Chapter 82 (2/2)

Zhao Tianfang nodded his head, saying, “No harm done. Oh by the way, what for did you come to Daybreak Merchants Union and try to exchange your steel hearts?”

“I want a Spirit Recovery Fruit.”

Zhao Tian openly smiled and said, “I asked Ao Xue to get it for you”

Long Chen shook his head, saying, “Old Zhao, currently I am not a member of the Daybreak Merchants Union and because of the so-called don’t be rewarded if you do not deserve it, I would like to buy this Spirit Recovery Fruit myself. I will pay you 30 steel hearts and 10 pieces of deity jade for this.”

With a serious look in his eyes, Zhao Tianfang said, “I am giving it to you because of our friendship and it has nothing to do with Daybreak Merchants Union. Is this also not agreeable with you?”

Long Chen wasn’t swayed by what Zhao Tianfang, and he said in an indifferent manner, “Old Zhao, frankly, I am really grateful that you want to gift this to me. However, the fact is that you are a representative of Daybreak Merchants Union. If you present me with items, can you please wait for my decision to join Daybreak Merchants Union?”

Zhao Tianfang looked at Long Chen for a while, then muttered, “This kid’s innate talent is not bad and he also has many secrets in his body. Moreover, he is level-headed and daring and has a heart of perseverance. He is a rare talent and with such a person, if I am eager and impatient, it would only lead to him disliking me.”

Therefore, he simply took what Long Chen offered him, and with a nod, he said, “Since you insist, I will do as you said.”

“I wonder, does Old Zhao have any other spirit healing medicines?”

“Medicines of this type are ineffective if they are of a low level. And high level medicines can enhance the intelligence and perception of a human, but it would vary from person to person, and in short, it is very rare. I have here only one Spirit recovery Fruit, which is all. But if it’s a requirement of yours, I have some new goods and I will send it to you via someone.”

Long Chen nodded his head, saying, “Thank you for all your trouble, Old Zhao! This junior still has other matters to attend to, so I will be taking my leave first.”

“Hmm. . .I will get Ao Xue to give you that Spirit Recovery Fruit.”

The two men went outside. The female, known as Ao Xue, was waiting for them on the outside. She gave a look filled with loathing towards Long Chen.

Although she was unwilling to do so, under Zhao Tianfang’s command, she handed over the Spirit Recovery Fruit to Long Chen and under further instructions; she was to lead Long Chen out of Daybreak Merchants Union.

“Is our Daybreak Merchants Union’s profit slipping away from our hands?”

Ao Xue was talking to herself, but her words had been heard by Long Chen.

“Who said I slapped your b.u.t.t? You really have no shame, I would dislike my hands getting dirty by touching you.”

Long Chen left without another word. Then, under Ao Xue’s furious glare, he quickly fled the Daybreak Merchants Union.

“Xiao Xi, you saw that stinky woman’s angry expression. Her face looks like as if it is caked with cow dung.”

Ling Xi snorted, and then scolded him with a smile, “You are really bad. She just said a few words to you but you still made her so angry.”

“Of course. She deserves that!”

Having got the Spirit Recovery Fruit, both of them were pretty excited. Long Chen had experienced a lot of stuff, but his age wasn’t much and he had a youngster’s temperament. Since he had got this Spirit Recovery Fruit, his face was beaming with joy.

The two of them quickly returned to the Lingwu City. Around noon time, they had come to the Green Willow Residence in the Green region of Lingwu City.

He had just returned when he found that Gan Lin was waiting for him in the Martial Techniques Training Hall.

“Did you or did you not get 105 steel hearts?”

During their meeting, Gan Lin asked eagerly.

Long Chen immediately calmed down.

Gan Lin, upon seeing Long Chen looking like this, immediately said “You youngsters really know how to avoid losing face. I would not have known anything if we hadn’t found those 30 steel puppets — during the final inspection — missing their steel hearts, in the tunnel you pa.s.sed through. But those are the achievements of the past, I’m here to tell you about another matter.”

Gan Lin quickly skipped over the matter regarding the steel hearts; he did not care about them. Long Chen only then let loose the breath he had been holding.

“Fortunately, he did not ask me about anything, otherwise I would have been finished. It seems these steel hearts are not worth any money. Zhao Tianfang paid 3 pieces of deity jade for them and this is because he completely wants to rope me in.”

Then Long Chen set aside the matter of the steel hearts and asked, “I wonder, what is it that Senior Gan wants to tell me?”

Gan Lin grabbed a chair, sat down and said, “Enforcer Liu told me to tell you that the Crimson Blood Sacred Sect has not made any movements towards Poplar Town. This is to make you feel relieved and go and complete your first mission. However, Long Chen….”

Hearing this, Long Chen felt as if a load had been removed from his shoulders. But the three-syllabled word ‘However’ uttered by Gan Lin, and made his heart race.

“There are still 4 more days for your first mission to be allotted to you. Although your mission has not yet been finalised, it seems Enforcer Liu intentionally allowed Huang Feiyang and Wen Ya to take you along with them for your first mission, as your examiners. At that time….”
