Chapter 395: 371: Seems Fake but is Actually Real
“When I heard about you before, I thought you might have been possessed,” he said.
“Because at first glance, you don’t seem to be a person who sacrifices oneself for others or is selfless.”
“While your actions have been witnessed by many and cannot be falsified, it left me confused for a long time.”
“Your words today have cleared up my confusion.”
Huang Fusong looked at Li Fan, nodded slightly, and said: “You, lad, are ruthless!”
Li Fan just smiled and said: “Flattering words, elder! About the compensation, how should it be handled?”
Huang Fusong patted his belly and chuckled: “Aren’t you just trying to find out from me where to go next for the most efficient points? Why make such roundabout tactics?”
With this, he pointed in front of Li Fan.
In a blink of an eye, the construction status of the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array, which covers the vast majority of the Immortal Alliance’s territories, and the related information of Array Masters were densely presented before Li Fan’s eyes.
Not only were the rankings of all Array Masters on the current Grand Competition Gold List marked, but predictions of each contestant’s ability to compete in the future were also clearly indicated.
Huang Fusong proudly said, “This is the top-secret list released yesterday. Although the points will change after a day, it can definitely be used as a reference.”
“Ordinary people can’t get a glimpse of it without paying a price.”
Li Fan skimmed over the names on the list.
A moment later, he slightly frowned.
Seeing Li Fan’s expression, Huang Fusong felt somewhat surprised, “What is it, Li? Are you not satisfied with this?”
“Elder Huang, it seems that some parts are missing from this list,” Li Fan asked with staring eyes.
“Missing? Impossible! I have…”
Before Huang Fusong could finish his rebuttal, Li Fan quickly interrupted, “What about Five Elements Great Cave Heaven?”
Huang Fusong was stunned.
Li Fan did not stop, “Serving as the fuse that led to the Celestial Spirit State War between the Ten Thousand Years League and the Five Elders Organization, it is also a major source of countless supplies within the alliance. Such an important place, how could there be no Tianxuan Spirit Locking Formation set up?”
“And what about the Endless Sea? Countless cultivators dream about this sacred place for cultivation since crossing the sea enables one to directly reach the current realm’s peak. But I did not see it on the list either.”
“Xingshu Yuan, Ji Shi Tian…”
“Although I am not well-versed in the world, I have heard of these regions.”
In order to hide his true objective, Li Fan mentioned many secret and important places.
These were all things that Li Fan knew from browsing secret documents in the past, but he had never actually been to these places.
However, bringing them up now to distract was perfect.
“You sure know a lot, kid,” Huang Fusong said, showing no outward signs of discomfort after being exposed by Li Fan.
After muttering to himself, Huang Fusong said seriously, “To be honest, you also know the importance of these places. It’s simply impossible to let outsiders there freely.”
“Yes, the contribution you get from building arrays in these places is indeed several times that of normal areas.
“But the arrays there are all constructed by specialized personnel. You, a lower generation with no connections or support, want to bluff your way in for points…”
“You’re really thinking too much.”
Huang Fusong shook his head repeatedly, “Look at all the people on the Grand Competition Gold list, who could do this?”
“Aren’t they stronger than you?”
Li Fan didn’t lose heart at Huang Fusong’s denial, but instead, caught onto the essential point.
He seemed to be lost in thought, “Does elder mean that as long as you have connections and support, it’s not impossible to participate in the array construction of these regions?”
Huang Fusong was left speechless by Li Fan’s unusual thinking.
Just as he was about to respond sarcastically, he saw the serious look on Li Fan’s face. Somehow, he suddenly felt startled.
“You kid, do you really have a backer?” Huang Fusong asked suspiciously.
However, Li Fan did not directly answer, but just smiled slightly, “I’m only doing what I can. I might need elder Huang’s assistance with this matter.”
The ambiguity of his words made Huang Fusong even more unsure.
“If things work out, I will contact you again. I hope elder will lend me a helping hand,” Li Fan respectfully said.
Having said that, he was ready to leave the room.
Watching Li Fan’s retreating figure, Huang Fusong was left unsure.
After hesitating for a moment, he couldn’t help but ask, “About Dan Taitao…”
Li Fan didn’t stop but rather disappeared from Huang Fusong’s sight in an instant.
All that was left behind was a faint voice, echoing around the room.
“It was just a joke on my part. Elder has helped me many times. If it is not to your liking, then I will not mention it anymore in the future.”
Watching the direction in which Li Fan disappeared, Huang Fusong looked somewhat puzzled.
With a cold snort, he forcefully closed the room door.
Li Fan, looking as usual, returned to his room.
Whether Dan Taitao and others’ deaths were truly related to Huang Fusong, Li Fan was not sure.
However, when Li Fan initially joked about Dan Taitao, he noticed something unusual in Huang Fusong’s overly-reactive facial expression.
He even felt a hint of killing intent directed at himself.
Even though it was almost imperceptible, Li Fan, who mastered the [Invisible Malice], had a sharp sensibility to killing intent.
He could almost affirm that Huang Fusong indeed had a momentary thought to kill Li Fan.
This aroused Li Fan’s curiosity.
Thus, he continuously brought up Dan Taitao’s death to test Huang Fusong’s limits.
To his surprise, Huang Fusong really became more compliant whenever Li Fan mentioned Dan Taitao.
As a result of this, his attitude towards Li Fan was quite different from that to the other students.
Until today, Huang Fusong’s question.
It affirmed the link between him and the death of Dan Taitao and other students.
It’s unlikely he personally did the killing, as that would have been taken care of long ago.
However, there might be a chance that he revealed information about Dan Taitao and others in the past.
That is why Huang Fusong was somewhat sensitive about the name “Dan Taitao”.
Because he wouldn’t be able to stand up to a serious investigation.
Although times have changed and the names of Dan Taitao and others have been almost forgotten by most people,
Sometimes, Li Fan would still playfully bring it up in front of Huang Fusong, making him somewhat restless.
Naturally, Li Fan understood the principle of not overdoing things.
Since Huang Fusong has made it clear today, he can no longer feign ignorance as before.
The message he conveyed was also clear: you only need to help me one last time.
From then on, I absolutely won’t bring up this matter again.
He had already got enough information from Huang Fusong, pressing him too hard would only make things worse.
Li Fan had no regrets making this declaration.
