Chen Chang'an had more doubts in his heart than anyone else.
After following Li Yuntian and the others to the Li Family, Li Yuntian wanted to arrange accommodations for Chen Chang'an.
"Is this the helper the Ancestor invited back?"
"This… no matter how you look at it, he doesn’t seem like a strong expert."
"Exactly, he’s not even as powerful as that girl beside him. Oh, and that dog—even the dog is stronger than him."
"Could the Ancestor have lost his mind? How could he possibly believe this man can save our Li Family?"
"Shut up! How dare you question the Ancestor? Who is the Ancestor doing this for if not you women? If you end up as cauldrons for the Blazing Heaven Immortal Sect, will you be happy then?"
"Why are you yelling at me? I was just saying. It’s not that I don’t believe in the Ancestor—I just don’t trust that Chen Chang'an."
"Enough! What’s the point of your disbelief? Listen, if you don’t want to be punished with seclusion, behave yourselves. No one is allowed to provoke Chen Chang'an."
"Understood?"
"Understood."
The Li Family members were well aware of their current predicament—they had no other options. The fact that someone was willing to help at all was already something to be grateful for.
The Blazing Heaven Immortal Sect might not yet have the qualifications to dominate the Profound Heaven Domain, but among the sects in the region, they ranked within the top five.
Ordinary people wouldn’t dare offend such a force for the sake of the Li Family. Right now, the Li Family stood alone, without any allies.
"Senior, none of these?"
Li Yuntian had brought everything from the Li Family that was remotely valuable and laid it before Chen Chang'an.
After looking through them, Chen Chang'an found nothing he needed.
"None of them." Chen Chang'an shook his head in disappointment.
Seeing Chen Chang'an’s disappointment, Li Yuntian was the most distressed. If they couldn’t move Chen Chang'an, what would become of the Li Family?
Right now, Chen Chang'an was the only lifeline Li Yuntian could grasp.
"It’s alright, our Li Family still has more."
"I… I’ll bring everything we have. Take your time and see if anything catches your interest."
Seeing Li Yuntian’s persistence, Chen Chang'an merely nodded. The possibility of the item being in the Li Family was just a guess.
Whether it could be found or not, Chen Chang'an was prepared to accept either outcome.
"By the way, where did Da Huang go?"
"Did you notice?" Chen Chang'an asked.
"This… I didn’t pay attention."
Li Yuntian had no mind to spare for Da Huang’s whereabouts—his thoughts were entirely consumed by how to win Chen Chang'an over.
"Fine, go attend to your matters."
After Li Yuntian left, Chen Chang'an rubbed his forehead helplessly. That damned Da Huang must have run off to a brothel again.
Him going to a brothel wasn’t surprising, but how could that bastard take Xiao Yao along?
And even if he did… did they even have money?
"Ancestor! Ancestor!"
"This Chen Chang'an is absolutely shameless!"
"He… he actually went to the brothel owned by the Qin Family and refused to pay!"
"Now the Qin Family has dragged him back. This… this is beyond humiliating."
Huh?
Chen Chang'an?
A brothel?
"Nonsense! Chen Chang'an never left the Li Family. How could he have gone to a brothel? I just came from his place." Li Yuntian said coldly.
Huh?
Never left?
Then who was the Chen Chang'an outside?
"Ancestor, I’m telling the truth! If you don’t believe me, come and see for yourself!"
"The Qin Family still has him in custody!"
Now even Li Yuntian was stunned. What in the world was going on?
"Fine, take me there."
Li Yuntian followed his clansmen outside and saw Da Huang being held by the scruff of his neck by the Qin Family members, with a nervous-looking Chen Chang'an standing beside him.
Was that really Chen Chang'an?
Da Huang couldn’t be mistaken, but this Chen Chang'an felt… off. Was he the same person Li Yuntian had just met?
"The Li Family sure has some nerve!"
"Aren’t they your guests?"
"Daring to visit our Qin Family’s brothel without paying?"
"Do you think the Qin Family is a joke?"
The Qin Family and the Li Family were of similar strength, and in the past, the Qin Family wouldn’t have been so aggressive. But now, with the Li Family having offended the Blazing Heaven Immortal Sect, the Qin Family saw no reason to be polite.
A dying grasshopper wouldn’t last much longer.
"How much did they spend at your place?"
"I’ll pay."
Chen Chang'an had been planning to look for Da Huang and Xiao Yao anyway. Sensing their presence, he walked over directly.
When Chen Chang'an appeared, everyone was stunned.
What was going on?
Two Chen Chang'ans?
Chen Chang'an gave Xiao Yao a resigned look before glaring furiously at Da Huang. Without even asking, he knew this was Da Huang’s terrible idea.
Making Xiao Yao disguise herself as him to visit a brothel?
You’ve ruined my reputation!
"Xiao Yao, change back now."
Xiao Yao?
Only then did the Li Family members realize—the girl beside Chen Chang'an had disguised herself as him!
After reverting to her original appearance, Xiao Yao nervously looked at Chen Chang'an and said, "Da Huang made me do it."
"Xiao Yao, how could you betray me like this?"
"We were supposed to enjoy it together, and now you’re pushing all the blame onto me?" Da Huang said indignantly.
"I didn’t enjoy it!"
"I didn’t dare move at all. Those women… they kept touching me. It wasn’t fun at all." Xiao Yao muttered gloomily.
Chen Chang'an shook his head helplessly before turning to the Qin Family members.
"My apologies for failing to discipline them properly. How much did they spend at your place?"
How much?
The Qin Family member scoffed at Chen Chang'an—a mere first-level True Immortal trying to act important?
"Ten thousand. High-grade immortal spirit stones."
Huh?
Ten thousand high-grade immortal spirit stones?
Chen Chang'an wasn’t entirely familiar with the spending standards in the Ancient Immortal Domain, having not been here for long.
But judging by the expressions of the Li Family members, the Qin Family was clearly extorting them.
"Qin Shou, you’ve got some nerve!"
"Ten thousand high-grade immortal spirit stones? Is your brothel even worth that much?"
"Would your Qin Family’s entire business make ten thousand high-grade immortal spirit stones in ten years?"
"Do you take us for fools?" the Li Family members roared in anger.
Ten years’ worth of earnings couldn’t even amount to ten thousand high-grade immortal spirit stones? The Qin Family was clearly trying to scam them.
Chen Chang'an smirked coldly before looking at Qin Shou.
"Are you sure you really want ten thousand high-grade immortal spirit stones?"
"Kid, do you even have ten thousand high-grade immortal spirit stones?"
"If you can’t afford it, scram!"
"You might not have it, but the Li Family does."
"Right?"
"Your Li Family won’t last much longer anyway. What’s the point of hoarding wealth?"
"Might as well let our Qin Family benefit, right?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
