As Su Fan toyed with her soft peaks, Ye Zhaoyi was also discussing serious matters with him.

"Ye Linxi and Kawabata Yanjie, along with others, have now fled to the southern part of Baiyue and allied with the Hu family."

The underground factions in Baiyue are said to be dominated by the northern Ye and southern Hu.

Kawabata Yanjie, Ye Linxi's defeated soldiers, plus the power of the Hu family.

The future situation for Ye Zhaoyi and the Ye family clearly won't be good.

While kneading Ye Zhaoyi's little white rabbits, Su Fan openly asked, "Need my help?"

Ye Zhaoyi shook her head, "Before my third granduncle returns, we can't do anything to them."

"Of course, now that I've taken precautions, they can't do anything to me either."

"I'm waiting for my third granduncle to return before making a move against Ye Linxi and others."

Hearing this, Su Fan asked, "When will the third granduncle return?"

This time, Ye Zhaoyi said a bit helplessly, "If nothing goes wrong, it'll be nearly a year from now."

Su Fan continued to ask, "Where did the third granduncle go?"

Ye Zhaoyi's answer this time was absolutely unexpected for Su Fan.

Because she said, "Searching for a Fangshi."

The so-called Fangshi generally refers to a group of people who played with supernatural elements during pre-Qin and Qin times.

These people either went overseas seeking immortals, concocted elixirs, or did other mystical things.

To people nowadays, they seem like a group of ignorant and deceitful charlatans.

The truth is mostly like that.

But among them, a very few indeed had real skills.

The alloy formula Su Fan acquired was the crystallization of the wisdom of ancient Fangshi.

This alloy formula, throughout the production process, requires Martial Artists to channel True Qi, giving the alloy special properties.

Thus, even with today's highly advanced technology, it's still impossible to produce such specialized alloys like Yin-Yang Xuan Gold using technical methods.

Su Fan's attitude toward Fangshi is also divided into two parts.

Some Fangshi are definitely tricksters.

Another part of Fangshi truly possesses real skills.

The Fangshi the third granduncle seeks is obviously the latter.

But Su Fan is curious, are there Fangshi in modern society?

The answer may not be difficult to deduce.

As of today, some tribes on the African plains still live in a tribal society.

For China, the tribal era was over 5,000 years ago.

Since even 5,000 years later, there are still human groups living in a tribal society.

It is quite normal that in some famous mountains and large rivers, where people seldom tread, some Fangshi legacies exist.

{So here comes the question again, what is the third granduncle seeking Fangshi for?

Su Fan couldn't figure this out, so he could only ask Ye Zhaoyi, "What is your third granduncle looking for a Fangshi for?"

To Su Fan, Ye Zhaoyi probably wouldn't have an answer to this question either.

But Ye Zhaoyi did answer.

Her answer was simple, with only two words: "To save someone."

Upon hearing this, Su Fan became even more puzzled, "To save whom?"

This time, Ye Zhaoyi was a bit hesitant. It wasn't exactly a secret, and she'd already been intimate with Su Fan, so it seemed there was no need to hide it from him.

After pondering seriously, Ye Zhaoyi truthfully said, "To save an uncle of mine, who is my third granduncle's eldest son."

Su Fan curiously asked, "What happened to this uncle of yours?"

Ye Zhaoyi replied, "This uncle of mine, his name is Ye Changqing."

"When he was forty, he achieved the peak of the True Qi realm, reaching the Great Perfection."

"But for some unknown reason, when he tried to break through to the realm of Grandmaster, he suddenly died."

"It wasn't exactly sudden death, more like he turned into a living dead person."

"His body became incredibly cold, as if he were constantly placed in liquid nitrogen."

"But his blood, it's flowing at a very slow rate."

"In any case, Uncle Ye Changqing's situation is extremely peculiar, and no one knows what's going on."
