Chapter 579: Another Breakthrough, Slaughtering Sheep, Young Master Yi, How Able, An Unexpected Visitor a Day Later, Evil Suppression Envoy
Through these two days of Financial Alchemy Technique and the contributions of the four old irons from the Ghost Worship Sect, Yi Chen's True Technique actually made continuous breakthroughs, rising two levels in a row.
Keep in mind, it's been less than seven days since he first arrived in this world.
With Yi Chen's current Martial Arts Realm, leveraging the fifteenth level of True Technique, even if he encountered a master who had just entered the Jie Dao Realm, he would still be able to exchange a couple of moves.
And all of this, he achieved through his own hard work!
"I'm tired, so tired. Let Li Shiran and the Guo Family handle the aftermath of cleaning up the battlefield. Anyways, after this battle, Li Shiran has publicly revealed her true identity and officially taken over the Guo Family, so now even if the three major families of Yang City realize they've been played, they can only grit their teeth and accept it."
After Yi Chen's mind raced through these thoughts and sensed no omissions, he then headed for the Flower Pavilion.
In order to appease the Three Corpse Primordial Spirits inside him, Yi Chengzi could only make some sacrifices.
"Bring in a new batch!"
Inside the private room of the Flower Pavilion, while the citizens of Yang City were panicked and restless, Yi Chen was shooting the breeze with Young Master Guo.
A life can be without meat, yet one must not skip washing one's feet.
Yi Chen leaned back on the soft and luxurious seat, opened his big mouth with a grin, and swallowed the fruit that an Oiran brought to his lips,
"Brother Yi, what do you think a guy like me should do if I meet a nice girl?" Young Master Guo furrowed his brow, as if troubled by some issue, and suddenly turned to ask Yi Chen.
"Then don't let her slip by."
"And if she's a bad girl, what should I do then?"
"Then don't waste the chance!"
"Huh? W...waste?"
"What 'huh'? Stop dithering, speak up if you have something to say, let it out if you have something to fart!"
"Eh, thanks to you, Brother Yi, today someone from the Liu family came, sent by my former fiancée whose engagement I broke off. She sent me a letter, asking me to go on a spring outing alone with her today."
"But after all these changes, I feel that little Tian is no longer the simple and kind girl I once thought she was."
"However, Brother Yi, what you said today truly woke me up from my dream, and now I, Guo, know what to do."
After mulling it over for quite a while, as if he had let go of some mental burden, Young Master Guo exhaled a deep breath of turbid air and finally lay down relaxed, starting to enjoy himself.
"Hey, you've come to your senses, huh? Speaking of which, is that fiancée of yours, called little Tian, really that pretty?"
Right then, Yi Chen finally opened his eyes and teased the chubby little black guy beside him.
"Eh, you know me, Brother Yi. I'm face-blind and honestly can't tell if little Tian is pretty or not."
"But little Tian is well-read in poetry and books, she really looks nice when dressed as a Scholar."
At this moment, the chubby little black guy wiped his sleeve and immediately transformed into a look of a complete buffoon.
Yi Chen: "...."
"So, what do you plan to do now?"
"I'll listen to Brother Yi; never waste. You might not believe it, but even though my family, the Guo Family, is quite wealthy, I, Guo Yuwen, have always loathed wasting food, down to every grain of rice on the edge of the bowl!"
"Ah?"
Suddenly, Yi Chen felt that there was something eerily familiar about these words he just heard, and he began to scrutinize the chubby little black guy beside him.
"Brother Guo, why don't you join the military? I think you could be a General!"
"Brother Yi, stop joking. Me, Guo Yuwen, can't lift with my shoulders, can't carry with my hands, how could I possibly be a General."
"Ha ha, Brother Guo, I was just jesting."
——
The night sky, the moon shines like silver.
The pure moonlight made Yangchangzi River as beautiful as a jade belt.
This was the river Yi Chen saw when he first came to this world, and tonight, he came back to the place where the dreams began to cast a couple of lines, while waiting for the Fairy Shiran to bring him the final payment.
After continuously slashing the price and revealing the news that the ancient Han health wine would lose its effects after three days, Yang City fell into panic during the daytime today.
Especially the three major families at the forefront who were maddened with rage. But after Li Shiran revealed her identity as a member of the Heavenly Star Sect, all the large households in Yang City lost their temper, because Li Shiran had now taken over the Guo Family.
Knowing that the Guo Family had hitched to this big tree and was now set for a favorable climate, they realized that with their power, they could no longer shake the Guo Family. Hence, they could only pin their hopes on the Great Qian Court and seek help from their own head families.
But contrary to their expectations, the eunuch sent by the Court did not express any dissatisfaction with the Heavenly Star Sect disciple known as Li Shiran taking over the Guo Family. Instead, he insisted that the County Governor of Yang City, now the County Master, cooperate fully with the Guo Family to quickly restore order in Yang City.
A message in a tone that appears to tacitly acknowledge Li Shiran's control over the largest family and related industries in Yang City, while the plea letters sent to their head families sank without a trace, stirring no ripples at all.
Just as quietly as their squandered family fortunes, tossed in without even making a splash to be seen.
They ultimately were on a too low level, unable to understand the implications. The affair in Yang City was essentially Great Qian's fault, and besides, the eldest brother of the Heavenly Star Sect's Inner Sect suffered a loss here; they didn't dare provoke Li Shiran any further. After all, this lady was a member of the Li family of the Heavenly Star Sect.
As the last straw of hope was snuffed out, all the large households in Yang City were as forlorn as if in mourning. Meanwhile, the Guo Family became the hottest topic in Yang City, with countless people beginning to curry favor with the Guo Family. Clearly, the Liu family, which had retracted the marriage with the chubby little black guy, was among them.
Miss Tian's change of heart was evidently largely due to this reason.
"Eh, with the Guo Family emerging as the first family in Yang City after the dust settled, and the Heavenly Star Sect gaining a foothold in Great Qian, not to mention the townspeople of Yang City got their lands taxed much lower than before, this matter is coming to an end. Once I collect the final payment, I'll also be off," mused Yi Chen.
