He Tingchun said gently to Fan Yuan, "How about I come pick you up later?"
Fan Yuan was already unwilling to go with him, and upon hearing this, she was even more eager and immediately went far away.
He Tingchun walked over to Zhang Fan, his expression serious, and said in a low voice, "I'll give you whatever money you want, but can you please stop lying to my wife? I just heard from those people that you hinted to her that the child is her son, and she really can't take it."
"You should have heard of the He family's status. Making an enemy of me will bring you no benefit whatsoever."
He tried to coax Zhang Fan into giving in by using both carrot and stick tactics.
Zhang Fan glanced at Fan Yuan, who was talking to Li Ben: "Don't you think they really are mother and son?"
He Tingchun looked up and thought the two looked very similar, but there are many people in the world who look alike, so it doesn't mean anything.
Zhang Fan said calmly, "The He family is not what it used to be."
A hint of embarrassment flashed across He Tingchun's face.
The He family was once very powerful, even ranking second in Kyoto, only after the Wei family.
However, since his child died young, the He family's business has been declining, and the elderly in the family have been constantly ill.
Although he just said that the He family was one of the four great families in Kyoto, he was just trying to fool outsiders.
The Ho family has long since declined; now they are merely a shadow of their former self, barely still belonging to the upper class.
Zhang Fan: "Now I can settle accounts with you."
He Tingchun was puzzled, and Zhang Fan said, "I can cure your wife and restore your family to its former glory, but you need to promise me one thing."
Seeing Zhang Fan's determined look, He Tingchun nodded subconsciously: "As long as my wife gets better, money is just an external thing. If possible, I'm willing to give you half."
Zhang Fan waved his hand: "Thirty percent, but I have one request: your bodyguards must protect my family."
He Tingchun was surprised that Zhang Fan knew he had bodyguards, and agreed immediately without thinking.
Zhang Fan gathered the group together and drew a talisman: "This is a protective talisman that can protect you. Before I return, no one is allowed to touch this talisman."
The three people took the talisman, but could not understand why.
Looking at the talisman in her palm, Fan Yuan felt much better and no longer had that eerie feeling.
Zhang Fan: "You must remember what I'm about to say."
He first asked about Fan Yuan's birth date and time, and Zhang Fan then realized that his earlier guess was correct: Fan Yuan's luck had been stolen.
The moment he saw Fan Yuan, he felt that she had the face of someone destined for great wealth and honor.
But upon closer inspection, her face appeared unlucky, with a dark aura as thick as ink on her forehead.
Xuan Hong's talismans include luck-changing talismans, and Zhang Fan guessed that Fan Yuan was in this situation.
The eight characters in the chart definitely look wrong.
No matter how you look at it, Fan Yuan has the face of great wealth and prosperity, and even the biggest setback in her life is that the bag she wanted to buy was bought by someone else.
After Zhang Fan's prompting, He Ting said, "My wife's cousin had a lot of bad luck 18 years ago, but her luck changed after her birthday."
She was originally of average appearance but has become more and more beautiful. Now she is a big star and married very well. Her husband is from the Li family, one of the four major families in Kyoto.
The Li family is a rising star. They had some money before, but it wasn't enough to make a difference in the capital.
After the two got married, the Li family first went into real estate, then finance, and now into the internet. They succeeded in whatever they did, and their net worth is now over 10 billion.
Zhang Fan: "The more unlucky you are, the better off they are?"
He Tingchun thought about it and realized that it was indeed true.
My cousin became beautiful right when Fan Yuan gave birth to a stillborn baby. It's true that my cousin's beauty was truly extraordinary.
Her bulbous nose has become a high, humped nose; her squinty eyes have become large, double eyelids; and her thick, sausage-like lips have become cherry lips. Most remarkably, her square face has become a pointed chin.
It's like she's undergone a complete transformation; if they didn't see her so often, they would have thought she'd had plastic surgery.
Furthermore, when the Li family was doing business, members of the He family would either break their legs, get into car accidents, or even trip and fall while walking on flat ground. It seemed like they were experiencing both good and bad luck.
He Tingchun finally believed Zhang Fan completely and hurriedly asked, "Master, what should we do?"
“I have to go out, you guys wait for me. Also—” Zhang Fan paused for a moment, “he really is your child, do a paternity test when you have time.”
Fan Yuan's tears welled up again, and He Tingchun, without a doubt, reached out with trembling hands to touch Li Ben.
The three of them hugged each other and cried for a long time. Suddenly, He Tingchun realized something and took out a talisman from around his neck: "This talisman of mine is the same as Fan Yuan's. Is it also a luck-changing talisman?"
Zhang Fan took the talisman and opened it; this talisman was different from Fan Yuan's.
"This is a talisman, but it's fake and has no effect whatsoever."
Just as Zhang Fan was about to destroy it, he suddenly noticed a strange pattern on one corner of the talisman.
He held it up to the light; the color was very faint, as if it had been accidentally printed on.
This pattern looks so familiar; I feel like I've seen it somewhere before.
A flash of inspiration crossed Zhang Fan's mind.
He took out the Blazing Whip, placed the handle on it, and the two patterns were exactly the same.
It looks like the mark was accidentally stained with vermilion from the whip handle.
Unexpectedly, this matter is also related to the Tianlong Sect.
Zhang Fan narrowed his eyes slightly; things seemed to have become more complicated.
"Master!" Seeing Zhang Fan in a daze, He Tingchun couldn't help but speak, his eyes filled with worry.
Zhang Fan: "Don't worry, I'll take care of it for you."
He Tingchun immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Master."
"boom--"
The sound of thunder came from afar. Everyone thought it was thunder and looked up instinctively, only to see that the night sky was clear and there was no sign of rain.
Just when everyone thought they were hallucinating, a flash of light appeared.
He Tingchun: "Is someone setting off firecrackers?"
Zhang Fan could see as clearly as if it were daytime at night, and his eyesight allowed him to see very far away. He could spot several people fighting from a distance.
Upon closer inspection, it was clear that five people were attacking a woman.
The woman wearing exotic clothing is Chi Fei, and she is being attacked by Ning Qi and others.
Today was the time Chi Fei and she had agreed upon, but unexpectedly, the two groups bumped into each other.
"I'm going on a long trip. You all stay here and don't tell anyone, especially your cousin, understand?"
"I've got it!"
Before she could finish speaking, Fan Yuan saw a shadow flash by, and then her hair was lifted by a gust of wind. Zhang Fan had already disappeared without a trace.
Zhang Fan ran towards Chi Fei at an extremely fast speed. Chi Fei was unable to defend herself and was hit by several talismans. She was covered in injuries and her legs gave way, causing her to roll down the cliff from the hillside.
