Chapter 4800: Sugar-Coated Shells
"Brother Cheng, what do you mean?" Xiao Fan was stunned.
"Haha… we have plenty of Magical Artifacts here that can shield Divine Soul detection," Cheng Yushi said with a smile.
"Ah?" Xiao Fan looked surprised. "Is that true?!"
"It's true, of course it's true." Cheng Yushi nodded heavily. "Rest assured, even if it were the Ghost Lord of your Nether Ghost Mansion, he wouldn't be able to detect our conversation today."
"This…"
"Brother Xiao Xuan, don't hesitate! Join our Shengtian Mansion now! Your status will definitely be higher than the others! When the day comes that our Shengtian Mansion's people arrive at the Ghost Mansion, even Dong Chengji and Tu Haohao will have to answer to you!!" Cheng Yushi tempted him.
"I… this… Brother Cheng, this is a matter of great importance. Can I take some time to think it over?!" Xiao Fan hesitated, a look of longing in his eyes, though a trace of hesitation and worry still lingered in the depths of his gaze.
Seeing this, Cheng Yushi nodded in satisfaction. "Of course you can, Brother Xiao Xuan. This is a rare opportunity! I didn't seek out anyone else, I only came to you! Because I felt like we were old friends from the moment we met! Do you understand?!"
"I understand, I understand… Brother Cheng, thank you, thank you so much!" Xiao Fan nodded vigorously. "If I ever reach great heights in the future, I will definitely never forget you, Brother Cheng!"
"Hahaha… Good, good, good. With those words from you, my brother, I am satisfied." Cheng Yushi nodded firmly. "Alright then, give it some thought. I'll come by again tomorrow."
"This… Brother Cheng, let me see you out!"
"No need, no need… Brother Xiao Xuan, just think it over. We're family, there's no need to see me out."
"…"
Cheng Yushi took large strides and left Xiao Fan's room.
Xiao Fan stood at the doorway, watching Cheng Yushi's figure until it disappeared, before returning to his room.
"Hehe… Shengtian Mansion, not bad," Xiao Fan murmured with a smile.
Everything was exactly as he had imagined. Shengtian Mansion did not trust the Nether Ghost Mansion and hoped to plant an informant within its ranks.
Xiao Fan even suspected that the reason the Ghost Lord didn't allow too many people to enter Shengtian Mansion was precisely because he feared something like this would happen.
Dong Chengji, Tu Haohao, Lu Cheng, and Sha Mushi were all the Ghost Lord's trusted confidants; it was impossible for them to be turned. Xiao Li was highly valued in the Nether Ghost Mansion and had even received a ghost wood envoy token; moreover, he was cold by nature and would not be easily swayed…
In Xiao Fan's view, if it weren't for him, it would have been impossible for any of these people to agree to Shengtian Mansion's recruitment.
It was just a pity that he, the variable, had appeared… giving Shengtian Mansion an opportunity.
"Why didn't you just agree immediately?" the star chart asked curiously.
"Yeah, you should have agreed!" the black ring was also surprised.
They knew Xiao Fan's character all too well. How could he not have agreed to such a good deal?!
"Hehehe… what's the rush? You can't rush this kind of thing, otherwise it becomes suspicious later. Besides, I'd lose my bargaining chips, understand?" Xiao Fan smiled.
"Bargaining chips?!"
"Hehehe… if I agreed immediately, wouldn't that prove I'm too cheap? I don't agree to things that aren't valuable." Xiao Fan smiled faintly. "Wanting me to be a mole… that's going to be very expensive."
About fifteen minutes after Cheng Yushi left, Caiying arrived outside Xiao Fan's room…
"Lord Xiao…"
"Enter."
The door opened, and Caiying entered the room with a flushed face, dressed very provocatively.
"My Lord."
"Caiying, what's wrong with you?!" Xiao Fan was taken aback.
"Lord Cheng said I should serve you well… If you are not satisfied, I can find someone else for you," Caiying said with a smile.
"Ah? This…" Xiao Fan was stunned. He hadn't expected Cheng Yushi's sugar-coated shells to be deployed so quickly.
They didn't even wait for the next day!
"My Lord, let me serve you…" Caiying's face was red as she walked toward Xiao Fan step by step.
"No, no, no… wait! Calm down!" Xiao Fan shook his head repeatedly.
"My Lord, are you dissatisfied? Shall I find someone else to replace me?" Caiying asked with a giggle.
"No, no… I'm very satisfied."
"Then why?!"
