Chapter 718: You Dare to Play Tricks on Me, Old Man
Seeing that her aunt asked so directly, Yan Zixia knew what she meant and her beautiful face turned red.
At this moment, her heart was beating like a deer, and she hid her hands behind her back, not knowing where to put them. She could only rub them back and forth subconsciously.
She lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Lu Chen, but she glanced at him expectantly.
"Oh no, this girl might have fallen in love with me. This is not good. I have to run away quickly."
Looking at Yan Zixia, who looked like a young girl in love, Lu Chen thought to himself.
In order to avoid embarrassment, Lu Chen quickly pretended to be calm and laughed:
"By the way, your father is still waiting for my news outside, so I'll be leaving now."
After saying that, Lu Chen took a step forward, and his body turned into a shadow and disappeared on the spot.
Yan Zixia didn't get the answer she wanted, and a hint of sadness flashed across her beautiful eyes, which were originally shy.
Seeing this, Wang Xiumei sighed inwardly. She knew very well that Lu Chen was pretending to be ignorant.
So he laughed and said to himself:
"This kid is too embarrassed to get up. Wait until I go out and ask him what he means."
After saying this, he was about to leave, but was stopped by Yan Zixia with a cold voice:
"No need, auntie. Now that Murong Qi is dead, the Tiansha Chamber of Commerce is leaderless. It's a good time to annex it. Please don't cause trouble for me anymore."
"Uh……"
After hearing this, Wang Xiumei didn't know what to say and could only leave in disappointment.
At this moment, Yang Yunfei and Qi Yutang were leisurely overlooking the city scenery of Yancheng.
On the other hand, Yan Dingkun, who was standing aside, was looking at the Feiyu Chamber of Commerce with an anxious expression.
It was not until a familiar figure flew towards them that a look of joy appeared on Yan Dingkun's brows.
So, he immediately flew forward and asked with a smile:
"Master Lu Chen, is my daughter Zixia safe and sound?"
"Don't worry, Senior Yan. I have killed all the people from the Tiansha Chamber of Commerce, including Murong Qi and Xiang Donglai. Miss Zixia is naturally safe and sound.
I have other things to do here, so I won't bother you any more. Can you let me take a look at the Enlightenment Tea Tree Root? It will also help me gain some knowledge."
Lu Chen smiled shamelessly.
"What? You killed Murong Qi and Xiang Donglai? How is this possible? Did you hide...
Oh... City Lord Lu, please don't misunderstand me. I didn't mean anything else. It's just that this news was too shocking, so I made a slip of the tongue."
Upon hearing this, Yan Dingkun expressed exaggerated shock.
Almost subconsciously, Yan Dingkun was about to ask Lu Chen whether he had hidden his cultivation level. However, after realizing that he had made a slip of the tongue and shouldn't have asked about other people's privacy, he quickly changed his words.
Then, he took out a piece of carrot-sized tree root from the storage ring and handed it to Lu Chen.
However, when Lu Chen caught a glimpse of what Yan Dingkun was holding, his expectant face suddenly became extremely gloomy, and he immediately squeezed out a few words from between his teeth:
"How dare you play tricks on me, old man."
Yan Dingkun was shocked when he heard this and saw Lu Chen's cold eyes. He quickly explained:
"Don't misunderstand, City Lord Lu. This is indeed the root of the Enlightenment Tea Tree. Please take a closer look, City Lord Lu."
Seeing Yan Dingkun so confident, Lu Chen took the thing from his hand doubtfully, and immediately started to analyze it by practicing the Chaos Dao Sheng Jue.
In fact, it was no wonder that Lu Chen had a misunderstanding, because the roots of the enlightenment tea tree that Yan Dingkun took out were not only extremely dry, but also did not have a trace of spiritual energy. At first glance, it looked like an ordinary dead branch.
Fortunately, there is the Chaos Dao Sheng Jue. After analysis, Lu Chen found out that the thing in his hand was indeed from the Enlightenment Tea Tree, but the laws of heaven and earth contained in it were pitifully few.
For Lu Chen, it basically had no effect, so much so that he suddenly felt like a dumb person eating coptis chinensis and unable to express his bitterness.
"Okay, very good. Thank you for your enlightenment tea tree root. Goodbye!"
Lu Chen, who was trying hard to control himself from losing his temper, forced a smile.
After saying this, he called Yang Yunfei and Qi Yutang and prepared to leave.
At this time, Yan Dingkun flashed around to Lu Chen and pleaded again:
"City Lord Lu, please stay. I have something to ask of you."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen frowned slightly. If it weren't for the face between acquaintances, he would have kicked Yan Dingkun away. In his heart, he was thinking frantically:
"Fuck you old man, I have another favor to ask of you. Why are you so troublesome? You used a broken tree root to trick me once, but you want to trick me again?"
Although Yan Dingkun felt that Lu Chen was a little unhappy, the matter was of great importance. After weighing the pros and cons in his heart, he still expressed his request and reward through telepathy.
"Lu Chen, let's go. What are you still standing there for?"
Seeing that Lu Chen didn't say anything, Yang Yunfei also saw what happened just now. He guessed that Lu Chen might have suffered a loss, so he urged him kindly.
Who would have thought that Lu Chen, who had a sullen face, suddenly grinned and said:
"In that case, I will respectfully obey your orders. When will we set off? Or should we leave now?"
Yan Dingkun heard this and didn't expect Lu Chen to change so quickly. He couldn't help but despise him in his heart, but he smiled and said:
"No rush, no rush. The Divine Alchemist Assessment Competition will be held in a month. It will take only five days to get to Yaodu. We just need to arrive a few days in advance. I will arrange everything else."
While the two were talking, Yan Zixia came over and said:
"Dad, I'm glad you're okay. I thought I would never see you again."
Seeing that his daughter was fine, Yan Dingkun smiled like a father and said:
"This time, thanks to City Lord Lu's great help, otherwise our Feiyu Chamber of Commerce would no longer exist.
Zixia, City Lord Lu will be staying for a while, please go and make some arrangements, and take the time to spend more time with City Lord Lu, and do your part as a host for your father."
When Yan Zixia heard this, a complicated look flashed in her beautiful eyes, but she finally nodded and agreed.
At this point, Lu Chen no longer shirked his responsibility, and at the invitation of Yan Dingkun, everyone came to the tower of Feiyu Chamber of Commerce.
Lu Chen and the other two were arranged on the top floor of the tower, each in a separate room.
After returning to the room, Lu Chen simply set up a formation, then lay on the bed with his legs up in the air, ready to have a good sleep.
The reason why he decided to stay was because what Yan Dingkun said made Lu Chen very interested.
The general meaning is that after their unremitting efforts, they finally found some clues about the sword immortal Yan Feiyu.
It is said that someone saw a cultivator who called himself Yan Feiyu outside the Three Souls Tower.
Apart from this, there was no other useful information, and Yan Feiyu seemed to have disappeared out of thin air since then.
The biggest possibility is that Yan Feiyu has fallen in the Three Souls Tower.
However, with the current power of Feiyu Chamber of Commerce, they have no way to conduct an in-depth investigation, so they can only find Lu Chen again...
