Yun Fan stopped in mid-air and looked down at the residence of the servants. He was filled with emotions. When he woke up in the morning, he was still a lowly servant. In just half a day, he had become an inner disciple who was admired and respected by others.
Yun Fan directly descended from mid-air. A group of odd-job workers hurriedly went forward to inquire about his well-being and try to curry favor with him. Some of the odd-job workers who had a good relationship with Yun Fan before were wantonly flattering Yun Fan. It was as if they already knew that Yun Fan was not a fish in a pond and would transform into a dragon upon encountering a storm.
As for the servants who had bullied Yun Fan with Zhou Tao, they were so scared that their faces turned pale. They quickly ran back into the house and did not dare to show their faces.
Yun Fan laughed in response to the crowd's flattery. He did not make things difficult for those who had laughed at him before. His gaze swept through the crowd, but he did not see Yan Hu's figure.
Yun Fan thought it was strange. With Yan Hu's character, he would have rushed over as soon as he heard the news of Yun Fan's return. But now, he was nowhere to be seen. Yun Fan could not help but frown.
He strode back to his original residence, but found that the door was ajar. When he pushed it open, there was no one in the house.
"Do any of you know where Yan Hu went?"
Yun Fan turned his head and asked the many servants who had followed him all the way and were trying to flatter him.
Hearing Yun Fan's question, a skinny young servant rushed to answer, "Senior Yun Fan, I just saw Yan Hu and Zhou Tao walking towards the inner sect of Nongyan Peak."
Yun Fan's face darkened. Zhou Tao was full of evil ideas. Why did he take Yan Hu away?
"How long have they been gone?" Yun Fan asked anxiously.
"Senior, about … an hour or so," the skinny servant replied respectfully.
The skinny servant hurriedly replied respectfully. In his eyes, Yun Fan was already a high and mighty existence. He did not dare to slight him in the slightest.
"Zhou Tao is definitely up to no good. Fatty might be in danger!"
As this thought flashed across his mind, Yun Fan looked towards the direction of the inner sect of Nongyan Peak and narrowed his eyes. If anything happened to Yan Hu, he would make Zhou Tao pay a hundred times over!
Whoosh!
Yun Fan channeled his strength under his feet, and the red silk glowed brightly. It carried Yun Fan up into the air and flew towards the inner gate of Nongyan Peak. His speed was much faster than when he had arrived, and many people were shocked.
"I think Zhou Tao is going to be miserable …"
"That's right. Who asked him to always want to mess with Yun Fan in the past? It's time for payback."
"Not necessarily. Zhou Tao is Nie An's personal servant. That Nie An had already advanced to the inner court two years ago. Even Yun Fan wouldn't dare to rashly offend him."
"Haha, who knows? Let's hurry over and take a look. Maybe a good show will happen …"
…
Within the inner sect of Nongyan Peak, there was a luxurious cave that was much bigger than an ordinary inner sect cave.
At this moment, Yan Hu's hands and feet were tied up in the cave. He was lying in a corner, trembling, and moaning non-stop. His servant uniform was filled with tears, and within the tears, there were traces of blood clots.
"Hehe, damn fatty. Are you going to tell me or not?"
Beside Yan Hu, Zhou Tao sneered arrogantly. He held a black leather whip in his hand. As he waved his hand, a clear cracking sound could be heard.
On an extremely luxurious ruby chair in this cave, a young man with a mole at the corner of his eye sat. This young man was wearing the inner sect disciple uniform. There was a silver lace at the edge of his sleeves, making him look extremely luxurious.
At this moment, this young man was holding a file and calmly rubbing his fingernails. He turned a deaf ear to what was happening beside him, as if he did not care at all.
"I, I … I don't know!"
Yan Hu panted heavily. The wounds on his body were burning with pain. It was so painful that his face was covered in sweat and his body was trembling.
He hated himself for listening to Zhou Tao's coaxing and following him here. In the end, he was forced to ask about the details of Yun Fan's strength. However, Yan Hu gritted his teeth and refused to say anything. Zhou Tao was furious. With the tacit consent of the young man, he used torture to interrogate Yan Hu.
"Damn fatty, you're still so stubborn! Do you still expect that trash Yun Fan to come and save you? "
Zhou Tao raised his leg and kicked Yan Hu's lower abdomen. The latter cried out in pain and swore as he threatened, "Let me tell you, this is my master, Nie An's territory. Without his permission, even if that good-for-nothing Yun Fan comes, he won't be able to take you away! Today, if you don't tell me the reason why Yun Fan became so strong, I will beat you to death! "
Zhou Tao was flustered and exasperated. According to their bet, he now had to give Yun Fan 20,000 Spirit Stones. Moreover, he had to perform a handstand … He could not do either of these. He could only ask his master, Nie An, for help.
Zhou Tao never expected that Yun Fan would be able to open up the source of Spirit Qi in the end. Moreover, he had opened up the Four Symbols Spirit Ocean, which was rarely seen in a thousand years. He had defeated Nangong Lingfeng and the other geniuses to obtain first place in the Inner Sect Ceremony.
Previously, he was also puzzled as to why Yun Fan dared to make such a bold bet with him. Now, it seemed that Yun Fan had been hiding his strength all this time until he showed his extraordinary talent in the Inner Sect Ceremony.
And behind this kind of story of a salted fish turning over a new leaf, there were often some unknown secrets hidden. Perhaps Yun Fan had coincidentally obtained an ancient martial technique, or perhaps he had found a treasure trove of elixirs, or perhaps he had obtained the inheritance of some almighty senior …
Finding out the real reason why Yun Fan became so strong was an order from his master, Nie An. He had to do it. Otherwise, he would not be able to obtain Nie An's protection.
As for Yan Hu, who was the closest to Yun Fan, he became the biggest breakthrough to find out this secret. That was why Zhou Tao worked so hard to trick Yan Hu into coming here and did not hesitate to use torture to extort a confession.
"Brother Tao … Master Tao, please don't hit me. I will ask Yun Fan not to care about you and ask for the 20,000 Spirit Stones. Is that not enough?"
Yan Hu was in so much pain that his fat face was distorted. He lay on the ground and begged for mercy.
"F * ck you, damn fatty. My master, Nie An, is an existence in the top ten of the Inner Sect's Combat Strength Rankings. Who does Yun Fan think he is? How dare he ask for the 20,000 Spirit Stones from me?"
Zhou Tao smiled flatteringly at the young man who had a gloomy expression. Then, he lashed out with his whip again and said fiercely, "A piece of trash who relied on fortuitous encounters to advance is simply not in my master's eyes. Tell me honestly, what fortuitous encounter did Yun Fan obtain?"
Hearing these words, Nie An, who had been rubbing his nails, pulled out a cold smile from the corner of his mouth. This was what he cared about the most.
What kind of fortuitous encounter did a little choresman obtain that could allow his strength to increase so much?
As long as he forced this secret out of Yan Hu and thought of a way to get the treasure in Yun Fan's hands, then he, Nie An, would be able to compete with the top five contestants in this year's Inner Sect Season!
When he thought of this possibility, Nie An could not help but be excited. Who did that Yun Fan think he was? He was just an ordinary disciple who had just stepped into the Inner Sect. Even if he had opened up the Four Symbols Spirit Seas, it was still impossible for him to compete with him, a veteran Inner Sect powerhouse who had advanced two years ago.
At this moment, the cave abode's protective shield was bombarded by a powerful force, causing the entire cave abode to tremble.
This sudden attack caused Nie An's smile to stiffen. Zhou Tao's heart trembled.
Immediately after, an icy cold voice sounded from outside the cave.
"Is there anyone here? Yun Fan requests an audience! "
