The kinder their smiles were, the more nervous Yang Fan felt.
These two were peerless masters at the peak of the Grand Master Realm. They were the most powerful people in West Chu City, but now they kept smiling at him. Their tone was so amiable, and they looked at him as if he was their own grandson.
It was too abnormal!
Last time when he met Grandmaster Zhu Huanan on the virtual phone, although Zhu Huanan also showed some appreciation for him, it was only the usual concern of a senior for a junior. He was not as enthusiastic as he was now, so enthusiastic that it was a little scary.
And Teacher Zhu's words were also somewhat inexplicable. What did she mean by "at least you didn't lose face for me"?
Come on, they were clearly not very familiar with each other, okay?
What on earth did these two masters want to do?
Yang Fan was so flustered that he couldn't help but start to use the charm skill on the two of them.
He didn't expect to succeed at once. In fact, in the face of two masters at the peak of the Grand Master Realm, it was impossible to succeed under normal circumstances.
He was just betting on the 5% defense-ignoring attribute in the charm skill.
The more he tried, the more likely he would succeed, right?
"You used the charm skill on Zhu Huanan, who is at the peak of the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm. The charm failed. Zhu Huanan is alert. Skill proficiency + 1."
"You used the charm skill on Zhu Yiping, who is at the peak of the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm. The charm failed. Zhu Yiping is alert. Skill proficiency + 1."
"…"
Every time he used the charm skill, it would consume 40 points of Yang Fan's mental strength reserve. After using it ten times in a row, he had consumed 400 points of mental strength, but he didn't succeed.
Zhu Huanan and Zhu Yiping looked at each other. They were a little amused as they looked at the little guy who was constantly using his mental strength to hypnotize them.
Who gave him so much confidence that he dared to use mental attacks on two masters at the peak of the Grand Master Realm?
A Level Four Spirit Reader was indeed very good, but it was only very good. As long as they wanted to, they could kill a bunch of Spirit Reader Masters at this level with one finger.
"Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. If he dares to mess around with other Grand Master Peak experts outside, he will not live long."
Zhu Huanan whispered to Zhu Yiping, "Second Aunt, do you think I should teach him a lesson so that he won't lose his life in the future?"
"How dare you!" Zhu Yiping glared at him and said, "I think this child is not bad. At least when facing a strong enemy, he is not afraid!"
"Hmph, you must have scared him just now. Otherwise, with this mother's amiable face, how could this child be so uneasy?"
Zhu Huanan shrugged his shoulders speechlessly. Who was the one who asked me to bring her here? Now, you're blaming me?
"That's enough, Yang Fan!" Zhu Huanan waved his hand and dispersed Yang Fan's mental attack once again. He said to Yang Fan, "I didn't call you here with ill intentions. Otherwise, with your little cultivation, do you think you can escape?"
Yang Fan was shaken to the point that he took a step back.
The strength of Grandmaster Huanan was indeed unfathomable. He actually used the power of a Qi and blood martial artist to directly defeat the invisible mental power he released.
Awesome.
However, the 5% chance of ignoring defense of the charm skill was really a bit of a scam. It was not good.
He had used it almost 20 times, but it was not triggered once.
Now, both Grandmaster Huanan and Teacher Zhu were alert and began to warn him. If he continued, he would be asking for a beating.
Yang Fan instantly became very obedient and did not dare to provoke them again.
After all, most of his mental power had been consumed, and he still had to reserve some for life-saving purposes.
"I'm sorry to make a fool of myself. I was just joking with the two seniors just now. I mean no harm. Seniors, please be magnanimous and don't take offense!"
Yang Fan smiled extremely awkwardly. Seeing that Zhu Huanan and Zhu Yiping did not seem to be unhappy, he felt a little relieved.
Actually, he also knew that Grandmaster Huanan's words were not wrong. If the two seniors in front of him had any ill intentions, they would not have wasted so much time talking to him.
Moreover, under normal circumstances, Yang Fan would not be able to resist. At least in the eyes of Zhu Huanan and Zhu Yiping, Yang Fan should not have the slightest ability to resist.
Whether it was the Charm skill, which had a chance of ignoring one's defense, or the Soul Spiritual Skill, which could make a person freeze for a second, both were simply too incredible. They simply could not imagine that such skills would appear on Yang Fan's body.
"Go away, go away. Look at you. You scared the child." Zhu Yiping kicked Zhu Huanan to the side and continued to speak to Yang Fan with a pleasant expression. "Student Yang Fan, your actions just now were not inappropriate. You must know that you may know a person for a long time without understanding their true nature. It is difficult to draw the bones of a person. When you go out, you must maintain a trace of vigilance against everyone. This is not wrong!"
Yang Fan stared blankly at Zhu Yiping. Just now, he seemed to have seen Zhu Yiping raise her leg and kick Grandmaster Huanan, but Grandmaster Huanan did not even fart.
Was she that awesome?
She even dared to kick Grandmaster Huanan. Just who was this woman?
"Thank you for your teachings, Teacher Zhu. This student will definitely work harder in the future!" Yang Fan unconsciously moved closer to Zhu Yiping. Compared to Zhu Huanan, this Aunt Zhu seemed to be friendlier to him.
More importantly, of course, he had to choose the thicker thighs. Compared to Grandmaster Huanan, this Aunt Zhu's thighs were clearly thicker.
"That's a good boy!" Zhu Yiping chuckled. Her laughter was clear and gentle, making people feel relaxed and happy.
"Come, tell me obediently. Yesterday at the City Governor's Office, were you the one who secretly killed Xia Pu?"
Yang Fan decisively shook his head. "Teacher Zhu, don't scare me. I am timid and have never killed anyone. Yesterday, I just couldn't stand Xia Pu's arrogance and made a move to stop him for a second. Who knew that he would be so unlucky and directly hit the Great City Barrier? "
Yang Fan seriously shirked responsibility. The one who killed was the Great City Barrier. It had nothing to do with him. Even if he was beaten to death, he would not admit it.
Zhu Huanan squinted his eyes and looked at Yang Fan with some doubt. A Level 4 Spirit Reader was actually able to imprison a Level 9 Martial Ancestor?
This child was not honest. He was obviously not telling the truth.
However, it was enough to know that he had done it. As for how he had done it, Zhu Huanan was actually not very concerned. After all, in the apocalypse, who did not have a trump card?
Zhu Huanan breathed a sigh of relief. It was actually a good thing that Yang Fan had done it. At least he did not have to spend any more effort to search for the Peak of Grand Master.
At this time, if an unknown Peak of Grand Master suddenly appeared in West Chu City, he would have an even bigger headache.
"Yes, Xia Pu was indeed too unlucky. He actually hit the Great City Barrier himself. His death was not regrettable." Zhu Yiping smiled and said to Yang Fan, "This matter has nothing to do with you. In the future, no one will cause you any trouble because of this."
Yang Fan was slightly taken aback. This Auntie Zhu was too easy to talk to. Why did it sound like she was siding with him from her words?
This did not make sense. They were neither relatives nor friends. Why was she so good to him?
Yang Fan looked up at Zhu Yiping suspiciously. Could it be that his appearance was so good that he could attract both the young and the old?
"In three days, the Guardian's Mansion will hold a resource competition among the martial arts schools in the northwest." Zhu Yiping said bluntly, "At that time, you will lead the team and represent the South China Martial Arts School to participate in the competition. You must win first place."
"The School Resource Office is having a hard time now, especially after paying the basic quota for this resource competition trial. If there are not enough resources to supplement it, it will go bankrupt soon."
Yang Fan suddenly understood. This might be the reason why the two big bosses suddenly called him over.
Yang Fan had heard about the resource competition in the Guardian's Mansion.
It was similar to the resource competition trial held by the South China Martial Arts School. However, the competition in the South China Martial Arts School was between the classes, while the resource competition held by the Guardian's Mansion was between the martial arts schools in various cities in the northwest.
The ranking of the results determined how many cultivation resources each martial arts school would receive from the Guardian's Mansion in the following year.
These resources were all allocated by the government of the Federation to the martial arts schools every year. It was a special education fund. The hope was that the Federation could cultivate more and more talented martial artists for the human race.
In the past, the South China Martial Arts School's ranking among the 24 cities in the northwest was not very high. They were only at the middle level, and the resources they received were often not satisfactory.
It seemed that this year, the South China Martial Arts School wanted to cut off all means of retreat and take first place in one fell swoop.
"Leave it to me. No problem!"
Yang Fan nodded in agreement without hesitation. Whether it was fighting with people or hunting monsters, it was the best way for him to gain experience. He wished he could have this kind of opportunity every day.
Zhu Huanan looked up at Zhu Yiping speechlessly. He shook his head lightly and did not refute.
Three days later was the day he was going to make his move against Xia Chunqiu. Second Aunt had sent Yang Fan to the Guardian's Mansion at this time. Her meaning was clear.
She did not have confidence in him!
However, sending Yang Fan to the Guardian's Mansion to participate in the competition for resources between the schools was not a bad choice. This kid was a level one martial arts master and a level four spirit reader. At the same time, he also had a level five spirit reader pet to assist him in battle. His strength alone was enough to crush the 24 schools in the northwest.
This trip to the Guardian's Mansion could be considered as him winning glory for the South China Martial Arts School and West Chu City.
"Don't be too cocky when you go to the Guardian's Mansion. If you can restrain yourself, try to restrain yourself." Zhu Huanan could not help but remind him, "If you perform too well, it will be hard to avoid being coveted by others. The Guardian's Mansion is not our West Chu City. When you go there, there will be no one to support you and wipe your ass."
Yang Fan nodded lightly in deep agreement.
Keeping a low profile had always been his principle. He never knew what it meant to be cocky.
It was just that sometimes, when a person was too outstanding, no matter how much he wanted to keep a low profile, he could not hide the light of his genius that stood out from the masses.
What was the point of showing off and slapping faces? Sometimes, one really had no choice.
