Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

1519 Ah Yin, Did You Advance?

“Young Master Yin!” Fan Xi, Fan Chunyang and Fan Zheng immediately called out in unison when they heard Fan Yin’s voice.

Sure enough, they saw a familiar figure at the entrance of the main hall. The three of them were overjoyed.

Because of the spirit tea, Father Fan and the elders who didn’t like Fan Yin were very welcoming when they heard his voice, while the great elder and Mother Fan were still as benevolent and gentle with him as ever.

Father Fan couldn’t wait to summon his son who had made him proud, and his tone was no longer as grim as before. “Brat, you’re finally back?”

Although his words were about the same as usual, his tone was very gentle. Fan Yin was so shocked that he paused and looked at his father with wide eyes, wondering if he had been switched out with another person. Otherwise, why would he suddenly speak to him in such a gentle voice?

Fan Yin’s face was strange, and he immediately looked at Fan Xi and the others, who motioned for him to look at the table. Fan Yin looked up and saw the familiar spirit tea next to his father. Wait, why was there a rich and pleasant fragrance of tea in the hall, and a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy?

Fan Yin didn’t figure it out for a few seconds at first. Wait, could it be that his father and the other elders of the Fan family knew that this spirit tea was good stuff, and wanted to snatch it from him?

Fan Yin was now very sure that the spirit tea which he had bought from the Jing Auction House was definitely good stuff. Thinking this, Fan Yin’s face changed drastically and he immediately said to Father Fan, “Dad, that’s my spirit tea. Why is it on the table? If there’s nothing else, I’ll take it away first.”

Fan Yin didn’t have time to play nice with his father and the other elders now. It was impossible for him to suffer a loss, not to mention that last time, because of the spirit tea, the elders and Fan Ping had deliberately picked a fight to settle accounts with him. There was no reason for him to let the other party continue stepping on him after finding out that the spirit tea was good stuff. So, Fan Yin didn’t even think and prepared to pick up the spirit tea and leave.

As soon as Fan Yin said that, the faces of the other elders and Fan Ping, who had different thoughts, changed drastically again. Although Father Fan had just agreed that this thing belonged to Fan Yin, everyone was well aware of the benefits of this spirit tea. No one could bear to let this good thing all go to Fan Yin, especially those who didn’t get along with him, and they hoped to make him change his mind.

Without waiting for Fan Yin to leave, Fan Ping’s face turned ugly again. He forced a smile and hurriedly said, “Brother Yin, someone happened to drink the spirit tea just now and suddenly advanced. This spirit tea is indeed a rare good thing. It’s all thanks to your discerning eye that you were able to buy this spirit tea. It can be considered a good thing for the Fan family. But since this spirit tea is so useful, Brother Yin, I don’t know if I should say something.” Although he said that, Fan Ping didn’t pause even for a moment, for fear that the other party would refuse to listen to him. He immediately said, “Not only is the spiritual energy in this spirit tea dense, it’s very beneficial to cultivators of ancient martial arts like us. Can’t we give this spirit tea to those in the Fan family who need it and have potential? Perhaps many more of our Fan family will advance soon!”

No matter how resentful Fan Ping was, he was all smiles as he looked at Fan Yin. Those who didn’t know better would really think that the two cousins had a good relationship.

Fan Yin, Fan Xi, Fan Chunyang and Fan Zheng, who knew Fan Ping’s true colors, were all taken aback by his pompous words.

They were so angry that they laughed. Back then, the other party had tried his best to use the spirit tea to persuade Father Fan and the other elders to accuse Young Master Yin of not doing proper business and even strip him of his position as heir.

Now that he had found out that this spirit tea was indeed good stuff, he was doing everything he could to coax Young Master Yin into handing over the spirit tea in the name of the Fan family. He even deliberately forgot his previous doubts about Young Master Yin and pretended that nothing had happened.

It had to be said that Fan Ping had always schemed against Young Master Yin. Moreover, this person’s words might sound really pleasant to the ear, but always contained a trap; if Young Master Yin refused now, he wouldn’t offend just Fan Ping, but everyone in the Fan family. If Young Master Yin agreed, however, he would be the one to suffer. Fan Ping, who had disgusted Young Master Yin before, might even get a lot of the spirit tea.

Fan Ping was simply too much of a schemer.

If Fan Xi and the others could see through Fan Ping’s thoughts, so could Fan Yin. Just as Fan Xi and the others were worried that Young Master Yin would offend everyone else in the Fan family by refusing Fan Ping, and wanted to remind him of what Father Fan had agreed to before, Young Master Yin replied, “Okay!”

When Fan Yin said that, Fan Xi, Fan Chunyang and Fan Zheng thought they had misheard. After all, Young Master Yin had never suffered a loss. How could he agree to Fan Ping’s suggestion so easily?

Could it be that Young Master Yin couldn’t see through Fan Ping’s thoughts?

Their faces changed drastically. Fan Ping was also stunned for a moment, but at the same time, he was happy in his heart. He had schemed so much just to covet this spirit tea, and he didn’t want this trash, Fan Yin, to benefit from it.

If he had known that this spirit tea was indeed so effective, he would have bought it first. Thinking this, Fan Ping was filled with regret.

Fan Ping made up his mind to personally go to the next auction to buy this spirit tea.

Thinking this, Fan Ping continued happily, “Brother Yin is indeed a member of the Fan family. He’s wholeheartedly thinking of them.”

After listening to Fan Yin’s agreement, Father Fan and the other elders were also very gratified, especially Father Fan. Seeing that his son was so righteous, he was overjoyed and in disbelief.

Father Fan was well aware of his son’s character. This kid couldn’t take a single loss. Father Fan was very happy and surprised at how righteous he was. In a rare moment, he took the initiative to lower his head and say that he had misunderstood his son last time. He even said that Fan Yin was still the Fan family heir, and specially praised, “Kid, you’ve become much more sensible!”

Fan Yin pursed his lips and couldn’t be bothered to listen to his father at all.

No matter how resentful Fan Ping and the third elder were, they couldn’t say anything at that moment. After listening to Father Fan, Fan Ping was so angry that his face turned ashen, and the smile he had just squeezed out was swept away. It was as ugly as could be. He could only grit his teeth and comfort himself that there would still be opportunities in the future. He didn’t believe that Fan Yin’s luck would always be so good!

The great elder and a few other elders also praised Fan Yin repeatedly. Father Fan confirmed again, “Ah Yin, in that case, we’ll hand the spirit tea here over to the Fan family!”

Father Fan originally wanted to ask for the rest of the spirit tea, but as an elder, he couldn’t ask a junior for something, let alone his own son, so he could only tacitly agree that only the spirit tea on the table would be confiscated.

Just as Fan Ping was about to speak, Fan Yin beat him to it and nodded at the great elder. “Great Elder, Dad, I’m willing to hand over all the spirit tea on the table, but I want that Golden Lotus to belong to me alone. Of course, I’ll pay for it myself when the time comes. If that Master can really refine an Advancement Pill for me, the Fan family can’t make me hand it over, like with the spirit tea. It’s all mine!”

Mother Fan immediately echoed her son. “Ah Yin is right. Our Fan family can’t go back on our word. If I remember correctly, all the elders agreed last time that this spirit tea would only belong to Ah Yin. Fortunately, my son is sensible and is willing to hand it over!”

Mother Fan’s tone was a bit mocking.

Except for the great elder, Father Fan, the other elders of the Fan family and Fan Ping were a bit embarrassed when they heard Mother Fan’s words. Father Fan couldn’t help but give Mother Fan a look. Mother Fan didn’t care at all. What she cared about was that her son couldn’t suffer any more losses.

Before Father Fan could reply, the other elders agreed. “Okay, that Golden Lotus is yours, Ah Yin! No matter which alchemist you ask to refine the Advancement Pill, it belongs to you!”

It was mainly because the elders didn’t think that Fan Yin, this rascal, could really find an expert to refine the Advancement Pill for him.

The formula for the Advancement Pill was very rare now, and the chances of successfully creating one were very low; it was probably useless even with a Golden Lotus. No matter how lucky Fan Yin was, he could forget about an Advancement Pill. As for encountering some expert who had promised him four Advancement Pills, he had most likely been tricked.

Fan Ping frowned slightly. He keenly sensed that something wasn’t right with Fan Yin, but couldn’t see what it was.

At that moment, Fan Yin chuckled and said, “Then, thank you, elders! Okay, it’s getting late; I’ll leave first! Dad, I’ll get lost first. I won’t disturb your discussion!”

Fan Yin suppressed his excitement and was about to leave, when the great elder saw with his sharp eyes something unusual about Fan Yin’s body. When he sensed the change in his cultivation, the great elder’s eyes widened in disbelief and excitement. “Wait, Ah Yin, you’ve advanced. No… that’s not right, how did your cultivation advance to level 6?”
