The cheers from the crowd upon receiving the Divine Weapon sounded particularly harsh to Zhou Minghui, as if everyone was mocking him.

"Let's see how long you can revel in your success!"

"Even if you get the Divine Weapon, in three days, following Xu Fan, won't you just be marching to your deaths?"

Zhou Minghui cursed coldly in his heart, his gaze towards Xu Fan filled with malice.

Yet, from start to finish, Xu Fan did not spare Zhou Minghui a single glance.

The strong never concern themselves with how the weak perceive them.

In a sense, Xu Fan and Zhou Minghui now belonged to completely different worlds.

This moment, Xu Fan casually instructed the members of the Grey Wolf Team to focus on their cultivation, then turned to head towards the Elixir Pharmacy. Previously, Xu Fan had been so busy that the points he intended to give to Song Ling'er were still in his own hands.

Moreover, the Spirit Gathering Pills needed by the Grey Wolf Team had been completely exhausted. At this moment, Xu Fan found himself missing Elder Yi more than ever...

Now, as Xu Fan entered the Elixir Pharmacy, he indeed did not see Elder Yi. Standing at the counter was not Lin Hong, nor Song Ling'er, but an unfamiliar face.

"Hello, are you with Miss Lan's people?"

Upon seeing Xu Fan, this newcomer immediately broke into a radiant smile, displaying extreme respect in her demeanor.

Miss Lan? Xu Fan naturally did not know any Miss Lan, so he shook his head directly and replied, "No."

"Oh, may I ask what you're here for?"

Upon hearing that Xu Fan was not with Miss Lan, the newcomer's attitude did a complete 360-degree turn, now addressing Xu Fan with a lukewarm tone.

No wonder it's said that the most changeable thing isn't the faces of actors, but a woman's expression, Xu Fan mused inwardly, though his face remained indifferent.

"I'm here to see Song Ling'er, could you please notify her for me?"

Though the alchemy apprentice's attitude made Xu Fan feel slightly uncomfortable, he had weathered too many storms to lower himself to quibble with such a minor character.

The newcomer, although cold towards Xu Fan, was not as malicious as Lin Hong. Though reluctantly, she still went in to pass on the message for Xu Fan.

"The message has been delivered; wait here and don't cause any trouble," the new face, named Xiao Yu, said. Her presence here was, in fact, intricately linked to Xu Fan.

The last time Xu Fan was at the Elixir Pharmacy, he caused an uproar akin to raising havoc in heaven, gravely injuring Elder Yu, slapping Lin Hong and many other women, virtually trampling on the pharmacy's reputation.

Injured and humiliated, Lin Hong and the others took leave early, leading to Xiao Yu stepping in despite her original break schedule.

With the previous incident, the Elixir Pharmacy was leaderless; only Elder Yi remained as the sole heavyweight. The numerous once-proud alchemy apprentices now hid their arrogance, afraid of causing an incident like Lin Hong and meeting the same end.

Xu Fan's principle was always that as long as someone doesn't harm him, he won't harm them. Even though Xiao Yu wasn't very respectful, Xu Fan chose not to hold it against her.

This time, Xu Fan calmly sat in a chair, closed his eyes, and awaited Song Ling'er's arrival in silence.

Suddenly, the doors of the Elixir Pharmacy swung open again, and Xiao Yu, who had been cold towards Xu Fan, was now plastered with a smile as she faced the newcomer.

"Miss Lan, you've finally arrived! Welcome, the elixirs are ready for your perusal," Xiao Yu gushed.

Lan Xinyi nodded slightly, not even speaking to Xiao Yu as her gaze flitted towards Xu Fan. Upon seeing him, she felt a jolt of surprise, her emotional storm stirring again after finally calming down.

What is Xu Fan doing here? Could it be that Xu Fan, in pursuit of her, had already figured out her whereabouts?

What would Xu Fan do next? Proclaim his love publicly? Or use methods like before to capture her heart?

Looking at Xu Fan sitting there quietly with his eyes closed, Lan Xinyi's expression was full of complexity.

Left hanging, Xiao Yu was dumbfounded, staring at Xu Fan with a look of disbelief.

Earlier, she had treated Xu Fan with disdain due to his apparent lack of status; had it not been for his connection to Song Ling'er, she wouldn't have even let him stay.

But now, why did the prestigious Lan Xinyi regard this seemingly ordinary man with such an expression?

Could there be some story between them?

Thinking this, Xiao Yu couldn't help but feel a strong sense of regret, fearing that Xu Fan would seek retribution later.

Meanwhile, Xu Fan opened his eyes upon hearing the commotion, looking at Lan Xinyi standing in front of him with a bewildered expression.

Xu Fan certainly had no idea that his actions at the Divine Arms Pavilion had led Lan Xinyi to misunderstand, thinking he was pursuing her.

"What are you doing here? Don't tell me you're here to buy elixirs coincidentally this time too?" Lan Xinyi questioned with a tone full of suspicion.

Hearing her questioning tone, Xu Fan felt even more baffled.

Though he couldn't figure out why this woman seemed as if she was bristling with anger upon seeing him, that certainly didn't mean he'd always be in a good mood facing her.

"What I'm doing here, there's no need for me to report to you, is there?"

Xu Fan could be incredibly gentle to the woman beside him, even gentlemanly to some strangers, but towards certain inexplicable women, he saw no reason to show a kind face.

However, Xu Fan's cold demeanor meant something entirely different to Lan Xinyi.

In Lan Xinyi's eyes, Xu Fan had realized that ordinary methods wouldn't work in pursuing her, thus presenting a cold facade to pique her curiosity.

Normally, Lan Xinyi wouldn't mind playing along with Xu Fan, as she had unknowingly developed a slight fondness for him.

But now was far from ordinary times; news of Xu Fan being hunted by the Li Family was well-known. Just moments ago, she heard about his upcoming duel with Li Kun in three days.

Though Li Kun was nothing special in Lan Xinyi's eyes, his strength was clearly superior to Xu Fan's.

In such crucial times, instead of seeking to increase his strength, Xu Fan was at the Elixir Pharmacy, going all out to pursue her.

This scene made Lan Xinyi feel both touched and anxious.
