Ten million for a single entry pass, not everyone could afford it.
As Nan Zi'an hesitated, Nan Bai Xuan impatiently said, "Dad, this is the only chance to see the Central Plains God of War up close. Hurry and buy it, buy it!"
Opportunity knocks.
Let alone ten million.
Even if it were a hundred million, as long as she could see her idol, Nan Bai Xuan wouldn't feel the slightest bit of heartache.
Unable to bear her daughter's nagging, Nan Zi'an picked up the phone, "Ceremony entry passes, I want three!"
"What, it's already fifteen million?"
"Increased to twenty million?"
His exclamation startled Qin Xue, who came closer.
Upon learning that the ceremony entry passes were available for purchase, her expression was also filled with anticipation.
Seeing that her aunt was also interested in the ceremony,
Chu Fan thought, if anyone wanted to go in, it was just a matter of his word.
He opened his mouth, "If you guys want to go, I..."
"Shut up!"
Nan Bai Xuan suddenly glared at Chu Fan, "Allowing you to sit here is my utmost patience. If you babble any more, get out."
"Phew, I finally managed to get three entry passes!"
Nan Zi'an sighed.
"A few seconds later, it would have been thirty million each!"
Qin Xue frowned, "Three? Shouldn't it be four?"
Nan Bai Xuan rolled her eyes, "What business does he have there? If he goes and talks nonsense, and offends some War Emperor, wouldn't our family have to clean up his mess?"
"Besides, twenty-five million per ticket, does he deserve it?"
Leaving Chu Fan behind, Qin Xue felt very uneasy.
As she was about to say something, Nan Zi'an said with a displeased tone, "Xiao Xue, this matter is settled. Chu Fan is new here and unfamiliar with the surroundings. He's had a long journey, so he should rest well at home."
"The grand ceremony starts in a few hours. You guys hurry and get ready. Make sure to present your most beautiful selves."
Seeing her aunt wanting to speak but hesitating,
Chu Fan smiled and said, "Aunt, don't worry. If I want to go, no one will dare to stop me. You'll still see me then."
Nan Bai Xuan, who had already turned and walked a few steps away, heard this and suddenly turned back.
"You lunatic, if I hear you bragging again, get out of here!"
Nan Zi'an, who was going upstairs, shook his head helplessly.
A hopeless case, no matter how much you teach, it's a waste of effort.
A few hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Shanhai Manor.
The family of three, dressed in their finest, bumped into Chu Fan right at the manor's entrance.
"Chu Fan, you, how are you here?"
Qin Xue was extremely surprised.
Before leaving, she had clearly told him to rest well as he was new and tired from the journey.
Chu Fan grinned, "Of course, I'm here to attend the grand ceremony!"
"Heh, you're here to attend the ceremony?"
"Haven't you looked at yourself in the mirror? Do you look like someone qualified to attend the ceremony?"
"Twenty-five million for an entry pass, do you have it?"
Nan Bai Xuan held the entry pass and shook it up and down.
If it weren't for the many socialites and wealthy individuals present, and if she didn't want to appear unseemly, she would have slapped the entry pass onto Chu Fan's face and made him recognize reality.
Chu Fan's expression remained calm.
"I said, if I want to get in, no one can stop me!"
"Besides, this grand ceremony wouldn't be held without me!"
"Enough!"
Nan Zi'an glared at Chu Fan in anger.
Ever since he realized Chu Fan was beyond help, he had been extremely disgusted by his arrogant and presumptuous words and actions.
What kind of place is this?
Who are the people around?
It was one thing to act wild at home, but to come to this place and embarrass himself?
"Zi'an, be careful of your words!"
"Exactly, the Five Great War Emperors are inside. Rumor has it their ears can detect any sound within a hundred meters."
"This young man's courage is truly extraordinary!"
"Zi'an, you must be careful, lest someone retaliate against you!"
...
Various remarks continuously entered their ears.
Nan Bai Xuan lowered her head, gritting her teeth and cursing inwardly.
Qin Xue's expression was also very unsightly, not knowing how to change Chu Fan's habit of boasting.
Nan Zi'an's eyes reddened, staring intently at Chu Fan as if he wanted to devour him alive.
He had initially hoped to shine at the ceremony.
Before even entering the door, they had become a laughingstock.
Truly, he hadn't consulted the almanac before going out.
"What are you all doing up front? Is this a marketplace? The ceremony is about to start, don't block the way."
"Exactly, even if you want to ride the coattails of popularity, you need to consider the occasion. Is this a place where you can use it to gain attention?"
Impatient calls came from behind.
"I'll deal with you when we get back!"
Nan Zi'an muttered to himself, signaling his daughter to go in first and not to block the way.
The Five Great War Emperors and distinguished guests were inside the manor. If they continued to obstruct, they would attract the attention of the Five Great War Emperors, and the losses today would be immense.
"Without an entry pass, how do you expect to get in?"
Nan Bai Xuan sneered at Chu Fan.
Qin Xue opened her mouth and whispered, "Xiao Fan, the rules here are very strict, you can't get in without an entry pass."
"Why don't you just go back first? I'll accompany your uncle and Xiao Xuan for a tour and then come back to find you."
She believed Chu Fan had come here because he was bored staying home alone.
He had just returned from abroad, had no friends, and only knew her, his aunt.
Leaving him at home was indeed a bit inappropriate.
"Okay, Aunt!"
Chu Fan immediately nodded.
This grand ceremony was organized by him, and entry passes could be bought with money.
Those who attended were all presentable.
He pulled out his phone, "This ceremony is boring, cancel it!"
The people around heard this and burst into laughter.
"Mr. Nan, isn't your friend a lunatic?"
"If you can't get in, you can't get in, but you're saying the ceremony is boring and should be canceled?"
Nan Zi'an's face was so grim it could drip water.
Nan Bai Xuan even explained loudly, "He's just a lunatic. We don't know him, and he has nothing to do with us!"
To speak such wild words in this place, besides a lunatic, truly no one else would dare to say so.
Inside the manor, there was joy everywhere.
Nan Zi'an saw many old acquaintances and was chatting with them to gather information. Suddenly, War Emperor Hall guards rushed out from the depths of the manor, forming an eight-character formation.
The ceremony was about to begin!
Everyone's expressions were excited, craning their necks and looking towards the depths of the manor.
"Everyone, I sincerely apologize, there's been an unexpected situation. The ceremony is canceled, please return!"
What?
The ceremony is canceled?
Countless people who had spent a huge amount of money to buy entry passes and enter the manor were stunned.
After spending so much money, it ended before it even began.
A commotion erupted at the scene.
"Hmph!"
A cold snort came from the nose of a War Emperor Hall elite.
The icy aura made everyone's scalps tingle and their spines chill. They dared not breathe.
No one dared to go against the War Emperor Hall.
"I heard the ceremony was canceled because a distinguished guest was unhappy and said the ceremony was boring."
The family of three stared at each other in a daze.
Did that lunatic really get it right?
Nan Bai Xuan's face turned ashen, unable to accept the reality.
Was he really the so-called distinguished guest?
He made a phone call, saying the ceremony was boring and asking to cancel it.
And the ceremony was indeed canceled due to the distinguished guest finding it boring.
The family of three, Qin Xue, felt as if struck by lightning as they pondered, unable to help but speculate whether Chu Fan was truly a distinguished guest.
"Coincidence, it must be a coincidence."
"A blind cat catching a dead mouse."
"A lunatic like that, no matter how you look at it, couldn't possibly be a distinguished guest."
Nan Bai Xuan was significantly stimulated.
