Chapter 1356: This treasure is priceless

Chapter 1356 This treasure is priceless

Lin Fan's eyes were a little dodgey, not daring to look directly into Gui Xiao's sharp, knife-like eyes. He knew that his request was a bit excessive. After all, he and Gui Xiao had not known each other for a long time, and Gui Xiao had always been known for being cold-blooded and ruthless. Asking him to wait ten days was indeed a bit difficult.

 However, he also has his own difficulties. That woman was too important to him, and he couldn't just leave her alone. What's more, he has already shown part of his strength in front of Gui Xiao, and he believes that Gui Xiao will see his potential and value. As long as he was given ten days, he believed that he would be able to handle everything and return to Guixiao intact.

 However, Gui Xiao had no intention of letting go easily. He looked at Lin Fan calmly, with a hint of displeasure in his voice: "Then if you take the opportunity to run away, what will I have to explain to the sect leader when I go back?"

Lin Fan trembled. He could feel the coldness and threat in Gui Xiao's words. He knew that he could not let Gui Xiao misunderstand his sincerity and determination, so he hurriedly explained: "I promise not to run away and to come back immediately after finishing the work. Although I, Lin Fan, am not a big shot, I also know the principle of keeping a promise. As long as you Believe me, I will never let you down."

As he said this, he rolled his eyes and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind! He remembered that he had obtained a treasure in the Forest of Death before - an ancient sheepskin fragment. This fragment has a mysterious origin and contains some obscure words and patterns. Although he didn't know its specific purpose and value, Lin Fan had an intuition that it must be extraordinary. Maybe you can use it to impress Guixiao.

Thinking of this, his heart moved, and he secretly said: "Fight it!" Then he reached into his arms and took out the sheepskin fragment. He turned around and handed the fragment of the scroll in his hand to Gui Xiao, who had his back turned to him, and said at the same time: "Here, I'll leave this to you for safekeeping. You should believe my sincerity now, right?"

"Huh?" Gui Xiao was facing away from Lin Fan, not knowing what he was thinking. At this time, he heard the hint of looseness in Lin Fan's words and couldn't help but slowly turned around. However, when he saw what Lin Fan was holding, the doubtful expression on his face suddenly froze! His eyes couldn't help but stare straight at the thing in Lin Fan's hand, as if he had seen something incredible!

What Lin Fan was holding in his hand was an ancient and mysterious sheepskin fragment. The fragment shows a dull yellow color that has gone through many years of baptism. Its surface is covered with mottled marks and some illegible words and patterns, giving it a mysterious aura.

Gui Xiao's mood at this moment can be said to have stirred up a storm! He never expected that Lin Fan would have such a treasure in his hands. He knew this sheepskin fragment, and its origin was extraordinary! As far as he knew, this sheepskin fragment was one of the treasures left over from ancient times, which contained earth-shattering secrets and power. For many years, countless powerful people have been searching for its traces and trying to uncover its mystery, but they have never been able to do so. And now this legendary sheepskin fragment unexpectedly appeared in Lin Fan's hands, and it seemed that Lin Fan didn't know its true value.

Lin Fan couldn't help but feel proud when he saw the shocked expression on Gui Xiao's face. It seems that I made the right move. This parchment scroll is indeed not a mortal thing. He suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and tried to sound calmer: "What? Do you know this thing?"

Gui Xiao took a deep breath to suppress the shock and excitement in his heart. He tried to make his voice sound normal: "You...where did you get this thing?" His eyes never left the sheepskin fragment, as if he was afraid that it would suddenly disappear.

"What? You are only interested in the origin of this thing and you didn't say a word about the reply of lending it to me for ten days to do some work?" Lin Fan deliberately pretended to be dissatisfied and curled his lips. In fact, I was extremely nervous, fearing that Gui Xiao was not interested in the parchment fragments, so I really had no choice.

Hearing this, Guixiao was stunned for a moment and then came to his senses. He secretly cursed himself "Damn it" for losing his composure at this time. He took a deep breath to calm down and then looked at Lin Fan and said solemnly: "Okay, I promise you. But you must remember what you said and come back immediately after finishing the work. This parchment fragment will be placed here with me first as your Guarantee." As he spoke, he reached out and took the sheepskin fragment and carefully put it away.

Lin Fan felt ecstatic when he saw Guixiao agreeing to his request. Although he was a little reluctant to part with the sheepskin fragment, he knew that his goal had been achieved. He nodded and said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will be back on time."

Gui Xiao said nothing more and just nodded silently. He also has his own plans in mind. He knows the value of this sheepskin fragment better than anyone else. If he can understand the secrets in it, he may be able to break the shackles in front of him and move forward to a higher level. Of course, he also knew that this matter was urgent and needed to be taken slowly. The most important thing at the moment is to stabilize Lin Fan first and wait for him to come back before making long-term plans.
