Chapter 53: Beauty's Request!
At this time, the sunset in the sky had completely set, and the sky was beginning to gradually darken, Zhou Fan once again confirmed the runes of the two types of divine phoenix scattered hands imprinted in his mind, and there was an uncontrollable smile on his face, and immediately, he happily walked down the mountain and headed towards Tianyan City.
When he returned to Jiang's house, it was already completely dark, and in the room where Zhou Fan lived, he locked the door as soon as he came in, and then he couldn't wait to start studying the two styles of the divine phoenix in his mind.
And just when Zhou Fan was excitedly studying Shenfeng, in a spacious study room in the north of the Jiang family's mansion, Jiang Lei sat on the Taishi chair behind a desk, looking at the roof with blank eyes, his face was full of sorrow.
"Squeak!"
Jiang Xue, who was dressed in a light green suit, pushed the door in, stepped to the desk, and looked at Jiang Lei, who had obviously become older than a few days ago, her eyes were red, and there were crystals swirling in her eyes, and immediately, she raised her hand vaguely and gently wiped the corners of her eyes, and said to Jiang Lei: "Dad, I heard that the Zheng family sent someone to send a challenge book today?"
"Hmm!" Jiang Lei sighed deeply and said: "Zheng Hai asked me to gamble on the fighting platform in the city three days later, if I lose, then half of the spirit stone veins jointly discovered by the Jiang and Zheng families back then, half of which will be owned by his Zheng family, and if he Zheng Hai loses, not only will his Zheng family not want fifty percent of the spirit stone veins, but he will also take out one percent of the Zheng family's industry in Tianyan City and give it to us."
Hearing this, Jiang Xue frowned and said, "Dad, Zheng Hai suddenly challenged you so suddenly, and he also offered such unfair conditions, he must be sure enough, don't promise him!"
"I have to say yes, girl!" Jiang Lei let out a sigh, and continued: "The Zheng family is an old family in Tianyan City, and the foundation is stronger than ours, then Zheng Hai has already reported this matter to the City Lord's Mansion, asked the City Lord to be a witness, and is still hyping it up in Tianyan City, if I don't accept this challenge, Tianyan City will not have a foothold for my Jiang family in the future."
"But I heard that Zheng Hai has broken through to the level of the Five Qi Realm, on the fighting platform, how are you his opponent, and he may even kill you. The Zheng family's wolf ambition has long been not satisfied with only occupying fifty percent of the ore veins, they have been suppressing their impulses because of their powerful relationship with your father before, but now that Zheng Hai has broken through the five qi realms, the Zheng family has found an excuse to gamble and want to monopolize the spirit stone mine. Our family is not as good as the Zheng family, if your father loses, then our family will not have much source of spirit stones, how can we afford this family by selling elixir, and the Jiang family will be defeated. Jiang Xue said as she spoke, and there were tears rolling in her eyes.
Jiang Lei was silent, he didn't know how to answer, he used to be on par with Zheng Hai's strength, both in the ninth level of the Huangting Realm, and the two families were in charge of the spirit stone vein, but now the other party broke through the realm first, and the strength was not equal, and the other party's fangs were exposed. There is almost no chance that he can win on the fighting stage.
In the study, there was silence, and suddenly, Jiang Xue seemed to think of something, and she bit her lip slightly and asked, "Dad, can we ask for help?"
"In Tianyan City, except for the city lord and the landlord of the Wanwu Building, no one can compete with Zheng Hai, and there are only three days left, where can I ask for help?" Jiang Lei shook his head and sighed.
"What about Zhou Fan?" Jiang Xue looked up at Jiang Lei and said softly.
"Zhou Fan!"
Hearing this, Jiang Lei was stunned, pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head and said: "Zhou Fan can kill Mao Zhuang, his strength is indeed stronger than me, but whether he can compete with Zheng Hai, I don't know, after all, Zheng Hai is now a real Five Qi Realm cultivator, and in many ways it is not comparable to Mao Zhuang, besides, Zhou Fan and we don't have too deep friendship after all, and we haven't been able to repay the kindness that people saved us at the beginning, and now we ask someone to help, how can I open this mouth, in case people think that you have to make an inch, it will make people disgusted."
"Forget it, don't think about it, Dad will take care of these things himself, it's not early, go back to your room and rest." Jiang Lei waved his hand and said with a tired face.
Jiang Xue didn't say anything more when she heard this, and told Jiang Lei to let him rest earlier, and then slowly withdrew from the room.
In the early morning of the second day, the sun had already risen, and the soft sunlight shone on the ground of Zhou Fan's room through the window, showing a large spot of light on the ground, making the room extremely bright.
"It's worthy of the Divine Phoenix Technique, just the runes that are scattered are so mysterious!" Zhou Fan sat cross-legged on the bed, and two mysterious runes loomed on the shoulder blades behind him, and in an instant, colorful light bloomed.
"Huh!"
A pair of three-meter-long, with colorful feathers, the wings of the divine phoenix emitting powerful fluctuations between the feathers spread out on Zhou Fan's back, the colorful glow was shining, and the wings behind him trembled slightly, Zhou Fan felt that he was going to break through the space, fly to the nine heavens, and pick the stars and the moon.
Zhou Fan had a smile on his face, and when he wanted to try the power of this pair of divine phoenix wings, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Knock knock!"
Then Jiang Xue's soft voice came in.
Zhou Fan frowned, he didn't know what Jiang Xue was doing when he came to him so early, so he immediately dispersed the phoenix wings behind him, got up and went to open the door.
As soon as he opened the door, Zhou Fan saw Jiang Xue standing at the door with red and swollen eyes, holding a food box in his hand, looking like he had cried, looking pitiful, which made people feel distressed.
"Miss Jiang, is there anything wrong with coming to me so early?" Zhou Fan snorted and asked.
"Childe, didn't you sleep well last night? Why are the circles under my eyes dark? Jiang Xue looked at Zhou Fan with a tired look on her face, and asked softly.
"Oh, I was researching something last night, and when I was almost done, I found that it was already dawn." Zhou Fan scratched his head and said.
Hearing this, Jiang Xue bit her lip, handed the food box in her hand to Zhou Fan, and said, "Then the boy should rest first, and I'll come back when you're rested."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to walk out. Although Zhou Fan felt a little inexplicable, he still stopped Jiang Xue.
"Miss Jiang, is there something wrong with you? If you have something, just say it, right? Zhou Fan asked again.
Hearing this, Jiang Xue hesitated, bent her legs, and fell to the ground with a bang, Zhou Fan was stunned at first, but he didn't expect the former to kneel down suddenly, and then hurriedly stepped forward to help her up.
"Miss Jiang, what are you doing, it's easy to say anything, hurry up." Zhou Fan said as he reached out to help Jiang Xue.
Who knows, Jiang Xue pushed Zhou Fan's hand away to help her, and crystal tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, looked at Zhou Fan and said, "Childe, please help my Jiang family!"
Zhou Fan frowned, what is this? Seeing Jiang Xue kneeling on the ground and reluctant to get up, Zhou Fan was also very helpless, so he immediately squatted down and asked, "Miss Jiang, do you want me to help the Jiang family?" Did something happen to the Jiang family? ”
Zhou Fan was a little puzzled, when he came back yesterday, he didn't find anything happened to the Jiang family.
Jiang Xue knelt on the ground and sobbed: "The Zheng family, which is also a force in Tianyan City, has challenged our Jiang family, and it is still being publicized in the city, so we can't refuse this kind of challenge, once we refuse, the reputation of the Jiang family will be ruined, so three days later, my father will have a gambling battle with Zheng Hai, the head of the Zheng family, on the fighting platform of Tianyan City, in front of the whole city, and this gambling battle will determine the fate of the two families, if my father loses, then the Jiang family is afraid that it will go down the road from now on."
In the quiet room, the faint fragrance of the woman flowed, and Jiang Xue's voice came with a hint of crying.
"The Jiang family was originally just a small family in Tianyan City, and it was because of my father that he had risen to prominence, this is his hard work outside for many years, if he is down, he will definitely not be able to stand the blow."
Jiang Xue's originally stopped tears flowed out again, revealing endless sadness and helplessness.
"So, I want to ask you to help us, I know this request is a bit excessive, and you may even have to worry about your life, but I really have no other way, Dad can't be Zheng Hai's opponent now, if he goes to the fighting platform, he will definitely lose."
A flash of surprise flashed on Zhou Fan's face, obviously he didn't expect that such a big event would happen to the Jiang family.
"Childe, if you can avoid the defeat of the Jiang family, Jiang Xue is willing to be a slave and a maid to repay your kindness!" Looking at Zhou Fan's frowning expression, Jiang Xue bowed directly to Zhou Fan.
Zhou Fan was startled, kneeling was enough to worship, who could stand it, hurriedly held on, and didn't let her really worship.
Immediately, Zhou Fan's face turned grim and said, "Miss Jiang, don't kneel, I promise you."
Hearing this, Jiang Xue slowly raised her head, looked at Zhou Fan's face that was very close with tears in her eyes, and said softly: "Really? Are you really willing to help us? ”
"Hmm!" Zhou Fan nodded, and after helping Jiang Xue up from the ground, he said with a smile: "But let's talk about it first, after I help you, I won't pay back the thousand spirit stones I borrowed from you, and the thousand spirit stones will be my reward!"
Hearing this, Jiang Xue smiled, as beautiful as a flower.
"Thank you!" Jiang Xue said softly.
Zhou Fan was about to say that he was not welcome, when a faint girlish fragrance came to his face, and before Zhou Fan could react, he felt two soft lip flaps imprinted on his face. Immediately, a figure ran out of the room like lightning, leaving Zhou Fan stunned in place.
"I'm still a kid......"
……
Three days later, when the first rays of the sun sprinkled on Tianyan City, the whole city became hot, and countless people in the city rushed towards the location in the city, because the Zheng family began to publicize it a few days ago, and on today's fighting platform, the heads of the Jiang and Zheng families will have an earth-shattering battle.
The Jiang family and the Zheng family, the two largest families in Tianyan City, have fought many times, and they have won and lost each other, but today, it is obvious that they will completely decide who is the first family in Tianyan City.
The Douzhan Platform is located in the center of the entire city, with a vast area, and there are protective formations outside the arena to isolate the upper and lower stages of the platform, otherwise, not to mention the monks of the Five Qi Realm, just the duel between people in the middle and late stages of the Huang Ting Realm, the mana fluctuations that erupted and the power of the divine power displayed can destroy this piece.
At this time, the area around the huge fighting platform was already crowded with people, and everyone understood that whoever could win in the fighting platform this time would be able to become the third overlord of Tianyan City.
"I heard that this time the two families used the spirit stone vein as a gambling object, after today, I am afraid that one of them will be defeated......"
"It is said that Zheng Hai has broken through to the realm of five qi, much stronger than Jiang Lei, it seems that this time the Zheng family has the heart to win!"
"No wonder the Zheng family hyped up this competition a few days ago......"
"yes, yes......"
Around the fighting platform, there were whispering voices in the black crowd, and all the topics were related to this fight.
