Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Ye Chen was too lazy to argue with them. "Yes, yes, think whatever you want."

The Big Dipper can't protect him for a lifetime, so does that mean someone from a poor family can?

Even if someone from a poor family wanted to protect him for life, he wouldn't be willing; he doesn't want to be poor forever.

"Please leave!" Ye Chen gestured for him to leave, and then said nothing more.

Considering they were girls, Ye Chen didn't bother with them.

If there were two men there, he would have just thrown them out.

Ye Chen spoke calmly, without uttering any harsh words, leaving both sides a way out.

These people know he is from Tian Shu, yet they still act so arrogantly.

This suggests that this humble family must also be a behemoth, at least one that is not afraid of the Big Dipper.

That's why I dared to talk to him like that.

These two girls may not represent those from impoverished families, but even when beating a dog, one should consider its owner.

Although he was not afraid of people from humble backgrounds, he did not want to make enemies with them for no reason.

Of course, if the other party doesn't appreciate the gesture, that's a different story!

He also doesn't have a penchant for letting others take advantage of him!

The aloof and beautiful woman took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her temper, and slowly said, "Ye Chen, you must come with us today, otherwise we won't be able to explain ourselves when we get back. Please don't make things difficult for us!"

Ye Chen glanced at her sideways: "What do you mean by not making things difficult for you? Do you expect me to wrong myself? What are you talking about? I've never even met your so-called young sect leader. Why should I go with you? What if you're planning to trick me into a telecom fraud scheme? I have an anti-fraud app, okay!"

"Come on, come on, I've made myself clear. If you want to see a doctor, come to the traditional Chinese medicine clinic yourself. I can't leave here!"

After Ye Chen finished speaking, he waved his hand and dismissed them.

"Ye Chen, you really don't know what's good for you, you'll regret this!" The shy girl snorted coldly.

Ye Chen remained noncommittal, smiling and waving his hand: "Take care, don't bother seeing me out!"

The aloof girl gave Ye Chen a deep look, while the shy girl stamped her foot. In the end, the two left without saying anything more.

Since they couldn't persuade Ye Chen to come, there was nothing they could do. Ye Chen was at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and they couldn't defeat him even if they tried to force him!

So I had no choice but to go back and tell the truth.

The two girls left the store, still somewhat unwilling to give up.

The shy girl muttered under her breath, "What kind of person is he? Seriously, he thinks he's something special. He's just at the eighth level of Qi Refining, yet he acts all high and mighty."

The aloof and beautiful girl frowned and pondered for a while: "He just mentioned some trending short videos, and when we said we hadn't seen them, he seemed to immediately lose interest in talking to us!"

"What's so interesting about that? It's all just mundane entertainment to grab attention. I uninstalled it half a year ago. It really interferes with my cultivation!" The shy girl pouted.

The aloof girl quietly took out her phone and downloaded a new short video app.

"You actually downloaded it? Aren't you afraid you'll be stuck after just one look?" the shy girl warned.

"I have a feeling we've missed some important information. I need to download it and take a look!" the aloof girl said slowly.

"Okay, let's find a place nearby to rest for a bit!"

The shy girl eventually pulled the aloof girl into a coffee shop.

After the short video app was installed, the aloof girl opened it immediately.

The first thing I saw when I opened the app was a cosmetics ad. The aloof girl frowned, but she put up with it to see the information.

The first video that popped up was of a handsome guy showing off his muscles...

And let's not forget his six-pack abs, well-proportioned figure, and decent looks...

After glancing at it a few times, the aloof girl habitually swiped up to skip to the next video.

The next video is of a few boys dancing. Hmm, they danced pretty well, and they looked quite handsome!

The aloof girl habitually scrolled down again...

She scrolled through seven or eight videos in a row, a smile playing on her lips.

It took her a few minutes to remember what she had come there for.

Oh, oh, it seems she's here to see the hot topic Ye Chen mentioned.

The aloof girl cursed inwardly. Sure enough, worldly things can easily make one lose oneself. Before she knew it, she had almost forgotten what she wanted to do!

The shy girl sat to the side and watched the whole thing without saying a word.

Seeing the aloof girl glance at her, the shy girl said with a teasing look, "See? I told you, one look and you wouldn't leave!"

The aloof girl blushed and placed her phone between the two of them to open the trending topics list.

The top trending topic is the Battle for the Southern Territory.

The second most popular topic is the discussion about whether supernatural powers really exist.

The aloof girl and the shy girl exchanged a glance, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.

The War in the Southern Territory? A war has broken out? They had no idea when it happened.

Also, are we already discussing supernatural powers?

This has always been kept secret from the public, hasn't it? Now it's being discussed publicly and has even become a hot topic!

What kind of information did they miss?

The aloof girl selected the top-ranked topic about the War in the Southern Territory and clicked on it.

I never expected the battle in the Southern Territory to be a battle between cultivators, and one that was even related to Ye Chen!

No wonder Ye Chen asked them if they had watched trending videos, now I understand!

"This Ye Chen is really narcissistic. So this is a video about him!" The shy girl pouted.

The aloof girl made a shushing gesture, and the two of them began to watch intently.

They sat in the coffee shop for an hour, doing absolutely nothing but watching videos.

However, they felt no guilt whatsoever for wasting time.

The more I scrolled, the more excited I became, and the more incredible it seemed!

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

Ordinary people watch these videos just for entertainment, but these people are cultivators too.

The video reveals a tremendous amount of information.

First and foremost, the most obvious question concerns Ye Chen's strength.

According to their information, Ye Chen was at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Killing two Foundation Establishment experts—that's the eighth level of Qi Refining?

Don't be ridiculous, who would believe that if I told them!

Although their cultivation levels are not high, they still have a broad perspective.

Is this the kind of battle that can be fought at the Qi Refining stage?

It involves formations, magical artifacts, and flying through the air!

This is something that someone at the Qi Refining Realm could never do.

Even if a Qi Refining cultivator could do it, they couldn't do it as easily as Ye Chen.

They had never witnessed a battle between Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, but they had heard of some.

Based on comprehensive analysis, Ye Chen's strength is clearly far more than just Qi Refining Realm; they would believe it if you said he was a Foundation Establishment expert.

But their information couldn't possibly be wrong, that's the contradiction.

Could it be a recent breakthrough?

But he's only been with Tian Shu for a short time. As far as they know, Ye Chen hasn't even gone to the spiritual veins to cultivate yet.

That's strange!
