Chapter 33 Sisters Are Proud
Li Fan asked several inexplicable questions in a row, which made Yin Yuzhen a little confused. She didn't understand why Li Fan asked these questions.
She suddenly seemed to have thought of a possibility, and stared at Li Fan with a pale face: "Could it be that you are the father of our two sisters who have been separated for many years?
But she quickly denied it herself: "No, you don't look like us at all."
"I'm just curious." Li Fan ignored the little girl's slightly unconventional thoughts and said lightly.
"I know, I know. It's human nature to be curious about people of the same kind." Yin Yuzhen nodded repeatedly as if she understood.
Li Fan was too lazy to explain.
Yin Yuzhen sighed and said slowly, "We were originally from Yelan Island in the north. Our parents died in a disaster when we were young, leaving only my sister and I to depend on each other. As far as I can remember, my sister and I could only survive by begging every day, and we had no food to eat."
"But I don't know since when, my sister can always find all kinds of valuable things in different places."
"So our lives got better day by day, and later my sister built Tianbao Tower single-handedly," Yin Yuzhen recalled.
"It's a pity that I haven't seen my sister for several years." Her eyes were full of nostalgia.
"Oh? Where did she go?" Li Fan frowned.
"Three years ago, my sister was spotted by a passing immortal master and was taken away. At first, she would ask someone to send us a message to let us know she was safe. But later, we never heard from her again." Yin Yuzhen said pitifully, holding her chin with both hands.
"Taken away by the immortal master? Could it be that he took her to practice Taoism?" Li Fan couldn't help but ask.
Yin Yuzhen sighed, "It would be great if it were true. In the letter my sister sent me earlier, she used a codeword that only the two of us understood to tell me that her current situation is very dangerous. If she doesn't contact me anymore, it means that she might have met with an accident. She also told me not to look for her again."
Upon hearing this, Li Fan couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that the special constitution of her spiritual body caused this disaster?"
"This is also something that I can't figure out. Although the psychic body is indeed very powerful and can sense treasures within a certain range around me, this ability is also limited."
"My sister is just a mortal. What she can sense are only things that are of some value to mortals. In the eyes of those immortal masters, these treasures may be no more than scraps of copper and iron."
"It's not like there were no immortal masters who noticed my sister's talent before, but in the end no one took it seriously. I don't know why, but in the end she was still taken away by that immortal master." Yin Yuzhen sighed again, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.
"Although my sister is in danger, the legacy she left behind is still there. Tianbao Tower, which my sister worked hard for most of her life, cannot be destroyed in my hands." Yin Yuzhen said, staring at Li Fan with her big eyes.
"That's why I asked you to come here today."
Li Fan raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
Yin Yuzhen explained to herself, "I don't have my sister's magical ability. After my sister disappeared, Tianbaolou's business got worse day by day. In addition, I misjudged a few items and didn't realize they were fakes, which led to another large loss."
"The elders gradually became dissatisfied with me and even wanted to join forces with outsiders to drive me out and divide up the assets of Tianbao Tower."
"Fortunately, they still have concerns about my sister who was taken away by the Immortal Master, so they have not taken any action yet."
"So I came to Liuli Island from Yelan Island under the pretext of expanding the market, to avoid the limelight for a while."
"I originally wanted to develop here for a few years, accumulate some strength and then go back to settle accounts with them, but I didn't expect to meet another psychic body on this Liuli Island."
Yin Yuzhen was quite excited: "With your help, I will definitely be able to take control of Tianbao Tower again."
"Why should I help you?" Li Fan was unmoved. "I am not interested in the affairs of your Tianbao Tower. All I want is to cultivate immortality."
"You promised me that if I helped you take down the fleet, you would help me get a spot in the Spirit Purification Pool. You didn't go back on your word, did you?"
Yin Yuzhen seemed to have been mentally prepared for Li Fan's answer. She nodded and said, "We at Tianbao Tower always put integrity first when doing business. I will definitely do what I promised you. But..."
She paused and looked at Li Fan with a cunning look.
"But what?" Li Fan's face darkened.
Yin Yuzhen smiled softly: "Uncle, even if you can enter the Spirit Pool, what does it matter? It is not easy to remove the miasma in the body. Every year, only half of the people who enter the Spirit Pool succeed. And the older you are, the higher the probability of failure."
"Uncle, you are not young anymore, are you 100% sure that you can succeed? Everyone has only one chance to enter the Spirit Pond in their lifetime. If you fail, I am afraid you will have to say goodbye to cultivating immortals forever."
"I know that the Body Purifying Spirit Pool is not a 100% success rate. But a 50% success rate is enough for me to try. However, from what you mean..." Li Fan looked at Yin Yuzhen with narrowed eyes.
"That's right." Yin Yuzhen had a smug look on her face, knowing that Li Fan would take the bait. "My sister's last letter was accompanied by a pill called the Lichen Pill."
"According to my sister's letter, as long as you take this pill, the chances of successfully removing the miasma in your body will be greatly increased. If you combine it with the Body Purifying Spirit Pool, even at your age, there is a great chance of success."
"With such a miraculous elixir, why haven't you taken it yet?" Li Fan couldn't help but ask.
"Uncle, not everyone is like you, determined to become an immortal. My wish is to do business well and then protect the Tianbao Tower left by my sister." Yin Yuzhen replied.
"Everyone has their own aspirations..." Li Fan nodded slowly.
"What? Uncle, do you agree?" Yin Yuzhen looked at Li Fan with expectant eyes.
"Let me go back and think about it. I'll give you a reply in three days." Li Fan pondered for a moment and did not agree immediately.
"Okay, uncle, I'll wait for your news." Although Yin Yuzhen was a little disappointed, she still nodded.
"Goodbye!"
…
"I hope I'm not wrong this time."
Yin Yuzhen looked at Li Fan's receding figure, her expression turned serious, and she spoke in a low voice.
When dealing with Li Fan, Yin Yuzhen always played the role of "junior" and "little girl".
Her feeling told her that Li Fan didn't hate her doing this.
Moreover, as a junior, getting along with Li Fan will make things easier to succeed.
Yin Yuzhen is not like her sister, who has the ability to sense treasures from nowhere.
But she also has her own special features.
No one knew except her sister Yin Yueting that Yin Yuzhen had been able to vaguely sense the good and bad of things since she was a child.
It is thanks to the elder sister's psychic body and the younger sister's ability to avoid danger and seek good fortune that the two sisters were able to grow up smoothly.
