There were five men sitting around a table near the window.
The five people simply ordered some food and drinks, but no one moved their chopsticks. They were whispering, not knowing what to say.
A layer of soundproof barrier has been installed around them, but this kind of childish method is of no use to Xiao Fan.
"Uh... Senior, although this pub is good, it is not the best in Wanjia Town. If senior wants to drink, how about I take you to Chunxiao Tower not far ahead? That is the best restaurant in Wanjia Town.
!" Ji Nan followed in puzzledly and frowned slightly.
"It doesn't matter, I just want to have something to drink casually, it doesn't matter where I am!" Xiao Fan waved his hand and sat at a table next to the door, muttering in his heart: Chunxiao Tower? Why does this name sound like nothing?
Serious place? It seems that there once was a guy named Shan Ying who liked to linger in that kind of ghost place...
"Uh... okay!" Ji Nan shrugged his shoulders and sat next to Xiao Fan obediently.
After randomly ordering some drinks, Xiao Fan held the wine glass and tasted it while observing the table of masters with his peripheral vision.
The five masters seemed to be headed by a young scholar in the middle with a delicate face, beautiful features, and a delicate figure. The other four were all burly, with square faces and sharp eyebrows, and were full of masculinity.
In comparison, the weak scholar Xiao Fan feels full of femininity, more like a woman disguised as a man.
"Lu Zheng, have everything been arranged?" the weak scholar asked.
"Don't worry, sir, everything has been arranged!" A man with an ax mark between his eyebrows nodded.
"Well, that's good. Once it's done, I won't treat you badly!"
"Haha, what did the young master say? How can we not believe the young master?"
"There must be no mistakes in this matter. If the information I got is correct, the person dispatched this time is Zeng Rui, the second son of the Jin family!"
"Zeng Rui? That genius who has emerged from the Jin family in the past ten thousand years?"
"Exactly, but no matter how talented he is, he is only an eighth-grade immortal. If you have a chance... kill him!" A murderous glint flashed in the eyes of the weak scholar.
"Hehe, this is indeed good. If he dies, I'm afraid Zeng Cuo will be furious, right?"
"Okay, it's useless to talk any more. Let's disperse. Let's all be fully prepared. This time we can only succeed, not fail!" the weak scholar slowly stood up and said.
"Hehe, for the sake of the one hundred thousand immortal stone crystals that the young master brought out, I will go all out for this deal even if I risk my life!" A man with a mark of two swords between his eyebrows laughed ferociously.
"Also, the sect leader of Huo Yunzong did not come today. I wonder why?" The weak scholar frowned and asked.
"Ah, Huo Yunzong, don't worry, their sect leader said he will definitely arrive! Their new sect leader is extremely powerful and will definitely be a great help to the young master!" The man with the hammer-shaped mark between his eyebrows said with a smile.
"Well, I'll be relieved then!" The weak young man nodded, raised his hand, and removed the soundproof barrier. The other four people stood up and left with fists in their hands.
"What nonsense?" Xiao Fan only listened to the middle part and didn't understand what this group of people were saying at all, but he could probably guess that they were planning to do some big deal.
Moreover...the Jin family and Zeng Cuo were mentioned in their conversation.
It is said that Zeng Cuo was just the son-in-law of the Jin family. His wife died not long after he married into the Jin family, and Zeng Cuo used his own tricks to become the head of the Jin family. In fact, the entire Jin family had changed their surname to Zeng.
Xiao Fan was very concerned about the conversations between these people.
Unexpectedly, the weak scholar sat down alone, and after slowly drinking two glasses of wine, he suddenly turned his face to Xiao Fan and smiled slightly: "My dear friend, can you come over and have a seat?"
"Uh...me?" Xiao Fan was slightly startled.
The weak scholar nodded.
"Okay!" Xiao Fan stood up with the wine bottle in hand.
"Senior..." Ji Nan also stood up to follow.
"You drink here first!" Xiao Fan gently patted Ji Nan's shoulder, smiled slightly, and walked to sit in front of the weak scholar.
"Fellow Immortal, it's not polite to eavesdrop on other people's conversations!" The weak scholar took an empty wine glass, filled it with wine, and pushed it towards Xiao Fan.
"Haha, you deliberately wanted people to eavesdrop!" Xiao Fan did not refuse, raised his hand and picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.
Indeed, relying on the cultivation of the weak scholar in front of him, he would never have installed such a low-level soundproof barrier. It was obviously something he did deliberately.
The weak scholar smiled slightly and did not continue to talk about this issue. He also drank a glass of wine and said: "I am Shangguan Haoyue, what do you call my immortal friend?"
"Xiao Fei!" Xiao Fan once again brought out the pseudonym he used when he was in the Six Realms.
"It turns out to be friend Xiao Xian, so disrespectful!" Shangguan Haoyue said, suddenly spilling a glass of wine aside, the wine evaporated and turned into a mist, which immediately wrapped him and Xiao Fan, and disappeared in the tavern in an instant.
"Uh... where is the person... the person? Why is it gone?" Ji Nan was startled, and quickly stood up and looked around, but there was no sign of anyone anywhere.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I haven't gotten any benefits from that senior!" Ji Nan sighed in frustration, and then sat down again to drink.
The luster circulated, and the figures of Xiao Fan and Shangguan Haoyue appeared in a small mountain pavilion ten miles away from Wanjia Town.
There was still a table, with fairy wine placed on the table, and Xiao Fan and Xiao Fan still sat looking at each other.
"Shangguan Xianyou's hand-transformation is really a good method!" Xiao Fan praised with a smile, but actually he was secretly surprised in his heart. This method can take him away from Wanjia in an instant without anyone noticing.
Town, coming to this place ten miles away is really amazing!
"You're showing off your embarrassment!" Shangguan Haoyue shook her head and said, "Fellow Immortal Xiao Fei... No, you should be called Immortal Friend Xiao Fan, right?"
"Huh? How do you know?" Xiao Fan was shocked again.
"Because I have a friend who has met you before and remembered your aura, so I shouldn't miss you!" Shangguan Haoyue's smile was full of mystery.
"Friends?" Xiao Fan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "I understand, the friend you are talking about should be Zhuge Lei from Jiuyan Palace, right?"
"You must have recognized me when you saw me at the door of the tavern before. You also expected that I would walk into the tavern out of curiosity and eavesdrop on your conversation, so you deliberately made the soundproof barrier very weak!"
"Haha, Xiao Xianyou is indeed as Zhuge Lei said, he is a very remarkable person!" Shangguan Haoyue clapped her hands gently and said with a smile.
"Come on, stop praising me. If you have any business with me, you might as well tell me directly. I, Xiao Fan, don't like beating around the bush!"
"No, no, I just didn't expect that you, Immortal Xiao, would really dare to go to Jiuyu Immortal Palace alone!"
"What if I don't go alone? The letter from Jiuyi Immortal Palace has been delivered to me by your friend. If I don't come and make Jiuyi Immortal Palace dissatisfied, won't the Haoran Sect be implicated?"
"Well, what Immortal Xiao said is reasonable!" Shangguan Haoyue nodded and said: "But... you don't know, Immortal Xiao, right? The Jiuyan Palace has never written a letter to you, and no one plans to invite you to go!"
"What?" Xiao Fan's heart moved: "So...someone is plotting against me?"
"This... I guess I don't need to say it clearly!"
"Is it Zeng Cuo?" Xiao Fan suddenly laughed: "I killed one of his dogs. He knew it was difficult to deal with me, so he used the name of Jiuyan Palace to trick me into going there, and then he secretly killed me. Yes What?"
"You are wrong, not one, but two! Two of the most important dogs in Zengcuo!" Shangguan Haoyue held out two fingers.
"Two? Could it be that... that Shen Xiong is also Zeng Cuo's dog?" Xiao Fan raised his eyebrows.
"No one wants to blatantly offend the Nine Yang Immortal Lord. To be honest, except for Donghao Immortal Palace, no one dares!" Shangguan Haoyue nodded and said leisurely: "However, Zeng Cuo is an extremely greedy person. , he doesn’t care about the reward offered by Donghao Immortal Palace, but wants to establish a good relationship with him and prepare an extra escape route for himself!”
"I will trick you into Jiuyu Immortal Palace, then quietly capture you on the way, and then send you to Donghao Immortal Palace. In this way, the world will only know that you came to Jiuyi Immortal Palace, and even if you are missing, At that time, Immortal Lord Nine Suns will also ask for people from Jiuyan Immortal Palace, and Zeng Cuo will not be traced at all!"
"At that time, if the Nine Yang Immortal Lord goes to war with the Jiuyan Immortal Palace, both sides will definitely suffer losses. Then the Donghao Immortal Palace will naturally have the opportunity to eliminate its old rival in one fell swoop and become stronger than the Luohua Prefecture. !”
"No way? It's so complicated? How do you know so much? Zhuge Lei told you? Then he knew it clearly, but why did he go all the way to deliver the letter to me personally, and then asked you to tell me the truth? "Xiao Fan's head is full of questions.
"It doesn't matter what my identity is, at least I am someone who wants to make friends with you and help you!" Shangguan Haoyue said with a smile: "What's more, I absolutely can't watch Zeng Cuo's trick succeed, which will bring about A huge disaster!"
"As for Zhuge Lei, there is nothing we can do... He is under the command of the Jin family, and he cannot control many things!"
"I understand!" Xiao Fan nodded and said: "I guess you also have a grudge against Zeng Cuo, but I don't understand. Zeng Cuo is not the elder of Jiuyi Immortal Palace. Why is he taking so much trouble when he holds great power? Do you want to destroy everything about yourself?"
"It's very simple. Apart from the sect master, there are two eldest people in Donghao Immortal Palace, Elder Dongqing and Elder Zeng Hao. I don't need to explain the others, right?"
"Zeng Hao...Zeng Cuo...that's it!" Xiao Fan suddenly realized that Zeng Cuo was originally from Zhongxing Prefecture!
"I've already said what I need to say. I'm going to meet a few important people now. They are all like-minded and resist Zeng Hao. Are you interested in going with me?"
