Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

How could Yue Jianghan not see this? She smiled and looked at Jiang Shaoguang with an arrogant and condescending attitude like a victor: "Since ancient times, it has been a matter of course to pay back debts. It is almost the same principle as paying for murder with one's life. It's just that the means are a little more violent. I personally do not advocate violence, but sometimes, pure violence can alleviate some economic crises."

“Your steward from Luojiang Mansion owes our Jianghan Chamber of Commerce 300 million, so he should pay back 300 million. We are just here to collect the debt. The more extreme methods we use are to better pry out the gold coins from these guys who refuse to pay. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.”

Jiang Shaoguang stared at Yue Jianghan, and Yue Jianghan stared back at Jiang Shaoguang; their gazes sparked in the air.

After a long silence, Jiang Shaoguang turned around, glanced at Uncle Chen kneeling on the ground, kowtowing and not saying a word, then turned back to Yue Jianghan, whose face was full of confidence, and said:

"In that case, I'll pay off his debts for him."

Upon hearing this, even Yue Jianghan was so shocked that her beautiful eyes widened.

She frowned, staring at Jiang Shaoguang with disbelief: "Are you talking nonsense?"

"I was serious."

Jiang Shaoguang withdrew his powerful spiritual energy, narrowed his eyes, and then took off the storage ring in his hand and threw it directly to Yue Jianghan in front of him.

Yue Jianghan, somewhat dazed, caught the storage ring that fell from the sky; it seemed to still retain the residual warmth of Jiang Shaoguang's body.

Just as she was blinking in confusion, Jiang Shaoguang suddenly said, "There are fifty million in here, the resources and materials inside are worth about one hundred million, and some rare treasures and magic weapons are also worth about one hundred million. So, that makes two hundred and fifty million."

“You are someone who understands the market. Take a look at the contents of my storage ring, and you will understand whether I have been arbitrarily quoting prices.”

Upon hearing this, Yue Jianghan circulated his spiritual energy into his storage ring, carefully scanning it before his expression became somewhat strange.

As Jiang Shaoguang said... these things are indeed rare treasures on the market, each one is enough to sell for an astronomical price, and all of them together may even exceed 300 million.

She stared in disbelief at the blond-haired, black-robed swordsman before her, but Jiang Shaoguang was still speaking.

He pointed to the silver sword in his hand and said helplessly, "Although I would like to pawn this sword to you, it is a priceless treasure given to me by my teacher. Therefore, I cannot return the remaining fifty million to you for the time being."

"If you really don't want to wait any longer, you can use some of the decorations from my Luojiang Mansion to pay off the debt, but I can't give you the entire Luojiang Mansion, after all, the child still needs a home."

"If there is still any debt, you can just tell me, and I will pay it off on behalf of Uncle Chen."

……

Yue Jianghan stared at the still-warm storage ring in his palm, his expression changing several times. Finally, he looked at Jiang Shaoguang, whose face was resolute, and Uncle Chen behind him, who was still kowtowing and had not said a word.

She could tell.

From the beginning, Uncle Chen had been trying to get up and stop Jiang Shaoguang from doing so. His trembling leg muscles proved this. It was clear that Uncle Chen did not want Jiang Shaoguang to bear this huge debt for him.

But he couldn't get up or move.

Because his entire body was bound by Jiang Shaoguang's spiritual energy, it was Jiang Shaoguang who stopped him.

“Jiang Shaoguang…” Yue Jianghan murmured the name, then closed his eyes, his face darkening slightly: “It’s alright, it’s just a small amount of money. Even if it’s less than 300 million, it’s not a big problem.”

"That's good then." Jiang Shaoguang nodded coldly.

"but--"

Yue Jianghan suddenly fixed his gaze on Jiang Shaoguang, his eyes inexplicably tinged with a strange emotion, and then said, "I've heard that the Luojiang family has always lived a frugal and simple life. Those decorations would probably only fetch less than 30 million if sold. Although I personally don't care much, it's not easy to explain to the Chamber of Commerce."

"How about this? You can cover the shortfall yourself..."

Before he could finish speaking...

A cold blade descended from the sky.

Frost covered the area, and the long, white sword was stuck vertically between Jiang Shaoguang and Yue Jianghan.

At the same time, cold words also came:

"Use this knife to pay the rest of the money."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure walking from a distance.

Upon seeing this person, Jiang Shaoguang's eyes widened in shock, his expression filled with horror.

Ye Yuchan and Gu Xingzhuo, who were climbing up to the restaurant in the distance and looking down at the whole scene, were so frightened that they almost fell off the restaurant.

Because of her cherry-red hair, her red and white shrine maiden outfit, and her stunningly beautiful face...

Fan Luokui stood before the cold blade, her expression unchanged, as icy as ever.

19. Something really did happen.

The appearance of Fan Luokui was undoubtedly a huge shock to everyone.

No one expected that Fan Luokui, who was thought to appear only in the duel nine days later, would appear here at this moment!

Ye Yuchan, who witnessed all of this from the restaurant, even stumbled and almost fell off the building.

Fan Luokui?

What did this girl do here?!

Jiang Shaoguang stared blankly at the woman with the cold eyes. Her cherry-red hair swayed in the wind, and a hint of coldness appeared on her icy, beautiful face.

Why is she here?

Yue Jianghan squinted, her gaze falling on Fan Luokui, whose beauty was in no way inferior to her own, and who even possessed an ethereal quality. For a moment, she, as a distinguished guest of the Lantian Empire, felt somewhat overwhelmed by her aura.

My gaze fell again on that cold blade. The frost-covered blade exuded an ominous chill, standing proudly upside down in the ground like an ancient snow mountain.

"The rest of the money should be enough to pay for this knife."

Jiang Shaoguang stared at her blankly, murmuring, "How could you..."

Fan Luokui seemed to have no intention of saying much to Jiang Shaoguang. Instead, she slowly walked up to the two of them, gently gripped the hilt of the long sword, and then held the blade horizontally, letting the cold light reflected from it penetrate into Yue Jianghan's eyes.

She stood before Jiang Shaoguang, her tone icy cold: "This knife, isn't it worth fifty million?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Jianghan remained silent for a few seconds before turning his gaze to the blade of the cold sword, a sharp glint appearing in his eyes.

With her discerning eye, this knife was clearly no ordinary item, especially given its superb forging technique, which must have been crafted by a renowned artisan.

But then she noticed that Fan Luokui seemed to have another knife tucked into her waistband, with a few intricate patterns engraved on the scabbard, as if it contained countless mysteries.

Was this not her main weapon?

Yue Jianghan took a deep breath. If she were to judge whether this knife was worth fifty million, she would certainly say it was.

But right now, for some reason, just by looking at Fan Luokui, she felt inexplicably overshadowed.

Especially when Yue Jianghan noticed the incredulous look in Jiang Shaoguang's eyes as he looked at Fan Luokui, she bit her lower lip tightly, feeling a strange bitterness and dissatisfaction in her heart.

"value."

She gritted her teeth and had no choice but to admit it.

Everyone present was watching; anyone with eyes could see that this knife was extraordinary.

If he were to turn around and make things difficult for Fan Luo Kui at this time, he would definitely be embarrassed. As a distinguished guest of the Lantian Empire, Yue Jiang Han could not afford to lose face.

Moreover, she had a vague feeling that neither Jiang Shaoguang nor Fan Luokui were easy to deal with.

Fan Luokui handed the cold blade to Yue Jianghan without changing her expression, and then said, "In that case, can we take our people and leave?"

Yue Jianghan glanced at Jiang Shaoguang with resentment. She had originally planned to invite him to her business association so that he could get to know the master of Luojiang Mansion better.

It now seems that there is another mistress in Luojiang Mansion.

Yue Jianghan took a deep breath, suppressing the unease in his heart, then turned around and flicked his sleeve, saying, "That's enough, his debts have been paid off, you can leave now."

"it is good."

Fan Luokui nodded, then turned around and said calmly to Jiang Shaoguang, who was looking completely bewildered, "Senior brother, let's go."

Jiang Shaoguang: "..."

To be honest, he's a little dazed right now.

He was so bewildered that he didn't even know how he had managed to walk out of the crowd under Fan Luokui's guidance.

Yue Jianghan, standing in the crowd, cast a particularly resentful glance in the direction where Fan Luokui and Jiang Shaoguang had gone.

She stomped her foot angrily, gritted her teeth, and snorted coldly.

"Let's go."

Jiang Shaoguang...

She, Yue Jianghan, remembered this name.

……

……

Half an hour later.

Luojiang Prefecture.

Fan Luokui silently drank a sip of tea, sat calmly at the wooden table, and nodded with a contented expression.

She raised her head, her pale golden eyes landing on Uncle Chen: "Uncle Chen, the tea is very good."

Uncle Chen's bruised lips twitched twice, and he immediately gave a forced smile: "This is newly bought tea, naturally intended to honor you."

"Hmm...it's good."

Fan Luokui silently put down the tea, then looked up at Ye Yuchan and Gu Xingzhuo, who were also sitting at the wooden table, and raised her eyebrows.

In her eyes, Ye Yuchan was staring wide-eyed with her mouth slightly open, looking completely dumbfounded, while Gu Xingzhuo was in a similar state, both looking utterly dazed.

Not to mention Jiang Shaoguang, who can't even speak right now.

She looked at Ye Yuchan curiously and asked, "Senior Sister Ye, what's wrong? You've been staring at me like that since just now?"

Ye Yuchan blinked blankly, then looked at Gu Xingzhuo beside her and muttered, "Senior brother, how about... we tie up Luo Kui right now?"

Gu Xingzhuo nodded seriously: "Hmm, that's a good idea."

Upon hearing this, Fan Luokui's expression hardened slightly. She pushed the hilt of her sword with her left thumb, still maintaining a polite smile on her face: "Senior Sister Ye, Senior Brother Gu is truly joking."

Inside Luojiang Mansion, the chill of the magical artifact Frost Sunflower gradually spread.

Ye Yuchan knew that if they really intended to tie up Fan Luokui directly, they would definitely encounter very strong resistance.

Although they have three people in a direct confrontation, even Fan Luokui should not be able to defeat them in a three-on-one situation.

But if she couldn't win, Fan Luokui could certainly run away. According to Jiang Shaoguang's previous statement, Fan Luokui's strength had already surpassed his, and she should only be one step away from becoming a Saint.

Jiang Shaoguang couldn't keep him, nor could Ye Yuchan and Gu Xingzhuo.
