Chapter 234: Chapter 234: The Saintess is Quite Soft Too

When Lin Fan stepped into the venue.

Sitting there, a somewhat spaced-out Zhao Jiaqi rolled her eyes.

"You finally deigned to come back!"

This guy had been gone for almost an hour.

If he had something to do, he must have finished it by now.

"What, jealous?"

Lin Fan laughed and leaned back in his chair.

At the same time, his gaze drifted off toward Zhou Bin in the distance.

Upon making eye contact, Zhou Bin hurriedly turned his head away.

Pretending not to see him.

"Nonsense, why would I be jealous of you, you scumbag? Don’t forget, you promised Qi Qi to go back for dinner."

Zhao Jiaqi glared fiercely at Lin Fan and said, "Are you here to tell me you’re not leaving today? Is the Holy Maiden that amusing?"

"At your young age, why don’t you learn to behave? Always spouting such lewd nonsense, aren’t you afraid of not getting married?"

Lin Fan rolled his eyes at her and said, "And don’t look down on people; if I were actually to play around, two hours would be just the warm-up."

"As if bluffing would kill you."

Zhao Jiaqi pouted.

With contempt, she said, "Don’t think I don’t understand you men, always talking big, with just one, two, three falling into line, I can tell you’re all talk, no action."

"Who are you looking down on? Want to try it out? If it’s less than two hours, I’ll do the deed myself."

Lin Fan squinted his eyes, leeringly sizing up Zhao Jiaqi.

And with that comment, she immediately pulled a face and stopped talking.

After all, such things couldn’t really be tested.

"The buyer has already been found; we can go now, and maybe we’ll find the origin of that mysterious symbol."

As he watched item after item being auctioned off.

Lin Fan knew that there wasn’t much worth seeing anymore.

What he cared about most now was where the Li Family got that stuff from.

"Really? Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jiaqi immediately stood up.

She was here to follow the clues as well.

Now that she had the clues, there was no point in staying.

"What’s the rush? We haven’t gotten our money back yet. I can’t just give my wife away for nothing."

Lin Fan chuckled and stood up, walking up to Zhou Bin.

He patted him on the shoulder.

Zhou Bin immediately shuddered.

"Hey, don’t play dead on me. Our bet, are we settling it now? Hand over fifty million."

Lin Fan gestured as if counting money.

"I... I didn’t win that much..."

Zhou Bin’s complexion turned ashen in an instant.

In past schemes, earnings were divided equally among the four parties.

He would earn just a few million.

But now, to cough up fifty million all at once.

It obviously pained him.

"I don’t care how much you’ve won; it’s my win now. If you think of defaulting, I’ll just have to find a witness to collect my money."

Lin Fan crossed his arms, a mischievous grin on his face.

Now, everyone’s gaze towards him was filled with awe.

After all, he had made a bet with the Holy Maiden.

And he had come down from the top floor.

Shutting the door, claiming nothing happened.

No one would believe it.

"Fine, I’ll pay!"

Zhou Bin hurriedly waved his hand.

He now had the backing of the Holy Maiden.

From now on, in Tianku, he could strut around with impunity.

He dared not delay, quickly writing a check for fifty million.

Reluctantly, he handed it over to Lin Fan.

"Then thank you, Mr. Zhou. Remember to include me in the next gambling session."

Lin Fan looked at the check in his hand.

He then patted Zhou Bin on the shoulder, "By the way, I must remind you again, I don’t care whatever grudges the Plum Blossom sects had before, but now Zheng Tianxiang is with me. If I find out you’re setting him up again, I’ll play with you till the end, got it?"

"I remember."

Zhou Bin could only nod forcibly.

The people from the other three sects kept their mouths shut.

Now that Zheng Tianxiang had a backer, they were instantly outmatched.

"That’s better."

Lin Fan smiled, turned around, and walked towards Zheng Tianxiang, who was sitting behind him.

He pressed down on Mr. Zheng, who was about to get up.

He handed the check directly to him.

"Mr. Zheng, I’ve got your lost money back for you. Make sure not to gamble anymore."

"Lin, this money you earned with your skills, how can I take it? Although I’m not from a very prominent family, I do have some savings, but I’ll remember this favor in my heart," said Mr. Zheng, hastily waving his hands.

Fifty million is no small amount.

"Just keep it if I tell you to. None of this nonsense. You did great arranging that bank relation last time, and I might need your help again in the future. Besides, I promised my master never to make a living off gambling, so I can’t spend this money. Just keep it. I’ve got something else to do, so I won’t keep you company. Let’s talk more when we go out."

Lin Fan stuffed the check back to Zheng Tianxiang.

Then, taking Zhou Jiaqi, he headed outside.

"Hey, that fifty million was gotten by using me as the stake. Don’t you think you should discuss with me how to spend it?"

Zhao Jiaqi pouted her lips.

She had been used as collateral just before.

"If you know you’re a stake, you’d better keep quiet, or next time I can’t guarantee I can win you back."

Lin Fan smirked and walked out.

"You filthy rogue, if you dare to gamble me away, my grandfather will definitely skin you alive."

For this guy, who always seemed lecherous, Zhao Jiaqi suddenly felt a bit more intrigued.

If you say he’s a good person, well.

The reprehensible deeds he’s done are countless.

Just her alone, he had nearly touched her all over.

He had also taken his fair share of advantages from Shangguan Min Yue.

But if you say he’s a bad person,

he just gave away fifty million like that.

Facing the aloof and stunning Holy Maiden,

he managed to come away unscathed.

And as for Qi Qi, who threw herself at him, he didn’t lay a hand on her either.

"By the way, the Holy Maiden has agreed as of today to reject all foreign buyers, so from now on, just keep an eye on those guys domestically."

As he walked out of the Holy Maiden Hall, Lin Fan remembered the promise Ni Yan had made just before.

"Really? How could you get such an unsociable woman to change her mind?"

Zhao Jiaqi immediately walked up a few steps quickly.

With a face of disbelief, she looked at Lin Fan.

In her eyes, Ni Yan was a cold-blooded monster.

"Under certain special circumstances, didn’t you change your mind too? And about calling her cold-blooded, I really have to reassess that," Lin Fan paused and continued, "You know, when she learned you were used as collateral, she tried to save you. If you had said you didn’t want to, she would have definitely broken up the gambling agreement forcibly. So it proves she still considers you a friend, or else, if it were anyone else who turned traitor, she would probably have killed them with her whip long ago."

The words from Lin Fan made Zhao Jiaqi stunned.

She had always borne a grudge against her.

But having heard him, it seemed the situation wasn’t as straightforward as it appeared.

"You mean, I was too radical?" Zhao Jiaqi suddenly felt guilty, "Now that you mention it, she has indeed been kind to me and not the heartless person I imagined."

With a roguish smile, Lin Fan looked back towards the summit of the Holy Maiden Hall.

Although he couldn’t see the flowing long dress,

he knew that the ice-cold Holy Maiden was secretly watching his every move.

"I don’t know about her heart, but I know where it needs to be soft, it’s quite soft."
