Thanks for the Hospitality. I'll Come Again If I Get the Chance.
Is it related to space?
After hearing Sun Yi's explanation, Lu Changzhi thought to himself.
He was still very interested in the concept of space.
After all, in my previous life on Blue Star, I had heard of the ability to Shrinking the Ground to an Inch and make the ends of the earth seem near, but I only listened to it as a legend or fantasized about it.
In this world of cultivation, it is indeed a real possibility.
However, achieving these things through normal cultivation would be an extremely time-consuming process. The Dao of Space is not a law of ordinary heaven and earth, and even Saint and Saint King find it difficult to delve into it.
However, if one possesses the legacy of the Void Dao Manor, this step would obviously become much easier.
"It seems I'll have to look into this thing again."
Lu Changzhi made up his mind, feeling quite surprised.
I never expected that coming here for a walk would lead me to encounter something like this.
I've really had some pretty good luck.
Sun Yi was unaware of Lu Changzhi's thoughts.
If he knew that Lu Changzhi only found it somewhat good, he would be speechless.
At the level of the Void Dao Manor's inheritance, the influence is so great that even their Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce would likely be involved.
When faced with something of sufficiently high value, one's stance or other considerations are often disregarded.
In that instant, many thoughts flashed through Sun Yi's mind.
But in the end, he stopped thinking further.
After all, this matter cannot be confirmed at the moment.
On one side, the truth and the falsehood cannot be changed; on the other side, there is Lu Yuan.
After weighing the pros and cons, it's still not advisable to take the risk.
At this moment, Lu Changzhi had already collected the relics of the Void Dao Manor and smiled:
"Maybe I'm lucky. I'll go back and have my father check. If it's true, then I'll have to thank the Chen Clan."
Upon hearing this, Sun Yi also came to his senses, glanced at Chen Tianyang was unconscious on the ground, and laughed:
"If it is true, once you obtain the opportunity, I will personally inform the Chen Clan of this good news, so that they may share in your joy."
Lu Changzhi glanced at Chen Tianyang, gave Sun Yi a thumbs-up, and exclaimed in praise:
"It has to be Pavilion Master Sun again. I also hope to see Chen Tianyang overjoyed."
After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled.
The matter was never mentioned again.
They continued their methodical search for anything of value to Lu Changzhi.
Seemingly feeling that it was too quiet, after a moment, Sun Yi went forward again, woke up the unconscious Chen Tianyang, and said to him:
"Why did you fall asleep all of a sudden? Come on, wake up! Young Master Lu and I are going to sample some of the finest items here."
Upon hearing this, Chen Tianyang's eyelids twitched violently, and his lips twitched repeatedly. He was first extremely angry, then his face was filled with despair, and then he looked utterly hopeless and dejected.
With pearls and jade preceding it, anything that follows will pale in comparison.
The items that followed included many valuable objects, but in terms of value, they could not compare to the ruins of the Void Dao Manor.
Chen Tianyang followed behind, not daring to speak or show any anger, but his expression on his face almost conveyed the word "despair".
Out of a sense of human compassion that a short, sharp pain is better than a long, drawn-out one, Sun Yi also took pity on Chen Tianyang and stopped torturing him. Instead, he condensed his spiritual energy into a large hand, grabbing handfuls of food with astonishing efficiency.
"What are your thoughts on this trip, Young Master Lu?"
Sun Yi looked at Lu Changzhi and asked with a smile.
"Good."
Lu Changzhi nodded, looked at Chen Tianyang, and smiled:
Thank you for your hospitality. I'll come again when I have the chance.
Chen Tianyang's body convulsed suddenly.
This was the first time he had felt so strongly and directly what it meant for words to be like knives, piercing straight to his heart.
"Don't worry, Patriarch Chen Clan, my Heavenly Treasure Pavilion still has some influence. We managed to secure some resources for your Chen Clan. Besides, this matter ends here; consider it a loss to avoid further trouble."
Before leaving, Sun Yi sent a message of comfort to Chen Tianyang.
However, Chen Tianyang did not react much to these words.
Just kidding. Those "This one's good, take it," "This one's good too, take it too," "And this one, don't miss it" comments just now—he wasn't deaf, he just didn't dare to argue.
Meanwhile, the two had already boarded the flying boat again and left the Chen Clan.
"Master Sun, this tidying up isn't quite as clean as it seems."
On the flying boat, Lu Changzhi thought of something and spoke up.
Although a lot was added, some of the truly essential elements were still retained.
Upon hearing this, Sun Yi smiled and said:
"With the Chen Clan's power, there is pressure from other external forces. If they suffer too much damage at once, they will face great danger, or even be destroyed."
"That situation is not in the best interest of our Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. Therefore, leaving them some hope, giving them something to look forward to, and creating possibilities for them later, so that they feel there is still a chance to make a comeback, is the best course of action."
As he spoke, Sun Yi took out several IOUs and said:
"These all relate to the Chen Clan's training of you, and the related Heavenly Treasure Points compensation will be added according to a certain cycle."
Lu Changzhi's expression shifted slightly, and he said:
"So, what your Heavenly Treasure Pavilion is after is stability?"
"That's certainly a valid interpretation." Chen Yi nodded.
"In times of chaos, one can profit by helping both sides, but if the chaos reaches a certain scale, although one may gain great short-term profits, one will lose long-term benefits. Heavenly Treasure Pavilion also attaches great importance to this aspect."
Lu Changzhi nodded slightly.
For a power that created the Heavenly Treasure Points and whose influence covered a very wide area, this was indeed the case.
"So, is this the Chen Clan's approach, something you prefer, or is it the norm...?"
Lu Changzhi suddenly asked.
He sensed something familiar in what Sun Yi had just said.
"It's not my preference." Sun Yi shook his head.
"As leaders of the sect, we have all received specialized training."
"Understood."
Lu Changzhi nodded, but couldn't help but smile inwardly.
It seems that Heavenly Treasure Pavilion has not only brought advanced service concepts, but also maintained its consistent practice of making empty promises.
The Sun Clan is like someone using a carrot as bait to lure a donkey along the way.
After chatting casually for a few more minutes, Lu Changzhi returned to his residence.
With a thought, he summoned his External Avatar, then directly accessed Mu Fan's information and chose to Descent.
"When you're out and about, you really have to be careful."
As Descent, Lu Changzhi secretly shook his head.
Judging from Sun Yi's reaction, he had somewhat underestimated the value of the items related to the Void Dao Manor.
During this period, Sun Yi has performed very well and has been very attentive to his work.
But he knew very well that this was simply because of his identity and the value he held to them.
But all of this is ultimately unreliable.
Sun Yi was ultimately an outsider, not an accomplice like the patriarch.
If the other party gets any ideas because of this, it will ultimately cause more trouble for us.
"We still need someone reliable to keep things in order."
Lu Changzhi thought to himself.
Not only must they be reliable, but they must also be obedient to you; in short, they must be hard-working employees who are willing to risk their lives for you.
Huang Pi's performance is not bad right now, but that's mostly because of his current status; he's still lacking something.
At this moment, the scenery before my eyes changed.
Lu Changzhi returned to the area beneath the Mechanism Holy Island.
