Ancient Ancestral Gods

"What, you're scared? You want to be a turtle who hides in its shell? What a joke!" Si Jingxin ridiculed Xiao Fan with a look of contempt.    

They originally thought that Xiao Fan would be as arrogant as usual, and wanted to go against him.    

That would be perfect for him. He would be able to give Xiao Fan a good beating, embarrass Xiao Fan, and vent the anger in his heart.    

Unfortunately, the plot did not go according to his plan, and Xiao Fan actually became a coward.    

"Do you think my retreat is laughable?" Xiao Fan calmly looked at Si Jingxin, and it seemed as if he wasn't the slightest bit angry.    

"Is that not the case? If you don't submit, if you aren't afraid of this prince, then according to your arrogant character, you should be able to retaliate against me." Si Jingxin said with a smile that was not a smile.    

In his eyes, Xiao Fan's current performance was equivalent to admitting defeat. He was afraid of him, or else Xiao Fan would have retaliated against him instead.    

The reason why I retreated was not because I'm afraid of you, but because I'm giving the Seventh Prince face. The Seventh Prince had invited me to participate in the banquet, and as a guest, how could I possibly cause trouble?    

On the other hand, you, as a branch of the royal family, not only didn't give face to the Seventh Prince, but also caused trouble on your own accord. You don't think that the Seventh Prince's position is lower than yours, and you can do whatever you want in his territory. Xiao Fan stared at Si Jingxin, and reprimanded him with righteous words.    

As a guest of the banquet, Xiao Fan naturally respected etiquette, and couldn't not give face to the banquet owner.    

Moreover, this banquet was held by the Seventh Prince. Since it was Xiao Fan's first time participating in the Seventh Prince's banquet, he couldn't disrespect him.    

Unfortunately, Si Jingxin treated his retreat as him admitting her wrongs and taking an inch for an inch, even wanting to force him to cause trouble.    

If it was somewhere else, Xiao Fan would not give in to him. If Si Jingxin came to find trouble, how could he retreat?    

But since this was the Seventh Prince's territory, he naturally had to give the Seventh Prince some face and at the very least leave him a good impression.    

"Xiao Fan is right, he knows some manners."    

When Xiao Fan's words came out, many people nodded their heads, agreeing with his words.    

This place was the territory of the Seventh Prince. The Seventh Prince's status was honorable. Everyone present should give face to the Seventh Prince.    

But Si Jingxin was making a ruckus here with the attitude of wanting to teach Xiao Fan a lesson. This kind of behavior was really not appropriate, it was disrespectful.    

The guest of honor was causing trouble at the Seventh Prince's banquet. How could he put up with the Seventh Prince's face like this?    

"Don't speak nonsense, why wouldn't I give the Seventh Prince face? Don't splash dirty water on him!" Si Jingxin's face turned as pale as a pig's liver once again, this bite of Xiao Fan's really hurt him.    

Just as Xiao Fan had said, he was merely a branch of the imperial family, a far cry from the genuine Seventh Prince.    

The hat Xiao Fan had given him was not light, he could not afford to offend the Seventh Prince.    

"Very good! Since you are unwilling, and want to cause trouble for me, then I shall do as you wish. Do you dare to accept the life and death battle challenge tomorrow? " Xiao Fan looked at Si Jingxin with ice-cold eyes.    

If this kind of person did not suppress him once, then there would be endless trouble in the future.    

Furthermore, from what Zhang Cong Rui knew, Si Jingxin was also not very strong, although she was at the third stage of the Fated Star Realm, her star vein was only at the first stage, and her energy source was extremely weak.    

Even if he did not use his buddhist seals and divine whip, it would be enough to defeat Si Jingxin.    

After the written challenge was sent out, everyone couldn't help but pay attention to it. It seemed like this time, there would be another show to watch.    

Everyone looked at Si Jingxin, whether or not she would be able to watch the match, it would depend on whether or not she dared to.    

"Since you have the courage, then I will accept." Si Jingxin could feel everyone's attention, after thinking for a while, she finally agreed.    

Si Jingxin agreed to battle, causing everyone to finally heave a sigh of relief, as they watched the show.    

In truth, it was hard for Si Jingxin to back down. If she did not agree to it, then she would be terrified.    

It must be known that he was at the third stage of the Fated Star Realm and Xiao Fan was only at the first stage of the Fated Star Realm.    

However, his agreement was not about face. He had heard of Xiao Fan's terror before, and he seemed to have the strength to fight a peak level two Fated Star.    

But no matter what, he was still at the third stage of the Fated Star Realm. Even though his power source was slightly weaker, he still believed that he was stronger than Xiao Fan, who was at the first stage of the Fated Star Realm.    

It was also because of this that he dared to accept Xiao Fan's challenge.    

"Alright, alright. Everyone, this prince didn't receive you fully. Please forgive me. The banquet is about to begin, everyone, please take your seats!"    

Just as the situation was awkward, Si Hao stepped out to mediate and said with an apologetic tone.    

Since the Seventh Prince had personally stepped forward, the crowd naturally gave him face and obediently took their seats.    

The banquet continued for four hours. All the nobles were toasting each other and chatting.    

Although Xiao Fan had become quite famous recently, there were still many people who rejected him and kept away from him.    

They all thought that he was just a nouveau riche, lacking in strength and reputation.    

However, under Zhang Cong Rui's introduction, they still got to know a lot of people, all of whom were powerful officials and descendants of the family.    

And Zhang Cong Rui's identity shocked Xiao Fan.    

It turned out that Zhang Cong Rui's father was one of the five elite armies of Da Xia Empire, and the Grand Yu Army's commander, Zhang Xie, held a high position and was in charge of six hundred thousand troops.    

The Da Yu Army was different from the Godly Armored Army. The Da Yu Army belonged to the founding army of the imperial family of Da Xia Empire.    

The fact that the royal family could hand over their new army to an outsider showed that Zhang Cong Rui's father was well trusted by the Emperor of Da Xia.    

There was also a rumor that Zhang Xie had a close relationship with the Emperor when he was young, and that he was a sworn brother.    

The current Emperor's throne was protected by Zhang Xi with all his might.    

Therefore, Zhang Xie's high status, the power of the Yu Yu army is reasonable.    

After a lonely night had passed, everyone left the table. They were planning to leave with Zhang Cong Rui and the others, but they were stopped by the seventh prince's steward, who said that he wanted to talk to him personally.    

Xiao Fan followed the butler of the palace all the way to a large building deep within the palace.    

This place was extremely quiet, and there were many guards guarding outside. It was likely that this was an extremely important place in the palace.    

Xiao Fan walked into the building and saw that Seventh Prince Si Hao was sitting up straight in the hall, talking about him with Xin Er and Qiu Er.    

"Brother Xiao, we have yet to formally greet you. We are truly sorry. I am the son of the royal family, Si Hao. I hope Brother Xiao will forgive me for the unhappiness that happened tonight." Si Hao went up to meet him, and said to Xiao Fan apologetically.    

"Seventh Prince, there's no need to be polite. What business do you have with me?" Xiao Fan smiled slightly, but glanced at Xin Er and Qiu Er.    

The two girls were also here. Perhaps the reason why the Seventh Prince had invited him to the banquet was because they wanted to discuss something later.    

"Brother Xiao is too straightforward, I will not make any turns. I have invited brother Xiao here to form an alliance with you to fight against our common enemy!" Si Hao directly asked.    

"What do you mean, ally with me and become our enemy? What do you mean by that, Seventh Prince?" Xiao Fan frowned slightly. Why did Seventh Prince Si Hao want to ally with him, and why did he say that they had a common enemy?
