Just as Chen Guang and Yang Fan walked out of Xia Tianlai's courtyard, they were stopped by Xia Luo and Zhao Fengchen.
Xia Luo's face was pale and his legs were as weak as noodles when he walked. If not for Zhao Fengchen supporting him, Yang Fan suspected that he would have fallen to the ground at any moment.
Even so, after hearing the commotion in Xia Tianlai's courtyard, Xia Luo, who had just woken up, insisted on bringing people over to check on the situation.
When he saw Chen Guang and Yang Fan, the anger on his face flared up as he pointed at Yang Fan. "It's you again, you brat! Even now, you still dare to cause trouble in my Xia Family?! You're simply courting death! "
Chen Guang felt very awkward.
He was a living person and he was standing in front of Yang Fan. More importantly, his cultivation and status were much higher than Yang Fan's.
However, Xia Luo could not see him and completely ignored him!
What kind of logic was this?!
Could it be that I, who had lived half his life, was still inferior to a mere Martial Disciple … a level nine youth?
Chen Guang started to doubt himself. Could it be that his sense of existence had fallen to such a serious extent?
Yang Fan was also very embarrassed. He did not expect to meet the main character after drinking the immortal serum. He felt as though he had been caught red-handed in bed.
He felt very guilty.
However, after hearing Xia Luo's question, Yang Fan's face straightened and he naturally ignored all the unspeakable things he had done. He looked at Xia Luo confidently and said, "Your Xia Family has shamelessly bullied me twice in school and I almost lost my life on the spot. This young master naturally has to seek justice!"
With that, Yang Fan instantly felt that he had become the righteous party. He was here to seek justice and that bottle of immortal serum was the Xia Family's compensation for his mental state.
Hmm, this might not be enough!
Chen Guang could not help but turn around and glare at Yang Fan. Did this kid think that the matter was not big enough?
A wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him.
Don't you see that the other side has the advantage in numbers? There are a lot of high level guards. If you continue to provoke them so blatantly, do you believe that they won't charge at you in anger and teach you how to behave?
"Misunderstanding, this is all a misunderstanding. Please don't listen to this child's nonsense. We're only here to pay a visit to City Lord Xia and resolve the grudges between the two sides. We have no other intentions!"
Chen Guang softly explained. However, his gaze was constantly sizing up the people before him, secretly judging their strength.
Chen Guang had witnessed Zhao Fengchen's skills on the school's rooftop. Zhao Fengchen was able to fight evenly with Wang Zhe before he made a breakthrough, which meant that Zhao Fengchen's overall strength wasn't beneath his.
As for Xia Luo, he might seem a little weak, but he was still a pinnacle Martial Master. Even Chen Guang wouldn't be able to take him down in a short period of time. If it was Yang Fan, it would be even more impossible for him to take Xia Luo down. He would only be tortured.
There were also the seven guards behind Xia Luo and Zhao Fengchen. They were all high-ranked Martial Masters. The weakest among them was a Grade 5 Martial Master and could not be underestimated.
In short, there was no way they could win!
Thus, when Chen Guang spoke, he had already placed his hand on Yang Fan's right arm and was prepared to run at any moment.
"Is that so?" Zhao Fengchen's lips curled in disdain. "Could it be that your so-called solution is to bring a Master Scholar over to have a duel with our City Lord before luring him out of the city?"
When he said those words, Zhao Fengchen felt a little sour in his heart. He had clearly seen the short fight between Wang Zhe and Xia Tianlai from the courtyard next door. He never expected that Wang Zhe, who was still evenly matched with him a few hours ago, would become an Evolved Jing master in the blink of an eye!
How could he reason with this?
Zhao Fengchen believed that his talent wasn't bad, but he had been stuck at the pinnacle of Martial Master for nearly thirty years. Even now, he didn't see any hope of taking that final step. He felt that the heavens were truly blind.
Didn't the heavens reward the diligent? Was it all eaten by dogs?
Chen Guang smiled awkwardly and continued to speak without thinking, "That's because the two Evolved Jing masters were excited to see each other. After all, whether it's City Lord Xia or Evolved Jing master Wang Zhe, they both became Evolved Jing masters today. It's understandable that they wanted to test each other's strength."
Xia Luo's gaze finally shifted away from Yang Fan and he turned to Chen Guang in astonishment. "What nonsense are you talking about? When did my cousin become an Evolved Jing master? Why didn't I know about it?"
That sentence exposed the fact that this blockhead had just woken up and was still in the dark.
Yang Fan rolled his eyes and revealed an extremely shocked expression. "What? You actually didn't know about it?"
"That can't be. Wasn't it all because of you that City Lord Xia could break through and become a Grade 2 Martial Ancestor?"
"If you didn't donate blood and provide him with the Undying Serum to activate the Undying Bloodline in his body, how could he become an Evolved Jing master so quickly? In this matter, you're the biggest contributor! "
"It's a pity that you sacrificed yourself for others by donating too much blood. You actually wasted the opportunity to awaken your bloodline. Tsk, tsk, tsk. If you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid it'll be difficult for you to become an Evolved Jing master in the future!"
Xia Luo was stunned.
Donate blood?
When did I donate blood? Why didn't I know about it?
There was also the bloodline awakening. When he was unconscious, he faintly sensed that his bloodline had indeed undergone an earth-shattering change. However, when he woke up, these changes seemed to have all been hidden. For a time, he thought that it was an illusion when he was unconscious.
So it was actually Xia Luo, his most respected cousin, who had stolen his bloodline and cut off his path to breaking through?
No wonder he felt that both his blood and Qi were lacking when he woke up. Even his strength had decreased by more than half! After that, not to mention becoming a Martial Ancestor, he might not even be able to return to the peak of Martial Master.
No wonder after he woke up, he always had a faint trace of regret in his heart. He always felt that he had lost a great opportunity!
It turned out that all of this was because of his cousin!
Xia Luo's mind was in a daze. He didn't dare to believe it. He suddenly turned to Zhao Fengchen, who had been guarding him all this time. "Old Zhao, tell me, is this true?!"
Zhao Fengchen fiercely glared at Yang Fan and flatly denied, "Commander Xia Luo, don't listen to that brat's nonsense. He's clearly trying to sow discord. He's not trustworthy."
"What Undying Bloodline? What Undying Serum? Even I haven't heard of these things. What could a little child like him know?"
Although he said this, Zhao Fengchen's heart was far from as calm as his face.
Because what Yang Fan said was actually consistent with his previous conjectures. The only difference was that Zhao Fengchen didn't know what bloodline Xia Luo had awakened.
However, when he saw Xia Luo's reaction when he heard the words' Undying Bloodline ', Zhao Fengchen was actually certain that Yang Fan wasn't lying. The words' Undying Bloodline 'and' Undying Serum 'were not randomly made up. They were real!
Therefore, Zhao Fengchen was even more puzzled and curious. Even he, the Deputy City Lord who had always lived in the City Governor's Office, didn't know about all of this. How did Yang Fan know?
Hearing Zhao Fengchen's explanation, Xia Luo didn't say anything. Instead, he suddenly raised his right arm and pointed at the needle holes that hadn't completely healed. He questioned sternly, "Then explain to me, what's going on with these needle holes?!"
Zhao Fengchen was instantly speechless.
This was the only flaw they had left on Xia Luo. They didn't expect Xia Luo to have discovered it long ago.
However, this wasn't strange. Although Xia Luo didn't like to use his brain to think, he wasn't really stupid. How could he not notice that he had lost almost all of his blood essence?
"That …" Under Xia Luo's gaze, Zhao Fengchen lowered his head and honestly said, "The City Lord did indeed have someone draw some blood when you were unconscious. He said that this is the responsibility and obligation that every descendant of the Xia family should bear. If he was in your position, there would also be other clansmen who would draw his blood. "
Even now, Zhao Fengchen still didn't forget to cover up for Xia Luo.
After Xia Luo heard this, his mind actually relaxed. "My cousin really said that?"
Zhao Fengchen nodded repeatedly. "Indeed. After drawing the blood, the City Lord even took out a Level 6 Demon King's blood essence for you to consume, so that you could recover quickly."
"Surnamed Zhao, don't try to confuse the public here. What's the use of bowing and apologizing hypocritically after killing someone?"
Yang Fan curled his lips and interrupted, "Don't do those useless things. Do you dare to say in front of everyone how much blood essence was drawn from Xia Luo?"
"Don't even think about lying. The eyes of the masses are as clear as snow. Moreover, Commander Xia Luo definitely knows exactly how much blood essence he lost. If you dare to speak less or more, Commander Xia definitely won't spare you!"
Thinking of the 300 milliliters of immortal serum that he had found in the safe, Yang Fan couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle. Although he didn't know what proportion of blood was needed to refine the immortal serum, 300 milliliters wasn't a small number. To refine so much immortal serum, the amount of fresh blood needed was definitely not small!
Zhao Fengchen's mouth twitched. It's this brat again! Just how much does he know?!
"Speak, Old Zhao!" Xia Luo also raised his head and glanced at Yang Fan. However, he quickly shifted his gaze back to Zhao Fengchen's face. "Tell me, how much blood essence did Xia Tianlai draw from me?"
"Three … three thousand nine hundred milliliters!"
Zhao Fengchen hesitated for a moment before deciding to tell the truth.
Although the little bastard opposite him was very annoying, what he said was actually correct. Xia Luo wasn't a fool. How could he not have sensed the sudden loss of so much blood essence in his body?
Moreover, Yang Fan's words of 'the eyes of the crowd are as clear as snow' made Zhao Fengchen's heart pound.
Right now, he didn't dare to confirm whether Yang Fan already knew everything. If he lied about this matter, who knew if Yang Fan would expose him in the next second?
This little bastard definitely had a spy in this residence!
Following that, when Zhao Fengchen's words fell, not only did Xia Luo's body tremble, even Chen Guang and Yang Fan trembled in shock.
"How much?! Three thousand nine hundred milliliters?! "
Yang Fan rejoiced inwardly as he exclaimed, "Is he trying to draw all of Commander Xia Luo's blood? If I remember correctly, the total amount of blood in a person's body is only slightly more than four liters. To draw three thousand nine hundred milliliters, how ruthless! "
"Even if he really needs to donate blood, there's no need to be in such a hurry. Can't he wait for Commander Xia Luo to wake up or complete his bloodline awakening before drawing blood?"
"Look at Commander Xia now. His blood essence has been drained, and his bloodline awakening process has been forcefully interrupted. Not only has his strength dropped greatly, I'm afraid it'll be difficult for him to break through to Evolved Jing in the future!"
Then, Yang Fan couldn't help but look at Xia Luo sympathetically. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. I have to say, it's really … a miracle that you're still alive after being tortured by your own cousin!"
Standing by the side, Chen Guang was also shocked. He never imagined that the sanctimonious Xia Tianlai would actually be so ruthless. In order to raise his own strength, he actually did such a thing to his own cousin!
At the same time, Chen Guang couldn't help but turn to look at Yang Fan, who was jumping up and down beside him, sparing no effort in sowing discord.
He felt that this kid was simply poisonous.
Wherever he went, he would cause a lot of trouble. However, these were secrets that were destined not to be made public. How did this kid know about them? Could it be from that safe?
"Shut the f * ck up! If you dare to spout nonsense again, do you believe that I won't tear you apart right now?! "
Xia Luo instantly flew into a rage. He couldn't stand being pitied by a weakling like this. Furthermore, this weakling was the main culprit behind all of this!
Yang Fan suddenly laughed.
Xia Luo had finally broken down!
This was the moment he had been waiting for!
Yang Fan praised with rapt attention. The mental energy that he had been accumulating for a long time instantly gushed out and went straight for Xia Luo, whose mental state had completely collapsed.
"You have used the charm skill on Level 9 Martial Master Xia Luo. The charm was a success. Xia Luo's favorability towards you has greatly increased! Mental Energy + 1, Willpower + 1, Skill Proficiency + 2. "
One shot into the soul, one shot was a success!
Oh yeah!
Yang Fan excitedly clenched his fists. Then, he simply went all out and used the charm on Zhao Fengchen, who was beside Xia Luo.
"You have used the charm skill on Level 9 Martial Master Zhao Fengchen. The charm failed. Zhao Fengchen seemed to have sensed it and became vigilant! Skill Proficiency + 1. "
Zhao Fengchen looked at Yang Fan with some vigilance. Yang Fan was not discouraged. In any case, he had nothing to do. With Chen Guang in front of him, even if Zhao Fengchen sensed something, he would not be able to do anything to him.
"You have used the charm skill on Level 9 Martial Master Zhao Fengchen. The charm failed. Zhao Fengchen seemed to have sensed it and became vigilant! Skill Proficiency + 1. "
"…"
"You have used the charm skill on Level 9 Martial Master Zhao Fengchen. The charm skill ignored defense and was triggered! Zhao Fengchen's favorability towards you has greatly increased! Mental Energy + 1, Willpower + 1, Skill Proficiency + 2. "
Success!
Yang Fan could not help but jump as a smile bloomed on his face.
