"You act like a dog, changing your stance faster than flipping a page!"

The old man couldn't help but curse when he saw Yang Yan's menacing look.

"Cut the crap!"

Yang Yan sneered and retorted:

"Do you really think I should be nice to an old geezer like you?"

"But I advise you to hand over the item obediently."

"Otherwise, when I make a move, things might not go so smoothly for you."

"Ah! It's too late to talk about this now. I can only tell you that the jade is very important to me right now. I can't, and won't, give it up."

The old man sighed gently, and a heavy aura began to emanate from him.

It seemed he was ready to fight Yang Yan.

"Oh? That's quite unexpected. So you're planning to fight me?"

Yang Yan didn't waste words either, as his aura started to slowly exude.

"There's no other option."

The old man said helplessly:

"The jade is really important to me right now. If you could wait a while, I promise I'll return it intact."

"If you're forcing my hand now, then we can only face off."

"Of course, you should consider this: the nerves of those old timers in the Hidden World Arbitration Council are stretched very tight right now."

"They are very concerned about the integration of the Hidden World and the present world. If changes occur due to our fight, they won't stand idly by."

The old man's eyes turned very serious as he finished speaking.

"Don't give me that nonsense. You're the one who took my stuff, and I'm just taking it back."

"If those old fossils from the Arbitration Committee have the guts to come find me, I'll have a nice chat with them."

Yang Yan raised an eyebrow and spoke without any scruples.

"So you really intend to fight me? No room for negotiation?"

The old man looked at Yang Yan and earnestly asked again.

"Return my stuff, and I'll pretend this never happened. Otherwise, be prepared for a good beating!"

Yang Yan truly intended to make a move.

After discovering the jade had been swapped this morning, he was fuming.

Now, with his luck soaring, he finally found the guy who took his jade. How could he possibly let it go?

"I don't know who you are, but I can sense how powerful you are from your aura left on the Emperor's Blood Jade."

"That's why I transferred it onto a brick rather than erasing it completely."

At this point, the old man smiled wryly.

It wasn't that he didn't want to erase Yang Yan's aura; it was just too strong.

Strong enough to exceed his capabilities.

In desperation, he had to transfer it to a brick.

"Finished talking? Are you ready to get beaten up?"

Yang Yan looked at the old man and spoke coldly.

"Heh! As long as I can keep that piece, getting beaten or even killed would be worth it."

There was a hint of bitterness in the old man's smile, but his words were full of boldness.

"Sir, is that jade really so important to you? I heard from Yang Yan that it doesn't have many uses."

"I think you're not simply fond of the jade and want to keep it, right?"

At this point, Zhou Hanyun couldn't help but speak up.

She could see that the jade was genuinely important to the old man.

But she clearly heard Yang Yan say it wasn't that useful.

Moreover, it required quite a lot from the user.

Even Yang Yan had to consider carefully before he could really use it.

As for this old man, in any aspect, he probably couldn't compare to Yang Yan!

"I can only tell you, that thing is currently keeping my grandson alive. I can't disclose anything else."

"Of course, I'll say it again, if you can lend it to me for a while, I'll definitely return it."

The old man knew very well that he was no match for the man before him, so he kept promising Yang Yan again and again.

"How do I know if what you're saying is true or false? What if you run off as soon as I leave, with your ability to graft other people's aura, where would I find you?"

Yang Yan said as he walked up to the old man.

The Emperor's Blood Jade had significant use for him as well, so he couldn't possibly just give it to the old man.

Hearing Yang Yan's words, the old man frowned.

He knew Yang Yan was speaking the truth.

But what's the point?

The jade...he simply couldn't give it up.

If worse came to worst, he was prepared to die!

"Sir, could you take us to see your grandson? If he is ill, Yang Yan is a very good doctor. Maybe he can help."

Zhou Hanyun suggested a compromise as she looked at the old man.

"A doctor? No matter how good a doctor is, what can he do? Can his medical skills surpass those of the Medical Saint who was titled with Hua Tuo and Bian Que?"

Hearing Zhou Hanyun's words, the old man shook his head and refused outright.

Yang Yan laughed coldly:

"Heh, do you really think I can't find it without you telling me?"

"Since you are also someone from the Hidden World, you must have heard of Soul Searching, right?"

Yang Yan was also running out of patience, he looked at the old man malevolently, and his aura suddenly erupted.

Upon hearing Yang Yan's words, the old man's eyes shot with a sharp gleam.

"You dare! Soul Searching is the most forbidden method in the Huaxia Hidden World, anyone who uses it will be pursued relentlessly by the Huaxia Hidden World!"

"Besides, there is a Heaven and Earth Society here. If you dare to act, they won't let you go."

Yang Yan said icily:

"Just try me, see if I dare or not."

"Alright, stop scaring him. The elder is already very old, if something happens, what will you do?"

Standing beside Yang Yan, Zhou Hanyun gave him a hard pinch and said.

It seemed Zhou Hanyun's words eased the tension, as the old man suddenly spoke:

"I can take you to see my grandson. But after you've seen him, you have to lend me the jade for a while."

"Rest assured, I will return it to you. If you're worried I'll run, you can plant a seed in my soul."

"Heh! How much is an old life worth? Can it be worth more than my Emperor's Blood Jade?"

Hearing the elder's conditions, Yang Yan said disdainfully.

Having just recovered it, only to have it taken so quickly, Yang Yan held a grudge over this matter!

Had it not been for the elder's age and apparent lack of malice, Yang Yan would have acted long ago.
