Chapter 4471: I Was Slow!

"That won't do…" Xiao Fan shook his head. "Everyone wants speed, but there must be rules. If the rules are broken, what will happen later? What do you think?"

"This… take it, take it!"

Dong Chengji took out a storage ring and shoved it into Xiao Fan's hand.

"Don't be like this… Dong Chengji, don't… This is so inappropriate…"

"It's fine, it's fine. We are all brothers; helping each other is only right." Dong Chengji wore a smile that looked worse than crying.

This was what his subordinates had told Dong Chengji: he had to properly bribe Xiao Fan, otherwise, the other party would continue to make things difficult for them.

"This… alright." Xiao Fan hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Then I will accept it for now. If you have any issues later, just speak up. There is no need to give gifts; we are all friends…"

"Good, good, good… We are all friends, we are all friends." Dong Chengji nodded repeatedly.

Once Xiao Fan accepted the gift, things would be easier to handle; at the very least, he wouldn't intentionally make things difficult for them.

However, Dong Chengji thought wrong. Xiao Fan didn't actually do anything after accepting the gift, and he was just as slow as before…

"Brother Wei! Where have you reached? Hurry! Hurry up!!"

"I can't… Brother Dong, don't rush me… Everyone is rushing me, what can I do? Rules, these are the rules!"

"…"

Hearing Xiao Fan's words, Dong Chengji was about to go crazy and had no solutions at all.

What could he possibly do?!

Of course.

This time, Xiao Fan arrived one day faster than before and still delivered the resources to Dong Chengji.

"Brother Wei, next time you… please hurry up!" Dong Chengji said, heartbroken. "Otherwise, I won't be able to hold on!"

"Hehe… Alright, rest assured. As long as it is within the circumstances, I will definitely deliver to you first!" Xiao Fan nodded heavily.

Undoubtedly, Xiao Fan had said the same thing to the other few people as well.

But apart from Sha Mushi, none of the others had ever received the resources on time.

Xiao Fan even had the leisure to stay at Sha Mushi's territory for two days to understand the situation on the battlefield.

"The situation is very bad, it's too chaotic… Sigh… We lack experience, and as for the enemy, they were prepared beforehand; we simply cannot compare to them." Sha Mushi shook her head helplessly.

The Heavenly Court's plan to rebel was certainly not a secret.

Regarding this matter, Sha Mushi was also very helpless…

According to Sha Mushi, their role was to stabilize the morale of the army. In reality, they were not the ones devising strategies; it was all done by some of the upper echelons of the Ghost Mansion.

However, the strategies of those upper echelons were far less shrewd than the Heavenly Court's and were simply no match for the Heavenly Court.

"Heh… isn't that a given?"

"Wei Zhongshan, why do you say that?" Sha Mushi asked curiously.

"There are also traitors among the upper echelons, how can we fight this?" Xiao Fan shook his head helplessly.

"You… is what you are saying true?!" Sha Mushi raised her eyebrows.

"Of course." Xiao Fan sighed.

"What should be done about this…"

"There's no other way, just hold on…" Xiao Fan sighed. "Take good care of yourself, rest assured, the Ghost Mansion will not have any mishaps."

Xiao Fan was clear about the foundation of the Ghost Mansion. Given Sha Mushi's status, the Ghost Lord would not easily let anything happen to her.

Furthermore, Xiao Fan believed that Sha Mushi certainly possessed life-saving means.

"Alright." Sha Mushi shook her head helplessly. "You should leave quickly; Tu Haohao is already anxious over there!"

"Alright then, I'll go take a look…" Xiao Fan smiled, left Sha Mushi's battlefield, and headed toward Tu Haohao's battlefield.

When Xiao Fan met Tu Haohao, the latter had lost a significant amount of weight.

"You… you finally came!" Tu Haohao ran up to Xiao Fan, his expression very vivid—he wanted to get angry but didn't dare to, and still had to force a smile.

"Brother Tu… I was slow!" Xiao Fan shook his head helplessly.

"No, no… not slow! It's fine as long as you came!" Tu Haohao sighed. "Hurry! Give me the resources first!"

"Alright." Xiao Fan nodded and handed a storage ring to Tu Haohao.
