598: Chapter 598 After the Eastern Region War

"Boss, listening to what you said, isn't the Southern Desert very troublesome? Aren't you going to go hold down the fort in the Southern Desert?"

Yuan Chenling walked with Zhou Yan on the repaired streets of Dream City.

"Hold down the fort for what? It's not my turn to hold down the fort there. Having Xuanyuan Qingyao and the experts from Liyan Holy Land who rushed over later is enough."

"As for those three… sigh."

"I arranged for Fan Wujiu to watch those three. He will show them the fragments of the river of time that I intercepted, and they will know what happened."

"Those three are not easy to deal with, just like you. I can't be bothered to manage them; it's better to leave it to Liyan Holy Land and Qingxu Grotto-Heaven to handle."

The broken sword had been snatched away by some guy he hadn't even heard of, which put Zhou Yan in a very bad mood right now.

He felt he had done quite well in the Southern Desert. Even without his presence, he had helped solve an Apocalypse Knight and helped them deal with that major enemy, Schrödinger.

He had almost fought every notable enemy of the opponent, yet the broken sword, which should have been in his hands, was gone.

How was this any different from coming back after completing a side quest to save a kingdom, only to find that the seedlings in the field for the main quest were all dead?

When Yuan Chenling heard "just like you," he roughly guessed the details Zhou Yan hadn't mentioned.

To prevent Zhou Yan from continuing to be enraged, Yuan Chenling changed the subject.

"Boss, Dream City is being rebuilt very quickly. Now, except for there being fewer people and no shops open, you can barely tell that such a thing happened."

Zhou Yan also looked up at this bustling cyberpunk city.

"Yeah, it's like nothing ever happened. Lianxing Pavilion's movements are still so fast; it really is true that money can do anything."

"That's right, there's also Lianxing Pavilion!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Yan suddenly remembered the existence of Lianxing Pavilion. Not to mention that Qian Santong had connections within Lianxing Pavilion, just the fact that he had so much money, how could he not find a Xuan Tianzun?

Even if he couldn't find Xuan Tianzun, finding Hun Wushang shouldn't be a problem, right? Maybe he could even directly offer a bounty to buy the broken sword back.

Plus, he was still the Saint of Qingxu Grotto-Heaven. With bounties on both the black and white markets, he didn't believe he wouldn't get any information!

"I almost forgot my own identity and assets again. Xiao Yuan, thank you for your reminder this time. I'll credit you for this."

Zhou Yan fiercely rubbed the Lion's head, leaving Yuan Chenling stunned.

What was going on? How did changing the subject earn him credit? Did he have a talent for diplomatic negotiations?

Yuan Chenling didn't really understand, but as long as the boss was happy, it was fine.

"Beep, beep."

Zhou Yan took out his phone and looked at the message displayed on the screen: "It's Zhou Su. Isn't she busy?"

Hearing the name Zhou Su, Yuan Chenling immediately pricked up his ears, recalling what happened at the hospital.

Shi Suiyan had also gone to the hospital because her mana was exhausted. To avoid disturbing her rest, Zhou Yan had simply come down for a walk.

However, before leaving, Shi Suiyan had specifically told Yuan Chenling to be vigilant against Zhou Su and not to let her be alone with Zhou Yan.

Although Shi Suiyan had looked very weak at the time, her Aura was even more terrifying. For the sake of his own life, Yuan Chenling still timidly pricked up his ears to eavesdrop.

"Hello, is something the matter?" Zhou Yan answered the phone and asked.

"Zhou Yan, things have basically stabilized here, so I have some free time."

"Didn't we need to help Xie Bian redeem himself earlier? Why don't we talk about it now?"

Zhou Yan slapped his forehead; he had only just remembered.

"I was just wondering what was missing. I almost forgot Senior Brother Xie."

"Where are you? I'll come find you now."

Looking at the location sent to his phone, Zhou Yan turned and walked in another direction.

"Wait for me, Boss, I want to go too."

Yuan Chenling hurriedly followed and grabbed Zhou Yan.

"I'm going to talk business, what are you going for?"

Looking at Zhou Yan, Yuan Chenling's brain spun rapidly.

"Boss, that's not right."

"I'm your mount, after all. I'm right here beside you, how can you fly yourself when you appear?"

"Secondly, I also have some questions about the White Tiger Tribe that I want to ask for your opinion on. But this matter can be put aside for now; I'll say it after you're done with your business."

Looking at Yuan Chenling's strange behavior, Zhou Yan felt something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"The destination isn't far, why would I need to ride a mount? Besides, you can just say whatever you have to say directly; I'm not in a rush."

Yuan Chenling couldn't care about that; he nudged Zhou Yan up onto his back in one go.

"Alright, Boss, you're a great Cultivator now; you must have some presence when you go out. As for my business, I said it's not urgent; you just go handle yours first."

Yuan Chenling flew off with Zhou Yan on his back, not giving him a chance to refuse.

"You stupid cat, you're flying in the wrong direction!"

Dream City Joyous Union Sect office.

"Sorry, the office is temporarily closed. If you have any questions, please wait until next week."

Yuan Chenling was secretly happy when he saw them being blocked.

"Boss, since they're busy, let's go."

Saying this, Yuan Chenling prepared to take Zhou Yan back.

"Ouch."

Zhou Yan punched Yuan Chenling on the head, then walked up to the front desk attendant.

"Hello, I have an appointment."

The front desk attendant looked at the stunning beauty in the appointment, then looked at the square-faced man in front of her, and became suspicious.

"Sorry, sir, you look..."

Zhou Yan only then remembered that he was still using a disguise. After all, his reputation in the Eastern Region wasn't great, and he had changed his appearance after the war ended.

Looking at the front desk like this, presumably the appearance Zhou Su had given was his original one.

Just as he was about to remove the disguise, a female voice suddenly sounded.

"No need, just let him come with me. The Young Sect Master wants to see him."

A heroic-looking youth was walking towards them, except there was only helplessness and despair on his face.

"Okay, Mu..."

"Alright, you don't need to say anything more. You two, follow me."

The front desk attendant was interrupted just as she was about to salute.

The youth's pretty face flushed slightly, looking very uncomfortable.

Yuan Chenling and Zhou Yan looked at each other and quickly followed Mu Qianqiu's footsteps.

After stepping into the elevator, it was like a mute button had been pressed. The youth stood in front, fidgeting and not speaking, and Zhou Yan also kept his mouth shut.

Instead, Yuan Chenling couldn't understand.

He could feel that Zhou Yan seemed to know this person, but they hadn't said anything.

Shi Suiyan only said to be careful of Zhou Su, so what about this one?

The elevator rose quickly, and in a short while, it reached the top floor.

"Go straight ahead and turn left. That door is the Young Sect Master's office. Remember to knock before entering."

After speaking, the youth walked to the right as if fleeing.

"Mu Qianqiu."

"Ah?"

"Click."

The scene froze.

Mu Qianqiu turned around subconsciously, and his dazed and panicked expression was captured by Zhou Yan.

Before Mu Qianqiu could react, Zhou Yan hoisted Yuan Chenling up and ran, disappearing in a flash.

"Zhou Yan!"

Listening to that roar, Zhou Yan couldn't stop grinning.

"Mu Qianqiu, I really didn't expect you to have today, letting you look at me like that before."

Back when Mu Qianqiu came downstairs, Zhou Yan had already seen his panel. He was a bit surprised at the time, and later, after seeing Zhou Su's magic power on him, he roughly understood the situation.

So he had waited until now specifically for this moment. Looking at the harvest in his hand, Zhou Yan was in an even better mood.

It was just that Zhou Yan didn't know that this was also part of Zhou Su's plan.

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Please come in."

Pushing open the heavy door, the first thing he saw was the floor-to-ceiling window that could overlook the entire city.

Although it was unclear what the point of this floor-to-ceiling window was when Cultivators had Divine Sense.

"Wow, such a big kitty."

A small figure pounced over and wrapped her arms around Yuan Chenling's neck.

"Alright, Little Yueer, we have business to discuss. You take this furry big friend outside and wait for a while."

Zhou Su got up and walked towards Zhou Yan with a smile.
