As Ye Guanzhi left the room, she suddenly turned her head. Not far away, Dao Monk was also looking at her.
Ye Guanzhi smiled slightly, then walked towards the outside.
Dao Monk suddenly asked, “Does he have any hope of contending for the Great Dao destiny?”
Ye Guanzhi stopped in her tracks. After pondering for a moment, she said, “From the current perspective, no.”
Dao Monk’s eyes narrowed slightly. “But he is a Sword Immortal.”
Ye Guanzhi nodded. “Achieving Sword Immortal at such a young age is rare even in the main institute. But…”
As she spoke, she shook her head slightly. “I am sorry, but for now, he has no hope of winning, because I have seen those two from the Demon Clan and the Galaxy System.”
Dao Monk’s expression darkened.
At this moment, Ye Guanzhi smiled slightly. “Senior Dao, do not be discouraged. The universe is not yet settled, and all beings can be dark horses.”
Dao Monk shook his head. “Miss, I truly do not deserve the title of senior.”
This woman before him was very young, but her strength could absolutely crush him.
It would be a complete crush.
A figure like this would be an extremely monstrous and terrifying existence even in the main Guanxuan Academy.
Ye Guanzhi turned to glance at the Dao Hall and said softly, “The Guanxuan Academy and the Dao Sect have some connections. It is truly a pity that the Dao Sect has fallen into decline now.”
With that, she turned and left.
In the scene, Dao Monk watched Ye Guanzhi’s departing figure in the distance, silent.
…
Inside the room.
Nanling Yiyi opened the white jade bottle, glanced inside, and exclaimed, “There are five immortal-tier pills.”
Five pills.
Ye Guan’s expression changed. That Ye Guanzhi was so generous.
Nanling Yiyi quickly poured out one and placed it in Ye Guan’s mouth.
As soon as Ye Guan swallowed it, a stream of ink-green light suddenly surged from his body. Immediately after, the wounds all over his body healed at a visible speed.
Seeing this, both Ye Guan and Nalan Jia were shocked.
Soon, the dead skin on Ye Guan’s body sloughed off. In no time, he had fully recovered.
Ye Guan was shocked inside.
There was actually such a terrifying healing miracle medicine in this world. He had truly broadened his horizons.
Nanling Yiyi was also shocked. “This medicine is extraordinarily terrifying.”
Ye Guan shook his head and smiled. It seemed that Ye Guanzhi’s status was extraordinary.
A moment later, Ye Guan could already move freely. He looked at Nanling Yiyi. “Senior Sister, I need to get dressed.”
Nanling Yiyi nodded. “Alright.”
Ye Guan hesitated, then said, “Would you mind stepping out for a bit?”
Nanling Yiyi blinked. “I have already seen everything. It is fine.”
Ye Guan’s expression stiffened.
Nanling Yiyi covered her mouth and chuckled softly. “Silly Junior Brother, I am teasing you.”
With that, she stood up and left.
After Nanling Yiyi departed, Ye Guan got up, dressed, and walked out of the small room. He looked up at the sky. It was now evening, with the horizon a deep crimson, beautiful as a painting.
Ye Guan sat on the stone steps. He spread his palm, and the Path Sword appeared in his hand. He gently stroked it and said softly, “Little Jia, the True Dragon Clan is all dead now. I… miss you a little.”
The Immortal Emperor Clan.
Thinking of this powerful clan, a trace of determination flashed in Ye Guan’s eyes.
Strength.
Only with powerful strength could he possibly borrow the Qingxuan Sword from the Immortal Emperor Clan.
Ye Guan suddenly stood up, soared on his sword, and in the blink of an eye, disappeared at the horizon.
Heading to the Immortal Treasure Pavilion to cultivate.
…
Yue City.
Inside the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, the manager of Yue City’s Immortal Treasure Pavilion, Chen Diao, sat in his chair, silent.
At this moment, a man walked into the hall. The man appeared to be only in his twenties, obese, like a ball.
Seeing the man, Chen Diao said calmly, “How will you deal with me?”
The man smiled. “It seems you already know your fate.”
Chen Diao nodded.
After the True Dragon Clan’s annihilation, he had known his end.
The obese man said calmly, “Execution.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Diao’s pupils constricted sharply. He immediately stood up. “Though I am guilty, it does not warrant death. This…”
The obese man sneered. “I thought you were not afraid of death.”
Chen Diao looked at the obese man. He hesitated, then said, “Sir, who are you?”
The obese man suddenly lifted his robe. Beneath it hung a golden pouch. Seeing this golden pouch, Chen Diao’s pupils constricted sharply. He said in a trembling voice, “Golden pouch…”
The Immortal Treasure Pavilion had many branches, and naturally many managers. The managers were ranked, distinguished by the colour of their pouches, from low to high: copper pouch, silver pouch, golden pouch, and the legendary white pouch.
The white pouch was worn by the first Pavilion Master of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion.
Seeing a white pouch was like seeing the Pavilion Master himself.
As for the golden pouch, it existed only in the main pavilion of the Guanxuan Universe.
Chen Diao had not expected the higher-ups to send a golden pouch manager this time, and even less that this man with a golden pouch would be so young.
The obese man sat to one side and said calmly, “It is understandable that you wanted to invest in the True Dragon Clan. After all, compared to that Ye Guan, the True Dragon Clan had more potential. Unfortunately, you should not have used the Immortal Treasure Pavilion’s power to help the True Dragon Clan. Within the pavilion, using authority for personal gain is the greatest taboo.”
Chen Diao said in a trembling voice, “In the end, this is just a minor matter. Why has it attracted the attention of the main pavilion?”
The obese man smiled. “Because Chief Ye from the academy sent a letter to the main pavilion, accusing you of using authority for personal gain.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Diao’s expression stiffened.
The obese man shook his head slightly. “That is secondary. The important thing is the battle in the True Dragon Realm. The Divine Spear Clan’s ancestor appeared, but in the end, the True Dragon Clan was completely annihilated, and all the strong members of the Divine Spear Clan were killed. We do not know the process, but the outcome is clear. That is, this Divine Spear Clan ancestor Li Ge could not overpower the person behind this Young Master Ye.”
Chen Diao’s face grew even paler.
The obese man added, “Using authority for personal gain is actually not a big deal. Unfortunately, you backed the wrong horse.”
Chen Diao’s face was ashen. “How does the main pavilion plan to deal with me?”
The obese man said calmly, “Kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.”
Chen Diao gave a miserable smile. “No matter how strong the person behind Ye Guan is, can they be stronger than the An family?”
The obese man picked up a teacup beside him, took a gentle sip, then said, “I do not know about that, but I do know they are definitely stronger than you. Moreover, you wanted to side with the An family through the True Dragon Clan. Unfortunately, the An family does not even know you exist.”
As he spoke, he shook his head slightly. “When dealing with people, do not be a bootlicker. Bootlicker, bootlicker, in the end, you get nothing.”
Chen Diao’s expression stiffened.
The obese man suddenly said, “Safe journey.”
As his voice fell, Chen Diao directly burst into flames. In an instant, he turned into a pile of ashes.
At this moment, the obese man suddenly said, “Let her in.”
As his voice fell, a woman slowly walked into the hall.
The visitor was none other than Mo Ya from Yong City.
The obese man smiled. “From now on, you are the manager of Yue City’s Immortal Treasure Pavilion.”
Mo Ya was stunned. “This…”
The obese man smiled slightly. “Do you not want to be the manager of Yue City?”
Mo Ya quickly said, “Of course not. It just feels somewhat unbelievable.”
As she spoke, she hesitated, then said, “Is it because of Young Master Ye?”
The obese man smiled. “Yes.”
The weight in Mo Ya’s heart immediately lifted.
She had bet correctly.
A trace of secret joy rose in her heart.
The obese man stared at Mo Ya and smiled. “Why did you want to form a good connection with that Young Master Ye?”
Mo Ya thought for a moment, then said, “First, he is a very good person. Second, he could defeat An Mu of the An family and the young patriarch of the True Dragon Clan. Third, even if he lost, I would not lose anything. But if he won, I would profit immensely.”
“Haha.”
The obese man suddenly laughed. As he laughed, his entire body of fat jiggled.
Mo Ya looked at the obese man and said nothing.
After a moment, the obese man smiled. “You have limitless potential.”
Mo Ya quickly bowed respectfully. “Thank you for the elder’s appreciation.”
The obese man stood up. “This place is now yours to manage. I am leaving.”
Mo Ya hesitated, then said, “I just learned that Young Master Ye has already arrived here. Does the elder wish to meet him?”
The obese man smiled. “Do you hope I meet him?”
Mo Ya immediately bowed respectfully. “Although I have personal motives, I also know to consider the bigger picture. A figure like Young Master Ye, selling him a favour is already my limit. If the elder feels Young Master Ye has boundless potential, you may personally befriend him and draw in an important partner for our Immortal Treasure Pavilion.”
She knew her connection with Ye Guan could go no further than this.
The person before her was the one who could truly decide her fate. She could tell that the main pavilion of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion valued Ye Guan highly, or they would not have sent someone from the main pavilion.
Therefore, she concluded that even if she did not mention it, this person would still go to meet Ye Guan. Since that was the case, why not bring it up herself?
In any case, this connection with Ye Guan would definitely be taken by others.
The obese man stared at Mo Ya for a moment, then smiled. “I somewhat underestimated you. Perform well. There may be a chance to enter the main pavilion in the future.”
With that, he turned and left.
In place, Mo Ya took a deep breath, overjoyed.
…
Outer hall of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion.
Ye Guan sat there. He had come this time to see Mo Ya.
Besides cultivating, he also wanted to express gratitude.
When he had clashed with the True Dragon Clan earlier, Mo Ya had helped him considerably.
At this moment, an obese man suddenly walked into the hall.
Ye Guan looked at the obese man. The obese man smiled. “Young Master Ye, let us get acquainted. My name is Qin Feng. You can call me Old Qin.”
Ye Guan was somewhat surprised. “You are?”
Qin Feng smiled. “I am considered Miss Mo Ya’s superior.”
Ye Guan nodded slightly. “I see.”
Qin Feng suddenly said, “Young Master Ye, I apologise on behalf of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion.”
Ye Guan was puzzled. “Why?”
Qin Feng smiled bitterly. “To be honest, the reason Young Master Ye’s whereabouts were exposed earlier was because the manager of Yue City’s Immortal Treasure Pavilion, Chen Diao, colluded with the True Dragon Clan. He used our pavilion’s intelligence system to help the True Dragon Clan… Sigh.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Guan fell silent. He had wondered earlier how the True Dragon Clan had found him. So that was it.
Qin Feng added, “Although that Chen Diao has already been executed by me, I still feel somewhat uneasy…”
As he spoke, he suddenly took out a storage ring and handed it to Ye Guan. “Young Master Ye, this is a small token from our Immortal Treasure Pavilion. Please accept it.”
Ye Guan glanced at it. Inside the storage ring were one million gold crystals.
Such generosity.
Ye Guan was somewhat shocked. This was too lavish.
Qin Feng continued, “We know that Miss Mo Ya is friends with Young Master Ye. Therefore, we have now promoted her to manager of Yue City’s Immortal Treasure Pavilion. In the future, if Young Master Ye has any needs, you can come directly here to find her.”
Ye Guan glanced at Qin Feng, then said, “Brother Qin, if I may ask bluntly, is my backer very strong?”
He knew there must be a reason for such courtesy.
Because of his father?
Or because of Plain Skirt Sister?
Qin Feng fell silent.
The way you phrased that question.
It has stumped me.
Do you not know if your backer is strong or not?
Ye Guan said earnestly, “I really want to know.”
Qin Feng looked at Ye Guan, then said, “Brother Ye, it is clear you are not one for flowery words, so I will be frank with you. Actually, I do not know if your backer is strong or not. Do… you not know yourself?”
Ye Guan thought for a moment, then sighed softly. “Just assume my backer is very strong.”
Qin Feng’s expression stiffened.
