"What do you want with me?"

After hearing the other person introduce himself, Jiang Fan immediately judged that he might be from the Jiang family.

Therefore, his tone was a bit cold.

Jiang Sichen looked at Jiang Fan with great interest.

"Your surname is Jiang, and so is mine!"

"With your intelligence, you should have guessed something!"

"But from what I've seen of your reaction, there's no change at all!"

"I want to know why?"

Jiang Fan said calmly.

"Oh?"

"How should I react?"

"Excitedly? Or fawningly? Or perhaps rushing over to acknowledge kinship?"

Jiang Sichen shook his head and smiled.

"It seems my guess was correct. You have some issues with the Jiang family. Otherwise, Jiang Zhihe wouldn't have gone through so much trouble to have me come find you through the family. He could have brought the person himself!"

Jiang Fan acted as if he hadn't heard his words.

"So, what is your purpose for coming today?"

Jiang Sichen had good manners and wasn't angry because of Jiang Fan's coldness.

He shrugged his shoulders.

"It's nothing. I'm just here to meet you as arranged by the elders of the family."

"And to inform you to come to the Jiang family in Jing City when you have time!"

Jiang Fan frowned.

"Inform?"

Jiang Sichen nodded and chuckled.

"Don't misunderstand!"

"When I say inform, I mean I'm delivering the message from the family!"

"Whether you go or not is not my concern!"

"Alright, since I've met you and delivered the message, I won't stay any longer!"

After speaking, he gave Jiang Fan a deep look and turned to leave.

After walking a few steps, he stopped and turned back, saying meaningfully.

"I didn't want to say more!"

"But... I find you quite interesting, so I'll give you a reminder!"

"No matter what conflict you have with Jiang Zhihe, the Jiang family doesn't care!"

"Martial arts cultivation requires talent, that's true, but it also requires resources. The Jiang family is one of the Thirteen Noble Families and can provide you with many resources. This is an opportunity!"

"Of course, the final choice is yours. The Jiang family doesn't do anything like forcing a sale!"

"Because there are many other talented young disciples in the Jiang family..."

Jiang Fan glanced at him indifferently.

"I've learned a lot!"

Seeing that although Jiang Fan verbally agreed, he clearly hadn't taken his words to heart, Jiang Sichen shook his head, waved his hand, and left.

"Jiang Sichen came to see you?"

As Jiang Fan pondered Jiang Sichen's retreating back, a voice suddenly came from the side.

Jiang Fan turned his head and saw that Xue Min was standing outside the door at some unknown time.

Xue Min was looking in the direction Jiang Sichen had left and asked.

Jiang Fan was surprised.

"You know him?"

Xue Min nodded.

"He's the top student in the second year at Kyoto First Martial Arts University!"

"I fought him during the Newcomer League! His strength is immense, I'm not his match!"

After saying that, Xue Min returned to her previous question.

"How do you know him?"

Her mind suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and she exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh, right! You all have the surname Jiang! You're not from the Jiang family, are you?"

Jiang Fan shook his head.

"I have no connection to the Jiang family!"

Although Jiang Fan said so, Xue Min could clearly tell that he definitely had some connection to the Jiang family.

Xue Min was secretly shocked!

She hadn't expected this Junior Brother from a remote small town to be from one of the Thirteen Noble Families!

However, since Jiang Fan vehemently denied it, she didn't dwell on the issue. Instead, she smiled.

"Junior Brother, how has your cultivation progressed these past few days?"

Jiang Fan grinned.

"I've had some insights, but I've also accumulated quite a few problems. Do you have time to help me clarify them, Senior Sister?"

Xue Min pushed open the door and walked out into the courtyard.

"Go ahead!"

They sat opposite each other in the courtyard, Jiang Fan asking questions and Xue Min answering.

At times, they debated; at others, they demonstrated.

Before long, Jiang Fan's courtyard was once again pockmarked with holes.

After all his confusion was resolved, Xue Min looked at the mess in Jiang Fan's courtyard and chuckled.

"Junior Brother, you're going to have to spend a lot of money again this time!"

Last time Jiang Fan had made such a mess of the courtyard, it had cost a lot of points to hire people to clean it up and restore it.

Seeing it happen again, Jiang Fan couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

"Senior Sister, please don't say it. My head is already hurting a bit!"

Xue Min burst into laughter.

After their playful banter, Jiang Fan asked.

"Senior Sister, do you know the general prices of weapons in the school's armory?"

"I still have some points on hand and want to exchange them for a handy weapon!"

Ever since Jiang Fan began practicing martial arts, he had always fought bare-handed.

During the clearing operation in Yuan City, he had indeed been issued a saber, but it was just an ordinary one.

When facing an opponent, he generally preferred to use his fists if possible.

However, if the opponent used a weapon, he always felt at a disadvantage.

Thus, the idea of getting his own weapon came about.

His principle was: he could choose not to use it, but he must have it!

Hearing Jiang Fan's idea, Xue Min slyly asked.

"Junior Brother, how many points do you have left?"

Jiang Fan raised an eyebrow.

"Over 90,000!"

Xue Min was immediately stunned.

"That many!"

After she reacted, she blinked and asked.

"You were given A-level resources when you enrolled, right?"

"A-level resources are 90,000 points, aren't they?"

"You..."

"Did you go on missions these past two days?"

School regulations stipulated that students could earn a certain number of points by completing tasks assigned by the school.

After receiving point rewards, they could then exchange them for corresponding cultivation techniques, potions, weapons, and so on...

Therefore, after exhausting their initial points, many students would obtain more through this method.

Seeing that Jiang Fan still had over 90,000 points after repairing the courtyard, Xue Min subconsciously assumed he had taken on school missions.

Jiang Fan shook his head.

"These are my initial points given upon enrollment!"

After his explanation, Xue Min finally understood that Jiang Fan's initial enrollment points were significantly more than theirs. She couldn't help but say with a hint of envy.

"The school is really spending a fortune!"

"Not only are you giving so many points at once, but you're also getting two chances to enter a Secret Realm each month!"

"You know, entering a Secret Realm once costs 10,000 points!"

Jiang Fan smiled.

"I'll go take a look later. After I redeem mine, if there are any points left, Senior Sister, what would you like? I'll buy it for you."

Xue Min's face lit up at his words.

"Now that's more like it!"

The Ninth Martial Arts University's armory was located in a cave behind the school.

While called a cave, it was actually a space carved into the mountain by artificial means.

Over the years, the mountain vegetation had grown down, almost completely obscuring the entrance, making it quite hidden.

"I'll take this one!"

Jiang Fan wasn't picky about weapons.

He casually browsed and picked out a rather sharp-looking saber, handing it to the administrator.

"30,000 points!"

So expensive! Jiang Fan thought.

However, the saber was of excellent quality, with exquisite patterns, as if it had undergone countless forging and quenching processes. It looked like a high-quality item and should be worth the price.

"Senior Sister! See if there's anything you want and pick one!"

After spending his points, Jiang Fan went over to Xue Min, who was still browsing in the armory.

Xue Min quickly waved her hands.

"No, no! I was just teasing you! You actually took me seriously!"

"I have points too! I can buy whatever I need myself!"

Seeing Xue Min's clear refusal, Jiang Fan thought for a moment, then pulled out a few blood replenishing potions from his pocket and handed them to her.

"Then take these!"

Xue Min stared at the blood replenishing potions in her hands, dumbfounded.

This Junior Brother truly comes from a noble family!
