Love Gambit: The Untouchable Tycoon is So Dangerous

"Is he leaving?"

In a tranquil secret chamber, Fu Qinglan slowly opened her eyes.

Fu Chaosheng, who had just entered, nodded his head.

Fu Qinglan pursed her lips and asked softly, "Is he going to find his Dao Companion Cultivator?"

Fu Chaosheng sighed, "Indeed so. Previously, I only thought he was a rogue cultivator from the North Sea, with spiritual pet attendants also hailing from there. Yet, unexpectedly, he is actually from the Eastern Wasteland."

"Eastern Wasteland... Huang Independent Cultivator..."

Fu Qinglan muttered Luo Chen’s chosen Dao name and couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

From the very beginning, Luo Chen had revealed his origins.

Thinking of him personally telling grandfather that he already had a Dao Companion, Fu Qinglan could only sigh in relief at the correctness of her earlier decision.

Not to mention whether Luo Chen was willing to marry into the Fu family, just the fact that he already had a wife and concubines meant she would not serve the same husband with others.

"When does he leave?"

Fu Chaosheng said, "He has already reported to Elder Qideng of the Star Gate and has currently left Heaven and Earth Peak. However, before leaving Zhongzhou, he will first return to the Wangwu Mountain Range. There, he’ll gather his spiritual pet attendants and transfer the considerable cultivation resources I previously prepared for him."

After hearing this, Fu Qinglan remarked with a sigh, "He is still so thorough in his considerations..."

Then, she fell into a prolonged silence.

Fu Chaosheng said no more, but whenever he glanced at his granddaughter, there was a sense of unfamiliar estrangement.

Since the other party emerged from the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, much had changed.

Not only in terms of cultivation realm, but also in personality.

She had matured a great deal.

Especially after visiting Zuowang Peak, this change grew even more pronounced.

Of course, in Fu Chaosheng’s eyes, this change was good; he could not guard his granddaughter forever as his lifespan dwindled. If Qinglan could take on responsibilities early, it would be ideal.

Suddenly.

An ancient, yellowed beast skin booklet appeared in the woman’s hand.

"Gift this book to him!"

Fu Chaosheng frowned, "Why the need for more gifts? Although he gave up fifty years of his lifespan, the benefits he received from us were already plentiful. Especially last time, at your behest, I sent him the Array Book and Sword Scripture."

As he spoke, his gaze fell upon the beast skin booklet, and his expression suddenly froze.

"’Tongyou Collection’? Isn’t this your favorite set of Chess Scripture?"

Fu Qinglan caressed the yellowed pages, so soft and pliant from the tanning of an unknown demon beast’s hide, her eyes held a hint of reluctance.

But recalling Luo Chen’s clumsy manner of playing chess with him back then, she couldn’t help but smile wryly.

"Just a set of Chess Scripture, easily obtainable in Zhongzhou, and trivial to me now. Present it to him, as a farewell gift, hoping when we meet again, his chess skills wouldn’t be so poor."

With that, she gently swept her hand.

The "Tongyou Collection" floated in front of Fu Chaosheng.

This time, Fu Chaosheng said nothing more, understanding it was simply an ordinary set of Chess Scriptures, which were not in short supply in Zhongzhou.

"Tongyou Collection" may be a little special, having come from the Upper Realm, but nothing more.

After all, it remained a book unrelated to Dao Cultivation.

"I will have someone use the Teleportation Formation to take it back to the Clan and give it to Luo Chen. As for you, have arrangements been made with the Sect Master and the old patriarchs?"

Fu Qinglan smiled brightly, "Grandfather need not worry about me. Now that I’ve entered Zuowang Peak, reaching the Great Dao Path is within sight. Once those few enter the Cave Heaven, the Sect will begin ranking and rewarding."

"Then that ought to be swift."

Fu Chaosheng stroked his beard, filled with high expectations for that day.

And indeed, that day arrived quickly.

About half a year later, two figures manifested simultaneously in the grand hall of Heaven and Earth Peak.

A man and a woman; the man being True Master Longyuan and the woman the true disciple, Ming Yan.

And the result was somewhat unexpected.

True Master Longyuan, who received considerable anticipation, failed to comprehend the Origin Power; instead, it was Ming Yan from the master-disciple lineage who gained remarkably!

At the time, Ming Yan stated that True Master Longyuan suffered a sword attack from Luo Chen at the Triple Rainbow Falls, leading to injuries and subsequent difficulty in attaining sudden enlightenment.

But in the eyes of the perceptive representatives of Noble Families and Great Clans, it was evident True Master Longyuan became a stepping stone for the master-disciple lineage.

Now, with one from the master-disciple lineage grasping the Origin Power, revival was hopeful.

The rise of the Han Gate Liu Family, from which True Master Longyuan hailed, had been interrupted.

Even if they were to advance to a Noble Family later, they would only be the most ordinary kind, and maintaining their prestige over a millennium seemed uncertain.

After them, Gu Yuan also emerged.

The result was equally surprising.

Gu Yuan did not grasp the Origin Power!

One must know, according to the true disciples who exited earlier, Gu Yuan encountered no obstacles, with his Protector, Gu Chen, guarding him all the way.

Despite such smooth circumstances, it was inferior to Fu Qinglan, Gu Daosu, and Ming Yan?

Further surprising was that under these conditions, the typically strict Old Clan Chief of the Gu Family did not reprimand Gu Yuan, but praised him instead.

Such incongruous affairs left everyone scratching their heads.

Yet the mystery did not last long.

Because the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven began closing.

Under Heaven and Earth Peak, the mists over Zhe River started retracting en masse, swallowed by the vast maw.

Everyone collectively exited the grand hall, gazing at the cave heaven entrance.

One individual had yet to emerge!

Just as the cave heaven was about to completely close, a golden sun slowly emerged from the entrance.

It was Shi Ju!

Ignoring the congratulations of the crowd, Shi Ju’s eyes, sharp as torches, scanned the surroundings but did not find the person he longed to see.
