No one had expected that the 6th generation Xu Tong from the Xu family would have a glimmer in her eyes, a hint of unusualness flashing across her eyes. However, no one, not even Xu Jincheng, had noticed it.

Xu Jincheng looked at Xu Fan on the bed and slightly frowned. His eyes also flashed with a strange light. However, the strange look in the eyes of these two people couldn't escape Xu Fan's eyes. He had observed the surroundings in his previous life, so he had a special sensitivity to his surroundings. When Xu Jincheng and Xu Tong's gaze fell upon Xu Fan, he suddenly had a strange thought: there seemed to be some unknown side of the Xu family.

Even so, when Xu Fan saw the concern in the eyes of the majority of the people in front of him, he still felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. There was a bit of unfamiliarity, a bit of warmth, a bit of fear, and at the same time, a bit of curiosity. However, Xu Fan had concealed his identity well. No one could tell that he was a fake Third Young Master of the Xu Family.

Xu Jincheng walked up to Xu Fan and grabbed his arm. Xu Fan suddenly felt a strange stream of air rush into his body from Xu Jincheng's hand. After that, the stream of air circulated throughout his body before returning to Xu Jincheng's hand from his arm.

"Fortunately, Fan'er, you didn't sustain any internal injuries. You'll be fine after a few days of rest." Xu Jincheng relaxed his eyebrows and turned to face the crowd: "Second brother, fourth brother, Fan'er has nothing to do, you guys go back first, if there is nothing special, you are not allowed to leave your duties. Recently in Dragon City, it has not been peaceful and all the forces are ready to make their move, we have to be on guard."

"Yes, Patriarch!" Everyone greeted Xu Fan and then left the room. After everyone had left, Xu Jincheng walked up to Xu Fan and said in a deep voice, "Fan'er, rest well. Don't go out for now."

Xu Fan nodded to himself. In reality, he couldn't accept the fact that he had suddenly become someone else, and even had an extra 'unlucky' father. Thus, he could only nod in agreement.

"The Xu Family has not been peaceful lately. Perhaps …" At this point, Xu Jincheng hesitated for a moment before pacing up and down the room as if he was considering something. After a long while, he said to Manager Wu: "You go out first, I have something to say to Third Young Master."

"Yes, Patriarch. This old servant will take his leave first!" Manager Wu responded and left the room, closing the door behind him. He then stood obediently a few feet away from the door, waiting for Xu Jincheng's summons while he secretly guarded the room for the Xu father and son.

In the room, only Xu Jincheng and Xu Fan were left. At this moment, Xu Fan thought back to how he had accidentally noticed the strange looks in Xu Jincheng's eyes and the girl who called him Third Brother's eyes. He couldn't help but secretly feel nervous.

However, Xu Jincheng's next sentence immediately dispelled Xu Fan's worries. As he was about to launch his attack, Xu Jincheng's voice suddenly rang out in his ears, "Fan'er, I am using a sound transmission to speak to you. Remember, you must not let anyone know of what I'm saying, and you must not trust anyone." Xu Fan's heart thumped, but he still woodenly nodded his head.

Xu Jincheng saw Xu Fan nod his head, and quickly fished out a black bag and passed it to him. He said in a deep voice, "Fan'er, you keep this bag first, it contains some important things. If anything happens to the Xu Family, you can open it later, and as for how to open this bag, you just need to follow the method I told you before.

Xu Fan inexplicably took the black pouch. He didn't dare to look at it closely, afraid that Xu Jincheng would notice something was amiss, so he just nodded and put it away.

At this time, Xu Jincheng sighed and asked, "Fan'er, do you know why you have been unable to breakthrough for so many years?" It wasn't right for Xu Fan to not speak. He shook his head: "Your son doesn't know!"

Xu Jincheng said, "That's because the cultivation technique you're practising is not some martial arts cultivation technique from the mortal world. It's the Xu Family's cultivation technique, Metal Elemental Art ."

Hearing this, Xu Fan's heart trembled violently. What kind of world was this? There was actually an Immortal cultivation technique. Could it be that he didn't transmigrate back to the ancient times, but had transmigrated to a strange world like the protagonists in the novels of YY?

At first, NND thought that when it was time for him to return to ancient times, he could rely on his foresight and historical knowledge to change the course of the world like those protagonists in YY novels. He could be a prophet or an ox, but he could also be a hoodlum.

Eh, Immortal cultivation? It doesn't seem bad either! Xu Fan suddenly thought of the word Immortal Cultivation. Even if his foreknowledge of history wasn't of any use, being able to become an Immortal practitioner wasn't a bad thing.

Just as Xu Fan was lost in his thoughts, Xu Jincheng slowly said, "Unfortunately, your Immortal Cultivation Spiritual Roots are too poor. Otherwise, you wouldn't be at Qi Disciple level 3 now, and in the future …" At this point, Xu Jincheng seemed to want to say something, but stopped in his tracks.

Xu Fan was very curious. He thought to himself, so the Immortal Cultivation Spirit Root in my body is actually very poor. What is this Immortal Cultivation Spirit Root? However, he did not dare to ask too much, lest he reveal himself.

Then, he heard Xu Jincheng continue, "Looking at the situation, our Xu Family has gradually lost control of Dragon City. He did not expect this turn of events to happen so quickly, and if anything happens to the Xu Family in the future, Fan'er, you must be careful not to trust anyone, even the people of our Xu Family. In short, Dad will not say too much about this matter.

Ever since he had woken up, it had not even been an incense stick's worth of time since he saw Xu Jincheng and the others. In such a short period of time, how could he have digested so many things? Furthermore, he had not even fully understood what sort of world he had arrived in, nor did he know what kind of family the Xu Family was.

But even so, Xu Fan still nodded and vaguely replied, "Dad, don't worry. I know what to do."

Hearing this, Xu Jincheng secretly sighed in his heart: "Alas, although this child is not my own son, he has always been raised by me all these years. It is a pity that this child has always been under my protection and I hope that after this Xu family calamity, this child will be able to escape and grow up as soon as possible."

His gaze fell on Xu Fan. There was reluctance, love, guilt, and a complicated yet inexplicable meaning mixed within.

"The arrow is on the bow, I have no choice but to fire it …" Xu Jincheng sighed again as he looked at Xu Fan and said, "Fan'er, rest well and get well as soon as possible. That Manager Wu has been Father's trusted aide for many years, so you can trust him, but the things that Father has just given you cannot be revealed to anyone, including Manager Wu."

"En!" With that, Xu Jincheng took a few steps towards the door, before turning his head and sending a message, "If something unexpected happens, you can leave through the secret path and head to the Northwest Tiger City to find your third uncle. Don't worry about me, the secret path is at the fake mountain that the Xu Family is protecting, and the thing that opens the secret path is the piece of jade that your father can make for you."

Finished speaking, Xu Jincheng turned around and walked out of the room.
