Chapter 166 - A Close Call (2/2)

However, Princess Miao Miao’s tone suddenly switched, as she said while squinting her eyes, “Although it is true that the Princess loves pills, but my servant here, despite being naughty at times, is quite faithful to me. The Princess shall not hurt his heart. Besides, my servant has earned me quite a fortune of pills, thus, it is reasonable for me to protect him. As for the secrets of the Martial Serendipity Pavilion, you Trading Alliance should stop pursuing them Let’s call it an end for now.”

She even waved her hand after finishing her sentence, pretending to behave maturely.

Qin Nan let out a sigh of relief after hearing this but remained speechless by Princess Miao Miao’s actions at the same time.

It seemed like this Princess Miao Miao loved to bring him despair, before showing him hopes, like an exciting rollercoaster ride.

The white-shirted lady in the palanquin remained silent for a while, before she calmly said, “If the Princess insists, I shall not demand further. That being said, from today onward, Qin Nan will not be permitted to enter any auction held by the Trading Alliance. If he does, the Trading Alliance will hunt him down. Of course, if Brother Qin Nan has a change of mind, you are welcome to trade the secrets of the Martial Serendipity Pavilion with the Trading Alliance. If the secrets are worth it, the Trading Alliance will fulfill your wish as best as we can.”

After saying this, the white-shirted lady commanded, “Raise the palanquin, we’re going back.”

The eight silver-plated warriors uttered a cry and raised the palanquin before rapidly leaving the scene.

The four Martial Emperor experts and the old lady in the air gave Qin Nan a glimpse before they, too, left the place.

The crowd collected their thoughts after seeing the withdrawal of the Trading Alliance before glancing at Qin Nan.

Initially, the Trading Alliance wished to befriend Qin Nan by gifting him a Golden Sacred Badge but he ended up being blacklisted.

They could not help but gave Qin Nan a pitiful look. It was quite a loss for anyone to be forbidden from entering the auctions of the Trading Alliance.

Qin Nan, though, remained expressionless. To him, what happened in the Martial Serendipity Pavilion was uncomparable to being blacklisted.

“Hmm?” Qin Nan’s gaze fell upon Fang Lin’s group of three and calmly said, “Judging from your looks, it seems like your sects are planning to have a brawl here? Well, that’s reasonable, since I’ve obtained important secrets from the Martial Serendipity Pavilion, your sects would be more than happy to learn them, too.”

Fang Lin and the elders’ faces stiffened, as their lips began to twitch.

What does he mean by that?

Even the Trading Alliance was being intimidated by the presence of Princess Miao Miao. They would not dare to use violence here even if they were given guts the size of the Heaven!

It was clear that Qin Nan’s intention was to slap their faces.

“No, not at all. Please don’t misunderstand…”

Fang Lin and the others were filled with a sense of hopelessness, as they forced a smile on their faces and backed off to forfeit the surrounding formation.

Zhang Taiyi was extremely excited to see the three elders hitting their heads against a brick. If he were more familiar with Princess Miao Miao, he would not miss this opportunity to bully the three sects with her help.

He did get picked on when the trial of Martial Serendipity Pavilion had started.

Qin Nan withdrew his gaze and glanced at Huang Long, Xu You, Mo Zishan and Da Hu, before he waved his hand and said, “I’ve got too many Fruits of Power on me. Here, one for each of you. It’s better than nothing if you exchange them with other materials. As for Huang Long, since you’ve passed two rounds, you won’t need it anymore.”

Xu You, Mo Zishan, and Da Hu were stunned looking at the Fruits of Power that Qin Nan gave them.

There was no doubt about the value of the Fruit of Power.

After seeing the three standing still, Qin Nan said with an unpleasant tone, “What? One Fruit of Power is not enough for you guys?”

Xu You and the rest immediately shook their heads, before letting out a smile. They then took one Fruit of Power each without any hesitation.

Previously, after seeing Qin Nan turning the tide and becoming the top genius among the top four sects, they could not help but feel a sense of distance from him.

Although they clearly understood that from today onward, the distance between them and Qin Nan would only grow further away, his actions now had no doubt brought warmth to their hearts.

Despite the differences in their strengths, at least in Qin Nan’s heart, they were still his friends.

“You have my thanks!”

Xu You, Mo Zishan, and Da Hu spoke at the same time, with faces filled with sincerity.
