On the high platform, Sun Zisu immediately took the jade pendant, a look of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and his red lips slightly opened and said:
"Mr. Ye, I didn't carry that Heavenly Spirit Fruit with me, but hid it in the family medicine storehouse. How about I go back to the family to get it immediately?"
"It doesn't matter! You can take this jade pendant back home first, and then contact me when the Tianling Fruit matures!" Ye Fan said calmly.
"Then... let me write you a receipt!" Sun Zisu said.
"No, I believe you!" Ye Fan smiled slightly.
Hearing this, a strange color flashed in Sun Zisu's beautiful eyes. Apparently, she did not expect that Ye Fan would hand over a treasure worth tens of billions to him so easily.
But she didn't know that Ye Fan was not afraid of the Sun family defaulting on their debts.
It would be best if the Sun family handed over the Heavenly Spirit Fruit as promised!
But if they had any evil thoughts, Ye Fan would not be merciful and would simply kill the Sun family, rob them of their thousands of years of accumulated medicine, and make them pay the price for their betrayal.
After the jade pendant was sold, the auction came to an end.
Although the others were a little reluctant, they couldn't offer any treasures of heaven and earth in exchange, so they could only watch Sun Zisu walk out of the venue with the jade pendant.
Not long after, a tall, thin, middle-aged man walked quickly to her side, bowed and saluted:
"Congratulations, Miss, for getting this supreme magic weapon. Now, the head of the family will definitely look at you with admiration. The status of our lineage will also rise, and we will no longer have to be suppressed by the second master!"
Hearing this, Sun Zisu raised her eyebrows and scolded: "You are so presumptuous! Don't talk nonsense!"
The tall, thin middle-aged man realized that he had made a mistake, so he quickly lowered his head and remained silent.
"Why……"
Suddenly, Sun Zisu sighed quietly, and there was a hint of sadness between her eyebrows.
Their Sun family has been inherited for thousands of years and has a prosperous population, but intrigues and factional struggles are inevitable within the family.
The direct lineage of the previous generation consisted of three brothers.
The eldest son, Sun Changqing, is the current head of the family, and this lineage is the most powerful in the family.
The second eldest son, Sun Changlin, is the law enforcement elder. He holds authority, acts tough and resolutely. If a disciple who breaks the family rules falls into his hands, he will at least shed a few layers of his skin.
Sun Zisu's grandfather, Sun Changyun, ranked third.
Among the three brothers, Sun Changyun has the most medical talent. He has created more than ten kinds of exquisite elixirs, which has brought huge benefits to the Sun family.
However, a few years ago, during an experiment, the alchemy furnace suddenly exploded, and Sun Changyun accidentally died in the accident.
After that, his lineage gradually declined and was suppressed by disciples from the other two lines.
However, Sun Zisu's father was weak by nature and did not like to compete with others. Instead of shouldering the heavy responsibility, he ordered his family to be more tolerant.
Little did they know that their tolerance only made the other disciples of the two branches intensify their efforts, and even found various reasons to withhold their monthly dividends.
As time went by, the lives of Sun Zisu and others became more and more embarrassing, and they had no status at all in the family.
But now, this mysterious and unparalleled jade pendant has brought her a turning point.
She believed that as long as she brought the jade pendant back to the family and presented it to the head of the family, she would definitely be praised.
…
Suddenly, the tall, thin middle-aged man seemed to have thought of something, and lowered his voice and said:
"But miss, that Tianling Fruit is the treasure of the clan. You exchanged it without the consent of the family leader. If the second master knew about this, he would definitely interfere with it! In my opinion, since the young man named Ye has already given the jade pendant
I gave it to you and haven’t left any receipt, so why don’t we—”
"shut up!"
Sun Zisu scolded, with a hint of sullenness in her tone:
"My ancestor of the Sun family is Sun Simiao, the king of medicine. He hung a pot to help the world, and his name will go down in history! How can I, a descendant of the Sun family, do something treacherous, break a promise and get rich? If the thousand-year reputation is ruined in my hands, I am afraid I will not be able to face my ancestors.
Lie Zong! Don’t mention this matter again!”
Seeing that she was speaking so seriously, the tall and thin man did not dare to say any more.
At the same time, Ye Fan and Liu Yiyi also walked out of the auction venue.
Suddenly, Butler Wu walked towards the two of them in three steps at a time, cupped his hands and said: "Master Ye, I have finally found you!"
Ye Fan heard this and said calmly: "Butler Wu, why are you looking for me? Do you want to seek revenge?"
As soon as these words came out, Butler Wu's face froze, a look of panic flashed in his eyes, but he immediately used a smile to resolve the embarrassment:
"Haha... Mr. Ye, you really know how to joke! In fact, I came to you because I have something important to tell you!"
"What's the matter?" Ye Fan asked.
Butler Wu looked around, lowered his voice and whispered:
"Master Ye, in fact, there is an auction in this Sihai Mountain. Only a few people can participate, but they are all the top big shots in the Jiangnan ancient martial arts world! The items in the auction are only one in a million and are extremely precious! With Ye
Young Master, your strength is fully qualified to enter it, I wonder if you are interested?"
As he said that, he looked at Ye Fan with great anticipation, wishing that Ye Fan would nod and agree immediately.
When Ye Fan saw this, his heart was filled with insight, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, outlining a joking smile, and said slowly:
"That's it... Then there's no harm in going and taking a look! You can lead the way!"
When Butler Wu heard this, his face blossomed into a smile, and he said extremely diligently: "Okay, okay! I'll take you there right now!"
As he said that, he immediately turned around, but instead of taking the main road, he walked towards the mountains and forests.
Seeing this scene, Liu Yiyi looked worried and said in Ye Fan's ear: "Xiao Fan, this guy is sneaky, there must be something fishy in it, let's not go!"
"You can hide for a while, but you can't hide for a lifetime! Don't worry Yiyi, as long as I'm here, you will never get hurt!" Ye Fan said with a smile.
"I'm not afraid of getting hurt, I'm worried about you!" Liu Yiyi said, handing the protective jade pendant to Ye Fan and said: "Xiaofan, please wear this!"
Ye Fan shook his head and said firmly: "Yiyi, didn't I say that I don't care about a mere Wu family! Even if the head of the Wu family comes to seek revenge, I can make sure that he never returns!"
At the end of the sentence, Ye Fan suddenly burst out with a domineering aura that looked down on the world and was arrogant to all heroes.
Upon seeing this, Liu Yiyi suddenly felt a sense of security in her heart, and she stopped talking and walked towards the forest with Ye Fan.
…
Time goes back to one hour ago.
The Wu family mansion on the outskirts of Lucheng, at the deepest part of the mansion, is a small courtyard with an elegant environment and winding paths. It is the place where the head of the Wu family, Wu Qingcang, goes into seclusion for cultivation.
When Wu Qingcang is practicing, no one can disturb him.
At this moment, in front of the other courtyard, the great elder, Wu Jianxing and many Wu family guards were all standing at attention.
Since returning to Wu's house last night, they have been waiting here, and they are best prepared at all times. As soon as Wu Qingcang comes out of seclusion, they will kill into Sihai Mountain, seize the Thunder Tribulation Sword, and at the same time avenge Ye Fan.
However, after waiting all night, Wu Qingcang never came out.
When everyone's patience was about to run out, an extremely terrifying aura suddenly rose in the other courtyard, like an angry dragon coming out of the sea.
"boom!"
A beam of light soared into the sky, tearing apart the clouds with an astonishing force.
"Peng!"
The next moment, the door to the courtyard opened on its own.
Immediately afterwards, a figure slowly walked out.
Looking from a distance, he saw an old man in his final years, with silver hair, a face full of wrinkles, a haggard appearance, and a stooped waist.
Wu Qingcang is only in his early fifties this year, and martial arts masters age much slower than ordinary people.
But the old man in front of him looked to be at least eighty years old.
For a moment, many members of the Wu family in the venue looked suspicious and extremely surprised.
At this moment, another astonishing change occurred in the old man.
"Crack!"
The muscles and bones thundered, making bursts of loud noises, like thousands of horses galloping and a torrent of steel bars.
Immediately afterwards, his momentum increased steadily, and his originally rickety spine straightened up. His withered body seemed to be injected with mysterious energy, and it instantly swelled. The muscles were chopped and carved according to the golden section, and contained explosive energy.
Sense of power.
What was even more shocking was that his originally pale hair roots and brow tips turned black in an instant, just like an old tree sprouting new buds.
The wrinkles on his face were slowly smoothed away, and his facial features also underwent subtle changes, turning into a middle-aged man in his thirties, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and a hawk-like gaze.
At first glance, he looks similar to Wu Jianxing, but he is a little more coercive and domineering. His movements reveal the courage to sweep all directions and conquer the world.
Rejuvenate and rejuvenate!
Seeing this incredible scene, everyone in the venue was stunned, as if they had been petrified, standing there blankly, without even the strength to move their fingers.
After more than half a minute, the great elder was the first to recover from the shock, with unconcealable joy in his eyes, and said excitedly:
"Master...have you finally mastered the Kung Rong Magic Skill?"
