The living room fell silent instantly upon hearing this.

The original enthusiasm has vanished completely.

Wei Hongfeng pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.

"Xiao Xu, if it really doesn't work out, I won't go to the auction."

"Anyway, I'm too old for that, so it doesn't really matter whether I watch it or not."

As he spoke, he turned to Xiang Fan, his eyes filled with expectation.

"Xiang Fan, you can go and broaden your horizons."

"Although you are quite strong, it's never a bad thing to broaden your horizons."

Seeing that Wei Hongfeng was willing to withdraw in order to let Xiang Fan go, Xu Weiguang's expression darkened slightly.

"Uncle Wei, this is a truly rare and grand event!"

"Furthermore, this auction will also feature body-tempering pills!"

"Taking just one pill can strengthen the body and even allow one to embark on the path of martial arts!"

"Whether you and Aunt Ling use them yourself, or give them to Old Master Wei, they are rare treasures!"

"As for him—"

Xu Weiguang glanced at Xiang Fan and said coldly.

"I heard he was a convict."

"Going there and accidentally offending some big shot could cause serious trouble!"

"Uncle Wei, it would be a shame to miss such a great opportunity!"

"This..." Wei Hongfeng fell silent for a moment.

He really wanted to buy the Body Tempering Pill that Xu Weiguang mentioned.

The old man is getting on in years and his health is declining.

If we could obtain the Body Tempering Pill, it would definitely improve his health!

But it wouldn't make sense, either emotionally or logically, for the whole family to go while leaving Xiang Fan behind.

Moreover, his attitude towards Xiang Fan had already undergone a complete transformation during this period.

Although he didn't say it out loud, he had already begun to accept this son-in-law in his heart.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and said slowly.

"Or maybe we should just settle for..."

Before Wei Hongfeng could finish speaking, Xiang Fan interrupted him.

"Dad, the token, I can get it."

"If you want to go, I'll take you."

As soon as he finished speaking, all eyes in the room fell on him.

Xu Weiguang was taken aback at first, then his face turned sarcastic and he sneered.

"Can you get your hands on the token?"

"Even when you're bragging, there's a limit!"

"This is a token for the Jiangbei Martial Arts Auction Tournament. It's not something just anyone can get their hands on."

"Do you know how much a single token can fetch on the black market? A billion! And even then, there's no market for it!"

Upon hearing this number, Wei Hongfeng's expression changed drastically.

Although Xiang Fan had previously provided 500 million yuan to resolve the Wei family's crisis.

But in his opinion, this might be something Xiang Fan borrowed from Chu Qian.

Moreover, the token is merely an entry qualification.

Subsequent bidding will require a massive amount of funds!

A moment of hesitation flashed across his face.

"Xiang Fan, this token... can you really get your hands on it?"

"Hmm." Xiang Fan nodded lightly, his face calm and composed.

"It's just a token. If I want it, someone will send it to me."

Xu Weiguang, who was already full of disdain, burst out laughing.

"Someone else is bringing this? Who do you think you are? A master of innate cultivation?"

As he spoke, he immediately turned to Wei Hongfeng and began to offer his advice.

"Uncle Wei, you mustn't be fooled by him!"

"They talk a good game, but they have absolutely no ability!"

"If he then makes up an excuse that the token is lost, it will be too late!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Hongfeng frowned slightly.

Although Xiang Fan's marriage into the Wei family was short-lived, he stepped in and saved the day several times during the Wei family's crises!

Every single one of those seemingly arrogant words eventually came true.

Moreover, Xiang Fan was able to easily cripple top-tier experts, demonstrating his formidable strength.

It seems not impossible to get a token!

However, the Wei family and the Xu family are old friends, so they can't just directly offend Xu Weiguang.

After a moment's thought, Wei Hongfeng slowly spoke.

"How about this, Xiang Fan, you go and get the token first."

"If we can get our hands on it, we'll go together then."

"If I can't get them, I'll just stay home. Anyway, if you want to buy the Body Tempering Pill, it's the same for you guys."

These words made Xu Weiguang's face instantly darken.

He could easily tell that Wei Hongfeng, though seemingly conciliatory, had actually already sided with Xiang Fan!

Damn!

He had endured years of hardship in Kyoto and finally managed to get on the good side of the third young master of the Song family.

He volunteered to come back this time, firstly to impress the third young master of the Song family, and secondly for Wei Ying's sake.

He had been in love with Wei Ying since he was a child, but when he returned, he learned that Wei Ying had not only gotten married, but also had a son-in-law who moved in with her family!

How could he possibly tolerate this?

Fortunately, the news said that Xiang Fan and Wei Ying's relationship was only in name.

If he puts in the effort, he might still have a chance!

Ke Lingxuan clearly had a high opinion of Xiang Fan.

If even Wei Hongfeng sides with Xiang Fan, then wouldn't his return this time be a complete waste of time?

Upon thinking of this, a shadow crossed Xu Weiguang's eyes, and he suddenly raised his voice and spoke again.

"Uncle Wei, let's put the token aside for now!"

"Actually, I have another important purpose for coming here today—"

"I'm going to propose to Sakura!"

What? A marriage proposal?

Everyone was stunned by these words.

A chill flashed in Xiang Fan's eyes.

Propose to his wife in front of him?

Is it because they're afraid of not dying fast enough?

Before he could even speak, Ling Xuan, who was standing to the side, jumped up.

His face was full of coldness.

"Xu Weiguang, your words are too abrupt!"

Sakura is already married!

"Moreover, I am very satisfied with Xiang Fan as my son-in-law!"

"If there's nothing else, please leave!"

Although Wei Hongfeng's reaction was not as intense as Ling Xuan's, his face clearly showed displeasure.

"Xu Weiguang, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!"

"Xiaoying and Xiang Fan are already married; they are a legally married couple!"

"How dare you say such a thing!"

Xu Weiguang, however, seemed to have been prepared, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Uncle Wei, Aunt Ling, I know Xiaoying is married."

"But they haven't even gotten their marriage certificate; they're not even husband and wife in name only!"

"Of course I have the right to pursue Sakura!"

As he spoke, he turned his gaze directly to Wei Ying, his eyes filled with self-righteous affection.

"Sakura, I've liked you for many years."

"We grew up together, inseparable since childhood, I'm the best partner for you!"

"I came today especially to give you a gift!"

As he spoke, he took out an exquisite box from his bag and carefully opened it.

He revealed a lustrous jade pendant inside, his face full of pride.

"This jade pendant is an imperial green icy jadeite that I bought at a high price."

"They even commissioned a top-notch sculptor to meticulously carve it!"

"This jade pendant alone is worth at least thirty million!"

He picked up the jade pendant, reached out and handed it to Wei Ying, his eyes filled with fervor.

"Sakura, will you marry me?"

In Xu Weiguang's view, no woman could resist the charm of this jade pendant!

Wei Ying will definitely agree with him with eyes full of surprise!

She even excitedly jumped into his arms!

Although the 30 million was a bit painful for him, it was all worth it as long as he could hold Wei Ying in his arms!

But the scene he was hoping for never came to pass.

Wei Ying casually raised her hand, took out a jade pendant from her bosom, and placed it on the coffee table next to her.

His expression remained calm and composed, without the slightest ripple.

"I have a jade pendant too, it was a gift from Xiang Fan."

"However, it's imperial green glass-type jadeite!"
