The major factions were extremely efficient; they delivered the money that very afternoon.
"Brother Chen, would you be willing to come to my Crown Prince Mansion? As long as you agree, you'll only need to obey my orders. You can ignore everyone else."
The more Qian Renxue thought about it after leaving, the more satisfied she became. A talent like Chen Yu had to be brought under her command.
Chen Yu shook his head. "Your Highness, I'm still young. I need to focus on my studies."
"Besides, my teacher assigned me a task that I must complete alone. I can't ask anyone else for help."
"Most importantly, I don't know my teacher's attitude. I can't rashly join another faction."
Qian Renxue wasn't angered by his words. The identity of Xue Qinghe might not work, but she had another identity. She believed Chen Yu would make the right choice when the time came.
"Since Brother Chen has a task to complete, let's forget this matter for now. If you come to Heaven Dou City in the future, you may visit me at the Crown Prince Mansion."
After Qian Renxue left, Chen Yu took out the bank cards given to him by the various factions.
The cards could be used to withdraw money at any Spirit Bank branch across the continent, making them safe and convenient.
If Chen Yu wanted to refine gold, he needed to withdraw the Gold Soul Coins. However, a small city like Nuoding City had no Spirit Bank branch, so he would have to travel to a larger city to collect the money.
But Chen Yu had no plans to leave and withdraw it yet. He didn't even have a storage Soul Tool. He couldn't exactly put Gold Soul Coins into the Bitter Sea, could he? Besides, withdrawing money as soon as he received the cards would make him look inexperienced and embarrass his "master."
He had no need to spend money right now. He could withdraw it later.
Just then, a ding sounded in his mind.
[ Ding, The Degenerates' Li Xingyun and Mortal Han Li have joined the Chat Group. ]
Oh-ho, newcomers had arrived.
[ Xiao Yan: Welcome, newcomers. Post some photos. ] [ Chen Yu: Welcome, newcomers. ] [ Huang Rong: Welcome, newcomers. ]
The Degenerates World.
A handsome young man with innocent eyes and a pure, adorable girl walked down the mountain path. They were Li Xingyun, who had just come down the mountain, and his junior sister, Lin Xuan.
"Who's there? Come out!"
Li Xingyun suddenly shouted, drawing his sword and vigilantly scanning his surroundings.
Lin Xuan jumped at Li Xingyun's reaction. Though she asked no questions, she likewise drew her sword and cautiously watched the area around them.
After a long while without any movement, Lin Xuan looked at Li Xingyun in confusion. "Senior Brother, there's no one here. What's wrong with you?"
At that moment, Li Xingyun was warily staring at the screen before him. Without turning his head, he said, "Junior Sister, can't you see the thing in front of me?"
Lin Xuan looked in front of Li Xingyun and saw nothing, so she sheathed the broken sword in her hand.
"Senior Brother, stop fooling around. Let's hurry down the mountain. I'm already hungry."
Li Xingyun also sheathed his sword and scratched his head in confusion. Why couldn't Junior Sister see it? Was I the only one who could?
As he wondered, a new message appeared on the screen before him.
[ Chen Yu: Huohuo, who entered the group before us? How did you guide the newcomers? ] [ Chen Yu: Ye Fan and I didn't need anyone to guide us back then. The newcomers now need your guidance. ] [ Chen Yu: @Xiao Yan, Huohuo, get out here and welcome the guests. ] [ Xiao Yan: Chen Yu, wcnnngt. ] [ Xiao Yan: You two newcomers, everyone in this group comes from a different world. The Chat Group is controlled with your mind. Just think about controlling it in your head, and sending messages works the same way. ]
Li Xingyun's eyes lit up when he saw that message. Different worlds? Was that true?
So he tried sending a message.
[ Li Xingyun: Who are you people? What exactly is this Chat Group? Are we really not from the same world? ]
He could actually send messages. How amazing.
"Senior Brother, what's going on with you? Are we leaving or not?"
Lin Xuan's words pulled Li Xingyun back to his senses. He chuckled. "Nothing, Junior Sister. Let's go down the mountain!"
Mortal World.
Han Li, who had just counter-killed Doctor Mo, stared cautiously at the screen before him. Having just gone through the matter of possession, he was extremely wary of the suddenly appearing screen.
When he saw Xiao Yan's message, Han Li's pupils contracted. What did it mean that they weren't in the same world?
However, he didn't send a message to ask. Instead, he cautiously began studying the Chat Group as Xiao Yan had instructed.
He would let Li Xingyun test the waters first. There was no rush for him.
[ Chen Yu: Huohuo, dare you send the corresponding Chinese characters for the pinyin you posted? ] [ Xiao Yan: That isn't important. Brother Chen, do you know about Li Xingyun and Han Li's lives? ] [ Li Xingyun: What do you mean, Brother Xiao? Didn't you say we aren't from the same world? Why do you think Chen Yu would know about my affairs? ] [ Xiao Yan: That's not easy to explain. Just think of it as Brother Chen having read storybooks about our lives. ] [ Li Xingyun: Ours? Has he read yours too? ] [ Chen Yu: Why explain? Just serve it up. ] [ Ding, group member Chen Yu uploaded the The Degenerates animated series and related videos. ] [ Chen Yu: I stopped watching The Degenerates after the Commander died. I just couldn't get interested anymore. The rest are merely some videos I came across while scrolling. ]
The Degenerates World.
Li Xingyun froze!
Was that really his future?
His master had died.
Yuan Tiangang had been killed by him.
His junior sister had become another man's wife and was even pregnant with another man's twins.
If all that was true, then he...
No! His master couldn't die, and his junior sister could only be his. No one could take her away.
Li Xingyun turned around and pulled Lin Xuan back the way they had come. He had to find his master first, then seek out Yuan Tiangang.
Wasn't it just becoming emperor? Then he would do it.
"Senior Brother, what happened? You've been acting strange since earlier. What is going on?"
Lin Xuan was utterly confused by Li Xingyun. Weren't they going down the mountain to gain experience? Why were they rushing back?
"Master is in danger."
Li Xingyun didn't explain further. Explaining something as miraculous as the Chat Group now would only waste time. He had to see his master before Yuan Tiangang did.
As long as he agreed to become emperor for Yuan Tiangang, his master should be safe.
Although Lin Xuan was puzzled about why her senior brother would say such a thing, this clearly wasn't the time to ask. Finding their master was the priority. Once they saw him, her senior brother would surely explain.
[ Xiao Yan: What a perfectly good hand, played into a complete mess. ] [ Ye Fan: The collision between reality and ideals. In chaotic times, one cannot control one's own fate. ] [ Xiao Yan: Unable to control his own fate? I think he had plenty of fun playing around. ] [ Xiao Yan: If Yuan Tiangang hadn't protected him, he would've died long ago. ] [ Xiao Yan: So many people out there wanted him dead. What gave him the right to think he could live an ordinary life? ]
After sending those messages, Chen Yu said nothing more. He didn't comment much on Li Xingyun. It was simply a personal choice.
What interested him was Han Li. He wondered how old Han Li was now. Had he entered the cultivation world yet? Chen Yu wanted to trade for some Green Liquid.
Unfortunately, Han Li didn't speak. Clearly, this Han Li wasn't a complete novice. At the very least, he had experienced a battle of wits and courage with Doctor Mo, and he might even have entered the cultivation world already.
He also wondered whether Han Li's title as the "teamwipe engine" would follow him into other worlds. Chen Yu had no desire to get his entire group wiped out.
