Forget it if it's an ordinary family. In a place like the royal family where the jungle is the dominant force, the eldest son is still the eldest son. With such a poor physical condition, the future will definitely be quite miserable.
Hearing this, he felt even more surprised.
What special events did he experience that made him become the prince he became?
Thinking of what Miss Cai Die said before, Chen Fan was thoughtful and made some guesses.
The masked man continued:
"Later, after Liu Lun went to a secret place, everything changed. Not only did he regain his health, but he also gained a strong enough energy and foundation!"
"What's even more interesting is that since his physical recovery, a talented young man secretly trained by the Zhao family has disappeared..."
"Liu Lun, who was originally mediocre and sickly, became the most talented among his many brothers and sisters. Although he is not the strongest yet, with the support of the Zhao family, he has stabilized his status as the heir apparent..."
When Chen Fan heard this, he narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but guess:
"You mean...the Zhao family helped the prince replace the young man's talent and foundation through secret means?"
The masked man's eyes curved into crescent moons again, and he smiled: "This is your guess. What exactly happened in the first place? I don't know."
Chen Fan frowned again, his thoughts in his mind were confused, and he shook his head and said: "How can there be such an exaggerated effect in the world? If so, then the Zhao family would have become the only one in the world!"
The masked man shook his head: "This method cannot be used without restrictions. It must have some special restrictions, and this condition is definitely not easy to achieve..."
"Even if the prince had such an opportunity in the first place, it might just be a 'dead horse treated as a living horse doctor', and the Zhao family regarded it as an attempt. However, he succeeded and everything is different."
Chen Fan frowned again when he heard this and nodded: "What happened next?"
The masked man said: "The later prince stabilized the heir apparent and received the support of the Zhao family, so he began to recruit and cultivate geniuses. Most of these people are civilian geniuses who do not have the support of big families."
"A few years ago, the new emperor ascended the throne and Liu Lun became the prince. He received more blessings from the emperor's energy and was specially supported by the Zhao family. He still often recruits geniuses... He especially likes civilian geniuses."
Having said this, Chen Fan naturally understood the subtext of his words.
What makes Chen Fan even more sad is...
He was already inclined to believe what the masked man said.
The prince's kindness to him was indeed sincere, which Chen Fan had felt before, but behind this abnormal kindness, there were indeed other things mixed in.
Even Cheng Caiying, whom he was familiar with, was a genius with a not-so-prominent family background.
The prince is not a philanthropist. It is unknown how much resources are wasted to support civilian geniuses. There is a reason for him to get such generous support from the Zhao family when he has reached this point!
After you get the answer you want.
Chen Fan cut off the communication stone, and with a thought, a white cat floated from his body.
"What do you think, Master Bai?"
The white cat yawned and said:
"There are indeed many methods in the world that can devour other people's talents and foundations and turn them into one's own. However, no matter which one, there are great limitations and disadvantages, and it is impossible to completely absorb all the talents and strengths of the other party... …”
"Anyway, you have to pay attention."
When Chen Fan heard this, his eyes became extremely cold.
To be honest, with his current strength and equipment, he is really not particularly afraid of the prince having any special thoughts towards him.
Not to mention that the prince is so weak, even if he can mobilize immortal masters, Chen Fan may not be able to defeat him, but he is confident that he can escape!
"With Bai Huangjia and Xiaodie here, even if Chen Wudao takes action himself, don't even think of killing me!"
Chen Fan is very confident.
As for his ultimate strength, in Daqian, except for a few immortal masters and the emperor of Daqian who is as immortal as him, there is nothing to fear.
In fact, although the prince has a high status, it is impossible to mobilize immortal-level masters. Even when facing Wen Siyuan, who is in the Dao Fruit Realm, he is extremely respectful and polite.
Daqian refers to the major families, and the major top forces have immortal masters. The royal family may have one or two, but I am afraid that even the emperor cannot easily command them, let alone the prince.
However, although Chen Fan was not afraid of him, he had to admit that he was complicated inside.
"Your Highness, you must never let me down..."
There was also a flash of determination in his eyes.
…
Inside the Hall of Stars.
Chen Fan was facing the various ores piled up into a hill in front of him.
Master Bai threw himself on the hill, extremely excited:
"With these ores, I should be able to recover part of my strength. Whether it is defense or amplification effect, it will be greatly improved. Boy Chen Fan, I will never let you down!"
It immediately opened its mouth and swallowed the ores one by one.
Then he burped and suddenly spit out a lot of ore from his mouth.
"Master Bai, what happened?"
Chen Fan couldn't help but asked in surprise when he saw such a scene.
The minerals spat out from Master Bai's mouth were all of the same type, each one as crystal clear as a sapphire.
Probably 10 to 20 yuan, at least dozens of kilograms.
This thing is Blue Tears Ore, which is also one of the more precious ores purchased by Chen Fan. These dozens of kilograms of Blue Tears Ore are worth tens of thousands of crystals.
Master Bai looked at the batch of blue ore in front of him, shook his head and said: "Fake goods, all fake, they look real, but eating them has no effect at all... None of these blue tear ores are real! "
Chen Fan couldn't help but be startled.
When he was loading the goods, he briefly checked the ores and confirmed that they were consistent with the description before loading them away.
And out of trust in the Tantai family, he never thought there would be fakes.
He frowned, naturally feeling unhappy:
"Based on my relationship with the Tantai family, they shouldn't cheat me. There must be something wrong with this?"
Chen Fan's face was cold, and he immediately left the Star Palace and headed to the Tantai family's residence.
When I met Tantai Yuheng again, he also bluntly stated his intention.
Tantai Yuheng also looked ugly and frowned: "Is this fake? How is it possible? I, the Tantai family, have been doing business for so many years and have never sold fake goods. Did Mr. Chen Fan misunderstand it?"
Chen Fan waved his hand and took out all the fake blue tear stones in the Xumi Ring.
"There is no problem with other ores, but these dozens of kilograms of blue tears ore are all fake."
Tantai Yuheng also looked at these ores with a subtle but ugly expression:
"Here, I don't know how to judge the authenticity of the ore. Please wait a moment, Mr. Chen Fan, while I ask experts from my Tantai family to come over. If it is fake, sir, don't worry, my Tantai family will definitely pay full compensation!"
Chen Fan nodded.
Tantai Yuheng left for only a short while before he came back immediately, bringing with him a strong old man with a beard.
He has a formidable aura and is obviously an expert.
Tantai Yuheng also introduced Chen Fan:
"This is Master Gongyangzhi, who is also a rare smelting master and ore expert in our Tantai family. All the ore in our Tantai family in the imperial capital has passed through his hands."
Chen Fan also clasped his fists politely: "Master Gongyang."
When Gong Yangzhi faced Chen Fan, a famous person in the imperial capital, he seemed to not know Chen Fan at all. He nodded and began to look down at the ore.
