Starting as a clan leader: My rules are a bit wild.

"These are actually not important. We are just passing by."

"What matters is."

The thirty-sixth floor was already 'close at hand', and Lin Fan's expression gradually became serious: "How can I borrow the Dingkong Pearl?"

“It’s really hard.”

"The life treasure is of utmost importance to anyone. The Lord of Guixu is the Immortal King, and the Dingkong Pearl is an innate spiritual treasure. Even if we don't remove the master, he will definitely suspect that we have the means to force the Dingkong Pearl to change its owner."

"so···"

Fan Jianqiang pondered and said, "If I want to borrow the Dingkong Pearl, I'm afraid there are only a few possibilities."

"The simplest way is for us to offer a 'price' that the Lord of Guixu cannot refuse. But the price for him to take the risk of lending the Dingkong Pearl is probably..."

"There is another possibility. We give him a collateral. However, the value of this collateral must probably exceed the Dingkong Pearl. But once he accepts the collateral, I will not be at ease. What if he forcibly takes this thing for himself?"

Fan Jianqiang spread his hands.

He didn't doubt whether Lin Fan could come up with the "collateral".

Just worried about being at a disadvantage.

"Besides that, perhaps, we can only..."

"Fuck him head-on?"

"If we fight, Master, with your current strength, you should not be afraid of him."

"But this is Guixu, his home ground. There must be various formations and countless helpers. If we really fight, we may not be able to gain the upper hand."

"Besides, the Dingkongzhu is a 'divine weapon', we may not be able to defeat it."

“So, I really don’t have any good solution at the moment.”

"you're right."

Lin Fan nodded: "This is also my headache."

"We can't say we're taking advantage, but at least we can't suffer too much loss, right?"

"If he lends us something, it's reasonable for us to pay him some 'commission', but we won't be taken advantage of."

"As for going straight to the fight, that's not our style either. If we take things by force, what's the difference between that and the guy named Tang? Unless he strikes first without knowing right or wrong and goes too far, otherwise, it's not appropriate for us to take action."

"but···"

"There is another possibility."

"We won't lend it to him."

"How about just asking him to bring the Dingkong Pearl and make a move once?"

Fan Jianqiang stroked his chin and said, "This is a path I have never thought of. Master, I think this is a good idea. Maybe it is feasible and the cost is lower."

"You can give it a try!"

"Stop flattering me here."

however.

Lin Fan rolled his eyes: "I don't believe you really didn't think of this."

Fan Jianqiang grinned.

There was no rebuttal.

Lin Fan said unhappily, “Come on.”

"No matter what, we have to meet the Lord of Guixu and know his status first."

Fan Jianqiang nodded his head: "You are right."

Lin Fan: "So what? Why don't you do anything?"

Fan Jianqiang was at a loss: "What are you doing?"

Lin Fan raised his leg and kicked him on the butt, scolding him with a smile: "You idiot, are you still pretending?"

"cough."

Fan Jianqiang rubbed his buttocks: "As the saying goes, no one knows me better than my father, Master...you are truly my second parent."

he muttered.

At the same time, quietly "take action".

Of course not a fight.

But leave a backup plan.

Ensure the safety of this trip.

After all, he is a saint.

Running to someone's lair to meet their boss, and this boss is an Immortal King, how could he just run there without making any arrangements?

After a while.

Watching countless Gou Sheng disappear in all directions, Lin Fan held his forehead with his hand and said, "As expected of you."

"Master, you are too kind."

"Shall we go?"

"Is it possible... Never mind, I'm just praising you."

"···"

······

"This is not a question of whether the charm is good or not."

"No matter how much I like you, I can never do such a rebellious thing."

"The person you want to see is our high and mighty Lord of Guixu. How can a tourist like you be treated like this? Something bad will happen. This is not feasible, not feasible~!"

The guards shook their heads repeatedly: "Absolutely not!"

Swish.

Lin Fan raised his hand and cast another favor symbol, increasing the force.

After the spell hits.

When the other party saw Lin Fan's gaze, it was as if he saw the God of Wealth. He was reluctant to leave, but he still turned his head away and said, "It's not that I don't want to help you."

“That’s the principle.”

“It cannot be changed.”

Lin Fan smiled and said nothing.

Cast the favor charm for the third time.

"You're going to make me make a mistake!"

The fourth favor symbol.

"···"

"Oh, that's all."

"I am kind-hearted and I feel like I have known you for a long time. Your business is my business. I will take care of this matter."

"It's just that it's not difficult to meet him, but for the rest, I really can't help."

Lin Fan was touched: "Brother, it all depends on you~!"

"That's fine. We are brothers after all."

"···"

······

Thirty-sixth floor.

Peak Restaurant.

This person led Lin Fan and the other person to the top floor of the restaurant.

This place has been properly arranged and is extremely prosperous and lively, with an indescribable difference from the first floor.

It’s like the first floor is the refugee area, and this place is the heavenly palace!

The maids coming and going carried exquisite food and drinks, and the guests were all strong people, smiling, calm and peaceful, living up to the 'ghostly appearance' of the people on the first level.

The 'god' who brought Lin Fan and the others here whispered, "This is it."

"This is a cocktail party hosted by an important person. You don't need to know who he is. You just need to know that the important person will give him some face and show up at the cocktail party."

“But it may not last long.”

"You are here, and you can see Him for yourselves."

"However, remember to keep a low profile and never cause trouble."

"Even if something goes wrong, don't betray your brothers."

Lin Fan waved his hand: "Don't worry, brother."

“We know our limits.”

"That's good, I'll leave first."

The other party was obviously feeling guilty and turned around and ran away.

aside.

Fan Jianqiang had already started eating.

"Master."

“This stuff tastes good.”

"Compared to what we usually eat, it's not bad."

"It's just that some rare treasures are missing."

Lin Fan nodded: "Not surprising."

"Guixu is not really poor and backward, it's just that they divide people into three, six, nine... No, it's fifty-four."

"And among these fifty-four levels, they are further divided into different categories."

“That’s why the gap is so big.”

He also walked over, picked up two pieces of delicious food and took a bite.

As he thought.

Whether it is the ingredients, cooking methods, taste or presentation, it is an excellent choice.

It's quite enjoyable.

The two immediately began to enjoy the food and waited for the cocktail party to begin.

About ten minutes later.

The cocktail party has begun.

The organizer went on stage to give a speech and said a lot of gibberish.

But since I didn't know either of them and didn't understand their affairs, I was confused and didn't take it seriously.

Subsequently.

Everyone eats, drinks, chats, dances, etc.

Until the atmosphere reached its climax, finally, the Lord of Guixu appeared.

He looked to be about forty, in the prime of life.

He has a strong body, a face as calm as a pool of stagnant water, distinct facial features, and deep eyes that seem to be able to see through people's hearts.

As soon as he arrived, everyone stood up and saluted.

Lin Fan and the other man followed the local customs and stood up and clasped their fists.

This unusual behavior immediately attracted the attention of the Lord of Guixu.

But he didn't know the situation and didn't express his dissatisfaction. He just raised his hand and made a gesture, then went on stage to congratulate a few words, then stepped aside and tasted the various delicacies.

No one dared to disturb them.

It was not until he stood up to leave that Lin Fan led Fan Jianqiang to follow him.

Leave the restaurant.

In the 'elevator' that is ten thousand meters high.

Lin Fan stands shoulder to shoulder with the Lord of Guixu.

Fan Jianqiang always stood behind Lin Fan.

"young people."

"I don't know who you are or why you are here."

"but···"

"Did your elders never teach you etiquette?"

The Lord of Guixu spoke.

boom!

Thunder in the silence.

The elevator suddenly accelerated, and in Lin Fan's mind, it seemed as if countless thunders exploded, trying to "drowned" and swallow him.

But he remained calm and resolved all the unexpected events naturally. At the same time, the elevator speed returned to normal.

The Lord of Guixu frowned slightly.

Lin Fan chuckled and said, "Of course I have taught you etiquette, but isn't standing shoulder to shoulder with someone also a form of respect and etiquette?"

"I hope the Lord of Guixu will not blame you."

"interesting."

The Lord of Guixu smiled.

This meaning couldn't be more obvious.

After all, what kind of person would think it's polite for you to stand shoulder to shoulder with you?

Strong!

In fact, in his own opinion, he is a stronger person than you!

Because only the strong will subconsciously think that I am giving you face by standing with you, shoulder to shoulder with you, rather than offending you! Because normally, you should be half a step behind me, or even more!

"Outsider."

"Perhaps you don't know much about Guixu or me?"

“I really don’t know much.”

Lin Fan smiled and said, "However, I know myself quite well."

"I think···"

"I am qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with you and to communicate with you."

"I don't know, do I need to try?"

He did not grovel.

There is no need to be humble or servile when asking for help.

Because he knew very well that these were useless!

For a person like the Lord of Guixu who holds a high position, he has seen too many people groveling, begging for mercy and being servile.

If you ask someone to borrow...

Don't even think about it, it's absolutely impossible!

They won't even give you a chance to communicate with you.

I'm too lazy to answer you!

If you want to communicate with him on an equal footing and discuss "business", you must show enough strength to win his approval.

otherwise···

Just like now.

In the eyes of the Lord of Guixu, are you worthy enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with me?

Therefore, Lin Fan did not give in at all, and even showed his rare domineering attitude.

"Okay."

The Lord of Guixu was not surprised at all. He just chuckled and said, "Young man, since you are so confident, I will give you this opportunity."
