Courtesy Before Force, This Is Sincerity

"The path to redemption is clearly clear."

Mu Fan smiled and looked at Shen Tianxun:

"Your Shen Clan must have quite a few enemies, right? Now that the array barrier is gone, how are you high-ranking members going to deal with them?"

"Hiding or hiding is probably not a solution, is it?"

"But this path to redemption can ensure your safety."

"However,"

Mu Fan raised his hand and rubbed it together:

"It will only require you to pay a small price."

The three reacted in unison to this statement.

Just take it as a joke.

A small price to pay.

A little thought reveals that it's impossible.

Shen Tianxun, in particular, knew it perfectly well.

After all, when they went to discuss witnessing the gambling battle, Liu Qian even wanted the inheritance of the Withering and Flourishing Sect, acting like he wanted to take everything and leave nothing behind.

Name your terms.

Shen Tianxun stated frankly.

"No rush, that's not urgent."

Mu Fan waved his hand, and with a flick of his wrist, an exquisitely crafted box appeared on the table.

All three looked towards it, their eyes filled with wariness, their thoughts sweeping over the box, their bodies poised to strike at any moment.

"What's this?"

Shen Tianxun spoke in a deep voice.

"A small gift."

Mu Fan smiled slightly.

"Gift?"

All three were somewhat surprised, but they became even more wary.

Those two lads definitely have something good going on in their heads.

If people are practically ready to rob you, who would bother to prepare a gift for the person being robbed?

At this moment, Mu Fan raised his hand and opened the box.

Brush.

A dazzling golden flash followed.

The contents of the box were then revealed.

It was a rather thick hat, made of some unknown material, but at first glance it appeared to be quite soft and comfortable.

The green fabric was randomly pieced together, creating an irregular aesthetic, while three large silver characters were written on the front of the hat.

"Brain Platinum?"

Shen Tianxun shifted his gaze to Mu Fan:

"What's this?"

"Medicine for healing," Mu Fan said.

"Wearing it on your head will activate the life force within it, aiding in the recovery of injuries."

As he spoke, he pointed to his hat and then to Shen Tianxun's head, laughing:

"Speaking of which, this Brain Platinum Hat really suits you perfectly. Your injury is so neatly arranged, it fits you just right."

Upon hearing this, Shen Tianxun couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

The wound is so neatly arranged?

It's not like I bumped into it myself!

He thought about it, but didn't say anything. Instead, he stared at Mu Fan.

"Why?"

"Simple."

Mu Fan pushed the box forward:

"First offer some persuasion, then use force. Give them a little something to sweeten the deal, then deliver the big blow. That way, the one getting the beating won't suffer too much, don't you think?"

Shen Tianxun suddenly felt a pang of regret.

It would be better to talk to Liu Qian directly.

These two guys aren't exactly domineering, but their domineering attitude is disgusting.

"How?"

Seeing that Shen Tianxun didn't move, Mu Fan shook his head:

"Does Shen Clan not believe in the sincerity of the gift?"

Shen Tianxun remained silent.

He can't even see through this little thing, how can he believe it's sincere?

At this moment, Mu Fan sighed softly:

"Liu Long, your sincere feelings have been wasted like flowing water; I am so heartbroken now."

Without saying a word, Xiao Ye took out a jade tablet and said:

"I understand, the Shen Clan is bullying us too much."

As he spoke, the jade pendant lit up.

At this moment, all three of them became anxious.

"You brat!"

This is absolutely outrageous! Where's the sincerity? How is this considered bullying them?

Xiao Ye sighed and stood up:

"It was terrifying, they even tried to hit me."

At this moment, for the first time, the three of them felt so strongly that people who bully others by abusing their power could be so hateful.

I was so angry I could grind my teeth, but there was nothing I could do!

At this moment, Mu Fan also stood up and glanced at the jade box:

"If we're not going to talk, then I'll leave?"

Shen Tianxun's droopy face was now a mixture of emotions.

He had figured out that the two people in front of him were coming.

It's very likely just a pretext.

The Liu Clan likely had no intention of negotiating; instead, they were prepared to simply seize the property.

Good things can't be avoided, and bad things can't be escaped.

At that moment, Shen Tianxun spoke up:

"Etc!"

As he spoke, he reached out and picked up the hat from the box.

He took a deep breath, circulated his spiritual energy, and then, with utmost caution, put the hat on his head.

"Clan leader?!"

The two people beside him looked at Shen Tianxun with concern.

At this moment.

Suddenly, a bright green light shone from the surface of the hat.

The two men instantly became alert.

The next moment, disbelief flashed in both of their eyes as they stared intently at the hat.

"This is?!"

They looked at each other, and both saw disbelief in each other's eyes.

They sensed an incredibly rich life force emanating from the hat.

Although it seems to have been restricted from excessive outward dissipation, the mere amount emitted is enough to confirm just how extraordinary this source of life force truly is.

Even more intense than their reactions was those of Shen Tianxun.

The moment the green light burst forth, his eyes widened suddenly.

He considered many possibilities: it was just a hat, or someone was deliberately using his injury as a pretext, or even a prank, or perhaps some other malicious intent.

But the one thing I never considered was whether it was genuine.

The level of this life force far surpassed anything he had ever seen.

When this aura enveloped his body, he felt an unprecedented sense of comfort. His injuries seemed to be healed in that instant, and the bones on the top of his head seemed to begin to grow back.

Considering the previous situation, he felt it was no exaggeration to describe the hat as miraculous.

"What... what is this?!"

After a long while, Shen Tianxun finally looked at Mu Fan again.

The sound still carried a sense of disbelief.

Mu Fan's reaction was very calm:

"I said, diplomacy first, then force."

"Shen Clan still seems somewhat skeptical?"

Shen Tianxun's throat bobbed, but he didn't speak.

At that moment, he was at a loss for words.

I experienced it myself, and you'll know how effective it is once you try it.

But it is truly unbelievable.

They're trying to extort money from you, yet they give you this kind of gift.

If his estimate is correct, the source of this life force alone is extremely precious, even for the Liu Clan.

But that's unnecessary.

After all, even if they didn't give out those Brain Platinum Hat, would that stop them from extorting money from them?

Obviously not.

On the other side, Mu Fan felt a little sympathy for Shen Tianxun as he looked at his reaction.

"This guy clearly hasn't eaten any good meat before."

It was just the water his master had told him to use to water the flowers, diluted countless times, yet Shen Tianxun's reaction clearly showed utter shock.

"But that's exactly the effect I wanted."

If the other party has truly tasted some fine meat, then a hat alone won't be enough to intimidate them.

Now that this groundwork has been laid, it's time to bring out the main force to complete the mission.

"What does Shen Clan think of the results?"

Mu Fan spoke, and before Shen Tianxun could respond, he turned and said:

"But this is only suitable for treating head injuries; as for your physical injuries..."

"I do have another gift to offer."

After saying that, Mu Fan turned to the open space and waved his hand.

Brush.

An enormous four-person bed, fully flush with the ground, appears on the ground like a stone platform, heavy and ancient, with mysterious characters of various sizes engraved on its surface.

Above the large bed, there are eight large characters:

The path to salvation lies here.
