The night was deep, and Alan ultimately did not die. Her heart was naturally located on the right side of her chest. Although the Underworld Holy Son had pierced her chest, her heart was not completely affected. With the help of the Yao family's physicians, her injuries quickly healed.
The first thing Alan did upon waking was to ask the Yao family members who saved her to find the Nine Swords Young Master.
Meanwhile, our Nine Swords Young Master was kneeling in a courtyard, accompanied by a large black dog and a turtle.
At this moment, Gu Changsheng was inside the house, lighting a lamp and drinking wine, while Liu Yanran and Liu Yuran were, respectively, warming wine and massaging his shoulders.
Li Beifei secretly glanced into the house, noticing that the old guy was focused on drinking. He then turned to Li Wangba and Heilong with anger.
"You two have really screwed me over," Li Beifei said through gritted teeth. If it weren't for these two, he would have been the big winner today. How could he have ended up kneeling here?
Moreover, this kneeling had already lasted for three hours.
A hint of disapproval flashed in Heilong's eyes. He said, "Tch, so what if it's just a few dragon carp? Once I recover my true form, I can use some of my blood to create a few true dragons and return them. You're such a cheapskate."
Li Beifei's mouth twitched violently upon hearing this. This guy had secretly eaten all the remaining eight dragon carp when everyone was gathered at the plaza.
The dragon carp were a small matter, but the dragon carp he ate were raised by his future mistress. That was the main point.
"I really want to kill you right now," Li Beifei said fiercely.
Heilong glanced at him disdainfully, saying, "Even though Dragon Lord hasn't recovered his cultivation, do you think you can touch me? I'll stand here and let you hit me, and you still won't be able to move me."
Li Beifei's face darkened. Heilong's words were almost identical to what he had said in the arena. He finally understood how others felt when they were frustrated.
"And you," Li Beifei turned his gaze to Li Wangba.
This turtle was even more outrageous. He had somehow sneaked into the Yao family's treasure vault and eaten dozens of pills refined with divine herbs. Those were pills refined with divine herbs, super pills that could extend the life of a Supreme, yet this guy ate them like candy beans.
"What are you looking at? Turtle Lord just ate a few pills. If they knew Turtle Lord's identity and how their pills helped Turtle Lord, they would definitely feel very honored."
Although Li Wangba was also kneeling, he showed no remorse and was even a bit boastful.
"I'll honor your mother," Li Beifei cursed.
"My mother? If you can find my mother, I'll acknowledge you as my father." Li Wangba picked his ears. As a Chaos Godfiend, he didn't have things like fathers or mothers.
Li Beifei was speechless.
He thought his own skin was thick enough, but in front of Li Wangba and Heilong, his skin was as thin as a cicada's wing. These two guys had lived for countless millennia. No matter how thick his skin or how sharp his words were, they were just child's play to them.
"Master, the young master and the others have been kneeling for three hours. Can we let them get up?"
At this moment, a voice came from inside the house.
Li Beifei recognized Liu Yanran's voice and was overjoyed. He thought, 'It's not in vain that I dote on you, young master!'
"Yes, Master, the young master knows he was wrong. Please let him get up," Liu Yuran also pleaded.
Li Beifei was even more delighted. At this moment, he finally realized how wise he had been to take them as sword attendants.
"You two little girls are just biased towards your young master," Gu Changsheng said with a helpless shake of his head. He didn't know what kind of enchantment this rebellious disciple had cast on them. This kid wasn't even as handsome as him, yet his romantic luck kept coming one after another. Heaven was truly blind.
"Get up!" Gu Changsheng said.
"Thank you, Master!" Li Beifei was overjoyed and quickly stood up.
"Thank you, Lord!" Li Wangba and Heilong also wanted to get up, but Gu Changsheng said, "Who told you to get up? Continue kneeling. Kneel until dawn to repent for the dead dragon carp and the eaten pills."
Li Wangba and Heilong immediately drooped their heads and continued kneeling.
Li Beifei couldn't help but look at them triumphantly, his eyes full of mockery. He thought, 'Hmph, let you two harm me. Keep kneeling, you guys.'
"What are you so smug about?" At this moment, Gu Changsheng stepped out of the door and came outside. He looked at Li Beifei.
"..."
"Master, well, it's late, and this disciple won't disturb Master's rest. This disciple will take his leave first." After saying that, Li Beifei turned around and wanted to escape, but how could Gu Changsheng let him leave so easily?
"Stop!" Gu Changsheng picked up the wine pot and took a sip.
Li Beifei turned around and said cautiously, "Master, is there anything else?"
Gu Changsheng pointed at the two guys still kneeling on the ground and said, "They are your pets. The master bears the responsibility for the pets' mistakes. I'll give you two choices."
"What choices?" Li Beifei asked curiously.
"First, I'll beat you up. Second, pay money. As for how much..."
"I choose the second one!" Li Beifei interrupted before he could even finish listening and decisively chose the second option. Get beaten up now? Wouldn't his screams spread throughout the entire Yao family, and wouldn't the prestige of the 'Nine Swords Young Master' that he had worked so hard to build disappear in an instant?
No, he absolutely couldn't get beaten up.
Moreover, it was just a matter of paying some money. He now possessed three immortal jades. Although the value of one immortal jade was equivalent to one thousand immortal sources, immortal jades were scarce goods and were often priced but unavailable. If he put them up for auction, one immortal jade could fetch at least one hundred thousand immortal sources.
The value of immortal jade was not only reflected in the energy it contained but also as a symbol of status. Even Yao Tianchen showed a pained expression when he took out three immortal jades, which showed how rare these immortal jades were.
At worst, he would sell the immortal jades. The immortal sources he exchanged could buy nine dragon carp and dozens of pills refined with divine herbs with just a little bit.
After all, only immortals could absorb immortal sources. Even Supremes used divine sources for cultivation.
Being extremely wealthy, he was not afraid of paying money.
"Are you sure?" Gu Changsheng asked.
"Absolutely sure," Li Beifei nodded confidently.
Gu Changsheng nodded and then said, "The total is three immortal jades."
"Not just three... what?" Li Beifei looked at Gu Changsheng in shock, thinking he had misheard.
"Stop dawdling, bring them here." Gu Changsheng reached out, and three immortal jades flew from Li Beifei's storage ring into his hand.
"Damn..."
"Hmm?" Gu Changsheng looked at Li Beifei with a dangerous glint in his eyes and asked, "You don't want to pay? In that case, I'll beat you up."
Li Beifei's expression changed several times, and in the end, he could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger. He said with a mournful face, "This disciple is willing to pay."
His immortal jades, he hadn't even had time to warm them up before they were gone. Damn Gu Changsheng, you are the reincarnation of Zhou Papi.
"Don't make such an expression. Do you think a little cultivator like you can hold onto immortal jades without attracting unwanted attention?" Gu Changsheng said seriously.
"This..."
Li Beifei was stunned. Could it be that the old guy was really thinking for his own good? No, there's no way the old guy could be so kind. Even if he didn't sell them, he could exchange them with others. Now that the Yao family had gathered experts from the Jade Pool Immortal Domain, as long as he told the Yao family head and asked him to be the intermediary, plenty of people would be willing to exchange with him.
He had almost been misled by the old guy.
Hmph, you want to trick me? No way.
"Alright, I know you're broke. Take this." Gu Changsheng threw out a source crystal bag. Li Beifei caught it and found that the source crystal bag was very familiar.
Damn, wasn't this the source crystal bag he used to have?
The bag he had always used to store source crystals before he met the old guy.
Li Beifei opened it and found hundreds of mid-grade source crystals lying inside.
This was really his original source crystal bag.
"Touched, aren't you? I told you before that I was just keeping it for you temporarily. Now that you're grown up, it's time to return it to you. No need to thank me, this is what I should do." Gu Changsheng's expression of doing good for him made Li Beifei want to swing his sword right now.
"I'll help you keep these three immortal jades as well. I'll return them to you when you need them in the future," Gu Changsheng said with a chuckle.
"Master, thank you!" Li Beifei said with a forced smile.
"No need to thank me, this is what I should do. Well, it's late, I'm sleepy, you should rest early too." Gu Changsheng didn't seem to notice Li Beifei's sarcastic tone and calmly issued an eviction order.
Li Beifei took a deep breath, put away the source crystal bag, and then left with Liu Yanran and Liu Yuran.
After Li Beifei and the others left, Gu Changsheng weighed the immortal jades in his hand and said, "That brat, he actually harmed Yao Xian's dragon carp... What are you two looking at? Kneel properly. Don't move, or I'll seal you and make you kneel for hundreds of thousands of years."
Li Wangba and Heilong immediately didn't dare to move. If this were to spread, especially for Li Wangba, if his old Chaos Godfiend friends knew about his current predicament, they would laugh their heads off.
Just as Li Beifei left the courtyard where Gu Changsheng was, he encountered a servant of the Yao family.
