Chapter 375: What Appears to be False is Actually True
Chapter 373 – Seemingly False but Actually True
When Huangfu Song heard Li Fan’s almost somewhat roguish words, he couldn’t help but not get annoyed, but instead revealed a rather appreciative expression.
“When I heard about your brat’s deeds before, I thought that you had been taken over.”
“No matter how I look at it, you can’t relate to the words ‘sacrificing oneself for others and being selfless’.”
“But what you have done is obvious to all and cannot be faked, I have been wondering for a long time.”
“Today, you have a word, but is all to solve the doubts in my heart.”
Huangfu Song sized up Li Fan and nodded slightly, “You kid, you’re a tough guy!”
Li Fan’s face was as usual: “Senior has praised you too much! I don’t know what about this compensation?”
Huangfu Song patted his stomach and snorted, “You don’t just want to know from me where to go next to maximize the efficiency of the competition list. What’s the point of engaging in all these twists and turns.”
Saying that, he made a point towards Li Fan.
All of a sudden, the construction of Tianxuan Spirit Locking Formations that encompassed most of the current territories of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, as well as the list of the corresponding formation masters, were densely packed and detailed into Li Fan’s eyes.
Not only was the points ranking of each formation master on the current Grand Competition Gold Ranking labeled, but there was even a thoughtful prediction of each contestant’s ability to charge up the list next.
Huangfu Song said proudly, ”This is the new top secret list that was rumored yesterday. Although the points will change again after a day passes. But it can definitely be used as a reference as well.”
“Ordinary people who want to see it will have to pay a price.”
Li Fan quickly scanned through the contents of the list.
After a moment, he frowned slightly.
Huangfu Song saw Li Fan’s expression in his eyes and said with some surprise, “What, Kid Li, are you still not satisfied with this?”
“Senior Huangfu, in this list, it seems that certain places have been left out?” Li Fan’s eyes burned as he inquired.
“Omitted? By no means? I have this ……”
Before Huangfu Song could finish his rebuttal, Li Fan directly interrupted, “What about the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven?”
Huangfu Song was stunned in place.
However, he heard Li Fan gushing, “As the trigger that caused the great war between the Ten Thousand Years Alliance and the Five Elders Association’s Heavenly Spirit State back in the day, and now the main source of supply for countless materials within the alliance, it’s impossible for such an important place to not have the Tian Xuan Spirit Locking Formation set up, right?”
“And then what about the [Endless Sea]? A holy place of cultivation that countless cultivators dream of, once they cross the sea, they will be able to reach the peak of their current Great Realm. I didn’t see it on the list either.”
“Star Pivot Plains, Jie Shi Tian ……”
“Even though I am a humble person, but these regions, I have still heard of them.”
In order to conceal his true goal, Li Fan named many hidden and important places in a row.
These were all known to Li Fan from browsing the secret literature on weekdays and had not really been there.
However, at this moment, it was perfect to move them out to confuse the public.
“You kid knows quite a lot.” Being dismantled by Li Fan, Huangfu Song’s face did not look the slightest bit different.
Muttering a sentence, Huangfu Song said with a straight face, “Let’s get it straight, you also know the importance of these places. It is simply impossible to let outsiders dabble in them at will.”
“That’s right, the contributions gained from constructing formations in these places are indeed several times that of unusual regions.
“But the relevant formations in them all have special people responsible for their construction. You, a junior, with no connections and no backstage, still want to mix in and brush your points ……”
“Really thinking too much.”
Huangfu Song shook his head repeatedly, “Look at so many people on the Grand Competition Golden Ranking, who else can do it?”
“Aren’t they better than you?”
Li Fan was not discouraged for a moment by Huangfu Song’s denial on the opposite side of the table, but instead grasped the point of it.
Thoughtfully, he said, “What senior means is that as long as one has connections and background, then participating in the construction of formations in these regions is not impossible?”
Huangfu Song was a bit speechless by Li Fan’s clear-cut brain circuit.
He was just about to make a sarcastic remark, but when he saw that Li Fan was seriously thinking, somehow, his heart was suddenly startled.
“You kid, it can’t be true that you have some backstage, right?” Huangfu Song asked suspiciously.
Li Fan, however, did not answer positively, but only smiled faintly, “But just doing my best, this matter may require the good offices of Senior Huangfu next.”
These ambiguous words made Huangfu Song even more suspicious.
“If the matter is feasible, I will contact senior again later. At that time, I still hope that senior will help me.” Li Fan said courteously.
After speaking, he was about to walk out of the room.
Looking at Li Fan’s back, Huangfu Song’s eyes flickered.
After hesitating for a moment, he still couldn’t help but ask, “About Tantai Tao ……”
Li Fan’s steps did not stop, and in a moment, he had disappeared from Huangfu Song’s view.
Only faint words were left behind, lingering in the aftermath.
“But the words of the late generation in jest. Senior has helped me several times, if you don’t like it, then I won’t mention it again in the future.”
Huangfu Song stared at the direction Li Fan had disappeared in, his expression inexplicable.
With a cold snort, he blasted the door of the room shut.
Li Fan looked as normal and returned to his residence.
Whether the horizontal deaths of Tantai Tao and the others were really related to Huangfu Song, Li Fan was not sure.
However, when Li Fan had first unintentionally teased Huangfu Song about Tantai Tao, he had detected a hint of abnormality in his somewhat overreacting demeanor.
He even vaguely felt a murderous aura directed at him.
Although it was almost imperceptible, Li Fan, who had mastered the [Phase-less Killing Mechanism], had a very keen sense of killing intent.
It could basically be confirmed that Huangfu Song had indeed ventured the idea of killing Li Fan in that split second.
This made Li Fan a little curious.
So next, Li Fan kept using the matter of Tantai Tao’s horizontal death to test Huangfu Song’s bottom line.
To his surprise, as soon as Li Fan mentioned Tantai Tao, Huangfu Song really became a bit more talkative.
Even as a result, his attitude towards Li Fan was very different from the other trainees.
Until today, Huangfu Song’s line of questioning.
It was considered to be a confirmation that there was indeed some connection between him and the deaths of Tantai Tao and other cadets.
It was unlikely that he was personally involved, otherwise he should have been liquidated a long time ago.
However, it was still possible that he had done something like revealing information about Tantai Tao and the others.
This was also the reason why Huangfu Song was a bit sensitive to the word “Tantai Tao”.
Because he couldn’t withstand serious investigation.
Even though time has changed and the names of Tantai Tao and the others have almost been forgotten by the majority of the people.
But Li Fan always came that way in front of Huangfu Song every once in a while.
It did also mess up his mind a bit.
Li Fan naturally knew how to stop at the right moment.
Since Huangfu Song had already made his words clear today, it would not be possible to pretend to be confused in the future, as he had done before.
The meaning conveyed is also very clear, you only need to help me one last time.
Then from now on, I will absolutely not mention this matter again.
There is already enough information obtained from Huangfu Song, it would be unattractive to push him over the edge.
Li Fan made this statement, and there was no reluctance to do so.
