After giving a sigh, Lin Fan gave a cough that brought the kids back to reality.
The kids looked at each other before realizing their mistake.
They all had embarrassed looks, but Xiao Feng took the lead as he came over to the tied up Qing Bao Lan to help get rid of the ropes.
These ropes were special ropes that were actually artifacts that could suppress the cultivation of the ones that they tied up, otherwise with Qing Bao Lan's now Peak Embryo Soul Realm cultivation, there was no way that she would let herself be tied up like this by the kidnappers. If it had been normal rope, she would have already escaped.
After all, she was the descendant of one of the dragons with a pure dragon bloodline, so it wasn't a problem for her to deal with a Low Child Soul Realm beast.
With a simple flick of his wrist, there was a wind blade that cut right through the rope and freed Qing Bao Lan.
As soon as she was freed, without even taking out the gag in her mouth, she stood up and jumped at Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng was caught off guard, but then he quickly reacted as he dodged out of the way of Qing Bao Lan's tackle.
Qing Bao Lan went right past Xiao Feng and after using her full force to tackle him, she couldn't stop herself as she landed face first on the ground.
But even that didn't damper her determination as she stood up again and turned around to look at Xiao Feng like a carnivore stalking her prey. This look sent a chill down Xiao Feng's spine, but he did feel bad about dodging instinctively, so he let her grab his arm this time.
Lin Fan saw this and couldn't help shaking his head with a bitter smile.
It seemed like Xiao Feng still didn't understand the difference between girlfriend and friend who was a girl, but that wasn't strange given how young he was. His mind might have grown quickly because of his quick cultivation increase, but he was still chronologically less than two years old.
It wasn't strange at all if he wasn't as developed emotionally.
But there was no time for any of this since they had already captured the kidnappers.
Lin Fan wasn't sure if the kidnappers had any other accomplices that weren't here or if they had been tracked, so there would be reinforcements sent after they had been defeated, but he wasn't planning on staying here to find out.
Now that he had already saved Qing Bao Lan, there was no need for them to stay here any longer.
Since he couldn't bring Qing Bao Lan into the pet storage space like the rest of his pets, Lin Fan summoned one of the Nascent Soul Realm beasts for her to sit on. At the same time, since she wouldn't let go of Xiao Feng no matter what anyone said, Xiao Feng stayed out and rode on the Nascent Soul Realm beast with her.
With the speed that they had, they returned back to the palace in less than a quarter of the time it took them to find the kidnappers.
Of course, while they had been looking for the kidnappers, they had gone slowly because they had been following the kidnappers' tracks.
As soon as they returned and Qing Ao saw Qing Bao Lan, he immediately ran forward to take her in his embrace. However, Qing Bao Lan completely ignored him as she kept holding onto Xiao Feng's arm, rubbing up against him even though he had a clear uncomfortable look.
After a sad look flashed on his face, Qing Ao immediately started glaring at Xiao Feng like he was his sworn enemy. However, that didn't last long as he felt a chill run down his spine as Angela started glaring at him for glaring at Xiao Feng.
Then after glaring at Qing Ao, Angela turned her glare to Qing Bao Lan who was still holding Xiao Feng. As soon as she did though, Qing Bao Lan turned in the direction of Angela and met her glare straight on.
It was just like this that the two fought like discordant in laws.
Lin Fan just awkwardly stood on the side for a bit before he gave a cough to break them up.
They couldn't just stay here for that long since there were people that were attacking this place. Now that they had rescued Qing Bao Lan from the kidnappers, it was certain that there would be retaliation from the people behind these kidnappers.
Lin Fan didn't want to be here when that time came…
Qing Ao came back to his senses after hearing Lin Fan's cough and he gave a cough himself before coming to Lin Fan to say, "Brother Lin, thank you for your help." Then after a pause, he said in an awkward voice, "However, I still have something else that I need your help with."
Lin Fan slightly knitted his brows when he heard this, but he still asked in a calm voice, "What is it?"
Qing Ao didn't reply right away and instead brought out a map that he spread out in front of Lin Fan.
This was a map of the entire Galactic Humanity Alliance.
He raised his finger and made two marks on the map before saying, "I need your help in checking in with some of my allies."
Lin Fan was surprised to hear Qing Ao say that he had allies.
Seeing the surprised and confused look that Lin Fan had, Qing Ao explained, "Well, they are allies, but they are also old family friends. They're from races that have been allied with our Dragon Race since ancient times, so when we found ourselves on this world, we chose to stick together."
He turned his head over to where Lin Fan's pets were playing and said, "They have a bit of connection to you as well."
Lin Fan followed his gaze and saw that his eyes were specifically pointing at Xiao Huo and Xiao Lei. However, he was confused when he saw this.
How were they connected to Xiao Huo and Xiao Lei?
Qing Ao didn't explain this as he continued, "Since these unknown people have attacked me, it is very likely that they will be attacking my allies and it's most likely they'll have played the same tricks on them. So I was hoping that you could check in on them and perhaps help them if they need it…" This time, his eyes drifted to Lin Fan's sleeve where Brainy was hiding.
Lin Fan could understand what he meant by this, but he also had a difficult look on his face.
To be fair, he didn't want to get caught up in this more than he had to since there were no benefits to making a new enemy at this time.
He had helped Qing Ao get Qing Bao Lan back and he had done it without revealing his identity. So if he were to back out now, that would mean that he wouldn't make any enemies even if he had helped Qing Ao.
After all, the enemy would just assume that it was Qing Ao who got his daughter back.
But if he were to continue getting himself involved in this matter, it was very likely that he would be caught up in this more and more until he couldn't get himself out.
At that point, it would be too late for him to regret this.
Qing Ao could guess what Lin Fan was thinking from the expression on his face and knew that he was wavering, so he added, "My two allies are both True Soul Realm Experts and as long as you help them, I'm sure that they will be willing to become your allies as well."
This time, Lin Fan revealed a different expression, it was a look of shock.
True Soul Realm Experts, these were experts that were at the peak of the Galactic Humanity Alliance.
When it came to the twelve great factions, each faction only had two or three True Soul Realm Experts each, but that was what allowed them to rule over the Galactic Humanity Alliance.
If he were able to get two more True Soul Realm Experts as allies, that would mean that he would be able to match one of the twelve great factions alone as long as they chose to fight with him.
Of course, each faction also had many Nascent Soul Realm Experts, but that didn't matter to Lin Fan as much since he had his Nascent Soul Realm beasts. In fact, when it came to the quantity of Nascent Soul Realm Experts, Lin Fan could far outnumber any single one of the twelve great factions if he wanted to.
So he couldn't help being tempted since this would be very helpful to his plans in the future.
But what really made the decision for him was something else.
Before Lin Fan could make his decision, the Nascent Soul Realm kidnapper who had been on the side suddenly woke up.
At first, he was confused where he was, but seeing that he had a rope around him and that he was inside his palace, he quickly guessed where he was.
However, this Nascent Soul Realm kidnapper was well trained and didn't panic.
As soon as he figured out where he was, he immediately started looking around the area to find a way to escape, but all he was able to find was Lin Fan's group and Qing Ao.
But when his eyes fell onto Lin Fan and Qing Ao, they couldn't help opening wide as he remembered what had happened earlier.
