Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up

"Go away, I don't want to talk to you here any longer."

Zhao Yi waved his hand to let the prisoner leave. The prisoner hesitated and swallowed the words he was about to say. He cupped his fist in a salute to Zhao Yi before hastily departing.

Watching the other person leave, feeling unsatisfied with the Nine Dragon Jade Seal, Zhao Yi knew it was pointless to regret now that the person had already left.

Seeing the person departing into the distance, Zhao Yi did not linger any longer, turning into a golden light and speeding along to meet Bai Yigui.

Bai Yigui was in the courtyard sipping tea and smoking, and when he saw a streak of golden light dart across the sky, he looked surprised.

The surprise quickly turned into joy as the golden light descended from the sky, landing directly in front of him, and Zhao Yi stood there unharmed before Bai Yigui.

Bai Yigui circled Zhao Yi once and patted his shoulder, saying, "

"I regretted telling you about this matter after you left last time. Considering you're such a fine young man, it didn't seem worth having you die in the origin because of my words.

But you really came back. So, how did it go? Did you catch any fish?"

Bai Yigui's eyes sparkled, his tone somewhat excited, for he had seen many things but never the legendary magical fish.

Zhao Yi deliberately joked with him, sitting in the chair silently, without sighs or expressions.

This made Bai Yigui's heart uneasy, and he cautiously asked, "

"Did you not catch any? Or did you catch one and it got away or was stolen by someone else? If that's the case, you might have to let it go."

Just as Bai Yigui finished speaking, Zhao Yi burst into laughter, then gently waved his arm, and a box landed on the table.

Inside the box, a fish swam slowly. Upon seeing the fish, the old fellow first gaped, then laughed heartily.

After laughing for a while, he suddenly became serious and turned to pat Zhao Yi.

"Good fellow, you actually joked with me. But I'm in a good mood, so I won't fuss with you. Can you tell me about the Power of Laws this fish possesses?

How did you catch it? Hurry and tell me."

Bai Yigui asked a dozen questions in one breath, making Zhao Yi a bit headachey.

"Old sir, can you let me eat something and drink some tea first? You don't know what I've been eating and drinking in the origin these days.

The experience was simply harrowing, and I don't want to recall it."

Fearing that Zhao Yi wouldn't say anything, Bai Yigui had a disciple bring plenty of delicious food. Zhao Yi ate through three tables of dishes before stopping.

After drinking some tea, he recounted the whole story from the origin comprehensively. Listening to the causes and effects, Bai Yigui didn't speak for a long time.

"I never thought you would go through so many dangers. It was truly nine deaths and one life, but I think there might be something you're not aware of.

If the Power of the Five Elements is concentrated into a god sword, it will become indestructible, theoretically speaking.

At its peak power, it can chop down the Divine Tree."

Bai Yigui's words directly shocked Zhao Yi; he certainly hadn't heard anyone say this before, and for a moment, he thought Bai Yigui was joking with him.

So he didn't speak for a while, and the Nine Dragon Jade Seal couldn't help but ask.

"Old sir, you're not joking with our patriarch, right? The Divine Tree is unbeatable; it's even more powerful than our patriarch.

If it really can be chopped down, then this time we truly hit the jackpot."

"Listen to your words. I'm too old to be joking with you all, but forging such a god sword requires some special materials.

You all need to take another trip; for one, you need to go to the Water World to fetch three tons of water for me."

As Bai Yigui spoke, he was writing down the other needed items on a piece of paper for Zhao Yi. The Nine Dragon Jade Seal was somewhat displeased.

"You've taken so much money from us, can't you prepare in advance? Instead, you wait for our patriarch to come back and then have him run around.

This is a bit too much."

"You little brat, what do you know? You think I'm being idle. Let me tell you, the reason I need so much Gold isn't to retaliate against you but because forging the god sword requires an Advanced Melting Furnace.

The Gold is for casting the furnace; didn't I tell you before, you've completely forgotten."

Bai Yigui spoke and kept tapping his cigarette holder on the table, and upon hearing this, the Nine Dragon Jade Seal hastily apologized.

"I'll act immediately; I promise to gather these materials within three days. For now, I'll leave the fish with you."

After Zhao Yi said this, Bai Yigui shook his head cleanly and pushed the item back.

"You should hold onto it; that fellow is someone I can't provoke, much less the Divine Tree. If they come to steal it, what would I do?

Should I passively hand it over or defend it to the death? Besides, this old body of mine can't stop them, and if it's stolen, I can't account for it."

As Bai Yigui spoke, he looked fondly at the colorful magical fish, and Zhao Yi nodded after hearing this, quickly putting away the cloud.

Then he bid farewell to Bai Yigui and returned to the New World.

After learning that Zhao Yi had returned, Linglong dropped everything at hand to meet Zhao Yi.

"It's been a few days, and I didn't expect you to look so haggard."

"Don't mention it; you've also become much more haggard in these few days. I have nothing serious; I returned to arrange some things."

Zhao Yi didn't want to discuss business immediately upon returning, so he invited Linglong to drink tea in the garden.

Despite Zhao Yi's arrangements, Linglong couldn't resist reporting the work to him, and she spoke for nearly an hour.

Only then did she finish the report, leaving Zhao Yi somewhat headachey.

"Listening to your report, I feel a bit dizzy and tired; I don't know how you've managed so much in the past days.

It's really tough, but as always, others need to be promoted quickly to help you bear the workload."

"Rest assured, I've already promoted a batch, but currently their experience is minimal, so they can only assist in some auxiliary tasks.

In another year or half a year, there should be no problem. How was your gain this time?"

Linglong seemed somewhat tense when speaking this, after all, if Zhao Yi had made a wasted trip.

It would mean a lot of effort and money were spent for nothing, and Zhao Yi briefly recounted the events in the origin.

"I'll go into detail with you later; for now, let's arrange these materials, and I'll personally handle a few of them, so you don't need to worry about those."
