"Uh—"
Cai Kun was montarily stunned.
Seeing his shocked expression, Zhan Tian burst into laughter.
"Let's go!"
He lightly patted his head again before leaving.
Watching Zhan Tian's back, Cai Kun touched his head and smiled wryly, "Old man... if exhaustion leads to death, so be it!"
He had a special feeling for Zhan Tian.
He had been picked up by him and brought back to the Three Judicial Departnts as a child.
He later ntored him.
It could be said that without Zhan Tian, he wouldn't be who he is now.
There were not a few like him in the Three Judicial Departnts, but those personally ntored by Zhan Tian were few and far between.
"Ti to get to work."
Cai Kun finished the remaining tea in his cup and then left the small courtyard.
...
After three days of mad rushing, Ye Jinghong finally returned to Moran City.
"Finally safe, damn it."
However, he looked utterly exhausted at this mont.
He had been on high alert the entire way and traveled as fast as possible. How could he not be tired!
He didn't return to the Three Judicial Departnts but headed straight for Prince Xuan's Mansion.
"I'm back!"
With arrogance, he imdiately arrived in the airspace above Prince Xuan's Mansion.
But....
"Bang!"
A palm shadow suddenly appeared in the sky, slapping him down directly, and he landed heavily in front of the Prince's Mansion Great Hall's door.
"Damn!"
That slap almost made him feel like his entire skeleton was falling apart.
"If you dare to be this arrogant next ti, it won't be just a slap."
Chen Xuan appeared before him, smiling at him.
"You little punk, went to the Imperial City and got bolder, huh? Even dare to call yourself the old man now."
"Hehe... it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
Seeing his smile made Ye Jinghong uneasy, and he quickly admitted his mistake.
"As long as it's just a misunderstanding, co in."
Chen Xuan glanced at him, then entered the great hall.
Seeing this, Ye Jinghong hurriedly followed.
In the great hall.
The two took their seats one after the other. "Well, is there any good news?"
"How did you know there was good news?"
Ye Jinghong was slightly surprised. He received the ssage?
That shouldn't be!
"Unusual events usually indicate sothing strange, and... as long as I want to know, nothing can be hidden from ."
Chen Xuan said casually.
He could guess from his expression even without using Telepathy.
At that mont, Ye Jinghong looked at him with a more cautious gaze.
"Alright, I'm not interested in you, but if you don't say it, I don't mind taking a good look at you."
"No, no..."
Ye Jinghong said quickly, everyone has secrets.
"Damn, why does it feel like I'm naked in front of him."
He felt completely uncomfortable!
Then he imdiately told him roughly what Zhan Tian had said.
"So, you're saying the Winged Swirling Dragon Beast is not elsewhere but in Dark Moon's hands, and it's important!"
"That's about it."
Ye Jinghong nodded, although Zhan Tian hadn't explicitly said it at the ti, it wasn't hard to guess from his expression.
"Finally, Elder Zhan said he could help you get the Winged Swirling Dragon Beast, but you'd owe him a big favor first."
He finally revealed the most important piece of information.
"What kind of favor?"
With Zhan Tian personally taking action, Chen Xuan was certainly tempted, but repaying the favor of an old guy like him wouldn't be easy.
Ye Jinghong just spread his hands, "How would I know that?"
He was just a ssenger; how could he have known?
This made Chen Xuan contemplate his dilemma.
On one hand, the Winged Swirling Dragon Beast; on the other, Zhan Tian's favor.
Ye Jinghong recognized his hesitation, pondered for a mont, then spoke, "Want to hear my advice?"
"Let's hear it!"
Chen Xuan was determined to obtain the Winged Swirling Dragon Beast, but he didn't want to owe Zhan Tian a favor.
Who knows what demands he would make.
"My advice is to agree to Elder Zhan's offer."
Just as Chen Xuan was about to speak, Ye Jinghong interrupted him, "Hear out first."
"From the way I saw Elder Zhan's tone, if he doesn't step in, you absolutely won't be able to get the Winged Swirling Dragon Beast. Even for him, it's not easy."
"If the Winged Swirling Dragon Beast is very important to you, you can agree to it."
"Otherwise, let it go."
"This is just my suggestion; the choice is, of course, yours."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan fell silent.
"So you're saying the Winged Swirling Dragon Beast is extrely important to Dark Moon, and no matter how much I target Dark Moon, they won't hand it over."
"I think that's the case."
"And reality is roughly the sa. Both departnts have sealed off Dark Moon, and other firms are starting to stir. In this situation, if a compromise could have been made, it would have happened already."
"But... as you see, Dark Moon is counterattacking."
"The Shen Family was instigated by them, and who else there might be is uncertain."
Ye Jinghong appeared solemn; Dark Moon was a colossal entity in the Eastern Continent for hundreds of thousands of years, its strength imasurable, its tactics endless.
If possible, he still hoped Chen Xuan wouldn't be in a head-on collision with Dark Moon.
Going on like this helps no one.
Moreover... in the end, those above might take action.
Because Dark Moon was more than just a business; what it controlled was astonishing, and to put it bluntly, it could even influence the stability of Great Yu.
"Hmm!"
Chen Xuan didn't say much, just nodded slightly.
"Alright, I'm going back. If you have any thoughts, send a ssage to , and I'll tell Elder Zhan."
Ye Jinghong stood up, but when he reached the great hall's door, he turned around.
"Sothing else?"
"Keep an eye on my side; I'm afraid of dying!"
The incident with Shen Tong still left him fearful.
"Get lost!"
Chen Xuan laughed and cursed.
But Ye Jinghong felt relieved, "I'm off!"
In the great hall.
