Chapter 103: Chapter 101 Taoist Divine Palace (Seeking First Subscription)

Therefore, Chen Yuan was somewhat puzzled. Could it be that Su Ziyue also had a Pupil Skill similar to “Heavenly Eye”?

One capable of observing that he was imbued with Qi Fortune?

Moreover, Chen Yuan also didn’t know whether what he had observed was the Qi Fortune he inherently carried or the Qi Fortune offered up on the Qi Fortune Altar.

Su Ziyue:

“You will know in the future.”

“In the future….”

...

Chen Yuan was speechless in his heart. It was as if he had asked in loneliness, as Su Ziyue had not given direct answers to several of his questions.

“Also… when do you plan to leave Ping’an County?”

As Su Ziyue’s voice turned, she suddenly asked.

“Leave Ping’an County?”

Chen Yuan’s gaze flickered. This was the second time he had heard such words today.

“Do you plan to stay in Ping’an County for the rest of your life?” Su Ziyue asked in surprise.

“Ping’an County is just a remote place. Even though you are endowed with not weak Qi Fortune, achieving success will still be extremely difficult. The cultivation of martial arts relies on tempering.”

“Staying here will only waste your time.”

Su Ziyue said so, as if she felt that staying in Ping’an County would only waste time, and Chen Yuan didn’t seem to have much time to spare.

“This… Miss Su, actually, today Zhang Xuan of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau had invited me to join, but I feel that it’s not too late to leave after breaking through to the Gang Condensation Realm.”

Chen Yuan said in a low voice.

“Zhang Xuan…” Su Ziyue murmured to herself.

“Does Miss Su also know Lord Zhang?” Chen Yuan asked.

“This Zhang Xuan has an extraordinary background. Being taken under his wing would be a good choice for you now. It would also save me the trouble of having to use methods to transfer you.”

After a long silence, Su Ziyue suddenly said.

“Extraordinary background…”

Chen Yuan couldn’t help but think to himself, so it turned out that Zhang Xuan was a second-generation official.

If Su Ziyue mentions an extraordinary background, then it certainly is out of the ordinary.

Furthermore, Chen Yuan subtly caught on that the influence of the Taoist Divine Palace seemed quite powerful within the court as well, being able to manipulate affairs to transfer him out. Now, Chen Yuan suddenly became somewhat interested in this Taoist Divine Palace.

“His father holds a high position within the Heavenly Patrol Bureau and also possesses extraordinary strength, even I am not his match…” Su Ziyue said in a low voice, shaking her head.

“Should I agree to Zhang Xuan now?”

“Go ahead and agree. Although the Emperor is currently trying to curtail the Heavenly Patrol Bureau’s power, when you look at the court, the Heavenly Patrol Bureau is still the quickest shortcut to climb to high positions.”

“And they wield great power, so much so that even the Taoist Divine Palace does not wish to provoke them lightly.”

Su Ziyue said in a serious tone.

Chen Yuan: “Miss Su mentioned earlier that you could use methods to transfer me; would that also be to the Heavenly Patrol Bureau?”

“Yes, the Heavenly Patrol Bureau is the most suitable for you. Of course, there’s another option, but I’m afraid you wouldn’t be willing,” Su Ziyue nodded.

“What option?”

“The Emperor has recently created a new government office to counterbalance the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, led by eunuchs.”

Chen Yuan was stunned: “It couldn’t be the Eastern Depot, could it?”

Subconsciously, that was the idea that sprang to Chen Yuan’s mind.

Su Ziyue frowned:

“What Eastern Depot?”

“Oh… it’s nothing.”

Chen Yuan shook his head, it seemed it was not what he was familiar with.

“I will join the Heavenly Patrol Bureau then,” Chen Yuan said with a smile.

Su Ziyue nodded.

“Is there any sign that one is a member of the Taoist Divine Palace? And, if I need to contact Miss Su in the future, how should I do so?” After a moment of thought, Chen Yuan still expressed his concerns.

“There are no signs and no restrictions, but if you betray us, you will be hunted down by all members of the Taoist Divine Palace. As for contacting me, if there’s an issue, I will take the initiative to contact you.”

“If there’s nothing, just pretend you never joined the Taoist Divine Palace.”

Chen Yuan understood, he was overthinking. With his current status and strength, he was not yet valued. Only when he showed his worth would he be able to learn more.

He wondered how many others in the world were like him.

“I will leave Ping’an County tomorrow. Keep things stable for a while. That person probably hasn’t reported your matter to the upper echelons of the No-Life Sect. Take good care of the Blood Evil Saber, an Evil Artifact, and do not reveal it lightly. This object is a weapon that may have other uses, and many covet it…” Su Ziyue instructed softly.

“I understand,” Chen Yuan replied.

Being recognized by Su Ziyue at a glance proved that this object was not unknown, and even quite notorious. Chen Yuan understood the adage: an innocent man incurs blame by possessing a gem. The object itself was a double-edged sword; after use, if it didn’t absorb blood, it would start to draw from him. Although the Qi Fortune Altar suppressed it, the blood in his left arm would also be consumed.

Now, he could feel that his left arm was somewhat weak and powerless.

After their conversation, the room fell silent. After a long pause, Su Ziyue was the first to break the silence:

“Are you planning to rest here, Lord Chen?”

Noticing the hint to leave, Chen Yuan quickly said:

“Then I shall take my leave first.”

Mainly because Su Ziyue had been silent before, Chen Yuan did not dare to assume anything.

Although Chen Yuan was now aligned with her, their contact had still been too limited, and he remained wary of her formidable strength.

“It’s okay if you don’t leave; I also have a place to sleep here…”

Su Ziyue’s eyes were seductively enchanting.

“I take my leave…”

Chen Yuan bowed slightly and turned to walk away.

If he really stayed here, it might not just be about sleeping through the night. The more beautiful the woman, the more dangerous she could be. Perhaps she was ready to open her gaping maw and swallow him whole.
