"How did you get in?"
It was none other than Liu Qingxian.
Liu Qingxian snorted and pulled out a key. "I came in perfectly legitimately, of course."
Jiang Fan quickly checked his own key; it was still there!
He immediately realized that Liu Qingxian had used her status as the sect leader's daughter to get a spare key.
"Senior Sister, isn't this inappropriate?" Jiang Fan frowned slightly.
Even with their good relationship, he still wanted some personal space.
Liu Qingxian felt the distance.
She placed the spare key on the table and mumbled, "First, check your cave dwelling to see if anything's missing."
Jiang Fan looked closely and realized there were claw marks all over the room.
Many items had been damaged.
A thief?
He quickly went to check on the Youthful Glow Cream, as well as the Foundation Establishment Pills and the materials for the Black Soul Bone Regeneration Paste hidden under his bed.
All of them were safe and sound. Only the small spirit beast he had tied up tightly was gone. Seeing that the vine remnants were bitten through, he finally understood what had happened. The cunning little spirit beast had broken free and caused a great deal of mischief in the room.
"Senior Sister, did you find something unusual in my cave dwelling, and that's why you got a spare key to investigate?"
Jiang Fan realized he might have misunderstood Liu Qingxian.
Indeed, she turned her head away. Her eyes were slightly red-rimmed.
This... Jiang Fan didn't know how to console her.
He went back to the inner room and took out a few bottles of Youthful Glow Cream. "Senior Sister, Sect Leader Gong just took the other Youthful Glow Cream. Here's a new bottle for you."
Liu Qingxian's voice choked. "I don't want it! Don't think I'll forgive you."
Jiang Fan said, "Then I'll give you two bottles."
Liu Qingxian hesitated, then huffed, "I still won't forgive you."
"How about three bottles?"
"You... you stop that!"
"What about four bottles?"
"Don't do this!"
"Five bottles."
"Alright, alright, that's enough, too many! I can't use them all at once."
Watching Liu Qingxian break into a smile, happily hugging five bottles of Youthful Glow Cream, Jiang Fan rubbed his nose.
There's no woman in this world who can't be won over by one bottle of Youthful Glow Cream. If there is, then it's five bottles.
"Jiang Fan, what happened in your room? When I came over, I heard wailing and howling, like a thief had broken in."
Looking at his badly damaged cave dwelling, Jiang Fan said with a dark expression, "Not 'like,' it *was* a thief. It better not come back again. If it dares to, I'll teach it a harsh lesson!"
Liu Qingxian nodded. "Then be careful. A thief bold enough to come to Sect Leader Peak isn't simple."
After seeing her off, Jiang Fan closed the door. He quickly tidied up the room, realizing it wasn't safe to leave the materials lying around like that. He immediately refined them into supreme-grade Foundation Establishment Pills and supreme-grade Black Soul Bone Regeneration Paste.
He continued working until dawn. He carried all ten supreme-grade Foundation Establishment Pills and nine bottles of supreme-grade Bone Regeneration Paste with him. That bucket of Youthful Glow Cream wasn't safe at home either. After thinking, he decided to carry that on his back as well.
In front of the main hall, Gong Caiyi's face showed surprise. "Are you sure you didn't mishear? Jiang Fan has no spiritual root?"
The beautiful female disciple had a beautiful name: Yuan Ziyu.
She nodded. "I asked several female disciples, and it's true, he has no spiritual root."
Gong Caiyi was slightly astonished. "That's truly unexpected. Sect Leader Peak actually accepted a disciple with no spiritual root. Never mind. Since he's not a disciple of my Spirit Beast Sect, whether he has a spiritual root or not isn't important."
Just then, she saw Jiang Fan from afar, with a bag hanging on his chest and a large wooden bucket strapped to his back.
She couldn't help but smile, pursing her lips. "Are you planning to take me on a long journey?"
Jiang Fan replied helplessly, "My home was robbed, so I had no choice. I had to carry my valuables with me."
He set down the large wooden bucket, lifted the cloth covering its opening, revealing a large bucket of Youthful Glow Cream, and said, "Sect Leader Gong, please take some with a container."
Gong Caiyi was overjoyed. "So much?"
"Ziyu, quickly get something to store it."
She had been worried that Jiang Fan wouldn't have a hundred bottles. It turned out this large bucket contained several hundred bottles. Yuan Ziyu also clicked her tongue in amazement and quickly brought a small bucket, filling it completely. It was enough for Gong Caiyi to bathe in.
Jiang Fan felt no regret. In comparison, that bottle of Earth Phoenix Grass juice was far more valuable than all this Youthful Glow Cream.
Gong Caiyi now found Jiang Fan much more pleasing to the eye. She asked expectantly, "Where are you planning to take me first?"
Jiang Fan had already planned the route: "Heavenly Sword Peak."
The Heavenly Sword Peak Elder received the notification. He led all the disciples of the peak to specially welcome them at the foot of the mountain.
Li Qingfeng said with an excited face, "Li Qingfeng, Elder of the Azure Cloud Sect, respectfully welcomes Sect Leader Gong."
News of Sect Leader Gong's visit to the Azure Cloud Sect had already spread like wildfire. Learning that she planned to tour Azure Cloud Peak, the elders of all peaks had made thorough preparations. They just didn't know which peak the Sect Leader would visit first. This would signify which peak the Sect Leader valued most.
Li Qingfeng never imagined that Gong Caiyi's first stop would be their unremarkable Heavenly Sword Peak. This made Li Qingfeng feel overwhelmed with honor.
Gong Caiyi nodded with a faint smile. "Elder Li, you're too kind. We're just taking a casual look around."
Li Qingfeng happily said, "Sect Leader Gong, please allow me to introduce our peak to you."
Gong Caiyi nodded. But she didn't forget Jiang Fan, turning her head to say, "Jiang Fan, you come along too..."
It was then that she noticed. Jiang Fan had, at some point, stealthily slipped to the back. He was flirting with two extremely beautiful female disciples. Hearing them call him 'husband,' Gong Caiyi was even more astonished. Were these two exquisitely beautiful female disciples both Jiang Fan's wives? How did he manage to convince them to share a husband?
And Jiang Fan wasn't stingy with them; he gave each a small bucket of Youthful Glow Cream. This made Gong Caiyi suddenly realize. No wonder Jiang Fan's first stop was Heavenly Sword Peak; he was using the pretense of touring with her to visit his wives. This greatly annoyed Gong Caiyi.
"Jiang Fan!" she called out.
Hearing her, Jiang Fan hastily bid farewell to Xu Youran and Chen Siling and hurried over, asking, "Sect Leader Gong, do you have any instructions?"
Gong Caiyi opened her mouth, but the rebuke she was about to utter retracted. What's wrong with him seeing his wives? It didn't delay anything. She didn't know where to begin to scold him, so she could only huff lightly, "Elder Li wants to introduce Heavenly Sword Peak. Don't you want to look around?"
Jiang Fan rubbed his nose. Touring Heavenly Sword Peak was nothing compared to spending time with his two wives. But his duty was to accompany Sect Leader Gong on her tour.
"Elder Li, please lead the way," Jiang Fan said, smiling at Li Qingfeng.
Li Qingfeng, who had always disliked Jiang Fan, couldn't help but be stunned. Only then did he understand why Gong Caiyi's first visit was to Heavenly Sword Peak. It wasn't because Heavenly Sword Peak was particularly important to Gong Caiyi. It was because Jiang Fan's wives were here.
Gong Caiyi had been tricked into coming by Jiang Fan. This cooled Li Qingfeng's excitement considerably, but what made him even more awkward was that: As the high and mighty Peak Master, he had to personally give a thorough introduction of Heavenly Sword Peak to Jiang Fan, whom he disliked! What kind of situation was this?
Ding Wanping was mixed in with the disciples, watching Jiang Fan walk proudly at the very front. He, meanwhile, had no choice but to follow closely, looking displeased.
"That sycophant!"
Suddenly, he remembered something and caught up to Li Qingfeng, whispering, "Master, why don't you invite Sect Leader Gong to see our Heavenly Sword Peak's Sword Tomb? It's a unique feature of our Heavenly Sword Peak, and you could also have Sect Leader Gong draw a sword as a gift."
Li Qingfeng frowned slightly. "Sect Leader Gong isn't skilled with swords; if she can't pick one properly, it'll be a joke."
The swords in the Sword Tomb had been nurtured with sword qi for years, holding it within. Randomly drawing a sword would cause sword qi to burst forth, leading to an embarrassing situation.
Ding Wanping pointed at Jiang Fan. "How can we let Sect Leader Gong do such a thing? Wouldn't it be better to have Jiang Fan draw it?"
Li Qingfeng's eyes lit up.
