"Of course, it's because we feel Wang Ou is unworthy to be the heir of the Pill Pavilion!"
Wang Xing roared and shouted in order to cover up his guilty conscience.
It seems you still don't intend to tell the truth.
Unfortunately, Wang Yao thought that if her willpower hadn't self-destructed, she could have retrieved it and learned some information.
I don't need to get any precise information, but at least I need to know what my willpower is fighting against.
Even if their willpower is not as strong as mine, it is still not comparable to that of an ordinary Martial Saint Realm, or more precisely, not comparable to that of an ordinary True Martial Realm.
Therefore, it can be concluded that the person she fought must be at least at the True Martial Realm.
There are only a handful of people in the entire Great Xia who have reached this level of strength. Even after eliminating them one by one, we can still get a general idea of the range.
However, it's not so easy to determine if they are from other countries besides Great Xia.
Wei San spoke up at the opportune moment.
"Let me take him back for proper interrogation."
Wang Yao did not stop them, but said, "Originally this was our family matter, but it is true that they damaged public facilities and other people's property, so it is appropriate for you to take them back. However, if you find out anything, please pass on the message."
Hearing this, Fatty and Wei San couldn't help but mentally unleash another torrent of complaints.
How could you possibly say something like "damaging public facilities and injuring other people's property"?
It was clearly your fault, okay?
Wang Yao didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said. After Wei San took the person away, she immediately brought the topic back to what it was before.
" Xiao Sanjin, didn't you have something to say to me earlier? You can say it now, I'm listening."
The fat man tensed up again, glancing cautiously at Jiang Fan.
Wang Yao noticed the fat man's subtle movements; before the explosion, he had been glancing at Jiang Fan with strange looks from time to time.
" Brother Fan, he--" The fat man hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.
Jiang Fan was prepared for Wang Yao to find out that he was Spirit Master. He figured it wasn't a big deal; he just needed to explain himself.
" Brother Fan was injured while saving me. I was wondering if my family could send him a batch of medicine for free."
Upon hearing what the fat man said, Jiang Fan's face showed surprise.
Wang Yao raised an eyebrow, "Is that all?"
"Is it okay?" The fat man looked at Wang Yao with anticipation.
Wang Yao had watched Fatty grow up and knew he wasn't telling the truth. But Fatty wasn't a three-year-old anymore, so it was normal for him to have some little secrets he didn't want her, his great-grandmother, to know.
Ah, the child has finally grown up.
"You are the heir apparent of the Pill Pavilion, you don't need to trouble me with such a small matter."
"Thank you, thank you, cousin."
The fat man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead; Wang Yao's glare had really made him sweat profusely.
Back in the dorm.
"You--"
Jiang Fan and the fat man spoke in unison, then simultaneously stopped the conversation.
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent again.
In the end, Jiang Fan spoke first.
"I didn't expect you to keep my identity as Spirit Master a secret, Fatty. Thanks."
The fat man waved his hand, "We're brothers, it's only right."
After speaking, she stared at Jiang Fan again, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
I know what you want to ask.
As Jiang Fan said this, he rubbed his forehead, looking troubled.
"I am indeed Spirit Master within the Zhou Family Secret Realm."
"Then you—" The fat man was about to ask when Jiang Fan interrupted him with a gesture.
"But I have absolutely no connection with that person!"
The fat man continued to stare intently at Jiang Fan. Seeing that Jiang Fan looked like he had a terrible headache, he let out a long sigh of relief, then plopped down on the bed and exaggeratedly wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead.
"You scared me to death! I thought you really had some connection with the Holy Lord of the Church of Justice. I knew it! How could you possibly be related to that person?"
Jiang Fan sat down as well. "To be honest, I've had a grudge against the Church of Justice more than once or twice. The Church of Justice wishes they could kill me."
The fat man didn't know what had happened between Jiang Fan and the Church of Justice at Fortress No. 31, he only knew that Jiang Fan had a considerable feud with the Holy Son of the Church of Justice within the Zhou Family Secret Realm.
If Jiang Fan really had a connection with that person, why would the Church of Justice and its Holy Son of the Church of Justice be so eager to kill him?
"By the way, I heard from Lord Turtle that your contracted beast is related to the four Divine Beast of the Church of Justice. What's the story behind that?"
"This is a long story. You should know that a beast tide once broke out at Fortress No. 31, right?"
"Something this is so serious, how could I not know!"
"Actually, this wasn't an accident; it was deliberate."
"What?!" the fat man exclaimed in surprise.
"Don't get excited, let me explain slowly..."
Jiang Fan briefly recounted the events to the fat man.
"... That's how it is. Big Black absorbed the blood of Nine-Mouthed Man-Eating Mosquito that possessed the aura of Crimson Flame Phoenix, and it mutated."
"Oh, I see." The fat man suddenly understood, and then asked.
"What about the Spirit Weapon? I heard that Spirit Weapon was refined by the Holy Lord of the Church of Justice back then, and only he and the Zhou Family head could use it. How come you can use it too? And you even successfully refined it? My cousin also said that the sword technique you used in the Zhou Family Secret Realm was created by the Holy Lord of the Church of Justice."
"That sword technique is something I learned from Spirit Weapon. As for why I was able to successfully refine the Spirit Weapon, I still don't know. I guess that perhaps the Holy Lord of the Church of Justice unsealed the Spirit Weapon a long time ago, or perhaps for some other reason."
The fat man could tell that Jiang Fan wasn't lying, because he felt he knew Jiang Fan quite well. If Jiang Fan didn't want to talk about it, he could simply not talk about it; there was no need for him to make up a lie to deceive him.
"Don't worry, Brother Fan, I won't tell anyone about this, not even my cousin."
The fat man patted his chest, making a solemn promise.
With the fat man's assurance, Jiang Fan felt a weight lifted from his heart.
"That would be for the best, since explaining things would be too complicated, and it's not convenient for me to reveal my identity as Spirit Master right now."
"I understand, I understand. The tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind. Besides, in any country, Spirit Master are extremely rare."
Especially you, Brother Fan, you've become Advanced Psychic at only 17 years old. If you were targeted by someone with ulterior motives, it would only cause more trouble and even endanger your life."
Actually, there's another very important point that the fat man didn't tell Jiang Fan.
That was his ancestor.
The ancestor mistook the Advanced Psychic who appeared in the Zhou Family Secret Realm for that person. If she knew that Jiang Fan was that Advanced Psychic, I wonder if she would believe Jiang Fan's words.
If you believe it, that's fine; if you don't...
Well--
I dare not think about it anymore.
"The selection competition for the Five-School League is the day after tomorrow. Aren't you going to participate, Brother Fan? You should focus on recovering from your injury and get some rest."
