Borrowing Money, Breaking Xiao Fan's Limbs?

Borrowing Money, Breaking Xiao Fan's Limbs?

Xiao Fan opened the door and was somewhat surprised to see who it was. "Xiao Yan, what do you need me for?"

The one knocking at the door was none other than the protagonist of the Original Novel, and Xiao Fan's current fourth brother, Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan looked slightly embarrassed. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Third Brother, I'd like to borrow some money from you."

Borrow money?

It seemed Yao Chen had awakened. Xiao Yan was about to soar.

Hearing Xiao Yan's purpose, Xiao Fan's heart stirred slightly.

In the Original Novel, Xiao Yan had borrowed money before, though he had borrowed it from Xiao Xun'er.

The reason Xiao Yan needed to borrow money was that after Yao Chen awakened, he had said he would prepare Foundation Establishment Spiritual Liquid to nourish Xiao Yan's body, but Xiao Yan needed to spend money on medicinal ingredients.

The current Xiao Yan had no particular relationship with Xiao Xun'er. In the entire Xiao Family, the person closest to him was Xiao Fan.

Moreover, because of his outstanding talent, Xiao Fan received good treatment in the Xiao Family and occasionally earned some extra money. In any case, he was quite well-off.

That was why Xiao Yan had thought of borrowing money from Xiao Fan.

With that in mind, Xiao Fan casually said, "Borrow money? No problem. How much do you need? Are two thousand Gold Coins enough?"

"Enough, more than enough!"

Xiao Yan hurriedly replied, deeply grateful to Xiao Fan.

Ever since they were young, among the entire Xiao Family, Third Brother Xiao Fan had always treated him well.

Even three years ago, when Xiao Yan had gone from a genius to a useless good-for-nothing mocked by others, Xiao Fan's attitude toward him had not changed in the slightest.

Whenever anyone mocked Xiao Yan, Xiao Fan would even step in and teach them a lesson.

Under Xiao Fan's protection, Xiao Yan had suffered far less mockery and humiliation than in the Original Novel.

"Wait here," Xiao Fan told Xiao Yan before turning and returning to his room.

Before long, Xiao Fan came out carrying a money pouch and handed it to Xiao Yan. "There are more than two thousand Gold Coins in here. Take them and use them first."

At present, Xiao Fan did not yet have a Storage Ring, nor could he obtain a special gold card like Xiao Xun'er, so he simply kept his Gold Coins in a money pouch.

"Thank you, Third Brother. I'll definitely pay you back as soon as possible," Xiao Yan said as he accepted the pouch, thanking Xiao Fan once again.

Xiao Fan smiled. "There's no rush. I don't need money for the time being. All right, you clearly have something to do, so go take care of it."

Xiao Fan had indeed harbored thoughts of relying on Xiao Yan in the past, but the brotherly affection between them had never been false.

Although Xiao Fan now had two cheat abilities and no longer needed to rely on Xiao Yan, he would not suddenly treat his younger brother coldly.

"Thank you. Goodbye, Third Brother!"

Xiao Yan solemnly thanked Xiao Fan once more, then turned and left.

Xiao Fan watched the direction in which Xiao Yan's back disappeared, his expression distant.

"Xiao Fan Gege, what are you looking at?"

At that moment, a crisp and pleasant voice came from nearby.

Xiao Fan looked over at the sound and saw Xiao Xun'er, the one who had given him the Earth Tier Mid-Level Dou Technique last night. "Nothing. I was thinking about where to have breakfast later."

Xiao Xun'er blinked. "What a coincidence. I haven't had breakfast either."

Xiao Fan casually shut his door, turned around, and said, "Let's go. I'll treat our Xun'er to breakfast."

"Hehe, then thank you, Xiao Fan Gege," Xiao Xun'er said, immediately beaming with joy.

The two of them set off side by side, heading out of Xiao Mansion.

The younger members of the Xiao Family watched the intimate pair with envy in their eyes. The boys envied Xiao Fan, while the girls envied Xiao Xun'er.

However, regardless of gender, no one dared show the two of them any disrespect.

Before long, the two found a decent restaurant in Wutan City and had breakfast.

After breakfast, at Xiao Xun'er's urging, Xiao Fan accompanied her as they wandered around Wutan City.

It had to be said that women from any time or place seemed especially fond of shopping.

Two hours passed, yet Xiao Xun'er showed no sign of fatigue and remained full of enthusiasm.

Xiao Fan, however, did not want to continue. "Xun'er, we've been out for quite a while. Shouldn't we head back and cultivate?"

"All right," Xiao Xun'er agreed obediently, though she had not had her fill of shopping yet.

Seeing Xiao Xun'er's somewhat disappointed expression, Xiao Fan rubbed her head. "Don't be unhappy. At worst, we can come out and stroll around again in a few days."

"Really? Then it's a deal!"

Hearing Xiao Fan's words, Xiao Xun'er's face immediately lit up with delight.

Xiao Fan said, "Of course it's true. Cultivation requires a balance between work and rest. Every time we cultivate for a while, coming out for a walk to relax our minds is quite nice. But we can't keep indulging ourselves and delay our cultivation."

Xiao Xun'er immediately nodded. "Mm-hmm, I'll listen to Xiao Fan Gege."

As they talked, the two headed back toward the Xiao Family.

After walking for a while, they suddenly saw a crowd gathered ahead, blocking the road back to the Xiao Family. At the same time, a somewhat grating voice rang out.

"You piece of trash, you relied on your Third Brother backing you up and made me lie in bed for a month last time. This time you're alone. Let's see who can support you now!"

Xiao Fan had not intended to watch the commotion, but upon hearing that voice, he frowned slightly.

He recognized the speaker as Galeo, the young master of the Gale Family, one of Wutan City's three great families.

If nothing unexpected happened, the trash Galeo was referring to should be Xiao Yan.

Once, Galeo had bullied Xiao Yan, and Xiao Fan had stepped in for him, directly breaking both of Galeo's legs!

Galeo had been forced to recuperate in bed for more than a month before he could walk again.

"Galeo, have you forgotten the pain now that your wounds have healed? You actually dare cause trouble for my Fourth Brother again!"

Xiao Fan's expression darkened as he grabbed Xiao Xun'er's hand and forced his way into the crowd.

Xiao Fan released a trace of his aura, instantly shaking all the onlookers aside.

Thus, the two easily made their way into the center of the crowd.

"Third Brother, Cousin Xun'er," Xiao Yan, standing in the middle of the crowd, hurriedly greeted them upon seeing Xiao Fan and Xiao Xun'er arrive.

Standing opposite Xiao Yan was a pale-faced young man with effeminate features. He was Galeo, the young master of the Gale Family.

Behind Galeo stood seven or eight Dou Zhes!

"Heh, Xiao Fan, you've finally come!"

When Galeo saw Xiao Fan arrive, a conspiratorial smile appeared on his face. He spoke sinisterly, his eyes filled with intense hatred as he looked at Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan raised a brow. "Oh? So you came for me. You want revenge? Do you have the strength for that?"

"Hmph, I can't beat you, but who said I was going to fight you?" Galeo sneered, waved a hand behind him, and shouted, "Get him! Break Xiao Fan's limbs!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

As Galeo's voice fell, the seven or eight men behind him immediately charged Xiao Fan in unison!

"Hmm? Dou Qi Gauze Robe, a Dou Shi? Tell your Third Brother to be careful!"

Xiao Yan watched Xiao Fan being surrounded, worry filling his heart, when Yao Chen's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Third Brother, be careful! There's a Dou Shi expert!"

Hearing Yao Chen's warning, Xiao Yan's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted at Xiao Fan.
