But these things can be seen, not touched, because they are in a different space.

Why does this situation occur?

When Li Banfeng and the Greenwater Beggar were fighting on Sui Chen Road in the Outside Provinces, he was also taken into the Dark Dimension Space, where he could only see darkness. But why does the scene look exactly the same here as it does outside?

Because this is a different Dark Dimension Space.

The Dark Dimension Space on Longmen Road is the home of Green Flower, while the one on Sui Chen Road is a temporary battle site chosen by Green Flower.

Li Banfeng fumbled around under the street lamp, couldn’t feel the pole, but seemed to touch a table.

Then went to fumble in front of the teahouse, couldn’t find the door, but seemed to touch a ceramic jar.

Green Flower’s house is really too strange, and Li Banfeng doesn’t know how to explore it.

From a visual standpoint, Li Banfeng feels like he is standing in the middle of the road; from a scent perspective, it seems he has stepped on Green Flower’s chamber pot.

Stumbling through like this isn’t a good approach, Green Flower is cunning and insidious, and it’s hard to say whether or not he will leave Li Banfeng any surprises.

Li Banfeng took out the projector, letting it record a round nearby, and then see what he can discover when returning to the Portable Residence.

While the projector was recording, Gloves shouted, "Boss, there’s treasure."

"Where’s the treasure?"

"I can’t say for certain, this place is disorienting, let me go check again."

...

He Jiaqing stood on the balcony of the private room, looking at the lamppost below.

The Greenwater Beggar he met by the roadside earlier has now disappeared in an instant, without a doubt, he’s returned to his own place.

Why did Li Banfeng let Green Flower go, clearly having used the Thousand Mile In A Step Technique, why didn’t it send the Greenwater Beggar to the most lethal place?

On second thought, He Jiaqing found something amiss.

When the Greenwater Beggar confronted Li Banfeng, he kept demanding the begging bowl from him.

At that time, Li Banfeng was ready to use the Thousand Mile In A Step Technique, while it seemed the Greenwater Beggar’s bowl was already lost.

But just now, when they met, the Greenwater Beggar still had a bowl in his hand, when did he retrieve it?

Was that person really the Greenwater Beggar?

The Greenwater Beggar is the last person He Jiaqing wanted to see, upon thinking it over, he didn’t dare take the risk, and decided not to appear on Longmen Road for the coming days.

At night, he felt the button on his chest tremble, it was He Haisheng sending a message, he had already arrived in Greenwater City.

He Jiaqing prepared wine at the meeting place to welcome his Third Uncle.

Looking at the feast, He Haisheng shook his head slightly and said, "Jia Qing, let’s just eat something simple, I want to return to Yuezhou overnight."

He Jiaqing asked, "What’s so urgent?"

He Haisheng sighed, "Han Mingqi has been captured by the Dark Star Bureau, Big Head was also detained. Although Zhu Junlong and the others relocated in time, Han Mingqi knows a lot. If he speaks, we’ll need additional responses."

He Jiaqing shook his head, "I’m worried about this too, so I think you shouldn’t return to Yuezhou, I’m afraid the people from the Dark Star Bureau will come looking for you."

He Haisheng smiled, "Don’t worry, I’ve stayed in the Outside Provinces for many years, it’s not that easy to find me. But there’s one thing, you must tell me honestly, is Green Flower really dead?"

He Jiaqing sighed, "I really can’t be sure now." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

He Haisheng’s face darkened, "You rascal, can’t be sure or just not telling me the truth?"

He Jiaqing forced a smile, "Uncle, don’t you trust even me? This concerns my life; how could I tell you a lie?"

He Haisheng looked a bit worried, "If you’re unsure, just stay away from Green Flower as much as possible. Everyone who has come into contact with him knows that the Greenwater Beggar holds grudges and takes revenge; unless he’s dead, the previous incident won’t just end."

The uncle and nephew had a few drinks, He Haisheng insisted on returning to Yuezhou, and He Jiaqing couldn’t stop him, so they parted ways.

After returning to the Film Industry Company, He Jiaqing waited in his office; past eleven at night, Zhang Gunli entered the room quietly.

"Have you got the stuff ready?" Zhang Gunli wasted no words, sat on a chair, and took out an abacus from his chest.

Borrow a life, what to repay with?

The simplest is to repay with life.

Zhang Gunli lent He Jiaqing a month of life, gave him twenty-seven days, counting the interest, and He Jiaqing had to return thirty-nine days of life.

This interest is rather outrageous, but Zhang Gunli has always had this rule, and they signed an IOU; it was all agreed upon, and there’s no room for sentiment.

"If you’re ready, I’ll collect the debt!" Zhang Gunli rubbed the walnuts in his hand twice, preparing to collect life from He Jiaqing.

He Jiaqing waved his hand, "Big Brother Zhang, don’t rush, I can’t give you my life."

Zhang Gunli frowned, "What’s that supposed to mean? Planning to renege?"

He Jiaqing smiled, "I can afford thirty-nine days of life, no need to renege, but I’m injured; returning life would hurt my vitality, and I’m afraid I can’t handle it. Can we use something else to offset the debt?"

Zhang Gunli rubbed the walnut, "What do you want to use to offset it?"

"Use Elixirs, elixirs can trade for cultivation level, cultivation level can be exchanged for time, saving time is as good as saving life; the rates match up."

Zhang Gunli laughed, "You’ve thought it through; indeed, you can use elixirs to substitute life, but our barter won’t be one-for-one. Life is more valuable than cultivation, different grades of elixirs have different conversions; if you’re using Gold Yuan Pill to exchange, it’s twenty-to-one."

Twenty-to-one means, to repay thirty-nine days of life, you need 780 days worth of elixirs, which translates to nearly eight Gold Yuan Pills.
