“There are so many treasures that we need to guard them together.”

“That being said…”

The scarred guard revealed a sinister smile. He kept rubbing his hands together as he laughed. “It’s not a bad idea to steal a few good treasures!”

“Truth be told, everyone is prepared to secretly grab a few good treasures for ourselves!”

The scarred guard seemed to be well-versed in this. It seemed that he had done this many times in the past.

“Ah…”

“Those are my father’s… You actually did something like this!” Young Master Xiu Hulan had just said a few words when the scarred guard covered his mouth.

The scarred guard patted the young man’s head, and then sighed and pulled Young Master Xiuhu Lan away from the other two middle-aged men. He whispered, “Young Master, think about it properly. Those treasures were meant to help you increase your strength, aren’t they?”

“Furthermore, I’m your loyal subordinate. As the only son of the sect master, won’t you inherit the sect someday? Isn’t it good for your supporters to become stronger so that they can do more things for you?”

Young Master Xiu Hulan nodded with a confused expression.

The scarred guard had an evil smile on his face, and it was obvious that this was not the first time he deceived Xiu Hulan.

“Young Master, just imagine it for yourself. Aside from the Grand Elder, the other elders all ignore you. They are all late-stage Primordial Chaos realm experts, so if they obtain these artifacts and break through to the Dao Integration realm, won’t they try to usurp your inheritance and steal your position in the future?”

As soon as he heard these words, Young Master Xiu Hulan became anxious.

“Young Master, don’t be anxious!”

“All we have to do to prevent this is ensure that your strength, and mine, exceeds theirs.”

“The elders will arrive in the afternoon,” the scarred guard said with a deep gaze. “Tonight is the first night, so everyone will be cautious.”

“In the meantime, I’ll take you to the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion to have fun.”

“At the same time, we’ll see if we can find that arrogant little brat from earlier and kill him. Then tomorrow we will…”

The scarred guard had already planned everything out. In order to increase his prestige and status in the sect, he would cozy up to Xiu Hulan. Furthermore, if anything went wrong, the young master could take the fall. After all, he was just a subordinate.

Xiu Hulan felt that these words were very reasonable, so he quickly nodded and said, “Let’s go look at residences. Then, we can go have some fun.”

At the same time, Ye Chen was walking through Sky Sword City, observing his surroundings and the situation.

To his surprise, he saw a familiar face.

Beitang Wuyang had also appeared in Sky Sword City. However, she did not recognize him in his disguise.

“Heavenly Sun Grand Meeting!”

“All of the geniuses have gathered to discuss the Dao. Everyone, the tickets officially go on sale now!”

“Listening to the geniuses discussing the Dao will resolve your confusions about cultivating, and you may even gain some unexpected insights into your Daos, different techniques or different cultivation paths and broaden your horizons!”

An early-stage Primordial Chaos realm expert stood on a balcony and peddled tickets for the meeting.

Ye Chen walked over to take a look. It was just related to some of the geniuses from the six major factions who had arrived. They had held a banquet and called it a Dao discussion. Then, their subordinates decided to sell tickets to the meeting. For the price of one ninth-grade immortal artifact, one could ask the geniuses a question.

He ignored them, but when he turned around to take a look, he was surprised to find a large number of ordinary cultivators rushing toward the banquet venue.

“Strange…”

“For that price, they would be able to find a reliable Divine King realm expert to guide them for some time. Can the experiences of a genius be applied to ordinary cultivators? Such a waste.”

Ye Chen felt bored and walked out of the crowd.

At night, Ye Chen made his way to the ordinary residential area and found an inn to stay at.

“Hello… Would you like to book a room?”

A beautiful young girl wearing coarse clothes came up. She was eighteen or nineteen years old, and her cultivation level was not high.

However, she was clearly feeling a little nervous, and kept looking around as if she was afraid of something.

Ye Chen’s brows furrowed tightly. “Your sign board indicates that this is an inn. If I didn’t come to stay, would I have bothered coming inside?”

When the young girl heard this, her face blushed slightly and she shook her head repeatedly.

Seeing this, Ye Chen could not resist teasing her and laughed. “I’m just joking with you. I might have to stay a few nights.”

The young girl suddenly looked outside and whispered, “About that… Customer, you must be hungry after traveling. Why don’t you eat something?”

Ye Chen nodded. “What signature dishes do you have? Serve them all to me.”

Then, he took out more than ten supreme-grade immortal stones and handed them to the girl, after which he found a table by the window and sat down.

He looked around and found that this was a somewhat dilapidated inn. No one else was here. He was the only customer.

“Thank you, customer. Thank you so much…”

The young girl was very grateful. She excitedly went to the kitchen to inform the staff. Then, she walked out and personally brought over a large jug of wine. She said apologetically, “This wine is the best in our shop. It’s free of charge. If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid our shop wouldn’t be able to continue operating!”

“It’s fine!”

“Oh right, since you’re running an inn here, you should know a thing or two about this place and the situation. Tell me, what’s this auction like?”

Ye Chen had a habit of going to an inn every time he visited a city, but this was the first time he was the only guest. There were no conversations that he could eavesdrop on.

“Customer, please call me Xiao Yu!”

“You’re not allowed to go out at night while the auction is in progress.” The young lady explained what was going on. At the same time, she said cautiously, “Please be careful, sir!”

“There are indeed law enforcement teams in the Sky Sword City during the day, but it is chaotic at night.”

“It’s likely that there will be criminals trying to steal the auction’s treasures, so battles will break out. It’s easy for ordinary people to be caught in the crossfire.”

“Customer, given your strength…” She smiled apologetically and said, “You just have to stay at our inn. It’s old and shabby, so no experts will come here.”

Ye Chen nodded. He had wanted to ask for information about the auction itself, but instead received advice.

Still, that gave him a good impression of her. At the very ;east. She was concerned about his safety.

However, he was very curious. Where were her parents?

Could she really manage the inn by herself in such a dangerous city?
