Chapter 399: Chapter 399 Miss Hua’s Reminder_1

Next, Ning Fan used the Spiritual Liquid at several other stalls and managed to trade for a few hundred-year-old Lingzhi, He Shou Wu, Snow Lotus, and other rarely seen medicinal herbs.

These old herbs were something no amount of money could buy outside.

However, the Jade Marrow Mushroom, Ice-Fire Snow Lotus, and Sea Spirit Fruit, the three types of herbs required for refining Foundation Establishment Pills, were nowhere to be found.

As Ning Fan acquired several old herbs with the Spiritual Liquid, the miraculous nature of it began to spread among a small circle at the exchange event.

In a corner, the few stall owners who had first traded herbs with Ning Fan secretly gathered together.

Among them was the stall owner named He Feng.

"This kid seems to really have a lot of Spiritual Liquid on him... With such a fat sheep right before us, do you really want to give up?"

"I never said I’d give up. I just tried a drop of the Spiritual Liquid, and I nearly broke through! If I can get a few more bottles to use during closed-door cultivation, I might advance by leaps and bounds and even rise three levels, then go back and marry the sect leader’s daughter!"

"But we’ve already traded all our old herbs to the kid..."

"If we have no old herbs left, who says we can’t rob him?"

"Heh heh, this is a fat sheep that’s fallen from the sky. If heaven gives us a gift and we refuse to take it, we’ll surely suffer the consequences!"

After a chilling discussion, four of them turned and walked out of the estate, while He Feng strode up behind Ning Fan and tapped him on the shoulder.

"Young Brother Ning."

"It’s you? What’s up, did you get hold of other old herbs?" Ning Fan turned and asked.

"Here’s the thing, I have a few friends who still have some old herbs in their possession, all four or five hundred years old... But they don’t want to make the trade here because of the crowd and prying eyes. They’re afraid someone might get greedy, after all, it’s best not to flaunt wealth..."

He Feng whispered.

"Where do they want to make the trade?" Ning Fan asked.

"In a small grove outside the estate. I’ll go ahead and wait for you at the estate gate. If you want to make the trade, come find me."

After saying that, He Feng walked out.

Ning Fan wandered around the plaza a while longer but didn’t see anyone displaying the Jade Marrow Mushroom, Ice-Fire Snow Lotus, or Sea Spirit Fruit. He then decided to take Xu Yourong and go check it out.

They had hardly taken two steps when the young lady in the yellow dress, Miss Hua, blocked their way.

"Miss Hua, do you need something from me?" Ning Fan frowned and said.

"Young Brother Ning, if you’re willing to change your mind now, dump this girlfriend of yours and come with me, I’ll tell you a piece of information that could save your life! Otherwise, you’re a dead man!"

Miss Hua’s lips curled into a playful smile, but her words weren’t the least bit amusing.

"I’m not interested in your information, please step aside," Ning Fan said bluntly.

How could he be gracious to her when Miss Hua had bluntly asked him to dump Xu Yourong?

"You!"

Completely taken aback by Ning Fan’s discourteous response, Miss Hua stomped her foot and said with a cold laugh, "Ning Fan, if you don’t listen to my information, you’re definitely going to die! Are you really willing to throw away your life for this woman?"

"First, even without your information, I won’t die; second, even if there is truly a risk to my life, I would never betray my girlfriend."

After saying this, Ning Fan no longer paid attention to Miss Hua. Taking Xu Yourong by the hand, they bypassed her and made their way toward the estate’s exterior.

"Ning Fan, what did Miss Hua mean just now? Was she warning you about danger?"

After passing Miss Hua, Xu Yourong whispered a reminder to Ning Fan.

"There’s no need for her reminder; I’m already aware He Feng is suspicious," Ning Fan calmly said.

"Ah? Then you know he’s plotting something, and you’re still going?" Xu Yourong exclaimed in surprise.

"It doesn’t matter. In the face of absolute strength, plots and tricks are useless. Rather than letting a villain like him lurk in the shadows, I’d rather face him head on and deal with the problem directly," Ning Fan reassured her.

Seeing Ning Fan full of confidence, Xu Yourong relaxed as well. Her eyes twinkled, and she suddenly said, "Well... regardless, you should still be thankful to Miss Hua, after all, she did come with good intentions to warn you."

"Given that she asked me to leave you, I couldn’t possibly thank her," Ning Fan shook his head.

"Whether you thank her or not, I’m grateful to her. After all, she did warn you," Xu Yourong insisted, shaking her head, a smile hiding not so secretly in her eyes.

...

"Hmph, Ning Fan, you’re snubbing the face given to you, then go ahead and die!"

"Do you actually think that just because I took an interest in you, you can put on airs in front of me? When I see you dying later, I wonder if you’ll continue to act so smugly?"

"By that time, I want you to dump your girlfriend with your own words, then kneel before me and beg for my help!"

After Ning Fan and Xu Yourong had walked some distance away, Miss Hua’s lovely face turned icy. She muttered to herself for a moment, hesitated, but finally stomped her foot and headed toward the exterior of the estate as well.

...

It didn’t take long for Ning Fan and Xu Yourong to reach the main entrance of the estate where they met with He Feng.

He Feng led them along a secluded path for a while until they arrived at a small grove.

"We should be there, right?"

Ning Fan, holding Xu Yourong’s hand, stopped and didn’t go any further.

With his senses far superior to the ordinary, he could tell that four or five people were hiding here.

And on these people, there was a killing intent!

"Heh heh, we’ve arrived,"

He Feng smiled faintly, turned to face Ning Fan, and clapped his hands.
