29: Tianji Pavilion was vandalized, and Helian Ba knelt down.
“On the first day of opening, I got one business deal from you, but at least it’s a start.”
“You charge a million Spirit Stones for one divination. Who would dare to come to you for fortune-telling?”
Fang Ling grumbled at Jiang Yunfan.
Jiang Yunfan said, “This world doesn’t lack rich people. Once my reputation spreads, those rich people will flock to me. After all, this world is very dangerous, and everyone will encounter a calamity one day. Isn’t it worth spending a million Spirit Stones to save a life?”
“If your life is gone, even if you have billions of Spirit Stones, you won’t be alive to enjoy them, right?”
“Since there’s no one, I’ll go Cultivate. If someone comes, remember to call me.”
Jiang Yunfan left and walked towards the backyard.
Fang Ling stomped her foot in anger. “This is infuriating! This guy is treating me like a servant!”
“I am a true Disciple of the Mountain River Sect, the Young Miss of the Fang Family!”
Although she was arrogant, she still didn't leave, staying behind to open the door for Jiang Yunfan.
Jiang Yunfan arrived in the backyard and entered a room to Cultivate. He took out a pile of Spirit Stones and used the Northern Darkness Profound Art to absorb Spiritual Qi for Cultivation, but found that the absorption speed was slow and no longer suitable for his current Cultivation Level.
“The Northern Darkness Profound Art is incomplete; I must find the complete version.”
“System, give me information related to the Northern Darkness Profound Art.”
【Today's Intelligence (Green): The complete version of the Northern Darkness Profound Art is the Northern Darkness Heaven Swallowing Art, the ultimate Cultivation Technique of the Demonic Path Sect, the Northern Darkness Sect. A thousand years ago, the Northern Darkness Sect was destroyed, and the Legacy of the Northern Darkness Heaven Swallowing Art disappeared. What circulates in the world are merely incomplete fragments. The complete Northern Darkness Heaven Swallowing Art is recorded on the Northern Darkness Sect's most treasured item, the heaven swallowing cauldron.】
“Northern Darkness Heaven Swallowing Art, this name is even more domineering than Northern Darkness Profound Art.”
“System, where is the heaven swallowing cauldron?”
【Today's Intelligence (cyan): The heaven swallowing cauldron is in the hands of Young Master Xue, the true Disciple of the Blood God Sect. The heaven swallowing cauldron has already recognized him as its master.】
“It seems I can only wait until later to snatch the heaven swallowing cauldron from this Young Master Xue.”
Jiang Yunfan put away the Spirit Stones and began to Cultivate the Divine Ability, Nine Yang True Fire... Elder Helian Fenghuo, who had been sent out, returned.
“Family Head, I’ve investigated thoroughly. The Nine Provinces Auction House will be auctioning off a partial map in three days.”
“It seems that boy does have some skill. It’s a pity he can’t deduce the other two partial maps yet. We can only obtain this partial map first. Immediately take the Spirit Stones to the Nine Provinces Auction House. We must acquire the partial map at all costs.”
“Yes, Family Head.”
The next day.
Helian Ba was released.
He hadn't changed his ways and brought people out to cause trouble again. Those who recognized him would walk around him.
Passing by Tianji Pavilion, one of Helian Ba’s subordinates said, “Young Master, the Pavilion Master of this Tianji Pavilion is the one who caused you to be imprisoned by the Family Head. I heard he can divine the heavenly secrets.”
“What divining heavenly secrets! He’s just a swindler!”
After being imprisoned for a day, Helian Ba held a grudge against Jiang Yunfan. He walked towards Tianji Pavilion, intending to cause trouble for Jiang Yunfan and vent his anger.
As soon as he entered Tianji Pavilion, he saw Fang Ling.
“Why is it you?”
Upon seeing Helian Ba, Fang Ling showed disgust. “What are you doing here? Get out.”
Helian Ba arrogantly said, “The entire Helian City belongs to my Helian Family. You tell me to get out? What a joke.”
“Tear down this Tianji Pavilion for me!”
“I’d like to see who dares!”
Jiang Yunfan walked out.
Helian Ba arrogantly said, “I dare! Tear it down for me!”
His subordinates, however, didn't dare to move, because they knew Jiang Yunfan was the Family Head's honored guest.
Seeing them not moving, Helian Ba shouted, “What are you still standing there for?! Are my words no longer effective?! Tear it down for me! I want to see what he can do to me!”
They were forced to act.
“You are going too far!”
Fang Ling was about to strike, but Jiang Yunfan stopped her.
“Let him tear it down. Later, I’ll make him kneel and apologize to me.”
“Still daring to spout nonsense here.”
Helian Ba struck a palm towards Jiang Yunfan, but to his surprise, he was repelled by a powerful force. He looked at Jiang Yunfan in shock, realizing that this kid had hidden his Cultivation Level and was pretending to be weak.
“Don’t tear it down anymore; beat him fiercely.”
His subordinates attacked Jiang Yunfan.
Jiang Yunfan pushed Fang Ling away. The few people who attacked him couldn't harm him in the slightest; instead, they were sent flying.
Fang Ling, standing nearby, was utterly shocked. She hadn't expected Jiang Yunfan's Cultivation Level to be so high. Without even lifting a finger, he sent those several people with Cultivation Levels above Profound Connection Realm flying. Jiang Yunfan's Cultivation Level must be above the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Jiang Yunfan stood with his hands behind his back, adopting the posture of a powerful expert. “Helian Ba, my patience has its limits. If it weren’t for your father’s sake, I would have slapped you to death.”
Helian Ba wasn't scared. After all, this was Helian City, the Helian Family's territory. Even a Dharma Idol Realm Giant wouldn't dare to touch him.
“You just wait, I won’t let you off. Keep tearing it down.”
Jiang Yunfan sneered, “Let’s see how long you can be arrogant.”
He left with Fang Ling.
Helian Family.
A person rushed to Helian Xiong to report.
“Family Head, this is bad! Young Master brought people and tore down Tianji Pavilion!”
“That rebellious son!”
Helian Xiong was furious. He instantly disappeared from the main hall.
“Let’s go.”
Helian Ba led his people away from Tianji Pavilion.
As soon as he came out, his father suddenly appeared.
“Father.”
Slap!
Helian Ba was slapped on the spot.
“Father, you hit me again.”
“Rebellious son, how dare you! You actually dared to tear down Tianji Pavilion!”
“Father, that person can’t divine heavenly secrets at all; he’s just a swindler.”
Slap!
Helian Ba was slapped again.
Helian Xiong angrily rebuked, “Do you think I wouldn’t know if he’s a swindler or not? You idiot! If you weren’t my son, I’d slap you to death!”
The desire to kill someone cannot be hidden from one's eyes.
Helian Ba was scared. It was the first time he had seen his father so angry, and he knew he had truly caused big trouble this time.
Helian Xiong released his Divine Sense to search for Jiang Yunfan’s whereabouts.
He had thought Jiang Yunfan had left Helian City, but found him in Tianxiang Tower. He breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that he hadn't left.
“Come with me to apologize. If you don’t get Young Master Jiang’s forgiveness, you don’t need to return to the Helian Family.”
In the past, Helian Xiong indulged Helian Ba, knowing that he wouldn't amount to much and letting him run wild.
Now that Helian Ba had offended Jiang Yunfan, he would rather lose this son than let Jiang Yunfan leave.
Helian Xiong grabbed Helian Ba and instantly disappeared.
Inside Tianxiang Tower.
Jiang Yunfan picked up his wine glass and drank. Fang Ling said, “Tianji Pavilion has been torn down, yet you’re here drinking instead of going to the Helian Family to seek justice.”
Jiang Yunfan put down his wine glass. “Tianji Pavilion is not important to me; if it’s torn down, then it’s torn down. But I am extremely important to the Helian Family, so it shouldn’t be me going to the Helian Family, but the Helian Family coming to me.”
Sounds came from outside.
“Greetings, Family Head, Young Master.”
“Where is that Young Master?”
Hearing Helian Xiong’s voice, Jiang Yunfan said, “They’re here.”
The shopkeeper led Helian Xiong and his son to the private room.
Helian Xiong humbled himself and apologized, “Young Master Jiang, it is my fault for not teaching my son properly, allowing him to offend you. I apologize to you here.”
“Why aren’t you quickly apologizing to Young Master?”
Helian Ba was forced to apologize for the first time, reluctantly saying, “I was out of line, I apologize to you.”
Jiang Yunfan looked at Helian Ba, “I said you would kneel and apologize to me. My Tianji Sect Disciples never make mistakes when divining heavenly secrets.”
Upon hearing this, Helian Ba immediately became furious. “Don’t push your luck! Make me kneel and apologize to you? Dream on!”
“Kneel.”
A powerful Aura instantly pressed Helian Ba to his knees.
Helian Xiong said coldly, “Why aren’t you apologizing quickly?”
“Father, I’m your son!”
“If you don’t beg Young Master Jiang for forgiveness, you are no longer my son.”
Helian Xiong was extremely cold.
He had more than one son, and this idiotic son had caused a great disaster, almost ruining the Helian Family's future. How could he tolerate him?
At this moment, Helian Ba finally felt fear.
He endured the humiliation and apologized, “I beg Young Master for forgiveness.”
Jiang Yunfan said, “Helian Family Head, your son has been spoiled by you. He causes trouble everywhere, and sooner or later, he will provoke someone your Helian Family cannot afford to offend, leading to the disaster of clan extermination.”
Helian Xiong said, “I will definitely discipline him more strictly and will not let him cause trouble again.”
“I will immediately send people to find a new shop for Young Master and rebuild Tianji Pavilion.”
Jiang Yunfan nodded.
Helian Xiong left with Helian Ba.
Fang Ling said, “You humiliated his son right in front of the Helian Family Head. Aren’t you afraid he’ll hold a grudge against you?”
Jiang Yunfan said indifferently, “It’s certain he’ll be unhappy, but my value is incomparable to that useless son of his. Even if he’s unhappy, he won’t touch me.”
