Why must Fang Ruo not be a mortal, the number one beauty of Ancient Martial Arts, to everyone's eyes, how could the words of the most beautiful woman in Ancient Martial Arts be untrue?
"Soone could actually gravely injure the Myriad Ghosts Holy Monarch!"
"The Ghost Soldiers Formation of the Myriad Ghosts Holy Monarch is famous in the Ancient Martial World, Soone once said that the Myriad Ghosts Holy Monarch, below Earth Level, is absolutely invincible."
"Perhaps a Heavenly Level Martial Artist erged to teach the Myriad Ghosts Holy Monarch a lesson..."
For a ti, the people around them were discussing fervently.
"Fang Ruo... Miss Fang Ruo, I wonder who the capable person is who gravely injured the Myriad Ghosts Holy Monarch." Nalan Xiong originally wanted to address Fang Ruo as a fairy, but seeing her cold deanor, he simply addressed her directly as a miss. "It's possible that the person who gravely injured the Myriad Ghosts Holy Monarch might be a good friend of mine. I know many hermit masters at the peak of Earth Level. If I have ti one day, I will personally thank him for helping Miss drive away the Myriad Ghosts Holy Monarch."
Ding Fan was truly impressed by Nalan Xiong, who always tried to flaunt his sense of superiority the mont he opened his mouth. Saying he knew Martial Artists at the peak of Earth Level, this kind of person is really unlikable.
Fang Ruo was also displeased by Nalan Xiong's words. "You won't know the person who gravely injured the Myriad Ghosts Holy Monarch. He is not so senior; he's probably younger than ."
Actually, Fang Ruo didn't want to leak information about Ding Fan. Since he had saved her, she didn't want to bring any unnecessary trouble to Ding Fan.
But seeing Nalan Xiong's pompous deanor, she directly stated it.
"What, the person who gravely injured the Myriad Ghosts Holy Monarch, is even younger than Fang Ruo!"
"So that ans, the person who gravely injured the Myriad Ghosts Holy Monarch is just over twenty years old. To have such high cultivation at such a young age, he is truly a prodigy blessed by heaven!"
"Exactly, to have such cultivation at this age, he really is a genius!"
...
The people around them began to discuss.
These people were calling him a genius, which made Nalan Xiong's face turn extrely sour.
In the face of Nalan Xiong, ntioning the term genius, in his mind, was a direct insult to Nalan Xiong!
"I didn't expect Miss Fang Ruo to know such a formidable character, may I have the honor to learn the na of this friend? If there's a chance in the future, we could learn from each other..." Nalan Xiong said, looking at Fang Ruo.
"I'm sorry, my friend doesn't like to be too high-profile. He always keeps a low profile, so he specifically told not to talk about small matters like gravely injuring the Myriad Ghosts Holy Monarch with others..."
After Fang Ruo finished speaking, she no longer paid attention to Nalan Xiong beside her and helped her master to dine elsewhere.
Ding Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing Fang Ruo's words. Even the most beautiful and virtuous woman has a fierce side, as Fang Ruo's last statent, 'my friend doesn't like being high-profile,' and 'a small matter like gravely injuring the Myriad Ghosts Holy Monarch.'
That was clearly a way of saying Nalan Xiong isn't that capable, but he's always so proud and arrogant.
Many people around also grasped the aning behind Fang Ruo's words, discovering that Fang Ruo had such a sharp side.
Naturally, Nalan Xiong too understood Fang Ruo's words; his brows were tightly furrowed, and his face looked extrely unpleasant. His gaze towards Fang Ruo also flickered with a trace of ruthlessness.
Being embarrassed by Fang Ruo in front of so many people, how could Nalan Xiong feel at ease?
Ding Fan could see that Nalan Xiong definitely wouldn't let bygones be bygones with Fang Ruo and her group.
After having breakfast, Ding Fan, Cheng Bufan, and Qi Luoi casually strolled down the streets of Longxi.
"To think there exists such a remarkable person who even the Myriad Ghosts Holy Monarch can be gravely injured. Such a character is truly a prodigy blessed by heaven..."
Proud as Cheng Bufan was, he still couldn't stop thinking about Fang Ruo's words from earlier.
If soone in their early twenties could gravely injure the Myriad Ghosts Holy Monarch, that cultivation level was truly defying the heavens. It was envy-inducing.
"If I knew who that formidable person was, I would be willing to marry him," said Qi Luoi with a laugh beside them.
Although Qi Luoi was willful, she had beco less capricious and more affable after spending ti with Ding Fan and Cheng Bufan.
Cheng Bufan smiled and said to Qi Luoi, "I'm afraid it's not just you who would want to marry that supre genius."
Qi Luoi held her chin up slightly. "A beauty loves a hero, and I, Miss Qi, have plenty of ways to capture that supre genius!"
Seeing Qi Luoi so confident, Ding Fan could only smile.
Ding Fan had no intention of revealing to them that he had gravely injured the Myriad Ghosts Holy Monarch, and seeing Qi Luoi's reaction, he was even less likely to tell them.
Ding Fan and his group wandered aimlessly along the broad streets of Longxi.
Although the auction was still two days away, the city was already filled with Martial Artists.
These Martial Artists were mostly above Human Level Fifth Grade and below Earth Level, but there were not a few at Earth Level. From this, it was clear that the upcoming Longxi Auction would be fiercely contested.
"Ding Fan! Is it you, the benefactor Ding Fan?"
Just as Ding Fan and the other two aimlessly walked down the main street, a voice ca from behind Ding Fan.
Following the sound, Ding Fan looked over to see a man of about his age standing not too far away.
Upon seeing Ding Fan, the man imdiately showed great joy. "It really is my benefactor!"
The man then ca straight over to Ding Fan and greeted him with the respect due to a martial artist.
Ding Fan carefully sized up the man, and then he rembered who he was.
This man was nad Lu Fan.
Previously, Lu Fan had sneaked a "Martial Arts To" out of his ho and been hard by a villain, only to be saved by Ding Fan later.
That day, Ding Fan had also offered guidance on Lu Fan's cultivation technique, for during his ti in the Changling ruins, Ding Fan had found an Invisibility Pearl and a longsword in the Hermit of the Horizon's cave. Having received a favor, Ding Fan felt obliged to fulfill the Hermit's last wish.
Thus, Ding Fan had told Lu Fan that if there were a chance, he would definitely visit the Lu Family in Dejiang. After all, Ding Fan still had a letter from the Hermit of the Horizon that he needed to deliver to Ren Susu.
However, Ding Fan had been tied up with endless trivial matters, so the letter had yet to be sent.
"Ru Hang, co here quickly and pay respects to our senior. If it weren't for the senior's rescue that day, I'm afraid I would have already died sowhere out there. And this man is also a great benefactor of our Lu Family..."
Lu Fan called out to a young man not far behind him.
The young man appeared to be about twenty years old, with proud eyes and an air of haughty arrogance about him.
"Lu Fan, is he the expert you've been talking about?" After saying this, Ru Hang did not co over to pay his respects. On the contrary, he wore a look of disdain.
"Ru Hang, watch your manners!" Lu Fan chided from the side.
"What nonsense, any random guy is paraded as an elder. This man is at most two or three years older than . To have to call soone like this an elder, I think your brain's got water in it..." Ru Hang huffed disdainfully.
"Senior, please don't lower yourself to his level," said Lu Fan.
Lu Fan had witnessed Ding Fan's strength, so he didn't dare show the slightest disrespect.
Ding Fan didn't bother arguing with Ru Hang. To him, the young man was nothing more than an impudent youngster.
"Did your family head co for this trip to Longxi?" Ding Fan asked.
Ding Fan always carried the letter ant for Ren Susu. If the Lu Family head had co, Ding Fan could hand over the letter directly.
"Not only did the family head co, but the old ancestor has also co out of seclusion. We ca to Longxi this ti especially to find you," Lu Fan said.
When Lu Fan returned to Dejiang the last ti, he reported his encounter with Ding Fan to the family head, and when the topic shifted to the Hermit of the Horizon, the long-unseen old ancestor stepped forward.
Upon hearing the Hermit of the Horizon had passed away, and there was a letter with soone nad Ding Fan, the old ancestor beca restless.
This journey to Longxi was regarded as a grand gathering of martial artists.
The purpose of this outing was to try their luck in eting Ding Fan. To Lu Fan's good fortune, he had encountered Ding Fan unexpectedly.
"Senior, we're currently staying at Noble Manor. Let's go there together!" Lu Fan suggested.
Ding Fan nodded. He then turned to Cheng Bufan and Qi Luoi and said, "Big brother, I have so minor matters to take care of. Once I'm done, I'll co and join you."
Cheng Bufan and Qi Luoi had no objections, so Ding Fan parted ways with them for the ti being.
Noble Manor was so distance from where Ding Fan and his group were currently located. Lu Fan hailed a taxi without delay.
Throughout the ride, despite Ru Hang's undiminished arrogance, Ding Fan remained indifferent. The car journey lasted twenty minutes before arriving at Noble Manor.
Stepping out of the car, Ding Fan took in the sight of Noble Manor.
Outside the manor, high walls built with red bricks obscured the view of the interior.
Lu Fan led the way through a black, imposing gate and entered the pathway within the manor.
On both sides of the path were unnad plants that exuded a refined and noble presence. Following the path for a short while, they arrived at a three-story building.
The exterior of the three-story building was like that of a palace, ancient in its elegance. At the entrance, two wooden pillars were carved with dragons, and under the glazed tiles, a row of lanterns dangled.
In front of this miniature palace lay a large lake, with a small bridge leading to a gazebo at the center of the lake. The lake was planted with lotuses, which appeared not only grand but also extrely pleasant...
The fact that such a large lake fit within the manor's walls was no small feat.
Lu Fan invited Ding Fan to have tea in a gazebo outside the miniature palace and then excitedly ran inside the small palace...
