"I'm not kidding, I'm serious. Do you know where I can get the essence blood of the Crimson Flame Phoenix?" Jiang Fan asked.
"Nonsense, of course it's the Church of Justice."
"What you're saying is utter nonsense! Do you think I don't know the Church of Justice exists? I'm asking, besides the Church of Justice— "
Jiang Fan was interrupted by the Crazy Old Man before he could finish speaking.
"No."
Hearing the Crazy Old Man's decisive and straightforward answer, Jiang Fan's brows furrowed.
If that's the case, then Big Black will never be able to advance, right?
Suddenly, Jiang Fan thought of someone.
No, it should be a turtle.
The Little Turtle beside Wang Yao Black Tortoise Baxia, one of the four Divine Beast of the Church of Justice.
It definitely knows the headquarters of the Church of Justice and is very familiar with the situation inside. If it can help, the probability of obtaining the Crimson Flame Phoenix's essence blood is not small.
Unfortunately, although Wang Yao mistakenly took him for the reincarnation of the Holy Lord of the Church of Justice, the Little Turtle's attitude of wanting to spit in his face whenever it saw him clearly showed that it didn't believe him.
Why don't you try to find out more about the leader of the Church of Justice from the Crazy Old Man, and then find a way to impersonate him and make the Little Turtle believe you?
The moment the idea came to mind, I immediately shook my head and rejected it.
Putting aside whether he could actually impersonate her, even if he succeeded, what would happen if he were exposed one day? Not to mention what the Little Turtle would do to him, that Crazy Woman Wang Yao once disfigured that so-called holy son with a single whip.
Although Wang Yao was only at the High-Stage Third Rank, he always felt that this woman was a hundred times more dangerous than the Little Turtle.
Thinking of Wang Yao, Jiang Fan couldn't help but feel a headache coming on again.
This matter needs to be addressed upfront and resolved.
" Crazy Old Man, I need your help with something."
"You don't mean you want me to steal the essence blood of the Crimson Flame Phoenix from the Church of Justice for you, do you? You think too highly of me. If I weren't injured, it wouldn't be a big problem. But in my current state, even if I risked my life, I probably couldn't do it."
"That's not it."
Jiang Fan knew about the Crazy Old Man's condition, so how could he possibly make such a request?
"And what is it then?"
Hearing that they weren't going to steal the essence of the Crimson Flame Phoenix, the Crazy Old Man relaxed considerably and even felt like drinking heartily.
"Gulp--Gulp gurgling gurgling--"
He tilted his head back and drank several mouthfuls in a row.
Jiang Fan rubbed his temples and said, "That Wang Yao seems to have guessed that I'm the Advanced Psychic who appeared in the Zhou Family Secret Realm. She mistook me for that person and won't let me go. Could you help explain this to her?"
"Pfft--cough cough cough--"
The Crazy Old Man nearly choked to death on a mouthful of strong liquor, and it took him a long time to recover.
"When did this happen?"
"Just yesterday's match."
"What? The competition? You revealed your status as Advanced Psychic on the field? That can't be right. Such a big thing would have caused a sensation throughout the entire Great Xia by now."
"Of course I won't use my Psychic Power in the Five-School League."
"How did that Crazy Old Woman guess it?" the Crazy Old Man asked curiously.
Jiang Fan shrugged. "How should I know?"
"You ever took out Spirit Weapon in front of him?"
Absolutely not!
"Then why would she suddenly suspect that you are the Advanced Psychic in the Zhou Family Secret Realm?"
"I already said, I don't know either."
The conversation fell silent at this point.
The Crazy Old Man's eyelids were half-closed, his eyes were dark and unfathomable, and it was unclear what he was thinking. When he spoke again, his voice was noticeably deeper.
"That dead turtle... what's its attitude?"
"What attitude?"
The sudden question caught Jiang Fan off guard.
"My attitude towards you?" the Crazy Old Man asked, squinting.
"Hmm... how should I put it? The way they looked at me was like I was a pile of shit, like they wanted to kick me in the face."
After saying that, Jiang Fan nodded in agreement, feeling that his description was quite apt.
The Crazy Old Man's furrowed brows suddenly relaxed, and he picked up the wine jug, taking a couple of leisurely sips.
Those eyes, which had darkened, gradually brightened.
"Anyway, you need to help me figure out a way to resolve this. That Crazy Woman is too dangerous; things can't go on like this," Jiang Fan said.
"I already know what happened. I'll try my best."
That Crazy Old Woman, once she sets her mind on something, she's unwavering.
If he couldn't find concrete evidence to prove that Jiang Fan had no relationship with that person, frankly, he wasn't very confident he could successfully persuade him.
But as Jiang Fan said, this matter could be a big deal or a small deal, and continuing it wouldn't be a good thing.
Moreover, Jiang Fan was, after all, his own disciple. To be mistaken for that person was something he simply couldn't accept.
Looks like we'll have to use our trump card.
After hanging up with Jiang Fan, the Crazy Old Man immediately contacted Wang Yao.
"Hey! What brings you to call me Little One? Missing your big sister? Want her to have a drink with you?"
Upon hearing this, the Crazy Old Man nearly hung up the phone.
Normally, he would definitely have failed.
But considering Jiang Fan Fan's request, he could only grit his teeth and persevere.
My dear disciple, you owe your master a great debt of gratitude. You must make it up to me in the future.
"Huh? Why aren't you saying anything? Were you so moved by my words that you lost your voice?"
The Crazy Old Man resisted the urge to roll his eyes and got straight to the point.
"You guessed that Jiang Fan is the Advanced Psychic within the Zhou Family Secret Realm?"
It's not that he asked directly, but rather that he understands Wang Yao. Once she's made up her mind about something, unless the other party provides enough evidence to convince her, she'll follow her woman's intuition and fight to the bitter end.
In other words, once Wang Yao guessed and concluded that Jiang Fan was Advanced Psychic within the Zhou Family Secret Realm, it was already a foregone conclusion, so it was better to just be frank.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yao's face showed a slight look of surprise.
"So you knew all along that he was the person from the Zhou Family Secret Realm. Alright, Ergouzi, you even pretended to be clueless last time. So you knew all along that Jiang Fan was his reincarnation."
"That's bullshit!"
The Crazy Old Man couldn't control himself and started swearing.
"I'm calling you to tell you that he is definitely not that person's reincarnation!"
Wang Yao raised an eyebrow. "Are you so sure? Do you have any evidence?"
The Crazy Old Man took a deep breath, looking as if he had made up his mind.
Jiang Fan my apprentice.
"What???"
Wang Yao's face showed a rare look of stunned disbelief, clearly dumbfounded by the Crazy Old Man's words.
"It's true," the Crazy Old Man emphasized. "He really is my disciple. I wouldn't joke about something like this with you. If he were truly that person's reincarnation, do you think he would acknowledge me as his master? How could I possibly accept him as a disciple?"
"Pfft, hahahaha--" Wang Yao couldn't stop laughing, laughing so hard she was doubled over, tears streaming down her face.
Without even looking, just by hearing that laughter, the Crazy Old Man could imagine Wang Yao bursting into laughter.
For no reason at all, I just get angry.
"What's so funny?!"
"I--hahaha--can't take it anymore--ouch--"
Wang Yao kicked and thrashed her legs on the bed, making a series of loud banging noises.
