The two sides, having their own needs, quickly reached a deal.
Afterwards, Zhou Yan successfully traded for many items with many people. This made others speechless, and even Luo Yushuang wanted to rob Zhou Yan.
He had too many good things on him: various high-quality skills, cultivation techniques, materials, equipment, props, and scrolls. It was like a bottomless pit, always able to produce something to trade.
The trading fair continued until 12 AM before people slowly began to disperse.
Zhou Yan’s powerful perception had detected that someone seemed to be tracking him. Wherever he went, those people always followed behind him. When there were many people, he hadn't noticed, but as the crowd thinned, they were still tailing him. Although they were well-hidden, they couldn't escape his powerful perception.
However, those people did not make a move, or rather, they dared not. After all, this was still within the trading fair, and they dared not offend the people here. They were merely staring at him.
When they reached the entrance of the trading fair, those people were still pretending to chat and had not left, but their attention was always focused on him.
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yan said to Ye Bufan and the others, "You guys go back first."
"Go back first?" Ye Bufan looked at Zhou Yan's expression and thought about the many good items he had brought out at the trading fair. He looked at Zhou Yan seriously and asked, "Did you discover something is wrong?"
Ye Bufan felt Zhou Yan was acting a bit strange, but he himself had not noticed anything unusual. After all, those people were only paying attention to Zhou Yan, not him.
Zhou Yan did not want to implicate them because of himself, so he replied, "I have something to deal with, so I won't be going back with you."
He had many means at his disposal. Acting alone, those people definitely wouldn't be able to keep him. If he were with Ye Bufan and the others, they might be in danger.
The people in the shadows were of unknown origin, their strength and numbers were unknown, and he had to be cautious.
Except for Ye Bufan, everyone else actually thought Zhou Yan had something to do. So, Lin Tan was the first to say, "Then come back to the academy early. It's already 12 o'clock."
Luo Yushuang stared at Zhou Yan with her big eyes. She always felt that this kid was hiding something from them. She immediately came to Zhou Yan's side and whispered, "Are you planning to do something bad? Count me in."
"Luo Yushuang, stop causing trouble. You've been in the academy for less than two months, and I've already heard that the head instructor has called home to complain about you more than ten times."
Ye Bufan looked sternly at Luo Yushuang. This girl could cause trouble wherever she went.
"What, there's such a thing? I won't let that Zhang Hongguang off." Luo Yushuang's expression immediately turned unhappy upon hearing this, showing no inclination to correct her mistakes.
"You..." Ye Bufan really wanted to slap her a few times, but he could never bring himself to do it.
"It's a long way back to the academy from here. Are you walking back? It doesn't seem like there's a path down the mountain," Li Qingjin asked Zhou Yan, puzzled.
"Isn't it just flying? You guys underestimate me too much," Zhou Yan replied.
Considering Zhou Yan's wealth, owning a flying magical artifact didn't seem like a big deal.
In fact, Zhou Yan didn't have a flying magical artifact. He hadn't thought about buying one before.
However, when he was out and about, he still needed to buy a few flying magical artifacts. He had already arranged for Jin Sanyi to buy them, so there was no hurry.
"Then, if you encounter anything you can't handle, remember to notify me." Ye Bufan took out his magical artifact.
"Remember to tell me if you're going to cause trouble. I've never been afraid of anything in my life." Before Luo Yushuang could finish her sentence, Ye Bufan grabbed her shoulders and forced her to sit in a seat on the flying magical artifact.
Watching Ye Bufan and the others board the flying magical artifact and leave in the distance, Zhou Yan finally unfolded his Yin-Yang Twin Wings and soared into the sky, flying towards another direction.
The people following behind quickly said, "Boss, that kid ran!"
"Then hurry up and chase after him! I didn't expect him to have such flying skills. We absolutely cannot let him escape."
"We need to resolve this quickly, otherwise, if the patrol team from Ziwei Academy shows up, it will be troublesome."
"This guy is a big fish. If we rob him, why would we worry about not living lavishly? After robbing him, we brothers will immediately leave Ziwei Academy's territory. I don't believe the people from Ziwei Academy can catch us outside."
After speaking, they also immediately took out a large flying magical artifact. Once everyone was on board, they began to pursue Zhou Yan in the distance.
However, they found that Zhou Yan's flying speed was too fast. The leader frowned and said, "Why is this guy so fast? If this continues, we'll lose him sooner or later. Second brother, third brother, let's three go ahead and intercept him."
"Yes, boss!" The people called Second Brother and Third Brother replied immediately.
Three figures flew in the air, chasing after Zhou Yan.
The strength of the three had exceeded seventy Heaven Apertures, giving them the ability to fly. Furthermore, in order to catch up to Zhou Yan, they had taken out several items, which increased their speed by more than double.
The three streaks of light, like shooting stars, rapidly pursued Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan looked back and smiled. If he wanted to disappear immediately, he had plenty of ways. But since the other party had made a move against him, he might as well see how strong he was.
Sensing three energy attacks heading towards him, Zhou Yan saw three red fireballs flying at him. He took out the Shocking Thunder Spear he had just traded for and said, "Let me test the might of this long spear!"
Zhou Yan turned back, holding the spear, and swept out three consecutive strikes, shattering the three energy attacks.
The three took this opportunity to quickly surround Zhou Yan.
"You guys are here with ill intentions," Zhou Yan asked knowingly.
"Kid, there's nothing to say. We're here to rob you. If you're willing to hand over five hundred items of S-grade or higher, we brothers will let you go."
The leader among the three, wielding an axe, was enveloped in a green spiritual energy glow.
"And the spiritual artifact in your hand."
The second brother also used a spear. The moment he saw the spear in Zhou Yan's hand, his eyes lit up with greed. It was precisely because he saw Zhou Yan exchange for that spiritual artifact spear that they noticed him and decided to rob him.
Because they had seen too many treasures on Zhou Yan along the way, they couldn't help but be tempted.
"And the cultivation techniques you took out earlier, hand them over as well." The third brother wanted Zhou Yan's cultivation techniques. He had also seen the other party take out quite a few cultivation techniques during the trade.
"Five hundred items of S-grade or higher, that's a good idea. If you hand them over, I'll let you go," Zhou Yan said to the three, reversing the situation.
Upon hearing this, the three exchanged glances, then burst into laughter, "Kid, we are robbing you, not the other way around. We can tell you are not old, at most you are only at the seventy Heaven Aperture realm."
"With just you alone, do you think you can defeat the three of us experts above seventy Heaven Apertures? Moreover, we have quite a few people. If you are sensible, hand over your things. We only rob, we won't take your life."
This statement would probably only be believed by a three-year-old child. If they robbed someone and didn't kill them, would they wait for them to seek revenge?
If that were the case, then the other party wouldn't be a proper villain.
