321: The Gu family wooed, and got the sea map! [Seeking follow-up reading]

Hearing Lin Fan’s words, the crowd, who had been discussing animatedly, suddenly fell silent, their gazes all turning towards the Shen Tu Family’s seats.

The Shen Tu Family’s referee frowned slightly and also turned to look at the Shen Tu Family’s spokesperson in their own seating area.

In the distance, among the Shen Tu Family, those from the Shen Tu Family heard Lin Fan’s words, and their expressions also shifted uncertainly.

With Lin Fan’s stunning performance earlier, even the Shen Tu Family dared not take him lightly.

Above the Shen Tu Family’s seats, there was a blue-robed Elder. He moved slightly and floated into the air.

His gaze swept around, and then his eyes, which faintly flickered with a sharp glint, settled on Lin Fan, clearly showing some solemnity.

“That’s Elder Shen Tu Tao of the Shen Tu Family…”

Seeing the blue-robed Elder rise, someone in the surrounding crowd couldn’t help but exclaim in a low voice.

Shen Tu Tao looked deeply at Lin Fan and said, “Today’s Martial Arts Tournament has determined the outcome. The Gu Family has won and will have the qualification to challenge the Shen Tu Family.”

“If you can win again, this year’s Honghuang Pagoda quota will belong to the Gu Family. However, according to the rules, this battle must wait until tomorrow.”

Shen Tu Tao’s powerful voice echoed between heaven and earth, with strong Yuan Qi surging within it, making people’s eardrums ache.

Shen Tu Tao had watched Lin Fan’s battle just now, and even he felt some threat from Lin Fan.

In Shen Tu Tao’s heart, his confidence in Shen Tu Jue couldn’t help but decline.

He planned to take advantage of the remaining time today to discuss with Shen Tu Jue how to win the battle of guarding the Pagoda!

“Is that so? Then let it be tomorrow,” Lin Fan smiled faintly, then his figure flickered and he returned to the Gu Family’s seats.

Shen Tu Tao watched Lin Fan’s figure descend and then returned to the Shen Tu Family’s seats.

“Let’s go back,” Shen Tu Tao waved his hand, instructing the members of the Shen Tu Family.

Immediately, the Shen Tu Family members were the first to leave the mountain peak plaza.

However, Shen Tu Tao detached himself from the group and went alone towards the Honghuang Pagoda.

“Many thanks to Young Master Lin Fan this time!”

As soon as Lin Fan’s figure landed, Elder Gu Shuo of the Gu Family came forward, expressing his gratitude.

Lin Fan smiled faintly and said, “I was also fighting for myself, Elder Gu Shuo doesn’t need to be so polite.”

“Haha, if it weren’t for Young Master Lin Fan, my Gu Family probably wouldn’t have had any hope at all,” Gu Shuo chuckled lightly and said.

Lin Fan smiled faintly, changing the subject, and said, “After tomorrow’s battle, it should be decided who gets the quota to enter the Honghuang Pagoda, right?”

“En,” Gu Shuo nodded and smiled, “After tomorrow, if my Gu Family can obtain the Honghuang Pagoda quota, then you brothers will also be able to enter the Honghuang Pagoda.”

“Haha, I see that Young Master Lin Fan and Young Master Lin Dong have no affiliation with any force. It just so happens that my Gu Family lacks offerings. If the two of you could stay with my Gu Family temporarily, next year’s Honghuang Pagoda quota would likely also be secured. This should also have a considerable effect on your Cultivation.”

Gu Shuo’s eyes darted around, then he suddenly smiled and spoke, his words filled with a strong sense of recruitment.

After witnessing Lin Fan’s battle, Gu Shuo was clearly very tempted. At such a young age, he already possessed the strength of Life Profound Realm Perfection. It was likely that becoming a Reincarnation Realm expert in the future would be no problem for him.

As for Lin Dong, although he was not as strong as Lin Fan, from his observations, he was also quite formidable. If both of them could join the Gu Family, the Gu Family’s strength would surely greatly increase, and its status in the Tianfeng Sea Region, and even the entire Chaotic Demon Sea, would improve significantly.

Lin Fan and Lin Dong exchanged glances, then smiled and shook their heads, saying, “Apologies, Elder Gu Shuo, my brother and I have important matters to attend to and will leave after coming out of the Honghuang Pagoda.”

Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed across Gu Shuo’s aged face, and he could only regretfully say, “Since that is the case, then I will not force you. The Gu Family will always be your friends, and you are welcome to visit the Gu Family at any time.”

“We will,” Lin Fan nodded slightly and said.

At this moment, Lin Dong, who was beside them, asked, “What kind of format will tomorrow’s battle to guard the Pagoda be?”

“There are no special rules for that; you just need to defeat Shen Tu Jue, who is guarding the Pagoda. Of course, we can send three people to fight,” Gu Shuo replied with a smile upon hearing the question.

Lin Fan shook his head and said, “Three people? There’s no need for such trouble. That Shen Tu Family is at most at the Life Profound Realm Great Accomplishment, I can deal with him with a casual flick of my hand.”

Hearing Lin Fan’s words, Gu Mengqi and Gu Yan exchanged glances, a bitter smile appearing on their lips.

They were only at the Early Stage of Life Profound Realm, yet an expert at the Life Profound Realm Great Accomplishment was already considered insignificant in Lin Fan’s eyes.

The gap between them was indeed quite large… Gu Shuo smiled and said, “With Young Master Lin Fan’s strength, there will naturally be no problem. Let’s go back first and come again tomorrow.”

Lin Fan nodded slightly, having no objections to this.

Immediately, the group returned to the Gu Family’s station on Xuanling Island.

After returning to the Gu Family’s station on Xuanling Island, Gu Yuntian, Gu Mengqi, and Gu Yan, the three outstanding younger generations of the Gu Family, along with Gu Shuo and other high-ranking Gu Family members, held a banquet to celebrate today’s victory.

After the banquet ended, Lin Fan returned to the small courtyard the Gu Family had arranged for him.

With nothing else to do, Lin Fan once again entered a shallow state of Cultivation.

Suddenly, Lin Fan, who was Cultivating, raised an eyebrow, because he sensed that someone had appeared at the entrance of the small courtyard.

Lin Fan looked up slightly, towards the entrance of the small courtyard.

There, a graceful figure stood elegantly, her plain white dress outlining her captivating curves, and her gentle and beautiful face belonged to Gu Mengqi.

“Miss Mengqi, is something the matter?” Lin Fan stood up, looking at Gu Mengqi, and asked.

Gu Mengqi smiled sweetly, stepped into the small courtyard, walked to Lin Fan’s side, then gently raised her delicate hand, and a thick parchment scroll appeared in her hand, “Here, I heard from Xiao Yan that you need a sea chart of the Chaotic Demon Sea.”

“Thank you, Miss Mengqi,” Lin Fan reached out to take the sea chart, smiling.

Gu Mengqi said softly, “This is not as precious as a life profound spirit fruit, and you’ve helped my Gu Family so much, it’s I who should be thanking you.”

“Haha, then I won’t say any more polite words,” Lin Fan smiled slightly and said.

“Are you really unwilling to stay with the Gu Family? Actually, the status of an offering in the Gu Family would not restrict your freedom,” Gu Mengqi was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke with some hesitation.

“Apologies, I still have many things to do and must leave,” Lin Fan shook his head slightly and said.

Gu Mengqi’s eyes dimmed slightly, she sighed softly, then said in a low voice, “Regarding the sea chart, Xiao Yan should have told you that there are still many unknown sea regions in this Chaotic Demon Sea, so you may not necessarily find what you are looking for on the sea chart.”

“However, at some large auctions, sea charts of unknown sea regions will appear. Those are all from the Sea Demon Clan. If you encounter such an auction, you can go and take a look.”

“Thank you for the reminder,” Lin Fan nodded slightly and said.

Gu Mengqi shook her head, then chatted with Lin Fan for a while longer before turning to leave.

After Gu Mengqi left, Lin Fan took the sea chart into his room, then spread it out, allowing his Mental Energy to spread out and absorb all the contents of the sea chart into his mind. (End of Chapter)
