Chapter 269 "Distant Cousin"
"Pretending to be confused..." After hearing Ye Fan's words, Wu Jingtian was slightly silent, "So, everyone knows it."
"In officialdom, we are well aware of it, but we are just pretending to save face." Ye Fan replied, waving his hands, but his brows showed some confusion.
"It's understandable that Mr. Zuzi doesn't want me to share the pie in the secret realm, but it would be too generous to use another secret realm in exchange..."
"Could it be that the secret realm given by Zuzi and the others has some water content?" Chen Peng said.
"I'm not an ignorant person. It's not that easy to add water to a Lei Ling-level secret realm." Ye Fan shook his head, and there was a slight thought in his eyes. He didn't know what he thought of, and took out the last Ji Letter from home.
"How can people like Zhou Zuzi do business at a loss, unless the value of this Lei Ling secret realm is not as good as the secret realm they want to explore."
After saying this, Ye Fan paused, his eyes that were reading the letter stopped, and his fingers rested firmly on a few words in it.
"Is there anything that can be more valuable than something in the Lei Ling Secret Realm?"
The voice fell. On the side, Chen Peng and Wu Jingtian were both thinking, but Wu Jingtian was a little more shrewd. He followed Ye Fan's eyes and saw where Ye Fan's finger rested.
Remaining corpses.
These two words seemed to be the finishing touch. Wu Jingtian seemed to react, with a look of horror on his face, "Could it be that there are really remains of the species in the secret realms controlled by those families..."
"There is a high probability." Ye Fan nodded.
"Then we must go." Wu Jingtian seemed a little anxious, "Even if we can't get the remains of the species, we can get some corpses related to the species, or get some beasts that are enhanced by the blood of the species. It’s all earned with blood!”
"I'm sure I have to go, but it's definitely not that easy." Ye Fan replied, glancing at Wu Jingtian, which seemed to mean something profound, "Since the things in the secret realm can be so big that I have to pay the price for not letting me If we go in, will those families feel relieved?"
"What the Lord Tiangong means is...will people from those families come to stop the Lord Tiangong?" Wu Jingtian replied.
"Nine times out of ten." Ye Fan nodded, with a smile in his eyes, "If the remains of the species really leak out, even if they want to fight again, they won't dare to let me go."
After hearing this, Wu Jingtian was still confused. Listening to Ye Fan's analysis was clear and logical, but he could not hear Ye Fan's thoughts. After hesitating for a while, he asked: "Then what should we do?"
"What..." Wu Jingtian's question made Ye Fan silent. He glanced at Wu Jingtian for a few times, and finally shook his head.
This is also the reason why he values the calculation of the emperor so much. When dealing with smart people, you don't have to talk too much, both parties understand each other's thoughts, and it feels pretty good.
Although a martial arts idiot like Wu Jingtian has seen many human accidents, most of the time, he can't keep up with Ye Fan's thinking. Every day he does what he does and how he does it.
"You should know after a while." After a while of silence, Ye Fan didn't explain much, just waved his hand.
Wu Jingtian was puzzled. Perhaps he knew that Mark was a little unhappy, so he did not continue to ask.
Boom, boom.
At this moment, the door of Wutang was knocked again.
"Who?" Wu Jingtian asked as usual, and a middle-aged voice also sounded outside the door, "Ji Wuning, the head of the Ji family, and Sun Yuming, the head of the Sun family, have important matters to discuss with the Minister of Arms, Tiangong, and have come to bother us."
"This..." Upon hearing this voice, Wu Jingtian was startled and subconsciously looked at Mark.
A smile appeared on Ye Fan's face at this moment, and he waved his hand lightly, "Let them in."
"Okay." Wu Jingtian responded and spoke quickly, and Ji Wuning and Sun Yuming came in at this time.
"I have heard about the name of God for a long time, but when I saw him today, he really looked like a handsome young man!"
As soon as they entered the door, the compliments from the two people naturally sounded. Ye Fan waved his hand and responded politely, and then nodded to the attendant beside him. The attendant was also smart and quickly brought the tea.
"I have heard about the two heads of the family for a long time. The incident at Fengyue Tower caused more trouble to the two heads of the house." After taking a sip of tea, Ye Fan spoke first.
After saying this, Ji Wuning looked a little reluctant, but Sun Yuming smiled sincerely and eagerly, "Even at such a young age, God has the heroic spirit to slay a beauty in anger. We were all convinced by God and volunteered to do it, so it's not a big trouble." ”
"That's a polite thing to say." Ye Fan replied, waving his hands with a smile on his face, "I'm here today. I wonder if the two family heads have something important to discuss."
"This... is not a big deal." Sun Yuming replied with a natural expression, "Didn't we make a pact with Tian to explore the secret realm together, but now that the secret realm has changed, we may not be able to practice it."
"Oh?" Hearing this, Ye Fan raised his eyebrows, "There has been a change, what does it mean?"
"Didn't our people discover some royal beasts with relic blood in the secret realm?" Sun Yuming spoke, lowering his voice, "God is a knowledgeable person and should know the weight of this matter."
"Of course I know that." Ye Fan nodded and followed Sun Yuming's words, but his tone suddenly turned cold, "So, do you come here to break the contract?"
This sudden coldness made Sun Yuming's expression change slightly, but soon he continued, "Breaking the contract cannot be called a breach of contract, but there are some difficulties and it may be really inconvenient."
"After all, the secret realm was jointly developed by the governor and our families. We invited God to get more benefits. Now that something has happened in the secret realm, the governor will definitely not agree."
"Yeah." Ye Fan just nodded and did not respond.
The atmosphere in the venue was slightly stiff. After a pause for a few seconds, Ji Wuning, who had been silent, spoke up, "God, this happened suddenly, and we don't want to break the agreement."
"But after all, I made a mistake first, so let's do this. We have discussed that we will give Tiangong's military department a fake Lei Ling level secret realm, which is near Lily City, not far from Nange."
"Pseudo Lei Ling level secret realm?" Hearing this, Ye Fan narrowed his eyes.
"Yes." Ji Wuning replied, as if he was afraid that Ye Fan would not like it, and said: "But God, don't worry, although the name is fake, this secret realm can be called true, whether it is the treasures or the types of beasts. It’s just that the area is smaller and nothing has been developed yet.”
"Tiangong is cultivating power. A pseudo-Leiling Secret Realm is naturally what you need. We are in the wrong first. This secret realm should be regarded as a small token of compensation to God."
"That's true. After all, you invited me, and now you kicked me out. I won't go without giving you some compensation or something." Ye Fan nodded, and then waved his hand, "Okay, I'm not stingy. People can accept it.”
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Ji Wuning's face, and he quickly handed over his hand, "God is boundless. If God is dissatisfied and has any additional conditions, you can tell me."
Behind him, after listening to the whole process, Wu Jingtian seemed less calm. He was thinking why Ye Fan would agree to compensation from these families after confirming the existence of the relics, but Ye Fan's voice rang out.
"But when it comes to additional mediation, you really have to promise me one."
When these words came out, Ji Wuning and Sun Yuming, who originally thought the matter was settled, were slightly stunned, and their expressions changed a little.
Good guy, just after saying that, you actually mentioned it.
"God, please speak." Holding back a hint of displeasure, Ji Wuning still cupped his hands and added slightly: "If we can do it, we will definitely satisfy God."
"This matter is not that difficult." Ye Fan shook his head, "I have a son of a distant relative who came to seek refuge with me. It just so happens that there is a secret realm. I wonder if he can go and experience it?"
"The son of a distant relative?" After hearing this, Ji Wuning looked a little strange and looked at each other with Sun Yuming.
The two seemed to have some acquaintance. Finally, Sun Yuming stood up and said, "If it's just one person, I think there is no problem."
"That's okay." Hearing this, Ye Fan nodded.
But Sun Yuming hesitated, "I wonder if this distant cousin of God has a name?"
"My cousin is a high school student with good strength and is a top-notch beast master of his age." Ye Fan replied and glanced at Sun Yuming. At this moment, there was a smile in his eyes.
"Maybe you have heard of his name, Mr. Sun."
"Oh? This is strange." Sun Yuming said, "Who is it?"
"Ye Fan, the rumored grandson of the King of War."
