Moreover, there must be a powerful figure behind them.

Otherwise, even S-rank Talent wouldn't be unable to foresee the other party's fate.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about the other party falling into any traps or tricks.

But does such a thing as concealing the secrets of heaven really exist in real society?

This is S-rank Talent, how can this not be acceptable?

Tsk tsk, this world is far too dangerous.

Of course, it's not to say there's no chance at all. If you spend a long time in close proximity to the other person and keep looking at their Fate Threads, you might be able to see something. But Chen Luo doesn't know the other person, so he just needs to make sure they're alright.

"I guess I'll just have to live in Different World from now on. I can't say I can't beat them, but I always feel like if I beat the younger ones, the older ones will come after me."

Chen Luo's current strength is enough to make him invincible in this world, so there's no problem with him, since he can run away. But the problem is that it's unnecessary.

S-rank Talent represents the current upper limit of Talent User's strength, not the upper limit after the full revival of spiritual energy.

Those powerful figures trapped in various alternate-dimensional worlds must be even stronger.

Although Chen Luo was confident that he could grow rapidly before the other party was completely unsealed, who knew what treasures those big shots had given to their inherited forces when they fought in the Abyss last time.

Although offensive magical artifacts should not be given away in principle, a woman dressed in Chen Luo's school uniform who looks like she's about to jump off a building must have some good magical artifacts on her.

There's no need to provoke them.

So let's continue living in this Different World.

Let Rong Chen Luo develop for a few more months, then go and crush the others.

Besides, Chen Luo knows nothing in his own world and has no suitable way to customize services for others. He can only passively wait for commissions to come to him, but in other worlds, Chen Luo can go looking for commissions.

This world is indeed dangerous. I finally managed to come out, and I've encountered so many strange things.

Simply put, it's much easier to get Primogem in the Different World than in the main world.

Moreover, they are less likely to get entangled in dangerous things.

For example, right now...

"Fellow Daoist, may I borrow a moment of your time?" The girl who was just standing by the building, ready to jump, appeared next to Chen Luo without him noticing. She was flying on a sword, keeping pace with Chen Luo.

"No way," Chen Luo refused.

So what if you can fly? Anyone can fly!

And are we that close?

"Sigh, are they really that heartless? I thought that after finally meeting a fellow Daoist, I could be different from those ordinary people. Master was right after all; none of the people down the mountain are friendly." The girl muttered to herself as she stood on her Flying Sword.

"Don't call me fellow Daoist. Also, don't you know to mention your talents before talking to others? Your current talents are so strange. What if one of them has a talent that can borrow someone's lifespan? So, you can't easily agree to other people's requests for help before you know their background," Chen Luo said after glancing at the other person.

The other party must have come down from the mountain, meaning they are a cultivator. They might seem to lack common sense, but at least they know to use their ability to suggest things to hide the fact that they can fly on a sword.

"Oh, is that so? Talents really are strange. But Master said that one shouldn't easily reveal their talents when communicating or fighting with others." The girl paused for a moment.

"But you're asking for help right now," Chen Luo emphasized.

"That makes a lot of sense. Hmm... My talent is Sword Immortal, S-rank Talent Immortal." After hesitating for a moment, the girl revealed her talent.

"..."

You actually believed my nonsense.

And your talent is actually that of a sword immortal?

Isn't this the same talent that someone else possessed, which combined cultivation and natural ability, mentioned in that little booklet about the Dark World?

"My talent is Wind Element. By the way, I haven't asked your name yet," Chen Luo introduced himself.

"I can tell you're Wind Element. My name is... uh, my name is Su Yuan." After Chen Luo introduced himself, the girl hesitated for a moment before speaking.

However, it sounds like a pseudonym, or a secular name.

"So here's the question: why did you come to me? There are plenty of other people out there," Chen Luo asked as he parked the car.

Chen Luo had a premonition that this person would definitely send him a request.

Since there was Primogem, Chen Luo didn't mind talking to the other party for a while longer.

"Because you have a sword heart. Although I can sense that there are a few Talent User in this city, my master said that after going down the mountain, we should be careful of those Talent User and cultivators of unknown origin." After seeing Chen Luo stop, the girl jumped off the Flying Sword.

The Flying Sword instantly flew into the girl's hand and then disappeared.

"Then I am also Talent User of unknown origin."

"You're different. You have a sword heart. My master said that Herrscher of the Heart who can condense a sword heart generally have no distracting thoughts. Such people are not bad people; at most, they are battle maniacs. So, you can ask them for help. At least they are more trustworthy than those with even more mysterious origins. I've searched this city for a long time and haven't seen anyone with a sword heart like you," the girl said matter-of-factly.

"Kenshin..." Chen Luo felt completely innocent when he heard the reason why the girl had come to him.

Chen Luo never expected that the other party would come to him because of this matter.

As for the matter of sword heart, the main blame should be placed on the Tai Xu Sword Qi, because the entry point of Tai Xu Sword Qi requires having a sword heart.

Although the sword spirit of the two worlds may be different, don't forget that Chen Luo later completed the Tai Xu Sword Qi through the talent panel.

Based on the characteristic that S-rank Talent purchased through talent acquisition automatically adapt to all worlds, Chen Luo suspected that his Tai Xu Sword Qi was the same.

At least the other party realized that he had a sword heart.

"It's relatively easy to repay someone who possesses a sword heart; all you have to do is fight them. I'll fight you, can you help me?" the girl asked expectantly.

"No, no need. I don't want to fight with you. Just tell me what's wrong, and I'll see if I can help you." Chen Luo quickly shook his head.

Chen Luo quickly refused after hearing the girl's words.

Your master is really unreliable. Who would want to fight with others all the time?

Well, it's not that there aren't any, like Childe and Brother Jie, but even if someone has a sword heart, it doesn't mean they want to fight.

"No, that won't do. Master said that the worst thing to do down in the mountains is to owe someone a favor. Money debts are easy to repay, but debts of gratitude are hard to repay." This time it was the girl's turn to shake her head.

"???"

"Good grief, so you mean I'm trying to help you out, and you're going to beat me up?"

Chen Luo didn't understand, and Chen Luo was greatly shocked.

"No, no, it's not about beating you up, it's just a friendly spar," the girl shook her head and corrected.

"I'm A-rank Talent User, you're S-rank Talent User, and you want to spar with me?" Chen Luo tried to reason with the girl.

"No, no, no, I only meant a simple Sword Skill exchange. I can sense that your swordsmanship must be quite impressive." Su Yuan shook her head.

"No," Chen Luo refused decisively.

Chen Luo continued to refuse to admit how skilled he was at swordsmanship, and also refused to fight his opponent.

"Well..."

"I'm just asking you, do you want help?"

"Think."

"Then don't even think about fighting me."

"But if I don't spar with you, how can I repay your favor?" the girl said, somewhat annoyed.

Dealing with people is such a hassle.

"How about this, you answer a few questions for me, and that will be your way of repaying my favor, okay?"

"Yes, but it can't be related to sect traditions or cultivation techniques," Su Yuan nodded and said.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in that. First of all, why are you wearing our school uniform?" Chen Luo asked, pointing to the other person's clothes.

"Oh, your school uniform? What a coincidence. Well, my master told me that I need to go down the mountain to gain experience, and to do that, I need an identity, so he sent me to school. And of course, I need to wear a school uniform to attend school. Speaking of which, besides finding people to spar with, I think I also need to register at the school."

"... How long have you been down the mountain?"

"It's been less than a month, I've been on the road the whole time."

"So... do you know that summer vacation is already on?"

"Summer vacation?" Su Yuan tilted her head.

It seems like they're not familiar with this word.

"You... went up the mountain when you were a child?" Chen Luo asked uncertainly.

"Yes." The girl nodded.

"No wonder... If that's the case, how did you get to Xinghai City? Do you know how to take the high-speed rail?" Chen Luo asked with some confusion.

"It flew here," the girl said matter-of-factly.

"Huh? Flying here? Flying for a month?" Chen Luo was stunned for a moment.

"Well, my master said that if I want to learn how to go down the mountain to gain experience, I must first learn to be self-reliant. I don't know how to take high-speed trains or buses, so I simply flew directly from Land of Shu to Xinghai City."

"Land of Shu???" Chen Luo was surprised.

If Chen Luo remembers correctly, Sichuan is about half of China away from Xinghai City.

What a silly girl!

Based on the flight speed the other party just demonstrated, it shouldn't be much slower than a car, and it probably wasn't even at full speed.

So here's the question: if it took almost a month to fly from Sichuan to Xinghai City, it must have involved a very long detour, right? The whole of China?

"Yes, I am..."

"Gurgle..."

The other person's words were interrupted by a voice, and Chen Luo also looked at the other person's stomach.

Chapter 382 She's your aunt!

As it turns out, although the trait of Tsundere is somewhat outdated, there are still many people who possess it in reality.

This also proves that sometimes Tsundere is not due to certain environmental factors, because even a sword fairy girl with little experience living down in the mountains would do the same.

Chen Luo couldn't help but look at the girl in front of him who had just confidently said she wasn't hungry, but was now devouring KFC.

You and your stomach make me laugh.

As for why Chen Luo was so sure the other party wanted to eat something?

[Hungry, please have a meal]: Please, poor Su Yuan, have a meal that satisfies her.

Reward: 50 Primogem + Purifying Dust Technique

Difficulty: One star

Chen Luo knew about this Purifying Dust Technique; it was the simple spell the other person had mentioned when Chen Luo asked why their clothes were still so clean after a month of wandering.

Well, it's actually quite worth it.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist. But I won't owe you a favor this time. I know that food costs money, but I don't have any currency, so this is all I can give you. This is very valuable, but along the way, I've tried to buy things with it, but no one has sold it to me." After Chen Luo extended a tissue, the other party took it, wiped his mouth, and then said to Chen Luo.

"It's just 50 yuan... nothing to worry about." Chen Luo waved his hand.

For Chen Luo, making money from Primogem is enough.

"No, no, my master said that you must never owe anyone a favor while you're down in the mountains. These are all karmic consequences." As Su Yuan spoke, she took something out and placed it in front of Chen Luo.

"..." Chen Luo stared blankly at the thing in front of him.

Hmm, one copper coin.

Of course, Chen Luo was more concerned about the cause and effect that Su Yuan's master had mentioned than the copper coin.

This person's thinking is way too far-fetched; having just entered the world, he's already trying to sever all ties of cause and effect.

What's the point of entering the world then?

In real life, it's inevitable to owe favors; it's just that some favors are big and some are small.

"I know this thing is called an antique in the mortal world, and it should be quite valuable. At least enough to pay for a meal," Su Yuan said proudly.

This was information she had gathered after spending so much time in the mortal realm, having traveled for a month...

"Moreover, this isn't just a copper coin. It's a copper coin that has been buried in a blessed land of immortals for many years. It has been left in our sect for so long that this copper coin has long since acquired some exorcising power. It's just that I don't know why, when I tell other people about it, they all say that I'm some kind of charlatan." Su Yuan scratched her head in confusion.
