Chapter 2648: senluo wood essence

Xiao Fan didn't even need to think to know that Wen Shi was definitely scheming to harm him; he just didn't know what methods Wen Shi intended to use now.

Xiao Fan let out a breath. If possible, he really didn't want to offend the Wen Family in Kongchen Palace.

But if this Wen Shi insisted on seeking death, then Xiao Fan wouldn't mind killing him; at most, it would just be a bit troublesome afterward!

Xiao Fan thought for a moment and sent a message to Wen Xing, stating that his old injury had flared up and he needed to recuperate, so he couldn't take on any tasks for the time being.

Half a quarter of an hour later, a message came through Xiao Fan's disciple token…

"Xiao Fan, you've just joined the palace and you dare to refuse a task? Could it be that you are truly as cowardly and afraid of death as the rumors from the outside world suggest?"

Xiao Fan sneered, feeling that this Wen Xing was just like Wen Shi; both were seeking death!

Xiao Fan hesitated for a moment, then sent another message telling Wen Xing that he was injured and really shouldn't leave for the time being.

"Xiao Fan, according to the palace regulations, the Task Hall has the right to assign tasks to any Disciple. Since joining the palace, you haven't completed a single task, so this is a mandatory assignment. If you refuse, you can be dealt with for betraying Kongchen Palace!"

Seeing that his provocation didn't work, Wen Xing went straight for hard tactics!

Kongchen Palace did indeed have penalties for Disciples who refused tasks, but generally, these penalties only applied during wartime.

That was just to prevent people in Kongchen Palace from being afraid of battle…

Wen Xing using this to threaten Xiao Fan showed that he had begun to resort to unscrupulous means just to lure Xiao Fan out.

"Hehehe… truly damned, people of the Wen Family." Xiao Fan sneered, closing his eyes in thought.

Actually, Xiao Fan still had a way to avoid it; he could go find Elder De Ye and ask him to put in a word with the Task Hall, and then it would be fine.

But he could avoid it for a moment, not for a lifetime!

If the people from the Wen Family wanted to target him, they would always have various ways to do so later.

Moreover, being targeted by the Wen Family meant Xiao Fan probably wouldn't be able to Cultivate in peace.

Therefore, Xiao Fan decided to carry out the task. Even if he avoided it this time, the other party would find other excuses later to lure him out!

If Wen Shi really wanted to seek death, then Xiao Fan wouldn't mind killing him!

Although he didn't know what preparations Wen Shi had made, based on Xiao Fan's understanding of these Family descendants, in a situation where they had an absolute Realm advantage over him, they definitely wouldn't call in experts of a higher Realm to help.

The reason was simple… they couldn't afford to lose face.

Each and every one of them considered themselves invincible under the heavens!

Xiao Fan left his Immortal Cave and headed towards the Task Hall.

…

Task Hall.

Wen Shi looked at Wen Xing: "Brother Wen Xing, how is it? Has that beast replied?"

"No…" Wen Xing's face was gloomy, filled with Killing Intent; Xiao Fan actually dared to ignore him!

"Dammit, I said this little beast deserves to die, look… he even dares not to reply to your message, Brother Wen Xing; that clearly means he doesn't hold the Task Hall in his eyes!" Wen Shi said angrily, intending to add fuel to the fire so that Wen Xing would also come to hate Xiao Fan!

"Abominable, this beast!" Wen Xing was filled with Killing Intent; he naturally heard that Wen Shi was trying to stir things up.

But what Wen Shi said was also a fact; if Xiao Fan had truly been obedient and come, would Wen Xing have needed to get angry?

"This beast deserves to die. Daring to humiliate my Wen Family, we must grind his bones to dust!" Wen Shi said furiously.

Just at this moment, a faint voice came over.

"Which dog is barking at me…"

Xiao Fan stepped into the Task Hall; as soon as he entered, he heard Wen Shi insulting him.

Given the Wen Family's status in Kongchen Palace, they naturally didn't need to hide their conversation from anyone!

Furthermore, since they were insulting Xiao Fan, a creature from the Lower Realm, they had even less need to be sneaky.

"Hmm?"

Wen Shi and Wen Xing were both stunned and turned their heads to look.

Seeing that the person who arrived was Xiao Fan, Wen Shi immediately became agitated: "Xiao Fan, you beast, you dare to call me a dog!"

Wen Xing was also filled with Killing Intent, staring at Xiao Fan. This lad was indeed audacious; he dared to humiliate a member of the Wen Family right in front of him.

Wen Shi's outburst was loud, attracting the attention of many people in the Task Hall, making them all look over.

"Keep your voice down…" Wen Xing said coldly, feeling that Wen Shi was bringing too much shame to the Wen Family.

Wen Shi was so angry that he hated Xiao Fan even more, wishing he could immediately skin him, pull out his tendons, and chop Xiao Fan's flesh into pieces to feed to the dogs!

"I didn't call you a dog, I was cursing at a dog… are you one?" Xiao Fan looked at Wen Shi, revealing a playful smile.

"You, you, you… damn you!" Wen Shi gritted his teeth in anger; if they weren't inside Kongchen Palace, he would have already attacked!

"Noisy…" Xiao Fan said coldly, then he looked at Wen Xing on the side: "Are you Wen Xing?"

"That's right, it's me." Wen Xing let out a breath, forcibly suppressing his Killing Intent.

If a conflict occurred with Xiao Fan in the Task Hall, it would be he, the Deacon, who would lose face.

Moreover, since Xiao Fan had already arrived, it meant he had decided to complete the task. Wouldn't Xiao Fan's life or death be in the hands of their Wen Family afterward?

"What task do you have to assign to me…" Xiao Fan asked calmly.

"Simple… the palace is lacking senluo wood essence; you go and collect some, and that will be it…" Wen Xing said indifferently.
