The blue-clad woman didn't know how she walked out of the Divine Arms Pavilion; at the mont, she only felt that everything around her was exceedingly bizarre.
Who exactly is Old Xie? Not only does he have the status of a Fourth Rank Divine Weapon Forger, but he's also a veteran Zhiwei Realm powerhouse. Compared to him, Xu Fan is no more than an ant under an elephant's foot.
Would a giant elephant be interested in the ants underfoot? Does Old Xie admire Xu Fan that much?
Even if Old Xie admires Xu Fan imnsely, would he be willing to easily give away a Fourth Rank Divine Weapon and over seventy Third Rank Divine Weapons just like that?
After all, the blue-clad woman was exceptionally intelligent and ticulous. Once she cald down and thought briefly, she understood the mystery within.
"Old Xie must be backing Xu Fan, and Xu Fan deliberately put on a good show in front of to win my favor—does he want to pursue ?"
"Ridiculous!"
Clearly, the blue-clad woman took Xu Fan's previous behavior as a performance to catch her eye, and any interest she had in Xu Fan quickly vanished once again.
"These n are laughable, going to great lengths and using all sorts of tricks before , but fail to see that they only possess the strength of ants!"
"Can't even defeat —what use is such a man?"
To the blue-clad woman, Xu Fan was rely an ant, and having figured out the key points, she quickly dismissed Xu Fan from her mind and began practicing a dagger combat skill.
She purchased a Fourth Rank Divine Weapon at the Divine Arms Pavilion precisely to train this combat skill. Yet, her usually fluid skill was now frequently error-ridden.
"What... is happening to ?"
The blue-clad woman stopped, sat cross-legged, and suddenly, Xu Fan's image flashed in her mind.
…
Xu Fan, of course, was unaware of what was on the blue-clad woman's mind. He rely saw her leaving sowhat absent-mindedly. With a slight glance, he shifted his gaze from her.
Xu Fan was a very straightforward person. If he disliked soone, he disliked them; although not to any extre degree, he simply didn't like the blue-clad woman, so he wouldn't spare her another look.
Similarly, Old Xie was a straightforward person. No forger would ever willingly give out Divine Weapons for free, especially not a pile of them.
Yet at this mont, Old Xie had no choice but to swallow his pride, forcing a slight smile as he laid out various Divine Weapon tools, letting Xu Fan choose freely.
Old Xie was already aware of the pursuit of Xu Fan by the Li, Long, and Feng families and had known that Mu Lao and the others had long prepared for it. To them, it was a trivial matter, a non-issue.
What was infinitely more important than that matter was seeing Xu Fan's cards clearly! Xu Fan's behavior in West City had already aroused caution from Mu Lao and the others.
Thus, Mu Lao and the others did not completely alleviate Xu Fan's troubles with the Li, Long, and Feng families. They cleverly resolved part of it, intending to probe Xu Fan by leaving so of it unsettled.
The show had just begun.
Besides, no matter how many Divine Weapons Xu Fan took, in a month, Xu Fan would be dead, and all the Divine Weapons would just be returned, right?
Old Xie was forcibly reassuring himself while twitching his mouth, nervously watching Xu Fan toss one Divine Weapon after another into a large burlap sack.
"Old Xie, we greatly admire each other. To say that we admire each other is not an exaggeration, so I won't express thanks again."
"But rest assured, Old Xie, if I ever need your help, I won't be shy about asking for it!"
"Farewell!"
Xu Fan swaggered out of the Divine Arms Pavilion, dragging a large sack filled with clinking Divine Weapons, with a pair of ferocious fanged gloves on his hands. His face bore none of the earlier worries and gloominess.
In stark contrast to Xu Fan, Old Xie's expression was entirely opposite to what it had been before seeing Xu Fan. His weathered face was filled with the look of utter defeat.
You want a Fourth Rank Divine Weapon, you take it. You also take a bunch of Third Rank Divine Weapons, and even use a bag to carry them—it's a bit much, isn't it?
Even more outrageous is that you just take everything, and today, I've already given up. You could take away the entire Divine Arms Pavilion, and I wouldn't say a word. But why must you say those two sentences before you leave?
Greatly admire each other? You're an Entering Dao Realm Peak junior, and you dare say you admire , a veteran Zhiwei Realm powerhouse? Admire each other?
Old Xie glanced around, looking at the greatly diminished inventory in the Divine Arms Pavilion, feeling like weeping but having no tears.
…
At this mont, Xu Fan was heading high-profile towards the Grey Wolf Team with a large sack of Divine Weapons in tow.
It wasn't that Xu Fan wanted to be high-profile, but carrying a large sack of clinking Divine Weapons made it impossible to keep a low profile, even if he wanted to.
Previously, Xu Fan said those things to provoke Old Xie not because he was impulsive or trying to startle the snake, but to test Old Xie's attitude through those words.
After all, being in West City, Xu Fan had no choice but to reveal his sches, which had already drawn Mu Lao and the others' wariness. Hence, he used the Divine Weapon issue to test whether Mu Lao wanted to act against him in advance.
As it stands, Mu Lao and the others clearly possess both patience and confidence.
As veteran Zhiwei Realm powerhouses, Mu Lao and the others' formidable strength endowed them with equally formidable confidence. No matter how scheming Xu Fan might be, in front of four veteran Zhiwei Realm powerhouses, he couldn't make even the smallest splash.
And that's precisely the situation Xu Fan desired.
That was Xu Fan's greatest gain from this trip, overshadowing even the acquisition of a Fourth Rank Divine Weapon.
The Fourth Rank Divine Weapon was the gloves Xu Fan wore. He didn't know what material they were made of; they felt cold to the touch and had a vicious shape, with sharp spikes resembling fangs, nacingly directed at the enemy.
From the first glance, Xu Fan was enamored with these gloves. After hearing Old Xie's explanation that these gloves doubled the effect of Spiritual Power, Xu Fan beca even more attached.
Although Xu Fan knew that with Mu Lao and the others around, the Li, Long, and Feng families couldn't use forceful ans to send Zhiwei Realm powerhouses to the base against Xu Fan, they could still use minor tricks.
Therefore, Xu Fan needed to stay vigilant and enhance his strength as much as possible, and these gloves instantly boosted Xu Fan's combat power by at least thirty percent!
