Chapter 533: Chapter 533: The Ghost Essence’s Younger Uncle_1 Chapter 533: Chapter 533: The Ghost Essence’s Younger Uncle_1 Xu Yunji couldn’t believe what he was seeing, as if he were in a fantasy world.
“Gathering Flames!”
With a flip of his palm, Xu Fan suddenly produced a large ball of flame in his hand, which rapidly contracted into a fireball the size of a soccer ball.
The terrifyingly high temperature rushed towards him, nearly singeing Xu Yunji’s eyebrows and hair.
Xu Yunji quickly retreated as far back as Yue Qingjiang, but he still felt the heat wave assaulting him, as if he were on the verge of lava.
He couldn’t help thinking that this might be the legendary Inner Family True Fire; otherwise, how could it be so astoundingly hot?
It could probably melt metal and stone.
“Whoosh!”
The fireball suddenly shot out, landing with precision on a large tree tens of meters away.
Then, the tree quickly caught fire, the flames spreading so rapidly and ferociously that in mere four or five seconds, it was reduced to ashes.
Xu Yunji was at a loss for words, his mind overwhelmed by a surging tidal wave.
He just stood there, dazed and lost in thought.
Yue Qingjiang, on the other hand, reacted quite normally.
He had seen Xu Fan in combat before, so the display of Xu Fan’s might was still within his tolerance.

It was just that this close-up experience made it all the more vivid.
Xu Yunji had always been gallivanting all over the world, with no time to pay attention to domestic affairs, many of which were suppressed and not easily made known to the public.
So, upon witnessing the outrageous display by this emotional swindler—no, his cheap brother-in-law—he was absolutely astounded.
He swore he would never forget this scene in his lifetime.
Xu Fan controlling the wind, thunder, and flames was just too damn shocking.
Before, Xu Yunji had been very proud and confident in his own abilities, thinking he was strong at the Body Tempering Realm, and moreover, he was the Young Master of the Xu Family.
Thus, as he had grown up always having things his way, he always felt quite good about himself!
But at this moment, he truly felt that his own skills were indeed nothing more than child’s play.
Originally, he was filled with anger towards this emotional swindler and felt extremely indignant for his sister—an unparalleled beauty—believing that his brother-in-law, if not a dragon among men, ought to be stunningly talented.

Instead, he turned out to be a thoroughly philandering cat, so not only did he have no good feelings towards Xu Fan, but he also strongly resisted and loathed him.
His visit this time was for no other reason than to avenge his sister, to give this bastard a beating, and to warn him fiercely.
Only to find that this guy actually possessed extraordinary skills and was mind-blowingly awesome!
Despite Xu Yunji’s dashing and carefree appearance, he was actually very interested in martial arts, which is why he had persisted in cultivation and achieved some success to date.
Xu Fan’s performance was so astounding that it made Xu Yunji’s eyes spin with schemes, and on the spur of the moment, he slapped himself hard and said hatefully, “Brother-in-law, I was wrong.
How could I ever lay a hand on you?
You are my brother-in-law, after all…”
Xu Fan was momentarily stunned.
What was this guy up to?
Such a sudden change made him question in confusion, “What are you doing?”
Xu Yunji gave a sly grin, walking up familiarly and slinging his arm around Xu Fan, saying, “Brother-in-law, since ancient times, it has been normal for a man to have multiple wives and concubines.
Especially for someone as formidable as you, brother-in-law, it’s not an issue at all.
Of course, it’s better if my sister doesn’t find out about your mistress or affair, as she is the rightful empress.
In short, I understand and support your actions, and I’ll persuade my sister on your behalf.”
After speaking, he even flashed a knowing smile.
Xu Fan was full of black lines, pushing his brother-in-law away and glaring at him, “What are you talking about?
Where did I keep a mistress and engage in an affair?
I’m devoted to your sister and have never entertained thoughts of infidelity.
Can you please stop spouting nonsense!”
Xu Yunji laughed heartily, “Brother-in-law, I believe in you.
With your abilities, you could have any woman you want, yet you still talk like this.
You must not have done anything to be unfaithful to my sister.
I’ll definitely help you.”
“You little rascal, quite the smart one, huh?
Alright!” Xu Fan couldn’t help but take another look at Xu Yunji, this kid was quite sharp.
Yue Qingjiang, who had been enjoying the show, couldn’t help but touch his nose, thinking this young Xu was quite cunning.
Just now, Xu Yunji had deliberately mentioned having multiple wives and concubines.
How could it be his true feelings?
He had purposely used it to test Xu Fan.
If Xu Fan had taken the opportunity to step down, even if he hadn’t cheated now, he would definitely do so in the future, and Xu Yunji would never acknowledge him as his brother-in-law again.
But Xu Fan had earnestly declined, with such a sincere tone and an honest expression that it completely dispelled any doubts—Xu Fan was not lying.
“However, it’s useless just for me to believe you.
My sister doesn’t believe you.
If you can’t uncover the truth, this will never be cleared up.
Even if my sister chooses to forgive you, there will always be a seed of distrust planted in her heart.” Xu Yunji pondered, “What exactly happened?
Were you set up?”
“This matter can’t be explained in a moment or two, but I will definitely get to the bottom of it.
You go back and keep your sister company, and keep an eye on things for me,” Xu Fan said with a look of melancholy.
“Brother-in-law, you’re underestimating my sister.
She’s a lady of high status, she won’t do anything foolish.
If she truly loves you, she definitely can’t let go of you, and she won’t leave you because of this.
Besides, I’m here too, I’ll definitely try to persuade her a bit,” Xu Yunji appeared very proactive.
Xu Fan said speechlessly, “Weren’t you just about to beat me up a moment ago?
How come you have changed your tune so quickly?”
“Hehe…
that was then, this is now.
I didn’t know you before,” Xu Yunji chuckled.
“Pfft!” Yue Qingjiang couldn’t help but burst into laughter, and then bowed to Xu Fan, “Mr.
Xu, it’s an honor to meet you!”
“It’s been a while,” Xu Fan nodded slightly.
Yue Qingxuan also came over, her face a mix of embarrassment and anger, “Xu Fan, was that gust of wind your doing?”
Xu Fan smiled without a word.
Immediately, Yue Qingxuan’s face turned as red as the tip of her ears.
After thinking for a moment, she abruptly said, “Last time at the Underground Fist Manor, I lost a bet with you and owe you a meal.
Are you going to claim it or not?”
Hearing this, Xu Yunji couldn’t help but look doubtful, and his gaze shifted back and forth between their faces.
Yue Qingjiang didn’t dare let her cause any more trouble, so he quickly pulled Yue Qingxuan away and shook his head at her, signaling her to not speak carelessly.
Yue Qingxuan rolled her eyes speechlessly, pouted, and muttered something.
When she came back, she stood gracefully, a picture of a smiling, silent lady.
“Where’s Yixue now?” Xu Fan asked anxiously.
“She’s still at Junlin Grand Hotel, negotiating a deal with an investor,” Xu Yunji glanced at his watch and said, “It should be coming to a close.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than his phone rang.
He said in a low voice, “It’s my sister calling.”
Immediately, he pressed the answer button and answered cheerfully, “Sis, what’s up?”
“Where are you?
What are you doing?
Weren’t you hungry?
Why didn’t you finish even one bowl of rice?”
Xu Yixue’s voice came through in a series of questions, interspersed with Tongtong’s indistinct calling for uncle.
