Chapter 748: Chapter 464: Not Entering Nirvana Until Hell Is Empty!_2

“What?”

The little Taoist boy was completely bewildered.

“Nothing. I take my leave, may we meet again if fate allows.”

Chen Yuan patted the little Taoist boy on the head and turned to leave.

Indeed, about a quarter of an hour after Chen Yuan left, the old temple master dressed in a Qing-colored Daoist robe leisurely returned from outside. Upon seeing him,

the little Taoist boy hurriedly approached:

“Master, master.”

“What is it?”

The old temple master knowingly asked with kindness.

“Guess who was here just now?”

“Who, to make you so happy?”

“It was Chen Qingyun, no, Lord Chen who had defeated the Japan Martial Artist.”

“Ah, it was him. Then it really wasn’t meant to be. Didn’t we just miss him last time?” The old temple master patted the little Taoist boy on the head.

“It’s just that the words of Mr. Chen left me somewhat puzzled.”

“What did he say?”

“He said that as long as he didn’t leave, you would never return, but the moment he left, you immediately came back. Now that I see for myself, it really is so. Mr. Chen calculated quite accurately.”

The little Taoist boy restated Chen Yuan’s words.

The old temple master’s hands stiffened for a moment in surprise:

“Did he really say that?”

“That’s pretty much it.”

The old temple master narrowed his gaze slightly, a frown creasing his brow as he looked in the direction Chen Yuan had gone, murmuring:

“This young man…”

He was truly surprised, incredibly so.

Given Chen Yuan’s cultivation level, it should have been almost impossible for him to detect his presence, yet he had, and even made a special trip here today—

Could it be that he wanted to see him?

To see him?

The old temple master’s expression was one of solemn gravity.

…..

…..

Having left Qingyun Temple, Chen Yuan had no intention of further delay and went straight back to Earl’s Mansion, calming his mind to process the information he had obtained that day.

There was no need to say more about Gu Tianqiong’s side; the promises offered to him weren’t immediately accessible.

The only thing that caught his attention was that Monk Pu Xian made a special trip to the Harem and the matter of Qingyun Temple.

The latter wasn’t too important either. Since they didn’t wish involvement, it was best that way.

What made Chen Yuan feel solemn was that Jingtai might also have turned his attention to the previous commotion in the Harem, though there had been no choice at the time.

It was uncontrollable.

If Jingtai were to specifically scrutinize the people who entered and exited the Harem that day, he could easily discover his presence, and by continuing to probe the Concubines,

the scope of investigation would become much narrower.

After all, only the Empress and a few Noble Consorts held the decree permitting free entry to the Harem.

If Noble Consort Yang could not withstand pressure and exposed him, and then Jingtai realized he had left the ancestral worship hall without reason on that day, it’s feared that he would deduce something odd about him.

Having paced in the back courtyard for a long time, Chen Yuan finally could not sit still any longer.

He had originally intended to wait until his injuries were fully healed before leaving the Capital, but given the current situation, that was no longer an option. Even if there was a slim chance that Jingtai could trace it back to him, it was unacceptable.

He would not gamble with his life.

Especially not with a gamble that could bring substantial benefits.

And relying on such foolish hope in others was something absolutely to be avoided!

Moluo, gravely injured, was nearly powerless to fight again.

And now, with his injuries still unhealed, if Jingtai were to come with a siege, the senior Moluo would certainly not be able to withstand it.

He must leave!!!

No sooner had he thought it than he acted.

Chen Yuan immediately ordered his servants to deliver some gifts to Zhang Yantong, indicating his intention to visit him.

Leaving required Zhang Yantong’s help.

Since Jingtai probably hadn’t thought of this yet, this was all the more reason not to disrupt his own plans.

Before long, the servant sent out came back with a message: the chief steward of Zhang Mansion was informed and asked Chen Yuan to visit in the evening…..

After waiting alone in the back courtyard for a while, as the sky grew darker, he left Earl’s Mansion by himself, and when he reappeared, he was already at the entrance of Zhang Mansion.

After being announced, Chen Yuan was led by a servant of Zhang Mansion straight to see Zhang Yantong.

Waiting for Chen Yuan in the study, Zhang Yantong put down what he was holding as Chen Yuan came in and smiled,

“You’ve arrived?”

“I pay my respects to Uncle.”

Chen Yuan said with a bow.

“Sit.”

Zhang Yantong gestured with a wave of his hand, and a cup of Spiritual Tea landed in front of him.

“What did the Great Governor tell you exactly?”

He asked with a good deal of curiosity.

Chen Yuan pondered for a moment and then narrated the events almost exactly as they had happened.

“It seems the Great Governor thinks highly of you. As soon as there’s a vacancy among the Golden Envoys of various states, you’ll probably take over. You should take this time to further enhance your strength.

That way, you’ll be better prepared to deal with the complex situation.”

He advised.

“Is that also the reason I’ve come to visit Uncle?”

Chen Yuan gladly took the cue,

“Hmm? Go on….”

Zhang Yantong raised his eyebrows and spoke softly.

“Recently, I have felt restless, unable to meditate during my cultivation. I have thought it over and it might be because I’ve encountered a bottleneck. I’m thinking of traveling to gain experience for some days.

Perhaps I will find an opportunity to further advance my cultivation.”

Chen Yuan spoke softly.

Hearing these words, Zhang Yantong smiled faintly:

“Do you really need to use these excuses with your uncle?”

A bottleneck might be possible.

But if anyone were to claim that Chen Yuan could just break through by a simple outing, that was nearly impossible. If it were that easy, there wouldn’t be so many Martial Artists stuck at the True Core Realm.

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Thus, he only thought Chen Yuan had his unspeakable reasons for not disclosing.

“Uncle, I….”

As Chen Yuan was about to offer another reason, Zhang Yantong raised his hand to stop him without waiting for him to finish, smiling as he said:
