C729 I Don't Give You a Cent?

"Venerable One, you've sensed the presence of the Holy Maiden." In an extremely open area, a cloaked person was currently looking into the distance. A similarly dressed person walked in as he spoke extremely respectfully.

"Mm. The news from the Spirit Abyss came in. The Holy Maiden left with the person who took the soul stone. It seems like the person who took the soul stone came as well." It was also an aged voice, but there were some ripples in it.

"Then should we take the Soul Stone back?" A hesitant voice sounded.

"There's no need. You can just send someone to watch." The elderly voice spoke once again, "The Holy Maiden hasn't made her move yet, which means she definitely has her own intentions. Just watch and cooperate with her. If anything happens, just notify me in advance."

"Yes!" The voice carried a hint of respect. After saying this simple word, the ripples on the surface disappeared.

After the person disappeared, the person remained in the same spot. His eyes, hidden by the cloak, flickered as he spoke, "He still hasn't said it yet?"

As soon as the old voice finished speaking, an ethereal voice seemed to echo from all around.

"Continue asking. That place must be interrogated!" The old voice sounded once again, and there was a hint of coldness within it.

"Yes!" A similarly respectful voice rang out. When it disappeared, it also completely disappeared. In an instant, the entire spacious hall returned to silence.

"The lonely old man huh?" Zhang Fan's eyes swept the bustling capital city with his gaze. With how big this Aquatic Cloud Stream was, finding it would be easier said than done. He frowned slightly, as what he could do now was to go to the Hundred Dawn Guild and inquire about it, perhaps he could ask them about it. After all, the Hundred Dawn Guild's existence in this world was an extremely special one.

As Zhang Fan thought of this, he also began to inquire about the location of the Hundred Dawn Association. Just as he had expected, the moment he asked the first person, he already knew where it was.

The Hundred Dawn Guild was quite eye-catching. After they had gone over, they saw it. At this time, they had brought two people with them as well, and after waiting in line for an hour, it was their turn. Zhang Fan directly asked: "I want to know the exact location of the lonely old man."

"Yes, young master. Let us inquire about it." A pleasant voice rang out. The girl left, and not too long after, she came back and spoke directly to him, "Young master, the person you want to inquire about is in the Water Cloud Stream. However, his whereabouts are unpredictable, so we can't say for sure, but we can provide young master with a concrete portrait. You can look for him yourself."

"Ok, thank you." Zhang Fan nodded his head slightly. After paying the money, a portrait appeared in his hand.

Zhang Fan opened the portrait when he was walking outside. At this time, he couldn't help but open it up and take a look, and his brows wrinkled again. The portrait didn't show anything, and a very ordinary old man started to frown deeper and deeper as he carefully examined it, but he believed that the Hundred Dawn Guild wouldn't provide any false information, otherwise, it would be too much of a loss to their reputation.

He took a closer look and discovered that there was a hemorrhoids below the portrait. This could be considered the only mark. However, the Aquatic Cloud Stream was so big and there were so many people. Wanting to find it was easier said than done …

However, he quickly came up with a good idea, they were definitely going to be very difficult, but the local people were probably simpler, so at that moment, he went to another union, the Adventure Association, which was one of the special existences on the continent. After giving out missions and getting the money, there would definitely be people who would accept it, and after consulting, he also understood that according to the difficulty, the number of coins, he had to determine the level of employment, because the level of employment was limited, and the higher the level, the more people he would hire.

To put it bluntly, he still had a lot of money on him, so he had to fork out two million Xuan Crystals. The last person he managed to hire was an A rank, so it might not be easy for him to find another person.

After the quest was completed, the existence of this level attracted a lot of attention, but because of the level restrictions, everyone left.

According to what the people here said, they should leave and wait for further information, but just as they were about to leave, a man stopped them, his face was filled with a smile, and he said: "Hello, I am from the Heavenly Rankers, we have seen the mission you reported for, as long as we return the coins, we will not charge you anything, we will bring you over a million gold coins."

After that person's voice faded, Zhang Fan was suddenly stunned. His purple eyes also landed on that person as he said, "You've seen it before!"

"That's right! I've seen him before!" The man continued to nod his head, then said, "How about we find that person? If we can't find him, then we won't charge you for your gold."

Zhang Fan's eyes suddenly flickered. At this moment, he directly spoke out: "I'm not giving you a single cent!"

When the man heard this, his breath caught in his throat and a look of astonishment appeared on his face. He then said with a smile, "What do you mean by that?"

"Hur hur, it's not interesting. If you won't take any money, I can go with you and have a look." Zhang Fan smiled indifferently.

As his voice faded, Yu Jiu's eyes revealed an extremely puzzled expression. This kind of unequal conditions could be negotiated? This was the first time she had seen Zhang Fan like this. Was he not afraid of directly leaving?

Just when Jiu Jiu was about to lose his train of thought, Zhang Fan continued, "Hur Hur, you don't have to play games anymore. One million gold coins, I think you have another purpose, that is to find a group of adventurers to swallow it."

As soon as his voice fell, the man's facial expression changed. His eyes flickered as he looked at Zhang Fan and said, "How do you know?"

Zhang Fan smiled and said, "Observing, if you have anything you want to say right now, we can cooperate."

The man frowned slightly and lowered his head. Zhang Fan looked at him again, then turned his head and said, "Okay, let's go." After saying this, he took the lead to walk outside. Yu Jiu and Yanran looked at each other for a moment before following.

"Brother, wait!" Seeing that Zhang Fan was really about to leave, the man's face immediately became anxious. He hurriedly said this and clenched his teeth before quickly walking up to Zhang Fan.1

The corner of his mouth curled up slightly and a smile appeared at this moment. When he turned around, the smile disappeared in an instant. "Is there something else?"

"I would like to ask, how strong are the three of you?" The man asked directly after taking a deep breath.

"Strength?" Zhang Fan pondered for a moment, then replied, "Mysterious God, right?" As he spoke, his gaze fell upon Yu Jiu and Yanran, and he continued, "My wife's strength has reached the Saint Profound Realm." He did not continue to speak of Yanran, as he still remembered her as an ordinary girl, after all, he still vividly remembered the scenes of her being bullied.

At this moment, Yu Jiu's face was extremely rosy, and his clear eyes, which were hidden under the bamboo hat, couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Zhang Fan saying 'my wife' really made her both surprised and happy. It was a kind of indescribable feeling.

When the man heard this, his face revealed a look of disbelief. After regaining his senses, he nodded his head and directly said, "Alright, I understand. Return the coins first."

Zhang Fan nodded and brought the two of them in once again. As he was retreating, he had been deducted more than two hundred thousand Xuan Crystal Coins, and he was also very clear on what exactly it was. After all, he had defaulted on the contract, but he did not care as he directly said: "The three of you, follow me." After saying this, he walked outside.

Zhang Fan, along with Yu Jiu and Yanran, followed behind the man.

Along the way, Zhang Fan also learned that the man's name was Wen Bihua, and that he was actually one of the people in this river of clouds. In addition, he also understood that the purpose of going to the Adventurer Guild was as he had guessed, to announce a person to the public. It turned out that he was also a member of the adventurer group, but when he was on a mission with the people in the group, he encountered an old man, and his wife was captured by that old man.

Since they didn't want their own people to follow them, they decided to come here and issue an assignment. However, they didn't have much money, so they didn't expect to run into Zhang Fan who posted an assignment.

However, what he did not expect was that Zhang Fan actually found such a clue …

Zhang Fan, on the other hand, had a somewhat strange expression on his face. According to what the old man had said to Zhang Fan, he was a senior expert of the Eclipse Tribe, so why would he do such a thing? As he was feeling extremely puzzled, he heard the man say, "Looking for him is also a matter. Of course, you can rest assured that we didn't know each other before this."

Hearing Zhang Fan's words, the man felt reassured. However, after some hesitation, he still said, "Brother, you really have the strength of a Spirit Xuan expert."

"Yes." Zhang Fan nodded his head again. He understood why the other party was so worried. If he were to change his position, he would probably ask the same question.
