A burst of gunshots faded, and only after He Shaofeng and his companion had fired all the bullets from their chambers did they leisurely put down their guns and looked over at Xiao Lan and Xu Fan standing by the door.
"Lingyan Pavilion truly possesses divine skills. Miss Xiao, I didn't expect you to bring the person so quickly."
Having just t Xu Fan last night, He Shaofeng now saw him again and couldn't help but lift a cold smile at the corners of his mouth.
Although he didn't quite understand what kind of divine skills Xiao Lan used to bring the person to him without even knowing his na, He Shaofeng felt that it didn't matter.
The most important thing was that those who crossed him would inevitably et a bad end.
Smiling amiably as he set down the gun, He Shaofeng looked at Xu Fan with a playful face and humd, "Kid, in just a single day, I believe you haven't forgotten what I said yesterday, have you?"
"Mmm, I haven't forgotten."
Xu Fan nodded in acknowledgent before Lan could reveal his identity and replied, "You said you were going to make unable to get by in Jinling."
"Hahaha, you do have a good mory, don't you?"
Seeing Xu Fan's honest face, He Shaofeng couldn't resist bursting into laughter.
This guy, facing his doom, probably still has no idea who he has provoked, right?
Crushing a grasshopper underfoot wouldn't give him any pleasure.
On the contrary, letting his opponent know how terrifying the person he has provoked is, and watching his face turn various shades of green and purple - that was the ultimate enjoynt for He Shaofeng.
"Kid, I believe with your status, you probably haven't even heard of the Crown Prince Party."
"Do you know who brought you here today?"
He Shaofeng looked at Xu Fan and questioned him.
Xu Fan was patient too, and with a smile, he played along and asked.
"Why don't you enlighten ?"
"Hmph, before you die, it wouldn't hurt to gain a bit of insight."
He Shaofeng snorted and generously explained, "This woman beside you is called Xiao Lan, the owner of Lingyan Pavilion, the most powerful force on Jinling soil."
"Speaking of Lingyan Pavilion, I'm afraid with your status, you would never reach such heights in your lifeti. Let tell you this, whether in the underworld or otherwise, Lingyan Pavilion is rising and stands above all the major families of Jinling! The Xiao Tianfang of the past was even a celebrated hero abroad!"
"Kid, think about it, what would be the end of an ant who provokes such a power?"
As He Shaofeng spoke to this point, his smile grew even more triumphantly.
Those who dared to vie for his woman deserved such an outco.
Of course, this bit of intimidation was just the beginning. Next, he would let Xu Fan experience what it truly ant to live a life worse than death.
"Um..."
"He Shaofeng, there might be one thing I need to correct."
At this mont, Xiao Lan's mouth awkwardly twisted as she attempted to explain.
He Shaofeng waved his hand without hesitation and smiled, "Miss Xiao Lan, you don't need to correct anything. The status of your Lingyan Pavilion in Jinling, what I've said has not been flattery at all."
"It's not that..."
Xiao Lan shook her head. Indeed, what He Shaofeng said was not wrong; it's just that what she wanted to correct was not about those things.
"Your information might be a bit outdated. The current owner of Lingyan Pavilion is not , but him, Xu Fan."
"What?"
As Xiao Lan pointed her hand at Xu Fan, the pleased expression on He Shaofeng's face instantly froze, and his eyes nearly fell to the ground.
So all that he had just said wasn't to intimidate the other person, but to suck up to him?
"This..."
At that mont, He Shaofeng's face turned exceptionally unsightly.
"Xiao He, thank you for your affirmation of my Lingyan Pavilion."
Now that his identity had been pointed out by Sister Lan, Xu Fan no longer hid it. He smiled and said, "You have just praised us so much, so I can't let you do it for nothing."
"So, let praise you as well, hmm... You have a good eye, and you're eloquent."
"You!"
He Shaofeng's face turned red as he glared at Xu Fan, feeling like a monkey being toyed with by him!
"Shaofeng, stop talking."
At this ti, the man who had been silent until now finally spoke up.
He calmly pulled He Shaofeng back and then looked towards Xiao Lan.
"Miss Xiao Lan, such a major event as a change of leadership in Lingyan Pavilion, why are we only inford of it now?"
The man seed to be of considerable status, and Xiao Lan smiled before she explained, "Jianjun, it's not that Lingyan Pavilion has been hiding it, it's just that Xu Fan hasn't been the Pavilion Master for long, and there have been many trivial matters recently, so we haven't had the chance to notify you."
"Is that so?"
Zhou Jianjun was well-aware of how vast Lingyan Pavilion's influence was in Jinling. He took a look at Xu Fan, his eyes flashing briefly with confusion.
He didn't quite understand why Xiao Lan, this woman, would hand over such a lucrative position to such a young man.
"Hello, Zhou Jianjun, a minor figure from the Crown Prince Party."
Zhou Jianjun was sowhat interested in this person who now comfortably held the first seat of Lingyan Pavilion, and with a smile, he gave a nod to Xu Fan.
"Your Excellency is young, yet valued by Miss Xiao Lan. You must be remarkably talented. In the future, I hope you will look after us more."
"I can't live up to being called remarkably talented."
Compared to He Shaofeng, Zhou Jianjun was much more composed. Even though he verbally claid to be just a minor figure, Xu Fan could vaguely feel that this guy probably held no low rank within the Crown Prince Party.
Now that his own identity was known, even if He Shaofeng had ten tis the courage, he probably wouldn't dare to co after him again.
Vaguely looking at He Shaofeng with his frustrated expression, Xu Fan smiled and said, "Master Zhou, if there's nothing else, we'll take our leave now, so as not to delay you any further."
"Hold on a mont."
Before Xu Fan and Xiao Lan could leave, Zhou Jianjun, smiling, called out to the two.
He weighed the gun in his hand lightly and then said with a smile, "Since you're here, why not play a ga before you go?"
"Since Your Excellency has the strength to secure the first seat of Lingyan Pavilion securely, I believe your spearmanship must also be extraordinary."
"Why not, let us open our eyes too?"
"This..."
Before coming in, Sister Lan had said that the Crown Prince Party and Lingyan Pavilion seed to have decent diplomatic relations. Now that they were kindly invited, it seed quite disrespectful to refuse.
Xu Fan looked towards Xiao Lan, wanting to see what she thought.
"Xu Fan, have you ever handled a gun before?"
If Xu Fan had never touched a gun before, Xiao Lan thought it would be better to politely decline.
After all, what he represented now was Lingyan Pavilion.
In front of outsiders, if he were to show a poor display of spearmanship, it would only provoke laughter.
"About that?"
