"The item is already in your hands, yet you are still not satisfied?"

Upon hearing Xu Fan's teasing, the other party responded indifferently.

Clearly, his previous conflict with Ye Chongshan had not escaped the observer's notice, he knew that the medicine bottle was now in his possession.

Xu Fan chuckled and then asked, "What is your purpose for coming here?"

"I need you to do something for me."

Upon hearing the other's explanation, Xu Fan couldn't help but laugh.

This guy's cultivation level was unfathomable, yet he needed his help?

"With your strength, do you still need my help?"

"You don't need to ask so many questions; you just need to know that I need your help right now."

"..."

He needed him, so he should help him?

Xu Fan laughed, but he wasn't that generous yet.

Heaven knows what this guy intended to make him do.

He immediately refused, "Sorry, I'm not interested."

"You..."

Without thinking, Xu Fan had rejected his request, causing the middle-aged man to be taken aback.

This young man, he's quite spirited, huh?

He should know that helping him was something many people dreamed of, yet he was acting arrogant with him?

"Young man, don't worry, I won't let you help me for nothing; once this is resolved, the reward I'll give you will definitely satisfy you."

Having found a suitable candidate, the other party did not want to give up just like that.

He dared not speak so arrogantly to Xu Fan as before, and his tone became much more polite.

Xu Fan watched and couldn't help laughing; this guy sure changed his attitude quickly...

After taking a breath, Xu Fan said, "It's not all about the reward; I really don't have time to help others right now."

He should know that he was still dealing with Situ Jing's troubles and couldn't possibly have the time to help a stranger.

The materials for Gu refinement weren't even all gathered yet.

"You may not help me, but there's someone you must help."

"Hmm?"

The other party, undeterred by his refusal, tried to persuade him again.

"Who?"

Upon hearing his words, Xu Fan subconsciously asked a question.

His mouth corner tilted upward as he smiled and said, "Qin Mengyue."

"If you don't help me, this woman will be in danger."

"Are you threatening me?"

Hearing his words, a flash of murderous intent passed through Xu Fan's eyes.

Due to Situ Jing's presence, all women related to him had temporarily left Shanghai.

But Qin Mengyue was an exception.

It wasn't that she dismissed his words, but it seemed there was a police task taking up all her attention, making it important for her to stay temporarily in Shanghai.

Whether it was Qin Mengyue or Zhou Keren, they were untouchable for him.

This guy dared to threaten him with Qin Mengyue; he would kill him even if it cost him his life.

"Wait, let me explain first..."

Feeling the chill from Xu Fan, the middle-aged man became somewhat unsettled.

He quickly waved his hands and started to explain.

"It's not me who wants to harm your friend..."

"But she's already in trouble."

It was indeed strange. He clearly wasn't worried about being at a disadvantage with Xu Fan, yet the feeling Xu Fan gave still made the middle-aged man wary.

As he explained, the middle-aged man couldn't help but take a few more glances at Xu Fan.

"What do you mean?"

Xu Fan looked at him warily and asked.

When he had asked Qin Mengyue to leave Shanghai for a while, she had said she was preparing to participate in a secret operation and couldn't leave, but she would depart in a few days.

This guy is now saying Qin Mengyue is in danger. What exactly is going on?

"It seems she didn't tell you."

"Qin Mengyue plans to infiltrate the Cross Border drug lords undercover. At that time, with cooperation from the inside and out, they're planning to take down the drug cartel."

"Do you think, with her abilities, she can handle a drug lord's base hiding an Innate Master?"

Hearing the middle-aged man's explanation, Xu Fan's brows furrowed instantly.

He didn't doubt the truth of his words; indeed, Qin Mengyue was daring enough to go undercover.

A normal drug lord, in cooperation with the local stationed troops, she could manage undercover.

But if she encountered an Innate Master, it would likely be a life and death situation.

He definitely would not allow this woman to risk her life; Xu Fan breathed out and planned to find her later to ask what was going on.

"So what do you want me to do?"

With his mind made up, Xu Fan looked over at the man.

Qin Mengyue had never mentioned knowing such a person, and his coming to him now shouldn't be to ask Xu Fan to help Qin Mengyue.

"From what I see, you would not likely just watch Qin Mengyue go into danger alone. Later, when you go to Vietnam, help me retrieve something. It's on your way anyway."

"How about it, are you willing to help me?"

The man briefly explained and then looked at Xu Fan expectantly.

"To show my sincerity, I'll tell you the usage of the Zhu Spirit Blood right now. How about that?"

Apparently worried Xu Fan would refuse him again, the middle-aged man added more chips to the bargain.

This condition did somewhat tempt Xu Fan.

If he could absorb the power of that object, his strength would increase greatly, making it much easier to deal with Situ Jing later on.

Not only that, but he indeed needed to visit Vietnam.

To refine the Gu that he would use against Situ Jing required Gu Insects of high quality. Vietnam, being a mountainous and forested area with many poisonous insects and snakes, was very suitable for him to cultivate the base Gu.

Even some of the materials needed for this Gu Refinement were grown in the region of Vietnam.

Cooperating with this man, in a sense, wasn't a loss for either party.

Understanding Qin Mengyue's character well, Xu Fan had no intention of stopping her from participating in this undercover operation.

Fighting criminals was this woman's dream. He would support her, never blocking her way.

"Helping you find something is no problem, but you have to promise me one thing."

Having made up his mind, Xu Fan breathed out and looked over at the man.

Seeing Xu Fan agree, the man couldn't help but rejoice, quickly saying, "Alright, you tell me. As long as I can help, I definitely will."

"While I am away, take care of the brothers of the Qing Gang for me. We can lose the territory, but not a single person must be missing."

A trip to Vietnam was inevitable, but the only concern for Xu Fan was the Qing Gang brothers.

Gongsun Qin could protect herself, but it was more difficult for those men of the Qing Gang.

With this man's help covering for him, it would indeed give him peace of mind.

"Alright, I can help you with that,"

The man agreed to Xu Fan's condition without hesitation.

He needed to deal with something during this period and happened to need to stay in Shanghai. To him, this small request was no conflict.

"However, there is one thing I'd like to remind you."

At that moment, the middle-aged man's gaze towards Xu Fan carried a hint of valuing talent as he said, "I suggest that you better not think too much about dealing with Situ Jing."
