He Qiushui gestured at this moment and ordered, “Lianshuang, go and pour some tea for your Junior Brother Yang Chen!”
This woman called by He Qiushui was in her early twenties, with martial arts cultivation reaching the sixth level of the Spirit Martial Realm. It seemed that she had inherited He Qiushui’s legacy.
Hearing He Qiushui’s order, the woman hurriedly blushed and answered sweetly, “Yes!”
Then, she quickly prepared to do so.
He Qiushui slowly sat down and introduced, “This is my direct disciple, Fu Lianshuang!”
“Great masters produce great disciples, and Senior He’s disciples are indeed exceptional.” Yang Chen smirked.
Seeing the harmless smile on Yang Chen’s face, He Qiushui sighed. It was clear that she was telling Yang Chen that she knew very well whether or not he was interested in her disciple. She was well aware of Yang Chen’s current influence in North Mountain County. If her disciple followed Yang Chen, she would not be wronged in time.
Just like the relationship she had with her senior brother He Yunxiao back then, unfortunately, her luck was a little worse.
She didn’t believe Yang Chen couldn’t understand her implied meaning, yet Yang Chen’s attitude showed no such intention.
At the same time, Fu Lianshuang came over with the tea, gave Yang Chen a cup, and also her Master a cup. While pouring the tea, she didn’t forget to say, “Junior Brother Yang Chen, this is our special tea from Twin Luan Peak, which is not available in the outside world.”
“Thank you for your hospitality, Senior Sister Lianshuang and Senior He.” Yang Chen cupped his hands in thanks.
When Fu Lianshuang heard Yang Chen’s gratitude, her pretty face blushed, and she couldn’t help but take a few more glances at him, filled with curiosity about North Mountain County’s number one genius. As the number one genius in North Mountain County, she knew no one could be more outstanding than Yang Chen.
Thinking of this, Fu Lianshuang’s heart thumped wildly.
He Qiushui waved her hand and instructed, “Lianshuang, you go down first. I have something to discuss with your Junior Brother Yang Chen.”
“Yes, Master.” Fu Lianshuang left with a light jog.
“Yang Chen, there is a Restriction Array set up around here. Not even the soul of a True Martial Realm master can probe it. You can rest assured, and just speak your mind directly. You came here specifically to find me, there must be more to it than just paying me a visit, right?”
He Qiushui spoke calmly.
Yang Chen didn’t answer in a hurry.
“Young Master, there’s nothing wrong around here. You can rest assured.” Yun Lu said.
Hearing this, Yang Chen finally relaxed, “Senior He, a few days ago, this junior returned to the Great Wilderness and encountered Fire Essence Beasts, numbering more than fifty!”
“What?” He Qiushui was well aware of the significance of the Fire Essence Beasts: “What are the Fire Essence Beasts doing in the Great Wilderness?”
“This, of course, is plotting against the Guardian Spirit Array. The Fire Essence Beasts have done an impeccable job on this matter. If not for this junior’s familiarity with the Great Wilderness, it would be difficult to detect any abnormalities in the matter.” Yang Chen’s expression was tense.
He Qiushui’s eyebrows also gradually furrowed: “Guardian Spirit Array… Guardian Spirit Array, this matter is extremely important!”
“Senior He, this matter is indeed important, but it cannot be casually revealed. Otherwise, not only will others not believe it, but we also may not be able to avoid a deadly disaster. Moreover, the two of us… people of little influence.
Yang Chen said.
He Qiushui looked deeply at Yang Chen and also sensed the deep thoughts and far-sightedness from this young man.
Indeed, what Yang Chen said was not false.
No matter what they say, it was like casting pearls before swine. With their current standing, they were indeed people of little influence. Even if they were to speak out, how much impact could they create? Instead of causing trouble, they might end up endangering their own lives, which wouldn’t be worth it.
“By the way, Yang Chen, what happened to those Fire Essence Beasts?” He Qiushui’s red lips opened slightly, and her eyes were filled with worry.
Yang Chen spoke gently, “All of them have already been dealt with by this junior. Senior, you don’t have to worry.”
Seeing Yang Chen speak so lightly about this, He Qiushui frowned. She couldn’t help but feel that when Yang Chen dealt with the Fire Essence Beasts, it might not have been as casual as he made it sound. However, Yang Chen didn’t seem to have any intention of boasting.
Yang Chen didn’t want to deliberately mention how troublesome it was for him to deal with the Fire Essence Beasts and so on, as it was meaningless. Now that time was pressing, he wanted to focus on more important matters.
At this moment, he said solemnly, “Senior He, what I want to talk to you about is not just the Fire Essence Beasts. In fact, the most important thing is not how the Fire Essence Beasts erode the Guardian Spirit Array. No matter how much they erode, it will take decades for them to complete their mission. The key lies in how the Fire Essence Beasts entered North Mountain County and how they went to the Great Wilderness.”
He Qiushui’s delicate body trembled slightly, “You mean…”
“What I mean is, who let these Fire Essence Beasts into North Mountain County.” Yang Chen said calmly, “I can’t think of any other reasons to how the Fire Essence Beasts entered North Mountain County so easily and penetrated so deep into the Great Wilderness if there isn’t someone with enough authority secretly assisting.”
He Qiushui listened to his words and sighed heavily, “Yang Chen, based on my investigation, my senior brother does have a lot of suspicions, and there is a lot he cannot clarify. If what you said is true, then these Fire Essence Beasts should have been released by my senior brother.”
Seeing that He Qiushui believed his words, Yang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, “Senior He, I am very grateful that you trust this junior so much. What He Shangfeng has done, I do not know, nor can I investigate at the moment. I came here today just to ask you for a favor before leaving North Mountain County.”
“Leaving North Mountain County, it seems that Beishan Main City has found you to help with the banquet for the Black Dragon Sect,” He Qiushui said.
“That’s right.” Yang Chen nodded lightly.
He Qiushui spoke warmly, “What do you want me to help you with?”
“It’s simple, Senior. I can still take care of the Great Wilderness and watch over the Fire Spirit Beast Group while I’m in North Mountain County. But what about when I leave? Senior, as a matter of fact, You are the only one who can keep an eye on He Shangfeng and prevent him from easily colluding with the Fire Essence Beasts.” Yang Chen said.
He Qiushui nodded and said, “Yang Chen, if you can still do so much for North Mountain County, why can’t I do so after my senior brother’s death? You don’t have to ask for my help, I should be doing this.”
“It’s good that you think so, Senior. For He Shangfeng’s sake, you must be careful. Moreover, I’m afraid I won’t be back for a while after I go to the Black Dragon Sect.” Yang Chen said with a solemn expression.
“You won’t be back for a short time? What’s going on?” He Qiushui looked at Yang Chen with great puzzlement, not understanding the meaning of Yang Chen’s words.
