Jiang Jianfeng sensed that something was amiss and asked, “What’s wrong?”
The lean man handed the tablet to Jiang Jianfeng and said, “Mr. Jiang, take a look for yourself.”
Jiang Jianfeng took the tablet and glanced at the contents on it. His pupils constricted slightly, and his expression turned strange.
What was Xuemei Palace playing at?
They were giving up the business and expertise they had built up over the years?
Huaxia’s number one assassin organization actually stopped accepting missions to kill people?
How was this possible?
He glanced at the website and confirmed that it was the actual website. Waves of emotion surged through his heart.
“Mr. Jiang, what is Xuemei Palace up to? Also, what kind of force is this Dark Hall? I remember that there is a Dark Hall in Jiangnan Province, but there’s no way it is the same organization. In Huaxia, which organization or expert is qualified to take down Xuemei Palace?”
Jiang Jianfeng thought for a few seconds, then raised his head and said, “It seems that something has happened to Xuemei Palace. Furthermore, the incident this time was extremely serious. Zhan Tao should be dead, and someone else has taken control of Xuemei Palace! Otherwise, given Zhan Tao’s personality, he would never do such a ridiculous thing.”
“However, I’m curious as to who managed to kill Zhan Tao. Someone who could do this must be very strong. Could it be Lin Juelong? Where has Lin Juelong been recently?”
The lean man immediately replied, “Mr. Jiang, I’ve been keeping an eye on Lin Juelong. He hasn’t left the Lin family’s residence and has been cultivating, so this shouldn’t be his doing.”
“Not him?” Jiang Jianfeng’s gaze was extremely serious.
Those old fellows would definitely not take action against Xuemei Palace, and the top families would not abuse their own status to act against Xuemei Palace.
If it was not those people, then who could it be?
At this moment, a figure appeared in Jiang Jianfeng’s mind!
This person was arrogant, and there was an illusory blood dragon above his head.
However, he quickly dispelled this idea.
Although Ye Chen was gifted and had great potential, it was almost impossible for him to destroy Xuemei Palace with his current abilities.
Perhaps in a few decades, this might be possible, but now?
“Forget it. Go and investigate this matter properly. It might not be a bad thing if something happened to Xuemei Palace.”
“That kid’s luck is pretty good. Xuemei Palace probably won’t have time to deal with him with this happening. He might be the biggest beneficiary of this.”
“There might even be a reshuffling of the powers in the capital. 1 reckon that everyone will be investigating the identity of the Dark Hall’s leader. Interesting, really interesting.”
“Remember, if you have any clues, come to me immediately.”
The lean man was stunned, and his expression turned a little strange. Unlike his father, Jiang Jianfeng seemed to have a rather good impression of this b*stard.
Of course, the lean man was just a servant, so he would not say much. All he could do was continue to investigate Xuemei Palace.
“The martial arts arena has been activated! Jiang Jianfeng, please come onto the platform.”
On the platform, an aged voice rang out.
Jiang Jianfeng no longer thought about this matter and took a step forward. The energy around him surged as he leapt onto the platform.
A battle between Huaxia’s top grandmasters was about to begin!
Capital University, ten in the morning.
Ye Chen woke up from his cultivation. His aura was now brimming with power, and his breakthrough had been completed.
However, he was still some distance away from the unity realm. Then again, it was a major realm above his current realm. After all, it was a major realm. Ordinary people might need decades to break through and reach this level.
Back then, when the old man said that Huaxia was his opportunity, Ye Chen had inwardly scoffed, but it seemed that the old man was right.
If he was in the Kunlun Mountains, it would have been impossible for Ye Chen to progress so quickly, and he would probably still be stuck at the soul opening realm.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Ye Chen did not need to guess to know that it was Wei Ying.
When the door opened, Wei Ying was dressed in professional attire. She looked elegant and had two textbooks in her hands. It seemed that she had just finished class.
“Ye Chen, I brought you breakfast this morning, but I was afraid that it would wake you up, so 1 hung it on the door. I didn’t expect you to wake up so late.” Wei Ying frowned.
Ye Chen glanced at the breakfast in Wei Ying’s hands and smiled.
“It’s okay. I have a microwave here. I’ll just heat it up.”
Just as Ye Chen was about to take the food from her, Wei Ying took a step back.
“This soy milk has probably gone bad by now. 1 just finished my morning class, so I’ll make you something to eat. Wait for me.”
After saying that, Wei Ying headed back to her unit.
Ye Chen knew that this was her way of repaying him for yesterday, so he let it be.
Not long after, a fragrance wafted over from Wei Ying’s apartment.
“Ye Chen, come quickly. You can eat now,” Wei Ying urged.
After a night of cultivation, Ye Chen was indeed a little hungry, so he made quick work of the delicious food on the table.
Needless to say, Wei Ying’s breakfast was sumptuous and delicious, comparable to Sun Yi’s.
When Wei Ying saw that Ye Chen had finished his breakfast, she blushed as she took out two movie tickets from her pocket and said shyly, “Ye Chen, there’s a movie premiering tonight at 12 o’clock. The cast and directors have a good reputation, and I happen to have two tickets.”
This was the first time she had invited a man to watch a movie, so she was feeling rather bashful.
Ye Chen glanced at the movie tickets in Wei Ying’s hands. Naturally, he would not agree. After all, the Ghost Prison would open at 12 o’clock tonight. How could he be in the mood to watch a movie?
“Wei Ying, 1 have something to do tonight.”
Wei Ying was startled, and her eyes were filled with disappointment. Who would have thought that she would be rejected?
She even wondered if it was because she was too proactive…
“Alright, next time then.”
Ye Chen finished his breakfast and returned to his unit. A figure emerged. It was Ping Canghai.
“Disciple, that girl has the Fiendish Blood Cold Physique. Her blood is very precious. If you use her blood to refine talismans, those talismans can freeze almost anything.”
When Ye Chen heard those words, he said coldly, “Don’t get any ideas about her. 1 don’t care about that. In any case, you still have more than two days left to teach me the Dao of Spiritual Talismans.”
Ping Canghai let out a long sigh. The Fiendish Blood Cold Physique had actually appeared in this world. He did not know if this was a good thing or a bad thing.
Perhaps it would stir up this world.
“Disciple, the path of cultivation is cruel in and of itself. If others find out that this woman has the Fiendish Blood Cold Physique, they will also plunder her blood essence and use it to concoct pills and create talismans. Rather than helping others, why not help yourself.”
Ye Chen’s eyes turned cold as he said, “Don’t get any ideas about her. 1 don’t want to repeat myself a third time. Although I’m your disciple, I’m also the owner of the Samsara Graveyard.”
Ping Canghai shook his head and formed a hand seal with his fingers. An ancient rune surged out.
“Alright, 1’11 teach you the Dao of Spiritual Talismans today!”
