The World Comes and Goes for Profit

Chen Yan lowered his gaze to the white jade chair beneath Mister You, then said:

"It's just a chair. For you and me, what does it matter whether it's comfortable or not?"

Mister You merely smiled and shook his head.

"That may be true, but when those people see the famed True Person Ducang, the ruler of Chenping Continent, sitting on a chair like this, who knows what they'll think?"

Chen Yan fell silent for a moment. He seemed to have caught the meaning behind Mister You's words.

"What happened?"

he asked.

"Nothing too serious, but nothing trivial, either."

Mister You replied:

"While you were away at the Endless Sea, several juniors who came to Du Cang Mountain were attacked. Liang Qianbo of Fengjian Valley was even killed on the spot."

Liang Qianbo.

Chen Yan had a faint impression of that name. Back when he and Si Youyou had joined Fengjian Valley in another cycle of Reincarnation, Liang Qianbo had been one of Qingjin Stream's most outstanding rising disciples, and Fengjian Valley had held him in high regard.

But he hadn't become Qingjin Stream's Chief Disciple.

That was because Si Youyou had been simply too monstrous.

During the eight years Si Youyou spent at Fengjian Valley, she had even eclipsed Qin Qingyu of Xingtian Gate.

Compared to Si Youyou, Liang Qianbo had been no more than a firefly trying to rival the bright moon.

But in the current timeline, Chen Yan hadn't brought Si Youyou to Fengjian Valley. Instead, he had founded Beiguan Sect.

That had dramatically changed Liang Qianbo's life.

He had become Qingjin Stream's Chief Disciple, earned the right to attend the Heavenly Peak Dao Seeking gathering, and made a name for himself in Chenping Continent's cultivation world.
