Chapter 788 - 788: The Fourth Fragment
So all of her charms were seen thoroughly by Li Qianfan, making him start to feel itchy inside.
“Did you come here just for an eye feast?” Jiang WanYun said displeased.
“No no no, I have serious matters.” Li Qianfan spoke.
“Serious matters?”
Jiang WanYun showed a puzzled expression.
Li Qianfan looked at Jiang Xuehan and said, “Xuehan, do you remember injuring a man at the second level of the Qi Refining Realm in the antique market before?”
“What, is he your subordinate?” Jiang Xuehan asked angrily.
“He’s not my subordinate, and I’m not too familiar with him… Relax, I’m not here for revenge on his behalf. I’m just very curious about what you two were struggling for at the time.”
Li Qianfan paused before continuing, “He told me that you two had a conflict over an unusual Jade Fragment. That Jade Fragment should now be in your Storage Ring, right?”
“You want to steal my stuff?” Jiang Xuehan became even angrier.
“You are now our prisoner, and everything on you is our spoils of war. It’s out of courtesy that I didn’t just take your Storage Ring, so you better cooperate.” Li Qianfan said seriously.
Jiang Xuehan was so furious that she almost crushed her teeth, but there was nothing she could do.
After holding it in for a long time, Jiang Xuehan finally said, “Loosen my right hand a bit, I’ll take it out for you.”
“No problem, but you better not pull any tricks. Sister Jiang is a mid-stage cultivator of the Foundation Establishment Realm. If you dare to make a wrong move, she will make you regret it.” Li Qianfan warned.
Then Li Qianfan went over and squatted in front of Jiang Xuehan, loosening her right hand slightly.
With a snap of her fingers, a Jade Fragment fell to the ground out of thin air.
Li Qianfan quickly re-tied Jiang Xuehan’s hand and then eagerly picked up the Jade Fragment from the ground to examine it.
Before long, Li Qianfan’s face showed ecstatic joy!
For this Jade Fragment was indeed the Heavenly Spirit Vase Fragment he had been coveting!
There are a total of five fragments of the Heavenly Spirit Vase, and with this one, Li Qianfan had already collected four!
Only one more and he could completely restore the Heavenly Spirit Vase!
“What is this?” Jiang WanYun asked curiously.
“It’s nothing, nothing…”
Li Qianfan mumbled and quickly stuffed the Heavenly Spirit Vase Fragment into his Storage Ring.
Jiang WanYun raised her eyebrows and said, “That Jade Fragment must be no simple thing; otherwise, you wouldn’t be so excited. Come clean, what exactly is it?”
“Ah, stop asking, can you leave me some privacy?” Li Qianfan said.
Jiang Xuehan also asked, “Do you know what this Jade Fragment is? I just felt it was extraordinary, which is why I snatched it, but I’ve studied it for several days and couldn’t figure it out.”
“I’m not telling you.” Li Qianfan said.
Jiang Xuehan was so frustrated she felt breathless, her teeth gnashing loudly.
If possible, she really wished she could transform into a fierce tiger and pounce on Li Qianfan to bite him to death!
“It’s getting late, Qianfan, go call Liu Ruyan and Ah Hua, we’ll set off right now.” Jiang WanYun said.
“Don’t you need to bring your two subordinates?” Li Qianfan asked.
Jiang WanYun had subordinates too, one was Zhou Dong, and the other Li Dongmei.
Especially Li Dongmei, Li Qianfan had a strong impression of that fiery short-haired woman.
“No need, more people does not necessarily mean better.” Jiang WanYun shook her head.
“Alright.”
Li Qianfan thus turned and walked outside to call Liu Ruyan and Ah Hua.
However, just as Li Qianfan had left the room, a loud bang suddenly erupted from within, startling him.
At the same time, a thick cloud of deep purple smoke billowed out of the room, making him dizzy and blurring his vision after just one breath.
“Be careful!” Li Qianfan shouted.
A gust of wind burst forth in the room, mixed with intense fluctuations of True Qi.
Thus, the thick purple smoke was blown away by the gale and sprayed out of the villa through the windows.
Li Qianfan circulated his True Qi, which made him feel much better, and the smoke in the room finally cleared.
Then Li Qianfan saw that only Jiang WanYun remained in the room—the firmly roped Jiang Xuehan had vanished without a trace!
“Where is she?” Li Qianfan asked.
“She was rescued!”
Jiang WanYun said angrily.
In Da’an City, between towering buildings, two figures were rushing and jumping about.
Jiang Xuehan was held under the armpit by a mature and glamorous woman, with the wind blowing her hair wildly in the breeze.
“How did you get caught?” the mature and glamorous woman asked.
“They are from the Cultivator Administration Bureau, but I didn’t know at the start. I had a dispute with them during last night’s auction, and then I went to confront them to vent my anger, and as a result…” Jiang Xuehan said with a face full of guilt.
“You were too reckless, junior sister,” the mature woman said.
This mature and glamorous woman was Jiang Xuehan’s senior sister, Zhao Xiangmei.
“Luckily, you sent me a Communication Talisman before you acted, otherwise I would have had no clue about your trouble,” Zhao Xiangmei added.
“I’m sorry, senior sister,” Jiang Xuehan said in a low voice.
“Now that the Cultivator Administration Bureau has noticed you, you can’t stay in Da’an City any longer; it would be even more dangerous. I’m taking you back to our Sect to see Master,” Zhao Xiangmei continued.
“Master was already angry with me, and now that I’ve drawn the attention of the Cultivator Administration Bureau, Master will surely dislike me even more,” Jiang Xuehan said weakly.
“We still have to go back,” Zhao Xiangmei said.
Jiang Xuehan sighed deeply, her expression becoming extremely resentful.
Suddenly, Jiang Xuehan’s expression changed, and she exclaimed, “Oh no, my Ice Flower Sword is still in their hands!”
“A Spiritual Artifact is important, but not as much as your life,” Zhao Xiangmei said with a frown.
Jiang Xuehan wanted to say more, but hesitated, ultimately choosing to shut her mouth.
Emperor Garden, Central Villa.
Liu Ruyan and Ah Hua had already arrived at Li Qianfan’s bedroom, and even Hei Yue had hurried over.
Seeing Jiang WanYun’s angry face, Liu Ruyan asked, “Who rescued Jiang Xuehan?”
“I didn’t see clearly,” Jiang WanYun replied, shaking her head.
After a pause, Jiang WanYun continued, “Just now, I had asked Li Qianfan to go find you and Ah Hua, ready to set off, but the moment he left, a figure broke through the window.”
“It must have been a woman. She threw a smoke bomb containing poison on the ground, instantly creating a very thick smoke. By the time I had dispersed the smoke here, they had already disappeared,” she said.
Hearing Jiang WanYun’s words, Liu Ruyan’s expression turned very grim.
