School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master-Chapter 1552 - 1638: Profiting from Others’ Misfortune
"Ziyun, listen to my explanation, Chen Nan is just a conman, it’s all an act, you must not be deceived by him."
Yunlong Heavenly Monarch’s expression was like he had eaten something foul. He had initially thought Chen Nan appearing just to annoy him was bad enough, but he hadn’t expected this guy to have a trick up his sleeve one after another, leaving him defenseless.
Purple Rhythm Heavenly Monarch poured a strand of divine power into Chen Nan’s body, without speaking.
Ancestor Zi Jie couldn’t help but speak up: "Yun Long, this isn’t right. You, as a dignified Heavenly Monarch of the Third Realm, why bother quarreling with Chen Nan."
At this time, the Illusion Destruction Sect Sect Master also arrived.
Seeing Chen Nan’s appearance, he couldn’t help but speak, "Yunlong Heavenly Monarch, I’ve received reports from several elders of the Law Enforcement Hall, saying you wanted to personally escort Chen Nan to the Holy Land to meet Purple Rhythm Heavenly Monarch. But how could you take him to the Fire Cloud Cave instead?"
"He not only brought Chen Nan into the Fire Cloud Cave, but also set a formation at the entrance to completely trap him. When Ancestor Zi Jie and I arrived, he had just released the formation."
Looking at Chen Nan’s condition, Purple Rhythm couldn’t help but feel a bit of compassion.
Chen Nan lay in the beauty’s embrace for a while, feeling the softness and fragrance. In the Ghost Venerable Palace, he truly didn’t have this sensation. Both of them were shivering from the cold back then, giving no thought to anything else.
After lying for a while, he felt thoroughly comfortable. He squinted his eyes and smugly glanced at Yunlong Heavenly Monarch, who now had a face resembling pig liver, having completely offended Chen Nan this time.
"Sect Master, Ancestor Zi Jie, I recently escaped from the Abyss Prison, barely making it out alive. I initially wanted to catch up with Purple Rhythm Heavenly Monarch and consult her on some matters. I didn’t provoke anyone, yet Yunlong Heavenly Monarch set me up..."
Speaking excitedly, he then covered the bloody mark on his chest, coughing a few times.
Yunlong Heavenly Monarch was infuriated, that blood mark was from when he had just spat blood, clearly he was the one most injured. Yet Chen Nan and his Fire Qilin had already conspired, causing him a major setback.
When Ancestor Zi Jie and Purple Cloud Heavenly Monarch arrived, they saw Yunlong Heavenly Monarch standing outside the Fire Cloud Cave, while Chen Nan was trapped inside being frantically attacked by the Fire Qilin.
Therefore, the two of them couldn’t help but side with Chen Nan at this moment.
Although Ancestor Zi Jie found it a bit odd, Yunlong Heavenly Monarch represented the Illusion Destruction Sect, and if Chen Nan harbors resentment over this matter, it’s unlikely to end well.
Thinking of this, Ancestor Zi Jie spoke, "Chen Nan, what Yun Long did is wrong. However, the Illusion Destruction Sect certainly will not shirk responsibility. How about this, you suggest a solution for this matter, make a request, and we will try to meet it."
Ancestor Zi Jie, seeing Chen Nan nestled in Purple Rhythm’s arms, secretly thought: isn’t this kid trying to take advantage of my granddaughter, though Chen Nan is actually quite good. Back in the Dragon Emperor’s Tomb, he tried to matchmake Chen Nan and Purple Rhythm.
Chen Nan had been holding back just waiting for Ancestor Zi Jie to speak. He coughed laboriously once more before saying, "I recall previously needing to send some Immortal Herbs and Spirit Pills to Yunlong Heavenly Monarch. He said there’s plenty in the cave. These days, in dealing with the Fire Qilin, all the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in my Storage Ring were used up, this loss..."
Chen Nan squinted his eyes and glanced at Ancestor Zi Jie and the Illusion Destruction Sect Sect Master.
"This loss is solely Yunlong Heavenly Monarch’s responsibility."
The sect master and Ancestor Zi Jie spoke in unison, internally extremely troubled, as Chen Nan obviously demanded a high price, and in a tough spot, Yunlong Heavenly Monarch had inexplicably gotten himself into.
Yunlong Heavenly Monarch wanted to speak, but seeing the looks from Purple Rhythm and Zi Jie, along with the helpless expression of the sect master, he could only swallow his rage.
"The Immortal Herbs I had before were... There are a few bottles of Spiritual Medicine, each over a hundred thousand years old..." Chen Nan began calculating his losses.
"Chen Nan, you are too excessive, you shameless person."
Yunlong Heavenly Monarch, while speaking, wanted to strike Chen Nan, who was blatantly taking advantage of the situation!
"Yun Long..."
Three voices almost simultaneously urged him to stop.
"Besides compensating for my losses, I want to propose another condition." Chen Nan chuckled.
Yunlong Heavenly Monarch’s face suddenly grew even more grim. He feared Chen Nan intended to use this opportunity to cultivate in the Holy Land. If so, living alongside Purple Rhythm Heavenly Monarch day by day, he would truly have no chance.
The Illusion Destruction Sect’s three strongest individuals and its highest-ranked member stood before Chen Nan, afraid to even breathe, eager to hear what he wanted to say.
"These days, I was severely bullied by that Fire Qilin. I want revenge."
Chen Nan gritted his silver teeth, huffing angrily, nearly causing Yunlong Heavenly Monarch to faint due to anger. This guy was shameless, clearly he had already teamed up with the Fire Qilin.
"Revenge?"
The Illusion Destruction Sect Sect Master didn’t know what to say.
He was at the Immortal Domain Peak, and felt no match for this Fire Qilin. Such top-level Immortal Beasts possessed ancient bloodlines; only by breaking through to the Heavenly Monarch Realm could one defeat them.
"Chen Nan, it was initially Yunlong Heavenly Monarch and I who together sealed and trapped this Fire Qilin here, wanting revenge might be difficult right now," Purple Rhythm kindly reminded Chen Nan.
She had never shared her matters with Chen Nan with anyone else but had a special affection for him deep down, unable to resist helping.
"Just help me release the seal, and I will properly teach that Fire Qilin a lesson. In the cave, I cannot exercise my abilities freely, but outside, I will beat him until he can’t find his teeth, do you believe me?" Chen Nan said angrily.
Only Yunlong Heavenly Monarch knew the truth and trusted his words.
While the other three felt Chen Nan was speaking nonsense, the Illusion Destruction Sect Sect Master couldn’t help but say, "Chen Nan, these top-level Immortal Beasts are extraordinary, Purple Rhythm Heavenly Monarch and Yunlong Heavenly Monarch spent centuries cultivating in the Holy Land to barely trap him."
Chen Nan gave Yunlong Heavenly Monarch a sidelong glance: "Aren’t you going to get the Immortal Herbs and Spiritual Medicine from the cave to make up for my losses, or do you want me to get them myself?"
Yunlong Heavenly Monarch sensed Chen Nan surely had some scheme.
Yet he couldn’t figure out Chen Nan’s intentions, and if Chen Nan really took the Fire Qilin away, it would benefit the Illusion Destruction Sect. Considering that the Fire Qilin was a dangerous entity, and its potential outbreak would threaten the entire sect.
Although wanting to stay guard, he worried Chen Nan would frame him, so after some thought, he went to get the Spiritual Medicine and Immortal Herbs.
Then Chen Nan told the Illusion Destruction Sect Sect Master, "Sect Master, are you doubting my strength? Despite the Fire Qilin’s might, outside he stands no chance against me. If you doubt, let’s make a bet; if you lose, I will propose another condition, how about that?"
"Bet it is."
Before Ancestor Zi Jie and Purple Rhythm Heavenly Monarch spoke, the sect master nodded, disbelieving Chen Nan, as dealing with a top-level Immortal Beast is no easy feat.
