Chapter 1101: Older Sister and Younger Brother

She escaped, claiming to seek help, but there was nowhere to even begin. Fortunately, she ran into Jian Linyuan.

Jian Linyuan said the family had pardoned him for his contribution of a Dragon Marrow Pellet. However, the rest of the Third Elder's lineage had all been imprisoned. Jian Weishuang, who had escaped, was now wanted by the family. If found, she was to be killed on sight! Left with no choice, Jian Linyuan hid her inside his spatial bronze mirror.

Jian Linyuan sighed, "I'm fine. They just called me over to question me and forced me to hand you over. Sister, don't worry. Stay safe inside the spatial bronze mirror. I wouldn't betray you even if it killed me!"

Jian Weishuang was so moved that her eyes welled up. He was truly a good brother. Reflecting on how she used to always hit him, she felt ashamed.

"Brother, it was my fault before. I'll never hit you again."

Jian Linyuan, feeling guilty, scratched his cheek and said: "I need to go drinking... to smooth things over for you. Just bear with it in the drawer for a while longer. In three to five months, once the fuss dies down, you'll be safe."

With that, he tucked the bronze mirror into a drawer. He tidied his hair, his spirits high, "I can enjoy myself for another three to five months now."

Just then, he suddenly sensed something. He looked down, his eyes widening. A fishing hook emerged from the void, snagged the spatial bronze mirror through the drawer's crack, and pulled it out. The bizarre scene left him stunned for a moment. By the time he reacted, the spatial bronze mirror had already been dragged into the crack, vanishing without a trace.

"My bronze mirror! Damn it! Who stole my stuff? Oh, right, my sister is in there, she was stolen too. Oh, well, that's fine then."

At that moment, the fishing hook reappeared! A Dragon Marrow Pellet hung from the hook. Jian Linyuan blinked, then realized it was Jiang Fan who had taken the spatial bronze mirror, and he had exchanged it for a Dragon Marrow Pellet.

After what had just transpired, Jiang Fan had only just managed to leave the Jian family. How could he dare to go back in? He had no choice but to resort to this method to borrow the spatial bronze mirror.

"Oh, it's Senior Jiang? You should have said something earlier! If I'd known, I would have prepared my sister's dowry for you too!" He took the Dragon Marrow Pellet, then quickly retrieved a jade talisman inscribed with the spatial bronze mirror's control method and hung it on the hook, saying delightedly: "Take her, take her, the farther away you take my sister the better. Don't let her come back."

Outside the Jian family estate, Jiang Fan reeled in his void fishing rod. Holding the jade talisman, he smiled faintly, "This kid is quite sensible after all." He immediately familiarized himself with the control method.

A moment later, he cast a hand seal, striking it onto the spatial bronze mirror, establishing a connection with it. This allowed him to see inside the mirror. With just a glance, he was completely stunned.

Jian Weishuang? How did Jian Linyuan shove his sister in there too? He was *too* sensible, wasn't he?

Jian Weishuang also stared at Jiang Fan in astonishment. The two stared at each other.

Jiang Fan covered his chest, asking suspiciously: "What are you doing hiding in the mirror? Trying to peek back?"

Jian Weishuang shrieked in anger, "Who wants to peek at you? Quickly, return the bronze mirror! My brother is in danger!"

Danger? Jiang Fan's eyes showed suspicion, but after a brief inquiry, he understood the whole story. His lips twitched involuntarily. "These two are definitely siblings. Fake ones wouldn't dare to screw each other over this badly."

Jian Weishuang was also furious, her chest heaving violently, and her ponytail swaying behind her head. "Jian Linyuan! You're asking for death! Let me out! I'll go back and flay him alive!"

Jiang Fan rubbed his nose and coughed dryly: "Miss Weishuang, it's better to resolve enmities than to deepen them. Since you're out, I'll take you out for a stroll to cool off. And while we're at it, help me with a small favor."

"Why should I?" Jian Weishuang retorted angrily, until a Dragon Marrow Pellet was tossed inside. She had seen Jian Linyuan's Dragon Marrow Pellet before, so she naturally recognized it. She had beaten Jian Linyuan seven or eight times to get a Dragon Marrow Pellet from him, but he never relented. Jiang Fan just gave her one directly?

She quickly picked it up, her face lighting up with a smile, "Alright, Jian Linyuan's miserable life is spared for now. What do you need help with? Just so you know, I won't do anything improper." She said, her guard up.

Jiang Fan smiled mysteriously, "Don't worry, it's completely proper!"

He tucked the bronze mirror into his embrace and hurried to meet Wang Chongxiao.

"Brother Wang, to be frank, my enemy is a powerful individual from your Great Yin Sect."

"From the Great Yin Sect?" Wang Chongxiao wasn't bothered. He had only infiltrated the Great Yin Sect to gain an identity. He felt no particular allegiance to the Great Yin Sect. He pondered the potential strength of this enemy. Jiang Fan was only at the Third Aperture... no, he was already at the Fourth Aperture. This scoundrel actually broke through a realm just by visiting the Jian family. He had caught up to him! He recalled that when they first met in the Demonic Beast Secret Realm, this guy was only at the fifth layer of Core Formation, right? At that time, he himself was already at the eighth layer of Core Formation. Despite such a large gap, he had actually caught up! Fortunately, their realms were merely equivalent. In terms of actual strength, he should be far inferior to him. Jiang Fan was at the Fourth Aperture Nascent Soul, so his enemy couldn't possibly be a Seventh Aperture Nascent Soul, could he?

"Who is your enemy, if I may ask? If they are too strong, I might not be able to help," Wang Chongxiao said, his eyes glinting.

Jiang Fan said solemnly, "It's Venerable Blackbone."

Wang Chongxiao was surprised, "You really know how to stir up trouble; you've provoked the Sect Master's right-hand man! He's a Sixth Aperture Nascent Soul! If you want me to deal with him, I really have to think about it."

In truth, he could handle a Sixth Aperture Nascent Soul. He just needed to put on a show so Jiang Fan wouldn't discern his true capabilities.

Jiang Fan said, "Brother Wang, you've misunderstood. How could I possibly let you face such a dangerous person? I will desperately hold him back myself. Brother Wang only needs to help me retrieve my top-grade spiritual artifact from one of his Yin Corpses."

Wang Chongxiao's heart pounded. Even with all the treasures Wang Chongxiao possessed, the words "top-grade spiritual artifact" still startled him. He said in astonishment, "Brother Jiang, you can't be serious. That's a top-grade spiritual artifact! Even Venerables might not possess a fitting one."

Jiang Fan replied calmly, "Otherwise, why would I foolishly contend with a Sixth Aperture Nascent Soul from the Great Yin Sect? He truly went too far by sending a Yin Corpse to steal my top-grade spiritual artifact."

Wang Chongxiao's heart pounded. Even if he didn't get the Blood Coffin, obtaining a top-grade spiritual artifact wouldn't be a loss! He swallowed, saying, "Are you sure that top-grade spiritual artifact is still on the Yin Corpse? Venerable Blackbone, as its owner, should have taken it already, shouldn't he?"

Jiang Fan said gravely, "That's also what I'm worried about. If it's not on that Yin Corpse, then it will be troublesome. Therefore, I'd trouble Brother Wang to capture that Yin Corpse and search it."

Wang Chongxiao's eyes darted. He asked, "What does that top-grade spiritual artifact look like?"

Jiang Fan pondered, "It's a string of prayer beads that can suppress souls. Wearing it can also fill one's body with the power of Buddhism."

Upon hearing the last sentence, Wang Chongxiao felt a surge of certainty. If that were the case, finding that top-grade spiritual artifact would be much easier for him. He would simply need to replicate the opponent's full power. If he replicated Buddhist power, it would indicate that the top-grade spiritual artifact was indeed on the body.

Heh heh. Jiang Fan, oh Jiang Fan, you truly are my lucky star. I've just returned to Taicang Prefecture, and you've already delivered such a valuable gift as a top-grade spiritual artifact. This brotherhood, I'm certainly committed to it!

Hahaha!
