Humans, starting with chat groups, rampage across the heavens.

The Third Young Master of Wutan City: "Please enlighten me, Brother Lu."

Da Feng and Xiao Buxing: "Front row! The melon seeds are ready, let's sit back and listen to the gossip."

Princess of Peach Blossom Island: "Huh? What does this have to do with gossip?"

The young constable, Da Feng, said, "Uh, this 'gossip' is not the same as that 'gossip.' This 'gossip' refers to listening to other people's idle chatter and embarrassing stories."

Princess of Peach Blossom Island: "Oh, I want to hear the gossip too!"

Lu Chen: "Ahem! Everyone, sit down. Little Sunflower Mom's Class... But I digress. Let me ask Brother Huo a question first: are you really that concerned about this engagement?"

The Third Young Master of Wutan City said, "If Brother Lu hadn't brought it up today, I would have completely forgotten that I was engaged."

Lu Chen: "Then let me talk about the follow-up effects of this annulment of the engagement."

Lu Chen: "First of all, your Xiao family lost face when someone came to annul the engagement. Then your father's prestige within the clan was also damaged. After that, you even formed a life-and-death feud with the Yunlan Sect."

Lu Chen: "Given the current situation, Huo Huo's family is only a family in the remote small town of Wutan City, while the Nalan family is a famous Dou Wang family in the capital, not to mention the Yunlan Sect, the strongest force in the Jia Ma Empire."

Lu Chen: "Anyone would feel that this marriage is mismatched."

Lu Chen: "In addition, we are all young people. If we put ourselves in each other's shoes, we are all young people, and no one wants to entrust the rest of their life to a complete stranger."

Lu Chen: "Moreover, in the original novel, the compensation Nalan Yanran offered after announcing the annulment of the engagement was quite generous."

Lu Chen: "Not only did they return all the betrothal gifts from back then, but they also paid tens of thousands of gold coins and some cultivation resources as compensation, and even provided four bottles of Qi Gathering Powder as additional compensation."

Lu Chen: "Moreover, Nalan Yanran also promised that Brother Huohuo could join the Yunlan Sect for cultivation."

Lu Chen: "In our previous world, this would be like your fiancée wanting to break off the engagement, not only returning all the betrothal gifts, but also giving you a house, a car, and introducing you to a very good job."

Lu Chen: "You couldn't find such a good thing even with a lantern!"

The young constable of Da Feng said, "Indeed! It seems that Brother Xiao's fiancée isn't so heartless after all."

Lu Chen: "So I think that Brother Huo Huo can resolve this matter privately with Nalan Yanran. This way, the Xiao family won't lose face, and Brother Huo Huo can also get a windfall for free."

Lu Chen: "Besides, Brother Huo Huo probably wishes this marriage never happened, right? Otherwise, how will he explain it to his rich girlfriend?"

The young constable Da Feng exclaimed, "What?! Brother Xiao already has such a generous fiancée, and now he even has a rich young girlfriend? That's outrageous! I'm so jealous!"

The Third Young Master of Wutan City: "Thank you for your guidance, Brother Lu!"

The young constable from Da Feng said, "Brother Xiao, while I think Brother Lu's suggestion is quite good, I still hope to see you personally shout 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate a young man's potential. Such a classic scene will be lost forever if we miss it!"

Seeing Xu Qi'an's teasing words, Xiao Yan didn't reply, but began to seriously consider Lu Chen's suggestion.

In Xiao Yan's opinion, the result Lu Chen mentioned was indeed the best.

Moreover, after listening to Lu Chen's analysis, Xiao Yan no longer felt angry towards Nalan Yanran.

After only a short while, Xiao Yan put the matter aside.

Because he has more important things to do now.

The Third Young Master of Wutan City: "Brother Lu, is there any way to help my master wake up sooner?"

The young constable, Da Feng, exclaimed, "Oh, Brother Xiao, you're getting into character so quickly! You're already calling me 'Master'?"

Wu Tancheng's Third Young Master: "I know Brother Xu is envious, but this is something you can't envy. *smug*

The young constable, Da Feng: "Giving the middle finger.jpg!"

Lu Chen: "I think that after absorbing your battle qi for three years, Yao Chen is most likely in a semi-awake state, or even fully awake, but just wants to hide in the shadows and observe your character."

Lu Chen: "After all, the reason he's ended up in this state is because he was betrayed by his apprentice. Why would he easily trust someone else again?"

Lu Chen: "I can offer you two options: one is for you to continue injecting battle qi into the ring, and perhaps he will wake up after taking a few more breaths."

Lu Chen: "Another way is for you to pretend to throw the ring into the latrine. I bet Yao Chen will be unable to resist coming out to see you."

The Third Young Master of Wutan City: "..."

Princess of Peach Blossom Island: "Pfft..."

The young constable of Da Feng said, "Brother Xiao, I personally think that Brother Lu's second plan is absolutely brilliant. I strongly suggest that you give it a try."

The Third Young Master of Wutan City: "Brother Lu, are you sure you're serious about this second method? I'm afraid if I do it, Yao Chen won't take me as his disciple after he comes out; he'll just kill me outright."

Lu Chen: "You only asked about the method to wake him up, so tell me if that method even works?"

Wu Tancheng's Third Young Master: "Uh! Anyway, I still have to thank Brother Lu. I'll go try the first method right away."

The young constable, Da Feng, said, "I also need to continue studying the case files."

Lu Chen: "Wait a moment!"

Lu Chen: "Brother Huo Huo, can I borrow your storage ring for a bit? I'm going to store some things in it, and I'll return it to you when I'm done."

The Third Young Master of Wutan City: "No problem."

The Third Young Master of Wutan City said, "Anyway, there's not much in my storage ring. As long as Brother Lu doesn't mind the small space, feel free to use it."

The storage ring in Xiao Yan's hand is the lowest grade, with an internal space of only three or four cubic meters.

This was a reward given to him by his father in the name of the family when he broke through to the Dou Zhe level three years ago. Otherwise, with the little money Xiao Yan had, he simply couldn't afford a storage ring worth nearly 100,000 gold coins.

Xiao Yan then took out several personal items from his storage ring and sent them to Lu Chen in a red envelope.

……

Yingluoguxing.

After receiving Xiao Yan's storage ring, Lu Chen thanked him and closed the chat window.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo, who were standing next to Lu Chen, were completely unaware that a dark iron ring had appeared on Lu Chen's finger without his knowledge.

The three continued walking forward, and a light source gradually appeared in the distance.

After walking for a short while, Lu Chen and his two companions finally arrived in front of the light source.

It was an ancient and dilapidated temple, with ancient lamps and Buddha statues inside, flickering with candlelight.

In front of the ancient temple, a Bodhi tree stands as vigorous as a dragon, its entire body withered, with only five or six green leaves scattered about two meters above the ground. Each leaf is crystal clear, shimmering with green light, like a piece of jade.
