Chapter 557: Illustrious Reputation

Upon hearing this, the Yun Family Ancestor nearly vomited blood from anger.

"Still don't intend to take it?"

If he were truly that kind-hearted, they wouldn't believe it even if they were beaten to death.

In particular, Patriarch Yun Lei and Yun Bao only hated that their cultivation was too low; otherwise, they definitely would have rushed up to fight Xiao Fan to the death.

"No matter, no matter… It is this old man who was unprepared. Little friend, rest assured, I will send it to you later." The Yun Family Ancestor revealed a smile that looked uglier than crying, then left with Patriarch Yun Lei and Yun Bao…

"Sigh… I really didn't intend to take it!" Xiao Fan muttered to himself, then returned to his Immortal Cave.

In truth, he really did not intend to take that one million.

He had only mentioned it in passing.

After all, he had first robbed nearly two million Medium-Grade Spirit Stones from the Storage Pouches of the Yun Family members.

Just now, the Yun Family Ancestor had given him another five million Spirit Stones.

If he were to take another one million Spirit Stones…

Wouldn't that mean he had earned eight million Medium-Grade Spirit Stones from the Yun Family?

That was equivalent to eight hundred million Low-Grade Spirit Stones!!

Xiao Fan had a face full of smiles, but then he stiffened, and silently put away the Storage Pouch.

He had forgotten that there was still a thief inside his Immortal Cave!

If that fellow knew he had earned so many more Spirit Stones, she might exploit him!

Not might, definitely!!

Xiao Fan kept an expressionless face, pretending nothing had happened as he returned to his Immortal Cave.

But he was still called over by Zhangsun Ning.

"How many Spirit Stones did you earn just now!" Zhangsun Ning asked with a smile, not looking like an expert at all!

"Uh… not many." Xiao Fan waved his hand, signaling that she was overthinking it.

"Spirit Stones are all fleeting clouds; they are just a number. What's the use of knowing those things?"

"How much did he give you exactly." Zhangsun Ning pressed: "Rest assured, grade 5 pills are of no use to me now; I'm just asking."

"Really?" Xiao Fan was stunned. He thought about it and felt that Zhangsun Ning would indeed not lie to him about this matter.

"Five million, that's all. Not much." Xiao Fan answered indifferently.

"Five million!" Zhangsun Ning was stunned. After her shock, her eyes gleamed as she sized up Xiao Fan.

What a talent…

In these short two days, he had earned nearly ten million Spirit Stones from just the Yun Family!!

These were Medium-Grade Spirit Stones!!

Zhangsun Ning estimated that the Yun Family might have emptied their entire fortune to barely scrape that amount together.

In reality, she did not know… right now, the Yun Family Ancestor was borrowing Spirit Stones from his friends everywhere.

His Yun Family was truly emptied out; they couldn't even afford Medicinal Pills for healing.

"Ahem… it's nothing." Xiao Fan was very humble. He felt it was better to keep a low profile to avoid being constantly targeted by this woman.

Although she looked good, he, Xiao Fan, was a man with a Family!!

Even if his wife had been snatched away!!

"Not bad, not bad." Zhangsun Ning nodded.

Seeing that the other party had no intention of making him continue spending Spirit Stones, Xiao Fan let out a slight sigh of relief and felt much more at ease. However, the next sentence from her left Xiao Fan dumbfounded…

"Later, if there is an auction in Yihuang Province, we will go attend it. It won't be a problem to bid for a few grade 6 pills. We might even encounter grade 7 pills, it's just a question of whether we have enough Spirit Stones!!"

Xiao Fan's face turned black instantly. The joy he felt from obtaining the Spirit Stones just now was gone, all gone…

Damn it.

He never dreamed that this was Zhangsun Ning's plan.

She wanted to make him use his Spirit Stones to bid for Medicinal Pills for her!!

Indeed, grade 6 pills were very precious in Yihuang Province. Usually, they were only sold at auctions or in large cities.

And the price would certainly be shockingly expensive.

"What, you're unwilling?" Zhangsun Ning glanced at Xiao Fan and said crossly.

"I, I am willing!!" Xiao Fan gritted his teeth, the words forcing their way out of his throat.

"Very good, you may withdraw." Zhangsun Ning nodded slightly. She naturally knew that Xiao Fan was unhappy, but what did that have to do with her!!

As long as she was satisfied, that was all that mattered.

Xiao Fan exited the room. Not long after, the Yun Family Ancestor arrived and delivered the one million Spirit Stones he had just scraped together.

Xiao Fan received the Spirit Stones with a black face, then turned and returned to his Immortal Cave.

If Zhangsun Ning had said that beforehand, Xiao Fan might have planned to swindle even more from the Yun Family…

The Yun Family Ancestor was puzzled. Xiao Fan had a dark face, and he felt that nothing good would come of it… He decisively ran away, unwilling to stay long, fearing he would be schemed against by Xiao Fan again.

This guy was definitely someone who would eat people without spitting out the bones; he could not be offended.

Meanwhile, news that Xiao Fan had suppressed the Yun Family single-handedly in Linze City had also spread.

Furthermore, Xiao Fan was going to represent Linze City in the competition of the sixty-four cities, and he was highly regarded by the City Lord.

Some large Families all started to have thoughts of buttering up to him.

Among them, the Fan Family was one.

"Grandfather, that Xiao Fan is indeed terrifying. He defeated the Yun Family members with a single sword strike. If he were to make a move, I estimate even the Yun Family Ancestor would not be his match!!" Fan Chang respectfully recounted the process of how, after Xiao Fan arrived, he first beat Yun Bao, and then went to cause trouble at the Yun Family.

The Fan Family Old Ancestor and the Family Head, along with a group of others, were together discussing this matter.

They also believed that this Xiao Fan had great potential and was worth befriending.

Especially now that the other party was representing Linze City in the sixty-four city competition. If he truly won, his future would be boundless, and he might even join the Yihuang Dynasty.

Now was the best opportunity to befriend him.
