It was late at night when they arrived at the hotel. Xu Chen and Wang Li said goodnight to each other and went to their respective rooms. "I need to go to the old man's house to ask why, and then go to Taihe Hall to check on the situation." Xu Chen flashed and appeared in a grove of trees near the old man's apartment complex. He emerged from the grove and dialed Tang Tiancheng's number. "Young friend, I knew you would come to visit me. Come in." Xu Chen hung up the phone and walked directly into the complex. It was still in Tang Tiancheng's backyard, and the two of them were still enjoying tea together—a familiar scene. Xu Chen picked up his teacup and took a sip, casually saying, "This tea is a bit bitter." Tang Tiancheng chuckled, "Is that so? Although it's bitter, it won't harm you." Then, Tang Tiancheng regained his serious expression and said directly to Xu Chen, "Young friend Xu Chen, it was wrong of me to invite you here using that method. I apologize for that." Xu Chen waved his hand, "Let's get straight to the point. Why did you invite me here?" Tang Tiancheng replied, "I invited you here to ask about your cultivation technique." Xu Chen rubbed his hands against the rim of the teacup, "You'll hand over your cultivation technique, right? Okay, I agree." Tang Tiancheng couldn't help but wonder. Xu Chen, seeing Tang Tiancheng's expression, knew he was pondering why he had agreed so readily. One reason was that Xu Chen didn't want trouble, and even less did he want to be constantly under scrutiny. Another reason was that Xu Chen had a hobby similar to stamp collecting—collecting martial arts techniques—and probably had dozens in his storage bag. Handing over any one wouldn't be a big loss for Xu Chen. Xu Chen said firmly, "Don't worry, send someone to the hotel tomorrow, and I'll give it to you." Tang Tiancheng's doubts were dispelled. Since he agreed so readily and set a time, there was no need for him to overthink it. He said apologetically to Xu Chen, "Young friend Xu, I'm really sorry, but this is policy, and we should all follow it." Xu Chen waved his hand, "Alright, just come to the hotel to pick it up tomorrow morning." Then he left. Tang Tiancheng watched Xu Chen's departing figure without saying a word. Soon, a soldier with a gun jumped out of the bushes behind him and asked him, "Sir, this kid is no ordinary person. He saw through our attempts to follow him today." Tang Tiancheng stroked his beard, "How could I not know he was extraordinary?"
Having left Tangtiancheng residential area, Xu Chen teleported into the sky from the darkness, arriving above the Taihe Hall. He focused his spiritual energy on his eyes, carefully observing the direction of the dragon energy. He saw the purple energy slowly rising, but below Xu Chen's height, it seemed to be cut off and inexplicably disappeared. Xu Chen couldn't figure it out. "Strange, not only can I not see where it went, but it was also cut off?" Xu Chen left the Taihe Hall and soon returned to his hotel.
