Chapter 230: Chapter 230: I Want Her, Just Like a Breeze in Spring

"Lin Fan, have you lost your mind? Do you think this is a place to joke around?"

Watching Ni Yan step by step into the midst of the auction items.

Zhao Jiaqi really wanted to strangle this guy.

"You care so much about whether I live or die. Could it be that you’ve fallen for me?"

Lin Fan, arms crossed, suddenly turned around.

He gave Zhao Jiaqi a mischievous grin.

"Nonsense. Even if you were the last man on earth, I’d rather use a banana than be with you."

Zhao Jiaqi glared at Lin Fan with furious eyes.

This guy was still so calm and collected at a time like this.

"A banana has no warmth. Besides, wagering a life for a fleeting moment of the saintess’s favor, how profitable that is."

Lin Fan watched Ni Yan, who was hesitating, with a rascal smile.

"Do you really think you even stand a chance? If she didn’t have full confidence, why would she agree to a bet with you?"

Zhao Jiaqi rolled her eyes.

It was just like rock-paper-scissors.

It looks like it depends on skill, but if you let someone go first,

you’d never win in your lifetime.

"If I didn’t have full confidence, would I risk my life?"

Lin Fan rubbed his nose.

He wasn’t foolish enough to just throw his life away.

"I think you’re just a horny ghost—whoever looks pretty makes you weak at the knees. You think with your lower half—a truly bad batch in eight lifetimes for anyone who fancies you. I don’t know what potion Mr. Zhou drank to think you are a good person. I say you’re just a breeding pig!"

Now, with life and death at stake, Zhao Jiaqi furiously cursed in the streets.

As for Zheng Tianxiang, he was speechless.

After all, this was a high-end circle.

A fallen descendant of the five channels.

He had no place in this realm.

"Hey, you just said that the Sky Cave has its own rules, still, you connected with foreign buyers to sell off the artifacts."

Lin Fan suddenly wrapped his arm around Zhao Jiaqi’s fragrant shoulders.

Lowering his voice, he stared straight into her eyes.

"So what? What does that have to do with this matter?"

Zhao Jiaqi glared at Lin Fan, fuming.

"Just with your report, can you eradicate this malpractice? But if it’s ordered by the saintess, who would dare conspire with external forces then?"

Lin Fan smiled and winked.

With one sentence, Zhao Jiaqi was frozen in place.

As she slowly came to her senses, she stared at Lin Fan in astonishment.

"You... your meaning... is... you are here to stop the theft of cultural artifacts?"

"Obviously. Now, the people in Sky Cave are starting to watch you. Where else would you investigate the problem? So, to solve a problem, just deal with the person creating the problem. If you can’t eliminate her directly, then choose a method to restrict her."

Lin Fan smiled confidently.

Although from the moment he entered, he seemed unconcerned,

his mind was always occupied with thought.

But those weren’t something Zhao Jiaqi could understand.

"So, sleep with her, make her your woman... and then control her? And eventually control the entire Sky Cave?"

Zhao Jiaqi tried to follow Lin Fan’s train of thought.

"Are you sick? Is she going to obey just because of one night? Do you think I am using a remote control?"

Lin Fan gave her a knock on the head: "Besides, if I’m not mistaken, the reason the saintess can succeed is because she has to maintain a Pure Yin Body. If she loses her virginity, it’s akin to breaking her practice, which is why she’s trained to be cold and unemotional, like a machine without feelings."

"So, you want to use sleeping with her as a threat!"

Zhao Jiaqi rubbed her head, finally catching on.

Her attitude towards Lin Fan suddenly improved a lot.

After all, for years, she had been dedicating herself to combating the theft of cultural artifacts.

But it’s like pouring water into a sieve forever.

"That’s right, if it were you, would you choose to discard your skills, or would you prefer to make a rule that won’t have much impact?"

Lin Fan squinted, carefully watching every move of Ni Yan.

He saw her stop at a particular display booth.

A smile then crossed his face.

"But Ni Yan is a saintess, she knows all the skills of the five meridians. With such a strict condition of yours, isn’t that just sending her to her death? You’ve blocked all your chances of winning by challenging her judgement, it’s simply suicidal,"

Zhao Jiaqi pursed her lips, watching Ni Yan pick up the Warring States treasure sword.

Now, the outcome was already sealed.

"That’s not necessarily true. If she really was that powerful, why would she need people from the five meridians as vanguards? What seems like a test might rather be a safeguard she bought for herself, something Mr. Zheng reminded me of. It seems that not only the Zheng family has lost their heritage."

Lin Fan confidently watched Ni Yan returning.

This time, I’ll definitely play you to your demise.

"Kid, the saintess has made her choice; now it’s your turn!"

Zhou Bin observed Ni Yan holding the Warring States king sword.

This sword, after all, was hardly inferior to the excavated Gou Jian Sword.

Whether in terms of material or era.

It was a treasure among the auction items.

"There’s not just the wager between her and me, but our wager is still on too. Go and pick what you think is the best item from the collection,"

Lin Fan didn’t move, merely watching Zhou Bin with amusement.

A sentence made him freeze for a moment, but he soon laughed.

"I too believe the Warring States king sword in the hands of the saintess is a treasure of this auction. How about it, if you have the skills, find something that can surpass mine."

"Are you shameless, picking the ready-made!"

Zhao Jiaqi glared at Zhou Bin angrily.

The final result was to be decided by the saintess.

Since she went to personally select, she obviously believed the king sword was the best rated.

Zhou Bin directly picking the ready-made was just despicable.

"When the bet was placed, no one said you couldn’t choose this way. Of course, you can also pick this item as your choice. Although we might end in a tie, you would have to lose your life to the saintess,"

Zhou Bin held his arms, looking smug.

Without Lin Fan’s protection,

Zhao Jiaqi would be easy prey for him.

So either way, he remained invincible.

And this time, Lin Fan truly was doomed.

"Alright, I’ll ask again, are you two certain? If you’ve decided, then I’ll make my choice,"

Lin Fan, with hands in his pockets, smiled watching the two.

"Go ahead, I want to see what treasure you can find,"

Ni Yan stood there, cold as ice.

From the beginning, she felt that Lin Fan would never do anything recklessly.

Thus, she meticulously inspected all items,

fearing any oversight.

But after three rounds, apart from the three treasures Zhao Jiaqi spoke of,

she truly found no other items of comparable value.

Although she was full of doubts, ultimately she chose the most valuable Warring States king sword.

"The Warring States king sword is certainly good, it’s feared even the Gou Jian Sword wouldn’t surpass it, but don’t forget, what you hold is ultimately just a mundane object, today you’ll see something eye-opening,"

Lin Fan said and walked directly into the auction items.

Under everyone’s gaze, he surprisingly picked up another unassuming sword.

The blade was covered in rust, looking like scrap metal.

Yet he held it in his hand proudly.

"I choose this one!"
