As he spoke, Nie Xing glanced at Gong Liangbu.

"At least you got to go with the boss to the Luo Family’s place. I was pretty bored just sitting around here by myself," Nie Xing remarked to him.

"Haha, you can be jealous all you want."

Gong Liangbu said with a grin.

"Look at how happy that makes you."

Nie Xing shot Gong Liangbu an exasperated glare.

In the living room, Chen Qingdi was seated on the sofa, with Chen Yuan standing by his side.

"I haven’t seen you in a while. I didn’t expect your realm to have improved."

"You’ve actually reached the third level of Guiyuan."

Chen Qingdi said with a smile.

"It’s all thanks to your excellent guidance, Master."

"Without you, I never would have made this much progress."

Chen Yuan said with a smile.

"But this alone is not enough."

"I expect you to reach the fifth level of Guiyuan within half a year."

Chen Qingdi said.

"That won’t be so easy."

"Master, are you planning any operations soon?"

Chen Yuan looked at Chen Qingdi.

"Mm, I’m preparing a trip to Celestial River Valley. I don’t know if you’ve heard of it."

Chen Qingdi looked at Chen Yuan.

"I’ve been in Jingxi for over half a year. Of course I know about Celestial River Valley."

"It’s a Spiritual Communication Land, full of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Lingzhi, and even a Grandmaster’s Treasure."

"If I ever got the chance, I’d love to go."

Chen Yuan said.

"In a little while, I plan to take some people to Celestial River Valley to hunt for treasure."

"It will also be a form of training for you all."

Chen Qingdi said.

"Alright."

Chen Yuan nodded.

"So, what was it you came to see me about?"

Chen Qingdi looked toward Chen Yuan.

He knew Chen Yuan must have come to him for an important reason.

But he had been here for the better part of the day, and Chen Yuan still hadn’t said anything.

Mainly because Chen Qingdi had been doing all the talking.

"I’ve found some information about the Evil God Hall."

Chen Yuan said.

Hearing this, Chen Qingdi immediately perked up.

"So there really is a branch of the Evil God Hall in Jingxi?"

Chen Qingdi looked at Chen Yuan.

"Yes."

"I just don’t know where it is."

"My investigation shows that the Yun Family and the Wen Family in Jingxi might be connected to the Evil God Hall."

Chen Yuan said.

"The Yun Family and the Wen Family."

"You mean the Gao Wu Clans, the Yun and Wen Families?"

Chen Qingdi asked.

"Yes."

Chen Yuan nodded.

"Are they working for the Evil God Hall?"

Chen Qingdi asked.

"The specifics aren’t clear yet."

"For now, all I’ve found is that these two families have a connection to the Evil God Hall."

"The exact nature of that relationship, or whether they’ve had direct contact with the Evil God Hall, is still unknown."

"Actually, several decades ago, the Yun and Wen Families weren’t considered powerful Gao Wu Clans in Jingxi. Then they suddenly grew much stronger."

Chen Yuan said.

Hearing this, Chen Qingdi frowned slightly.

’It seems the sudden rise of these two families might be related to support from the Evil God Hall.’

’The Evil God Hall could be hiding within one of these two families right now.’

’But finding them will be a very difficult task.’

However, Chen Qingdi felt there was no need to be too hasty about this.

’One step at a time.’

’The truth will come out eventually.’

"What are our next steps? We need you to lay out the plan, Master."

Chen Yuan looked to Chen Qingdi.

"First step, naturally, is to get close to these two families."

"We need to uncover what their relationship with the Evil God Hall truly is."

"Another point is to continue investigating the Evil God Hall more deeply."

"We must find their branch here."

"No matter where they’re hiding, we have to dig them out."

"We can’t let them get away."

Chen Qingdi said with a serious expression.

"Understood."

"Coincidentally, the Yun Family is holding an event soon."

"I think we can use this event to pay the Yun Family a visit."

"We might make some new discoveries."

Chen Yuan said.

"An event?"

"What kind of event?"

Chen Qingdi asked, his curiosity piqued.

"The Yun Family may seem like a Gao Wu Clan, but they’re also in business."

"They have quite a few companies under their name."

"They’re holding a family business conference soon."

"They’ll be inviting influential figures from all over Jingxi."

"Perhaps we could go take a look."

Chen Yuan said.

"That does sound like a good opportunity. Maybe we should go check it out."

"We might find something unexpected."

Chen Qingdi said.

"Yes."

"Then I’ll start making preparations right away."

"I’ll find out more about which families will be attending and the main purpose of the event."

Chen Yuan said.

"Good."

Chen Qingdi waved a hand at Chen Yuan, who quickly departed.

Nie Xing and Gong Liangbu were sitting in the courtyard when they saw Chen Yuan striding out.

"Brother Chen Yuan, are you done talking with the boss?"

Nie Xing looked at Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan nodded with a smile.

"Leaving already?"

Gong Liangbu asked, looking at Chen Yuan.

"Mm."

"I’ll leave you two to your chat."

Chen Yuan said with a smile.

After speaking, he strode toward the exit.

He quickly vanished from their sight.

Seeing Chen Yuan leave, Gong Liangbu and Nie Xing quickly stood up as well.

"Should we go see the boss?"

Nie Xing looked at Gong Liangbu.

"You want to ask what the boss and Chen Yuan talked about."

"I’d advise you to just forget it."

"If the boss wants to tell us, he will. If he doesn’t, it’s useless to ask."

Gong Liangbu said.

Nie Xing had wanted to go ask, but after hearing what Gong Liangbu said, he gave up the idea.

"If only we were as strong as Chen Yuan."

Nie Xing said.

Just as the two were talking, Chen Qingdi walked out from inside.

"Has there been any big news in Jingxi lately?"

Chen Qingdi looked at the two of them.

At first, they both shook their heads.

Then, suddenly, Gong Liangbu thought of something.

"I just remembered something I wanted to tell you, boss."

Gong Liangbu looked at Chen Qingdi.

"If you have something to say, just say it."

Chen Qingdi said.

"The young master of the Zheng Family has come down with a strange illness. I heard they’ve hired every doctor in Jingxi, but no one has been able to cure him."

"They’ve now posted a public notice seeking a cure, saying that whoever can heal their young master will be given one of the Zheng Family’s companies."

"The Zheng Family is a first-rate family in Jingxi, so even an ordinary one of their companies would have a considerable market value."

"It would be worth at least a billion or so. And not only that, the Zheng Family will also give away one of their family’s ultimate treasures."

Gong Liangbu said.

"An ultimate treasure?"

"What kind of treasure?"

Chen Qingdi asked, his face full of curiosity.

"The Zheng Family didn’t say what it is specifically."

Nie Xing said with a smile; he truly didn’t know what the ultimate treasure was, but he was very curious as well.
