Chapter 395: There’s Someone On Top
After Bai Han and Lian Fangcheng left, Xue Hanxi did not stay any longer, nor did he persuade Xue Fanxin to return to the Xue family. He could understand her. If it were him, he would do the same.
Yi Fenyun was the last to leave. He was still thinking about the peach blossom pastry. He felt that Xue Fanxin would not mention it for no reason.
What was the relationship between the peach blossom pastry and Xue Fanxin?
No matter what, he had completed his mission. As long as Xue Fanxin did not become enemies with them, it was not important for the time being.

Xue Fanxin did not care what the people from the four great clans thought. She was happily counting her gains and sorting them in her space. When she saw the Nine Revolutions Soul Return Pill the Lian family had given her, she was a little curious. She took it out to study.
“The Nine Revolutions Soul Return Pill sounds powerful.”
“Of course it’s powerful. The Lian family only has one Nine Revolutions Soul Return Pill. They have kept it well. Even when the descendants of the Lian family are on the verge of death, they could not bear to take this pill out. I didn’t expect them to be so generous and gift the pill to you.” Xue Batian appeared after the representatives of the four great clans left. The moment he entered, he saw Xue Fanxin studying the Nine Revolutions Soul Return Pill, so he told her some things.
Although getting it should be a happy matter, it was strange. That might not be a good thing.
Xue Fanxin knew how to refine pills, but she did not know their grades. She realized how valuable the Nine Revolutions Soul Return Pill in her hand was from Xue Batian’s description.
“Grandpa, why do you think the Lian family gave it to me? The other families’ gifts are also valuable. Saving them is really worth taking out so many valuable things?” The more Xue Fanxin thought about it, the more she felt that the actions of the four great families were odd.
Something was wrong. Could it be that the four great clans were digging a pit for her to jump into?
But from what she could see, that was not the case. Instead, they looked like they were currying favor with her.
“Who knows what they’re up to? Xin’er, don’t be blinded by gold and silver. You have to be careful lest you fall into a trap. The four great families have been able to stand tall in Heavenly Saints City for thousands of years. The Heavenly Saints Empire has always been restrained by the four great families. Countless generations of Heavenly Saints Emperors have wanted to eliminate them and let the imperial authority be independent. Unfortunately, they have yet to succeed. I once heard Father mention that there is someone above the Xue family, but only the head of each generation knows the exact person, so I’m not very sure.”
“Someone above? Where?”
“I don’t know.” Xue Batian was not interested in the secrets of the four great clans. In his heart, the most important thing was his precious granddaughter. Nothing else mattered.
Xue Fanxin was the same. She did not want to waste any time and energy on the four great families. As she tallied the gifts, she asked, “Grandpa, why didn’t you tell me that Old Witch Xue is from the Prime Minister’s Estate? Her name is Su Wanlian. Was she as famous as Su Baifeng back then?”
“I thought I’d never cross paths with the Xue family or this woman again, so I didn’t want to mention her. After returning to the Tongxuan Realm, I entered seclusion. How could I have time to tell you about it?”
“Then you have time now. Tell me the story of your youth.”
