CHAPTER 49
Chen Zihan's Terms
Zhou Mei covered her face. Her tears flowed down uncontrollably. She felt extremely wronged in her heart. Previously, when Gu Xuan lectured her, it was only to the extent of ambiguity. But now, he had truly fallen out with her.
But what did he do wrong? Just because Gu Xuan became enemies with the Qin and Su families? But was that more important than her?
Gu Xuan couldn't be bothered to get entangled with Zhou Mei. If it wasn't for the fact that she was the daughter of the Mountain Suppressing Marquis and that the Mountain Suppressing Marquis had helped him a lot, he probably wouldn't have been able to restrain himself from killing her.
After returning home, Gu Xuan immediately went to look for Gu Tian Mo. As for his second grandfather, Gu Sen, he seemed to have a deep understanding of that Cultivation Method and had returned to his closed-door cultivation.
After Gu Xuan told Gu Tian Mo the details, Gu Tian Mo didn't show much. Instead, he asked Gu Xuan to keep a low profile.
Back then, Gu Xuan had killed three elders in a row. Now, he was only dealing with a Black Class Three Star Su Chen. Of course, he wouldn't feel that there was any problem. He was just afraid that Gu Xuan would expose his strength too much.
Gu Xuan felt somewhat helpless. Back then, what he had relied on was not his own strength at all. He had only relied on the Qi of Heaven and Earth that Yun Xi had mobilized. In reality, it could only be considered an external force.
The so-called external force didn't mean that it could only be used for a short period of time. Moreover, this force didn't increase with the increase of one's own strength. Only the stronger Yun Xi's origin force was, the more power she could unleash. Therefore, this was Yun Xi's power.
Now that Yun Xi's Origin power was exhausted and she was in a deep sleep, he couldn't use the power of a Sky warrior.
As for fighting with Su Chen, he could only rely on himself.
Gu Xuan then went to take a look at Gu Sen. He found that Gu Sen's cultivation speed was very fast, seemingly due to his ten-year foundation. Gu Xuan even felt that Gu Sen was unfathomable.
Gu Xuan pondered for a moment. When his second grandpa's comprehension deepened, he would help him explain the profoundness of this cultivation method.
However, this was also good. After a few months, the Gu Clan and the Su Clan would inevitably fight. The stronger his father and Second Grandpa were, the more advantageous it would be for him.
Done with these, Gu Xuan walked straight towards the Northstar Trading Company.
At this moment, the news of Gu Xuan challenging Su Chen and Willow Deity had spread throughout Zhenshan County. Everyone's attitude towards Gu Xuan was poles apart. Some people felt that Gu Xuan was very confident. After all, Gu Xuan had created too many miracles during this period of time.
There were also people who felt that Gu Xuan was playing to the gallery, using Willow Deity's reputation to elevate himself.
As for the majority of the people, they wanted to see Gu Xuan make a fool of himself. They thought that Gu Xuan was insufferably arrogant just because he had some fortuitous encounters. If he tried to challenge Willow Deity's talent, he would end up being slapped in the face.
However, Gu Xuan was not interested in these discussions. Only a mediocre person would not be envied by others. After a month, everything would become clear.
At this moment, the Polaris Trading Company was still bustling with activity. Gu Xuan had just entered the hall on the first floor when he heard Old Chen greet him. "You're here to look for my Young Miss, right? She said that if you come, you don't have to report to her. You can go directly to her."
"Alright." Gu Xuan nodded at Old Chen and headed straight for the highest floor of the trading company.
Many people looked at Gu Xuan with envy. It was already extremely difficult for people like them to see Chen Zihan. If they could talk to a beauty, it would be something worth bragging about for a month. On the other hand, Gu Xuan could see her often and even get special treatment.
Comparisons were odious indeed.
However, no one felt that it was unfair. In their hearts, although Gu Xuan was far from being comparable to Willow Deity, he was still stronger than them.
Gu Xuan went straight to the seventh floor. Just as he opened the door, he found that Chen Zihan had already dressed up and was waiting for him.
Seeing Gu Xuan come over, Chen Zihan smiled. "Little Brother, you actually dare to show your face in public after provoking Willow Deity and the Su Family. You really have some courage."
Gu Xuan helplessly spread out his hands. "What's the big deal? Willow Deity is just an ordinary person. Provoking him, is it a big deal?"
Chen Zihan looked at Gu Xuan with a sigh. Every time Gu Xuan displayed something, she felt like she couldn't keep up. A few months ago, when they met, Gu Xuan was still a four-star Spirit Stage martial artist. However, in a short period of time, not only had he reached the eight-star Spirit Stage, he had also become an existence that could defeat a Xuan Stage martial artist.
She originally thought that Gu Xuan would need at least two to three months to reach this step, but in just half a month, the news of Gu Xuan defeating a Xuan Stage martial artist spread. Furthermore, the person he defeated was the Young Patriarch of the Su Family. As for the matter of discussing geniuses with Willow Deity, she already knew about it, but she didn't think that Gu Xuan was arrogant. Although the things that Gu Xuan had displayed in this short period of time were inferior to Willow Deity, it was enough to be compared to Willow Deity.
"Little brother, you came to find me to borrow this ring, right?" Chen Zihan looked at Gu Xuan teasingly. She took off the "Ice Wolf" ring on her finger and placed it on the table.
"That's right." Gu Xuan didn't beat around the bush and straightforwardly nodded and admitted, "I do need the interspatial ring to do something very important. I need to borrow it for about a day."
Chen Zihan used her slender jade-like fingers to stroke the ring, "I've told you before that this ring belongs to the Beichen Merchant Union, and only members of the Beichen Merchant Union can use it. Even if I'm the Sub-Union Leader, I don't have the qualifications to lend it to others. Otherwise, the Board of Elders won't let me off."
Gu Xuan frowned, but didn't say anything. He believed that a smart person like Chen Zihan, especially in a situation where she wanted to have a good relationship with him, would definitely not deliberately tease him.
"However, if little brother is a member of the Beichen Trading Company, then lending the interspatial ring to a member of the trading company for temporary use isn't something that violates the rules." Chen Zihan narrowed her eyes and looked at Gu Xuan with a smile.
Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised, "You mean to let me become a member of the Beichen Merchant Union? You have to know that I'm still the Young Patriarch of the Gu Family. It's not very possible for me to join the Beichen Trading Company, right? "
"I don't want little brother to join the trading company." The smile on Chen Zihan's face deepened, and she tapped her finger on the table, "I want you to become a Guest Elder of the Beichen Trading Company."
"Guest Elder?" Gu Xuan's shock was no small matter. He really didn't expect Chen Zihan to propose such a condition.
The Beichen Trading Company was the second most powerful existence among the Five Great Factions. In terms of influence, it was undoubtedly the first. After all, the Beichen Trading Company's Sub-Union Leader, Nangong Chen, was an existence that could destroy the Great Desolate Dynasty with a flick of his finger.
The condition of becoming a member of the Beichen Trading Company was enough to make many cultivators scramble like a flock of ducks. As for the Beichen Trading Company's Guest Elder, only a few late-stage Profound Rank cultivators had the qualifications, and he was only an Eight Star Spirit Rank cultivator.
Moreover, although the Beichen Trading Company's branch didn't have a Guest Elder, there were some senior figures of similar status. Among these senior figures, the youngest was in his seventies or eighties, and he was only a fifteen-year-old kid. This was undoubtedly a very comical situation.
He had once thought that Chen Zihan might extend an olive branch to him, but he didn't expect the conditions to be so generous. His status could go from being the heir of a second-rate family in a county city to one of the upper echelons of the Beichen Trading Company, and he would have the same status as the Mountain Suppressing Marquis.
"Are you sure you're not joking?" Gu Xuan asked after a moment of shock.
