Chapter 1139: The Sun Family's Backhand

Li Fan lay on the bed with his eyes closed, as if he had not heard Wu Ninglu's words at all.

Wu Ninglu's beautiful eyes turned, and she was about to take off her clothes and climb onto the bed.

However, just as her body was about to get close to Li Fan, a bone-chilling chill made her shiver uncontrollably and she instinctively moved away.

Upon closer inspection, Wu Ninglu was horrified to find that a layer of frost had condensed on the surface of her skin at that moment.

If she hadn't dodged subconsciously, Wu Ninglu had no doubt that she would have been frozen into a popsicle by her husband!

She was both happy and angry.

There were thousands of things he hadn't said yet, but he heard Li Fan suddenly say calmly: "I just broke through, and I can't control my power perfectly. You'd better not get close to me casually recently."

Although her offer of warmth was rejected, Wu Ninglu was no longer angry.

He nodded with joy, "Okay, okay. I didn't expect that you, Sun Lang, disappeared for more than half a year, and you gave me such a big surprise when you appeared again. This is such a big event, we must inform the whole clan."

Wu Ninglu was about to go out, but she saw an ice wall blocking the door, blocking her way.

He turned around and looked at Li Fan.

Li Fan still didn't open his eyes, but said something that seemed irrelevant.

"Have the three elders of the family decided on who will take up the post at the Dharma Protector Hall?"

Wu Ninglu was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted.

"Of course the head of the family couldn't leave. The eldest uncle and the third uncle blamed each other for a long time. Not long ago, it was said that the eldest uncle finally gave in and compromised..."

Having said that, Wu Ninglu couldn't help but retract the foot she had already stepped forward.

"We are not well-received in the clan. If the news of my promotion to the Hedao gets out, I'm afraid I will have to go to the Dharma Protector Hall on their behalf. I can't go out for at least three hundred years..."

"snort."

"If I hadn't been injured during the promotion process, my realm was unstable, and I was afraid of being discovered by outsiders and picking the fruit. I wouldn't have come back rashly."

Li Fan sighed slightly.

"Although both the clan and the Immortal Alliance will give me some material compensation when I take up my post at the Guardian Hall, those are basically useless to me. Besides, three hundred years is really too long."

Li Fan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Wu Ninglu.

"So please don't let anyone know about my promotion for now."

When Wu Ninglu met Li Fan's eyes, her body trembled violently and she nodded involuntarily.

Li Fan closed his eyes and rested again.

The room fell into silence again.

The looming icy ground forced Wu Ninglu to use almost all of her spiritual power to maintain her body temperature.

Curled up in the corner of the room, Wu Ninglu felt both aggrieved and envious.

"Is this the power of He Dao? I didn't expect that he would be able to be promoted to He Dao one day. I originally thought that Sun Weizhou would be the first to break through among the younger generation."

Wu Ninglu looked at her husband who was recuperating and practicing, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind.

Even until the other person's fluctuating breath gradually calmed down, he was still talking and still meditating with his eyes closed.

Only then did Wu Ninglu sulk and quietly walk out of the house.

…

"If I'm not mistaken, this stupid woman will soon reveal that her Taoist partner is already a powerful Taoist master."

"It's just that I'm attracted by the little bit of benefit that Sun Luchang promised."

"It can't be said that she is really stupid. After all, the benefits that are in one's hands are real. As long as Sun Ang is a powerful Hedao master, no matter where she is, others will be polite to her, Madam Hedao." Li Fan's eyes were dim, as if he could see through time.

It was just as Li Fan expected.

Half a month later, when Wu Ninglu saw with her own eyes the various favorable conditions that her uncle and third uncle promised each other in order to avoid serving in the Dharma Protector Hall, she couldn't help but be tempted.

You know, she and Sun Ang didn't have a very good life in the past.

I have no say in the decisions made in the family, and any good things always get taken by others first.

However, because of Li Fan's previous instructions, she did not speak directly.

But Wu Ninglu's somewhat abnormal expression could not escape the eyes of several members of the Sun family.

In addition, there was the slight fluctuation that Li Fan deliberately emitted when he came back before.

This made them have vague guesses in their hearts.

After some questioning, Wu Ninglu reluctantly told the story.

Sun Luchang was overjoyed and immediately pulled his two brothers to come over.

Li Fan pretended to show a helpless and angry expression and looked at Wu Ninglu.

The three elders of Hedao took the initiative to excuse her.

Then they persuaded Li Fan with emotional appeals and logical explanations.

For the overall interests of the family, he finally had to agree to take up the position in the Guardian Hall.

"Don't worry, Lu'er. During the time you are away, we will take good care of Ninglu and will not let her suffer any grievances." Sun Luchang promised.

Lu'er is Sun Ang's nickname.

Logically speaking, as fellow Hedao cultivators, even if they were elders, it would not be appropriate to call them by their nicknames as before. However, Sun Luchang still called them that, just to remind him that "Sun Ang" was still a member of the Sun family.

In order to ensure that Sun Ang could pass the review of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, the three members of the Sun family joined forces to test Sun Ang's actual combat power.

Li Fan just focused on defense, occasionally casting one or two spells that were not very powerful.

After persisting for several hundred rounds, he gradually showed signs of exhaustion.

"Lu'er, the soul of heaven and earth you devoured is really quite impressive. Although its offensive power is a bit weak, the field that freezes everything around it can block most offensive means."

The three Hedao masters of the Sun family were very satisfied with Li Fan's performance.

Even if he is a newly promoted Hedao, such strength is enough to report to the Immortal Alliance.

Before Li Fan went to the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, he quietly called Wu Ninglu to his side.

"I know you've been avoiding me lately. Are you afraid that I'll blame you?"

"How could that be?"

"In fact, I also know that even if you don't tell me, I can't hide my promotion to the Hedao for long. Some things are unavoidable."

"Besides, you and I are one. It's nothing for me to work hard for three hundred years to gain some benefits for you."

Wu Ninglu was so surprised by Li Fan's words that she was stunned.

Even a little touched.

"You should be careful while I'm away."

"Those old guys at home may say nice things, but it's not certain what they actually say."

"During this trip, I made a good friend. He helped me a lot in making the breakthrough."

Li Fan said as he handed over a communication jade talisman.

"If you encounter something that you can't solve, contact him."

"He should be able to help you resolve it."

"But this person is also a Hedao cultivator, and his temperament is a bit strange. Don't ask him for anything unless it's absolutely necessary."

"Remember, remember."
