"Moreover, no one can predict what will happen in this world. Perhaps I will be reborn from the ashes because of this incident, and my future path of cultivation will be smooth sailing."
"But you still have to go to Jinluo City to bring back your father's ashes. Jinluo City is a den of dragons and tigers, with three great celestial experts guarding it." Su Ruochu's emotions were somewhat touched: "How much more time will you have to waste because of my fall in cultivation level?"
“My father… has been there for twenty years, so another year or two won’t make a difference.” Ye Xingchen looked wistful as he slowly raised his head and looked southwest. “Moreover, I am determined to take those people’s heads to offer as a sacrifice to his spirit in heaven.”
“You gave me this life. If you ever go to Jinluo City, take me with you.” Su Ruochu said, “You have too many enemies. Now that your cultivation level has dropped, it’s inevitable that some people will try to take revenge on you.”
"Don't worry, realms are just a power division based on people's wishful thinking. Once martial arts practitioners have realms, their mental state falls behind. Even if I only have the strength of the Heaven Realm now, I will still kill without hesitation when I encounter a celestial phenomenon." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly.
Su Ruochu stared at Ye Xingchen, her eyes momentarily glazed over.
"What's wrong?" Ye Xingchen asked, somewhat surprised.
"It's nothing." Su Ruochu's face flushed slightly, and she turned her head to the side. "I need to go on a training trip to stabilize my mind. I might not be in Yanjing for the next few days."
"Where to?" Ye Xingchen asked.
“I don’t know. The far north snowfields? The bitterly cold northwest? Or perhaps the snow-capped mountains of the far west, the Gobi Desert?” A hint of confusion appeared in Su Ruochu’s eyes: “There are some things I can’t understand. I’ll come back when I figure them out.”
"The day you figure it out will be the day you truly break through." Ye Xingchen nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Alright, have a safe journey."
"You...aren't you going to detain me?" Su Ruochu looked at Ye Xingchen, a hint of resentment in her eyes.
"Your mind is made up, can I stop you?" Ye Xingchen asked with a smile.
"Why don't you give it a try? Maybe I'll stay." Su Ruochu said, somewhat angrily.
"Go, gain some experience, temper your mind; it will be good for your growth," Ye Xingchen waved his hand.
Su Ruochu was furious. Was this guy an idiot? She gritted her teeth and said, "Ye Xingchen."
"Call me teacher," Ye Xingchen said.
"Calling me 'teacher' establishes a hierarchy, and I have avenged my great grudge. From now on, I will no longer be your student." Su Ruochu said through gritted teeth, "From now on, we will be of the same generation. Humph, I'm leaving."
After Su Ruochu finished speaking, she stormed off, leaving Ye Xingchen completely bewildered: "Why are you angry?"
"Why didn't you try to stop her?" Just then, Li Yijin ran out.
"She should temper her mind; it will benefit her future cultivation," Ye Xingchen said seriously.
"In your eyes, is spiritual cultivation the only important thing? Are you genuinely ignorant about women, or are you just pretending?" Li Yijin said somewhat angrily, "Can't you see that she likes you?"
"I can tell," Ye Xingchen said helplessly. "Can you please not expose everything?"
"Since you can see that, why did you do this?" Li Yijin was slightly taken aback.
"Little girl, you don't understand anything." Ye Xingchen patted her head: "Study hard and try to get into a good university."
"Don't change the subject." Li Yijin pouted. "Tell me, why are you pretending to be confused? She clearly likes you a lot."
"Don't have to get to the bottom of everything." Ye Xingchen glared at her: "Without her, don't you have one less competitor?"
"Nonsense! Even without her, I still have plenty of competitors. You have too many vixens around you." Li Yijin retorted, "At least Sister Su and I get along well. I like her, and we'll both serve you together when the time comes."
"..."
Ye Xingchen was both amused and exasperated: "Stop talking about so much nonsense. What are you doing here during class? I'll take you back to school."
Li Yijin's face immediately fell: "No, I'm not going."
"Why aren't you going? Do you want me to tell your brother?" Ye Xingchen glared at her. "You're so young, skipping class every day. Do you think that's appropriate?"
“Even if I didn’t study, I would still be better than 99% of people.” Li Yijin snorted and said, “Do I need to work hard? The money my brother earns in a day is something an ordinary person would have to struggle for a lifetime.”
Ye Xingchen was speechless, unable to refute for a moment. He said helplessly, "Your brother is your brother, and you are you. You don't want to live a mediocre life, do you?"
Just as Li Yijin was about to retort, Ye Xingchen's phone rang. It was Boss Wu calling.
"Mr. Wu, is there something you need?" Ye Xingchen asked.
“Mr. Ye, I apologize for disturbing you.” Mr. Wu said with a smile, “I recently received a batch of goods, which are rare and precious natural treasures. I think you would be interested. If you have time, Mr. Ye, you can come and take a look.”
"What kind of rare and precious treasure?" Ye Xingchen was indeed interested.
In this world, spiritual energy is scarce. Ye Xingchen has many secret formulas, but he is troubled by the lack of spiritual medicines containing spiritual energy.
The reason I let Boss Wu go last time was because I thought his black market had potential, and he might be able to get a lot of things that I couldn't get myself. It seems that's true today.
“The Blood-Weeping Spirit Blessing, the Nine-Fragrance Insect.” Boss Wu said, “I’m not sure about this. Mr. Ye needs to come and see for himself.”
"Alright, keep them for me whether they're real or not." Ye Xingchen's eyes lit up. If these two items were real, he would make a fortune. The Blood-Weeping Spirit Blessing was a kind of spiritual creature similar to the Zhiren and Zhima, and the Nine-Fragrance Insect was an ancient spiritual insect that had long been extinct. If they were real, he could use these two items to refine a medicine comparable to the resurrection of the dead.
"Yes, Mr. Ye, I'll be waiting for you here," Mr. Wu said with a smile.
"Go to school by yourself. I don't have time to take you. I need to go see Boss Wu. He has some good stuff there." Ye Xingchen hung up the phone and was about to leave.
"Take me with you." Li Yijin wrapped her arms around Ye Xingchen's arms, preventing him from leaving.
"I'm going to take care of important business. Why should I take you with me? Besides, it's a black market where all sorts of people gather. What would you be doing there?" Ye Xingchen said.
“I don’t care, I just want to be with you. When I get back, I’ll study hard and not skip class for at least a month,” Li Yijin said.
"I'd better call your brother instead." Ye Xingchen glanced at her. Threatening me? You're still too green.
"Did you like the photos I sent you last time?" Li Yijin chuckled.
"Last time?" Ye Xingchen was taken aback and immediately remembered the photo of her in black stockings and pajamas that she had posted.
"You definitely saw it, and you still haven't replied to me. You lecherous bastard who dares to do it but doesn't admit it." Li Yijin immediately grabbed Ye Xingchen: "If you don't take me, I'll spread this around. Humph, since you've already seen it, you have to take responsibility for me."
