School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master

Chapter 2226: Chapter 2312: Who’s Setting Traps for Whom

Everyone took their seats, and Tie Venerable began introducing Chen Nan, speaking with overwhelming praise. Chen Nan felt a bit abashed, but the Holy Beasts and Human Clan Cultivators nodded in agreement and greeted Chen Nan warmly.

After some pleasantries, people here became even more enthusiastic, especially since Chen Nan showed great curiosity and followed their topics seamlessly, making the Demon Clan and Human Clan quite satisfied.

A tricky young man with triangular eyes walked over to Chen Nan, clinking glasses as he spoke in a low voice, ”I’ve heard from Tie Venerable that Brother Chen is looking for the Ancient Demon Ape. I happen to have some connections, but...”

This triangular-eyed young man deliberately left an air of mystery, and Chen Nan chuckled internally, recognizing the fishing strategy at play.

He grinned and instantly had a few King-grade Spirit Stones in his hand, which were looted from two Flame Sect elders sucked into the Void Illusion Realm. There were over a hundred pieces, plus two Emperor Grade Spirit Stones.

The triangular-eyed young man saw the Spirit Stones in Chen Nan’s hand and involuntarily gulped, his eyes glinting as he chuckled, ”Brother, you’ve misunderstood. Although money’s good, we’re friends now, and I, trying to be a gentleman, cannot accept your wealth.”

The triangular-eyed young man was practically drooling but still persistently refused, which made Chen Nan curious.

”So what’s your idea...” Chen Nan, not bothering to delve into the young man’s intentions, continued to play dumb.

This person must have a purpose, but for now, it’s still unclear what he truly wants.

”Let me tell you straight, Brother Chen. Tie Venerable will emerge tonight at midnight. He loves to connect with brilliant youths, especially those among the Human Clan, and I bet you’ll be his distinguished guest. Let me reveal to you a grand opportunity.”

The triangular-eyed young man said proudly.

”What does that have to do with me looking for the Ancient Demon Ape?” Chen Nan asked curiously.

”Brother, don’t be so impatient. Listen to me slowly. Five hundred years ago, I was at about your Realm. Over these five hundred years, I’ve cultivated to the King Realm at Middle Star Position. Do you know why?”

The triangular-eyed youth looked at Chen Nan mysteriously, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

”Why’s that...” The word ’slow’ hadn’t left Chen Nan’s mouth, though he felt the speed was indeed quite slow. Given fifty years, he could break through to Heavenly Position.

”Haha, great question. I’ve cultivated quickly to this Realm not only by entering the cave left by an ancient powerful being but also because I joined the Taotie Club.”

The triangular-eyed young man recalled the past with a bit of grandiosity, ”I stayed at the Supreme Seventh Layer Heaven stalled for centuries without any progress...”

He babbled on, while Chen Nan yawned continuously, wondering if this guy was killing his appetite. Rarely getting a good meal but having to listen to this nonsense—five hundred years and you boast? I could smack you to death, believe that?

Because of the triangular-eyed fellow, Chen Nan thought Tie Venerable wasn’t anything good either.

This cave gathered many Demon Clan and Human Clan, all so odd, there must be something fishy.

Despite Chen Nan’s cleverness, he couldn’t figure it out for a moment.

The triangular-eyed youth stuffed his mouth with a deer leg, chewing heartily and spitting as he talked. Those nearby seemed to admire this tale, listening attentively, even Tie Venerable who brought Chen Nan seemed intensely focused.

”Damn, a bunch of fools. I never liked school in the Mortal World, and this triangular-eyed guy’s past sounds like reciting a textbook. What’s the point of listening? This crowd is wasting a table of good dishes!”

Chen Nan internally grumbled.

Finally unable to bear it.

”Tie Venerable, I’m here searching for the Ancient Demon Ape, not alone, actually...” Chen Nan stood and spoke.

”Oh? Brother Chen has companions? Your friends are my friends, and everyone’s friends here. Invite them into our cave, let’s drink and share the feast.”

These guys acted as if they hadn’t eaten in ages; during Tie Venerable’s words, a few King Realm Holy Beasts hastily stuffed food into their mouths.

Seeing Chen Nan’s action was embarrassing. He’d finally realized what was awry with the Holy Beasts and Humans here—something was wrong with their spirit—almost like zombies. Though they appeared fine outwardly, they lacked vitality deep down.

”Haha, since Tie Venerable insists, I won’t be modest.”

Chen Na waved her hand, and Haotian Tower emerged from Chen Nan’s arms, landing on the ground.

”Whoosh!”

The next moment, lights flashed, and Ye Yiyi, Su Qingqing, Su Dieyi, Zhao Han, and the Black Feathered Chicken appeared.

The Black Feathered Chicken, within Haotian Tower, had watched outside clearly, and upon emerging, feigned ignorance.

”Wow, so much delicious food, Lord Chicken hasn’t eaten in ages. Seeing everyone so welcoming, Lord Chicken won’t hold back.”

Instantly, the Black Feathered Chicken hopped on the table, began feasting.

Though its beak seemed small, clunk, clunk, clunk, in moments, several dishes were cleared.

The three women and Zhao Han didn’t hold back either, especially Su Dieyi, who couldn’t care less. When Chen Nan first met her, she had stormed into a sect just for food, later fighting her way out after eating.

”Hahaha...” Tie Venerable’s face turned a bit green, especially after seeing Su Qingqing’s Realm at the Peak of Middle Star Position; his expression seemed somewhat unnatural.

”Brother Chen indeed has many friends; your pagoda is a top-grade space treasure, far from ordinary.” Tie Venerable worked to maintain his expression, steering the topic to Haotian Tower.

”Nothing special, it pales compared to treasures of the seniors.” Chen Nan chuckled.

”Friends of Brother Chen are friends of mine, feel free to eat; there’s enough Jade Liquid and Spirit Fruit for everyone. Don’t hold back.”

Tie Venerable spoke while pained, particularly watching the Black Feathered Chicken devour so much, not slowing at all.

His body quivered slightly but his face maintained an expression of joy, yet those others from Human Clan and Demon Clan appeared drooling, unable to act as the Black Feathered Chicken had placed most dishes nearby.

”Once everyone’s eaten their fill, we’ll head into the cave for cultivation.”

Tie Venerable led the way, followed by a long line, while Su Qingqing and the others continued feasting.

The triangular-eyed youth eagerly invited Chen Nan to go along.

After about fifteen minutes, Tie Venerable turned to Chen Nan, smiled, and pointed ahead.

”Brother Chen, take a look. This is the Heaven and Earth cultivation chamber left by ancient powerful beings. Cultivating here advances your cultivation incredibly fast.”
