At the same time in the Fan Clan, Fan Qiuming welcomed three uninvited guests.
In the middle of the night, these three people showed up inside his bedroom without meeting any resistance. Although they gave him a fright, he still faced them while maintaining his composure.
“You, who are you people.”
A well-endowed woman with ravishing looks walked forward. She looked to be just over twenty years of age, and her red lips were painted so brightly that it looked like blood at a glimpse.
“I heard that this young brother from the Fan Clan also went to the Mystic Beast Forest secret realm last time.”
Fan Qiuming’s heart trembled along with his body as he gazed at that woman and her companions in terror.
The fact that these three people could infiltrate into their Fan Clan without alerting anyone proved that they possessed higher cultivation than everyone in the Fan Clan.
Fan Qiuming felt that he might not be able to see tomorrow’s sunrise if he didn’t satisfy the woman’s questions.
Hence, he answered the woman honestly with a nod. “Yes.”
The woman giggled as she walked her supple fingers up Fan Qiuming’s shoulder and laid on him, smiling, “Sister wants to ask you something, okay. Sister heard that there is a very valuable Xuanji Core inside this Mystic Beast Forest secret realm. Did anyone obtain it?”
However, Fan Qiuming reflexively shook his head.
The woman promptly turned hostile as she slapped his face. She stated frigidly, “Think carefully before answering.”
Fan Qiuming shuddered from the pain in his face as he rapidly shook his head again, explaining, “Th-There really wasn’t, the entire secret realm collapsed not long after we entered. How could anyone have obtained…”
As he spoke, he recalled something and paused.
The woman’s eyes brightened, and she supported her arm on Fan Qiuming’s shoulder while coaxing like a trickster, “Young brother, you have to think carefully. There is a lot at stake for you and your clan. Hm?”
*Bam!* Fan Qiuming’s door was suddenly kicked open.
In his surprise, Fan Qiuming glanced at the door, where he saw his elder brother gazing coldly at the three people inside the room.
“Hehe, I didn’t expect there to actually be someone in the Fan Clan who could detect our presence,” the woman giggled as she winked at Fan Qiuhe.
“You are calling on the Fan Clan so late at night to ask after the whereabouts of the Xuanji Core?” Fan Qiuhe questioned with a cold expression.
“That’s right, could it be that you are privy to this information?” The woman sized him up suspiciously before concluding with a shake of her head, “It is impossible for you to enter the Mystic Beast Forest secret realm at your age.”
“Qiuming, tell them the truth.” Fan Qiuhe secretly sent a look to his younger brother.
Fan Qiuming also happened to have realized something at this time and said with a nod, “Before the secret realm collapsed, there was only one person who entered Senior Xuanji’s small cottage.”
“But it remains unknown whether she obtained the Xuanji Core or not,” Fan Qiuming added.
“Oh? Who was it.” A predatory glint danced in the woman’s eyes, and her entire body was taut.
“The crown prince consort.”
The woman’s eyes glimmered as she curved her lips that were as crimson as blood. “From the looks of it, we have to make a trip into the palace.”
“There is no need.” Fan Qiuhe’s gaze flickered as he shook his head.
