Chapter 1276: The Mission, 20 Billion

"Uh… what do you mean by that?!" Xiao Fan asked. He felt like Valley Master Luo Tian was trying to scam him!

He had clearly already given him Spirit Stones!

What else did he want to do?

"Hehehe… it means nothing, it's just this mission that you still need to complete!" Valley Master Luo Tian said with a chuckle.

"I'm not a member of your Ghost World Valley, so why should I listen to you?" Xiao Fan was displeased!

He hadn't even haggled just now and had given Valley Master Luo Tian 5 billion Top-Grade Spirit Stones directly, just to repay the debt of gratitude for saving his life!

If Valley Master Luo Tian really had any difficulties, he should have just talked to him properly!

He definitely would have agreed and would have certainly helped…

But this!

He immediately brought up a mission again!

What was the meaning of this?

Zhangsun Ning was also puzzled, her dark eyebrows slightly knitted…

She really wanted to speak up for Xiao Fan, but she was, after all, a member of Ghost World Valley, so she couldn't say anything.

"Hahaha… it means nothing, little friend… tell me, you are currently in my Ghost World Valley, and your food, drink, and lodging are all provided by me… even if you don't join Ghost World Valley, it's not too much for me to send you to do a few things, right?!"

"It is too much!" Xiao Fan said indifferently.

He had no interest in being morally blackmailed!

"Uh… you brat!" Valley Master Luo Tian shook his head with a bitter smile.

In Valley Master Luo Tian's view, Xiao Fan only had one path to take now: joining Ghost World Valley.

After all, he had offended more than a dozen peerless powerhouses from the Tianshen Prefecture and was also being rejected and targeted by the human emperor scepter…

If Xiao Fan were to fall out with him, even if he didn't make a move, once the other party was expelled from Ghost World Valley and left this Forbidden Land…

it probably wouldn't take long before he was killed by those peerless powerhouses!

But this guy… actually acted like he didn't care at all!

This made Valley Master Luo Tian feel that Xiao Fan was very difficult to handle!

"Xiao Fan… since you refuse me like this, aren't you afraid I'll expel you from Ghost World Valley?!" Valley Master Luo Tian asked.

"I'm afraid!" Xiao Fan said indifferently.

Although he said that, there wasn't the slightest expression of fear on his face.

Afraid of what, exactly!

What could happen if he went out?!

"You, you!" Valley Master Luo Tian was speechless.

Could he not tell what the other party was thinking from his expression?

Valley Master Luo Tian felt that using methods to deal with normal people definitely wouldn't work…

So, he simply ignored Xiao Fan and said to Zhangsun Ning, "Zhangsun Ning, receive the order!"

"Yes!" Zhangsun Ning knelt on one knee and said in a low voice.

Xiao Fan was stunned, wondering what kind of trick Valley Master Luo Tian was trying to pull now!

"Zhangsun Ning… the valley is currently in urgent need of resources and Spirit Stones… I specifically order you to go out and acquire them, by any means necessary,"

"Understood!" Zhangsun Ning agreed immediately.

When the Valley Master issues an order, no one in the valley may refuse!

This was one of the iron laws!

Of course, these rules were all set by Valley Master Luo Tian himself!

"Very good!" Valley Master Luo Tian laughed.

"Then, Valley Master… what is the target?" Zhangsun Ning asked.

"Hmm… let's just get 20 billion Top-Grade Spirit Stones!" Valley Master Luo Tian said indifferently. After saying that, he even cast a sidelong glance at Xiao Fan!

"2… 20 billion Top-Grade Spirit Stones…"

Upon hearing this number, Zhangsun Ning was dumbfounded and stood there in a daze!

Was he crazy?

20 billion Top-Grade Spirit Stones… how was she supposed to get that?

"Is there a problem?"

"No… no problem!!" Zhangsun Ning said through gritted teeth.

"Very good." Valley Master Luo Tian nodded with a chuckle, thought for a moment, and added, "Of course… this target has a little bit of pressure, but you can find a helper to assist you… right?"

From beginning to end, Valley Master Luo Tian was targeting Xiao Fan!

He knew best how much capability Zhangsun Ning had.

Expecting Zhangsun Ning to earn 20 billion Top-Grade Spirit Stones… this was simply impossible!

Therefore, from the very beginning, the one Valley Master Luo Tian was calculating against was Xiao Fan!

He was hoping that Xiao Fan would do it!!

"How insidious…" Xiao Fan sighed from the side!

"Hahaha… kid, who are you talking about?" Valley Master Luo Tian laughed.

"Whoever it is knows who they are…" Xiao Fan was very speechless.

These old monsters who had lived for countless years were indeed all cunning to the point of becoming spirits!

No matter how foolish Zhangsun Ning was, she could understand what was going on.

Although this mission from Valley Master Luo Tian was assigned to her, in reality, it was just to make Xiao Fan help her complete it!

Zhangsun Ning silently cast an apologetic look at Xiao Fan… 20 billion Top-Grade Spirit Stones, this is…

"Alright, you two go back first… in half a month, you will set off…" Valley Master Luo Tian said with a faint smile.

Xiao Fan had no interest in paying attention to this old fox, so he grabbed Zhangsun Ning's hand and walked out.

After Xiao Fan left…

Valley Master Luo Tian chuckled to himself, "Kid, trying to fight me… you're still a bit too green!"

Actually, Valley Master Luo Tian had even considered whether he should rob Xiao Fan!

He estimated that the kid definitely still had quite a few Spirit Stones on him!

But after thinking about it, he decided against it!

After all, not only would that be beneath his status… it would also easily lead to bad blood with Xiao Fan!

Since he had a good relationship with such a young Prodigy, he should build more connections, definitely not bad blood…

Especially Xiao Fan…

Given his talent, he might be the hope of the Nine Prefectures in the future!
