Xia Hengzhou had left something in the bronze box, and very few people knew about it, yet the man in the long robe knew everything clearly.

Not only that, he had even sent Feng Huang to steal the item inside.

Xu Fan was certain that the man in the long robe must have a connection with the Xia Family.

Given the toxicity of the Jade Silkworm, even if he was a master at the Innate Realm, he wouldn't be able to resist it. Xu Fan was now looking at him indifferently, waiting for him to confess honestly.

"I... I'll tell, I'll tell everything..."

In less than a minute, the man in the long robe, under the devastation of the Jade Silkworm poison, already couldn't hold on any longer.

He had thought about using death to escape the torment of the poison, but the poison left him unable to move, and he couldn't even succeed in killing himself.

At this moment, his only choice was to make a frank confession to Xu Fan.

His teeth chattering, the man in the long robe looked at Xu Fan and said, "My real name is Xia Sanjiu, I am... Xia Hengzhou's personal bodyguard."

"Xia Sanjiu?"

Hearing the man in the long robe's explanation, Xu Fan couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

If he was indeed Xia Hengzhou's personal bodyguard, it would explain his intimate knowledge of Xia Hengzhou.

However, neither Xia Xiaodie nor Xia Yanyu had ever mentioned this name to him.

While he was suspicious, he saw Xia Sanjiu say, "Do you think I have any need to lie to you at this point?"

Xia Sanjiu looked at Xu Fan with a frustrated face and said.

He had hardly ever suffered a setback in his life, yet now he had actually fallen into the hands of this youngster.

It really did seem like the saying, the new waves of the Yangtze River push forward the old waves.

"Then why did you steal the thing inside the bronze box? What exactly was hidden inside it?"

When the bronze box was stolen by Feng Huang, he had no idea what secrets it contained.

Xu Fan was now looking at the man in the long robe, asking.

"Only a letter."

The answer given by Xia Sanjiu was exactly the same as what Feng Huang had told him previously.

In the years since Xia Hengzhou's disappearance, only this letter remained. Xu Fan guessed that the contents of the letter must be very important.

He then asked, "What exactly does the letter say?"

"..."

Hearing Xu Fan ask about it, Xia Sanjiu couldn't help feeling dejected.

It seemed Xia Hengzhou had anticipated the events of today a long time ago, and he didn't say much in the letter.

The first point was for Xia Yanyu to respect Xu Fan's opinions.

Despite having never met Xu Fan, Xia Hengzhou had great trust in him to protect the Xia Family's foundation.

If Xia Yanyu encountered any trouble she couldn't resolve, she should turn to Xu Fan.

His confidence largely stemmed from Xu Fan's master.

Beyond that, Xia Hengzhou also mentioned a location in the letter.

At that location, Xia Hengzhou had hidden over twenty pieces of Jiuyang Warm Jade.

It was obviously meant to be a gift for Xu Fan.

Now, holding his life in his hands, Xia Sanjiu did not hesitate and confessed everything.

Over twenty pieces of Jiuyang Warm Jade; where Xia Hengzhou got them from was beyond anyone's knowledge.

Now hearing Xia Sanjiu's confession, Xu Fan guessed that the Jiuyang Warm Jade he had obtained from Li Xiaochen must belong to those twenty-plus pieces.

"I guess Xia Hengzhou must still be alive right now,"

"His disappearance probably has an inevitable connection to the death of Xiao Tianfang, the Pavilion Master of Lingyan Pavilion."

As he pondered, he suddenly heard Xia Sanjiu speak.

This news couldn't help but raise Xu Fan's eyebrows.

Having disappeared for nearly ten years, almost everyone had concluded that Xia Hengzhou was dead.

Now Xia Sanjiu was saying he wasn't dead?

What was the basis for such a claim?

Carefully calculating, the timing of Xia Hengzhou's disappearance was indeed very close to the death of Xiao Tianfang…

This matter was related to the Xia sisters, and Xu Fan had to clarify it.

Looking at Xia Sanjiu, Xu Fan asked, "Where did you get this information from?"

In ten years' time, Xia Hengzhou had contacted no one; how could Xia Sanjiu have any basis for his claim?

"Hehe, it seems you're quite curious..."

Xia Sanjiu coughed and said to Xu Fan with a wry smile.

Ravaged by the Jade Silkworm Poison, his complexion was far from good at the moment.

"Release me first, and then I will tell you my basis."

"Not only that, but I can also remind you of something, something about your little life."

If the Jade Silkworm Poison were allowed to continue, even if he didn't die, his cultivation level would be ruined.

By then, he would be no different from a cripple.

Now holding the last card in his hand, Xia Sanjiu endured the erosion of the Jade Silkworm Poison, just hoping that Xu Fan would compromise with him.

"Xu Fan, you'd better listen obediently to me, otherwise, I assure you, you will undoubtedly die!"

Thinking about the information in his hands, Xia Sanjiu finally stopped looking so dejected.

"Are you threatening me?"

The suddenly aggressive attitude of Xia Sanjiu could not help but make Xu Fan somewhat amused.

A man lying on the ground, where did he get the qualification to talk to him like this?

"Heh, you can think that."

"If you want to live a little longer, you'd better, hurry up and cure me of the poison."

Xia Sanjiu, lying on the ground, grew increasingly confident.

Xia Hengzhou was able to get so much Jiuyang Warm Jade, finding his whereabouts would definitely bring about more benefits.

Xu Fan would surely guess this.

At this moment, he had to rely on himself!

He, he would definitely not dare to kill him!

He had to obediently listen to his own words.

Otherwise, don't expect that he would say another word!

"Xia Sanjiu, just as I've just said, I do like your blind confidence."

Looking confidently at Xu Fan, however, Xu Fan's attitude made Xia Sanjiu startled.

He didn't become as weak as Xia Sanjiu had imagined; Xu Fan stood up firmly, with the sword tip directly against his neck!

"You! What are you thinking? Don't you want to know the information I have in my hands?"

It was clear that he should act as if he wasn't afraid of death to bluff Xu Fan.

But when the sword tip was actually against his neck, it wasn't so easy to do that.

Xu Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Xia Sanjiu and said, "I am indeed curious, but I don't need to know it from you."

Since Xia Hengzhou's disappearance was related to Xiao Tianfang, he could very well inquire with Sister Lan.

He believed she could provide him information that wouldn't be inferior to what Xia Sanjiu had.

As for that matter concerning his life and death mentioned by Xia Sanjiu?

Xu Fan at this moment, had already guessed a rough idea.

"If I'm not mistaken, it won't be long before someone comes to claim my life, right?"

Matters concerning his life had to be related to the Yanluo Sword and the Nine Heavens Sword Technique he possessed.

Xia Sanjiu had once asked Li Xiaochen to deal with him, offering Jiuyang Warm Jade as a reward.

Despite besting Li Xiaochen with ease, he still made sure to reward him, which was clearly out of fear for Li Xiaochen's master.

Today, making such a scene at the Martial Arts Exchange, it wouldn't take long before the news that he possessed the Yanluo Sword spread.

Then, would Li Xiaochen's old master monster let him off?
