing the wine in their cups to spill over onto the surface.

Xiang Fei's expression grew dark. "Xiang Hu, what's your purpose?"

Xiang Hu chuckled, "No purpose, just wanted to take a look."

Then, he turned his gaze toward Lin Fan and the others.

With a sneer, he said, "You left the clan and ended up hanging out with this bunch? Doesn't seem like much. Honestly, you look like a stray dog now; who could you possibly befriend?"

Thud!

Xiang Hu placed his palm on Qin Yang's head, gently patting it. "And you, my friend. You'd better be more careful. Associating with the wrong people could lead to bad luck."

"What the f***!" Qin Yang's eyes widened as he slammed a hand on the table and turned angrily to glare at him. "Do you even know who I am, daring to lay your hand on my head?"

Xiang Hu feigned surprise before bursting into laughter. "Didn't expect you to have a temper. I guess being around people like this has turned you into quite the troublemaker."
