Chapter 2113
Ye Chen's arrival surprised Zi Chen and the other two. They quickly went up to greet him. They behaved just like normal Heaven Realm warriors.
Ye Chen had a kind smile on his face. He waved at the three of them and said, "You don't have to be so polite. We're all friends here. I'm just here on official business to understand your situation and tell you some things about this place. Oh, you're Zi Chen, right? I heard from Bao Wei that you saved them. Thank you."
"Sir, you're too polite. It's just a small matter. I just came to Star Road and am not familiar with this place. I saw an alien race commanding Bao Wei to kill me. Naturally, I had to attack the alien race first. But I didn't expect Bao Wei to be controlled by an alien race," Zi Chen explained.
"Bao Wei is not weak. You can go around him and kill his master. You're not weak either." Ye Chen smiled. He didn't doubt this at all because this world was like this.
"I'm just fast. It's just luck."
Ye Chen nodded. He then looked at Brilliant and asked curiously, "Who are these two?"
"This is a friend I met on the way. His name is Xing Chen. She's Brilliant," Zi Chen introduced.
"Xing Chen, Brilliant. What a unique name."
Ye Chen looked at Brilliant and nodded. The smile on his face didn't fade.
Xing Chen smiled. Brilliant was still expressionless. She didn't even look at him.
"Sir, please don't mind her. She's a bit cold and doesn't like to talk."
"Only such a personality is worthy of such a beauty. Her personality is unique. Oh, I almost forgot why I'm here. This is your first time here. Here's a gift for you. Each of you will get ten attribute-less crystals."
While speaking, Ye Chen took out thirty attribute-less crystals.
"Sir, we can't accept this. It's our first time here." Zi Chen quickly waved his hand. He was flattered.
"This is Lianyun Planet's rule. You have to accept it." Ye Chen's face was stern.
"Then I'll accept it."
Zi Chen nodded, and then took the 85 attribute-less crystals, which made Ye Chen slightly stunned.
Shouldn't he only take 65 yuan?
After receiving the thirty crystals, Zi Chen divided them into three portions, giving one to Xing Chen and one to Brilliant. It was unknown whether it was intentional or not, but when Zi Chen gave the Brilliant Heavenly Crystal, he touched Brilliant's hand.
Brilliant moved his hand away as if he had been electrocuted, his expression unnatural.
Ye Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. Zi Chen, who had put away the Heaven Crystal, immediately cupped his fists and thanked Ye Chen, "Thank you, my Lord. If you need us to do anything in the future, please let me know."
"There are no special instructions. It's just that after coming here for a period of time, we will go out to do some missions. But don't worry, we don't need to go out for a period of time." Ye Chen's expression had already returned to normal.
Zi Chen nodded and thanked him again.
This conversation ended amidst Zi Chen's constant politeness and thanks. After which, Ye Chen bid farewell and left.
After leaving the room, Ye Chen recalled the scene where Zi Chen touched Brilliant's hand and snorted softly.
At this moment, the three of them had already gathered together. Zi Chen said, "It seems that guy came for Brilliant. Previously, his spiritual sense had been lingering around Brilliant."
Ye Chen relied on his powerful spiritual sense to unscrupulously probe Brilliant. Little did he know that there was a possessor of perfect spiritual sense standing in front of him. His actions, which he thought were subtle, were seen by Zi Chen without batting an eyelid.
A hint of disgust flashed through Brilliant's beautiful eyes. "This kind of person is very hypocritical."
"Fortunately, we don't plan to continue staying here. It's really tiring to deal with this kind of guy."
Ye Chen didn't know that the meeting he thought was a good one didn't leave a good impression on the three of them. Instead, it made them feel disgusted.
When Bao Wei returned, he told Zi Chen that he met two acquaintances. The two of them were quite lucky. They went out on four missions and returned alive.
"We don't have any missions for now. You have to keep the others a secret for now. When you chat, ask more about the details of the battle. Don't reveal that you're deliberately trying to find out," ordered Zi Chen.
"What's wrong, Master?"
"I keep feeling that there's something wrong. Don't reveal any flaws."
The three of them nodded solemnly, indicating that they understood.
Three days passed quickly. Bao Wei and the others didn't find any other problems. As for the details of the battle, those people talked about it with great interest.
In fact, there was no need to deliberately find out. When a group of cultivators gathered together, they were deliberately bragging about their glorious deeds.
"Could it be that we're thinking too much?"
Three days later, Ye Chen, who hadn't appeared before, appeared again. This time, other than chatting, he also intentionally got to know Brilliant more.
Brilliant was currently only in the pseudo Heaven Realm. When they chatted, Ye Chen also wanted to help Brilliant break through to the Heaven Realm. Unfortunately, Brilliant wasn't keen on this.
Zi Chen and Xing Chen looked down on him. Brilliant's current battle strength wasn't weaker than a Heaven Realm expert. The reason he hadn't broken through was because he was waiting for the right time. He wasn't thinking of using other resources to break through.
"This guy is really patient."
Watching Ye Chen leave, Xing Chen smiled coldly. Half a month had passed. Ye Chen came here almost every day. The surrounding cultivators also knew that Saint Ye Chen had taken a liking to Brilliant. For a moment, they all looked at Brilliant with envy.
Obviously, to be able to gain the favor of a Saint here was undoubtedly a great fortune.
After Ye Chen left, Brilliant said without hesitation, "There is indeed something wrong with this guy. These days, he has been deliberately using his soul to guide me, trying to change my memory."
Zi Chen didn't know Brilliant's origin, but he knew that he was very good at using souls. A mere pseudo Heaven Realm expert was able to control the soul contract between a foreign race and a servant. He could also deceive the Heavenly Dao.
Ye Chen wanted to use his soul to guide Brilliant, but he chose the wrong person.
Time passed, and another half a month passed. This time, Ye Chen came again. As soon as he came in, he ignored Zi Chen and Xing Chen and said to Brilliant, "Brilliant, let me tell you a piece of good news. Saint Gu Jin will come out of seclusion today. When he heard that you were here, he also wanted to come and visit you."
"Saint Gu Jin."
Zi Chen and Xing Chen also became alert. This was the second pseudo Saint here. It was said that he had been in seclusion for a long time.
This day, Ye Chen didn't stay for long. However, his soul was even more restless today. He was very manic and proud. He wantonly turned into his human form and wandered around Brilliant, his eyes filled with greed.
"Could it be that he wants to join forces with Saint Gu Jin to do something to Brilliant?" Looking at Ye Chen's leaving figure, Zi Chen frowned.
When it was almost evening, Ye Chen came with a strong man. The man was half-naked, his muscles bulging. Between his movements, he emitted an oppressive aura.
Seeing him, Zi Chen felt as if he saw a ferocious beast pouncing on him. He felt a trace of pressure in his heart.
Obviously, this was a pseudo Saint. It should be Gu Jin.
"Come, Brilliant, let me introduce you. This is Saint Gu Jin."
Ye Chen ignored the two of them again. It seemed that since the day they met, the two of them had been in a state of being ignored.
No matter how arrogant Brilliant was, after seeing Gu Jin, he still had to bow. Zi Chen and Xing Chen also went up and bowed.
"As expected of the beauty that Ye Chen likes. This kind of beauty is definitely unique in this world." Gu Jin nodded at Brilliant and said in a low muffled voice.
Hearing Gu Jin's words, Brilliant was expressionless and did not make any response.
Zi Chen saw a trace of disappointment on Ye Chen's face. Beside him, Ye Chen's soul face revealed a strong sense of greed.
"You two little guys, did you come with Brilliant?" Gu Jin turned his head and looked at Zi Chen and Xing Chen.
"Yes, my Lord." Xing Chen nodded and said.
"Coming here is equivalent to coming home. In the future, get along well with everyone. When the time comes, there will be no shortage of benefits for you. Come, this is a small thing that I carved out when I was bored. It's a gift for you. You can look at it every day."
In Gu Jin's hand, a statue that was half the height of a person appeared. The statue had a human silhouette. Looking at the rough appearance, it was somewhat similar to Gu Jin, but the carving skills were not worthy of praise.
Xing Chen took it and was obviously flattered. He immediately said that he would place it in the most conspicuous place and worship it every day.
Gu Jin nodded with satisfaction, then continued to ignore the two of them. After chatting with Brilliant for a while, the two of them bid farewell and left.
The three of them personally went out to see them off.
Seeing this scene, the cultivators in the distance revealed looks of envy. To be able to make two great Saints personally visit them, it was obvious that the three of them would have a very high status here in the future.
Taking in the expressions of these people, Xing Chen shook his head and sighed. "They've been here for too long and have long gotten used to this kind of life. They've long lost their courage. They can still survive here, but once they go out and face the foreign races, they'll definitely die."
"The purpose of coming to the Star Road is to gain experience. This place can erase one's unyielding character. Obviously, we can't stay here for too long. I think this is not the freedom they want. After a few days, we'll find a suitable opportunity to leave with the others," Zi Chen said.
…
…
"These are the three people you mentioned. They don't look like much. I even wasted a carefully carved statue." On the way back, Gu Jin was a little dissatisfied.
"Don't be careless. The three guys who came back admire Zi Chen a lot. I believe that he should have some tricks up his sleeves." Ye Chen said.
"So what if he has tricks up his sleeves? He's just a Heaven Realm cultivator. I say, you're too careful."
"Brilliant is a peerless beauty in the human world. Nothing can go wrong. As long as we can get her, a mere statue is nothing." Ye Chen's eyes flashed with a lustful light.
"That woman is indeed not bad, but let's make it clear in advance. If we catch her, don't just enjoy it alone." Gu Jin said in a low voice.
"Don't worry. Let me enjoy it for a while. When the time comes, I won't forget about you."
"Alright then. When do we make our move?"
"Three days later."
Zi Chen originally thought that there would be some abnormalities that night. He didn't expect that after staying alert for the whole night, nothing would happen.
It was the same the next day.
