"A man of striking appearance!"
"The younger generation will surpass us in time!"
When they saw Yang Fan, Changsun Jiaci and Shangguan Zhizhen's eyes glowed just like Yao Puxin, and their faces were covered in praise. They were like mothers-in-law who had seen a handsome son-in-law, and they were more and more satisfied the more they looked at him, to the point they were on the verge of drooling.
Yang Fan felt slightly smug from being so welcomed by these big shots.
But he didn't dare get too smug. He knew why these people were so interested in him, and it was none other than because they attached importance to his identity as an Emperor Rank physician and Emperor Rank necromancer.
This was a good thing, but also a bad thing at the same time.
Yang Fan was sure.
If it wasn't for the fact that he had Gu Zeyan, Liu Silong, and the other Half-step Monarch Realm experts standing behind him to protect him, these big shots who seemed to admire and be extremely kind to him would have transformed into demons at any moment, and they would fight to take Yang Fan back home and raise him in captivity.
Most of the experts in this era were like this, and Yang Fan had become accustomed to it since a long time ago.
After all, if one wanted to tenaciously survive in this era where demon beasts ran amok and every day was precarious, then it was normal for the strong to prey on the weak and fight for resources.
Those who were able to forcefully rise up in this era and become a Region Lord could be called ambitious and ruthless. Every single one of them had blood on their hands, and their hearts were firm like iron since a long time ago.
Yang Fan remembered very clearly that the Region Lords of the 33 regions of the Federation had jointly requested him to leave the capital and patrol the various regions. Amongst those Region Lords who seemed to be extremely kind to him, Changsun Jiaci and Shangguan Zhizhen were amongst them.
Even though Yang Fan didn't know who the Region Lords of these regions were in the past, it didn't stop him from making a note of all these Guard Estates in his little notebook.
Even though their crimes were inferior to the instigators of the Clear River Guard Estate and Changmeng Guard Estate, as accomplices, they were still worthy of Yang Fan properly remembering.
After the current crisis was over, Yang Fan could slowly settle the score with them.
For example, medical expenses would increase by 200%, or the wholesale price of Emperor-level Soul Refining Golden Pills would increase by three to two times.
"My subordinates were deceived and made the decision on their own. I hope that you won't take it to heart, little friend Yang Fan."
Zhangsun Jiaci smiled as he looked at Yang Fan, his expression sincere.
"As for the Deputy City Lord who signed on behalf of I, he has now been fired and imprisoned by I. He has received the punishment he deserved! If Little Friend feels that it's not enough to vent your anger, I'll send someone to deliver that bastard to Little Friend later. Little Friend, you can do whatever you want with him. What do you think? "
Yang Fan's mouth twitched.
This way of shirking responsibility was really refreshing.
However, Zhangsun Jiaci had already given him a lot of face by not pushing out a temporary worker to do something half-hearted. At this juncture, Yang Fan naturally wouldn't cause any more trouble.
Shangguan Zhizhen also softly interjected at this time, saying crisply, "Previously, I had been in closed-door cultivation, so I wasn't very clear about the joint signing. However, if Little Friend Yang Fan has a grudge, I can send someone to thoroughly investigate this matter now. I will definitely give Little Friend a satisfactory explanation. "
Alright, this Big Sister's apology was even less sincere than Zhangsun Jiaci's.
Zhangsun Jiaci had also pushed out a Deputy City Lord to block the arrow, but Shangguan Zhizhen only moved her mouth without any substantial measures or sincerity.
Regarding this, Yang Fan chuckled and put on a magnanimous appearance. He lightly waved his hand and said, "Junior doesn't dare. Senior Zhangsun and Senior Shangguan are too serious. Everyone is not a saint. Who doesn't make mistakes?"
"Moreover, Junior isn't that kind of petty person. Senior being able to personally come today, Junior is already very grateful. How can I still fuss about the previous matter? This matter is over, it's over! "
Zhangsun Jiaci and Shangguan Zhizhen nodded in satisfaction, feeling that this young man was still quite sensible. He knew when to advance and when to retreat. He was a promising talent.
Only Gu Zeyan, Liu Silong, Wu Dao, and Ling Tian who had a little understanding of Yang Fan twitched their lips at the same time, silently mourning for Zhangsun Jiaci and Shangguan Zhizhen in their hearts.
If anyone really believed that Yang Fan wasn't that kind of petty person, that person was guaranteed to be in big trouble.
Didn't they see that Cui Deshou and Mo Anran weren't invited to the Capital's gathering this time?
If Zhangsun Jiaci and Shangguan Zhizhen knew how Yang Fan was going to deal with Cui Deshou and Mo Anran, as well as the family forces behind them, the two of them probably wouldn't be so carefree anymore, thinking that Yang Fan was very magnanimous.
However, the few of them didn't have the slightest intention of reminding Zhangsun and Shangguan.
Originally, a few sincere apologies would have been enough to clear up the misunderstanding. However, the two of them had been so arrogant and had come up with all sorts of excuses to shirk the responsibility. It served them right to be remembered by the narrow-minded Yang Fan.
"Little friend Yang Fan is really magnanimous. Junior I admires you!" Zhangsun Jiaci chuckled and didn't hesitate to flatter Yang Fan. Then, he changed the topic and said softly, "Actually, this time, other than attending this gathering, Junior I also brought an elder from the family over. I want to beg Little friend Yang Fan to treat him."
Shangguan Zhizhen interjected again, "My Shangguan family also brought an elder over to seek treatment. I hope Little friend can let bygones be bygones and treat him this once!"
It wasn't easy for them to come over, so these people naturally wouldn't miss such a good opportunity to seek treatment.
They didn't dare to bring too many people over at once, but secretly bringing one along would reduce the risk by a lot.
Therefore, at this Capital's gathering, many domain lords didn't come alone. More or less, they would bring along an Emperor-level injured person for treatment.
On the side, seeing that Zhangsun Jiaci and Shangguan Zhizhen had already spoken, Yao Puxin also couldn't help but step forward to interrupt and take the opportunity to push out the injured person he brought from the Federal Center City.
In the end, before he could take a step forward, he was silently restrained by Wu Dao's spiritual power.
"Hmm?"
The restraint was immediately released, but there was more of a warning and reminder. Yao Puxin was startled and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Wu Dao.
Seeing Wu Dao slightly shake his head at him, Yao Puxin instantly understood. Although he didn't know why, he still tactfully stood where he was and didn't say anything.
"Seek treatment?" A trace of coldness flashed through Yang Fan's eyes. He chuckled and readily agreed, "What's the problem? This junior is a doctor. Treating and saving people is my duty."
"How about this, after today's matter, I ask the two seniors to stay in the capital for two more days. This junior will definitely treat the injuries of the two seniors with all his heart. I guarantee that once the illness is cured, you can return home together the next day."
Zhangsun Jiaci and Shangguan Zhizhen looked at each other, a trace of a happy smile appearing on their faces at the same time.
Sure enough, they were right. This Yang Fan was indeed a young man who was very easy to talk to.
Seeing the satisfaction on these two's faces, Gu Zeyan couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
These two little things, being the bosses of their respective territories, had spoiled them to the point of causing problems.
Or rather, from the bottom of their hearts, they actually still didn't put Yang Fan on the same level as them. Their words and actions all carried a lofty aura, bossy and arrogant.
Damn it.
Even if they wanted to seek treatment, couldn't they wait until the end of this gathering before privately asking?
Could it be that they didn't know that asking before the gathering and asking after the gathering were two completely different natures?
Gu Zeyan glanced at Zhangsun Jiaci and Shangguan Zhizhen. They were old monsters who had lived for more than a hundred years. Of course, they wouldn't be unaware of this, but they still chose to mention it before the gathering.
What did this mean?
This meant that they didn't take Yang Fan seriously at all and didn't care about Yang Fan's feelings at all. This was the typical attitude of a superior.
Really.
To think that Gu Zeyan thought very highly of them previously and specially pulled them into this small circle. He hoped that these two, as well as Yao Puxin, these three people who were currently ranked in the top five among the various regions in the Federation, would be able to get closer to Yang Fan.
He completely didn't expect that this would actually be the result.
"Forget it, it's hard to persuade a damned person with kind words. These two idiots are courting death themselves, so let them be!"
Gu Zeyan couldn't be bothered to open his mouth to remind them. After all, he was now standing on Yang Fan's side. Zhangsun Jiaci and Shangguan Zhizhen not taking Yang Fan seriously was also not giving him, Gu Zeyan, any face. Since that was the case, why should he care whether or not they would suffer in the future?
"Alright, let's get down to business!"
Gu Zeyan coughed lightly and said loudly, "Everyone present should already be very clear about the main purpose of the Capital Meeting this time. It is to help little friend Yang Fan get rid of the trouble of touring the various regions and once and for all dispel the covetous thoughts of some people towards little friend Yang Fan."
Gu Zeyan's gaze lightly swept across the faces of the people around him, and he said solemnly, "When the meeting officially begins later, this old man hopes to obtain the explicit support of all the Domain Lords present here. Is that alright?"
"No problem!"
"We will follow Senior's lead!"
Everyone cupped their hands and expressed their stance at the same time, all of them with expressions of full support. As for whether they would follow through with their words and actions later, only the heavens would know.
Yang Fan stood up at this time and took out a smaller jade box with a flip of his hand. He gently opened it on the table, smiled slightly, and said lightly,
"These four Golden Cores can be considered as a token of my gratitude to the four Region Lords in advance! I hope that the four Region Lords won't refuse them. "
One can't catch a wolf without risking one's child, and how can one catch a hoodlum without risking one's wife?
As far as Yang Fan was concerned, only sufficient benefits and benefits were the best way to bind these temporary allies.
As for the verbal agreement of using love to make love, it was only said, and it couldn't be taken seriously.
"This is … a peak Emperor Rank Golden Soul Refinement Pill?!"
Zhangsun Jiaci, Shangguan Zhizhen, and Yao Puxin stood up with astonishment at practically the exact same time.
Their faces were covered in astonishment!
All of them stared blankly at the four Golden Soul Refinement Pills within the jade box, and they sensed the powerful aura that emanated from them.
In fact, it wasn't just them, even the hearts of Gu Zeyan, Liu Silong, Wu Dao, and the other Half-step Monarch Realm experts jerked repeatedly while their blood pressure skyrocketed.
None of them knew that Yang Fan was actually hiding such a treasure in his possession.
It was a peak Emperor Rank Golden Soul Refinement Pill, and it was extremely beneficial even to Half-step Monarch Realm experts like them. So, how could they not be tempted?
That kid, Yang Fan, is really something. Why didn't he give us a heads-up before he made such a move?
It's quite a pity to give such a good thing to a few juniors just like that! Especially those two little bastards, Zhangsun Jiaci and Shangguan Zhizhen. It's such a waste!
Why don't we wait until the gathering comes to an end and everything is settled before we sneakily rob them?
For a time, thoughts arose in the hearts of these three heartless old men, and they were slightly unable to control themselves.
