Chapter 10: Try throwing it into a latrine?

Third Young Master of Wutan City: "Please enlighten me, Brother Lu."

Da Feng Little Constable: "Front row! Front row! Melon seeds are ready, sitting back to listen to the gossip."

Little Princess of Peach Blossom Island: "Ah? What does this matter have to do with gossip?"

Da Feng Little Constable: "Uh, this gossip is not that kind of gossip. This gossip means listening to other people's gossip and embarrassing stories."

Little Princess of Peach Blossom Island: "Ooh ooh, then I want to listen to gossip too!"

Lu Chen: "Ahem! Everyone sit down, Little Sunflower Mother's classroom… Getting off topic, let me ask Brother Huohuo a question first. Do you really care that much about this engagement yourself?"

Third Young Master of Wutan City: "If Brother Lu hadn't brought it up today, I would have already forgotten that I still had an engagement on me."

Lu Chen: "Then I'll talk about the subsequent impact caused by this annulment of the engagement."

Lu Chen: "First of all, your Xiao Family had someone come to your door to annul the engagement, your Face definitely fell all over the ground, and then your father's prestige within the Family also suffered some damage. After that, you even forged a life-and-death feud with the Cloud Mist Sect."

Lu Chen: "Under the current situation, Brother Huohuo's Family on the surface is just a Family in the remote little town of Wutan City, while the Nalan Family is a renowned Dou Wang Family in the imperial capital, not to mention there is also the Cloud Mist Sect, the strongest force in the Jia Ma Empire."

Lu Chen: "Anyone would feel that this engagement is a mismatched match."

Lu Chen: "Plus, everyone is young. In fact, if you put yourself in their shoes, everyone is young, and no one wants to hand the second half of their life over to a stranger they have never met before."

Lu Chen: "Moreover, in the original work, the compensation given by Nalan Yanran after proposing the annulment can be said to be quite generous."

Lu Chen: "Not only did she return all the betrothal gifts from back when they got engaged, she also additionally compensated tens of thousands of gold coins and some Cultivation resources, and she even brought out four bottles of Qi Gathering Powder as extra compensation."

Lu Chen: "Furthermore, Nalan Yanran also promised to let Brother Huohuo join the Cloud Mist Sect to Cultivate."

Lu Chen: "Put in our past life's world, this is equivalent to your engaged girlfriend wanting to break off the engagement, not only returning the betrothal gifts intact, but also sending you a house and a car, and then introducing you to a very high-quality job."

Lu Chen: "Good things like this can't even be found with a lantern!"

Da Feng Little Constable: "Indeed! Looking at it this way, Brother Xiao's fiancée isn't so unsympathetic after all."

Lu Chen: "So I think Brother Huohuo can completely negotiate with Nalan Yanran in private to resolve this matter. That way the Xiao Family won't lose Face, and Brother Huohuo can also gain a wave of windfall for free."

Lu Chen: "And in Brother Huohuo's heart, he's probably wishing there was no such engagement, right? Otherwise, how will you explain it to your rich little girlfriend in the future?"

Da Feng Little Constable: "What? It's one thing for Brother Xiao to have such a generous fiancée, but he actually has a rich little girlfriend too? There's truly no justice in heaven, I'm so envious!"

Third Young Master of Wutan City: "Many thanks for Brother Lu's guidance!"

Da Feng Little Constable: "Brother Xiao, although I think Brother Lu's suggestion is pretty good, I still hope more to see you personally shout out 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not bully a young man into poverty'. Such a classic scene won't be available if you miss it!"

Looking at Xu Qian's teasing words, Xiao Yan didn't reply anymore, but instead began to seriously consider Lu Chen's suggestion.

In Xiao Yan's view, the outcome Lu Chen spoke of was indeed the best one.

Furthermore, after listening to Lu Chen's analysis just now, Xiao Yan didn't have much anger towards Nalan Yanran in his heart.

After thinking for just a brief moment, Xiao Yan first put this matter aside.

Because he currently had more important matters.

Third Young Master of Wutan City: "Brother Lu, is there any way to make my Master wake up earlier?"

Da Feng Little Constable: "Yo, Brother Xiao is getting into character pretty fast, starting to call him Master just like that?"

Third Young Master of Wutan City: "I know Brother Xu is very envious, but this kind of thing is not something Brother Xu can envy, smug.jpg."

Da Feng Little Constable: "Middle finger.jpg!"

Lu Chen: "I feel that after absorbing your Dou Qi for three years, Yao Chen is currently most likely in a semi-waking state, or has already woken up, just wanting to hide in the dark and observe your character."

Lu Chen: "After all, the reason why he fell to his current state was because he was betrayed by his disciple. How could he easily trust others again?"

Lu Chen: "I can provide you with two options on my end: one is that you continue to inject Dou Qi into the ring, and perhaps after letting him take a few more sips, he'll wake up."

Lu Chen: "Another method is that you pretend to throw this ring into a manure pit. I bet this Yao Chen definitely won't be able to help himself and will come out to see you."

Third Young Master of Wutan City: "…"

Little Princess of Peach Blossom Island: "Pfft…"

Da Feng Little Constable: "Brother Xiao, I personally feel that the second option proposed by Brother Lu is simply marvelous. I strongly suggest Brother Xiao give it a try."

Third Young Master of Wutan City: "Brother Lu, are you sure this second method is serious? I'm afraid if I do that, once Yao Chen comes out, he won't take me as his disciple, but will directly kill me instead."

Lu Chen: "You only asked for a way to make him wake up. Just tell me whether this method is effective or not?"

Third Young Master of Wutan City: "Uh! Regardless, I still have to thank Brother Lu. I'll go try the first method right now."

Da Feng Little Constable: "I'm going to continue studying the case files too."

Lu Chen: "Wait a moment!"

Lu Chen: "Brother Huohuo, lend me your storage ring for a bit. I'm planning to store some things, and I'll return it to you when I'm done."

Third Young Master of Wutan City: "No problem."

Third Young Master of Wutan City: "Anyway, there isn't much packed inside my storage ring. As long as Brother Lu doesn't mind the small space, just take it and use it."

The storage ring in Xiao Yan's hand belonged to the lowest-level kind, with an internal space of only three or four cubic meters.

And this was given to him by his father in the name of the Family as a reward when he made a Breakthrough to a Dou Practitioner three years ago. Otherwise, with the meager amount of money on Xiao Yan, he simply couldn't afford a storage ring worth nearly 100,000 gold coins.

Afterwards, Xiao Yan took out the few personal items placed inside the storage ring, and then sent it to Lu Chen via a red envelope.

…

Yinghuo Ancient Planet.

Lu Chen received Xiao Yan's storage ring on his end, and after expressing his thanks, he put away the chat window.

Both Ye Fan and Pang Bo, who were following by Lu Chen's side, completely failed to notice that an iron-black ring had unknowingly appeared on Lu Chen's finger.

The three of them continued walking forward, and a ball of light gradually appeared in the distance.

After walking for another short while, the three of them led by Lu Chen finally arrived before the source of light.

That was a simple and dilapidated temple, inside which were green lamps and ancient Buddhas, flickering with bursts of candlelight.

In front of the ancient temple, a Bodhi Ancient Tree was as vigorous as a coiled dragon, with a withered trunk, and only sparsely dotted with five or six green leaves two meters off the ground. Each leaf was crystal clear, shimmering with green light, resembling jade divine gems.
