The lackeys did want to take these shards after hearing what Elder Tian said, but they didn't dare come forward since they could see the look on Elder Tian's face.
They were afraid of what Elder Tian would do if they actually came forward to take these Law Shards from me.
So they didn't dare come forward in the end.
I could see the looks on their faces and the way that they kept peeking at Elder Tian, so I stood up for them. They were my people after all, so of course I would stand up for them.
I looked at Elder Tian and said, "These are my possessions, so what I do with them is my choice, right? Instead of bothering my business, doesn't the elder have more important things to do?"
Elder Tian revealed a very strange look when he heard this.
He opened and closed his mouth a few times, but he wasn't able to say a thing in the end.
After all, there was nothing that he could do to refute it.
But the rational part of him just couldn't stand seeing Lin Fan waste these heavenly treasures like this.
Even if they didn't belong to him, seeing these precious heavenly treasures being wasted like this was like tearing a part of him to pieces.
He could have ignored this and just left, but it was impossible for him to ignore it after seeing these Law Shards. They would weigh on his mind and he wouldn't be able to forget about them.
Seeing the conflicted look that was on Elder Tian's face, I couldn't help teasing him by saying, "Elder, do you want these Law Shards for yourself?"
Elder Tian revealed a shocked look as if he had been caught when I asked him this.
He opened and closed his mouth a few times as he stammered, "I, this, no, it's not like that…"
He wasn't able to form a complete sentence, but the complicated look that was on Elder Tian's face was more than enough to show what he was thinking.
He was indeed moved by this and even considered taking these Law Shards from him, but…there was a small part of him that was against it.
After all, the more that they took from Lin Fan, the more that they would be in debt to him in the end.
When the young miss returned to the main sect, then it would make it harder for them to break off this relationship between them…
Wait…
That was only if this disciple of the young miss couldn't match her, but…
He was someone who had broken through to the peak of the Qi Gathering Realm in one shot, so it wasn't as if he didn't have talent. As long as that talent was nurtured, wouldn't he be able to match the young miss and return to the main sect with her?
When the time came, there would be no need to leave him behind and worry about these things.
As soon as this thought filled him, Elder Tian's other side started to surge.
This was the side that contained his desires, the side that had been telling him to just take the Law Shards.
Now that he had found an excuse, that side of him didn't hold back at all until it completely took over his thoughts.
Right, since he could match the young miss, there was no need to hold back and not accept his gifts.
Since that was the case…
With a cough, Elder Tian said, "Are you really offering them to me?"
I couldn't help being surprised when I heard this, but then I quickly said, "Of course, of course, it's only natural that I would give this kind of good thing to the elder. I hope that the elder will take good care of me in the future."
Elder Tian gave a satisfied nod when he heard this.
This was the way to bribe someone after all!
Since he had overcome the hurdle in his heart, Elder Tian no longer held back as he said, "What kind of Law Shards do you have?"
Hearing this, I immediately revealed a smile as I pulled out all of the Law Shards that I had exchanged from the daily store.
There were over twenty of them that I held in my hand for Elder Tian to see, but he couldn't help revealing a disappointed look as he looked at these shards.
I was surprised to see this disappointed look, so I asked, "Elder, is something wrong?"
Elder Tian hesitated for a bit before asking, "Are these all of the Law Shards that you have?"
I was a bit confused when I heard this, but I gave a slow nod in response.
Elder Tian looked a bit more disappointed, but he just shook his head to show that it didn't matter before saying, "None of these Law Shards suit me. I have a lightning cultivation technique, so I'm more partial towards lightning laws."
My face lit up the moment that I heard this before I said, "Is that all?"
Elder Tian revealed a confused look, but he slowly gave a nod.
Seeing this, I said, "Just give me a minute, I'll be right back."
Elder Tian was even more confused when he heard this, but he still gave a nod in response.
I ran back into the house without a single care and then pulled up the system panel.
I went right into the daily store and started searching for something.
It was a good thing that there was a search function in the store which made it easy for me to find what I was looking for.
Without hesitation, I maxed out on this item and bought all of the stock that was in the daily store.
After receiving the item, I ran back out again and went up to Elder Tian to say, "How many do you need?"
Elder Tian was shocked when he heard this, but he eventually said in a calm voice, "As many as you can, it's never bad to not have these things."
With a smile, I waved my hand and a pile of crystals appeared on the ground before I said, "Is this enough?"
