Chapter 290: Chapter 290

The Ye Family fell from their godly pedestal among the Four Great Families of Huaxia Country overnight.

It was just one night, just as the Ding Family had been ruined overnight because of Ding Fan—a cycle of history repeating itself...

With the Ye Family stepping down from their divine altar, the other major families of Yanjing began to probe into the vacancy left behind. It was clear to the discerning eye that Yanjing was about to go through a period of chaos.

There would be a new division of the cake, a reestablishment of power...

In a short period of time, Ding Fan's name once again resounded through Yanjing, a giant who had pulled the Ye Family down from their altar...

Although the outside world was highly concerned about Ding Fan, he himself had no interest in these matters. He didn't care about the rise and fall of the secular world; had it not been for Ye Qingyun provoking him this time around, Ding Fan would not have turned against the Ye Family, let alone pulled them off their divine throne.

Ding Fan returned to the military district guesthouse. His battle with Ye Qingyun had left him with severe injuries—after all, killing an Earth Level Expert was no easy feat.

It must be understood that if it hadn't been for Ding Fan's sudden enlightenment which propelled him to the Sixth Level of Qi Cultivation, he would have had no chance of defeating Ye Qingyun. Also, without the Nine Luminaries Fire from Tiantian, victory would have been even more unattainable for Ding Fan.

In Ding Fan's view, luck played a significant part in his victory over a third-grade Earth Level warrior.

This battle against a third-grade Earth Level cultivator made it even more apparent to Ding Fan that, whether on Earth or in the Cultivation World, one's cultivation was of utmost importance.

So, in the days since returning to the military district compound, Ding Fan spent his time cultivating as well as healing.

Ding Fan did not believe that Ye Qingyun was the strongest on Earth. He was sure that within the Hidden Sects, there were many more formidable than Ye Qingyun, and he even thought it plausible that there were those at the godly echelon.

Therefore, Ding Fan knew he must elevate his own cultivation level. Only then could he hope to survive longer in this world.

During the time Ding Fan spent healing, Ye Ningqing and Mu Zi were constantly taking care of him.

Since the day of the great battle with Ye Qingyun, Ye Ningqing had not returned to the Ye Family.

Ye Ningqing, not being of the principal line of the Ye Family and not held in high esteem there, had grown up in the 3567 regiment with little attachment to the Ye Family. The claims by Ye Qingyun to disown her and even his attempt to kill her had deeply wounded her, leaving her indifferent to the fate of the Ye Family.

This was precisely why Ning Qing had remained speechless during Ding Fan's killing of Ye Qingyun.

That morning, after a night's worth of meditation and breathing exercises, Ning Qing had already brought breakfast for Ding Fan.

It had become a routine over these days for Ning Qing to deliver meals when it was time to eat.

"Brother Fan, you look much better today," Ye Ningqing said as she set down the food and looked over at Ding Fan. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝘯𝘦𝘵

Ding Fan simply nodded. He had consumed a substantial amount of Medicine Pills and Crystal Stones over the past days, and it would have been a shame if his health had not improved.

"Do you have time to go out with me today?"

Ding Fan had been cooped up at home for some time and had been thinking about going out for a walk. The weather was nice today; it was the perfect opportunity for him to do so.

Ning Qing was startled—she hadn't expected Ding Fan to take the initiative to ask her out for a stroll.

Having been a solitary person since childhood, Ning Qing had never had someone who entered her heart until Ding Fan. Now, being invited out by him, she blushed deeply and uncontrollably.

"I... I don't have anything to do, so let's go out together..." Perhaps due to excitement, Ning Qing's words were somewhat jumbled. Worried that Ding Fan might notice, she quickly turned around, pretending to tidy up the room.

"All right, after breakfast we can set off," Ding Fan said, oblivious to Ning Qing's unease.

"Where are we going? Brother Fan, you're so biased, going out and not calling me!" At this time, Mu Zi had not arrived, but her voice was already coming in.

Mu Zi had become Ding Fan's shadow, always following him around except when he slept or used the restroom. Although having a cute and pretty girl clinging to him was pleasant, Mu Zi's persistent presence in front of Ding Fan every day was also exhausting.

"Brother Fan, I'm telling you, no matter where you go, you have to take me with you, otherwise I'll be upset," Mu Zi moved to Ding Fan's side, wrapping his arm around her chest and cooing flirtatiously.

Mu Zi also had considerable assets, and as Ding Fan's arm wobbled against her chest, even he couldn't help feeling a tingling sensation...

The last time when Ding Fan fought Ye Qingyun.

Elder Mu had repeated to Mu Zi the scene of Ding Fan's fierce battle with Ye Qingyun, leaving her utterly fascinated. She regretted not being there that day.

That day, when Ye Qingyun sought to hunt Ding Fan, Elder Shen had given Mu Zi a mission to hide Li Shuying and Song Tao, who had rescued Ding Fan, from Ye Qingyun's wrath.

It was precisely because of this that I missed the fight between Ding Fan and Ye Qingyun that day.

And it wasn't that which truly annoyed Mu Zi, what really frustrated Mu Zi was that after that breathtaking fight, both Elder Shen and Elder Mu received quite a few Human Pinnacle Warrior level Magic Artifacts gifted by Ding Fan. Moreover, he gave them a generous amount of Medicine Pills.

Even Ye Ningqing received a Treasured Sword named the Crimson Blood, which Ouyang Zi claimed to be his best-refined Magic Artifact...

Mu Zi slapped her thigh, lamenting that there's meat to be had by following Ding Fan, but due to her inattention, these fat pieces had slipped away from her mouth.

So now, Mu Zi had made up her mind, no matter what, she was going to stick by Ding Fan's side, and unless Ding Fan sent her away, she wouldn't mind sharing a bed with him.

"We'll go check on Li Shuying and her son later..." Ding Fan said.

Last time, to avoid Ye Qingyun's pursuit, they had placed them in a residential area that was not easily noticed by others. Many days had passed, and Ding Fan felt it was probably time to check on the mother and son.

"I want to go, I want to go... Brother Fan, I'm coming with you, you have to take me!" As Mu Zi spoke, she shook Ding Fan's arm and acted coquettishly.

Ding Fan's arm was rubbing against Mu Zi's chest. Ding Fan was not a lecher, so at that moment, he was quick to respond, "Okay, I'll take you with me."

"Yay!" Seeing Ding Fan agree, Mu Zi instantly jumped up and then darted over to Ye Ningqing's side and hugged her.

"Sister Ning Qing, the three of us will go together!"

Ye Ningqing had thought she was going to spend the day alone with Ding Fan, but unexpectedly, Mu Zi had appeared halfway. However, she didn't feel it was appropriate to complain and just smiled, "After we have eaten, let's go together."

"I had already eaten before I came here..." After saying that, Mu Zi once again began circling around Ding Fan.

The relationship between Tiantian and Mu Zi was getting better, so during the time Ding Fan was eating, Tiantian ended up playing with Mu Zi.

"Brother Fan, this is what my grandfather asked me to give you. Take good care of it..."

Ding Fan finished his meal quickly, and at this point, Mu Zi tossed a small red booklet in front of him.

Ding Fan took the booklet. It had three words written on it. Military ID.

Opening the Military ID, there was a photo of him without a hat, though Ding Fan could not remember when he had taken such a photo, nor did he know where Elder Shen had obtained it from.

Below the photo, it read: Name, Ding Fan, Gender, Male... Rank, Major. Belonging to Unit 3567...

Next to this basic information, there was a large black seal with "********" written on it.

Ding Fan closed the Military ID and looked puzzledly at Mu Zi next to him.

"Brother Fan, my grandfather said that this ID can save you some trouble on a daily basis. Whether you want to join Unit 3567 is entirely up to you. If you're willing, my grandfather says he's ready to offer you the position of deputy head. Elder Shen means that if you decide to join Unit 3567, he'll give you the position of head...

Nonetheless, whether you join or not, this ID will always be yours, and the door to Unit 3567 is always open for you," Mu Zi said while playing with Tiantian.

"All right, I'll consider it," Ding Fan said, and promptly pocketed the little red booklet.

How could Ding Fan not know what Elder Shen and Elder Mu were hinting at? They both hoped that he would join Unit 3567. Today, Mu Zi was simply sent to probe his intentions.

As for whether to join Unit 3567, Ding Fan really hadn't decided yet, but one thing was certain: having this ID could resolve some issues.

In this world, relying solely on force has its limitations. Now that he had this little booklet, he had an added layer of protection. Thus, there was no way Ding Fan would refuse it.

After putting away the red booklet, Ding Fan, along with Ye Ningqing and Mu Zi, quickly got ready and left the house.

Li Shuying and her child were personally settled by Mu Zi, so she was quite clear about their whereabouts. On this journey, it was Mu Zi who led the way.

Mu Zi drove the car, making several turns, until Ding Fan started feeling a bit disoriented, finally stopping in front of an inconspicuous small residential area.

This neighborhood was far from the city center, and reaching it required passing through several streets and alleys. It seemed Mu Zi had indeed put a lot of thought into securing Li Shuying's safety.

The three of them got out of the car, and not long after entering the neighborhood, they heard a child's crying from the direction of the park.

Ding Fan felt that the child's cries sounded familiar. His Divine Sense quickly swept over the area, and soon, he discovered it was indeed Song Tao who was crying.

At this moment, a middle-aged muscular man was pointing at Li Shuying and yelling something.

"Let me tell you, I'm Black Boss in this neighborhood, and I say what goes. If you want to stay, stay; if you don't, get lost!"...
