You were made to take the blame and go to jail, but you weren't made a master of both medicine

After finishing, Ye Chen ordered his men to clean up the battlefield.

These bodies will take some time to process.

Qin Ran returned to the Black Emperor Consortium.

He found a quiet place and prepared to rest for a while.

He had expended a lot of his internal energy in that battle.

Ji Ruyan followed him in.

"When do you plan to go back?" Ji Ruyan asked.

"Tomorrow."

"Although we won today's battle, it was a narrow victory. Fortunately, you destroyed the high-level Chaos Demonic Essence Array at the crucial moment."

At this point, Qin Ran realized a problem.

My master gave me four brocade pouches before.

Three have already been used, and there's only one left.

Qin Ran sighed, "I'm almost out of my magic pouches; I only have one left."

"Is it disposable?"

"yes."

"I thought I could use it indefinitely," Ji Ruyan apologized.

"There's no such thing as a free lunch. Forget about it, there's always a way out."

"You should hurry up and cultivate, and master the third part of the Nine Revolutions Divine Dragon Technique as soon as possible."

Qin Ran nodded and didn't say anything more.

Afterwards, the two of them sat down to meditate and cultivate themselves.

Soon it was evening.

Ye Chen arranged a dinner to entertain Qin Ran and Ji Ruyan.

We were very grateful for their help this time.

Otherwise, the Black Emperor Consortium would not have been able to defeat Yu Guozhang so easily.

"Ye Chen, did you tell your second master about what happened today?" Qin Ran asked.

"I said so."

What was his reaction when he found out?

Ye Chen looked at Qin Ran: "I feel he's quite calm, he didn't have any intense reaction. I'm a little confused about him now."

Qin Ran's expression was somewhat complicated after hearing this.

Ye Xiaotian was surprisingly calm.

He probably already knew who the mole was.

However, if he knew, he would probably say so.

He couldn't possibly know this and deliberately kept it to himself.

"Okay, I'll talk to him later."

Ye Chen raised his glass: "Qin Ran, thanks to you this time, I'd like to toast you."

Qin Ran smiled and picked up his wine glass.

They achieved a resounding victory in today's battle.

But Qin Ran sensed that they weren't really happy.

Think about it too.

Over the years, Yu Guozhang has embezzled more than 800 billion yuan from the Black Emperor Consortium.

They definitely can't get that large sum of money back.

In addition, they lost many brothers today.

Even if we win, the losses will be enormous.

The atmosphere at the dinner was somewhat oppressive.

Especially Long Shuo and the other two.

Qin Ran could tell that they cared a lot about their brotherly bond.

However, they were betrayed by Yu Guozhang.

This is a significant blow to them.

After finishing their meal, everyone left the restaurant.

"I've already booked a hotel for you. Get some rest when you get back."

"Okay, if there's nothing else, we'll head back to Xi'an tomorrow," Qin Ran said to Ye Chen.

"Okay, I'll send a private plane to take you back tomorrow."

"This is troublesome."

Ye Chen forced a smile: "There's no need for us to be so polite. I'll be going to China again later, and we'll get together then."

"it is good."

Afterwards, Ye Chen sent a car to take Qin Ran and Ji Ruyan back to the hotel.

Upon arrival, the two got out of the car.

The hotel staff led them to their room.

Once in the room, Qin Ran lay down on the spacious bed.

He was reflecting on the events of the day.

Qin Ran knew in his heart that with his current strength, he was not able to completely eradicate the demonic path.

Although he won all of these battles, he relied on external help on several occasions.

If it weren't for the few brocade pouches his master gave him, he would have had a hard time surviving against these high-level demonic cultivators.

As time went on, Qin Ran also felt the pressure increasing.

To put it bluntly, he's living a life of constant danger.

The previous eight chosen ones of the Dragon Clan all died at the hands of the demonic path.

When facing demonic cultivators, Qin Ran could spout nonsense, saying that miracles are created by a select few.

But when he's alone, he also worries that he might die one day.

As the saying goes, if you walk by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet.

At the same time, his phone rang.

Qin Ran took out her phone; it was Ye Xiaotian.

He got up and answered the phone.

"Second Master."

"You brat, you really didn't disappoint me. You solved Ye Chen's problem with just one move. You truly are my good disciple." Ye Xiaotian said with a smile on the other end of the phone.

"Now that I've solved this problem for you, shouldn't you leave Dragon Prison and return to the Black Emperor Consortium?"

"Well, I'll think about it some more. Back when I was fighting on overseas battlefields, I made quite a few enemies. Going out would still be risky for me. I've gotten used to life here and don't want to go back to living a life of constantly hiding from my enemies."

Qin Ran smiled and said, "Alright, then you can handle it yourself. Second Master, when Ye Chen told me that he was reporting to you, you didn't react much and remained very calm. Did you already know that the mole was Yu Guozhang?"

"I really don't know, I'm not that knowledgeable."

"So you're not surprised at all that Yu Guozhang betrayed you?"

Ye Xiaotian laughed and said, "I was prepared for this. We're all brothers, and I feel the same way about them all. It doesn't matter who betrays me."

"If we have to rank them, Long Shuo can be ranked first. Now that we are mentally prepared, it doesn't matter who the mole is."

"I won't be angry, sad, or feel it's unfair. Everything is predestined, and it's not up to me to decide."

Qin Ran smiled.

Ye Xiaotian has a really good attitude.

For years he has been hiding in the Kunlong Prison, living a life of seclusion.

He must have already fallen in love with this kind of life.

Having fought for half his life, it was rare to find a place where he could live carefree, so naturally he didn't want to leave.

"Second Master, now that things are done here, I'm heading back to Xijing tomorrow."

"Okay, you can go back now. By the way, how's your Nine Revolutions Divine Dragon Technique practice going?"

"I'm almost at the third stage."

"Hahaha, not bad, not bad! Master believes in you. You've done me a great favor this time, and I won't let you work for nothing. I'll transfer 10% of my shares to you!"

Qin Ran smiled and said, "Then thank you very much, Second Master."

"Thank you is too formal for our relationship. From now on, you will be a shareholder of the Black Emperor Consortium. Your status in Black Emperor will be no less than that of Ye Chen and the other three."

"Okay! Got it."

After chatting for a while, Qin Ran hung up the phone.

He walked onto the balcony with his hands behind his back.

Looking at the night view of the city that never sleeps, he fell into deep thought once again.

Ye Xiaotian was taken into the Dragon-Trapping Prison by his master.

In the end, it was his master who saved him.

So here's the question.

Was it a coincidence that his master brought him back to the Dragon Prison, or was there another purpose behind it?

Qin Ran always felt that there were some inside stories he didn't know...
