Legend of the Fighter (2)
Chapters... 101: Satisfying Outcomes of Bleeding
"What are you doing, brother?"
Shao Mingrui came to the terrace, finding Zhou Fan standing while looking at the moon and stars.
While everyone was celebrating the victory by eating food and gulping, this young man was standing outside alone.
Zhou Fan lowered his gaze, slowly glancing at Shao Mingrui who was carrying his son.
Seeing this interaction between father and son further clouded Zhou Fan's feelings. He forced to smile, gradually his hands outstretched. "Just looking for the wind, it just so happens that this cold air is very refreshing."
Shao Mingrui handed the half-year-old son over to Zhou Fan. He did not know what had happened to his brother, but there was clearly a deep sadness.
Had he not seen it today, perhaps no one would have known that a Zhou Fan could be sad.
Along with that, a servant came. "Master, the madam called."
Shao Mingrui nodded, then turned his gaze around. "I go in first, I leave my son to you."
It was obvious that Zhou Fan still wanted to carry his son, so he did not try to pick it up when the stone was handed over.
"My son must be the same age as her," Zhou Fan muttered as he glanced at a child sleeping in his arms.
Zhou Fan did not even know if his son was a boy or a girl, even if he wished he had a son, it would be no different if it was a daughter.
In addition he also recalled the circumstances of Zhou Xia-his little daughter whom he had to stay away after his birth. Zhou Fan felt very guilty, not knowing whether or not his daughter would blame him upon returning.
"Mother, father, Lin'er, Wei'er, Xia'er and also Bing'er. Wait for me, I'll be back!" Zhou Fan did not yet know the gender of his son along with Wei Guanlin. But because before going some names have been chosen, he called names that he thought were good.
"Teacher, why are you here?"
Zhou Fan glanced at a glance, without even seeing that he already knew if it was Lan Ning.
"What about your sister?"
Hearing Zhou Fan ask instead of replying, Lan Ning flicked her lips. But he still answered the question, "My sister got better after I was able to make an ice world for her, even though every few days I had to build a new formation for her."
"That's good, you'll be able to maintain the formation after its profoundness. It all needs a process." Zhou Fan brought Shai Mingrui's son inside because the cold was attacking too much, it was not good for a baby to stay outside.
The next day, Zhou Fan was already preparing with his horse. Likewise, Shao Mingrui and a few others who were going to go to the imperial capital.
A few days from now was the ceremony of attestation of Shao Mingrui as heir to the throne. Zhou Fan went there because he wanted to collect Shao Mingrui's promise that he would take out the ninth level beast crystal stored in the imperial treasure room.
The two Twin Axes also came along because they had decided to stay with Zhou Fan. Even they were about to follow Zhou Fan who was about to go towards the Han Empire.
The trip to the capital did not take too much time, they arrived in one day of travel.
Upon entering the palace gate, many people greeted him. Although not many are happy for his arrival, he will not care for some parties who attract revenge on him.
He had prepared for this from the beginning. By seizing the position of heir to the throne of course there are some parties who are not willing to submit to serve him.
But that was not a problem at all, after ascending the throne, he would overhaul the order of the palace and change everyone into his person. He did not want to keep a snake that even made life become unsettled.
...
The confirmation ceremony would last for an entire day, but Zhou Fan was not that interested and preferred to be in his room with Zhou Jim.
Zhou Fan took out one by one a storage ring that belonged to the robbery victim. However saying as a robbery victim was also untrue, Zhou Fan only helped save because the previous owner had gone home.
Wouldn't it be more useful if someone used it? Zhou Fan thought as he began to inspect the contents inside the loot ring.
Whoa!
There were no words spoken from his mouth, his lips could only form the letter 'O' while his eyes looked on with amazement.
Really no loss!
Zhou Fan smiled with satisfaction, from just a few rings he had already made a very abundant profit. Somehow with the rest of the dozens of rings that he still did not know the contents.
A few moments later...
"It's a pity none of them have the herbs I need. Looks like I'll have to wait until I get some other ingredients."
Zhou Fan hoped to find the right herbs. But fate was not on his side. From the entire storage ring there was indeed a quality herbal plant that could even be said to be rare.
But the plant is not what is needed by him, so it is useless. At least for now, don't know if it will be useful someday.
"Jim, take your share." Zhou Fan cast an eighth level beast crystal, its crimson color emitting a slightly burning hot aura.
Zhou Jim who saw the eighth level beast crystal lying under his muzzle, instantly devoured it. No need to chew, the crystal goes through the throat like water that is drunk once a gulp.
Tok tok...
"Teacher, are you inside?"
Zhou Fan recognized this voice, and he got up from his seat and walked toward the door. "What's wrong?" he asked for it after opening the door.
Lan Ning walked into the room, she looked around. "Teacher, what are you doing. Are you hiding a woman?"
Zhou Fan narrowed his eyes, but in a flash it had already returned into his expression. "If nothing matters, go away. I don't have time to respond to that useless remark of yours."
Lan Ning slid her legs, making the door that would be closed unable to close.
"Teacher, I'm not kidding. Actually was... " Lan Ning stopped her remark, making Zhou Fan pay attention curiously.
"Actually those noble princesses want to meet you, teacher. You should know that they are beautiful women in the Shao Empire."
"Go." Zhou Fan closed the door, he did not have much time to think about the women's matter at all, his main focus right now was to obtain the crystal beasts present in the palace.
"Wait, wait. This time it won't be, I'm serious." Lan Ning knocked on the door a little hard, but Zhou Fan was unmoved on the bed.
"Teacher, if you no longer want that ninth level crystal beast, you can ignore my words. I came asked the third prince."
Brak!
The door of the room instantly opened, Zhou Fan walked out even ahead of Lan Ning.
"Why not say from the beginning!"
