Chapter 6960: A Great Idea

Hearing Xiao Xuan's words, the Gu Family Patriarch's eyes lit up.

"Good! Xiao Xuan! This idea of yours is good! Very good!" The Gu Family Patriarch thought for a moment and nodded repeatedly.

Beside them, Gu Zhizhen also smiled.

"Xiao Xuan! To think you'd come up with such a clever plan! This is wonderful!"

"Since I've married into the Gu Family, I naturally want to contribute as well." Xiao Xuan smiled and scratched his head.

"Hahaha… Spread this news! After this, Wei Zhongshan will definitely have to help!" The Gu Family Patriarch nodded repeatedly.

"Zhizhen! Go! Spread this matter with even greater intensity! Do you understand?"

"I understand, Father." Gu Zhizhen nodded repeatedly and immediately went to carry it out.

Xiao Xuan would handle this matter and use this line of reasoning later.

Neither the Gu Family Patriarch nor Gu Zhizhen would be suspicious.

They would think that Xiao Xuan wanted to perform well and had done this intentionally.

Little did they know.

They had fallen right into the trap.

A few days later.

The patriarchs of the various Families in Mingyuan City all learned of this matter.

"It's been confirmed! Senior Wei said that he's going to take the Gu Family Patriarch to see the Undying Empress!"

"If the Undying Empress could give a few pointers! What an honor! Sigh~~~"

"Damn it! When we went to the Gu Family before, he actually wouldn't admit it!!"

"What should we do? Such a good opportunity! Are we just going to watch with our eyes wide open?!"

"…"

As fellow patriarchs of Families in Mingyuan City, they certainly didn't want to watch the Gu Family Patriarch go to see the Undying Empress.

If the Gu Family gained her favor, wouldn't they be suppressed by them in the future?

"We have to find a way to curry favor with Lord Wei! That's our only option!"

"How do we curry favor with him?!"

"I seem to have heard that many of the Gu Family Patriarch's treasures were given for free!"

"I heard that too! It was that Xiao Xuan who said it!"

"…"

Rumors of all kinds spread extremely quickly.

The patriarchs of the Mingyuan City Families discussed it among themselves.

That Xiao Xuan had married into the Gu Family as Gu Zhizhen's matrilocal son-in-law was something everyone in Mingyuan City knew.

Gu Zhizhen had now confirmed this matter as well; it was indeed the truth.

The way to curry favor with Xiao Fan was also easy to imagine.

And that was to give gifts!

Give massive amounts of gifts!!

Thus, the patriarchs of the various Mingyuan City Families went to the Gu Family one after another.

They brought out all sorts of rare and exotic treasures just to curry favor with Xiao Fan.

Seeing the various treasures, Xiao Fan shook his head and gave a bitter smile.

"What are you all doing? I don't have many death spirit stones left on me."

Hearing Xiao Fan say this, the patriarchs expressed that they were all free gifts.

"Lord Wei! Please just accept them! It's a small token of our appreciation."

"Lord Wei! Please, don't be so polite!"

"Lord Wei, these things are our tribute to you."

"…"

"A tribute to me?"

Xiao Fan crossed his arms and smiled faintly. "Why should you give tribute to me? I shouldn't receive rewards without merit."

As soon as these words were spoken, the various Family patriarchs began to speak one after another.

"Lord Wei! We also want to meet the Undying Empress! Is it possible?"

"Just a glimpse from afar! If we could even say a word to her, that would be wonderful!"

"Lord Wei! Could you please help us out?!"

"…"

The patriarchs of these Mingyuan City Families all wanted to establish a connection with the Undying Empress.

Xiao Fan was taking advantage of this very point, which was why he had deliberately set the trap.

"This matter… it's actually possible." Xiao Fan stroked his chin and thought for a moment.

Hearing Xiao Fan say this, the patriarchs of the Mingyuan City Families were all overjoyed.

But immediately after, Xiao Fan said that with so many people wanting to see the Undying Empress, it definitely wouldn't work.

What was the Undying Empress's status, after all?

To this, everyone expressed their understanding.

If Xiao Fan had said that the Undying Empress was willing to see all of them, they wouldn't have believed it.

But Xiao Fan mentioned another way.

And that was to have the Undying Empress come here.

"How can we get the Undying Empress to come here, Brother Wei?!" someone in the crowd asked.

"Hehehe… What is my mission? Have you all forgotten?"

Xiao Fan crossed his arms and gave a playful smile. "As long as enough Heaven And Earth Treasures are collected! The Undying Empress will surely be willing to make a trip personally."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

In their eyes, Xiao Fan had come to Mingyuan City to collect Heaven And Earth Treasures to prepare for the forging of an emperor dao divine weapon for the Undying Empress.

"Then, Lord Wei, what do you mean?"

"Hehehe… Everyone, does your Family still have any foundational treasures? If you are all willing to sell them, the Undying Empress will certainly come for a visit," Xiao Fan said with a smile.

At these words, the patriarchs of the Mingyuan City Families looked at each other.

"Good idea!"

"This method is good!"

"Wonderful! Simply wonderful!!"

"…"
