911: Chapter 900: Entering True Yuan, Returning to the Original True State 911: Chapter 900: Entering True Yuan, Returning to the Original True State Xu Xiaoqing misunderstood Ning Fan’s request for marriage, but after Ning Fan’s persistent explanation, the misunderstanding was finally cleared.
Xu Xiaoqing no longer let her thoughts stray.
Similarly, she stopped pestering Ning Fan.
After all, she was only teasing Ning Fan out of habit and wasn’t someone unreasonable.
Realizing the matter was very important to Ning Fan, she didn’t press further.
As for why Ning Fan chose to explain and not let the misunderstanding continue, it was because he was genuinely afraid of awkwardness in the future.
He hadn’t even considered such a thing as proposing; though it was embarrassing to admit, it was indeed the truth…
If he didn’t take the chance to clear things up now and ended up stuck in an awkward situation later, it would be far worse!
After obtaining the Nine Souls Jade, Ning Fan shut himself in his room and began studying the seventh piece of the Nine Souls Jade in his hands.
This time, Ning Fan wasn’t in a hurry to absorb the energy within the Nine Souls Jade.
The memories of last time were still vivid.
When he absorbed the sixth piece of the Nine Souls Jade, he almost became trapped in an illusion forever.
After obtaining the seventh piece, Ning Fan decided to err on the side of caution and not rush to absorb its energy immediately.
“Last time it was an illusion; absorbing your energy this time, who knows what kind of trouble might arise.
I’ll just keep you on hold for now!”
Ning Fan pursed his lips and spoke with lingering fear.
Thinking about that illusion, which was almost indistinguishable from reality, and the false memories it planted, Ning Fan couldn’t help but shudder.
Therefore, he decided to put the matter aside for now.
After all, the Nine Souls Jade was in his possession; it wasn’t going to vanish into thin air.
There was no hurry.
A day passed, and Ning Fan arrived at Chen Fengnan’s manor to discuss the matters regarding Teng Yun Geshang.
“Mr.
Ning, Konstantin is dead.
This matter probably has a lot to do with you, doesn’t it?”
Chen Fengnan looked at Ning Fan, his eyes gleaming with knowing amusement.
The death of Konstantin caused a global stir, akin to a tsunami.
Describing it this way wasn’t an exaggeration in the slightest.
Konstantin, a renowned titan of his era, inexplicably died in New York City, leaving countless people wondering who was responsible.
When Chen Fengnan first saw the news, he immediately thought of Ning Fan.
After all, he was one of the people in the know.
Naturally, he speculated that perhaps it had been Ning Fan’s doing.
“That’s correct.
Konstantin did indeed die by my sword!”
Ning Fan openly admitted it.
Killing Konstantin wasn’t something he felt the need to hide.
Even if someone were to announce it to the entire world, it wouldn’t bother him.
In fact, it would only benefit him—his prestige would grow even higher without any adverse effects.
When Chen Fengnan heard Ning Fan’s direct admission, he couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.
What had initially been only a bold guess was now confirmed.
Ning Fan’s strength now must be far more terrifying than before!
“Mr.
Ning, pardon my offense, but may I ask what level you’ve reached?”
Chen Fengnan looked at Ning Fan with awe.
Though they were friends, Ning Fan’s increasing power was putting more and more pressure on him.
But this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing—it was actually advantageous.
Ning Fan was a person of deep loyalty and integrity.
The stronger Ning Fan became, the better it was for Chen Fengnan.
“I’ve stepped into the True Yuan Realm, Returning to the Original True State!”
Ning Fan said with a grin, revealing his current realm.
He was now unequivocally a True Yuan Realm expert, with a piece of Nine Souls Jade still unabsorbed in his possession.
According to Ning Fan’s estimation, once he absorbed that piece of Nine Souls Jade, his martial prowess would likely increase further, giving him the chance to break into the intermediate stage of the True Yuan Realm!
However, Ning Fan didn’t mention this part.
Chen Fengnan was already struck with amazement; Ning Fan didn’t want to scare his friend into a heart attack.
“I can’t believe it.
In such a short time, Mr.
Ning has already become a True Yuan Realm expert.
This truly leaves me… leaves me…”
At this moment, Chen Fengnan couldn’t even find the words to describe Ning Fan.
His growth was simply too fast, bordering on monstrosity—no, it was beyond that, divine!
Ning Fan kept his cheerful demeanor, unconcerned with Chen Fengnan’s current loss of composure.
“It’s said that Umbrella’s Number One is Teng Yun Geshang.
Mr.
Ning, what are your thoughts?”
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Chen Fengnan shifted to the main topic.
The two had gathered to deliberate on matters regarding Umbrella.
Knowing Ning Fan had already reached the True Yuan Realm bolstered Chen Fengnan’s confidence significantly in opposing Umbrella.
With Ning Fan on their side, defeating Umbrella was no longer an impossible task.
With Ning Fan present, anything was possible!
“Teng Yun Geshang, how should I put it, is a very complicated individual…”
A peculiar glint flickered in Ning Fan’s eyes.
How exactly could this be articulated?
Perhaps one could say that everyone has two sides?
Chen Fengnan looked curious, “How so?”
“He’s an old fox, deeply cunning, with tricks and schemes that never seem to run out.
During my time in New York City, even I wasn’t spared from his calculations.
Yet, there’s one thing I have to acknowledge about him—he sticks to his word!”
Though Ning Fan didn’t particularly like Teng Yun Geshang, it was undeniable that his adherence to promises was a rare quality.
Especially considering Teng Yun Geshang was currently Umbrella’s Number One, his priority would naturally be Umbrella’s interests.
Giving the Nine Souls Jade, such an invaluable item, to Ning Fan as payment didn’t align with Umbrella’s best interests.
Yet, Teng Yun Geshang honored his word and handed it over.
For this, Ning Fan couldn’t help but give credit where it was due!
“Contractual spirit, huh?” Chen Fengnan seemed to grasp something but soon took a different turn in his tone.
“However, this time, Teng Yun Geshang’s visit to Zhonghai must be with a final ultimatum in mind!”
“That’s right.
His target here is undoubtedly me.
When the time comes, I’ll likely be faced with two options.
The first is to join Umbrella, while the second…”
“Opposition to Umbrella!”
Chen Fengnan finished the second option for Ning Fan.
Teng Yun Geshang’s ambitions had now been fully laid bare, outside their ability to escape notice.
“Mr.
Ning, rest assured, the Chen Financial Conglomerate is your steadfast shield.
We will spare no effort to support you!”
