Chapter 2324: Chapter 2359: The Pact
"Hehe~"
Ling Wanru took a sip of Blood Droplet Rose, her flaming red lips seemed smeared with a layer of fresh blood, she smiled at Ding Fan and said, "What’s wrong? Are you scared? My talent has been rare in Spirit Dragon Hall for thousands of years. As long as I work hard at cultivation, it won’t take long to reach the Eight Level Divine Realm. Ding Fan... you better prepare to bow and wash my feet."
Ling Wanru’s maternal grandfather died on Luoshen Mountain. At that time, Ding Fan made a bet with her to provoke her.
Ding Fan proposed two conditions: If Ling Wanru could make her father kneel before her lover’s grave and make the Central Plains People pay tribute to her maternal grandfather, then Ding Fan would bow to her and wash her feet.
This was absolutely impossible in Ding Fan’s mind, at least the first point was very difficult for Ling Wanru. What kind of status does the Spirit Dragon Hall Master have? How terrifying is his combat power?
If Ling Wanru wanted to complete the first point, her combat strength must completely overwhelm her father, at least achieving the Eight Level Divine Realm.
Breaking through the Eight Level Divine Realm is not that easy!
Ding Fan knows that the Ding Family has only three at the Eight Level Divine Realm. Ding Zhanpeng’s injuries are severe, making it difficult to recover. The Ding Family has countless disciples, infinite resources, but even the Ding Family rarely produces a master at the Eight Level Divine Realm. Can Ling Wanru breakthrough easily?
However...
At this moment, Ding Fan had a feeling that maybe Ling Wanru could really do it, perhaps even surpass her father to become the top in Spirit Dragon Hall.
Because this woman is too crazy!
If one does not go mad, they cannot truly live. If a person falls into a state of madness for something, their achievements will be terrifying. Ling Wanru seems to be such a mad person, her life has no meaning, the only thing supporting her is the bet with Ding Fan.
Ling Wanru’s talent must be extraordinary, Spirit Dragon Hall has abundant resources, and Ling Wanru can breakthrough from Fifth Level Divine Realm within half a year, maybe in a few years, she’ll reach the Eight Level Divine Realm.
Ding Fan was really a bit afraid, the juniors of the Eleven Royal Families truly cannot be underestimated, and Ling Wanru also has the heritage of Level Eight Warriors, Phoenix Butterfly Soul Devouring. If she continues to maintain it, she’ll surely hold a place in the future list of Central Plains War Gods.
He took dozens of breaths to come back to his senses. Ding Fan didn’t close the door when he entered the room, and when he reached the square table, he poured a cup of Blood Droplet Rose, drank it, and said with emotion, "Miss Ling, there was a saying I didn’t understand previously, but now I have a deep understanding of it. That saying is ’Three days without seeing a friend, look anew with respect.’
"Hehehe~"
Ling Wanru laughed, laughing charmingly, her body trembling, with a fascinating red glow on her face, she proudly said, "That’s only because you suddenly appeared. If you reappeared after two months, I would definitely breakthrough to the Sixth Level Divine Realm."
"So impressive!"
Ding Fan sincerely sighed and said, "Miss Ling is the most talented person I have met, perhaps one day, Ding will truly bow and wash your feet."
"Of course!"
Ling Wanru’s face became serious, she said, "Ding Fan, don’t regret what you’ve said."
"Hahaha!"
Ding Fan laughed and said, "I, Ding Fan, am a man of my word, a man who stands straight and tall. Naturally, I won’t deny the bet I’ve made."
Ling Wanru nodded slightly, then asked, "Ding Fan, haven’t you returned to the Ding Family? Why are you here? When I returned to Spirit Dragon Hall, I learned that you are the disciple of the famous Ding Aohuang. I truly didn’t see it."
Ding Fan glanced sideways at Ling Wanru and said, "Was it Zheng Tianren who told you? And was it Zheng Tianren who informed you to come here?"
"Haha!"
Ling Wanru caressed her hair and said, "You underestimate us at Spirit Dragon Hall. In fact... I received news of your affairs in Sirius City long ago, your banishment to Ferocious Ghost Island by the family, and being rescued halfway, I know, you came from Northern Wastelands. I thought you should return to Northern Wastelands, so I’ve been here half a month just to wait for you.
The Eleven Royal Families are indeed strong!
Ding Fan was deeply touched again. It seems that there must be many Spirit Dragon Hall informants in Sirius City, but it’s easy to understand why. The Eleven Royal Families are the most powerful forces in the Divine Realm, their scout cavalry should be spread throughout the Central Plains, their reach extends to all corners of Central Plains, so they can have absolute control over Central Plains.
Ding Fan recalled the dozen outer hall elders of the Ding Family, and the hundreds of stewards. When Ding Zhanjiao returned, he summoned over a hundred stewards in one day, there must be some responsible for intelligence among them.
"Really sorry, it seems I’ve made Miss Ling laugh."
Thinking that Ling Wanru already knows she has been exiled by the Ding Family, after all, this is an internal scandal of the Ding Family, Ding Fan felt a bit embarrassed and didn’t want to talk much about it.
Ling Wanru’s expression turned solemn, and she sincerely said, "Ding Fan, let me tell you the truth, your Ding Family has already issued an internal announcement, you and your master-aunt are no longer members of the Ding Family. Have you ever thought about joining another family? If you want to join the Spirit Dragon Hall, I can arrange for you to become an internal elite there. The Spirit Dragon Hall will provide you with all resources. As long as you reach the Sixth Level Realm in the Divine Realm, I will help you get a position as an Elder of the Outer Hall. In the Spirit Dragon Hall, you don’t need to act according to anyone’s face; I, Miss Ling, will protect you!"
"No longer a member of the Ding Family?"
Ding Fan’s face slightly darkened. Although he didn’t care much about this identity and had no attachment to the Ding Family, he still received the inheritance of Ding Aohuang, and within him existed the legacy of the Sirius Clan. Now that he has been expelled from the Ding Family, he truly has become a lone wanderer.
Seeing Ding Fan’s expression, Ling Wanru also fell silent. After a pause, she said, "Ding Fan, you don’t have to be sad at all. As long as you are willing to come to the Spirit Dragon Hall, it will be your home. No matter when, as long as I am around, if anyone dares to bully you, I will wipe out their entire family!"
Ding Fan laughed, shook his head, and said, "Miss Ling, I’ve told you before that I don’t like relying on others, let alone living under someone else’s roof. If the Ding Family doesn’t want me, I’ll build a Ding Family of my own. When the time comes, my family will be stronger than the Ding Family, then I will become the legitimate heir! By then, the Sirius Clan will regard me as the supreme."
"Haha."
Ling Wanru wiped her mouth. In fact, she already knew this answer, but she still asked the question. Yet if Ding Fan were willing to join the Spirit Dragon Hall, then he wouldn’t be the Ding Fan she once knew.
Ding Fan thought for a moment, quickly putting aside the matter of the Ding Family exiling him. This time, Ding Zhanjiao even wanted to kill him, which is even more hateful than expulsion, so he didn’t consider it a big deal.
After a while, he raised his head and said, "Miss Ling, can I ask for your help?"
Ling Wanru was a little surprised. Normally, Ding Fan isn’t someone who easily asks for favors. She curved her lips slightly and said, "You need to first tell me what it is about."
Ding Fan said earnestly, "I want you to block the area north of the Central Plains. I don’t want any people from the Central Plains to go to the Northern Wastelands, at least not for ten years. I need time!"
Ling Wanru was smart. She immediately figured something out and after a moment said, "Ding Fan, instead of going to the Northern Wastelands, wouldn’t it be better to find a place in the Central Plains, for example, north of the Central Plains, rather than going to wastelands? You could first capture a city, then fight for control of an auxiliary city. Even an auxiliary city in the Central Plains holds more resources than the barren Northern Wastelands. What resources for rising up could you possibly find in the Northern Wastelands?"
"No..."
Ding Fan knew that as long as he asked, Ling Wanru would definitely help him find such a place, but such goodwill was too much; the Spirit Dragon Hall would certainly have opinions, and at that point, no one could predict what might happen.
"Alright!"
Seeing Ding Fan’s determination, Ling Wanru nodded and said, "I will do my best to help you, but if someone from the Sirius Clan wants to forcibly go there, I won’t be able to stop them; I can only give you a warning in advance."
Ding Fan looked gratefully at Ling Wanru and uttered two words: "Thank you!"
Ling Wanru’s fox-like eyes squinted, and suddenly she walked towards Ding Fan with a mischievous smile and said, "You said no one is allowed to go to the Northern Wastelands, so am I not included in that ’no one’?"
"You..."
Ding Fan’s forehead showed a few black lines. This young lady was indeed a troublemaker. If she went to the Northern Wastelands, it would surely turn chaotic. He rubbed his nose and said, "Miss Ling, don’t you need to cultivate? I’m still waiting to kneel down and wash your feet."
"Hey, hey!"
Ling Wanru tilted her head, smiled, and said, "Cultivation should be relaxed and moderate, otherwise one might get obsessed. I’m just in a muddled state right now, occasionally going to your Northern Wastelands to play. Is that not allowed? If you don’t agree, then I’d need to reconsider what you just said."
"Alright!"
Ding Fan’s head ached a bit; he had no way of dealing with this troublemaker. He thought for a moment and said, "You can go play, but if anything happens, you know my temperament."
"Haha, it’s settled then."
Ling Wanru stuck out her tongue and laughed like a little girl who got her way, her fox-like eyes bending into crescent moons, looking particularly charming.
...
Divine Earth City has been very quiet lately because Lin Zhongshan has secluded himself for cultivation. Ever since he returned from Daozhen Villa, he has been in seclusion, preparing to break through to the Seventh Level Realm in the Divine Realm.
The Spiritual Materials needed for the breakthrough have been ready for a long time. Lin Zhongshan had never attempted it before because he was uncertain. These Spiritual Materials cost the Lin Family several years of savings, and if the breakthrough failed, all those years of effort would be wasted.
