Go to your place?
Chen Fusheng hadn't expected Mu Zhen to invite him like this, and hurriedly said, "Junior Brother should have visited long ago."
Mu Zhen realized that these words were a bit off, and said with a serious face, "Mainly to discuss matters regarding the mineral vein."
"Haha, Senior Sister can decide, there's no need to discuss anything with me. If you really dig up any treasures, just give me some."
"?" Mu Zhen.
"By the way, Senior Sister, do you have time to take a trip down the Black River?"
These past few days, he had heard of disciples being severely injured by demonic beasts. The Purple Python Crossing River Diagram could detect the traces of demonic beasts for him, but the cost was truly astonishing.
On the other hand, Mu Zhen was a water-type Star Master, possessing formidable healing and recovery abilities, coupled with Liu Bai's defense-oriented Armor Series and Wang Lie's Adamantite Series, making for an incredibly high-quality team combination.
"Okay, I don't have anything to do anyway." Mu Zhen also didn't want to stay cooped up on the Flood Dragon Ship.
On the top floor of the Flood Dragon Ship, Xuan Yuanchang looked down at the man and woman talking on the deck. With his Crimson Sun Star, he could sense that the veiled girl was Mu Zhen.
"These past few days, Junior Sister Mu Zhen hasn't stepped out of her room. I thought she was aloof."
Xuan Yuanchang coldly drank the Hundred Flowers Dew in his cup, his brow furrowing slightly. The taste was somewhat different from the Hundred Flowers Dew in the palace.
"Your Highness Yuanchang, you're very interested in Mu Zhen." Xu Changfeng stood with his hands behind his back, glanced at Chen Fusheng, whom he remembered vividly, and was surprised that a handyman had a friendship with a genius girl.
"Since ancient times, heroes have loved beauty, what's wrong with that?"
The gloom in Xuan Yuanchang's eyes flashed by. What was that handyman next to Mu Zhen?
Xu Changfeng said so, but inwardly he was disdainful. Are you a Heavenly Star Master, Xuan Yuanchang?
"Lord Changfeng, you've been in office for ten years, right? You were really lucky back then, standing in the Four Realms before my father broke through." Xuan Yuanchang suddenly smiled.
"Uh, matters of promotion are all decided by the Headquarters." Xu Changfeng was taken aback. What was this about? He naturally knew Xuan Yuanchang's father, but he had never heard that he was going to run for office.
"How could the Headquarters pay attention to ordinary Star Gazing Manors?"
Xuan Yuanchang raised an eyebrow. "The Inspector within the Tian Yuan Kingdom is the Tian Yuan Kingdom's ruler. Back then, you were able to succeed smoothly because the ruler appreciated you. My father even argued with my grandfather over this matter."
"These words are too much for me!" Xu Changfeng understood less and less.
The Heavenly Sun Star Palace's Inspector was equal in status to a Fourth Realm Star Lord, with immense power, mainly targeting the good and evil punishments of Star Masters, and Xu Changfeng had to be constrained by him.
The ruler plus the power of the Inspector? It could be said that the Xuan Yuan Family had absolute control over the territory!
"Lord Changfeng, you don't need to be nervous. I'm here to convey the ruler's meaning, of course, it's a good thing. The position of Vice President of Tian Yuan Academy is vacant. I think you should move over there."
Xu Changfeng narrowed his eyes. Tian Yuan Academy was a royal academy, and from a status point of view, it was a higher level... but he already knew that the secret treasure was about to open.
"Transfer me away, keep me in a nominal position, and you'll be the leader of the secret treasure?"
Xu Changfeng was annoyed, but on the surface, he still said, "I didn't expect that after so many years, the ruler would still think of me. In a few days, I will go to the palace to meet the ruler."
"Oh, is the meaning I conveyed not clear enough?" Xuan Yuanchang's eyes turned cold.
"Wouldn't it be more sincere if I went? Hahaha, tonight is the Ten Thousand Fish Banquet, everyone, hurry up and toast His Royal Highness the Grandson!"
Xu Changfeng suddenly laughed loudly, causing everyone to compete to offer wine.
Chen Fusheng had just arrived at the banquet hall when he saw Wang Lie, looking anxious, standing at the entrance.
"Lie-ge, what are you doing here?"
"Don't even mention it."
Wang Lie was distraught. They had planned to find Chen Fusheng to go to the Black River, but they ran into the Ling Family.
Ling Chen had been slapped, and Ling Yao suffered the pain of a severed arm. Although it had nothing to do with Liu Bai, he had made sarcastic remarks at the time, planting hidden dangers.
Just now, Ling Yao had repeatedly provoked him, forcing him to compete in fishing, with the value of the catch determining the winner.
"How much did you lose?" Chen Fusheng frowned.
"Lost terribly. When I left, we had lost three rounds, close to sixteen thousand Star Stones!"
"What? More than ten thousand?" Chen Fusheng's expression changed drastically.
"He put up the modified treasure ship as collateral!"
Wang Lie wanted to strangle Liu Bai. "He's still gambling. It's obvious he's been set up. The Ling Family found a fishing expert who deliberately lost to him a few times, but in the last three rounds, they caught Spirit Fish one after another!"
Chen Fusheng's face was gloomy. If they continued to lose, he was afraid even their Storage Bags wouldn't be safe!
The gambling area was surrounded by many people, one person's loss was everyone's entertainment.
"What a pity. Although Liu Bai managed to catch a Spirit Fish this time, its value is a bit low. Not only did he lose the bet, but the Spirit Fish also has to be handed over to the other party."
"Hahaha, Liu Bai, this Star Bow Crossbow is a rare treasure, nourished day and night by Star energy. In a few decades, it will transform into a Star Artifact, right?"
Ling Yao played with the small and exquisite bow and crossbow in his palm, using energy to trigger the bow and crossbow to autonomously condense energy, turning it into arrows that could pose a devastating blow to any Other Shore Realm Star Master.
Liu Bai was about to cry. This Star Bow Crossbow was his girlfriend's beloved item, only lent to him for a few days. When she finds out, won't she hang him up and beat him?
"Junior Sister, we've known each other for so long, and I haven't given you a decent gift. It seems to me that this Star Bow Crossbow is more suitable for you."
Ling Yao's severed arm had long healed, and he casually threw the Star Bow Crossbow to Huang Li.
"Thank you, Senior Brother, for the treasure." Huang Li was a little overwhelmed, causing the surrounding female disciples to be jealous, wishing they could throw themselves at Ling Yao right now.
"Hahaha, Liu Bai, weren't you very arrogant a few days ago? Why are you mute today?"
Ling Chen laughed loudly, "Aren't you going to make a comeback? Come on, bet your Storage Bag."
Liu Bai was a little scared. If he lost again, he would have nothing left.
"If you don't dare, then get lost. Remember my words, in the future, when you see people from our Ling Family, give way, or I'll beat you every time I see you!" Ling Chen pointed at him even more arrogantly.
"This damned little bastard!" Liu Bai was about to go crazy, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Chen Fusheng, who stood out from the crowd.
Chen Fusheng shook his palm, making a casting net gesture.
Liu Bai was anxious. Could Chen Fusheng do it?
He admitted that Chen Fusheng had good luck, but after all, he hadn't been on the path of cultivation for long. How could he compete with a fishing expert?
"Still not leaving!" Ling Yao was just short of stepping on his face to humiliate him.
The surrounding people couldn't help but burst into laughter. This gigolo was notorious, and he probably wouldn't be able to hold his head up in the future.
"How do you want to bet!" Liu Bai roared, somewhat crazed, with his head raised.
A flash of wild joy flitted across Ling Yao's eyes. The fishing expert he brought had secretly developed a special scented bait, but the cost was too high. Fortunately, now there was a fool to pay for it.
Some cultivators who knew Liu Bai wanted to come forward to persuade him, but they could only retreat due to Ling Yao's presence.
"I'll take a loss and bet my Star Bow Crossbow against your Storage Bag. I hope all of you Senior Brothers can be witnesses." Ling Yao smiled with utmost confidence.
"Courting death, I'll give you ten breaths!"
The short, middle-aged man next to Ling Yao also stood up to pressure him. Even though his cultivation wasn't high, he enjoyed a great reputation on the banks of the Black River and was also an Alchemist, known as Fire Monkey!
According to the current competition rules, the total harvest within half an incense stick's time determines the victory.
Liu Bai grabbed the Golden Silk Net, and to everyone's astonishment, he didn't cast the net but threw it to the handyman boy walking from afar.
What's going on?
"Chen Fusheng!" Ling Chen's mind buzzed, glaring at the poor wretch who slapped him for the first time. If Ling Yao hadn't reached out and held him back, he would have already rushed up.
Ling Yao's eyes were cold. He didn't expect Chen Fusheng to board the ship as a handyman.
If it hadn't been for the delay caused by Old Han's matter these past few days, their family would have had an accident.
"What's going on here? A cook's handyman isn't cutting vegetables but helping with the bet?" Someone couldn't help but laugh, subtly mocking the cook.
"Liu Bai must be losing his mind, right? Wanting to catch Spirit Fish without strong mental power is just a pipe dream, isn't it?"
More and more people shook their heads, especially after Fire Monkey learned that Chen Fusheng had only been cultivating for a month or so? He almost spat out his overnight meal.
Ling Yao felt suspicious, remembering the fifty pounds of wild game Chen Fusheng had caught...
"Ling Chen, is your injury healed? I was a bit heavy-handed the other day. Don't take it to heart." Chen Fusheng said out of nowhere.
"Chen Fusheng!"
Ling Chen roared with red eyes, "What are you? What makes you think you can fight me?"
"Oh, why can't I fight you?" Chen Fusheng retorted.
"Courting death, if you can win, everything Liu Bai loses will be returned to you!" Ling Chen gritted his teeth.
"Then I'll thank you." Chen Fusheng sneered. Liu Bai's matter was also caused by him, so how could he hide behind the scenes and ignore it?
"You can talk after you win." Ling Chen was really trembling with anger.
"Chen Fusheng, why are you jumping out to take the lead? Get out of here!" Huang Li walked over, extremely annoyed. Because of the severed arm incident, Ling Yao had been cold to her for quite a few days.
But after all, there was an unbreakable relationship between them. Huang just wanted Chen Fusheng to disappear from her world completely.
"This Star Bow Crossbow is quite good." Chen Fusheng turned around and walked towards the net-casting position with the Golden Silk Net.
Huang Li was exasperated, "Just keep acting, I don't care about you anymore!"
Ling Yao felt that something was wrong, but thinking of Fire Monkey's unique scented bait, he put his heart back in his stomach.
"Don't let him catch a single fish!" Ling Yao used sound transmission to tell Fire Monkey.
