Chapter 6961: Rest Assured

To put it simply, Xiao Fan's method was to use enough Heaven And Earth Treasures to lure the Undying Empress here.

In their eyes, Xiao Fan's method was excellent.

If they were the Undying Empress, they certainly wouldn't visit a small city for no reason.

But if there were enough temptation, it would be a different story.

However, another problem was that they would have to hand over their Family's foundational treasures.

What if the Undying Empress didn't take an interest in these small families afterward? What would they do then?!

Wouldn't they have given away their Family's foundational treasures for nothing?

Xiao Fan scanned the surroundings and gave a faint smile. "Hehehe… Everyone, I understand your concerns, but you might not realize that the Undying Empress actually doesn't lack death spirit stones. She is an expert of the Emperor Tribulation Realm, do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was startled.

"Lord Wei, what do you mean?" a Family Patriarch asked in a low voice.

"Hehehe… I will buy them from your hands at a fair price," Xiao Fan said with a faint smile.

As soon as these words were spoken, the various Family Patriarchs of Abyss City were overjoyed.

"Good! That's a great idea!"

"Lord Wei! This idea of yours is too wonderful!"

"But, would that really be alright?!"

"…"

The various Family Patriarchs of Abyss City spoke up one after another, casting inquiring gazes toward Xiao Fan.

"You don't understand the Undying Empress. In truth, Her Majesty doesn't like owing favors."

Hearing Xiao Fan say this, the various Family Patriarchs of Abyss City smiled with satisfaction.

But then, Xiao Fan suddenly said, "However, I don't have many death spirit stones on me right now. The people delivering the death spirit stones are on their way. Can you wait? Or rather! You can give me your treasured Heaven And Earth Treasures first, and I will use them to attract the Undying Empress here so you can meet her. When the time comes, we'll exchange the payment for the goods. How about it?!"

If it were before, these Family Patriarchs of Abyss City might not have been willing.

But now, they simply had no other choice.

If they refused Xiao Fan, they would be slighting his Face.

What if he didn't let them see the Undying Empress after that?

To catch a glimpse of the Undying Empress, the Family Patriarchs of Abyss City decided to risk it all and agreed one after another.

Xiao Fan nodded with satisfaction.

"Thank you all for your trust, thank you," Xiao Fan said with a smile, cupping his hands.

Afterward, those Family Patriarchs of Abyss City departed.

Soon, they brought out their most prized Heaven And Earth Treasures and handed them over to Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan kept a record of all the amounts.

The person responsible for the recording was Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Fan stated that the Gu Family would act as a guarantor for this matter.

This allowed the Family Patriarchs of Abyss City to feel more at ease.

Hearing Xiao Fan say this, those Family Patriarchs of Abyss City felt even more reassured.

In just a few days, Xiao Fan obtained countless Heaven And Earth Treasures.

"Dad, this plan of yours is too incredible!"

Xiao Xuan was extremely excited and gave Xiao Fan a big thumbs up.

"Hehehe… It's alright," Xiao Fan said with a faint smile.

"The time is about right; we should leave."

"When are we leaving?!" Xiao Xuan laughed. "I've been here long enough."

"No rush. Go find out where the Gu Family's treasury is. We'll leave after we've looted it," Xiao Fan said with a chuckle.

"Okay, Dad," Xiao Xuan nodded repeatedly and turned to leave.

Soon, Xiao Xuan met with Gu Zhizhen.

Nominally, Xiao Xuan was Gu Zhizhen's live-in son-in-law.

"Hehehe… Xiao Xuan, you've been getting quite close to Lord Wei lately," Gu Zhizhen said with a faint smile.

"Yes, it's for the good of the Gu Family. Lord Wei is a confidant of the Undying Empress; he will be of help to our Gu Family in the future," Xiao Xuan said with a smile.

"Hehehe… Very good. You can rest assured; as long as you stay by my side faithfully, there will definitely be a place for you in our Gu Family."

"Mm, I know," Xiao Xuan nodded with a smile, chatting happily with Gu Zhizhen.

Gu Zhizhen really wanted to take Xiao Xuan right then and there.

But Xiao Xuan said there was no rush; he needed things to be done properly and formally.

Regarding this, Gu Zhizhen was also speechless.

"You're a man, why do you care about that?!"

"I do care. A man's Face is still his Face," Xiao Xuan nodded.

"Fine, what can I do since I've taken a liking to you?" Gu Zhizhen sneered.

As they chatted, Xiao Xuan began to probe indirectly, asking about the location of the Gu Family's treasury.

The Gu Family had two treasuries: one was the public treasury, and the other was a hidden treasury.

Gu Zhizhen was a direct descendant of the Gu Family Patriarch, so she definitely knew about this.

"Why are you asking about that?!" Gu Zhizhen frowned and asked curiously.

"Lately, Lord Wei has been wandering around a lot. You know how he is; he loves all kinds of Heaven And Earth Treasures. I'm afraid he might end up there."
