“A map? What map? What era do you think this is? Believing in that stuff is still better than getting some real gold and silver!”
Ye Fan was startled upon hearing Five Poisons Child’s words!
It seemed that even the Five Poisons Child knew about the Ye Family’s map!
“Brother, have you ever heard of Martial Arts? It’s said that inside the treasure trove, there are a lot of Martial Arts Techniques, and the gold and silver there are a million times more than what you’ve seen… If one could get that map, any family could become the strongest family in the world…”
The Five Poisons Child continued to dupe Ye Fan, not knowing that actually, everything was under Ye Fan’s control.
“Is it really that powerful? But I’ve never seen that map, and I don’t know what it looks like… If I knew what it looked like, as long as it’s in this villa, I’m sure I could find it…” Ye Fan was just testing the waters, thinking it wouldn’t hurt to take a stab in the dark.
Unexpectedly, the Five Poisons Child actually took out a piece of the map fragment from his bosom and handed it to Ye Fan, saying, “Brother, meeting you is fate! Look, this is the kind of map. I only have one fragment here, familiarize yourself with it! Later, when we find the other fragments, we can split the good stuff we find fifty-fifty!”
The Five Poisons Child explained to Ye Fan with a fake smile, while a sinister expression flickered at the corner of his mouth.
The guy in front of him looked foolish enough. Though he might have some skill in thieving, how could there be a share for Ye Fan once the things were in hand?
And since Ye Fan had stumbled upon his actions today, the Five Poisons Child had no intention of sparing Ye Fan’s life.
Well, let him serve as fertilizer for his Gu Worm!
“Oh! Is this the map then, it actually looks proper!” Ye Fan responded and took the map fragment in his hand to feel it; indeed, there was an ancient aura fluctuating, similar to the two pieces he already had.
So it turned out, aside from the seven map fragments of the Ye Family, there were other fragments out there as well.
“I had no idea this was a treasure, brother… Haha, I also picked up two pieces elsewhere, almost threw them away like trash, do they look the same?” Ye Fan chuckled wickedly, and while talking, he took out the other two map fragments he had on him, one of which he obtained from Qiu Wan, and the other was given by Liu Hao.
My goodness!
Seeing the two map fragments in Ye Fan’s hands, the Five Poisons Child’s eyes nearly lit up!
Damn!
He had endured hardships for most of his life, using countless schemes, and it was not until recently that he managed to get one map fragment.
And the “thief” in front of him actually had two pieces all of a sudden?
Was this a gift from heaven, sending such a big piece of fat meat right to his lips?
No, that won’t do!
He must seize the items in this guy’s hands today, they were “stolen” anyway!
“Brother, you’re impressive, let me have a look!” Five Poisons Child said, reaching out to take the two map fragments from Ye Fan’s hands to inspect them, but Ye Fan suddenly withdrew his wrist, “Just look from there!”
The Five Poisons Child’s mouth twitched, inwardly he remarked, still very cautious!
Humph!
“But to an extraordinary person like myself, you’re just transparent trash!”
“Crushing you is as easy as crushing an ant, what’s there to boast about?”
If it weren’t for wanting to use Ye Fan’s hands to further obtain the map from Qiu Wan’s side, Five Poisons Child would already be eager to take Ye Fan’s life. What he didn’t know was that the map from Qiu Wan’s hands had long been on Ye Fan.
Five Poisons Child was fantasizing about having one map in his possession, adding the two from Ye Fan’s hands, and if he could find the map from Qiu Wan’s side as well, then he would have all four pieces. By then, the complete map would nearly be formed, and he would be the first to enter that secret realm. To learn all those cultivation techniques, martial arts techniques—who else in the world would be his opponent?
Just as Five Poisons Child had clearly seen the genuine articles in Ye Fan’s hands, Ye Fan abruptly tucked the map pieces away and slipped them into his chest.
Along with the ones he had put away was the piece that Five Poisons Child had just shown to Ye Fan!
“Brother, did you forget something? It’s fine that you put away your own map, but can you give me back my piece?” Five Poisons Child’s face twitched twice as he extended his hand toward Ye Fan.
Ye Fan’s face turned severe as he spoke, “Your map? What map of yours… I don’t recall you having any map.”
Tonight, Ye Fan came out specifically to deal with Five Poisons Child, yet he hadn’t anticipated the unexpected windfall from Five Poisons Child.
“Brother, that’s not very righteous of you! The three map pieces you put away—two are yours… and one is mine that I gave you, don’t you remember?” Five Poisons Child explained patiently to Ye Fan, already starting to feel his blood boil.
Ye Fan shook his head, “Did you give me a map just now? I don’t remember it at all… And besides, brother, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can’t speak carelessly! You say I have your map, why don’t you call it out and see if it responds? If it does, it’s yours!”
“…” Ye Fan’s words left Five Poisons Child speechless, his complexion thoroughly darkened, “Kid, what are you trying to imply? Want to welsh on the deal? You must be confused about where you are.”
Five Poisons Child’s entire body was seething with martial arts qi, his inner turmoil rising!
Damn it, had he overeaten or what? A grandmaster of the Grandmaster Realm and a martial arts expert, actually having to explain himself to a thief?
“Ha ha! Brother, you jest. Something just came up at home, so I have to go!” A hint of a smile appeared on Ye Fan’s lips as he suddenly pushed off with his ankle and dashed towards the villa’s exterior.
Dealing with Five Poisons Child was a piece of cake for Ye Fan.
Yet Ye Fan wasn’t keen on letting Five Poisons Child die in Qiu Wan’s villa, to avoid dirtying the place.
“Bastard! Thinking you can run… in your dreams! Laotzu was just worrying about not having a reason to kill you, but you’ve brought this on yourself!” Seeing Ye Fan actually attempting to leave, Five Poisons Child immediately went berserk, speeding after Ye Fan.
Ye Fan, running ahead, kept his pace steady—neither allowing Five Poisons Child to easily catch up nor to lag behind. After a few minutes, he lured Five Poisons Child into a dead-end street, and only then did Ye Fan stop.
“Run, run, you bastard! Keep running! Let’s see where you can go? Huff! Huff!” Five Poisons Child, who had chased breathlessly, hadn’t realized something was very wrong with Ye Fan.
Five Poisons Child, with the power of the Grandmaster Realm, was gasping after chasing Ye Fan while Ye Fan seemed effortlessly relaxed!
This fully indicated that Ye Fan was no ordinary person!
However, at this moment, Five Poisons Child was so preoccupied with the three map pieces that he thought he could easily handle Ye Fan and hence hadn’t thought it through!
Seeing Five Poisons Child draw his battle saber, Ye Fan began to speak fearfully, “Big brother… let’s talk this over, don’t scare me, okay? I’ll give you everything, alright? I’m really scared to death!”
