Xiao Ruoyin knew that almost all the forces and sects in the Upper Realm would partic.i.p.ate in this Divine Stone Conference, which was of great significance. Even the n.o.ble and important status of the Divine Origin Masters was revealed, and every faction was trying to recruit those Divine Origin Masters with extraordinary means.
This time, in the Gambling Stone Workshop of the Wan Dao Business Alliance, the mysterious man displayed his skills and shocked Kunwu City. Many people thought that he was a Divine Origin Master with a mysterious origin or his successor.
So they were trying to find a way to get it. However, his personality was quite eccentric, and almost all the forces and sects who went to extend an olive branch were turned away, and no one was even seen.
Yet at this critical moment, many forces and sects dare not use tough measures and act according to their faces. But Xiao Ruoyin remembered that when she was in Gambling Stone Workshop, the young man planned to give her the Blood King Ginseng.
If she took the initiative to visit, the mysterious man might meet her. At that time, she would bring up the matter that Gu Changge intended to solicit.
In the current huge Upper Realm, who would turn a blind eye to Gu Changge’s solicitation?
“Are you sure you can help me?” Gu Changge looked interested as if he was a little surprised.
In fact, he came to Xiao Ruoyin with this intention from the beginning. Though it still depended on the current Jiang Chen’s att.i.tude toward Xiao Ruoyin.
“I can help Mr. Gu.” Xiao Ruoyin nodded and a.s.sured him, “But I still have to try.”
Before she had contact with the mysterious man, she was not sure about his att.i.tude.
“Then I’ll wait for your good news.” Gu Changge smiled lightly, then said something to Xiao Ruoyin, and left the place.
He really wanted to witness the beginning of the breakup between Xiao Ruoyin and Jiang Chen, but he still had other things to do, so he gave up.
After seeing Gu Changge leave, Xiao Ruoyin did not delay for long. She understood that this kind of thing had to be done first, otherwise, the mysterious man might be recruited by the others first.
So although she felt a little unwell, she quickly cleaned up and took a few of her former colleagues to look for the mysterious man from yesterday.
“Jiang Chen, you are so blatantly revealing your ident.i.ty, aren’t you afraid of being exposed?”
At this moment, within a courtyard to the east of Kunwu City. A person in a light yellow long dress folded his arms and said with a bit of puzzlement on his beautiful face.
The courtyard was not that big. In the current Kunwu City, it could be regarded as a remote corner at best. But here lived the mysterious origin master who had alarmed the entire Kunwu City during these days.
Jiang Chen looked at the piece of purple spirit gold that was on his hand, and replied to Ji Chuyue’s words in a neutral manner, “What are you afraid of, who knows who I am except for you?”
Now besides Ji Chuyue, only the old acquaintance Monk Pudu knew his true ident.i.ty. Jiang Chen was still very at ease with Ji Chuyue. Although she and her elder brother Ji Yaoxing tricked him in the Purple Mountain at the beginning, Jiang Chen chose to forgive Ji Chuyue in the end, knowing that she had no choice but to throw him out as an abandoned child because of Gu Changge’s persecution.
Later, at an auction house, he ran into Ji Chuyue by chance, and Ji Chuyue had a certain special talent, so he recognized her immediately. There, Jiang Chen auctioned off a good item, but it was a pity that he was targeted and his life was almost in danger.
Fortunately, in the end, Ji Chuyue made a move and saved him.
The two came and went, and gradually became familiar with each other. This time Ji Chuyue was able to hear the message from the Ancestor Ji Sheng Chu near Mount Kun, it was also thanks to Jiang Chen.
“I came to you to tell you that I probably won’t a.s.sociate with you in the future. My brother has already noticed you.” Ji Chuyue said kindly.
Jiang Chen was taken aback, seeing that Ji Chuyue didn’t seem to be joking, he couldn’t help but ask solemnly, “When did it happen?”
He didn’t doubt Ji Chuyue’s kindness, but how did Ji Yaoxing notice him?
“I don’t know either. When Gu Changge came to my Ji family this time, my brother warned me.” Ji Chuyue shook her head and added.
She and Jiang Chen had quite a good friendship. and she didn’t want to see Jiang Chen lose his life because of this kind of thing.
“I understand, I will be careful in the future.” Jiang Chen nodded, feeling very cautious in his heart.
He felt that Ji Yaoxing was not as upright as he appeared on the surface. This time Gu Changge wanted to help the Ji family rescue their Ancestor, he also heard about it. So once Gu Changge wanted to track down his tracks, Ji Yaoxing would probably inform him.
“I was indeed careless, and it was a bit dangerous.” Jiang Chen frowned, originally he thought that his face-changing technique was flawless. But he didn’t expect Ji Yaoxing to know his whereabouts long ago.
After informing Jiang Chen of this matter, Ji Chuyue quietly left the place and did not stay long.
“The little princess of the Ji family is very kind to benefactor Jiang, and she even came to inform benefactor Jiang of such things.”
After Ji Chuyue left, Monk Pudu came out from the other side and couldn’t help laughing. Jiang Chen glanced at him unhappily and said, “It’s not a good thing for you to know that my ident.i.ty has been exposed. What should we do now, leave Kunwu City?”
Monk Pudu shook his head, clasped his hands together, and said, “Just as Ji’s family is planning to invade Mount Kun this time, the Divine Stone Conference is so grand that it happens only once in a million years. How can Master Jiang leave just like that?”
Jiang Chen smiled wryly, “Of course, I’m not reconciled.”
He also hadn’t reminded Xiao Ruoyin to be careful about Gu Changge, so how could he feel relieved if he just left like this?
Even if he wanted to leave, he had to find a way to take Xiao Ruoyin away with him. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door from outside the courtyard.
“Who will come to visit me at this time?”
Monk Pudu stared out of the courtyard with great interest, where he had set up a formation to prevent other experts from prying.
“These forces have always been like this, endlessly… I said I’m not interested in their solicitation.”
Jiang Chen frowned, very dissatisfied, he subconsciously thought that it was those forces trying to recruit him.
“Is the young master from Gambling Stone Workshop here?”
Just when Jiang Chen was going to ignore those people outside and hang them outside, a familiar voice sounded. He was shocked, and stood up directly from the stone bench, with a look of surprise on his face.
“Ruoyin… this is her voice. Is she the person outside the courtyard?”
Jiang Chen walked toward the courtyard without hesitation, intending to open the door.
Seeing this scene, Monk Pudu also left wisely, without any intention of disturbing him. He could tell that the relationship between Jiang Chen and Xiao Ruoyin should be old. Since Xiao Ruoyin took the initiative to come to the door, the next thing should be their reunion, and he would not partic.i.p.ate as an outsider.
Outside the courtyard, Xiao Ruoyin was dressed in white with blue hair like a waterfall, as light could be seen emitting from others. Standing behind her were several fellow disciples that Jiang Chen had met in the Gambling Stone Workshop before.
“This girl… is there something wrong?”
Jiang Chen suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked with a just right smile on his face.
There were still outsiders here, and he didn’t intend to directly reveal his original appearance and everything to Xiao Ruoyin. But since Xiao Ruoyin took the initiative to come to him today, this was his chance.
“I came here to look for this young master this time, and I actually want to tell you something.”
Xiao Ruoyin did not expect that this mysterious man with a weird temper would actually meet her. She couldn’t help displaying a polite smile on her face, planning to tell her story.
“Oh, so something happened. If this girl doesn’t dislike it, then she might as well come in and talk about it.” Jiang Chen smiled slightly, stretching out his hand as a gesture of invitation.
Xiao Ruoyin wasn’t worried about Jiang Chen’s plans. In this huge Kunwu city, there were now powerhouses everywhere, but if there was a little more movement here, it would soon attract many people to come here.
Soon, Xiao Ruoyin and others followed Jiang Chen and entered the courtyard. There was still warm tea on the stone table in the middle, obviously a sign of someone having been here.
Xiao Ruoyin took a look and didn’t ask any further questions.
“People from other sects came here just now and they said something to me.” Jiang Chen noticed this scene and explained with a smile.
Since the last time he parted with Xiao Ruoyin in the ancient warships of various tribes in the Ancient Immortal Continent, this was the first time he was so close to her. However, Jiang Chen quickly frowned, and carefully noticed that Xiao Ruoyin seemed to be walking with the wrong posture, which seemed a little strange.
“Girl, are you a little unwell?” He asked with concern.
“I accidentally twisted my foot while cultivating last night.” Xiao Ruoyin looked a little unnatural, but she explained casually.
“Twisted foot? Is it serious?” Jiang Chen didn’t think much about it but felt that Xiao Ruoyin was a little too careless. As a cultivator, she even twisted her foot?
Although it sounded a bit outrageous, different cultivation methods would indeed lead to this situation. After sitting cross-legged for a long time, the aura in the ankles would be blocked and become stagnant. If one stood up accidentally at this time, they might indeed sprain their foot.
“It’s not serious, it won’t be long before it gets better.” Xiao Ruoyin waved her hands, feeling that the mysterious origin master in front of her seemed a little too concerned about herself.
“It’s fine if it’s not serious.” Jiang Chen nodded, then let Xiao Ruoyin and the others sit down, and then asked her why she came.
Xiao Ruoyin didn’t talk nonsense and told Jiang Chen her intention of coming, including the current situation in Kunwu City, and the Divine Stone Conference in the upcoming next few days.
Hearing these words, the expression on Jiang Chen’s face also changed from smiling at the beginning, to gradually freezing until it became somewhat gloomy and ugly.
“You came looking for me because you wanted me to follow Gu Changge and do things for him?” Jiang Chen suppressed his anger as he said. His fists were creaking and his eyes fixed on Xiao Ruoyin.
He never expected Xiao Ruoyin to come to him for this reason. It almost made his lungs explode.
“You have to know that Mr. Gu‘s power is unmatched in the Upper Realm today, and his hands and eyes are even more powerful. Even Enlightened beings are in awe of him. I know that you carry the inheritance of the Divine Origin Master, and you are arrogant, but It is indeed an honor for you to work for Mr. Gu.”
Xiao Ruoyin frowned slightly, she didn’t know why Jiang Chen had such a big resentment toward Gu Changge. But she felt that it was because of his arrogance, so she couldn’t help persuading him with good intentions.
