Fang Chen suddenly remembered that it was You Lan who spread the gimmick of being a genius of the Medicine Immortal lineage. She couldn't have not come into contact with people from the Medicine Immortal lineage. If that's the case, it can only mean that You Lan did it on purpose. But why would You Lan help him?
"Young friend doesn't have to worry about the Shengtian Auction House. They won't have any malicious intentions towards you." The ancestor of the Wan family seemed to have seen through what Fang Chen was thinking. After saying that, he drank tea on his own.
Fang Chen frowned. It was understandable that the ancestor of the Wan family could guess what he was thinking. After all, a mysterious and highly skilled person suddenly appeared in Sifang City. As the number one big family here, even the Shengtian Auction House must give some face. Thinking of this, Fang Chen couldn't help but wonder, "Why is senior so sure?"
"Knowing now won't do you any good." The ancestor of the Wan family said indifferently. "You just need to know that both the Shengtian Auction House and my Wan family won't have any malicious intentions towards you."
Seeing Fang Chen's frown still not unfurling, the ancestor of the Wan family continued, "Young friend can rest assured. I won't ask your name, who your master is, where you come from, or where you are going. Similarly, I won't tell you my name either. Moreover, in the future, as long as young friend needs help within the scope of Sifang City, I will definitely do my best to help."
After saying that, the ancestor of the Wan family took out a jade pendant from his bosom and handed it to Fang Chen. "This jade pendant was obtained by me accidentally back then. Today I give it to young friend. If young friend encounters danger near Sifang City, as long as you inject profound energy into it, I will immediately rush over."
Fang Chen looked up at the ancestor of the Wan family and took the jade pendant with a light smile. "Then I thank senior."
"The Mangqing Battlefield will open in seven days. Is young friend going?" The ancestor of the Wan family drank tea and seemed to casually mention it as if it was an offhand remark.
"Mangqing Battlefield?" Hearing this, Fang Chen was stunned and couldn't help murmuring. Isn't the Mangqing Battlefield supposed to open in half a year? Why is it opening now?
Your rebirth in this life has changed the trajectory of many things. As time passes, more and more things will change... Remembering what the spirit of the artifact had said before, Fang Chen suddenly realized that his rebirth this time has indeed changed many things. For example, in his previous life, he had never been to Sifang City, but in this life, he has come. For example, the Guiyuan Sword, for example, the Wan family...
It seems that we need to speed up. In this life, I will never let tragedies happen again! Thinking of this, Fang Chen forced himself to calm down and said softly, "Naturally, I will go."
"Not bad. Young people should go through as many experiences as possible so that they can grow quickly. Moreover, the Mangqing Battlefield is an ancient battlefield. The rare natural treasures and the treasures left by ancient powerhouses in it are all great opportunities."
In his previous life, Fang Chen had also entered the Mangqing Battlefield. But except for the Soul Suppressing Stone, he didn't obtain anything else. Listening to the tone of the ancestor of the Wan family, he should be very familiar with the Mangqing Battlefield. "I don't know if senior can tell me about the situation of the Mangqing Battlefield?"
"The Mangqing Battlefield..." The ancestor of the Wan family murmured softly, his tone full of reminiscence.
In ancient times, spirit beasts and ordinary beasts all occupied the Mangqing Mountain Range that spread across the entire northwest of the Cangqing Continent. They had always been at peace with the human race. Until one day, for some reason, a beast tide suddenly broke out in the deep part of the Mangqing Mountain Range near the north. In an instant, whether it was spirit beasts or ordinary beasts, they all went crazy and attacked the human race everywhere.
At the same time, news came from the Beast Taming Sect deep in the Mangqing Mountain Range. It was said that the middle and deep parts of the mountain range had been polluted, which led to this beast tide. So the entire human race united and wanted to repel the beast tide. But for some reason, whether it was spirit beasts or ordinary beasts, they were extremely fierce and fearless of death.
The human race suffered heavy casualties, but the beast tide didn't weaken at all. Until later, seven of the strongest people of the human race rushed to the Mangqing Mountain Range together. That battle was extremely fierce, making the sky dim and the sun and moon lose their light. In the end, the human race sealed the polluted mountain range at the cost of the lives of five of the strongest people. Later, for some unknown reason, that sealed section of the mountain range became the current Mangqing Battlefield.
After listening to this secret told by the ancestor of the Wan family, Fang Chen was shocked. The mountain range was polluted, and five of the seven strongest people of the human race died. Such a price could only seal but not completely eliminate it. What kind of thing could have such great power?
Forget it. What should be known will always be known. The most important thing now is still to improve one's strength. After Fang Chen reorganized his mood, he drank up the tea in his cup in one gulp. "Thank you, senior, for telling me."
"Young friend is being polite. I have something I want to discuss with young friend."
"Senior, please speak."
"My granddaughter Wan Yuxuan. Presumably young friend has already met her. How about letting her accompany you on this trip to the Mangqing Battlefield?"
Hearing this, Fang Chen stared directly at the ancestor of the Wan family. For a long time, he couldn't see anything. Although having someone accompany you when entering the Mangqing Battlefield can help each other and there are benefits. But with his current identity and the things he has planned to do for so long, having someone by his side is really too inconvenient. Thinking of this, Fang Chen chuckled and said, "My strength is low. I'm afraid I will drag down Miss Wan. As for traveling together, let's forget it."
"Young friend is a genius who is only one step away from stepping into the Xuan Wang realm at a young age. How can there be any talk of dragging down? Moreover, the Mangqing Battlefield is not far from Sifang City. Having Yuxuan accompany you can also avoid many troubles." The ancestor of the Wan family looked at Fang Chen meaningfully and said.
"Then as senior wishes." Fang Chen, who originally wanted to pull the Wan family as an ally, agreed when he saw that the ancestor of the Wan family had said so. At first, he refused purely because he was afraid of bringing trouble to the Wan family. Since the ancestor of the Wan family wasn't afraid, he had even less reason to be afraid. Besides, at worst, he could find an excuse to send her away later and come back to find her after finishing his business.
Thinking of this, Fang Chen couldn't help but think of that Wan Yuxuan in red clothes, with heroic spirit between her eyebrows, always revealing a look of not being inferior to men at all times, and being speechless in front of him time and time again.
Seeing the smile gradually rising at the corner of Fang Chen's mouth, the ancestor of the Wan family couldn't help but laugh loudly. "Hahaha, I'm tired. Young friend, go back and rest first. When it's time to depart, Yuxuan will naturally find you."
After saying goodbye to the ancestor of the Wan family and returning to his residence, Fang Chen stood by the window and looked at the huge Wan family mansion outside. He couldn't help but be a little puzzled. From the very beginning, the ancestor of the Wan family had been trying to distance the Wan family. He negotiated with me in his own identity and clearly didn't want the Wan family to get involved. But why did he propose to let Wan Yuxuan accompany me in the end?
