Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

1518 Arguing over the Spirit Tea

At that moment, the atmosphere in the main hall of the Fan residence was heavy. Not long after, Fan Xi, Fan Chunyang and Fan Zheng were also told to head over. As soon as the three arrived, they immediately sensed the heavy and strange atmosphere in the main hall. Moreover, a rich and pleasant fragrance of tea was in the air. The three vaguely sensed a dense fluctuation of spiritual energy from the fragrance of the spirit tea, and their hearts jumped violently.

At that moment, Father and Mother Fan were sitting at the head of the table. The other elders were all there, staring at the unfinished tea with unusually excited expressions. Fan Ping was also there, his face stiff and red. His eyes were on the jars of tea leaves on the main table, and they flashed with excitement, regret, greed and other complicated emotions. He wished he had been the one to personally buy this spirit tea.

“The three of you are here? Ah Yin isn’t back yet?” Compared with Father Fan’s previous attitude, he was very amiable at that moment, and his tone could be said to be even gentler. However, he was actually very excited. When he saw the three of them, he was even more excited. The elders on the side were similarly excited.

Speaking of which, they had just verified the effects of this spirit tea and confirmed that the lucky outer sect disciple had indeed relied on this spirit tea to suddenly advance.

The outer sect disciple was indeed very lucky. First of all, his cultivation level was quite low. Generally speaking, the cultivation resources of the Fan family’s outer sect disciples naturally couldn’t compare with those of the inner sect disciples. The outer sect disciples were mostly ordinary people on the whole, or their cultivation levels were very low. The spirit tea which Ah Yin had bought this time was especially rich in spiritual energy. Whether it was in quality or density, it was far better than the Jing family’s spirit tea. So, Father Fan wasn’t surprised that the outer sect disciple could suddenly advance.

If he drank such rich spirit tea for a long time, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to rise to another level in a few years. Thinking this, Father Fan became even more excited.

The other elders also had the same thought. Thinking of the effects of this spirit tea, they were also excited.

Father Fan and the other elders of the Fan family never expected Fan Yin to be so lucky as to pick up such a steal at a very cheap price.

Father Fan and the elders had also drunk the Jing family’s spirit tea before, but it wasn’t as rich in spiritual energy as the one Ah Yin had bought.

They all suspected that the Jing family didn’t know the value of this spirit tea, which was why Ah Yin had been able to pick it up. Otherwise, the Jing Auction House most likely wouldn’t be willing to sell this spirit tea which had such dense spiritual energy, let alone at such a low price.

The more Father Fan and the elders thought about it, the more excited they became. Father Fan was especially excited. It could be said that his son, who hadn’t done anything good, had finally done something beneficial for the Fan family. Father Fan was happy, gratified and proud. He regretted lecturing his son too much last time. Given how this kid had really picked up such a steal, how could he bear to lecture him?

If this kid were here, Father Fan really wouldn’t be able to help but praise his son.

On the other hand, how could Fan Xi, Fan Chunyang, and Fan Zheng not understand from the excited faces of Father Fan and the elders that Ah Yin had picked up a real treasure with the spirit tea? Something that could catch the eye of the Fan family elders and the family head was definitely good stuff. The three boys were stupefied, excited and regretful.

They were excited that Fan Yin had really picked up a huge bargain, but regretted that they had actually missed out on such a good thing, especially Fan Chunyang and Fan Zheng. The two of them wanted to kill themselves; they actually stuffed such a good thing into someone else’s hands.

If they had known about the effects and benefits of this spirit tea, given Young Master Yin’s generosity, they would definitely have been able to get a bigger share.

Thinking of how they had missed out on such a treasure, the three of them felt terrible. Now that it had been confiscated by their seniors, however, they couldn’t dwell on it.

At that moment, Father Fan asked again, “Ah Xi, tell Uncle, when did Ah Yin say he would be back?”

Fan Xi immediately replied, “Uncle, Ah Yin is on his way back. He’ll probably be at the Fan residence in an hour!”

Father Fan nodded. Although he had learned about the auction from Fan Ping, he couldn’t help but ask again about what happened at the Jing Auction House.

Fan Xi and the others could only recount the events again. Father Fan and the other elders nodded, and one of them said, “When will the next auction be held? Will this spirit tea be there again? If so, our Fan family has to send someone to bid on it as soon as possible. no matter how much it costs! There’s still too little of this spirit tea. It’s also best to figure out the source of this spirit tea!”

The person who spoke was the fourth elder. He had just tasted this spirit tea. It tasted very good and had very dense spiritual energy. He had never looked away from the spirit tea since earlier. There was still some tea left. The fourth elder coveted the spiritual energy in the spirit tea. If it wasn’t for the fact that there were juniors and the other elders around, he would have stepped forward and immediately snatched up the pot of spirit tea and drunk it all.

The other elders all had the same thought. They stared fervently at the rest of the tea and the jars of spirit tea on the side. The other elders and juniors quickly echoed the fourth elder’s words.

At that moment, Fan Ping hurriedly took the initiative to say, “Uncle, elders, why don’t you leave this to me? I’m more familiar with the Jing Auction House!”

As soon as Fan Ping said that, Fan Xi, Fan Chunyang and Fan Zheng immediately understood what this guy was planning. Looking at his anxious appearance, he had probably forgotten how he had mocked and ridiculed Young Master Yin for buying this spirit tea. The three of them snorted inwardly, taking in the unwillingness, envy and hatred in Fan Ping’s eyes.

Fan Xi was about to speak, when Fan Ping suddenly interjected again, “By the way, Uncle, elders, last time, I saw that Brother Yin had more than just these jars of spirit tea. There should be more! It’s best that such good spirit tea is all handed over!”

Most of the elders and juniors immediately echoed Fan Ping’s words, but Fan Xi, Fan Chunyang and Fan Zheng were so angry that their faces turned very unsightly. If they remembered correctly, this guy had disdained this spirit tea before. In the blink of an eye, Fan Ping had set his eye on these jars of spirit tea from Young Master Yin.

Fan Xi, Fan Chunyang, and Fan Zheng wanted to stop him, but couldn’t think of any excuse for a moment. Fortunately, not long after, Mother Fan suddenly interjected, “Elders, I remember that you didn’t believe what my Ah Yin said last time, nor did you believe in this spirit tea. You even stripped my son of his position as heir. I also said that since you didn’t believe him, you can forget about benefiting from this thing if it really is good. Everyone agreed at that time. In that case, this spirit tea naturally belongs to my Ah Yin. Whether it’s handed over or given to anyone else depends on his own wishes. Even if he can’t bear to give it away, no one has any right to complain!”

As soon as Mother Fan said that, not only did Fan Ping’s face change drastically, so did the faces of the other elders and Father Fan. They looked especially embarrassed and nervous, afraid that Father Fan would agree.

At the thought that all this good spirit tea had been left to Fan Yin, everyone else’s hearts ached and their heads hurt terribly, except for a few reasonable elders and Father Fan.

Fan Ping’s face was very unsightly. How could he accept the fact that this spirit tea had been left to that trash? He felt even more resentful and jealous when he thought of how that trash had picked this spirit tea up for a steal. He hurriedly couldn’t help but say, “Aunt, the effects of this spirit tea are extraordinary. I think it’s better to hand it over to someone more suitable for use!”

Mother Fan had treated Fan Ping well in the past. Though he had always been at odds with Ah Yin, Mother Fan hadn’t suspected anything. However, ever since the other party revealed his ill will last time, Mother Fan vaguely sensed how he was repulsed by and would provoke Ah Yin. Furthermore, this kid was a real schemer. A cold light flashed in Mother Fan’s eyes. Just as Mother Fan was about to speak, the great elder said that since it was Ah Yin who picked up this spirit tea, and given what everyone had agreed to last time, this spirit tea naturally belonged to him; it was up to Ah Yin whether he wanted to hand it over or not, and no one could force him.

As for the spirit tea, he suggested that they follow the fourth elder’s suggestion and immediately go to the Jing Auction House to buy it and find the source of the tea.

The great elder’s words were as good as a done deal. Those who were dissatisfied didn’t dare say much. Father Fan was also a reasonable person, not to mention that Fan Yin was his own son. He was naturally very satisfied with this outcome.

Fan Ping’s face turned livid with dissatisfaction.

Not long after, a familiar loud and urgent voice rang out from afar. “Brother Xi, Chunyang, Fan Zheng, where’s my spirit tea? Where is it? Give it back to me!”
