Pill Saint, Weapon Emperor, Array God, Unparalleled in the World

Gu Dingshan's back tensed instantly.

He gritted his teeth and snorted heavily through his nose.

He waved his hand, and four large wooden crates fell to the ground.

Bang bang bang!

"The 1.5 million is all here. If you don't believe me, count it yourself."

Every word is tinged with pain.

These spirit stones not only emptied the Gu family's coffers, but also forced them to sell their two spirit mines at low prices to raise the funds.

A spirit mine costs far more than a million spirit stones, but mining requires both cost and time.

It's simply impossible to gather that many in one day.

The only solution is to sell it off cheaply.

The two spirit mines were sold for less than half of the market price.

The buyer knew he needed the money urgently, so he tried to drive the price down so hard that he had no room to bargain.

Gu Dingshan stared at the four boxes, feeling as if a piece of flesh had been ripped from his chest.

He lived for over fifty years, accumulating most of his wealth, and then just like that, he gave it all away to someone else.

Luo Chen glanced at the box and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"There's no need for the count. Although you are a faithless person, you are also a coward. I imagine you wouldn't dare to lie about your own life."

Gu Dingshan's neck suddenly swelled up.

Veins bulged from his collar, and his old face turned a deep liver color.

"Luo Chen! I've already given you the spirit stones, why do you still dare to humiliate me?"

His voice was trembling.

He had been in Luosha City for decades, when had he ever been insulted like this?

Are they "untrustworthy people" and "cowards"?

But he couldn't refute a single word of it.

If he hadn't been so untrustworthy, none of this would have happened.

If he weren't afraid of death, he would have rushed up and fought Luo Chen to the death long ago.

But he dared not.

The Iron-feathered Vulture crouched beside him, its golden eyes coldly fixed on him.

If he dares to move, that beast could crush him into mincemeat with a single swipe of its paw.

Luo Chen looked at him disdainfully, the smile on his lips growing even colder.

"It is your lack of integrity and incompetence that gave others the opportunity to humiliate you. If you were upright and honest, how could you have ended up in such a state?"

He glanced at the Gu family members, and the Gu family guards all lowered their heads, none of them daring to meet his gaze.

"From now on, don't you dare try anything funny with the Luo family again. Otherwise, no matter who pleads for you, you won't be able to save the Gu family. You'd better remember that."

The members of the Gu family were filled with anger, their fists clenched so tightly they cracked, but none of them dared to utter a word.

They dared to be angry but dared not speak out.

They have spirit beasts and Foundation Establishment stage helpers, what can we use to challenge them?

Gu Dingshan was only spared his life today because Ning Fei pleaded for him. They, these lowly soldiers, didn't even deserve a second glance.

Luo Chen withdrew his gaze, turned around, and walked towards Ning Fei.

His expression softened into a friendly one, and he cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"Miss Ning, my business here is settled. Let us take our leave now, and meet again."

Ning Fei was standing next to Lao Jiu, her face still flushed.

Seeing Luo Chen cup his hands in greeting, he quickly returned the greeting, blushing.

"Okay, until we meet again."

She tried to keep her voice steady, but her heart was still racing.

Looking at Luo Chen's face, the image of her lips touching his ear in the sky flashed involuntarily through her mind again.

Ning Fei quickly looked away, afraid that someone would notice something.

Luo Chen smiled, a smile that held a deeper meaning.

"I'll take you on an eagle ride another time. I'm off."

After saying that, he flipped over and jumped onto the old eagle's back.

Before he could give any instructions, the eagle suddenly spread its wings, creating a gust of wind, and soared into the sky.

The dark shadow drew an arc in the air, shrinking into a tiny dot in the blink of an eye, and then disappearing completely in the next blink.

Ning Fei stood there, gazing in the direction where the old eagle had disappeared, and suddenly felt a void in her heart.

What did he just say? "May I take her on the vulture ride again sometime?"

Next time, she said she would never sit there again.

No, that's not right. Next time, she must master the art of flying before she sits down.

That's not right either, why would she do it again?

Ning Fei's mind was a jumbled mess, and her fingers unconsciously twisted the hem of her clothes.

Hu Fei stared in the direction where the old eagle had disappeared, his facial muscles twitching several times.

He suddenly turned his head and stared at Ning Fei, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

"Senior Sister! Why did you come with that scoundrel Luo Chen? And where did you spend the night last night?"

When he said the last few words, his voice cracked.

Ning Fei's delicate eyebrows furrowed sharply, and the blush on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a cold expression.

"Junior brother, what do you mean by that? Are you perhaps doubting something?"

Hu Fei gritted his teeth, the muscles in his cheeks bulging.

"What could I possibly doubt? I just don't want my senior sister to make a mistake that leads her too far astray."

Gu Yuanjie quickly chimed in to support him, his expression both anxious and sincere.

"Yes, Senior Sister, you've seen who Luo Chen is. He's a shameless scoundrel who's both crazy and arrogant! Senior Sister, please don't let him fool you just because he has a spirit beast."

He paused, then lowered his voice, "Senior sister, think about it. He was in the Great Wilderness City yesterday, publicly saying he would wipe out my entire Gu family. What kind of good person could he be? Senior sister, please don't be fooled by his appearance."

Hu Fei nodded vigorously beside Ning Fei, staring intently at her.

Ning Fei didn't want to explain anything.

She is innocent. She was in seclusion in Luo Chen's cultivation room last night, breaking through her cultivation barrier. Luo Chen stayed by her side in the courtyard all night. Nothing happened between them.

But how do you explain this? The more you explain, the more it seems like you're trying to hide something.

Hearing the two of them taking turns belittling her, her anger flared up instantly.

From yesterday to today, she has been pleading for the Gu family, taking the blame for Hu Fei, and protecting the sect's reputation.

And what happened? These two people turned around and questioned her innocence?

She laughed in anger, staring coldly at Hu Fei and Gu Yuanjie.

"I just love his old eagle, so what? Do you guys have one?"

Hu Fei was stunned.

Gu Yuanjie was also stunned.

The two looked at each other and saw the same question in each other's eyes—how to respond to this?

Before Ning Fei could finish speaking, the fire in her chest burned even brighter, and her tone became even harsher.

"You two probably don't even own a single chick, do you?"

boom!

Hu Fei stared wide-eyed, his jaw nearly dropping to the ground.

He looked down at his underwear, then looked up at Ning Fei.

I rolled my eyes inwardly. Don't we have chicks?

Gu Yuanjie's face turned a deep purplish-red, and the veins on his neck throbbed.

He wanted to refute it, but he really didn't know where to begin.

They are cultivators; raising spirit beasts is not such an easy thing.

Of the nearly ten thousand disciples in the entire Fierce Blade Sect, only a handful possess spirit beasts.

How can you say you have chicks?

When Ning Fei brought up the topic of spirit beasts, they really couldn't respond.

There are no spirit beasts, that's a fact, and there's no denying it.

Hu Fei came to his senses, and the expression on his face changed from shock to frustration, and then from frustration to shame and anger.

He had just been wondering if his senior sister and Luo Chen had some kind of ambiguous relationship.

As a result, his senior sister's words left him speechless.
