Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 317 Zhao Manyan Returns

"Did you see him for the last time?" Mo Fan asked the extremely haggard young man in front of him.

"I have seen it." Zhao Manyan nodded.

"Is it Zhao Youqian who did it? Want revenge? I will help you." Mo Fan asked.

Lin Ran said, "I will help you. Zhao Youqian is not a big deal."

"Not for now." Zhao Manyan shook his head.

Zhao Youqian had become a madman. Once Zhao Manyan knew that he was not dead, he was worried that this bastard Zhao Youqian would harm his mother and other friends.

Zhao Manyan has matured a lot now. He knows very well that if he keeps thinking about revenge, he might let his father down even more. Is his father unwilling to leave because he wants him to live well?
Many people think that death is great and that risking one's life is brave, but sometimes death is simply a way to get rid of all the problems once and for all. Choosing death when one does not want to live and dares not face this extremely heavy blow is something that only the most cowardly people would do!
Zhao Manyan would not do anything stupid now. He would not disappoint his father's expectations. He wanted to live well, live longer than anyone else, and live more freely!

“How did you know I wasn’t dead?” Zhao Manyan was surprised that Lin Ran and the others could actually guess that he was murdered.

“When you were attacked, Lin Ran saw Ba Xia, so he thought you wouldn’t die. And when we were still in Hangzhou, Totem Black Snake noticed that Ba Xia was approaching the coastline, so he thought you should return home soon. Then we went to your father’s hospital to wait for you, but I didn’t expect that I would actually wait for you.” Mo Fan said.

Thinking of Zhao Manyan, Mo Fan remembered that Zhao Manyan actually wanted to talk to him about his brother that day.

Zhao Manyan and Zhao Youqian are brothers, and Mo Fan thought it was hard to think that way. But later, Lin Ran asked Lingling to look up some information about the Zhao family and came to this conclusion.

To be honest, the result of this inference is infuriating. I never expected that relatives living under the same roof would do such a thing.

Lin Ran said, "Your brother is too abnormal."

"Yes, my father will die sooner or later. Zhao Youqian wanted to kill me, but I didn't die, and nothing changed much." Zhao Manyan said.

"You don't want to seek revenge for the time being, so what are your plans for the future?" Mo Fan asked, and then looked at Lin Ran.

Lin Ran understood that Mo Fan wanted to drag Zhao Manyan into the team to find the totem.

"I was thinking about this question before...but our plan seems to have failed." Zhao Manyan said.

"Yeah, the three of us just wanted to be idle. Our ideal was to knock over the Japanese loli, screw the big-butt chicks from the beautiful country, and have sex with some British sluts. But in the end, we actually became members of the academy seriously and even won first place. We turned around and became good people who brought glory to the country." Mo Fan sighed, and suddenly pointed at Lin Ran and said, "Only this bastard completed some of the mission progress. He even wore a kimono to add interest when he slept with the Japanese chicks..."

Lin Ran waved his hands hastily and said, "Don't talk nonsense. The protagonist today is Lao Zhao. Don't push it onto me."

“Hahaha, I want to travel around for a year or two, just to relax. I’ll think about what I want to do later.” Zhao Manyan said with a smile.

Lin Ran looked at Mo Fan and said that the opportunity had come.

"If you want to travel, then you can come with me. We just accepted a job for traveling, and I think you will like it. It is a state-appointed travel at public expense. Maybe you can find some concubines. Lin Ran slept with a moth demon before." Mo Fan said.

"Oh, that's great. Where shall we go first?" Zhao Manyan's eyes lit up when he heard that they had a plan.

Actually, Zhao Manyan also wanted to improve his strength. He believed that Lin Ran and the others' so-called sightseeing would definitely not stop them from practicing, and that traveling around to practice life and death would be better than burying themselves in hard practice, so he quickly agreed.

"We are going to Yantai, and this matter has something to do with you." Mo Fan said.

"Is it related to me?" Zhao Manyan asked in confusion.

“The big guy who sent you to the coast must be the totem beast Tyrant, right?” Mo Fan asked. This was something both Lin Ran and he knew.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you all knew about this. I couldn't be sure at first. When it rushed out in Venice, I thought I was definitely dead. I didn't expect it to just send me to a place I knew clearly... I was seriously injured at that time, and it took me several months to recover. After that, I practiced in that remote place. By the way, what happened to Lin Ran sleeping with the Moth Demon?" Zhao Manyan said.

“Hahaha, I didn’t expect you to pick up such a big treasure. As for Lin Ran’s matter, just ask him yourself.” Mo Fan said.

Zhao Manyan looked at Lin Ran.

Lin Ran told him what happened before.

Zhao Manyan gave a thumbs up and said, "Baxia doesn't like to interact with humans. I guess it has returned to the Pacific Ocean. I am very weak, so it doesn't think highly of me. It took me a lot of effort to get it to send me back home."

“Hahaha, I didn’t expect it to be such a proud old turtle. If it stood next to the Totem Black Snake, wouldn’t it be very shocking?” Mo Fan said.

“In fact, it doesn’t like the Totem Black Snake very much. Even though they are brothers, they are the type that never interact with each other.” Zhao Manyan reminded.

Lin Ran and Mo Fan looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect this to happen.

"..." They felt a headache. No wonder the Totem Black Snake never told them that it had a big brother named Tortoise.

“By the way, what exactly do you mean by sightseeing?” Zhao Manyan asked.

"Go find the totem beast!"

Zhao Manyan opened his mouth...but no words came out for a long time.

This is a very dangerous and slim thing. It's no wonder that they specialize in doing such strange things.

If Zhao Manyan had never met Totem Baxia, he would probably have called them insane. After all, totem beasts were ancient relics from the previous era, and it was unknown how many kilometers deep they were buried in the soil. If they tried to find the totem, they would probably just find some bone residue that was about to be degraded...

But now, Zhao Manyan already believed that there were still some very ancient totems in this world. He also understood that some had been completely destroyed, but there were also many totems like Ba Xia that were completely isolated from humans and hidden in the kingdom of demons.

"This job is quite interesting, but there are actually some powerful restrictions on my wooden fish. If you want it to release more powerful power, you need to use the power of the totem beast. The reason why Ba Xia doesn't listen to me at all is because I can't completely remove the restrictions on this wooden fish." Zhao Manyan said.

"That's great. Once you use the power of other totems to untie your wooden fish, you will be invincible in the country. If you let Ba Xia deal with Zhao Youqian, Zhao Youqian will probably not even dare to breathe." Mo Fan said. Lin Ran said, "I guess he will just have to endure it even if you slap him a few times."

Zhao Manyan could not help but nodded. He needed more strength, strength that could allow him to compete with Zhao Youqian. Now it seemed that besides Lin Ran and the others, the only one he had was Totem, but he didn't really want to rely on Lin Ran and the others.

With a goal, he also had a direction. Zhao Manyan's eyes gradually became shiny. Thinking of Ba Xia's incomparable and terrifying strength, Zhao Manyan was looking forward to the time when he would be fully recognized by the arrogant old turtle.

……

Zhao Manyan later returned to live in the school. He had secretly bought an apartment there, which he used to fool around with his girlfriends. He kept it a secret from his family, and it was estimated that Zhao Youqian would not be able to find out where it was.

Moreover, this place was very close to Lin Ran’s lakeside apartment. They copied out all of Zhao Manyan’s Baxia totem imprints, thus they obtained a very complete Xuanwu totem imprint!

Although the totem mark of Xuanwu is not used now, it may become an important clue in the future. If it were not for the hints from Totem Black Snake and Totem Baxia, they would not have been able to know so easily that there are actually some connections between the totem beasts.

Zhao Manyan returned to his apartment and immediately began to sort out all the information he knew about totems. Mo Fan was lying on the lazy chair on the terrace.

He was the only one in the apartment today. Lin Ran and the others were not there. They must have gone out to play.

Damn Lin Ran, Mo Fan thought about it and suddenly sat up. He took out the small loach pendant from his clothes.

Although searching for totem beasts is exciting and the rewards are huge, these are not the real reasons why Mo Fan is searching for totem beasts...

Little Loach, this special pendant has always been with Mo Fan. It is like an integral part of his life.

Nan Jue, who had studied ancient characters, once said that Mo Fan had a companion vessel that was more powerful than the wooden fish vessel.

Now that the wooden fish vessel has been confirmed to be the symbol of the Totem Baxia, the son of Xuanwu, what about this little loach pendant? ?

The Little Loach Pendant has always been a mystery. Mo Fan understands that it may have represented a more powerful totem...

Only by finding this totem can the secret of the loach pendant be completely revealed!

“Little Loach, I guess you have restrictions too, because every time you gain strength, a layer of restrictions on your body will be unlocked, and then you can provide me with a stronger cultivation blessing... The rare and ancient energy of the Totem Beast is probably your favorite!” Mo Fan murmured to himself as he looked at the Little Loach Pendant.

Mo Fan's current cultivation speed is a bit slow. He can't compare with Lin Ran, and is even a little slower than Mu Ningxue.

Mu Ningxue is now very focused on her cultivation. In addition, she is constantly activating the fragments of the Ice Crystal Bow in her hand. The power of her cultivation is very terrifying.

Mo Fan now needs to cultivate six systems, so he needs to spend a lot of resources, but this is far from enough. If he wants to upgrade to the super level, he will have to cultivate eight systems.

Therefore, it is very necessary to upgrade the small loach pendant now!

It’s not really an upgrade.

At the beginning, Teacher Tang Yue told Mo Fan that his little loach pendant was a growth vessel. Mo Fan always believed that if he fed the little loach pendant some good things, it would gradually grow.

But in fact, the small loach pendant is likely to be a symbol of a sealed totem, and it has a huge connection with the totem. If it obtains a matching special resource, it will remove a layer of shackles on its body and then grant Mo Fan more powerful energy and cultivation blessings!
After understanding all this, Mo Fan knew exactly what path he should take next.

That's why he agreed after Shao Zheng told him about the totem beast.

He has nothing more worthy of his discovery than the little loach now. He already has a gold mountain to dig, so there is no need to rush around like a headless fly.

Moreover, Mo Fan also wanted to know what secrets the little loach pendant held!!
Ba Xia is already so powerful, so what kind of powerful ancient creature does this small loach pendant symbolize?

……

"Here you go." Ai Tutu put the ice cream in Lin Ran's hand and then smiled sweetly. No one else disturbed her today, and her sister Mu Nujiao also went home to deal with some things. Ai Tutu had practiced hard for a period of time and received strong support from her family. After that, she got a lot of resources, and her strength also improved by leaps and bounds. She couldn't beat Mu Nujiao at all before, but now she can hold on for a long time. She is already very happy. This feeling of getting as much as you give is very good.

She sat beside Lin Ran and leaned against him. She looked at his profile and said, "Will you marry me?"

Lin Ran said without hesitation: "As long as you want."

"But...but what about Sister Jiaojiao?" Ai Tutu was a little happy but also a little worried. She knew Lin Ran's situation and she had thought about leaving him, but whenever she saw him, she couldn't help but run to him. She felt like she was possessed.

"I married her anyway." Lin Ran said.

"But...but we can't do this." Ai Tutu muttered.

Lin Ran looked at Ai Tutu and said, "Rules are meant to be broken. Don't worry, in this world, you can solve almost everything with your fists. As long as we are strong enough, no one can stop us. Of course, the only one who can stop us is you."

Ai Tutu pouted, as if she had asked a question that she shouldn't have asked.

She said angrily, "I won't marry you anymore. You should marry Mu Ningxue from now on. Then I can cuckold her every day."

"I didn't expect you like to play exciting things." Lin Ran said.

Ai Tutu stood up and snatched the ice cream from Lin Ran's hand and then said, "You indulge me too much. You should quarrel with me, so that I will have an excuse to leave you."

"Then I will indulge you for the rest of your life." Lin Ran said.

"You scumbag, I'm giving this to you as payment for having sex with you." Ai Tutu put a one-dollar coin into Lin Ran's chest pocket with a wicked smile.
