Be Low-Key

"I have seen the Saint Child." Yu Yue and Xinxin greeted Xiao Fan as he emerged from seclusion, speaking respectfully.
Yu Yue's perception was quite keen, and she sensed the vast aura emanating from Xiao Fan, which surprised her.
"Oh? Saint Child, it seems that your cultivation has advanced again," she said with some delight, seemingly happy about Xiao Fan's breakthrough.
"Huh? No way, Saint Child, you only entered the Sacred Land half a year ago, and at that time, you were only at the early stage of the Gold Core realm. It's already impressive to have a breakthrough in half a year, and now you've had another one."
"The talent of the Saint Child is truly remarkable," Xinxin also said with a smile.
"It's just luck," Xiao Fan smiled.
The most shocked of all was Su Yiyun. She knew very little about Xiao Fan, only that he was a genius with extraordinary talent, enough to become the Saint Child.
But how strong he really was, she didn't know.
Now she understood. Half a year ago, he was at the early stage of the Gold Core realm, then had a breakthrough in between, and now another breakthrough.
So this guy went from the early stage of the Gold Core realm to the late stage in just half a year?
What kind of abnormal cultivation speed was this?
She couldn't help but think of herself. Coming from a good family, she entered the Qi Refining stage at the age of three, but after all these years, she had only reached the late stage of Foundation Building and hadn't even formed a Gold Core.
Compared to Xiao Fan, it was like comparing a fluorescent light to the bright moon, incomparable.
"No wonder this guy said that our backgrounds don't match, it makes sense," she muttered.
'What does he mean by asking me to chase after him? Is he playing with my feelings?' Su Yiyun wondered, praying in her heart not to be toyed with.
Xiao Fan didn't have as many thoughts as her. He thought that since he had been in seclusion for a month, this guy must be getting impatient after only three months.
Alright, let me see what you're up to.
"Sister Su, may I ask why you came here?" Yu Yue and Xinxin stood on either side, looking at Su Yiyun with hostility, especially this despicable fox.
Su Yiyun also felt strange. It seemed like the first time she had met these two, so why were they hostile?
"Well, you said that if I had something to do, I should come find you, so here I am." There were two outsiders standing beside her, so she didn't dare to be too direct.
She could only come up with a random excuse.
Perhaps because of the lie, her face looked a bit unnatural, slightly awkward.
Xiao Fan didn't say much either. At the moment, it was important to pursue the female lead and not make any mistakes.
So he came up with an excuse, "Since Junior Sister has a request, I can't refuse."
"What is it about?" Yu Yue suddenly asked, her gaze deep and focused on Su Yiyun.
Her delicate hand under her soft sleeve was already tightly clenched into a fist, but her face still wore a gentle smile.
Despicable fox! Despicable fox!!
"It's about an auction of ancient relics in Fengning City. I thought the Saint Child might be interested, so I came to tell him," Su Yiyun said.
She came prepared and had already come up with an excuse.
Moreover, there really was an auction of ancient relics happening.
"An auction?" Xiao Fan's eyes lit up.
In the world of martial arts, there were martial arts competitions for marriage.
In the world of fantasy, there were auctions, appraisals, alchemy competitions, and other events that had a high chance of refreshing the probability of becoming a Son of Fortune.
Thinking about the value of the villain points, it seemed that when it reached 1000, there would be more rewards. It was already at 900 now.
Moreover, he had also learned from Elder Xuanji that as a villain, he would face many attacks from the Sons of Fortune.
Instead of waiting passively, it was better to take the initiative and strike first.
"Sure, I also want to take a look. Tell me the details," Xiao Fan said.
Su Yiyun explained to Xiao Fan.
Recently, an ancient secret realm had been discovered, and many ancient treasures were found inside. However, many of these treasures were of unknown origin due to their age.
Those who obtained these ancient treasures were afraid that they would be useless and just weigh them down.
So they put them up for auction, hoping to make some Spirit Stones by selling them.
The people who bought these things were like those who searched for antiques on the street, relying on luck.
By buying these ancient treasures at a relatively cheap price, they might unexpectedly find a valuable treasure.
Those who obtained the ancient treasures but didn't know their use wanted to transfer the risk, while those who bought the ancient treasures and relied on luck hoped to find a rare treasure.
The two sides complement each other, and this ancient treasure auction is built on this foundation.
The more Xiao Fan listened, the more he felt it was to his liking. Son of Fortune always managed to buy treasures far exceeding their selling price at a low cost. The less promising something seemed, the higher the probability they would obtain a precious item.
Then there was a sudden reversal, and they put on a good act.
This auction will definitely refresh Son of Fortune!
My antagonist, the Grim Reaper, is eager to try. Son of Fortune? Just wait to be reaped, hehehe...
As an antagonist, it's only reasonable for me to reap Son of Fortune, right?
Although Su Yiyun is now a Saintess, her family has been wiped out, and her foundation is ultimately insufficient. She needs to quickly improve her strength.
The salary from Sacred Land has already been given to her, and she needs to quickly convert it into power.
The treasures at this auction are undoubtedly the best choice for her.
Moreover, if this guy has good luck and obtains a valuable treasure, he might be in a good mood and return the Shadow Stone to me.
Xiao Fan: "When does the auction start?"
Su Yiyun: "In seven days."
Seven days? That's quite a long time.
Xiao Fan, who came out of seclusion, also found cultivation to be somewhat dull.
After all, I am also a second-generation immortal and a Saint Child of Sacred Land. It's only reasonable for me to go out and explore the mountains, exchange feelings, and have fun, right?
"Do you need to prepare anything else?" Xiao Fan suddenly asked.
"I have already prepared the Spirit Stones. We can set off now," Su Yiyun replied, fully prepared.
Xiao Fan nodded and, in the next moment, summoned a middle-aged man, who was the Void Refining cultivator who drove the Purple Gold Carriage before.
"Young Master."
"Uncle Jiang, I want to go to Fengning City."
"Understood."
After a pause, Xiao Fan added, "This trip is just for fun, so let's keep a low profile."
"Keep a low profile? I understand." The middle-aged man named Jiang left.
Su Yiyun was a bit confused by their conversation. Was there anything else to keep a low profile about during the trip?
"Do we have to wait for that Uncle Jiang?" Su Yiyun could tell that this Uncle Jiang was probably Xiao Fan's protector Daoist.
And he wasn't wearing the robes of Sacred Land, probably arranged by his family.
"We have to wait for a moment."
Yu Yue spoke in a timely manner, "Saint Child, do you need us to accompany you?"
Xin Xi also nodded and said, "Yes, Saint Child, Xin Xi also wants to go out and have fun." She weakly said.
She directly held Xiao Fan's hand, looking pitiful, and glanced at Su Yiyun with a wary look.
Hiss!
Xiao Fan took a deep breath. He felt a warm and soft touch on his arm. This soft sensation...
No, what's going on? Are you also testing my cadre?
Xiao Fan sensed something unusual. It felt like a battlefield. The attitudes of the sisters towards him had changed, from being maids to gradually wanting to possess him.
Moreover, their hostility towards Su Yiyun was too obvious!
The identities of these two sisters were not simple. Even the elders of the inner sect had to nod and bow to them. Being maids was probably just a hobby.
That's why Xiao Fan didn't deal with them. It's not that he didn't want to, but he didn't dare!
Let's stop here!
Xiao Fan slowly pulled his hand out of Xin Xi's embrace, although he felt a bit regretful.
He smiled and said, "Yu Yue, Xin Xi, I have important matters to attend to during this trip. You two should stay in the palace and cultivate. I'll be back as soon as I'm done!"
The two of them stiffened for a moment after hearing this, but they obediently said, "Yes, we will obey," without saying anything more.
However, Xiao Fan could clearly feel that their hostility towards Su Yiyun had deepened.
After about fifteen minutes, Uncle Jiang returned.
Su Yiyun originally thought it would be a bit troublesome, but after seeing the situation, she couldn't help but show a look of astonishment and turned to look at Xiao Fan. She said, "Is this what you meant by keeping a low profile?"
Xiao Fan earnestly nodded and said, "Yes, it's still relatively low-key."
