Chapter 5856: The Despicable Shuihan Sect

After joining Huantian City, Xiao Fan took out a communication jade slip and told the Fire Lizard, letting him rest assured.

Afterward, under the guidance of Yun Yanran, Xiao Fan arrived at an auction house.

This auction house was Yun Yanran's property; in other words, Yun Yanran was the boss here.

Yun Yanran brought Xiao Fan to her Secret Room.

She prepared tea and some desserts made from rare Spiritual Materials for Xiao Fan.

"Give it a try; they are all local specialties of our Huantian City," Yun Yanran said calmly.

"Alright, thank you."

Xiao Fan nodded and tasted the dessert.

"Not bad, not bad! It melts in the mouth, and there is a faint trace of spiritual power circulating throughout the body," Xiao Fan laughed.

"Hehe… You are quite bold; aren't you afraid that I might poison you?"

"Poison? Hehehe… If you could poison me, that would actually be quite impressive."

Xiao Fan looked indifferent, not taking it seriously at all.

Having mastered the Power of the Mortal Immortal, Xiao Fan had already reached the point of being immune to all poisons.

"Tell me, I'm quite curious, how did the feud between you and the Shuihan Sect come about? Wasn't Yun Borong a member of the Shuihan Sect?" Xiao Fan asked.

"My father was indeed a member of the Shuihan Sect, having risked his life for the Shuihan Sect, but in the end… because of an Opportunity, they…"

"An Opportunity? What kind of Opportunity?!" Xiao Fan was stunned for a moment.

"It was a map."

"A map?!" Xiao Fan frowned and asked in surprise, "What kind of map?!"

"A map regarding the secrets of the Endless Plains. My father accidentally obtained one, and as a result…"

"The Shuihan Sect had designs on the map, so they attacked your father?!"

"That's right." Yun Yanran nodded and recounted the events of that time.

Yun Borong had joined the Shuihan Sect many years ago and had always been conscientious and hardworking for the Shuihan Sect.

Even after he married and had a daughter, he placed them both in the Shuihan Sect.

It could be said that the Shuihan Sect was home to Yun Borong.

According to the rules of the Shuihan Sect, any treasures obtained by individuals while performing tasks outside belonged to themselves.

This rule was actually quite reasonable.

After all, even without this rule, who would hand over treasures obtained along the way while out on a mission?!

That would be completely unreasonable!

Once, when Yun Borong was out on a mission, he chanced upon a map by coincidence.

This map was about the secrets of the Endless Plains!

Yun Borong had also heard of this secret unintentionally.

Yun Borong was very happy and hid the map well.

After returning to the Shuihan Sect, Yun Borong could have originally kept this matter to himself.

But after hesitating for a moment, he decided it would be better to let the Shuihan Sect know about the secret of the Endless Plains.

So, he confessed the matter and told the Shuihan Sect about the secret of the Endless Plains.

Upon learning the secret of the Endless Plains, the Shuihan Sect was greatly shaken.

Afterward, the Sect Master found Yun Borong and hoped that he would hand over the map.

Without a doubt, Yun Borong refused.

Because the secret contained in the map was too great, Yun Borong did not want to hand it over.

It was not that Yun Borong was selfish, but rather that he hoped to leave this Opportunity to his own daughter, who was Yun Yanran.

Regarding this, the Shuihan Sect said nothing on the surface.

But afterward, they used Yun Borong's wife and daughter as threats to make him compromise.

Yun Borong had a habit: he never carried valuable items on his person.

The Shuihan Sect also knew this, which was why they did not directly attack Yun Borong.

In fact, that was the case; Yun Borong had not carried the map on him at all.

Finally, Yun Borong negotiated with the Shuihan Sect.

The condition reached was that the Shuihan Sect would first hand Yun Yanran over to Yun Borong.

Afterward, once he retrieved the map and handed it to the Shuihan Sect, the Shuihan Sect would then release Yun Borong's wife.

However, during the period of retrieving the map, an Elder of the Shuihan Sect needed to follow him.

Yun Borong naturally did not refuse and left with six Elders of the Shuihan Sect.

Afterward, Yun Borong launched a great battle against them, and at the cost of a tragic price, he took Yun Yanran and escaped the encirclement, hiding in a safe place.

"So that's how it is…" Xiao Fan nodded and took a deep look at Yun Yanran.

"Why are you looking at me like that?!" Yun Yanran was stunned.

"Hehehe… Yun Borong didn't save your mother, so you hate him? Is that right?" Xiao Fan laughed.

When Xiao Fan was impersonating Yun Borong, Yun Yanran's attitude was clearly very poor.

At that time, Xiao Fan was curious; since the other party was clearly Yun Borong's daughter, why was her attitude so bad?

"That's right." Yun Yanran nodded and said calmly, "Although I know my father was not wrong, I cannot accept it…"

"What happened next? Your mother?"
