Legend of the Fighter (2)
Chapters... 63: Third crystal
One week later, the entire Bei Xian City had now been in Shao Mingrui's hands, of course it was thanks to Zhou Fan's help, otherwise, how could it possibly do so.
Even so Bei Xian City still looked like it was in a state where the eighth prince was in charge, many bandits were wandering around even though they were not really doing the robbery.
It was done so that if there were eyes that crossed Bei Xian City did not suspect the change of the city.
Zhou Fan was currently in a room with Lan Ning, the girl had all this time continuously improved her understanding regarding formations, already able to create water formations.
But all was not enough, he had to improve his comprehension until the water turned into ice. He must quickly make an effort, if not to lose the chance to save his sister.
Zhou Fan gave little by little input, when Lan Ning was about to make a mistake, he immediately reminded.
"You can carry on all this on your own, I can't help you anymore, whether you succeed, it depends on your luck and how much you try." Zhou Fan stood up, he had conveyed what he had to convey.
After this he would go towards Chen City together with Shao Mingrui.
"Teacher?" Lan Ning stood up, she then swung her hand out a silvery blue crystal.
Zhou Fan's face since the crystal appeared never once turned away. That was his goal, an ice-elemental eighth level beast crystal.
But there is one big question that bothers me. Lan Ning's sister hasn't even healed yet, why did this woman show her the crystal beast?
"Dad said you must need him the most, besides the third prince also said, your main goal is to help him as well because of targeting the ice-element crystal beast in the imperial warehouse." Lan Ning handed the crystal beast over to Zhou Fan.
Zhou Fan did not want to hesitate, he took with a happy face. It was the third crystal he had obtained, now he only needed six more, five if counting the ones in the imperial warehouse.
"If there's something, just say it. You don't know how important this crystal is to me." Zhou Fan said solemnly, he will never forget the kindness of the one who helped him.
Maybe the crystal he had obtained was due to helping Lan Ning, but still he had to thank her because the eighth level beast crystal was very important to him.
Lan Ning only smiled as Zhou Fan revealed his intentions, in his mind there was no other desire other than to heal his sister. What Zhou Fan gave was more than enough, with it at least he had great expectations about his sister.
Zhou Fan slowly left, his back instantly disappearing as the door closed. Lan Ning refocused on what he had done before, training the formation technique until it could evolve the power of water into ice power.
After coming out of the Mantis Zhou Fan Tribe's territory towards the tunnel, there he had been waiting for Shao Mingrui as well as one other person. "Who is he?" His eyes glanced at the unknown old man.
"He is Shin, the shadow bodyguard of the general's family. His strength was at least at the level of a two-star senior fighter, he was the strongest person the general's residence had."
Zhou Fan only nodded as Shao Mingrui explained about the strength of the old man beside him, he could see clearly if what was said was indeed true.
With his strength that was at the level of a one-star saint warrior, he could see the strength of the old man named Shin despite having been suppressed to be the equivalent of a nine-star emperor realm fighter.
"So he's the one you meant before" Zhou Fan said, recalling Shao Mingrui's words saying that one person would follow them.
"Well, there's at least some extra energy when it comes to dealing with some problems." Shao Mingrui took out a map, then deployed it to Zhou Fan.
"You've already marked it, now that we have to cross Lanqiao Town, we're walking around?" Zhou Fan scanned the map in his hands, there was already a black and also red dot that they had to pay attention to. In addition there is also a white dot which is the path they must take.
Actually not only was it a consideration to choose a detour, They would pass through Xinyan City, there was a neutral territory, there was a sect that was the pillar of the city.
Shao Mingrui had acquaintances there, it was the sect that her mother used to live in before becoming empress. Although it was not too big, the sect could not be said to be small.

"Lanqiao Town seems to be within the power of the eighth prince as well." Zhou Fan observed from his seat, the many bandits around them and the clothes worn looked the same as those in Bei Xian City before.
Shao Mingrui also observed, he agreed with Zhou Fan. He really did not expect that his eighth sister was so heartless, putting the population under pressure.
"Sir, can I help you?" A young woman sat down smiling.
Zhou Fan observed this young lady, her face looking familiar in his memories.
"Young master Zhou, have you forgotten me?"
The woman's words strengthened Zhou Fan wide, she was already wearing a robe, besides that the black hood also covered her face.
"You can hide your face, but the wolf beside you makes me sure who you are." The young lady glanced at the red Wolf standing beside Zhou Fan's seat.
Zhou Fan frowned even more, he then recalled one thing, he was in Lanqiao City, few knew of his identity.
"Xi Yu'er?"
The young lady nodded with a smile. "Don't expect young master Zhou to still remember me."
Shao Mingrui looked on in surprise, the name 'Xi' enough to make him widen his eyes. The Xi Empire had been destroyed perishing, hearing this young lady surnamed Xi, naturally made her mind branch.
"There's something I want to talk about." Xi Yu'er said seriously, not showing any doubt at all.
Zhou Fan felt that something was serious, it was possible that this was related to his teacher. He stood up, asking Xi Yu'er to find a better place to talk.
"I'll be back, not long." Zhou Fan left with Xi Yu'er, heading to the second floor room which was a special room for guests.
"I remember if it was previously named Xilou Sha, is this one of its branches?"
Xi Yu'er nodded. "Right, this is our branch, and it's only been a few months in operation."
"We leave aside the problem of the restaurant, there is something I want to convey." Xi Yu'er had a serious face.
Zhou Fan removed the hood, revealing a charismatic face. The long hair that is allowed to break down, making its appearance more mature.
"It's Grandpa Lou's problem,"
