Chapter 296 - The Biggest Worst Softie in the Upper Central World
Yuan Bailang suddenly stood up and stared at Guo Fan for a while before he slowly said, “So that's how it is... Now I know why father values you so much. “
He sat down again. The way he looked at Guo Fan was different.
If it was before, he would have only regarded Guo Fan as a person with some status. He was once a young man who had helped Du ZhenKang, but now... He had completely regarded him as an expert of the same level. Between the two of them... It could be said to be like the difference between heaven and earth.
If it was said that he could doubt and not believe before, he would also casually say threatening words because he felt that the other party had some characteristics of a gigolo. It was not just his niece who had feelings for him, but also the woman behind him.
Anyone with discerning eyes could tell that the woman behind him was very powerful. Yet she followed behind him as a guard, and judging from her actions and her previous doubts about the word “brother-in-law,” it must have had a deep relationship with him. It made people think that the woman was willing to protect him because she loved him.
Otherwise, she would appear arrogant if she dared to be so arrogant even though she was only at the God Forming Stage.
However, Yuan Bailang had to admit that he had misjudged her. From another point of view, it proved that this girl's concealing technique was so profound that even he was able to hide it from her easily.
It seemed like the so-called advancement was also a test of their reaction. Perhaps it would cause them to be surprised and bewildered, or it would cause them to look down on them. It was only after confirming their attitude and purpose that they revealed their true strength.
As the patriarch of a clan who had lived for an unknown number of years, Du ZhenKang especially loved his granddaughter. He would never casually tease her about a major event in her life. To be able to value this young man so much, it turned out that he had already seen through the essence of this young man.
Yuan Bailang nodded in his heart. His father was indeed worthy of being his father.
As a matter of fact, Yuan Bailang had a pair of sharp eyes. At this moment, the man standing in front of him was the biggest and evilest man in the Upper Central Realm, a man who was a mistress. Even with Guo Fan's current strength, he could be said to be the ultimate gigolo. However, these things were not known to outsiders, so they were all fooled by him.
Du Shuren had previously introduced the identities of the few people who came with her. Guo Fan naturally knew that this man whose face was distorted and looked somewhat ferocious was Du ZhenKang's son, Du Shuren's uncle.
Guo Fan remembered Du ZhenKang's furious look when he was scolded by Liao Mu, but he did not think that the other party would “value” him. However, from the corner of his eye, he saw Du Shuren's slightly red face. He vaguely felt that it might have something to do with this girl's current attitude.
He deliberated and said, “It was just a piece of cake. I think the reason why you value me is not because of me.”
From some aspects, Fairy Song Na was quite similar to Du Shuren and could not bear to joke around. She immediately withdrew her hand and turned her head. Only her delicate earlobe was slightly red and was exceptionally cute in the dark hair.
Guo Fan laughed in his heart. Since the righteous Fairy Song Na did not refute him, it meant that she agreed with his words.
He said to Yuan Bailang, “Senior Yuan is too kind. Although there is a saying of matchmaking between parents, I still respect Miss Yuan's intentions and cannot ignore her thoughts.”
A second ago, he had called Du ZhenKang by his name, but now he was called Senior Yuan. He also deliberately ignored the fact that Yuan Bailang had only said a few words in a joking manner. If Huang Quan was present, must know this guy's wild ambition.
Unfortunately, everyone present had been completely shocked by Guo Fan's move just now. They didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it. They even felt that this person had a very good character.
In fact, everyone could tell what Du Shuren was thinking.
Guo Fan's words were as if he did not say anything. He was very scheming.
Next, the few of them talked about Du ZhenKang and Du Shuren's engagement and other topics. Guo Fan took out his ability to play the role of a strategist and cajoled these few sissies until they were submissive. The host and guest enjoyed themselves to their heart's content.
Yuan Bailang even told Guo Fan some secrets about the Phoenix that only the Ancient Sea tribe knew about. He hesitated for a moment. He said, “Nirvana Secret Realm is very dangerous. I don't know what you can rely on. It's best not to risk your own life. Since you are the protector of the Prefecture Master... Subordinates must be everywhere. Send someone to be safer.”
Guo Fan naturally couldn't say that Phoenix and I are old lovers. He could only shake his head helplessly and said, “Phoenix is the descendant of the Four Elephants Vermillion Bird. She has a proud temperament. Although I can't tell you what I am relying on... However, I dare to say that other than me... Anyone who enters the Nirvana Secret Realm will only be burned to death.”
He said, “Since you can provide me with information about the Ancient Sea, I will naturally give you a portion of the Phoenix Blood. There is no need to worry about it.”
Yuan Bailang nodded and said, “In that case, in the next few days, Shuren will tell you about the situation in the Ancient Sea. She has followed her father for the longest time, so she knows more than me.”
After walking out of the courtyard, Guo Fan stopped and said to Si Lanyue, “Do you know what to say and what not to say?”
Si Lanyue saw that his cultivation had been retracted and said coldly, “Of course. Lan Feng's current position is bestowed by the protector. He will not let down the protector's trust!”
Guo Fan nodded and said, “Those elders are all here?”
“They have arrived.” Si Lanyue nodded, “They are all ready. They are waiting for the Palace Chief to summon them.”
