"Is this entire place all mine?" Chen Zhou couldn't help but wonder, why would he need so many rooms to live here?
So Chen Zhou tried going into each room to take a look.
I discovered that the rooms here are quite varied, but there's only one that's actually for sleeping. The other rooms are quite different, including a dedicated tea room, a tea house, a martial arts practice room, and a room for playing chess and other forms of entertainment.
There were so many different kinds of rooms that Chen Zhou was a little dazzled. Such a small place had so many rooms, so it must have cost a lot to build.
Thinking of this, Chen Zhou couldn't help but sigh. The three major powers in the capital city were indeed worthy of their reputation. They were indeed the great powers that divided the entire capital city into three parts!
Finally, Chen Zhou chose that room and lay down. Once there, he began to ponder the complex web of power dynamics within the gambling city. Currently, the only known power was Xuanyuan Manor. What about the other two?
Chen Zhou was unaware of this, so he needed to investigate the affairs of the eighth floor thoroughly in the coming days. It would be best if he could find out the details himself.
However, Chen Zhou should be confident that he can find out the names and territories of the other two forces.
Next came the matter of Xuanyuan Manor, which now appeared to be an immense temptation. First and foremost was the ability to master the demonic energy, which was the most alluring aspect for Chen Zhou. If he could learn this, his combat power in the Burning Field would skyrocket.
Secondly, this place can provide me with the conditions to find Wo Wan. If I can find Wo Wan in time, that would be the best outcome.
Chen Zhou still needs to find a way to subdue Li Gang; he must change him as soon as possible.
This is my task.
As he pondered, Chen Zhou drifted off to sleep. During his sleep, the Dragon Buddha Divine Power within Chen Zhou's body miraculously healed him, and most of the injuries and poisons in his body were neutralized.
After the clothes were removed, Chen Zhou's health improved significantly.
However, Chen Zhou is still asleep.
Chen Zhou was awakened from his sleep by a series of urgent knocks on the door. He could only get up groggily and immediately began to wonder who was knocking.
Therefore, Chen Zhou had no choice but to force himself to slowly leave his beloved bed.
Chen Zhou immediately rushed to the gate and opened it. Upon opening the door, Chen Zhou saw two people. One was a familiar face—it was Yuan Ziyi. The other was a subordinate carrying a fragrant meal.
Upon seeing this, Chen Zhou immediately took the food and then let Yuan Ziyi in.
Yuan Ziyi looked at Chen Zhou with curiosity, as if she had just woken up and didn't know what had happened.
After closing the door, Chen Zhou immediately walked to the central hall.
"What exactly happened? Why did I wake up in this noble residence of Xuanyuan Manor? How come you're also living in this noble residence?" Yuan Ziyi seemed to be completely confused.
Chen Zhou nodded and pointed to the food in his hand, saying, "Let's talk about everything after I finish this meal. I'm starving."
Indeed, Chen Zhou was just about to wake up when the knocking on the door woke him up.
Chen Zhou was already very hungry.
After spreading the food out on the table, Chen Zhou immediately began to eat with gusto. As expected of a powerful force, even the food at Xuanyuan Manor was exceptionally elaborate.
Not only was it delicious, but the portion was also generous, and Chen Zhou was very satisfied with his meal.
After finishing his meal, Chen Zhou took the handkerchief from the dish, wiped his mouth, and looked at Yuan Ziyi, saying, "This is a long story."
Then Chen Zhou explained the whole story to Yuan Ziyi in detail, and after he finished, Yuan Ziyi was completely shocked.
Because everything Chen Zhou said was incredibly unbelievable.
Chen Zhou was favored by Li Gang's father because he taught Li Gang a lesson? Now he is a great benefactor and a great patron in Xuanyuan Manor?
The two people who were captured are not only spared from jail, but are also being treated well by the people of Xuanyuan Manor and treated like Bodhisattvas.
Clearly, even Yuan Ziyi doesn't believe Chen Zhou now. Chen Zhou doesn't take it to heart. If this were to get out, no one would believe it, because it's just too absurd. Anyone would think it's a joke. Someone bullied the son of the Xuanyuan Manor's owner, and the owner not only forgave him but also treated him as a great benefactor and a noble person. If this were to get out, a lot of people would laugh at the owner of Xuanyuan Manor.
"Is everything you're saying true?" Yuan Ziyi asked incredulously.
Chen Zhou nodded slightly and said, "Of course it is. If it were fake, why would you and I still be here? Otherwise, we would still be in that prison."
When Chen Zhou woke up, he discovered that Yuan Ziyi was not yet awake. So Yuan Ziyi didn't even know that they had been imprisoned. When she woke up, she found herself in the residence of the nobles of Xuanyuan Manor.
"Well, I didn't expect your nonsense to actually come true by sheer luck." Yuan Ziyi continued incredulously, clearly still speechless at Chen Zhou's stroke of luck.
“None of this is accidental. Li Hanmo has been looking for someone like me. I can take action against Li Gang, but no one else has the courage to do so. So only I can truly correct that young master Li Gang.” Chen Zhou said directly. This was no exaggeration. Indeed, only Chen Zhou could drag Li Gang back to shore.
"So it was a lucky accident. If Li Hanmo were really as protective of his son as the rumors say, you would already be dead by now," Yuan Ziyi said.
Chen Zhou said softly, "That's true."
The two exchanged a glance and began discussing their next steps. Their most important task now was to recover their health quickly so they could begin to complete the task Li Hanmo had given them. They also needed to find Wo Wan.
"Next, you'll correct Li Gang's behavior. Do you need my help?" Yuan Ziyi asked.
Chen Zhou thought for a moment and replied, "No need, your presence would have the opposite effect."
First, to significantly change Li Gang, he must completely break his habit of lust for beautiful women. To do this, all the women around Li Gang must be sent away! Li Gang must be surrounded by men, and Chen Zhou already has a plan in mind.
This plan requires Chen Zhou's authority, but Chen Zhou doesn't know if he has that authority; it all depends on whether Li Hanmo supports him.
"So all I have to do is stay here and behave myself?" Yuan Ziyi asked curiously.
Chen Zhou shook his head and said, "Of course not. You must continue to go out and search for Wo Wan, but now you need to go out and find clues by yourself."
