Chapter 558: Delivering Gifts, Coming to Curry Favor

"Prepare a grand gift and send it to him." The Fan Family Old Ancestor spoke, "This represents the sincerity of my Fan Family. Fan Chang, I will leave the matter of befriending this Xiao Fan to you!"

"As you command." Fan Chang replied respectfully.

Likewise, the Fan Family was not the only Family with this idea. The other families in Linze City were the same.

Especially since Xiao Fan was leaving with City Lord Du Ling in two days; if they waited until Xiao Fan truly won the competition of the sixty-four cities, it would be too late to try and befriend him!

Therefore, these major families were moved and planned to send generous gifts one after another to befriend Xiao Fan.

However, they were unsure of Xiao Fan's preferences and didn't know what to send, so the major families simply discussed it and decided that sending Spirit Stones would be best.

That night… Xiao Fan was in his Immortal Cave, feeling slightly gloomy and focusing on Alchemy.

When he heard someone requesting an audience at the door, and then saw a group of people from major families presenting generous gifts one after another… he was stunned himself.

"Big Brother… this is the sincerity of my Fan Family. You must accept it, Big Brother." Fan Chang handed a Storage Pouch to Xiao Fan, his face full of smiles.

Just two days ago, he was still calling Xiao Fan 'Fellow Daoist'… yet now, calling him 'Big Brother' felt completely natural; in fact, Fan Chang even felt he was climbing above his station.

After all, even the Yun Family Old Ancestor had to be polite when seeing Xiao Fan. He had even heard about Yun Bao and Patriarch Yun Lei kneeling to apologize to Xiao Fan.

Fan Chang truly wanted to befriend Xiao Fan, believing that Xiao Fan had potential and was worth the Fan Family's efforts to befriend and invest in!

"This… is too polite!" Xiao Fan's face was full of joy. Although he said that, his body was honest; he took the Storage Pouch and looked inside. There were actually one million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones… what a grand gesture.

There were representatives from other major families as well, and they also presented their Storage Pouches one after another.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, you are young and promising. In the future, you will surely be a True Dragon among men and will definitely make a name for yourself in Yihuang Province. Here is a small token of sincerity from my Yang Family; please accept it!" A man in his fifties spoke; he was the head of the Yang Family in Linze City.

"Many thanks, many thanks!" Xiao Fan accepted the Storage Pouch with a smile, and inside were unexpectedly another one million Spirit Stones.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, I am from the Zhou Family. I also wish to befriend you. Please accept this small token of sincerity."

"Little Brother Xiao is young and promising. I, Li Changshan, acknowledge you as a friend. Please do not refuse this small token of sincerity, my young friend!"

"…" The people sent by these families were either direct descendants of the clan or the Family heads themselves; some even had their Old Ancestors personally come out, all just to curry favor with Xiao Fan.

The gifts they presented left an uncontrollable smile on Xiao Fan's face. "Easy to say, easy to say…" "Everyone, rest assured; from today on, we are friends!" "Rest assured, if I, Xiao Fan, make it big in Yihuang Province in the future, I will definitely not forget you all!" "…"

Xiao Fan spoke these words of accommodation unconsciously, and the way he spoke surprised even himself. How did he know how to say these things? And so fluently… yet his mouth had spoken them involuntarily. Could this be talent?

At this moment, Xiao Fan felt that it would be a pity if he didn't go into business.

After exchanging pleasantries with Xiao Fan for a while, these people from the major families left. They claimed they would prepare a victory banquet for Xiao Fan after he participated in the battle of the sixty-four cities!

Fan Chang, in particular, seemed eager to serve Xiao Fan hand and foot. Xiao Fan was beaming with joy as he happily saw the group off.

He had received a full fifteen million Spirit Stones… all of which were Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, equivalent to 1.5 billion! If he included what the Yun Family gave him before, Xiao Fan had earned over two billion!!

Xiao Fan felt that Yihuang Province was actually quite good; the people here were wealthy and honest… At this moment, he didn't even want to return to Wuhuang Province. After he went to Tianshen Prefecture to pick up Long Miaoyin, he might as well come and live in Yihuang Province! The people here were good and honest!

Inside the Immortal Cave… Zhangsun Ning was so shocked she couldn't speak. This worked too? There was actually a group of people coming to voluntarily give Xiao Fan Spirit Stones!

And the way Xiao Fan had responded so fluently just now, in her eyes, must have been intentional on Xiao Fan's part!

"This guy is too insidious. He must have calculated this step from the very beginning; everything is his trap…" Zhangsun Ning muttered to herself. She speculated that Xiao Fan had thought of this from the start. Therefore, he was deliberately fleecing this group of people.

Actually, one couldn't blame Zhangsun Ning for thinking this way; after all, Xiao Fan's smile and responses just now were too smooth, as if he had planned them out in advance. But at the same time, Zhangsun Ning also admired Xiao Fan. He could even pull off a scheme like this and directly earn another large sum of Spirit Stones…

She really wanted to ask how much Xiao Fan had received, but she forced herself not to… However, seeing that look of uncontrollable joy on Xiao Fan's face, she knew it must be a lot.

Twenty million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones! He had struck it rich. Xiao Fan was as happy as a flower.

One hour later… the Yun Family Old Ancestor arrived. Xiao Fan was very surprised; he couldn't understand what this old guy was here for again?

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, this… is a small token of sincerity from my Yun Family. Please accept it. My Yun Family will wait for your triumphant return in Linze City!" The Yun Family Old Ancestor flattered him. Then, under the stunned gaze of Xiao Fan, he left…
