Covering the Sky: I, Wang Teng, truly lack the bearing of an emperor.

Chapter 271 The Human Relationships of Ancient Families

However, the specifics have not been released.

When Ye Fan went to the Ji Family Stone Workshop, the Ji Family Stone Workshop set aside a special place for Ye Fan, and no other outsiders disturbed him. From beginning to end, the only people who received Ye Fan and the Black Emperor were Ji Haoyue and the old king of the Ji family.

Therefore, some rumors circulated that Ye Fan had obtained a heaven-defying item from the Ji family, which caused a change in the aura of the Ji family's patriarch, and was detected by powerful figures outside the family.

In the past few days, some powerful figures have visited the aging king in the Ji family's stone workshop, but they have not received any positive response.

"That thing was cut out by young friend Ye Fan, so it rightfully belongs to him and has little to do with our Ji family," said the aging king of the Ji family.

Some people asked Ye Fan, but Ye Fan did not respond.

Neither side responded, which made others even more curious. They wanted to know what was cut out and even started paying attention to the auction house.

However, Ye Fan did not put that item up for auction.

Deep within the Wang family stone archway in the Holy City, Ye Fan placed a seed on the table, openly displaying it to Wang Teng.

Beside him, Black King's eyes were red, and saliva was dripping incessantly, almost enough to wash the floor.

However, he dared not make any rash moves.

Because a giant axe was hovering above his head, staring at him, releasing a wisp of aura, and locking onto him.

"Wang Teng, we're pretty close, there's really no need for you to treat me like this!" Black Emperor licked the saliva from his lips and said very seriously.

"What do you think?" Wang Teng asked Ye Fan.

"I think it's fortunate that Brother Wang has the Supreme Emperor Weapon to suppress the Black Emperor, otherwise, I really wouldn't dare to take this thing out!" Ye Fan said seriously.

"Ye Fan, you have no heart! We were chased together for so long back then, and I never abandoned you. But now all I want to do is see this seed, and you won't even let me see it. You even had Wang Teng use the Supreme Emperor Weapon to suppress me. You're even more despicable than Duan De!"

Black Emperor stood aside and accused Ye Fan of his actions.

However, Ye Fan remained unmoved.

He remembered clearly that when they were at the Ji family stone workshop, if it weren't for the Ji family's aging king suddenly intervening and stopping the Black Emperor, the seed would probably not be in his hands now, but in the Black Emperor's belly.

"You mean the Ji family really gave you this seed?" Wang Teng asked.

This was somewhat beyond his expectations and imagination.

After all, this is the seed of an immortal medicine. If it can be cultivated, it will definitely give birth to an extremely powerful expert in the future, and it will also allow some experts to live a second life, such as the saintly foundation buried deep in the Ji family.

It's safe to say that if this item remained in the Ji family, it would be extremely valuable!
Ordinary families might not be able to cultivate or protect this seed, but for the ancient Ji family, these are not problems. They have enough time and power to wait for this seed to take root, sprout, and grow.

"Yes, the aging king of the Ji family gave me this seed directly without any hesitation. Even though I declined, he still insisted on his stance." Ye Fan nodded.

He also found it incredible, because if this seed were to be released, it would definitely cause a frenzy among countless people, with a starting bid of at least a million catties of source material. Other ancient holy lands and aristocratic families would personally participate in the bidding.

However, the Ji family simply gave it to him.

“The Ji family is showing goodwill and making an investment,” Wang Teng said calmly. “Your current talent is already quite good. Even with the Ancient Sacred Body, you’ve reached this level. Moreover, you’ve obtained the inheritance of the Source Master, so the shackles of the Ancient Sacred Body may not necessarily bind you. Besides, you have many favors to do for the Jiang family. If the Jiang family’s God-King can really be rescued in the future, then as the one who provided the information, you will definitely be treated with courtesy by the Jiang family. Perhaps that God-King will even speak on your behalf. So, the Ji family is doing this largely because they are optimistic about your future.”

Wang Teng continued speaking.

The Ji family must have known the inside story about this attack on Zishan, because they also sent powerful figures to join in. It's clear that the Ji family's aging king had absolute confidence in whether they could rescue the God King.

Of course, there may be some deeper reasons behind this, but Wang Teng did not say them.

"Do ancient aristocratic families possess such great courage?" Ye Fan exclaimed in astonishment upon hearing this.

"Otherwise, how do you think the ancient aristocratic families have survived for so long? They have been able to survive for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, not only because of the legacy left by their ancestors. Another reason is that they are good at assessing the situation, so even without the legacy left by their ancestors, they would still be able to thrive in the Eastern Wilderness."

Black Emperor spoke up from the side.

He had given up struggling and lay quietly on the ground with his eyes closed.

A supreme holy weapon capable of being fully revived at any time was staring at him, and even he dared not make any rash moves.

With the seed of the elixir of immortality right in front of him, yet unable to reach it, he simply decided to ignore it.

“They are making a huge investment, but so far, the returns far outweigh the risks,” Wang Teng continued.

Only the Ji family and Ye Fan know about the Qilin Divine Medicine Seed. Outsiders can only guess that Ye Fan removed something very precious from the Ji family, but they don't know what it is. In addition, Ye Fan can now appear openly in front of everyone, and his relationship with some holy land family heirs is still acceptable on the surface, so it is unlikely that anyone would be crazy enough to attack Ye Fan.

Even if we take a few steps back, if someone really attacks Ye Fan, the Ji family can still rightfully avenge Ye Fan and reclaim the seed of the Qilin Divine Medicine.

"They're really good at scheming..." Ye Fan couldn't help but sigh softly.

"That's how human relationships work. If they see a bright future for you, they'll show you the greatest goodwill and even go to great lengths to help you, like offering help in your time of need," Wang Teng chuckled.

He has always been treated this way.

Wherever he went, everyone who met him treated him with the utmost goodwill, even the Holy Son of Yaoguang, who secretly wished him dead, outwardly showed him great friendliness.

"It's too complicated. The days when we'd fight at the drop of a hat were simpler and more direct," Ye Fan sighed.

“There’s no need to worry too much. Just enjoy their kindness. He’s waiting for you to grow up. Taking care of them to the best of his ability is enough,” Wang Teng said.

Ye Fan nodded, it seemed that this was the only way.

As for the seed of the Qilin Divine Medicine, it was still calmly placed on the table, and Wang Teng was not tempted.

He has already refused the True Phoenix Elixir of Immortality, so why would he be tempted by a mere seed?
In the following days, everyone continued to eagerly await their return.

Finally, in the dead of night.

A dazzling light shone from the direction of Zishan!

Even though they were millions of miles apart, a powerful pressure still emanated from them, as if a peerless expert had been resurrected and was unleashing a full-force attack!
