Chapter 6957: I Think They’re Average

"That's easy to say, no problem at all," Xiao Fan said with a smile and a nod.

"Thank you, thank you very much," the Gu Family Patriarch said with a smile, bowing to Xiao Fan.

"You're too polite. We're all on the same side; it's only right."

Xiao Fan nodded and sized up Gu Zhizhen, the corners of his mouth curling up uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Gu Zhizhen blushed and whispered, "Uncle Wei, what are you…?"

"Hahaha… Don't call me Uncle Wei, just call me Brother Wei," Xiao Fan laughed.

"That wouldn't be right. Wouldn't that mess up the generational hierarchy?" Gu Zhizhen was startled.

The Gu Family Patriarch was stunned for a moment, looking at Gu Zhizhen and then at Xiao Fan.

After a moment's hesitation, the Gu Family Patriarch said, "Zhizhen, why don't you call him Senior?"

"Yes, Senior Wei." Gu Zhizhen nodded, looking at Xiao Fan shyly.

Xiao Fan was currently impersonating the identity of the Undying Empress's confidant.

To be noticed by such a big shot, Gu Zhizhen was naturally delighted.

To the side, Xiao Xuan looked awkward, shaking his head with a bitter smile.

Xiao Fan naturally had no interest in Gu Zhizhen.

He was just curious about what this woman, who had taken a liking to Xiao Xuan, was thinking.

He chatted with the Gu Family Patriarch for a while.

The Gu Family arranged a place for Xiao Fan to stay.

The Gu Family Patriarch also said that Gu Zhizhen should host Xiao Fan well.

For the following period of time, Xiao Fan was to tell Gu Zhizhen if he needed anything.

"Yes," Gu Zhizhen nodded firmly.

"Hehehe… Then I'll have to trouble you, Young Miss Gu," Xiao Fan chuckled.

"It's no trouble," Gu Zhizhen shook her head gently.

As she spoke, she shot a subtle glance at Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuan's expression was indifferent, without the slightest hint of jealousy.

Seeing his reaction, Gu Zhizhen immediately felt a bit displeased.

That night, Xiao Fan stayed at the Gu Family residence.

Xiao Xuan and Gu Zhizhen left together and arrived at the Side Hall.

"Xiao Xuan! Why aren't you jealous?!" Gu Zhizhen spoke in a low voice, her cold gaze and expression looking unfriendly as she stared at him.

"Why would I be jealous?!" Xiao Xuan was startled.

At this moment, Xiao Xuan was completely bewildered.

He actually really wanted to tell Gu Zhizhen.

That Senior Wei from just now was actually his father.

If Gu Zhizhen knew the truth, her expression would surely be quite a sight.

Unfortunately.

Xiao Xuan couldn't tell Gu Zhizhen the truth about this matter.

"You! You, you, you! Forget it! It's nothing." Gu Zhizhen gnashed her teeth and shook her head.

Xiao Xuan pursed his lips, bowed to Gu Zhizhen, and turned to leave.

Xiao Xuan's biggest impression of Gu Zhizhen was that she was very inexplicable.

"That damnable Xiao Xuan! Why doesn't he like me?!" Gu Zhizhen pursed her lips and said in a huff.

The next day.

Gu Zhizhen took Xiao Fan to wander around Mingyuan City.

During this time, Xiao Xuan was present throughout.

"Hehehe… Senior Wei, are there any specific Heaven And Earth Treasures you need?" Gu Zhizhen smiled.

"No, Her Majesty the Empress said that as long as it's a good treasure, she has them all," Xiao Fan said with a faint smile.

"Oh! In that case, let me take you to the Ming Family," Gu Zhizhen suggested with a smile.

"The Ming Family? What about them?" Xiao Fan asked.

"The Ming Family has many auction houses and countless treasures within their clan. If you see something you like, Senior Wei, you don't have to wait for an auction; you can just offer a price that satisfies the Ming Family and take it away," Gu Zhizhen smiled.

"That works. Take me there," Xiao Fan nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes!"

Gu Zhizhen nodded firmly and brought Xiao Fan to the Ming Family.

Gu Zhizhen directly stated Xiao Fan's background.

Gu Zhizhen represented the Gu Family.

When the Ming Family Patriarch learned of this, he immediately came to welcome them personally.

"Senior Wei! Hello, hello! Your arrival at our Ming Family truly brings light to our humble abode!"

The Ming Family Patriarch appeared and cupped his hands toward Xiao Fan, adopting a very, very low posture.

"Hehehe… It's fine, it's fine." Xiao Fan smiled. "Young Miss Gu said your Ming Family has quite a few good treasures, right?"

"Well… we do have some," the Ming Family Patriarch smiled and scratched his head.

"Hehehe… Let's not waste time. Whatever good treasures you have, take me to see them all," Xiao Fan said with a faint smile. "As long as I take a liking to them, death spirit stones are not an issue!"

"Good! Splendid! This way, please!"

The Ming Family Patriarch nodded and made an inviting gesture.

Afterward, Xiao Fan, Gu Zhizhen, Xiao Xuan, and the others entered the Ming Family residence.

The Ming Family Patriarch took Xiao Fan to see many rare and excellent treasures.

Xiao Fan was very satisfied and directly used death spirit stones to buy several items.

"Hehehe… A pity, I think the others are just average."
