Chapter 1159: Local Rich Man

“Forget it,” Murong Chengdu shook his head. “Your elder brother’s cultivation was crippled, which means the opponent is very powerful, likely having reached the Celestial Realm Great Perfection. If you go, you might suffer another loss.”

Murong Tian said indignantly, “I just can’t swallow this insult.”

“Youthful impetuosity prevents great achievements,” Murong Chengdu said in a didactic tone. “Impatience spoils great plans. There are only two days left until the three-day agreement. What are you rushing for?”

Murong Tian said, “I don’t understand. Since we already defeated those old fellows from the Three Great Families at that time, why didn’t we just flatten them in one go instead of making it so troublesome?”

“Haste makes waste, don’t you understand that principle? Your Grand Elder was too impatient. He had just achieved a Breakthrough in his Realm, and his Foundation was not yet stable, so he rushed to fight those old fellows, and as a result, he also got injured.”

“What? Grand Elder is injured?”

Murong Tian looked astonished. Ever since Murong Chengdu helped him raise his Cultivation to the Celestial Realm Great Perfection, he had regarded his Grand Elder as a celestial being, and he never expected him to be injured.

“Otherwise, why do you think we set a three-day agreement? On one hand, it’s to deter the second and third-rate low-level families in the Imperial Capital and make them choose a side. It’s also to allow your Grand Elder to recover from his injuries.

Otherwise, if his Foundation is damaged, it will affect his future advancement.”

Murong Tian nodded: “Understood, Grandfather. Then we’ll settle the score with them in two days. I will definitely make that crazy woman from the Oriental Family pay.”

Murong Chengdu said with a stern expression, “Soon. In two days, the entire Imperial Capital will be dominated by my Murong Family. Those who follow me shall prosper, and those who defy me shall perish.”

At the same time, in the Kunlun Immortal Realm, Wuji Sect, Ling Yuanqiao and the black-robed elder stood side by side on the cliff.

“Senior Brother, Sheng Fei and the others have been gone for some time. Why is there no news back yet? Could something have gone wrong?”

Ling Yuanqiao’s brows showed a hint of worry.

The black-robed elder shook his head, full of confidence: “How is that possible? Aren’t you clear about the situation in the Secular World?

Spiritual Qi is scarce, and Cultivation Techniques are lacking. Even if a few Martial Artists emerge, they are mere small fry. How could they compare to the Disciples of our Kunlun Immortal Realm? Any one of those three juniors could defeat anyone in the world with a single move.

I guess Sheng Fei and the others must have already completed their mission; they’re just lingering in the Mortal World, enjoying themselves.”

Ling Yuanqiao nodded and said, “I hope so.”

There was something he didn't tell the black-robed elder, which was that these past few days he had always had a bad feeling.

“Junior Brother, don’t worry, nothing will happen. Besides, in a few days, our first Seal will open, and then the Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers at the Early Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm will be able to come out. We can send people to check again.”

“Senior Brother is right.”

Ling Yuanqiao nodded again. At this point, he had no other choice but to wait for the Seal to open.

At Su's Group, with the cargo problem resolved, Su Ruyue was overjoyed.

“Little Fan, this is great! All the problems were solved in one night. We sisters will reward you by having you accompany us shopping.”

Ye Bufan said with a bitter face, “Is this a reward?”

For most men, shopping is definitely a punishment, and a very cruel one at that.

An Yimo glared at him: “What, you don’t want to?”

“I do, of course I do.”

Ye Bufan hastily changed his tune and obediently followed the girls out of Su's Group.

For girls, the happiest thing is shopping, and even happier is shopping with the person they like.

The group shopped for an entire morning. Ye Bufan was bored, but the other girls were incredibly excited.

Fortunately, they were shopping at high-end places, and all the purchased items were delivered directly to their residence by dedicated staff, so he didn't have to carry large bags.

At noon, An Yimo said, “Let’s stop shopping for the morning. We’re hungry. You treat us to a big meal.”

Ye Bufan’s face immediately darkened. Listening to her, there would be a second half in the afternoon.

“There’s a Top Peak Hotel ahead. The food there is good. Let’s eat there for lunch.”

Su Ruyue finished speaking and pulled Ye Bufan’s arm: “Let’s go. We sisters will order, and you, the bumpkin millionaire, will pay.”

The hotel was not far, so they didn't drive and just walked while chatting.

Ye Bufan protested, “A millionaire is a millionaire, why add ‘bumpkin’?”

Su Ruyue rolled her eyes at him: “Look at your outfit, it’s only about 1,000 yuan combined. And you say you’re not a bumpkin? We bought you so many branded suits, why don’t you wear them!”

Qin Chuchu laughed along: “Yes, just by looking at your appearance, who would know you’re a big, bumpkin billionaire with a net worth of hundreds of billions?”

Ye Bufan shook his head helplessly. Whether it was a bumpkin millionaire or a bumpkin billionaire, it seemed he couldn't get rid of the 'bumpkin' part.

“Those clothes aren’t as comfortable as this outfit.”

As a Martial Artist, Ye Bufan valued comfort and casualness in clothes more, and he was very unaccustomed to wearing those stiff suits.

An Yimo said, “That’s good too, it saves you from flirting around.”

“Sister An, you’re wrong about that. Whether he flirts or not has nothing to do with the clothes he wears. This time we went to the Demon Capital, and didn’t we gain another sister?”

By the end, Su Ruyue exuded a strong scent of jealousy.

Ye Bufan quickly shut up when this topic came up, otherwise, he would be asking for trouble. Just then, his expression froze, and his gaze lingered on a few girls not far away.

“See? We’re still here, and he’s already staring at other girls again.”

Su Ruyue followed Ye Bufan’s gaze and saw four girls walking side by side ahead. They were all around 20 years old, each youthful, beautiful, and as lovely as flowers.

Especially the one in the very center, her beauty was absolutely off the charts, not even losing to them, and Ye Bufan’s gaze happened to fall on that girl.

At this moment, An Yimo also looked over and exclaimed in surprise, “Oh, isn’t that Xiao Jing?”

Su Ruyue asked curiously, “Sister An, do you know this girl?”

An Yimo quickly explained, “Ruyue, you misunderstood. This is Xiao Fan’s younger sister, Ouyang Jing, Aunt Ouyang’s biological daughter.”

“Uh…”

Su Ruyue’s cheeks flushed. She hadn’t expected it to be her own sister-in-law.

Ye Bufan said, “When did Xiao Jing come to the Imperial Capital? She didn’t tell me.”

Qin Chuchu said, “You’ve been missing these past few days, and your phone couldn’t be reached. Xiao Jing probably couldn’t tell you even if she wanted to.”

Ye Bufan thought about it and realized she was right. He was about to call out to Ouyang Jing when An Yimo pulled him back: “What are you doing?”

“Since I’ve seen Xiao Jing, of course I’m going to call her. I can’t just pretend I didn’t see her.”

“As her elder brother, you don’t even consider your sister’s privacy. You don’t even know what she’s doing, and you want to call her.

Look, they’ve already entered the Top Peak Hotel. Maybe she’s here for a date.”

While they were talking, Ouyang Jing and her friends had already entered the main entrance of the Top Peak Hotel.

“Then what should I do? Should I just pretend I didn’t see her?”

Ye Bufan was a bit bewildered. He was completely clueless about these kinds of things.

An Yimo’s face showed a sly smile: “Let’s follow them and see if Xiao Jing is on a date. If she really has a boyfriend she likes, we can just help check him out.”
