The person who gained the most this time was Su Fan.

The most valuable things in the ancestral land of the hidden Su Family are all with him.

Yan Zi and Jiang Menglong's gains were more or less the same.

With another Martial Arts Grandmaster, a situation like this might have led to a falling out.

However, Jiang Menglong never showed any inclination to fall out. His perspective is more expansive than most.

Since ancient times, there have been many hidden families.

Su Fan and Yan Zi are excellent partners.

Next time there's such an opportunity, he's still willing to invite Su Fan and Yan Zi.

This time, his gains were not significant, not because of any hidden trick, but purely due to bad luck.

Of course, Su Fan did not want to make it a one-time deal. He selected some items from his gains and gave them to Grandmaster Jiang Menglong.

Su Fan politely said, "Grandmaster Jiang, thank you for kindly bringing me and Yan Zi to this place."

"A small gift, not enough to express my gratitude."

Though his words were polite, his actions were very generous.

Originally, eighty percent of the benefits from the ancestral land of the hidden Su Family were in Su Fan's hands, with Yan Zi and Jiang Menglong each getting ten percent.

This time, Su Fan was extraordinarily generous, directly giving twenty percent of the benefits to Jiang Menglong.

Faced with such a substantial gift, Jiang Menglong was torn between accepting and refusing it.

Ultimately, he decided to accept this generous gift.

Su Fan's straightforwardness made Jiang Menglong even more determined to involve Su Fan next time there's a similar opportunity to profit.

The items obtained from the ancestral land of the hidden Su Family were gradually transported back to Yang City by Su Fan.

He and Yan Zi also bid farewell to Grandmaster Jiang Menglong and returned to Yang City.

When Su Fan returned to Yang City, the Little Black Cat was always by his side.

However, the Little Black Cat's disguise ability is quite impressive.

Up until now, only Su Fan knows that this little guy is anything but ordinary.

After returning to Yang City, Su Fan began to digest the gains from this trip.

He indeed has no connection with the hidden Su Family.

The origins of this branch of the hidden Su Family are also very significant.

Their ancestor was Su Hu from the Shang Dynasty.

Mentioning Su Hu, many people might find it unfamiliar.

But Su Hu had a remarkable daughter known to everyone; his daughter was named Su Daji.

The texts left by the hidden Su Family record martial artist-related matters spanning from the Xia, Shang, Zhou, Spring and Autumn, Warring States, to the Republic eras.

These records significantly broadened Su Fan's horizons, giving him more understanding of martial arts matters.

Unfortunately, his Huangdi's Medical Classic and the Hundred Gu Scripture are all incomplete copies.

Some key issues are missing in the records of these two books.

Although these ancient books are of great value, some content needs to be explored through other channels due to their incomplete nature.

The pseudo-Taia Sword, Su Fan also found its origin.

Although it is a forgery, the swordsmith was the principal disciple of Master Xu.

Master Xu was a renowned swordsmith; the dagger used by Jing Ke to assassinate Qin was forged by Master Xu.

Simply put, Su Fan hit the jackpot on his North Lake journey.

Those items he later gave to Grandmaster Jiang Menglong were of little value to him, so he had no real loss.

While Su Fan was studying the antiques he brought back from the hidden Su Family in his bedroom.

Grandmaster Bai Zongze was frightened by the Little Black Cat.

Bai Zongze, living in Villa No. 6, often visited Su Fan by scaling walls and rooftops.

This time, when he leaped onto one of Su Fan's villa walls, he saw a Little Black Cat on the wall looking at him menacingly.

Initially, Bai Zongze thought Su Fan had a pet cat.

After the Little Black Cat released an aura of a Martial Arts Grandmaster at its peak, Bai Zongze was drenched in cold sweat.

Fortunately, no mishap occurred as Su Fan immediately came over upon sensing the commotion.

Under Bai Zongze's astonished gaze, Su Fan picked up the Little Black Cat and held it in his arms.

Bai Zongze looked at the Little Black Cat uncertainly and asked, "Is this an auspicious sign?"

In ancient times, strange phenomena were called auspicious signs.

For example, colorful clouds appearing in the sky, or a pure white deer, a white lion, or an exotic creature like the Little Black Cat.

These things were all called auspicious signs.

Su Fan shook his head, "I don't know either; I brought it out from the ancestral land of the hidden Su Family."

Bai Zongze nodded slightly and asked again, "Is its power real? Or a special phenomenon?"

Su Fan replied very confidently, "Its power is real."
