Chapter 398: "Chen Yan Goes All In"

Gu Qingyi left; she departed that night without letting Chen Yan continue to escort her, and instead left directly from the parking lot.

Upon discovering the existence of that Beautiful Glow, she wouldn’t delay for even a second.

Chen Yan sat alone in the parking lot for a long time before he turned around, got in the car, started the engine, and slowly drove away.

He embarked on the journey back to Jinling Prefecture.

·

At night, the car arrived at Jinling Prefecture and returned to the villa complex.

After driving into his home garage, Chen Yan used the remote to close the garage door, and before getting out of the car, he glanced at the jade box placed on the passenger seat—the item entrusted by Lin Qingquan to Gu Qingyi to bring to him.

Once again, it’s the old lady’s intention.

Chen Yan sighed.

Actually, throughout the journey, he hadn’t stored away this item; instead, he had just left it on the passenger seat.

Deep down inside, he inexplicably had a hard-to-describe resistance towards this jade box.

Even Chen Yan himself couldn’t explain how this resistance came to be.

The old lady would never harm him—Chen Yan had not the slightest doubt about that.

But the old lady had concealed too many matters from him. And her reincarnation tribulation crossing, the old lady was clearly involved, possibly even conspiratorially.

Chen Yan doesn’t worry about other things; it’s just that he vaguely feels the old lady might have arranged a path for him that’s not what he wants.

Perhaps, they’re not on the same path?

Chen Yan thought for a moment, picked up the box, and weighed it in his hand.

It wasn’t heavy, and subtly, it had primordial Qi swirling around it, the material was certainly exquisite.

Holding the jade box, he walked back into the courtyard, and suddenly his heart stirred.

He leaped up, jumping into the courtyard next door—the villa originally belonging to Lin Qingquan, now owned by Chu Keqing.

Chen Yan went straight to a corner of the courtyard where there was a pine tree planted.

Squatting under the tree, Chen Yan took out a shovel and started digging into the ground.

Soon, he dug out a pit, gently placed the jade box inside, and covered it with soil.

Standing up, he took a couple of glances, then stomped a few times to make it visually indistinguishable from the surrounding soil, satisfied with the result.

The old lady’s gift, I will temporarily set it aside—Chen Yan sighed in his heart.

He had a premonition that what he wanted to do might be exactly what the old lady had always tried to prevent him from doing.

The old lady might not wish for him to undergo Realm Breakthrough as a Celestial.

Now that he’s found a hint regarding breaking through in this world, it’s best to stay away from the old lady’s arrangements.

That night, Chen Yan went into the cave dwelling in the back mountain, and upon entering, he saw the perpetually smiling Gui Geng approaching.

Chen Yan froze for a moment, then slapped his forehead.

Gu Qingyi left in such a hurry; once again, she forgot this old turtle!

·

Despite Gui Geng’s careful and ingratiating look, Chen Yan saw through his intentions at a glance. Sadly, this old turtle’s loyalty to Gu Qingyi was misguided...

"Well, Gui Geng, I have one good news and one bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"

Gui Geng froze, then tentatively grinned, "Whatever news young master says, this old man will obediently listen to you."

"The bad news is, your Miss Gu is gone, and she didn’t take you this time."

With a thud, the old turtle sat on the ground, staring blankly at Chen Yan, "How, how, how could this be..."

"She had urgent matters, left in such a hurry that she didn’t have time to take you. But don’t worry; after a few months, or maybe a year, she’ll surely return."

Gui Geng muttered something under his breath—not likely words of kindness.

Finally, he reacted and looked up at Chen Yan, "Then... what’s the good news?"

"The good news is, our master-servant fate can continue for a while longer. Isn’t that good news?"

"..."

Observing Gui Geng’s expression, one could tell the old turtle was internally cursing!

·

"From today onwards, you don’t have to stay in the cave anymore; go live in the former villa."

Chen Yan issued his first command.

The old turtle dared not refuse, nodding his head in compliance.

"After you return, everything remains the same; you’re the housekeeper, help me keep an eye on the house. By the way, let me inform you, the neighboring house is now part of our household, but nobody lives there. Normally, you can reside there. However, don’t touch any plants or greenery in the courtyard. Understood?"

"Alright."

The old turtle nodded, but in his heart, he thought: Who the hell cares about meddling with vegetation. Following you is unlucky... Whatever, I’ll just lie low from now on.

The first day of waiting for Miss Gu, thinking of her...

"Currently, Lu Sisi is no longer with us, but a new mistress has joined our household. You should listen to her just as you did for Lu Sisi. She’s also a cultivator; you should get along well with her."

The old turtle’s eyes shifted as he thought: The young master is indeed lecherous; it’s not been long since the previous mistress left, and there’s already a new one moving in.

Whatever, just continue serving the same as before.

"I’m going on a journey soon, not sure how long I’ll be away. You take good care of our house, close the door to guests, and make sure no thieves sneak in."

Once Chen Yan’s instructions were noted by the old turtle, Chen Yan could be at ease.

With a shape-shifting turtle demon in charge, no burglars would dare trouble the household.
