Outside the main hall, the three Great Moon Province cultivators were anxiously waiting. The surrounding Scarlet Star cultivators would glance over from time to time, their eyes filled with malicious intent.
This situation caused Meng Hong and the others to feel uneasy, but they were unable to do anything about it.
The door to the main hall was tightly shut, so he didn’t know what was happening inside, but Meng Hong could faintly feel that Yang Kai and Yue He were heading to a dragon’s pool or tiger’s den.
Just as Meng Hong and the others were feeling anxious, the door to the hall suddenly opened.
Meng Hong’s expression brightened as he quickly looked up and saw Yang Kai leading the way, Yue He following closely behind, and a middle-aged man with a somewhat friendly face accompanying him. The middle-aged man wore a strange and loose robe, his face somewhat pale as he wore a smile.
When they got closer, they heard the middle-aged man say, “Sixth Manager, Seventh Manager, please stay in the inn for a few days and wait for my people to finish packing up before moving over. If the two of you have any requests, please feel free to ask. I’ll have my people arrange them.”
Yang Kai smiled lightly, “Do as you please, there are no special requirements.”
The middle-aged man said, “Then this Chen will make the arrangements. When the time comes, if the Sixth Manager and Seventh Manager don’t like it, we can change them.”
“Thank you, Manager Chen!” Yang Kai cupped his fists.
The middle-aged man returned the greeting, “Goodbye!”
Yang Kai nodded and beckoned for Meng Hong and the others to follow before striding towards the inn.
After walking for some time, Meng Hong finally asked, “Brother Yang, was that person Scarlet Star's Chen Tian Fei?”
“Yes!” Yang Kai nodded.
Meng Hong was shocked, “How did he become like that? Wasn’t he a fatty before?”
Yue He pursed her lips and smiled, “Naturally, he was beaten up. This time, his vitality was greatly damaged and I don’t know how long it will take for him to recover.”
Beaten up…
The people from Great Moon Province looked at each other, all of them thinking that Chen Tian Fei had been beaten to such a state by Yue He. They all knew that there must have been a fierce battle in the hall just now, otherwise how could Chen Tian Fei have been able to defend himself so well?
“Then what about Sixth Manager and Seventh Manager?” Meng Hong asked in confusion.
Yang Kai said, “Yue He and I will be the Managers of Scarlet Star from now on.”
“Joining Scarlet Star!” Meng Hong was shocked. He had heard from the inn that Yang Kai wanted to become the Manager of Scarlet Star, but he hadn’t expected him to succeed so quickly. However, this was a good thing for them. Yang Kai and Yue He were both the Managers of Scarlet Star, so naturally they could provide them with better protection.
Meng Hong couldn’t help sighing in admiration. Looking at Yang Kai, the Emperor Realm becoming the Manager at Scarlet Star, and thinking about how he couldn’t even grasp the woman he loved and instead threw herself into the arms of another man, he couldn’t help feeling a bit depressed.
Yang Kai observed his expression and understood his worries, but he didn’t know how to comfort him, so he could only pat his shoulder.
Returning to the inn, Zhao Xingchen was nowhere to be seen, and the entire inn was deserted. The inn’s shopkeeper sat behind the counter, grumbling to himself. Seeing that Yang Kai and the others were still alive, his eyes couldn’t help widening.
Instead of staying in her own room, Yue He ran over to Yang Kai’s room and sat down at the table, staring at him with infatuation.
Yang Kai couldn’t be bothered with her. This woman was a bit crazy, so he should avoid provoking her.
However, there was one thing that Yang Kai was concerned about, so he couldn’t help asking, “Don’t Scarlet Star only have seven Manager? But I saw seven of them in that hall before, and there’s also a Chief Manager. Aren’t there eight of them?”
Chen Tian Fei, Bei Yushan, Ouyang Brothers, and Lady Qin, these were the five people he didn't kill. Including Gan Hong and Poison Lady, there were exactly seven people.
Yue He pursed her lips and smiled, “That Ouyang Brothers has always been regarded as one and the same, so they can be considered one.”
Yang Kai understood and casually tossed a Dragon Blood Pill into his mouth before closing his eyes and refining it.
“I have something to ask you!” Yue He suddenly turned around and sat on the edge of the bed, her beautiful eyes staring at Yang Kai.
“What?” Yang Kai opened his eyes and looked at her.
Yue He asked, “Have you already condensed the Earth Element?”
“Yes!”
“As expected!” Yue He let out a sigh. When she saw Yang Kai’s Earth Element Protection Force appear in the main hall, she had already guessed it, but now she had confirmed it, “Is it in the Hidden Dragon Mountain?”
After thinking about it for a while, Yue He realized that Yang Kai would only have a chance to condense his Earth Element power after twenty days in the Hidden Dragon Mountain.
She just couldn’t figure out what was inside the Hidden Dragon Mountain.
“Why do you ask?” Yang Kai frowned.
“Seventh Grade?” Yue He didn’t answer, instead staring at him steadily.
Yang Kai closed his eyes, too lazy to say anything.
Yue He sighed, “It seems you didn’t listen to my previous words. Do you know that you’re digging your own grave by doing this?”
Yang Kai said unhappily, “If you have something to say, then say it clearly. I am just condensing the power of the five elements, how could I be digging my own grave?”
Yue He opened her mouth and hesitated for a while before turning her head and saying, “When you leave the Great Ruins Boundary, you should ask Lan Youruo. If she wants to tell you, she will naturally tell you. If she doesn’t want to tell you, you can come to me again.” Changing the topic, she said seriously, “I’ll say it again, don’t let anyone else know that you have condensed a Seventh Grade Open Heaven Force, otherwise no one in these three thousand worlds can save your life, not even Lan Youruo!”
Saying so, she left the room, somewhat dispirited.
Yang Kai couldn’t help frowning. Yue He had told him about this last time, but it was unclear, and there seemed to be some hidden difficulties!
This made Yang Kai full of doubts, wondering how he had dug his own grave.
Yue He only thought that he had condensed a Seventh Grade Open Heaven forces. If she knew that he had condensed a forces above the Seventh Order, she would probably go crazy.
Although Yang Kai didn’t completely trust Yue He, he could feel that she didn’t have any malicious intent towards him. It seemed that once he left the Great Ruins Boundary, he would really have to ask the Proprietress.
Scarlet Star’s efficiency was very high, and in less than two days, Chen Tian Fei had already arranged everything.
He personally came to the inn and led Yang Kai and Yue He to the mansion. After all, they were the Sixth Manager and Seventh Manager of Scarlet Star, so staying at the inn was a loss of face for the Scarlet Star.
The size of the mansion was not small, and its location was quite good, comparable to the other Manager's mansions.
After leading Yang Kai and Yue He around the mansion and explaining the situation to them, it took them quite a while to arrive at a side hall. After taking a seat, a maid served them tea.
Chen Tian Fei sat down and smiled, “Are the two of you satisfied with the arrangements in this mansion? If you’re not, just tell this Chen, I’ll let them adjust.”
After not seeing him for two days, this guy seemed to have gained some weight, and when he smiled, the fat on his face trembled.
Yang Kai nodded, “Manager Chen is too kind, there’s no need to trouble yourself.”
To him, this mansion was just a place to live, so there was naturally no need to pay too much attention to it.
Chen Tian Fei said, “That’s good, that’s good.” Saying so, he lightly coughed and clapped his hands, “Come in.”
Immediately, two people walked in, a man and a woman. The man was limping; it was Zhao Xingchen, who had been kicked by Yang Kai.
Presumably, he had taken some kind of miracle pill these past two days, otherwise his injuries wouldn’t have healed so quickly.
When he saw Zhao Xingchen, Meng Hong, who was standing to the side, didn’t react, but after seeing the woman’s appearance, Meng Hong’s expression couldn’t help becoming complicated.
This woman was Chen Yue.
The two of them walked over one after the other, Zhao Xingchen wearing a flattering smile while Chen Yue lowered her head to look at her toes, her hair hanging down in front of her chest covering her face.
“Greetings, Sixth Manager, Seventh Manager!” Zhao Xingchen’s face was still somewhat bruised, and several of his teeth had fallen out. As he spoke, his voice was somewhat unsteady and his words were somewhat unclear.
At this moment, he no longer had the high-spirited and arrogant look he had two days ago. Instead, he wore a smile that was uglier than crying and a flattering look.
Chen Yue also bowed slightly and greeted, “Greetings to the two Managers.”
Yang Kai turned to look at Chen Tian Fei and asked with a faint smile, “Brother Chen, what is the meaning of this?”
Chen Tian Fei solemnly said, “Sixth Manager, this little brat was blind and offended you before. Although he has been taught a lesson, he has still offended his superior. My Scarlet Star’s rules are strict. Anyone who dares to offend their superior will be severely punished! Today, I will have this little brat come here to apologize. Whether he is killed or beaten to scrap, Sixth Manager can decide, this king will not stop him!”
His words were powerful and resonant, as if he was impartial.
Hearing this, Zhao Xingchen was startled and quickly turned to look at him, saying pitifully, “Brother-in-law!”
“You still have the face to call me Brother-in-Law!” Chen Tian Fei coldly snorted, “This King’s face has almost been completely thrown away by you! I told you long ago not to stir up trouble with your identity as the Small Commander, I told you there are always someone better than you in this world, but you didn’t believe me and insisted on thinking that this world is yours, you were just lucky enough to meet the Sixth Manager the other day. If it were anyone else, you would have died countless times already.”
Turning his head to look at Yang Kai, he said, “Sixth Manager, I’ve brought him here for you. If you want to kill him, just do it. I, Chen Tian Fei, will not stop you.”
Saying so, he actually closed his eyes, as if he didn’t want to see anything but his heart.
Zhao Xingchen was greatly shocked. Seeing that he couldn’t count on Chen Tian Fei, he could only kneel on the ground and beg Yang Kai, “Sixth Manager, please spare my life. This humble subordinate was blinded by greed the day before and was unable to see. Offending Sixth Manager, I deserves ten thousand deaths, I won’t dare do it again. Sixth Manager, please spare my life!”
As he spoke, he began to kowtow repeatedly, his head soon dripping with blood.
Yang Kai looked at him indifferently for a while before saying, “Commander Zhao, there is no grudge between you and me. Even if there is, it considered over the day before yesterday. You offended this King, and this King broke your leg. If you want to live, you shouldn’t be begging me!”
Hearing this, Zhao Xingchen was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered and turned to look at Meng Hong, squeezing out a sad smile, “Brother Meng…”
