Chapter 745 - 745 745 The Gray-White Robe-clad Elder

745: Chapter 745: The Gray-White Robe-clad Elder 745: Chapter 745: The Gray-White Robe-clad Elder “This guy is too blunt, isn’t he?”

Could it be that Anthony isn’t afraid that, upon hearing his words, Bai Xiaofan will refuse to cooperate with him?

If Bai Xiaofan was merely surprised, then Feis and the other, were somewhat embarrassed.

The two of them, like Anthony, had come to seek cooperation with Bai Xiaofan.

By now, Bai Xiaofan had laid all his cards on the table and told them everything.

This meant that if the two wanted to cooperate with Bai Xiaofan, they would have to be as open as Anthony.

Otherwise, compared to Anthony, it would directly appear that they lacked sincerity in their cooperation.

In that case, it would be good enough if Bai Xiaofan didn’t cooperate with them; if in a fit of rage, he decided to keep them here permanently, that would be a disastrous loss.

“Cough cough, Mr.

Killer, here’s the situation with me…”

After hesitating a moment, the other also revealed his circumstances.

His situation was actually much like Anthony’s—they were both competing for the right of inheritance!

The only difference was that Anthony was the first candidate for the Clan Leader’s successor, while the other was still struggling in the competition with many strong contenders ahead of him.

Seeing that he had spoken, Feis also hesitated no longer.

However, Feis’s situation was a bit different from theirs.

Anthony and the other were fighting for the family inheritance.

Feis, on the other hand, wanted to rescue his father, Blood Butcher.

His trip to Russia to bid for the Cold Jade Snow Lotus was because of his father.

Three years ago, during Blood Butcher’s training, he was ambushed by enemies and suffered severe injuries.

Since then, he had entrusted most of his affairs to Feis to manage, while he himself had been tirelessly cultivating and recuperating.

He had just started to show signs of improvement when he was ambushed by enemies again!

What was worse, this time Blood Butcher’s personal freedom was controlled by his opponents.

The Cold Jade Snow Lotus was something his adversaries demanded he acquire as a bargaining chip for his father’s release.

That’s why he was so adamant when others competed for his Cold Jade Snow Lotus.

Of course, he did not hope that Bai Xiaofan would return the Cold Jade Snow Lotus; he merely hoped that if Bai Xiaofan could, he would help him rescue his father, Blood Butcher.

Upon hearing the descriptions from these three men, Bai Xiaofan was shocked.

Apart from Feis, the other two were all fighting for family power struggles, for so-called inheritance rights.

It was just like last time with Ji Qiang, who had similarly said this to him, warning him not to go back to the Ji family to dispute the inheritance!

Are relationships within large families really this complicated?

What about simple, unadulterated familial affection?

Is there none of it?

Why does everyone think they can defeat their siblings and inherit the family rights to become the next Clan Leader?

Are fame and power really that important?

Thinking of this, Bai Xiaofan couldn’t help but glance at Ji Han, who had been sitting there silently.

This guy, coming out to search for rare medicine for the old man, probably isn’t just out of filial piety, right?

Suddenly, Bai Xiaofan felt a bit relieved that he had not grown up in the Ji family.

Otherwise, would he, like the people before him today, use all sorts of means for the sake of the family inheritance and the position of Clan Leader?

“Since the three of you have said this, then I hope you can present something compelling.

You know, I’ve always had a taste for the tacky, like valuable medicinal herbs, rare treasures, or lots and lots of money!”

Bai Xiaofan nodded, quietly snatched a cup of wine from Xiao Mei’s hand, drank it down, and then looked up at the three people and said.

Seeing the wine snatched, Xiao Mei fumed and glared at Bai Xiaofan, snatching the wine cup back from his hand and continued to sip quietly.

An hour later, Bai Xiaofan received promises and treasures from the three, and, after a full meal, he left the hotel with Xiao Mei.

Feis and his companion were temporarily accommodated inside the hotel by Anthony.

As for Ji Han, he followed behind Bai Xiaofan and walked out of the hotel together.

“Let’s talk, what exactly is going on?”

Arriving in front of a dilapidated house, Bai Xiaofan turned around and looked at Ji Han who had followed him.

“I won’t hide it from you.

I indeed came to Russia this time to obtain the Cold Jade Snow Lotus, and one reason was indeed to treat my grandfather’s illness.

However, another reason is that a sage approached me, saying that if I could procure this singularly miraculous medicine, he would teach me higher-level techniques!”

“To gain an advantage in the future competition for Clan Leader, I decisively chose to come here.

I am different from Ji Qiang—his position today was entirely achieved through his father’s influence.

I have climbed step by step to where I am today, albeit with my father’s help as well!”

“But more so, it’s through my own efforts, which is why I don’t want to lose to him in the competition for Clan Leader!”

“Moreover, I can be frank with you—if you don’t participate in this competition for Clan Leader, the most likely successors are me and Ji Qiang!”

“Ever since the last time grandfather was here, I have had people secretly investigate you.

I know you might disdain to fight over the Ji family headship.

Whether you are the Blood Butcher or Bai Xiaofan, or even our elder brother, I still want to say, please help me!”

Hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words, Ji Han stared intensely at Bai Xiaofan with a very solemn voice.

The moment his words ceased, Ji Han bent his legs and knelt in front of Bai Xiaofan.

Hearing Ji Han’s words, Bai Xiaofan did not respond immediately but just quietly stared at him, continuing to watch…

Facing Bai Xiaofan’s direct gaze, Ji Han likewise stared back unwaveringly.

“What exactly is the old man’s condition, and when did it start?”

After a long while, Bai Xiaofan took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, took a deep drag, and then, looking at the distant grey sky, he softly asked.

“Grandfather’s illness started three months ago.

That day, after dinner, he suddenly couldn’t stand up.

It was Uncle Army who carried him back to his room.

Uncle Army first examined Grandfather and, finding nothing, began to summon some renowned doctors from the Capital City and internationally famous experts!”

“Although these people managed to make grandfather awake, he was still unable to walk!”

“Eventually, a grey-and-white robe-clad elder came, dripped some medicine into grandfather’s mouth, and then he could walk around, though his body remained somewhat weak…”

Ji Han spoke softly, making sure not to omit a detail.
