The Elder Surely Has Deeper Intentions, Just Wait for Your Rise to Power

Tang Siyuan stared blankly at the Beast Tamer Guild Master and asked, "Are you certain that black dog is truly a dragon?!"

The Beast Tamer Guild Master could hardly believe it himself.

But after glancing at the blue-maned lion beside him, he finally nodded.

He added directly, "That's what it told me. And look at its state, it doesn't seem to be lying..."

Everyone turned to look.

The blue-maned lion was still trembling, its fur still standing on end...

Tang Siyuan and the others no longer doubted at this point.

Beasts had a very clear perception of other beasts.

Moreover, given this blue-maned lion's high level, it was unlikely to have misperceived.

"If the Elder is such a being, surely he didn't come to our royal city just for Liu Shuai?" Yang Liwan voiced his thoughts.

Tang Siyuan wasn't sure either, but it must have something to do with Liu Shuai.

As Yang Liwan was pondering this, he noticed his communication jade slip start to vibrate.

When Yang Ming had left for his training expedition, he had forgotten to bring his communication jade slip.

Upon returning to the royal city, he had hurriedly tried to find his father but to no avail, so he had to use the communication jade slip to send a message.

Now, at the Beast Mountain Range, Yang Liwan discovered his son was trying to contact him and listened to the message.

However, after listening, he was dumbfounded once again.

A super powerhouse had saved them in the Beast Mountain Range?!

This!!

Tang Siyuan, seeing Yang Liwan freeze after listening to the jade slip message, keenly sensed that something significant had occurred.

"Brother Yang, has something happened?"

Hearing Tang Siyuan's words, Yang Liwan finally snapped back to reality and quickly relayed what his son had encountered.

He was one hundred percent certain that the person his son spoke of was this very Elder!

Upon hearing this, Tang Siyuan's eyes widened to twice their size.

He immediately cupped his hands towards Yang Liwan and said, "Brother Yang, we'll be counting on your support in the future!"

The Formation Master Guild President and the Heavenly Venerable Tower Master, along with a few others, also cupped their hands towards Yang Liwan after hearing this, their faces full of envy.

Yang Liwan blinked, feeling a bit confused.

Tang Siyuan explained, "Brother Yang, are you not aware of why the Liu family suddenly gained the support of our major guilds? It's all because of this being, who brought Liu Shuai to our guilds! Yes, it was just because of such a simple act!"

"And now your nephew Yang Ming was actually saved by the Elder, who even escorted him out of the Beast Mountain Range. Surely the Elder must have deeper intentions! Think about it, the Elder has appeared in your kingdom. If there wasn't some connection to you, it wouldn't make sense!"

"In short, just wait for your rise to power under the Elder's support!"

As Yang Liwan listened to Tang Siyuan's explanation, his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Is this... really true?!

Then... does that mean our kingdom has a chance to become an empire?!

Heavens!

Yang Liwan was overjoyed.

...

Chen Ping'an quickly returned to the royal city.

He headed straight for the Treasure Gathering Hall.

His heart was filled with joy, like ripples on spring water.

It was the first time he had possessed such immense wealth.

Five hundred thousand spirit stones!

The mere thought of it was terrifying.

Chen Ping'an had it all planned out. He would first buy that high-grade Mystic Rank martial skill.

Then he would see if the Treasure Gathering Hall had any good movement techniques.

He could buy those as well.

Of course, what he was most eager to see now was whether that token could be used.

If it could be used, hehe, he could save a lot of spirit stones.

A martial skill worth fifty thousand spirit stones would only cost him five thousand with the token.

For a tycoon like him with hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, it was like pocket change.

Chen Ping'an soon arrived at the entrance of the Treasure Gathering Hall.

"Hm?"

However, the place was crowded with people.

It was very lively.

"Did something happen?" Chen Ping'an decided to squeeze in and check out the situation.

Seeing that the black dog would have trouble squeezing through, he told it to wait outside.

The Black Flood Dragon had long wanted to wander around on its own. Now, seeing Chen Ping'an squeeze into the crowd, its gaze darted rapidly around the surroundings.

Finally, its gaze fell upon a young woman.

"Oh ho! Little sister, aren't you dressed a bit too lightly? Won't you catch a cold? Uncle Dragon is coming to warm you up!"

The Black Flood Dragon dashed off in that direction.

Chen Ping'an squeezed into the crowd and found that a drama was unfolding right in front of him.

He saw a middle-aged man, his face bruised black and blue, being carried out by two burly middle-aged men, who then roughly threw him to the ground.

One of the burly men coldly said, "Fool, you dare to use a fake token and try to get everything for free?! Our deputy hall master said, next time we see you, we'll beat you again!"

As he spoke, the man threw a purple token at the battered man on the ground and spat.

The beaten man on the ground glanced around with beady eyes, picked up the fake token, and turned to leave.

Chen Ping'an watched this scene, dumbfounded.

Damn!

How come that token looked so similar to the one in his possession?!

The only difference was that it lacked some gold coloring.

Chen Ping'an stood there for a moment, suddenly doubting the effectiveness of his token.

"Perhaps I shouldn't take it out?"

If he hadn't witnessed this scene, he wouldn't have had such thoughts.

And after seeing those two burly men, he felt a bit scared.

He believed that Murong Gong wouldn't deceive him, but he feared that Murong Gong might have been deceived by others. If this token was also fake, his fate might be even worse than that man's!

Chen Ping'an swallowed hard and looked towards the interior of the Treasure Gathering Hall.

"Ahem, maybe I won't use it this time. Next time I'll bring Liu Shuai, or find Tang Siyuan to come here, then try using the token..."

With some backing, even if the token was fake, the Treasure Gathering Hall would give them face.

And fifty thousand spirit stones wasn't something he couldn't afford, after all, he had over five hundred thousand spirit stones.

Thinking this way, Chen Ping'an began to step into the Treasure Gathering Hall.

At this moment, there were still many people outside the door, some even feeling that they hadn't seen enough drama and deciding to enter the hall to see more.

Chen Ping'an also entered the hall with the flow of people.

But what he didn't expect was...

Just as he entered, the steward who had received him last time was standing guard at the entrance, and as soon as he saw Chen Ping'an, his eyes lit up as if he had seen a beautiful woman without clothes, radiating endless light.

He quickly ran up to Chen Ping'an.

"Elder! You've come!"

He called out "Elder" with extreme smoothness.

Chen Ping'an was stunned for a moment.

He had met this steward twice before, and even sold him that storage ring last time, but the steward had never behaved like this before, let alone call him Elder.

So this shouldn't be related to a visual bug.

But even knowing this, Chen Ping'an still nodded.

In his words:

Whatever, if you call me Elder, I'll accept it. It's not like I'm losing out.

Hearing this response, the steward became even more certain, a flash of determination crossing his eyes.

He had been waiting here for only one purpose.

To wait for Chen Ping'an's arrival and apologize for what happened last time!

Bang bang!

He immediately knelt on the ground.

Then he kowtowed to Chen Ping'an three times.

Watching this scene, Chen Ping'an was bewildered.

?(′△｀)?

What... what just happened?!
