837: Chapter 837: An Excellent Opportunity 837: Chapter 837: An Excellent Opportunity “Follow your orders?

I don’t want to die yet.

That bastard Ding Qiu is vengeful.

If he finds out I betrayed him, he’ll definitely kill me!”

Upon hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words, Li San hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

His fear of Ding Qiu still outweighed everything else.

Over the years, he had come to understand Ding Qiu far too well.

Back when his own cultivation had stagnated at the late Nascent Soul stage, if not for the fact that his subordinates were all nurtured by him, Ding Qiu might already have killed him.

Moreover, at that time Ding Qiu was already at odds with Wan Laosan and needed an ally.

“If you refuse, I can kill you right now!”

Bai Xiaofan stood up as he spoke, pulled out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, took a drag, and continued.

“And after all these years, are you really willing to keep being Ding Qiu’s dog, living in the shadows, without anyone knowing your existence, hidden away like this?”

Bai Xiaofan’s words were blunt, cutting straight to the chase without any wasted breath.

Sure enough, upon hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words, Li San wavered.

Yes, he had joined the sect alongside Ding Qiu back in the day, but now, how many people even remembered who Li San was?

Even remaining eternally at the late Nascent Soul stage, in any other sect, he would have still commanded great respect.

But now?

He and his subordinates had to seclude themselves within the ravine for daily cultivation.

He couldn’t even leave the Wan Poison Sect without first getting Ding Qiu’s approval!

Only with Ding Qiu’s permission was he allowed to step outside!

“What can I do?

My cultivation is only at the late Nascent Soul stage.

If I were to face Xiao Mei one-on-one, I might not even be able to beat her!”

Li San lifted his head, looked at Bai Xiaofan in front of him, and voiced his doubts.

“Heh, it’s quite simple.

I can help you break through in cultivation.

Your stalemate at the late Nascent Soul stage wasn’t due to lack of talent—it’s because your Dantian was sealed using drugs.

Have you not noticed that the processing speed of your Dantian is much slower than that of a typical late Nascent Soul cultivator?”

Bai Xiaofan smiled lightly.

Since he wanted Li San to join him, he naturally had full confidence.

“My Dantian was sealed with drugs?

It’s Ding Qiu, it has to be him—damn it, Ding Qiu, you’re treacherous!”

Li San completely ignored everything else Bai Xiaofan said after hearing this—he zeroed in on the fact that his cultivation delay wasn’t due to talent deficiency, but because of sabotage.

The only ones capable of undermining him like this were Wan Laosan and Ding Qiu.

Taking into account Ding Qiu’s behavior, there was no doubt in his mind—it was definitely Ding Qiu who had harmed him.

After that, Bai Xiaofan used the Golden Needle to completely unblock the seal on his Dantian.

In an instant, Li San felt that the processing speed of his Dantian increased markedly, and hope blossomed in his heart once more.

“Are you not afraid I’ll betray you?”

Li San slowly stood up and gazed at Bai Xiaofan in front of him.

“Afraid?

Of course I’m afraid.

That’s why you’ll sign a master-servant contract with me.

If you even think of betraying me, I can kill you instantly!”

A playful curve appeared at Bai Xiaofan’s lips.

Before he finished speaking, his palm pressed down on Li San’s forehead.

A moment later, a faint glimmer of light flew into Li San’s mind.

“Li San pays respect to his master!”

Looking at Bai Xiaofan, who stood with hands clasped behind his back, Li San hesitated for a moment before kneeling respectfully.

“Excellent.

You may leave now.

Xiao Mei and I will personally visit Wan Poison Sect in the future!”

Bai Xiaofan nodded and waved, motioning for Li San to depart.

After Li San left, Bai Xiaofan staggered slightly and nearly collapsed onto the ground.

“Are you alright?”

Xiao Mei rushed to support Bai Xiaofan, asking worriedly.

“I’m fine, just drained some immortal energy while forming the contract with Li San.”

Bai Xiaofan shook his head and walked out of the courtyard with Xiao Mei.

Already injured, signing the contract was another drain on his immortal energy—it was no surprise Bai Xiaofan nearly fainted.

“Why do you think Ding Qiu left?

This would’ve been the perfect chance for him to capture me and bring me back!”

As Xiao Mei supported Bai Xiaofan, she asked with confusion.

From what Li San said, she couldn’t make sense of it.

Knowing Ding Qiu as well as she did, that old guy would never give up this opportunity.

“Look, here’s your answer!”

Bai Xiaofan pointed in front of them at a man who had suddenly appeared.

Xiao Mei followed Bai Xiaofan’s gaze and saw a young one-armed man standing ahead.

The newcomer was none other than Little Wolf!

The three didn’t exchange many words.

Little Wolf merely informed Bai Xiaofan that Ding Qiu had returned to Wan Poison Sect and wouldn’t appear again for the time being, assuring him it was safe now.

It turned out Little Wolf, under Wu Lao’s directive, had called Ding Qiu.

The phone call was straightforward—simply letting Ding Qiu know Bai Xiaofan and Xiao Mei would be arriving, and that Bai Xiaofan was Wu Lao’s target.

That was all!

On the way back to Xiao Mei’s home, Bai Xiaofan couldn’t help but feel astonished.

Although he was already aware of Wu Lao’s immense influence, he hadn’t expected that one phone call was enough to make a sect leader like Ding Qiu capitulate.

Furthermore, giving up something that was incredibly important to him!

Once back at the Xiao household, Xiao Dahai and Li Yufen had already returned from grocery shopping and were busy cooking in the kitchen.

After hearing about what happened with Bai Xiaofan and Li San, Xiao Mei couldn’t help but glance at her parents with an odd expression.

“If you keep staring like that, your parents will notice, and they’ll feel awkward!”

Bai Xiaofan said softly to Xiao Mei while munching on fruit.

“Ugh, it’s all your fault!

If you hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t even know!”

Xiao Mei glared at Bai Xiaofan, but her annoyance quickly turned into playful banter.

With Ding Qiu dealt with for now, Xiao Mei’s mood had noticeably improved, and her next move was to frolic with Bai Xiaofan despite her parents being in the kitchen.

During dinner, the four of them shared a bit of wine.

But when it came time for bed, a dilemma arose.

Should Bai Xiaofan sleep in the guest room or share Xiao Mei’s room?

Xiao Dahai and Li Yufen had no objections—since the two were together, why bother maintaining pretense?

They suggested Xiao Mei’s room.

Of course, Bai Xiaofan eagerly agreed.

But Xiao Mei refused.

Although they’d shared more intimate moments in the past, those incidents were forced by circumstances, without conscious intent.

Now was different—both had a bit of budding affection for each other.
