As though he could read Xiao Fan's mind, Ling Zhen quickly added, "My request is very simple. I hope that you can keep Xiaoxiao by your side for a period of time. Of course, while she's by your side, she'll take care of your daily life!"
"Hmm?"
Once Ling Zhen said that, other than Xiao Fan, everyone else was stunned.
At this moment, Zhang Feiyang and Cheng Long, who were behind Xiao Fan, were excited. They could not wait to kick Xiao Fan away and stand in Xiao Fan's place. They could not wait to agree to Ling Zhen's decision.
Ling Xiaoxiao's figure and appearance were impeccable. With such a beautiful woman by his side, taking care of his daily life and doing whatever he wanted her to do, damn it. Just thinking about it made him feel so good.
As for the reason behind Ling Zhen's decision? These two lustful idiots didn't care about so much!
"Dad, you …!"
Ling Xiaoxiao was stunned when she heard that. Her face was filled with grievance.
"Don't be in a hurry to object. I have my reasons for doing this!" Ling Zhen raised his hand and stopped Ling Xiaoxiao from saying anything. He then smiled bitterly. "You'll understand in the future!"
"What do I understand?" Ling Xiaoxiao looked wronged. Her eyes were red as she said, "You've already sold me out and still want me to be someone's maid. What else do I need to understand?"
"You silly girl. You don't know anything …!" Ling Zhen sighed.
Xiao Fan's eyes narrowed.
Others might not be able to guess Ling Zhen's thoughts, but Xiao Fan had been in that Xianxia world for five thousand years. What had he not seen?
There was only one reason for Ling Zhen's actions. He was protecting Ling Xiaoxiao.
If he guessed correctly, someone must have taken a fancy to Ling Xiaoxiao. Moreover, this person must have a strong background and was probably a cultivator. Ling Zhen was just an ordinary person and was unable to fight against this person. Furthermore, this person must have guessed that he was a cultivator, so he might as well send Ling Xiaoxiao to his side. To seek protection.
Xiao Fan had encountered this kind of thing several times in the past.
"Looks like you've already guessed it, my lord!"
Ling Zhen, who had been paying attention to the changes in Xiao Fan's expression, suddenly spoke. At this moment, he had changed the way he addressed Xiao Fan. After all, he had a request to make. There was nothing wrong with being more respectful.
"That's right, you guessed it right. However, I definitely didn't mean to scheme against you because I had no other choice, so …" My Lord, please take action! "Ling Zhen said bitterly.
Xiao Fan didn't answer. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Let's not talk about this first. I want to know, this is the first time we've met. What makes you think I have this ability?"
"Foundation Establishment Pill! I've never seen this kind of pill in the hands of other cultivators!" Ling Zhen smiled and said, "Since you possess such an item, it's sufficient to prove that you have an extraordinary background. He should also be someone with a strong background, and my enemy's background isn't that strong. Therefore, with your ability, it shouldn't be a problem for you to protect Xiaoxiao. "
"Is that so?" Xiao Fan revealed a faint smile on his face. Then, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then what makes you think that you're not a lamb in a tiger's den? Perhaps, on a whim, I …"
"My Lord, you chased my daughter away coldly that day. Would you?" Ling Zhen asked.
"That's hard to say. Perhaps I was just acting that day?" Xiao Fan said slowly.
Ling Zhen's face stiffened when he heard that. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He was someone who dared to take risks. Therefore, when they met for the first time, he dared to place all his bets and hopes on Xiao Fan after chatting and getting to know Xiao Fan.
However, there were no absolutes in this world. The most frightening thing was that you couldn't see through some people's true thoughts.
If Xiao Fan was really acting, he would be pushing Ling Xiaoxiao into a fire pit.
Looking at Ling Zhen, who was nervous and regretful, Xiao Fan smiled and shook his head. He didn't explain anything. Instead, he asked, "You seem to know quite a few cultivators. Why don't you look for other cultivators for help?"
"It's not that I don't want to, but I don't dare to!" A bitter smile appeared on Ling Zhen's face when he heard Xiao Fan's words. "Let's not talk about how greedy the cultivators I know are. They aren't picky when it comes to women. If I were to look for them, I would be pushing Xiao Xiao into a bottomless abyss!"
"Now that you've met me, a cultivator who seems to have some background and power, and who doesn't seem to be interested in Ling Xiaoxiao, you made this decision, right?" Xiao Fan continued Ling Zhen's words and nodded.
Ling Zhen nodded awkwardly.
"I can understand how you feel!" Xiao Fan glanced at Ling Xiaoxiao and said, "However, you and I have no relationship at all. If you use a simple piece of Moonstone information in exchange for your daughter's protection and trouble, you don't have enough bargaining chips!"
"I know!" Ling Zhen nodded and said, "So, I have another bargaining chip. Three days later, the Lingnan Cultivator Assembly will be held. I'm one of the people in charge of the assembly's daily affairs. On the second day of the assembly, there will be an internal trade fair. Only certain people can enter. If you can't enter and want to, I have a way to let you in! "
"Lingnan Cultivator Assembly?" Xiao Fan raised his eyebrows.
"You don't know?" Ling Zhen asked curiously when he saw Xiao Fan's reaction.
"I don't know!" Xiao Fan shook his head.
A look of surprise appeared on Ling Zhen's face.
The Lingnan Cultivators Assembly was one of the famous gatherings for cultivators in Huaxia. It was held once a year. Every time, other than the local cultivators from Lingnan, many cultivators from other places would also come from afar.
At the assembly, cultivators from all over could trade, auction, communicate, and interact. It was very lively.
Ordinary low-level cultivators would know about this famous assembly. Xiao Fan looked like he came from a good background. How could he not know about it?
However, it was just as well!
Ling Zhen was worried that his bargaining chip was too low and that Xiao Fan might not agree to it. This was because Xiao Fan might have a way to enter the internal trade fair. Ling Zhen tried to suggest this because he couldn't find any bargaining chips.
Now, it seemed that his bargaining chip was much higher than he had imagined. Therefore, if nothing went wrong, Xiao Fan would agree to the deal.
It should be known that the things in the internal trade fair were the real good stuff. Those who were qualified to enter were all famous people.
Coincidentally, Ling Zhen was in charge of the inspection of the internal trade fair. It was within his authority to let someone in.
Although cultivators were superior, they couldn't do many trivial things themselves. They needed ordinary people like Ling Zhen to do it.
A smile appeared on Ling Zhen's face. (To be continued.)
