Chapter 21 Mysterious Woman
"Sir, we are from the Long family. Please forgive us for this time for the sake of our Long family."
Long Miaoyin walked out from behind Xiao Fan and begged for mercy.
"A member of the Long family?"
The middle-aged man frowned again, glanced at Xiao Fan and Long Miaoyin, and roughly guessed the identities of the two.
Xiao Fan was a "waste" son-in-law who defeated Long Xiaotian a while ago, but he didn't care. He just thought that Long Xiaotian was just a name for nothing. After all, this kind of thing is very common.
If it was a real genius, how could the Xiao family give up? Beat him half to death and send him away as a son-in-law?
The other third lady of the Long family was born with a birthmark on half of her face. She was so ugly that she dared not see anyone.
"The people of the Long family can leave, but this person can't." The middle-aged man pointed at Xiao Fan.
Someone made trouble in the Treasure Pavilion today. If it was all because of the family power behind them, and no one was punished, then the reputation of the Treasure Pavilion would be ruined.
He didn't want to offend the Su family, nor did he want to offend the Long family, so he would just start with this son-in-law...
Xiao Fan's face was gloomy, and he looked at the middle-aged man coldly. The matter had nothing to do with him, but he didn't expect that the other party would target him so much.
"Sir, why can't my husband do it? He is also from my Long family." Long Miaoyin exclaimed.
"Hehe... Long family?" The middle-aged man sneered: "Just a son-in-law, not even a member of the Long family."
"If you violate the rules of my Treasure Pavilion, you will have to pay the price!"
The middle-aged man has made up his mind to use Xiao Fan to establish his authority. His aura surged, and he planned to personally cut off Xiao Fan's arm.
Xiao Fan's face was gloomy enough to drip water. He clenched his fists tightly, and his cultivation was running in his body. He was ready. If the middle-aged man wanted to take action, he would fight with the other party even if he knew he couldn't beat him!
"Sir..." Long Miaoyin was anxious and wanted to persuade him.
Su Ming, who was standing by, saw this scene with a bright smile on his face, waiting for the scene where Xiao Fan's arm was cut off.
"Stop."
However, at this time, a woman's voice came, interrupting the middle-aged man's attack.
"Who is it?" The middle-aged man frowned.
Everyone looked sideways, even Xiao Fan. The woman was wearing a red brocade skirt, a pair of beautiful eyes like autumn water, and black hair fluttering, giving people a feeling of being out of touch with the world.
There was also an old man beside her, with a respectful face, and he followed the woman half a step behind when walking.
The middle-aged man was stunned. He didn't know this woman, but he was very familiar with this old man... Qiao Yuanzhou, the North Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion.
"Mr. Qiao... I don't know why you are here. I will take care of the things here."
The middle-aged man seemed to have changed into a different person. His attitude was extremely respectful. One could even see that he seemed to have a lot of cold sweat on his forehead...
"Hmph, how did you handle this matter? Do you think I didn't hear anything just now? Why don't you leave and accept the punishment yourself." Pavilion Master Qiao Yuanzhou shouted coldly, his face ugly.
"Yes, yes, I will accept the punishment now." The middle-aged man lowered his head and quickly led people away from this dangerous place.
No one at the scene recognized the woman, but what was certain was that her identity was not ordinary.
Xiao Fan looked at the woman and the old man. He had never seen these two people before. He couldn't understand why the other party would help him.
"Haha... Are you curious about why I helped you?" The woman in the red skirt smiled, as if she saw Xiao Fan's thoughts.
Xiao Fan nodded. The other party's identity was not simple at first glance. He didn't believe that the other party was just kind.
The woman in the red dress smiled brightly: "If I say that you helped me win 100,000 spiritual stones, is this reason enough?"
100,000 spiritual stones?
Xiao Fan was stunned, not understanding what the woman in the red dress meant.
"Haha, forget it, I'm Wu Qingyan, you don't have to take this to heart, and I don't think anyone will bother you when you come to the Treasure Pavilion in the future." The woman in the red dress smiled, dimples appeared on both sides of her face, and turned to leave.
Pavilion owner Qiao Yuanzhou also smiled and said: "The young man is very good, my name is Qiao Yuanzhou, you can call me Qiao Lao, and come to the Treasure Pavilion often in the future." After that, the old man also left with the woman in the red dress.
No one knew who this woman was, but they only knew that her identity must be high. After the woman left, Xiao Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go too."
Xiao Fan spoke to Long Miaoyin, who nodded. He only came to buy gifts today, but he didn't expect so many things to happen.
Su Ming on the side was dumbfounded, and he didn't understand what happened at all.
Is it over like this?
"Let's go." Su Ming said fiercely, wanting to take people away, but he was not as lucky as Xiao Fan and was stopped.
"Mr. Su, you haven't paid your two hundred spirit stones yet..."
......
Back at the Long family, Xiao Fan was thinking about the identity of the woman named Wu Qingyan.
He confirmed again and again that this was indeed the first time he met the other party.
Why did the other party say that she helped him earn 10,000 spirit stones?
When did he have this ability? Why didn't he know it himself?
But he couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it. After arriving at the courtyard, he went directly to the secret room to practice.
This outing made him realize once again the insufficiency of his own strength.
This world is full of dangers. He has no backers and can only rely on himself.
Entering the secret room, sitting cross-legged, his consciousness entered the star map, and began to absorb a large number of spirit stones.
The first three levels of Qi Transformation Nine Changes are enough for him to practice to the third major perfection of Qi Transformation Realm. After that, he will smash the stars again to obtain the remaining skills.
The people sent by the Long family to follow Xiao Fan, because the latter entered the Xuanzi layer of the Treasure Pavilion, he could not enter, so he didn't know what happened afterwards.
So the Long family didn't know anything about Xiao Fan selling the Unicorn Horn Knife and buying the Blood Spirit Ginseng.
.....
Time flies, and it's Long Anhai's birthday.
Today, the whole Jingchuan City is very lively, and people come to congratulate from all directions. ..
The head of the Long family in Jingchuan City celebrated his 60th birthday. The entire Long family was decorated with lights and colorful decorations. The hall was filled with banquets, all of which were precious delicacies.
The life span of a cultivator is much longer than that of an ordinary person. It is easy to live to 180 years old in the Body Refining Realm. If you reach the Qi Transformation Realm, you can easily live to 150 years old. If you enter the Tongtian Realm, you can live to 200 years old.
The reason for such a grand ceremony is to show the prestige of the Long family.
Long Anhai was in a very good mood today. He chatted with several friends around him. These were all well-known big figures in the neighborhood.
"The Su family of Moyun City has arrived, and they sent a pair of Jade Ruyi..."
"The Wang family of Linchuan City has arrived, and they sent a piece of Tianhui Stone..."
......
Every big family sent people to present gifts. The heads of these families generally do not go out, but they will send the elders and young geniuses of the family to attend this kind of banquet.
In the hall, there were various treasures piled up, and Long Anhai had already smiled from ear to ear.
Although these treasures were given to him because of his status as the head of the family, they did not need to be stored in the family storehouse. All of them belonged to him, so he was naturally very happy.
At this time, Xiao Fan and Long Miaoyin were sitting at the table next to the main table. Also sitting at the table were Long Xiaotian, Long Yi, some direct descendants of the Long family, and some children of other large families. Among them, Su Ming was also among them.
