Chen Fan let out a cold shout.
The reason he hadn't delivered a killing blow was his principle of leaving a line for people.
Moreover, the black-robed man before him had an organization called "Dark Night" behind him, and to put it bluntly, he didn't want to stir up trouble.
That was why he was willing to let the black-robed envoy go.
Soon, the black-robed envoy regained his senses. Closing his eyes, he used all his strength and managed to pull out the soft sword stuck in the ground.
He stumbled back two steps.
Grasping the soft sword tightly with both hands, truthfully, he didn't dare to make a rash move at this moment.
Between him and Chen Fan, there was no deep-seated enmity. If he persisted, he might die here.
He chose to retreat.
"Thank... thank you for sparing my life!"
The black-robed envoy cupped his fists and performed a martial world salute.
Chen Fan said the same thing, "Scram..."
Impatiently.
Although the black-robed envoy felt extremely humiliated, he didn't dare to say more, let alone think about the verbal insult.
"Alright..."
As he turned to leave.
Chen Fan suddenly spoke, "Hold on!"
Hearing this, the black-robed envoy froze on the spot.
He was stunned for a moment.
Had he gone back on his word and intended to kill him?
His heart suddenly pounded, almost leaping into his throat for a moment.
Thump...
It thumped faster.
Chen Fan then said, "Pay the door fee!"
Huh?
This unexpected turn of events made the black-robed envoy stumble.
Indeed, he was dumbfounded, his mind buzzing for a short while.
"Al... alright!"
Immediately, the black-robed envoy took out a square jade pendant and threw it to Chen Fan, "This jade pendant will be your door fee. Oh, and also your compensation for emotional distress, lost wages, and so on..."
He babbled on for a long time.
His sole purpose was to get Chen Fan to accept the jade pendant.
Chen Fan glanced at the jade pendant. Its material was decent, so he accepted it directly, "Good, then I won't be polite!"
It was good that he wasn't polite!
By not being polite, he could keep his life.
The black-robed envoy didn't linger any longer and quickly left this troublesome place.
He felt that Chen Fan didn't play by the rules and it was best to avoid his sharp edge.
Not long after the black-robed envoy left, Li Qingmei's call came. Chen Fan refused to answer and hung up. To his surprise, she called again shortly after...
He had no choice but to answer.
Li Qingmei's hurried voice sounded, "Chen Fan, you've been issued a martial world bounty. Leave Lincheng quickly and come back to Jinmen with me!"
"Once we get to Jinmen, our Li family and Yu family working together can definitely protect you!"
So that was what it was about.
This was Li Qingmei's well-intentioned reminder. Chen Fan was not someone who didn't know good from bad. He said calmly, "Mm... I already knew about it!"
"This matter has nothing to do with you. You shouldn't get involved!"
After speaking, Chen Fan hung up the phone directly.
He dismissed Li Qingmei's goodwill as if it were nothing.
Li Qingmei was extremely displeased, cursing inwardly, "Damn it... Chen Fan, why is he so unappreciative!"
Yu Xiaotong snorted, "Sister, do you know how terrifying a martial world bounty is? He is now undoubtedly an enemy to most martial artists in Great Xia. You still dare to take him to Jinmen, you're utterly foolish!"
"It's best not to say such things!"
Li Qingmei frowned and fell into thought, feeling that what Yu Xiaotong said had some merit.
She muttered to herself.
Helplessly, she sighed and shook her head...
Forget it, as the saying goes, it's better to have less trouble than more. It's best not to get involved in this mess!
Because a slight misstep could lead to the utter ruin of the entire family, and that was not something she wanted to see!
