At this mont, although the many attendants beside the young girl were all Nascent Soul Stage experts, they didn't dare to make a sound in front of the scar-faced man. They were all from the City Lord Mansion and had received more information than ordinary cultivators. They often heard the young lady talk about Ding Fan's various deeds and knew well that Ding Fan was soone who played the fool to catch the tiger.
To ask them to test him was clearly asking for death. Even if the other party refrained from killing them out of respect for the young lady, losing face would be inevitable. Since they all served the City Lord Mansion, disgracing themselves in front of the young lady would not only be their own embarrassnt but also that of the young lady and the City Lord Mansion. Therefore, although they heard the scar-faced man's arrogant laughter, no one dared to step forward unless the young lady spoke.
Sitting across from the scar-faced man was the City Lord Mansion's daughter, nad Gu Qingqing. At this mont, Gu Qingqing was very hesitant. The conditions the other side proposed were completely unexpected for her. She originally thought that the legendary Ding Fan should be a cultivator who repays kindness and takes revenge for grievances, otherwise, there wouldn't be those rumors of Ding Fan wiping out many sects overnight. Gu Qingqing knew those sects were among those that massacred the Dayang Sect; although not all of them, so certainly were.
But eting the legendary Ding Fan for the first ti now, the other side proposed such a condition, which was beyond her expectation. To ask for a hundred Pure Yin Infants, the one who could make such a demand must surely be an Evil Cultivator. Even if not, there must be a connection with them.
After all, only Evil Cultivators would use such cruel thods involving infants for cultivation. Even if such a cultivator could be used for one's purposes, the risks would be very great. Such a cultivator's character inherently posed significant problems, and their status in the Cultivation World was always that of a malign force.
Moreover, importantly, Gu Qingqing knew her father was the City Lord of Pine Stone City, and with his character, he would never agree to such a thing. However, the current situation of the City Lord Mansion was very dangerous. It was known that the Wild Wolf Gang could attack at any mont, and without external aid, the consequences would be dire.
For a mont, Gu Qingqing hesitated.
"Miss Gu, don't hesitate anymore. As long as I receive those hundred Pure Yin infants of yours, I guarantee to protect the City Lord Mansion from this calamity. For , it's also ti to settle scores with the Wild Wolf Gang!"
At this mont, the scar-faced man's eyes seed full of determination. But after speaking, while no one was paying attention to him, he couldn't help revealing a sly expression on his face.
At this mont, Ding Fan saw this scene, feeling very angry at the scar-faced man. Not only was he impersonating him to swindle everywhere, but he was also an Evil Cultivator, ruining his reputation. Ding Fan couldn't help wanting to go up and kill the guy directly, but in the end, he restrained himself.
Clearly, it was best not to expose himself in this matter. After all, his current reputation was too overwhelming, and there were apparent enemies aplenty. Ding Fan still had many things to take care of, and his strength wasn't yet formidable enough to act recklessly.
Ding Fan kept the scar-faced man on his mind, having decided to pay a visit to this "Ding Fan" since the latter seed to know a lot about him. Ding Fan wanted to find out from his mouth how he acquired this information and learn about those sects that were exterminated overnight. Ding Fan believed this person knew sothing, including matters regarding zombies and the Corpse Sect.
After all, Ding Fan still knew very little about these issues. His na had beco so notorious, yet even he didn't know how it had happened. It was evident Ding Fan needed to understand from this "fake Ding Fan."
At this mont, Gu Qingqing heard the man's words, still very hesitant. A decisive person by nature, she already had made up her mind to resolutely refuse the offer. However, her concern was for the current critical situation of the City Lord Mansion.
Gu Qingqing didn't know, besides this so-called Ding Fan, if there were any experts willing to help her City Lord Mansion and her father. Everything seed uncertain, and hope was practically non-existent.
Gu Qingqing could not think of herself, but she could not ignore her father, the City Lord Mansion, nor the several hundred thousand residents of Pine Stone City. If the Wild Wolf Gang's cultivators invaded, it would surely be a bloodbath. The citizens who resided in Pine Stone City would be dood.
"Miss, you should agree with the other side. We have no other choice now; the Wild Wolf Gang could attack at any mont..."
At this mont, a close maid beside Gu Qingqing leaned in and whispered to her. It was clear that the maid was very eager for the other side to co for assistance, seemingly having no concept or concern about the matter of the hundred Pure Yin infants.
Hearing her maid's words, Gu Qingqing's brows furrowed even more. She knew her decision concerned not only herself or their City Lord Mansion but also the several hundred thousand residents of Pine Stone City. Gu Qingqing then reluctantly said to the scar-faced man:
"Mr. Ding Fan, please allow three days to consider. I will give you an answer after three days."
The scar-faced man's face darkened upon hearing this. He knew he hadn't achieved his goal and could see that the other party was evidently inclined to refuse. Thus, he couldn't press too hard. He sighed inwardly but maintained a composed deanor on the surface, then said:
"Alright then, in three days, I will await your news at the Good Fortune Inn."
After the scar-faced man finished speaking, he stood up and left.
"See Mr. Ding Fan off for ."
At that mont, Gu Qingqing said to a middle-aged man beside her.
"No need."
The scar-faced man threw out a sentence and imdiately left, leaving only the middle-aged man who had just stepped out a foot. The middle-aged man looked at Gu Qingqing with so difficulty.
At this mont, Gu Qingqing shook her head in lancholy, clearly indicating that it didn't matter anymore.
The middle-aged man, having received Gu Qingqing's cue, took a breath of relief. However, his heart felt even heavier, and he wasn't the only one feeling this way. Clearly, all the followers around Gu Qingqing were very heavy-hearted. After all, in the current situation, the City Lord Mansion was facing a great enemy, without any outside assistance, and the situation was extrely dangerous, which everyone knew.
However, no one expected that the legendary Ding Fan was actually an evil cultivator who demanded a hundred pure yin infants right off the bat. This was indeed a difficult demand. It's important to know that even the people in the City Lord Mansion live in Moonsong City, and it's unavoidable that every family has a child or two.
Such conditions obviously need to be taken with caution. Therefore, most cultivators were very understanding of their lady's stance.
At this mont, Ding Fan downstairs clearly saw all of this with his Divine Sense and couldn't help but feel a tinge of appreciation for Gu Qingqing. Although Ding Fan knew that the scar-faced man was an impostor, he had no need to act like a do-gooder since this matter was none of his business.
However, he couldn't just let the scar-faced man off the hook. Even if Ding Fan let him go now, Ding Fan knew he would still have to pay a visit to this so-called "Ding Fan."
Although the matter of Moonsong City was none of his concern, he could not ignore such heinous acts being done under his na.
At this mont, He Qianyao and the others watched as the scar-faced man descended from the upper floor and then left the restaurant. Subsequently, they looked at Ding Fan with a face full of puzzlent and curiosity, clearly wanting to know what had happened upstairs. Ding Fan, seeing everyone's curious expressions, gave a faint smile and then said:
"Let's go, we'll discuss it back at the inn."
Upon hearing Ding Fan's words, everyone imdiately left the restaurant and began searching for an inn. From Ding Fan's expression, He Qianyao and the others could tell that Ding Fan had certainly heard sothing quite intriguing, which made everyone all the more curious.
In no ti, Ding Fan and the others found an inn whose scale was neither too large nor too small. The rooms were not luxurious or extravagant but were simple and refreshing, providing a very comfortable stay.
After Ding Fan and the others booked four rooms, they went directly to Ding Fan's room, all eager to hear what Ding Fan had gathered at the restaurant.
Then, without holding back, Ding Fan related everything he had heard. Suddenly, everyone expressed great anger on behalf of Ding Fan. It was unthinkable that there was indeed an impostor claiming to be Ding Fan, and he was engaging in such atrocious activities under Ding Fan's na, sothing that absolutely could not be tolerated.
"This certainly cannot be tolerated. I plan to pay a visit to this fake 'Ding Fan' tonight."
Ding Fan said directly as he observed the indignant expressions of the crowd.
Everyone understood and supported Ding Fan upon hearing his words, but Ye Ningbing was still quite worried about him. She couldn't help but say with a serious face:
"Ding Fan, today we offended people from the City Lord Mansion. If you go by yourself, you must be extra careful. Although the impostor is nothing to worry over, you should be cautious about those from the City Lord Mansion. Although the lady of the City Lord Mansion seems to have a good character based on what we've heard, you must still be careful since we previously offended them."
Ding Fan, hearing Ye Ningbing's words, beca more cautious. Ningbing's reminder was right: although the fake 'Ding Fan' was not a big deal, he indeed needed to be wary of those in the City Lord Mansion. After all, he was currently on their turf. Additionally, if he acted at night, he'd clearly be separated from Ye Ningbing and the others. Ding Fan wasn't too concerned about his own safety; more important to him was the safety of Ye Ningbing and the others.
Although there weren't many experts in Moonsong City, with He Qianyao and others being considered standout figures even at the Early Nascent Soul Stage, it was known that the City Lord Mansion had quite a few powerful individuals. Ding Fan then advised Ye Ningbing and others:
"After I leave tonight, everyone should stay in one room, so it's safer. I'll try to be back as soon as possible."
He Qianyao and the others nodded in agreent upon hearing Ding Fan's words. At this ti, two divine warrior little girls, hearing Ding Fan's words, earnestly patted their chests and said:
"Don't worry, Brother Ding Fan, with us protecting everyone, nothing will happen!"
"That's right, don't forget we're divine warriors!"
The two divine warrior little girls said with faces full of confidence.
