Chapter 1025 Keep Your Head Down

Xiang Nan was very surprised. He knew that Su Ran was in financial straits, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult! I can't even pay for the room.

Crystal Palace was incomparably high-end. Su Ran not only booked rooms for herself, but also for her team members. She even rented an underground training ground.

Together, it would cost nearly 200,000 gold coins a day.

The most expensive thing was still the training ground, and this training ground was precisely the place where she could not retreat the most.

Xiang Nan knew how heavy the pressure on this seemingly strong but actually very pitiful girl's shoulders was.

The door opened and Su Ran walked out with a faint smile.

"What did you talk about?" Xiang Nan pretended not to hear the conversation inside.

Su Ran smiled and said, "Nothing. Everything is going smoothly. Let's go to the arena."

"En, you go out first. I forgot to take something. I'll catch up with you immediately." Xiang Nan said.

After Su Ran left, Xiang Nan pushed open the door and entered.

In the room, an old man was sitting behind a table. He looked up at Xiang Nan and hurriedly said, "It's Young Master Xiang Bei."

"How much did Su Ran owe you?" Xiang Nan straightforwardly asked.

The old man smiled and said, "She has stayed in the Crystal Palace for fifteen days. She owes a total of three million gold coins."

Xiang Nan took out a storage card and handed it to the old man. He said, "There are five million yuan, three million yuan to pay the amount she owes. The other two million yuan is stuck with you, so you can refund more and make up for less."

The old man immediately smiled.

"Also." Xiang Nan said, "Don't say that I paid for her. If she asks, say that an old man from the Heavenly Secrets paid for her."

"No problem." The old man agreed.

Afterwards, Xiang Nan walked out of the Crystal Palace and found Su Ran. The two of them headed towards the arena.

Martial God Card, the amount of free use every seven days is one million gold coins. As long as it doesn't exceed this amount, it will be automatically cleared next week.

In the past, Xiang Nan had earned a sum of money from selling the Origin Transformation Pill, amounting to 20 million gold coins. In recent years, he had spent some money, leaving more than 16 million. Now, he had spent 5 million for Su Ran, leaving more than 10 million.

However, there was one thing that wasn't very good about it. The Martial God Card could only be used for consumption, but it couldn't be used to withdraw money directly.

After the two of them arrived at the arena, there was still more than an hour before the competition started.

Su Ran asked Xiang Nan to wait in the corridor while she went to the office of the arena manager.

Xiang Nan stood in the corridor and quietly heard the conversation inside.

"Sorry to trouble you, but I really need the arena. Let me host a business show tonight." This was Su Ran's voice.

"No way, Miss Su Ran. This is the competition period. The arena really can't be lent to you. Why don't you wait for the competition to be over?" The voice of the person in charge.

"My combat puppets are very worn out. I really need money." Su Ran pleaded bitterly.

The person in charge said, "You spent nearly two billion gold coins on purchasing ten Tianyuan 5-dan combat puppets. Before this, you advanced three hundred million gold coins, but now you still owe us fifty million."

"Please." Su Ran whispered, "As long as you perform tonight, I guarantee that I will pay all the money. However, can I take the money from tonight's performance first?"

"This … I'm really hard to deal with." The person in charge hesitated.

Two billion gold coins was an astronomical figure even for a superstar like Su Ran.

Normally, Su Ran would occasionally sing a song during the arena competition, but it was all an assistant, so she didn't have the money to take it.

The last time Xiang Nan met Su Ran in the arena, he earned 20 million gold coins a night.

This was a very, very high performance fee. In the entire Iron and Steel Continent, only Su Ran could afford such a price.

The second most expensive singer was only one-tenth of Su Ran's appearance fee.

This was also one of the reasons why Su Ran was able to buy ten puppets himself.

But even so, Su Ran couldn't hold on any longer.

Currently, Su Ran urgently needed the arena to hold a commercial performance. Only the scale of the arena could make up for her current economic vacancy. In other arenas, the profit was only one to two million yuan.

"I really can't. Otherwise, you can think of another way." Inside, the person in charge still refused.

Su Ran put away her pitiful expression in front of the door, put on a look of high spirits, and pushed the door open.

"How's the discussion going?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile.

Su Ran raised her chin and said, "If I personally go out, can there be any injustice?"

"When the person in charge heard that I was going to perform, he was so happy that he smiled and blossomed."

Xiang Nan's heart ached, but he smiled and said, "How formidable."

"That's." Su Ran raised her eyebrows and said, "But, um … I can't bother her in vain. I have to give her a present to show her."

"I heard that the person in charge of this arena likes painting and calligraphy the most. Let's go and find a good painting and calligraphy for him."

As the two of them walked out, Xiang Nan asked, "How much will it cost to repair the combat puppets?"

Su Ran said, "Forget it. I'll settle this small matter with my fingers."

"Just say it. Let me broaden my horizons." Xiang Nan asked with a smile.

Then Su Ran rolled her eyes and said, "About 30 million gold coins. It doesn't matter. I'll just have two commercial performances."

The two of them returned to the Crystal Palace. Su Ran returned to his room and took something. Then, he took Xiang Nan to the arena.

When she returned to the arena, she went to the person-in-charge's office.

"Miss Su Ran, why are you here again?" The person in charge said with an incomparable headache, "The competition is about to start. I still have to go to work, so I won't accompany you."

As he spoke, the person in charge was about to leave.

Su Ran hurriedly pulled him and carefully took out a long brocade box from his storage ring.

The brocade box was opened. Inside was a long cloth bag. Layers after layers of cloth bags were opened, and inside was a pair of scrolls.

"Huh?" The person in charge curiously spread out the scroll. Immediately, his eyes lit up, "Ink Mountain Green Diagram!"

In the corridor, Xiang Nan used the Immortal Ascension Technique to float his consciousness into the room.

He saw that the ink painting was signed with the name of the original calligrapher, and a small line of words was attached below.

"To my beloved daughter, Su Ran, on her fifth birthday."

Seeing these words, Xiang Nan's eyes turned red.

"Tsk, are you really going to give this painting to me?" The person in charge fondled the scroll and said, "This painting is a treasure your father truly loves. Its value is around five million gold coins."

"I really gave it to you." Su Ran smiled heartily, "The so-called treasured sword is given to a hero. If such a painting scroll is left in my hands, it would be buried. It would be better to give it to a painting connoisseur like you to bring its greatest value into play."

The person in charge smiled from ear to ear. While admiring it, he said, "Good, good, good. What a good thing."

"Since Miss Su Ran is so sincere, then what about tonight's performance … I'll help you prepare some."

"Thank you so much." Su Ran was excited and kept bowing to the person in charge.

A penny was difficult to defeat a hero, but behind Su Ran's bright figure, there was an unknown sad side.

Everyone could only see that she was filled with high spirits and was doted upon by thousands of people. However, facing those enormous clans and official forces, she was only a commoner and a singer.

She also had the side of lowering her head and kneeling in front of others, but she only stayed in the shadows.

When she stood in the sunshine again, her voice was still loud and clear, and her face was still full of smiles.

Although she was only a commoner, she was stronger than most of the martial artists that Xiang Nan had seen.
