2036 Back
If I haven’t recalled wrongly, Qiang Wanzhou stayed outside the God Residence Realm the whole time. How did he suddenly break through to become a true god? Logically speaking, it should not be the case…
Qiang Wanzhou’s lips pressed against each other slightly. He glanced at Cen Yi and did not speak.
Chu Liuyue laughed. “Yeah, I was also very shocked. I didn’t expect Little Zhou to break through to become a true god in such a short amount of time.”
He hid his aura very well. If he did not fight with Mo Shiqian later on and showcased his true cultivation level, Chu Liuyue would still think that he was a peak stage-nine warrior.
“However, Little Zhou has extraordinary skills and has a lot of luck. It’s expected for him to be at this stage,” said Chu Liuyue lightly.
Actually, she knew where Cen Yi had his doubts from, and she did have the same curiosity in her heart. However, she knew clearly that Qiang Wanzhou’s body was different from the rest.
His body had a terrifying force sealed inside.
Previously, she just helped to release a small portion of it, and his cultivation strengthened greatly. It was probably because of this that he could break through to become a true god.
When I have the time later on, I have to ask him about it in detail.
Cen Yi nodded and did not pursue the matter. “You’re right, Master. Then, let’s go back now.”
Chu Liuyue turned around to take a look. It’s fine to talk about the people, but there are… indeed a little too many fiends. There are at least 400 to 500 of them, and one-third of them are still legendary fiends. Their aura is shocking.
As if seeing through her worries, Cen Yi said, “Master, don’t worry. Although we just built this transportation formation, it’s very stable. It should be able to send everyone back.”
Hearing him say this, Chu Liuyue relaxed. “Okay.”
…
With the many fiends, the crowd stepped into the transportation formation.
Like Cen Yi said, although this transportation formation was newly-crafted, it was very stable. It was still stable after taking in so many people and fiends.
Inside the dark space, a few bright pearls floated quietly and shone down.
Chu Liuyue looked at Cen Yi with deep thoughts.
Detecting her gaze, Cen Yi also looked over. “Master, do you have something you want to ask?”
Chu Liuyue nodded and said hesitantly, “Cen Yi, I remember that you’re best at strange contraptions and formations. Since when were you so well-versed in Xuan formations?”
This was not a small matter.
Cen Yi smiled faintly.
The face that was very calm became more lively with this smile. “Master, I am a cultivator.”
He did not lie when he said that he was good at those things. However, he did not mention that he wasn’t good at other aspects.
He had followed Chu Liuyue for many years, hence Chu Liuyue understood his meaning from this gaze and sentence.
She could not help but be dazed. Cen Yi is right… Upon deeper thought, didn’t he teach Thirteen? The other people among the Thirteen Yue Guards also respect Cen Yi greatly.
In this world where the strong are respected, they wouldn’t be so convinced by Cen Yi just because of seniority. It is because he is strong enough!
Chu Liuyue stroked her chin. I always thought that I sufficiently understood Cen Yi, but it now seems like… all I saw was the tip of the iceberg. However, Cen Yi’s loyalty toward me isn’t questionable.
She smiled in relief, and her eyes sparkled. “That’s right. Let’s duel another day!”
Cen Yi nodded. “I’ll wait for Master’s guidance.”
…
Peach Blossom Dock.
After a heavy snow, the entire Peach Blossom Dock was covered. However, the peach blossoms inside and outside the city were still blooming brightly.
The light-pink petals, mixed with the gleam of the snow, made the scene look like a painting.
Courtyard of Yue Manor.
San San sat inside the house. He held a brush with one hand and checked the account book before him.
His chubby cheeks had a bright smile, and his eyes had curved into a line. Everyone could tell how excited and happy he was at this moment.
Thirteen coincidentally saw this scene when he came in. “Third Brother, what’s there to be so happy about?”
Actually, Thirteen already guessed the reason when he saw the account book in San San’s hands, but he still asked symbolically.
Hearing the voice, San San did not even look up and chuckled. “Hey, Thirteen, you’re here? Quickly come and sit! Your Third Brother is calculating the accounts!”
As he spoke, he sighed. “Tsk tsk, these aristocratic families are very generous! Just the profit from these few days has already exceeded that of the past three months!”
Without the Black Sword Sect suppressing them, the profits were looking up!
Even though Master only chose a few families, they held sincere attitudes of making friends. Additionally, the quality of the herbs from Peach Blossom Dock were extremely good. Thus, they were very generous.
Recently, San San was overwhelmed with work. But when he held the account book, he was not tired at all.
Thirteen asked rather curiously, “Third Brother, you don’t need an abacus?”
“It’s too slow!” San San finally retracted his gaze and chuckled. “Little Thirteen, don’t you know that your Third Brother dislikes using abacus for big sums?”
Thirteen really did not know. Even though he had followed Master from a long time ago, he spent most of his time with Cen Yi and the rest.
Among the Thirteen Yue Guards, only San San had such love and interest toward monetary matters.
San San didn’t have many chances to interact with Thirteen. Besides, Thirteen was young in the past, so San San would not bring up such matters in front of him.
As for the rest… he was too lazy to bring it up.
Hence, Thirteen only found out about this when he heard him personally mention it now.
“Third Brother, your mental arithmetic is so amazing?” Thirteen quickly reacted and had a look of admiration.
This gaze worked very well on San San.
“Haha! Actually, I’m not that amazing. Such a thing is natural, natural!” He gently touched the account book in his hands, smiled, and said, “Little Thirteen, when we build these businesses up, our Yue Manor can stand stably in the God Residence Realm in the future! In the future, you can just tell me whatever you want!”
This sentence made San San sound very generous. However, this was also because he had confidence.
Chu Liuyue’s battle with Yi Wentao could be considered as killing a monkey to warn the rest, letting everyone know that Peach Blossom Dock’s Yue Manor was not one to be messed with.
These businesses were even more beneficial in having good relations with those aristocratic families.
The more friends they had, the more options they would have.
Many people wanted to be related to Yue Manor. After all, even though Yue Manor was newly established, there were quite a few backers behind them.
In the current God Residence Realm, who would be foolish enough to offend them?
If one wanted to support the development of such a huge aristocratic family, other than sufficiently strong warriors, they also needed enough resources.
Previously, San San also earned some money, but he did not expect his master to make such a big scene.
The expenditure of so many people in Peach Blossom Dock’s Yue Manor was not a small sum. However, it was good that their future was bright!
“Hey, Little Thirteen, why did you think of finding me today?”
Thirteen then reacted. “Oh right! I came to report a piece of news to you—Master and the rest are back!”
