Chapter 37: Little Scammer!

Words were spoken at noon, a fight occurred in the afternoon, and a person left in the evening.

Unfortunately, Chen Guan didn't get to witness it himself.

Because the back mountain was a vital area for Misty Cloud Sect, Yun Yun asked him to stay put. Even the disciples of Misty Cloud Sect only heard the commotion and could only imagine the battle happening on the back mountain.

At first, Chen Guan was quite worried, but after a long time without seeing the intervention of the Soul Hall, he stopped paying too much attention.

It was only when night fell, and Jia Xingtian returned triumphantly from the back mountain that he had the appearance of someone who had just come out of a spa, with only "shuang" (comfortable) missing from being written on his face.

"Chen kid, I didn't intentionally ruin your plan. I was honestly enjoying the scenery in the back mountain. It was Old Yunshan who took the initiative to come out, and I just gently knocked on the door of his secret chamber."

"Besides, I estimated the timing. You should have finished your business before taking action. It's also a way of helping you show your skills. After all, having the strength to back up your words is essential for negotiating business. Without the strength to back you up, it's just one-sided exploitation."

Tsk tsk, Chen Guan didn't realize that Jia Xingtian could talk like this too.

"You didn't use Earth-ranked Dou Techniques, did you?"

"Of course not. I'm not a fool. I won't easily reveal that unless I'm in a crisis."

That's good.

The two of them quickened their pace and chatted all the way, quite satisfied with their visit to Misty Cloud Sect.

At the same time, inside Misty Cloud Sect.

Pill King Gu He was in his room contemplating the information he obtained from his casual chat with Yun Ling, tapping his finger lightly on the armrest.

Two knocks on the door were heard, and with permission granted, Elder Mo Cheng, who hadn't left yet, walked in.

"Elder Mo Cheng, I have been informed by the Elder that you want to exchange a batch of precious medicinal materials for a Blood Ignition Pill. I have agreed to this, but I hope you won't waste my pill."

The Blood Ignition Pill was a fifth-grade pill.

After taking it, one's strength could be greatly increased for a short period, making it one of the favored cards to collect for Dou Spirit and Dou King rank practitioners. Even a Dou Emperor could gain a one-star increase in strength.

Below, Mo Cheng was a bit stunned. When did I ask for a Blood Ignition Pill? Why don't I know about it?

Fortunately, he wasn't genuinely foolish and soon realized what Gu He meant after pondering over his words.

"Yes, yes, please rest assured, Pill King. I will definitely make full use of its value!"

When a pie falls from the sky, you can't afford to miss it.

Although he knew that both Gu He and Yun Ling had their own intentions, it didn't matter. He was happy to accept this opportunity.

As the saying goes "One willing to fight, one willing to endure."

Having received a Blood Ignition Pill, Gu He glanced in the direction of the Holy City through the windows, finding an excuse for himself in his heart.

"I was only cooperating with Yun Ling to win over the hearts of Misty Cloud Sect's disciples. I wasn't aware of anything else."

Three days later, in the imperial palace.

Early in the morning, Chen Guan came to bid farewell to Yao Ye.

Now that everything was ready, he couldn't wait to go out and experience the world.

Although the imperial capital was safe, there was always a lack of urgency, and he couldn't experience the baptism of blood and fire. To speed up his growth, Chen Guan had to go out and seize opportunities.

With his decision already made, when he met Yao Ye, Chen Guan didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.

Yao Ye was sitting at the desk, engrossed in dealing with matters. After hearing Chen Guan's words, she raised her head to look at him.

"I agree, but you can only leave after breaking through to the Three-StarDou GrandMaster level."

"Understood."

Chen Guan nodded without any hesitation.

His straightforwardness made Yao Ye unable to understand. From her knowledge of him, once the young man made a decision, it was challenging to change his mind.

She felt very puzzled.

Fortunately, her confusion didn't last long.

In less than half an hour, Chen Guan returned, but this time, he had already become a Three-Star Dou GrandMaster!

Yao Ye dropped her goose feather pen without paying it any attention, and with one hand propping up her exquisite chin, she doubted her life.

"I'm such a fool; I should have thought of this earlier."

Looking at the slightly smug youth, Yao Ye turned her head away, "Go away. Since you have grown stronger wings now, I can't control you anymore."

In the past, she could forcefully suppress him with her strength, but now, she wasn't even a match for him.

Actually, deep in her heart, she wasn't too worried that the young man would encounter too much danger. He had quite a few aces up his sleeve. It was just that she felt somewhat reluctant.

Chen Guan didn't listen to her and boldly went over to sit opposite her, daringly using his hand to turn Yao Ye's head back.

"Sister, don't worry. I promise I won't get into trouble this time. At most, within a year and a half, no, a year, I will be back. The usual rule, a letter every half month."

Yao Ye rolled her eyes at him, not refusing and accepting the condition.

"Just take care of yourself. The Royal Family can help you less and less now. Do everything within your abilities. By the way, bring Wang Yan and Wang Dalang, the two brothers, with you. You can leave the troublesome matters to them on ordinary days, and they can also assist you in some tasks."

"Can I trust them?"

"No problem. They were the ones who protected you after you disappeared in the Magic Beast Mountains. After you went missing, Wang Dalang risked his life to search for you. Of course, for matters that are too important, it's always good to be a bit cautious."

Chen Guan nodded seriously and accepted the arrangement.

If Yao Ye hadn't mentioned it today, he wouldn't have known that some people almost lost their lives because of him.

Although it was their duty, Chen Guan noted this favor and felt less hesitant to bring them along.

"Understood, that's it then. I won't go to Jia Lao's place. Sister, please tell him that I will bid farewell to the Alchemist Guild and Yu Er before leaving directly."

Yao Ye nodded and watched the young man leave.

Chen Guan was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, by the way, Yao Ye, have someone from your side sweep through the Mo Family in Yancheng. They have some dirty business going on, and it's disgusting to look at."

"Okay."

Yao Ye didn't ask much. She knew Chen Guan's temperament well. Since he said so, the Mo Family must have done something deserving of annihilation.

As for the reason and all that, give her five minutes, and she could come up with dozens or even hundreds of them.

After arranging everything, Chen Guan didn't linger anymore. He went to the Alchemist Guild, bid farewell to Yu Er and Fama, met the Wang brothers at the city gate, and then left directly.

During this month, although the common people rarely heard about Chen Guan, the major forces were paying extraordinary attention to him.

Sure enough, as soon as he left the city, all the major families received the news.

Miteer TengShan frowned and asked his steward, "What is Ya Fei doing?"

The steward replied, "Returning to the tribe leader, Ya Fei is currently hosting an auction."

That's right. An auctioneer naturally had to take their job seriously.

TengShan had nothing more to say. The anticipated spark didn't happen. Even after that, the kid didn't come back to Miteer Auction House. It made his little scheme seem so unnecessary.

Fortunately, it was just an idle move, and there was no surprise. It wasn't too disappointing.

In Misty Cloud Sect.

Yun Yun was watching a peculiar duel in the martial arts field.

One side was a Dou King elder, while the other side was an iron lump.

The scene was somewhat strange. The Three-Star Dou King elder couldn't do anything to the puppet, but at the same time, the puppet couldn't pose any threat to him either.

Relying on Dou Qi to transform into wings, the elder occupied the high ground, and the puppet could only hop and jump to launch attacks. And to be honest, it jumped really high, but it looked quite comical.

The more she watched, the more she felt like she was being tickled and almost laughed out loud.

Just at that moment, Yun Yun received a letter, and after glancing through it, she was so angered that even with her cultivation, she clenched her silver teeth and couldn't help but curse out loud.

Didn't he say he wouldn't leave the imperial capital for a few years?

"You little trickster!"
