Only after sending Ao Xue here did Gan Lin leave. Daybreak Merchants Union’s wish to meet with Long Chen was something that he had the freedom to deal with himself, and it was not Gan Lin’s place to interfere.

It was evident that Ao Xue was annoyed at being sent here. The more she looked at Long Chen’s smiley face, the fury in her heart burnt stronger.

“Manager Zhao said that our Daybreak Merchants Union has acquired a new Spirit Recovery Fruit, and asks if you need it.”

She gazed at Long Chen indifferently, speaking in a low voice.

She had been working well in Daybreak Merchant Unions, but for some reason had been ordered to come all the way here just to tell Long Chen this information. This was a little difficult for her to stomach.

She could not understand why Manager Zhao would go so far just for Long Chen.

“I need it, of course I need it!”

Long Chen had always been a spoilt child, and he had no second thoughts about saving up the hundred or so Spirit Jades he had in his possession for future use.

“When I get stronger, obtaining these things isn’t going to be a problem. It’s better to buy more items while I can and get spirit medicines for my darling so that she can live longer.”

While thinking all this, Long Chen noticed that Ao Xue was glaring at him with all the hatred she could muster. He was a fearless person and paid no mind to her, arrogantly ordering her, “Miss Ao Xue, show me the way.”

Before coming here, Manager Zhao had repeatedly reminded her not to be rude to Long Chen. Ao Xue was in no position to disregard the order, and no matter how difficult Long Chen got, she could only grit her teeth and endure it.

“Youngster, the moment I get an opportunity, I’ll definitely skin you! You only obtained a few more Metal Hearts, and for some reason, Manager Zhao thinks you’re a treasure! I’ll definitely find a chance to prove that this Long Chen or whatever can’t even be compared to me!”

Heart full of hatred, Ao Xue was silent as she walked ahead, expression dark.

“This doll doesn’t look half bad, though she’s horribly gloomy. I guess my Lingxi is the prettiest after all…”

Behind Ao Xue, Long Chen made gestures at her while speaking in a low voice. This was all to Lingxi’s pleasure, and she giggled and could not stop laughing.

If Ao Xue heard Long Chen’s words, she would definitely have tried to kill Long Chen right there and then.

However, that gloomy look on Ao Xue really had Long Chen on his guard.

“I don’t know what Manager Zhao is trying to do. If it’s just a Spirit Recovery Fruit, he could have just gotten Ao Xue to bring it to me rather than go to the trouble of bringing me here. Could he still be trying to rope me in?”

Right behind Ao Xue, Long Chen admired her slim and delicate body and lilting steps as he pondered inwardly about how he should handle Manager Zhao later.

It was now noon, and there were fewer customers at Daybreak Merchants Union than usual. When Long Chen arrived, Manager Zhao was already there to give him a warm welcome, hugging Long Chen and then patting his back, “Long Chen, my boy, you’re finally here!”

“To be so eager for no reason, he must have some evil intentions.”

Within the Lingxi Sword, Lingxi’s curled her lips, annoyed at Manager Zhao’s behaviour.

Long Chen enthusiastically answered Manager Zhao, who then brought him into the VIP room. He gestured to Long Chen to have a seat, and let Ao Xue, whose expression was dark, to pour them some tea. He was all smiles while he gazed at Long Chen.

“I heard that you managed to kill an expert of the Human Dan Realm at the Initial Mastery Stage. Have you already reached the Human Dan Realm?”

The moment she heard Manager Zhao get straight to the point and spout such earth-shattering words, Ao Xue poured the tea outside the cup in her surprise.

“I’m sorry, Manager, I was much too careless…”

Manager Zhao wasn’t in a good position to get angry in front of Long Chen and was about to send her outside, but Long Chen waved his hand and arrogantly glanced at Ao Xue, “Don’t go yet. You dirtied this place, so isn’t it your duty to clean it up?”

“You-!”

Ao Xue was right about to storm away, but Manager Zhao quickly spoke up, “Ao Xue, clean it up.”

Upon hearing Manager Zhao’s calm voice, Ao Xue did not dare disobey and could only glare at Long Chen, gritting her teeth and doing as asked.

Seeing her trying to suppress how wronged she was feeling, Long Chen felt exceptionally smug.

The previous time he had come to Daybreak Merchants Union, this person had had her nose in the air, which had made him quite annoyed. Now, he was finally able to make her feel the same way.

After all this, Long Chen began to speak with Manager Zhao.

“Manager Zhao, it’s true that I’ve already reached the Deity Dan Realm. However, whatever you’ve heard about me killing Huang Feiyang are just lies that someone spread to slander me. If I really did kill Senior Brother Huang, I wouldn’t be free of injuries and be able to speak with you like this.”

Manager Zhao himself was disbelieving of the news of Long Chen killing Huang Feiyang. After all, Long Chen had only just entered the Human Dan Realm.

However, even if he had not killed Huang Feiyang, this did not affect how highly he regarded Long Chen. He took out a large wooden box with red silk fabric inside, within which were actually two Spirit Recovery Fruits.
