Chapter 517: Why Should We Clean Up His Mess For Him!
“Yo ho! Thirteen Points wins! Hurry up and hand over the spirit stones! Pay up, pay up!”

In a casino.

A man in golden Daoist robes was standing excitedly on the gambling table. A golden primordial treasure hung around his neck. He waved his arms and urged everyone to take out their money.

The others threw their spirit stones onto the table with gloomy faces.

“Damn! This brat’s luck is always this good!”

“Yeah, he wins nine out of ten bets. Maybe he steps in dog poop every time before he comes here!”

“I don’t believe his luck can stay this good forever. Come on, hurry, start the next round!”

“…”

The man ignored all the comments around him and just kept stuffing the spirit stones on the table into his sleeve.

He had only stuffed about half when the transmission talisman at his waist suddenly lit up.

He glanced at it casually, then frowned.

He put down the spirit stones and took the transmission talisman from his waist.

“Old Jin, hurry up and start the next round. What are you dawdling for!”

“Right away, right away.”

The man called Old Jin answered vaguely, then opened the transmission talisman.

In the next second, his smile froze on his face. The playful look in his eyes turned into deep gloom.

He jumped down from the gambling table and turned to head straight for the front door.

The other gamblers were all unhappy when they saw this.

“Damn it, he wants to leave after winning? No way!”

“Yeah! This is only the third round. Is he in such a rush to be reborn?”

“Grab him, don’t let him go!”

Before the words even finished, someone who was already impatient rushed forward, trying to grab Old Jin.

Old Jin gave a cold snort. A terrifying wave of power swept out in all directions.

The people nearby were all shaken back several zhang in an instant.

The whole casino let out creaking sounds, like it could collapse at any moment.

“I have serious business. Don’t bother me!”

As his voice fell, big handfuls of spirit stones also fell.

Everyone in the casino stared at the spirit stones scattered across the floor, too shocked to move for a long time.

…

Bei Ming Clan.

Before Dong Fang Yue even spoke, Bei Ming Yan said bluntly: “You came because of that Senior from Godsfall Land, right?”

Dong Fang Yue nodded.

“And what did Dongfang Yu say?”

“He told me to pretend I did not know anything. But I do not think that is right. That Senior saved me twice. My life was saved by him. That kindness is as heavy as a mountain.”

Bei Ming Yan curled her lips in a mocking smile.

“That day, Dongfang Yu was the one who represented the Dongfang clan and sent out their token. Now that it is time for him to step up, he pretends to be dead. He sure knows how to count.”

Dong Fang Yue pressed her lips together, not sure how to answer Bei Ming Yan.

Bei Ming Yan looked at her helplessly and said: “Since you came to find me, you must have already made up your mind. I will go with you.”

Dong Fang Yue’s face lit up with joy right away. She walked up and held Bei Ming Yan’s arm warmly. “Elder Sister Yan, I knew you would go too.”

“We can go, but we need to talk about this first. We act according to the situation and cannot rush out blindly.”

Dong Fang Yue nodded again and again. “I will listen to Elder Sister Yan in everything. I will do whatever Elder Sister Yan says.”

Bei Ming Yan smiled. “I also want to know what kind of people that Senior offended, to make him come to us for help.”

She seemed to be asking Dong Fang Yue, but also talking to herself.

Dong Fang Yue did not think that far ahead. “Since Senior is in trouble, we cannot just stand by and watch. We will know the details when we get there.”

Bei Ming Yan relaxed and smiled. “You are right. Before we go, let us make a trip to the Nan Gong Clan and ask Nan Gong Jie if he wants to come with us.”

“Alright.”

Dong Fang Yue agreed happily, and the two of them went together to the Nan Gong Clan.

Nan Gong Jie had just gotten a firm answer from his father yesterday that he could take part in the upcoming Daqian Alliance selection. He was full of energy.

After hearing why Bei Ming Yan and Dong Fang Yue had come, he agreed without a second thought.

“Senior showed us great kindness. Of course we should do everything we can to repay it.”

“Then get ready. We will leave right away.”

“Wait, I have a friend I want to introduce to you.”

The friend he mentioned was, of course, Fang Cheng Lang.

Nan Gong Jie was not someone who burned bridges after crossing them.

The words he had said to Fang Cheng Lang that day were not all flattery. Many of them came from his heart.

The fact that Fang Cheng Lang had caught the eye of Nan Gong Yu from the Nan Gong Clan already proved he was far from ordinary.

Also, Nan Gong Jie still dreamed of passing the selection and entering the Great World. He wanted to get closer to Fang Cheng Lang.

So he specially sent someone to invite Fang Cheng Lang. While they waited, he also told Bei Ming Yan and Dong Fang Yue in detail about Fang Cheng Lang’s background.

Because of this, the two women were very friendly when they met Fang Cheng Lang.

“Brother Fang, I asked you here not only to introduce you to these two friends, but also for another reason. A Sovereign Senior who once saved us is in trouble. The three of us plan to go take a look and see if we can settle this matter. Do you want to come with us?”

“This…”

Fang Cheng Lang was a bit moved. He thought for a moment, then still politely refused.

After all, he was someone Nan Gong Yu had brought here. He had to be ready to follow Nan Gong Yu’s orders at any time. Leaving at will would be very disrespectful to that Senior.

After asking, Nan Gong Jie also felt he had been a bit rash.

When he got Fang Cheng Lang’s refusal, he actually let out a secret sigh of relief.

“It is fine if you do not go. When I come back, we can talk the whole night.”

“Sounds good.”

Fang Cheng Lang watched Nan Gong Jie and the two women leave. His heart suddenly felt empty, and he felt a strange sadness.

He kept feeling like he had just made a wrong decision.

He pressed his fingers hard against his brow and forced down the anxiety in his heart.

He could always wait for a better time to ask about the other Seniors’ whereabouts.

There was no need to rush.

…

Qi Lan Realm, Four Seas City.

The city was tense and on edge.

On streets that used to be lively and bustling, there were now only a few people hurrying along. The wind blew fallen leaves across the ground, making everything look bleak and lonely.

A huge spirit power barrier hung over the largest manor in the center of Four Seas City like a sky curtain.

More than thirty cultivators were gathered in the wide back courtyard, and every face was full of worry.

“Still no news of Yan Yi and the others?”

An old man with white hair and a childlike face spoke up.

A big, strong man spat on the ground and said: “What news could there be? They were caught long ago. At this point we do not even know if they are alive!”

“Tie Gu! It was not Huang Zhong who took them. Why are you taking it out on him!”

A pretty young woman glared at him.

Tie Gu did not calm down. Instead he got even angrier. “He might not have taken them, but this is related to him!”

He stared at Huang Zhong, his eyes almost spitting fire. “This mess was stirred up by Sui Bian. Why did you tell him to hide instead of making him come back? He should come back and fix it himself! Why should we be the ones to clean up his mess!”

The others looked at each other and stayed silent.

The young woman raised her voice and said: “They came here to cause trouble for Sui Bian in the first place. If you make him come back, wouldn’t that be sending him straight into their trap!”

Tie Gu roared: “So other people should die for him instead? Qian Si, Chi Lian is your junior. Do you want to see her die without even knowing why?”

Qian Si’s face turned pale in an instant.
