Wild Dogs

He left the place following behind the maid.

After the maid left, the smile on the Flower Fairy's face gradually faded.

Instead, he wore a pensive expression.

A moment later, she clapped her hands lightly.

Soon, a maid came out from the side.

"Go and bring me the investigation results for this kid now, I want to take another look."

The maid dared not be negligent and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

On the other side, Yang Fan followed behind Xiao Cui and walked towards the outside of the palace.

As they walked, Yang Fan asked curiously.

"Just how many helpers did your young lady call this time?"

Yang Fan was eager to know how many people the Flower Fairy had invited to break the restriction.

Xiao Cui counted on her fingers and immediately began to think.

"Including you, there should be four people in total."

There were four people in total.

Yang Fan's heart stirred.

"That means there are five in total, including your young lady."

"That's right."

"Can five people break a restriction?"

Yang Fan frowned with some suspicion, feeling that the number of people was too small.

Xiao Cui shook her head.

"I don't know about that; it was all arranged by my young lady."

"However, as far as I know, that restriction isn't particularly powerful."

"It's just that the conditions for breaking the restriction are a bit harsh."

"Young master, please don't worry. My young lady always keeps her word. Please help her, and you will surely reap many benefits afterward."

Yang Fan nodded.

After a while, he followed the female cultivator to a back garden in a corner of the palace.

Looking at the garden, Yang Fan raised his eyebrows.

"I never imagined that there would be such a garden inside this palace that flies in mid-air."

Xiao Cui raised her head with a smug look on her face.

"Of course, our Hundred Flowers Palace is famous for its flowers."

"If there isn't even a garden, how can it be called the Palace of a Hundred Flowers?"

"Don't be fooled by the fact that our Hundred Flowers Palace flies in mid-air; there are several spiritual springs in the entire garden."

"There are even quite a few rare medicinal herbs, but these herbs are all very precious."

"Young master, you should be careful if you stay inside."

Yang Fan nodded.

Xiao Cui led Yang Fan to a row of guest rooms in the corner of the garden.

As Yang Fan approached the guest room, a laugh came from inside.

"It seems the Flower Fairy has brought another helper."

Yang Fan saw an ordinary-looking young man walk out of one of the guest rooms.

The young man smiled and looked Yang Fan up and down, then nodded at him.

Yang Fan also bowed with his hands clasped in greeting.

"I wonder who this gentleman is?"

"My name is Jin Bufan, and I'm here to help Fairy Baihua break the formation."

"Since you are able to come here, your spiritual sense must be quite powerful."

Yang Fan smiled modestly.

"I wouldn't dare say that. I'm not that powerful; my divine sense is just slightly stronger."

Jin Bufan laughed.

"You are too modest. To be favored by the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers, you must be extraordinary."

He gestured for Yang Fan to enter.

"If you're interested, why not come and have a drink with me?"

He raised the wine jug in his hand.

"I have another fellow Daoist here. Let me introduce him to you."

Yang Fan was about to decline.

At this moment, Xiao Cui lowered her voice.

"Young master, you might as well get to know this person better."

"After all, he will be joining forces to break the restriction next, so it will be beneficial for the young master to know about it in advance."

Hearing this, Yang Fan swallowed back the words he was about to say in refusal.

He nodded slightly to the other person.

"No problem, I'll come over as soon as I'm settled."

He glanced at Xiao Cui beside him.

Xiao Cui nodded as well.

"Young Master Jin, Young Master Yang has just arrived and hasn't settled in yet."

"I'll bring Young Master Yang over once we're settled."

Xiao Cui then gestured to Yang Fan and led him to a guest room.

After the two had walked a little further away, Xiao Cui lowered her voice and spoke to Yang Fan.

"This Jin Bufan is the young master of Fengyun Island, which is nearby."

"He has always been interested in my young lady."

"When I heard that my young lady needed a cultivator with strong spiritual sense, I volunteered to come and help."

"But you'd better be careful, he's interested in my young lady."

"Most of the handsome men who approach my young lady are somewhat hostile."

"Be careful what you say then, and make sure he doesn't set his sights on you."

"This person has an extremely eccentric personality; when they think you're good to them, they'll be completely open and honest with you."

"Once they think you're bad, they'll try to kill you at every turn."

"However, he once studied under a master of formations, so he has a considerable grasp of the art of formations."

"If you wish to break the formation, young master, you can also communicate with this person more."

Yang Fan nodded.

"I see."

"Although dealing with these kinds of people is quite troublesome, since we're all going to break the formation together, we'll have to deal with them sooner or later."

Yang Fan didn't have any objections.

Xiao Cui led Yang Fan outside the guest room, and after entering the room, she told him some of the taboos that should be observed in the Hundred Flowers Palace.

For someone like him who is invited to help and only stays for a few days, there aren't many rules.

Xiao Cui only gave a few pointers.

After a long pause, she lowered her voice.

"Since the Palace Master and his wife are both away, my young lady is now in charge of the Hundred Flowers Palace."

"If there's anything you want, young master, you might as well say it sooner rather than later."

"If we can successfully break the restriction, my young lady might give you some more benefits."

She smiled sweetly at Yang Fan.

Yang Fan gratefully bowed to her.

"Thank you very much."

Yang Fan looked around the guest rooms. After all, the Hundred Flowers Palace was a powerful force, and the guest rooms were quite well-built.

After looking around, Yang Fan gave it a thumbs up.

After settling in, Xiao Cui gave some more instructions before slowly leaving.

After Xiao Cui left, Yang Fan took out the King's Banner and then questioned Zhou Peng.

"You should be able to see the whole situation here clearly, so you don't think there's anything wrong with it, right?"

Yang Fan lowered his voice and asked Zhou Peng, wanting to hear Zhou Peng's opinion.

"This maid seems to have a thing for you. If you're interested, you can take the opportunity to flirt with her these next few days."

Unexpectedly, Zhou Peng suddenly said this to Yang Fan.

Yang Fan's expression darkened slightly.

"Oh, so you're teaching me how to do things."

Zhou Peng was startled and hurriedly knelt down to beg for mercy.

"Master, I won't do it again."

Yang Fan snorted coldly.

"You should understand that I'm giving you a chance to live because I hope you'll assist me properly."

"Not that I'm asking you to say things like that."

"Do I need you to tell me whether this woman is interested in me or not?"

Xiao Cui was very enthusiastic towards Yang Fan along the way and reminded him of things he should pay attention to.

Yang Fan could certainly tell that she had some feelings for him.

However, this is a crucial moment, and Yang Fan will not waste time on these things.

"Tell me your thoughts. Do you think the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers' suggestion is reliable?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Peng nodded emphatically.

"I think the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers' suggestion is quite reliable."
