“My Young Master is currently in seclusion, why don’t you all return first and wait for him to come out?” Yue He asked.
The young man said, “Just call him out.”
“I’m afraid it won’t be convenient,” Yue He slowly shook her head.
The young man said angrily, “What’s so inconvenient about that? This Young Master personally coming to see him is his honor, how could he not give face?”
Yue He sneered lightly as she gradually lost her patience. What she was afraid of was the Azure Nether Paradise and not this young master in front of her, so how could she take his threats seriously? This guy had repeatedly spoken rudely, if he really angered her, what harm was there in beating him up?
The guard who had just spoken leaned forward and whispered something into the young man’s ear. The young man’s brow wrinkled and his expression became gloomy for a moment before he spoke with a look of displeasure, “Fine, this Young Master will stay in the largest inn here. When your Young Master comes out of seclusion, call him over to see me.”
Yue He nodded lightly, “Good.”
The young man glanced at Yue He again before slowly shaking his head and sighing before leading the way.
Yue He turned her head and looked towards the distance, asking with a smile, “Is Manager Chen here?”
Chen Tian Fei was standing not far away and had not concealed his whereabouts, so Yue He naturally could not miss him.
The fat on his face piled up and his eyes narrowed into slits. Moving his bloated body to the front of the mansion, Chen Tian Fei cupped his fists and said, “Seventh Manager.” Turning his head towards the young man, he asked, “Who is this?”
Yue He said, “They say they’re from the Azure Nether Paradise, but who knows if it’s true or false?”
Chen Tian Fei nodded and said, “For a mere Emperor Realm to be able to obtain two Open Heaven Stage as guards, even if they aren’t from the Azure Nether Paradise, their background must be quite great. What are they here for?”
Yue He covered her mouth and giggled, “He said he fancied my Young Master and wanted to take him under his wing, don’t you think it’s funny?”
Chen Tian Fei chuckled, “He’s really overestimating himself.” How could a freak like Yang Kai be inferior to others, especially in the Great Ruins Boundary. Having personally witnessed the power of Yang Kai’s attacks, Chen Tian Fei felt that there was probably no one in the Great Ruins Boundary who could match him, unless they fought with numbers or set up an array beforehand.
Changing the subject, Chen Tian Fei asked, “What about the Sixth Manager?”
“Manager Chen also came to find Young Master?” Yue He wore a regretful expression, “Unfortunately, Young Master is currently in seclusion.”
Chen Tian Fei was stunned for a moment, thinking that Yang Kai had just returned from the Yuan Magnetic Mountain not long ago, so how could he have gone into seclusion? Nodding his head, he said, “Then it’s the same as telling Seventh Manager.”
Yue He said, “Come in, let’s talk.” After all, they were both from Scarlet Star, so it wouldn’t be appropriate to keep them outside. Moreover, Yue He also wanted to know what Chen Tian Fei’s intentions were.
After inviting him into the guest hall, Chen Yue served him tea, and Chen Tian Fei didn’t beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
Yang Kai’s actions on Yuan Magnetic Mountain had caused great pressure to Scarlet Star, and Thunder Light had already sent people to condemn him, demanding an explanation from him. Not to mention, he would have to explain to Yue He what would happen and how terrifying the Sword Pavilion was.
After a long time, they decided that in the future, when he went out, he should exercise some restraint and not show off too much. Since he was the Sixth Manager of Scarlet Star, he should always consider things from Scarlet Star’s perspective.
Yue He naturally played along and said that she would wait for Yang Kai to pass the message.
Since he couldn’t see Yang Kai, Chen Tian Fei had no choice but to leave.
After sending off Chen Tian Fei, Yue He turned around and warned Chen Yue that if anyone came knocking again, no matter who it was, they were not to be received! Chen Yue nodded repeatedly.
Inside the secret room, Yang Kai immersed his consciousness into the Dao Seal and felt the power of the Wood and Fire Element.
The vitality of the Wood Element and the tyrannical power of the Fire Element gave him a vague sense of enlightenment, but there was something lacking. It was as if there was a thin membrane in front of him, blocking his vision of the Divine Ability.
This kind of feeling caused one’s heart to itch. Although he understood that as long as he pierced through this thin membrane, he would be able to see another layer of the world, there was nothing he could do.
Yang Kai also knew that opportunities couldn’t be forced, so he could only let nature take its course, repeatedly telling himself to calm his mind and clear his thoughts.
Days passed.
On this day, Yue He, who was idly chatting with Chen Yue, suddenly frowned and turned her head to look outside.
Chen Yue asked, “What’s wrong?” Her strength was still a bit low, so she didn’t notice anything unusual, but from Yue He’s expression, it was obvious something had happened.
Yue He sneered, “A little mouse broke in.”
Chen Yue was stunned for a moment before quickly realizing what was going on. She couldn’t help being surprised. What kind of person was so bold as to dare trespass into someone else’s mansion and even break in? One had to know that this mansion had a Spirit Array barrier, so if an ordinary person wanted to enter, they would have to break through it.
However, she didn’t sense any fluctuations of energy. In other words, this person must be extremely proficient in Spirit Arrays, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to be so stealthy.
“You wait here, I’ll go take a look,” Yue He said before disappearing.
A moment later, Chen Yue felt a faint energy fluctuation erupt from somewhere in the mansion before quickly calming down.
After a dozen breaths, Yue He walked in with a person in her hand and casually threw him to the ground.
Chen Yue looked over in surprise and saw that this person’s face was pale and he had some baby fat on his face. He wasn’t tall and was a clean little fatty.
Judging from his appearance alone, he should be a very amiable person. Chen Yue couldn’t understand why such a person would trespass into someone else’s mansion.
“Aunty, let me tell you, just because I surrender doesn’t mean I can’t beat you. I just don’t want to fight with women.” Little fatty got up and straightened his clothes. Although he had been captured, he didn’t panic at all.
“Aunty?” Hearing this, Yue He’s brow jumped and a cold light flashed across her eyes as she grit her teeth.
Little fatty shrank his head and suddenly remembered something, quickly gritting his teeth, “Elder Sister!”
Yue He coldly snorted, “At least you know your place!”
Little fatty sighed in his heart, thinking that his master was right. No matter what kind of woman it was, they would always care about their age and how others addressed them. When talking to a woman, he would always have to be careful, and it was not uncommon to have a grudge between them.
After understanding this, little fatty cupped his fists and asked, “Elder Sister, may I ask where the master of this place is?”
“Why are you looking for him?” Yue He glanced over. Regardless of whether this little fatty was trespassing or not, his appearance was very amiable, making it impossible for others to feel any disgust.
The little fatty smiled faintly and said mysteriously, “Give him an opportunity and ask for some benefits.”
“Opportunity?” Yue He’s expression became strange as she looked him up and down, “Are you trying to say that you came from some kind of Cave Heaven or Paradise, and want to recruit the master of this place?”
Little fatty was stunned for a moment before shaking his head, “That won’t do. Even if he wants to enter my Master Sect, it will depend on his aptitude and ability. If he doesn’t have the ability, he will never be able to enter.”
Yue He asked curiously, “Is your Sect very strict?”
Little fatty nodded solemnly, indicating that this was no ordinary strictness.
“Where is your Master Sect?” Yue He asked with a smile.
“Divine Cauldron Heaven!” Little fatty replied lightly.
Chen Yue’s beautiful eyes instantly went wide, and Yue He’s laughter also came to a halt as she stared at the little fatty, thinking she had heard wrong.
Divine Cauldron Heaven was one of the 36 Cave Heavens and was one of the top forces in the Three Thousand Worlds. Previously, a silkpants young master from Azure Nether Paradise had come to this place, she had thought that his background was big enough, but who would have thought that this young master would have such a great background?
Yue He was just casually teasing him just now, not having expected him to really come from the Cave Heaven. She couldn’t help asking solemnly, “What kind of proof do you have?”
Little fatty rubbed his chest for a moment before taking out a black token and placing it in front of Yue He. On the token was a name: Xu Zhen!
This name must be this little fatty’s.
Xu Zhen flipped over the token, and on the back of the token, an ancient Divine Cauldron appeared in Yue He’s eyes.
Yue He was shocked. This was really the Divine Cauldron Heaven’s Disciple Token. Although she had never seen it before, when she used her Divine Sense just now, she could clearly sense that there was a massive Divine Ability hidden inside the token.
Ordinarily, elite disciples of Cave Heaven and Paradise would have this kind of identity token on them. This token was not only a symbol of status, but also a life-saving Divine Ability bestowed upon them by their masters. It was impossible to fake it.
Even if Yue He was outside, with her Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivation, if she were to face the Divine Ability inside this token, she would undoubtedly die!
The person who had left a Divine Ability in this token was definitely a High Rank Open Heaven Stage master!
With such a background, regardless of whether this little fatty Xu Zhen was from Divine Cauldron Heaven or not, his identity wouldn’t be too bad, so there was no need for him to pretend to be a disciple of another family.
Chen Yue and Yue He looked at each other and saw the shock in each other’s eyes.
“So it’s Divine Cauldron Heaven's disciple, I apologize for my previous rudeness.” Yue He’s attitude became a bit more polite. Not knowing the other party’s identity, attacking him was one thing, but now that she knew, she had to maintain her etiquette.
“Elder Sister doesn’t need to worry about it, I came uninvited and offended the dignity of this place’s master,” Xu Zhen chuckled, not putting on any airs of a Cave Heaven disciple.
Yue He clicked her tongue in wonder. In the past, she had seen many cultivators who came from the Cave Heaven or Paradise, but all of them had their eyes on the top of their heads, such as the silkpants young master who had come from the Azure Nether Paradise before. This was the first time she had seen someone like Xu Zhen, so she couldn’t help feeling curious.
Pondering for a moment, Yue He asked, “Did you just say that you wanted to give my Young Master an opportunity and ask for some benefits?”
“Correct.”
“Can you elaborate?” Yue He asked.
The little fatty suddenly became somewhat embarrassed and rubbed his two fat hands together, with a flattering look on his face as he said, “It’s like this, Elder Sister. I heard that the owner of this place obtained a lot of Sixth Grade Yuan Magnetic Divine Stones, and all of the Yuan Magnetic Divine Stones from the entire Yuan Magnetic Mountain were taken away by him, so I wanted to ask him for a piece!” Saying so, the little fatty gently squeezed his fingers, indicating that he was only asking for a small amount, definitely not more!
