Chapter 86 - Little Brother Why Is It You Again

Guo Fan made his way through the crowd in front of him, moving with determination.

Naturally, such a maneuver drew considerable attention from onlookers.

Nonetheless, most people remained fixated on the Soul jewels, displaying a peculiar disinterest in this unfolding scene.

“This won't suffice. I need to incite a more significant commotion.”

Guo Fan contemplated inwardly, intentionally escalating his actions. When he nudged the person beside him, he exerted a bit more force and pushed away the visibly agitated older gentleman.

The person he displaced had a robust physique and a rotund countenance, resembling an independent cultivator.

The older man promptly fixed his gaze upon Guo Fan. “Hey, hey, hey! What are you up to? Trying to jump the line?”

Squinting his eyes and clenching his fists, he scrutinized the man who appeared rather dashing in front of him.

“Move aside! Who's trying to jump the queue here?! I'm just trying to pass through, and you folks are obstructing my way.”

Guo Fan shot a disdainful look at the older man.

Initially furious, the older gentleman was taken aback. He began to question the state of his hearing. “What did you say? You want to go through?”

Guo Fan continued advancing and cast a brief, cold glance at him. He let out a derisive snort and retorted, “I need to hurry and take my sister to the Secret Jewel Inn. If I'm late, the place will be fully occupied. Do you have a problem with that?”

Gu Chao, who was being scolded by his sister, “...?”

The man expressed his confusion with a hint of disbelief, “You're offering fifty Soul jewels just to visit a rundown inn? Are you sure you're thinking clearly?”

Guo Fan halted abruptly and responded with a frosty tone, “We Immortal Cultivators of my generation are dedicated to the Great Dao, with the Dao firmly embedded in our hearts. Who cares about those fifty Soul jewels?”

The paramount objective was to assert the dignity and integrity of an impoverished cultivator.

While he genuinely didn't attach much importance to it... considering the formation concealed in his sleeve still held the 3,500 Soul jewels he had acquired from the Wide Ocean Sect and the Crocodile Demon Lagoon.

Among those cultivators who didn't affiliate with any sect, Guo Fan could unquestionably be categorized as a notable figure.

“I just remembered that I left my clothes at home. I should depart. Oh, and please take my talisman and check if it's recoverable. The Profound Yin Family is quite influential; I'm confident they've taken note of everyone here earlier.”

This was a wily old fox.

In brief, individuals began departing in groups of two or three, forsaking the acquisition of Soul jewels.

Some of the younger participants, or those not in dire need of money, harbored dissatisfaction within them. Currently, 50 Soul jewels weren't enough to silence their inner grievances. In this instant, they found resonance.

“Indeed, you're correct. I don't perceive the Profound Yin Family as a malevolent place, but offering Soul jewels as compensation implies that there may be some individuals with ulterior motives here...”

“It's merely fifty Soul jewels. Essentially, it's akin to swallowing your frustration. Let's move on!”

Nevertheless, this represented only a fraction. Most of the individuals remained orderly in their queue, casting disdainful glances at those who had just departed, secretly deeming them foolish.

Guo Fan grinned as if he had devised a strategy. He effortlessly and joyfully followed the crowd.

You may have your strategy, Zhang Liang, and I possess my own approach.

“This young friend is absolutely correct! I am Luo Shun, the chief disciple of the Honed Reaver Sword Sect. Forgive my bluntness. These aristocratic families, self-proclaimed due to their control over their bloodline legacies, exhibit a certain snobbery. They not only jumped the queue but also endeavored to purchase favor with people using extravagant means. It's truly deplorable!”

A man dressed in white with a sword made himself heard, addressing the surrounding individuals with a loud and indignant tone.

This was not an act of indignation, but a true resentment.

Guo Fan: ...... “??? !!!”

Cui Luo Shun?

Guo Fan opened his eyes.

Wait. Little brother, you're not dead yet... No, why are you here?

Luo Shun pressed on, saying, “I understand that there might be individuals among you who harbor concerns about the influence of prominent families. However, I want to assure you that, as the designated future Sect Master of the Honed Reaver Sword Sect, I possess both status and strength. I will never engage in such high-handed behavior! Today, on behalf of all of us, I intend to approach the Profound Yin Family to demand not just a mere 50 Soul jewels but a sincere apology!”

Damn, this young man is truly a champion of justice! He exudes an aura of integrity and virtue that rivals that of a revered saintly figure!

Guo Fan stood in astonishment, watching as Luo Shun energetically and nobly waved his hands, his expression resolute and righteous.
