Chapter 6956: Rest Assured

"Brother Wei, don't be in such a hurry, don't be in such a hurry."

The Gu Family Patriarch shook his head with a bitter smile. "How about I take you to our Gu Family's treasury to have a look for yourself?"

"Fine," Xiao Fan nodded.

The Gu Family's treasury indeed contained many fine treasures.

Xiao Fan selected a few and directly asked the Gu Family Patriarch to name a price.

At this moment, the Gu Family Patriarch didn't dare to ask for an exorbitant price.

He offered a relatively reasonable price.

Xiao Fan didn't haggle and took them immediately.

"Splendid! Simply splendid!" the Gu Family Patriarch clapped and cheered.

"Hehehe… doing business should be like this, right?" Xiao Fan said indifferently, crossing his arms.

Hearing this, Qi Zijin, who was standing nearby, turned red in the face and stammered for a long while.

"Yes! Brother Wei, you're absolutely right!" the Gu Family Patriarch nodded repeatedly.

Afterwards, he arranged a banquet, intending to curry favor with Xiao Fan.

One certainly couldn't go wrong by currying favor with someone from the Undying Empress.

Soon, everyone gathered together.

Gu Zhizhen arrived as well, with Xiao Xuan standing behind her.

Seeing Xiao Xuan, Xiao Fan was instantly amused but said nothing.

Xiao Xuan's face turned red, and he lowered his head in silence.

"What's wrong with you?" Gu Zhizhen glanced at Xiao Xuan curiously.

"It's nothing," Xiao Xuan shook his head repeatedly.

"Alright then," Gu Zhizhen nodded and didn't say more.

Then, the Gu Family Patriarch began introducing Xiao Fan's identity.

"Hehehe… hello, everyone," Xiao Fan said calmly.

"I am one of the Empress's people, here on orders. If I can gather all the Materials in your Abyssal Underworld City, that would naturally be for the best," Xiao Fan said indifferently.

Hearing this, everyone began to shower him with compliments.

Then, the Gu Family Patriarch said with a smile that their Gu Family was willing to cooperate fully.

"Hehehe… if that's the case, then that's naturally the best," Xiao Fan nodded with satisfaction.

After chatting for a bit, the Gu Family Patriarch said he would have his eldest son help and cooperate with Xiao Fan for the upcoming matters.

"While in Abyssal Underworld City, you can just speak with him," the Gu Family Patriarch laughed.

"Him?" Xiao Fan glanced at the Gu Family Patriarch's eldest son and shook his head.

"What? Brother Wei, you're not satisfied?" The Gu Family Patriarch was taken aback.

"Yes, I'm not satisfied." Xiao Fan shook his head, looked at Gu Zhizhen, and said with a smile, "Lady Zhizhen, would you be willing to accompany me?"

At these words, the Gu Family Patriarch was stunned.

Gu Zhizhen's face flushed. "Ah, this… is that okay?"

"Hahaha… I think it's quite good," Xiao Fan laughed and looked at the Gu Family Patriarch. "What do you think, Brother Gu?"

"This… I think it's quite good too." The Gu Family Patriarch hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

"Zhizhen, Brother Wei is a distinguished guest of our Gu Family. You must treat him well later on."

"Yes," Gu Zhizhen nodded repeatedly.

Xiao Fan smiled and gave a slow nod.

This way, someone from the Gu Family would be cooperating with him.

And it was Gu Zhizhen.

Xiao Fan's next plan was to first swindle the Gu Family's resources, and then use the Gu Family to swindle the resources of all the major families in the entire Abyssal Underworld City.

"What about me? What about me?!" Qi Zijin asked weakly.

"Hehehe… Qi Zijin, your way of doing things was a bit dishonest." Xiao Fan shook his head with a bitter smile and said indifferently, "Asking for an exorbitant price right away! Don't you think that was too much?!"

Hearing this, the Gu Family Patriarch said in a low voice, "Qi Zijin, you should step down for now."

"Ah, this… yes." Qi Zijin hesitated for a moment, nodded, and turned to leave.

At this moment, Qi Zijin's heart was filled with rage.

He hated Xiao Fan and equally hated the Gu Family Patriarch.

He never expected that he would actually be kicked out of the game.

"Hehehe… Brother Wei, I wonder! Just how many death spirit stones does the Undying Empress intend to spend in total?" the Gu Family Patriarch laughed.

"A lot," Xiao Fan said calmly. "The Empress didn't specify the exact amount, but she said that as long as they are rare Heaven And Earth Treasures, we must get them at any cost! If we run out of death spirit stones later, I just need to contact her."

At these words, the Gu Family Patriarch nodded repeatedly.

Then, the Gu Family Patriarch said that he would have Gu Zhizhen take Xiao Fan to see the Merchant Firms of other families as well.

If there were any needed Heaven And Earth Treasures, they could mention the Gu Family's name to get a direct discount.

"Hahaha… then thank you very much," Xiao Fan laughed.

"You're too kind! I just hope that you, Brother Wei, can put in a few good words for us in front of the Undying Empress later!"

"Rest assured, rest assured."
