Even in Inner City, she couldn’t afford to rent a room, she could only stay in the smallest antechamber.

In comparison, the glamorous and generous Gu Caiyi and the lively and cute

Bai Meiling knew so much more than she did.

Therefore, she was now being manipulated like a puppet.

“Ah, I can no longer fuss about it.”

“As long as I can accomplish that business, it will all be worth it.

Sighing in her heart, Feng Xia forced herself to accept the reality.

However, looking at her strange yet beautiful reflection in the bronze mirror, she couldn’t help but curl up the corners of her mouth.

I wasn’t that ugly after all!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

“Luo Chen, I know you’re home, open the door!”

Early in the morning, someone was knocking on Luo Chen’s door.

With sleepy eyes, Luo Chen opened the door and sighed at the woman standing in front of him.

-You’re not busy, huh? What do you need me for? Don’t tell me you came here first thing in the morning to hang out with me!”

Everything was fine until the latter part, which made the woman in front of him blush.

Luo Chen was taken aback, “Mi Junping, why are you blushing all of a sudden?”

Inhale!

After taking a deep breath, Mi Junping held back her discomfort and asked sternly, “How long has it been since you visited the Pill Hall, and you’re asking me what I need?”

“Oh, you mean that!”

Luo Chen leaned against the door and yawned.

“I have too many things to do at home, I can’t leave.

“What kind of business do you have? I heard from Zhou Yuanh that you re being irresponsible, running around all day. You were shouting all afternoon yesterday, and people complained that you were disturbing the peace.

Mentioning the disturbance, Luo Chen felt embarrassed.

Yesterday, he had arranged a meeting with a good friend from the Heaven Sound Building and had a discussion about music.

As a result, some uncouth person went to complain to Sun Shou, saying that he disturbed the peace of study and almost caused the neighbors to experience demonic deviation.

What on earth was that all about!

“Let me tell you, the Jade Marrow Pills have been selling very well, and the stocks from last month can’t last for a few days. If you don’t come back to the Pill Hall, my father will be angry.”

Luo Chen rolled his eyes, “If your father is going to be angry, let him come to me! Anyway, I’m not leaving Inner City anytime soon.”

After saying this, he went back to his room and closed the door.

He acted as if he were secluded in a little tower, paying no heed to the worldly winds and moonlight.

Mi Junping remained stunned in place, uncertain of what to say for a moment. With clenched teeth, she glared hatefully at this crumbling house and turned around to leave.

In the Broken Mountain Gang, Mi Shuhua was flipping through the recent account book, listening to Mi Junping’s report.

After a while, he put down the account book and fell into deep thought.

“Luo Chen is still afraid of being attacked!”

“Huh?”

Mi Junping was taken aback, she hadn’t thought of this.

After looking at him, Mi Shuhua sighed.

His eldest daughter, besides being a little shrewd in finance, was really mediocre in all other aspects.

She had poor judgment of character, married early and gave birth to her daughter Mi Li, which hindered her path of cultivation.

She was narrow-minded and often nitpicked towards the members of the Broken Mountain Gang, causing discontent among the people.

And her temper wasn’t pleasant either; she bossed everyone around relying on her Foundation Establishment father.

He wondered what she would do if he failed to reach Core Formation in a hundred years’ time, and there was no second Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Mi Family.

Ah, perhaps there’s no need to consider this.

Her talent wouldn’t allow her to break through the Foundation Establishment level. In a hundred years, she might even leave before him.

Standing up, Mi Shuhua paced towards the exit with Mi Junping following closely behind.

“After all, we never really provided Luo Chen with an explanation about the last assassination attempt in the Green Hemp Forest,”

“Calamity Cultivators from Xuelian District just showed up too abruptly.” “Luo Chen may seem carefree and casual about everything. But in reality, he’s more cunning than most people.”

Confused, Mi Junping said, “Cunning? Luo Chen?’

Feeling nostalgic, Mi Shuhua said,

“Such cunning can be seen in various aspects.

“When dealing with others, he is always humble before those of higher cultivation levels. With those of similar levels, he manages to maintain a good relationship. To those who are weaker, he never bullies them, even willing to

be generous.”

Opening and closing her mouth, Mi Junping wanted to speak, but stopped herself. Luo Chen, really?

She had a higher cultivation level than him and never noticed him being particularly humble!

Walking under the eaves, watching the heavy snow slowly stop, Mi Shuhua continued his reminiscence.

“In terms of combat, you probably never noticed. He’s not as fearful of death as he seems, but rather he’s courageous and strategic.”

“You all assumed that Luo Chen was saved by me. But the truth is, before I arrived, he had already swiftly killed two enemies and even had the energy to chase after the remnants.”

“I’ve privately interrogated Lu Huaiben, and he described that battle in detail, three times.”

“Luo Chen quickly created a distance, then pretended to be weak, falling into the dense forest. Within that short time gap, he set up knife arrays and hidden weapons in advance, then quickly released the technique with unknown means.”

“And that’s not all. He even had an attack plan laid out in advance. First, immobilize Lu Huaiben, who was the strongest, then kill the weakest enemy with swift action. For the flaw that he exposed, he had already prepared a Four Symbols Tripod, to defend against another enemy equipped with an Ascendant Grade Magic Tool.”

“Even in the subsequent chase, while injuring the enemy, he never stopped being vigilant, continuously activating the defensive ability of the Four Symbols Tripod.”

Each sentence made Mi Junping’s heart and soul tremble.

Suddenly, she heard a sentence.

“If you are surrounded and killed by three Ninth Level Qi Refinement Cultivators, Ping’er, could you handle it like he did?

Forcing a smile, Mi Junping started to laugh but it soon faded into silence.

Shaking his head, Mi Shuhua went on, “Such a harmonious way of dealing with others, being courageous and strategic in life and death fights, and moreover, he is very conscious of his manners. He understands my high tolerance for him, thus repeatedly asking for benefits, yet always keeping it within bounds.” “How many Qi Refinement Cultivators would dare to push their luck in front of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator?”

At this point, Mi junping finally realized that Luo Chen was not as simple as he appeared.

Even as his daughter, she was exceedingly cautious in front of Mi Shuhua, who was growing increasingly imposing.

For Luo Chen to “get along” with Mi Shuhua in such a way was an unnoticeable, yet unimaginable reality.

-Luo Chen is very cunning. I know it and he probably knows that I know it. But with the benefits of the Jade Marrow Pill in play, it’s just a small matter.” ■’But this time, the appearance of the Calamity Cultivators gave him a sense of insecurity.”

“Why do you think I immediately assigned him three Late Stage Qi Refinement Cultivators for protection?”

Asking and answering his own question, Mi Shuhua continued,

“But he still felt insecure!”

Hesitant, Mi Junping said, “What should we do to make him feel secure? Father, you’ve already sent men to Xuelian District to hunt down Dan Xiu. I heard that Gao Tingyuan from the Great Lake Gang has been pushed to the least profitable water route of Liuguang District. Haven’t we done all we could?”

Sigh…

A long sigh.

In Mi Junping’s ears, it was particularly harsh.

“Sometimes it is not absolute safety that moves people’s hearts. Sufficient benefits can often make people overlook a bit of risk.”

With an indifferent expression on his face, Mi Shuhua seemed as though the sigh full of disappointment just now wasn’t from him.

“Luo Chen wants a reassurance, I will give it to him.”

“Didn’t Mi Zifan suffer a terrible defeat on the Dao Debate Platform to a Duan Family’s outcast last month?”

“You go there, take his Small Qi Gathering Array, and personally deliver it to Luo Chen. Say that refining pills every day slows down his cultivation. This Small Qi Gathering Array can serve as compensation.”

Stunned, Mi Junping remained in awe even after Mi Shuhua had left.

Within the Mi family, there are only two Spirit Gathering Arrays. The larger one Mi Shuhua always uses.

The smaller one, it’s usually lent to the most talented junior in the clan.

She had used it before, and so had her youngest sister.

Unfortunately, none of the second generation of the Mi family were successes, and currently, the Small Qi Gathering Array was mostly used by the third generation.

But now, Mi Shuhua surprisingly wanted to give the Small Qi Gathering Array to Luo Chen?
