The inner hall of Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce.

In a luxuriously decorated room.

Hu Tianqing was lying on the bed, breathing weakly.

While Ye Qingchen was inspecting Hu Tianqing's injuries, he listened to Ye Xiong describe in detail what happened in the past few days.

It turned out that a few days ago, Hu Tianqing heard that someone had discovered a secret cache near Yunjiang City. He had a premonition that there might be business opportunities in it, so he took people to explore it.

However, when they got there, they found that people from Qingyun College were also there!

In order not to conflict with them, Hu Tianqing had been avoiding them as much as possible.

But even so, after they saw that Hu Tianqing had obtained a treasure, they attacked Hu Tianqing and his party without any reason.

Hu Tianqing was seriously injured in order to cover the escape of others, and he used all his life-saving treasures to escape from their hands.

Ye Xiong heard this from the people who were traveling with Hu Tianqing.

Ye Qingchen sneered: "The people in Qingyun College are all the same!"

Whether it was Xi Haoyue who planned to slander him or Li Huan who wanted to kill him, they were both despicable people.

These people who attacked Hu Tianqing are all the same!

Ye Xiong sighed: "The only good thing now is that although Manager Hu was seriously injured, his life source was not damaged, and he may wake up at any time."

Ye Qingchen nodded.

This is also the conclusion he came to after examining the injury just now.

At this time, a subtle voice suddenly sounded.

"Ye Qingchen...is that you..."

Ye Qingchen's body trembled and his eyes quickly shifted to Hu Tianqing.

At this moment, Hu Tianqing had opened his eyes and looked at him, with a forced smile on his face.

"Guanshi Hu, you need to take a good rest for a while."

Ye Qingchen said softly: "I know everything. Don't worry, I will definitely go to Qingyun College to settle the general ledger and collect debts for you!"

Sensing the murderous aura in Ye Qingchen, Hu Tianqing smiled and said:

"It seems that my original decision... was indeed correct... cough, cough, cough!"

After a violent cough, Hu Tianqing suddenly took out a Qiankun Ring from his arms and handed it to Ye Qingchen.

"Guanshi Hu, what are you...?"

"This is the treasure I brought out from that secret cache. In my current situation, I can't use it at all, so it's up to you to accept it."

Hu Tianqing forced a smile and said: "I think it will definitely play a greater role in your hands."

Ye Qingchen took the Qiankun Ring with a solemn expression, and injected his true energy into the Qiankun Ring.

As the Qiankun Ring flashed with light.

A stone with a faint silver light appeared in his hand.

There is a more conspicuous sword shadow mark on the stone.

"This is...the Enlightenment Stone? The great enlightenment retained in it is actually related to the way of swordsmanship?!"

Ye Qingchen looked surprised.

He once learned from the memory fragments left by that man that there is a strange stone in the world that can incorporate his lifelong understanding of his own path into it to form an "Enlightenment Stone".

And the stone in his hand is the "Enlightenment Stone"!

What’s more, what remains inside is a lifelong insight into the way of the sword by a strong swordsman!

If he can absorb the swordsmanship insights in it, maybe he can comprehend the third sword of [Yu Cang Tian Sword Sutra] today!

"Guanshi Hu, this treasure is too valuable, I..."

Before Ye Qingchen finished speaking, Hu Tianqing smiled and said:

"Okay, I asked you to keep it, just keep it, and consider it as a reward for your revenge for me in the future." Seeing Hu Tianqing's insistence, Ye Qingchen said nothing more and kept the Enlightenment Stone.

Within his own Qiankun Ring.

Then he asked: "Who from Qingyun College attacked you?"

When this matter was mentioned, a sinister look finally appeared on Hu Tianqing's face.

"That man claimed to be the fifth elder from the outer courtyard of Qingyun College, and his name was Qi Xiaotian."

"Qi Xiaotian? It turns out it's him. He's at the fifth level of the Star Gathering Realm, but he's not as good as the black evil among the black and white evils."

Ye Qingchen snorted in his heart, and then listened to Hu Tianqing's next story.

What Hu Tianqing said after that was basically the same as what Ye Xiong said.

"I understand, don't worry, I will definitely pick off Qi Xiaotian's head to see you!"

Ye Qingchen said softly: "What you have to do now is to recover from your injuries, and then stay in the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce and don't go anywhere."

Hu Tianqing smiled slightly and nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

"By the way, since you are back, you should absorb the great enlightenment in this Enlightenment Stone as soon as possible. You can use the secret room of my Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce as you wish."

Ye Qingchen nodded: "Thank you very much."

Then he and Ye Xiong left the room and stopped disturbing Hu Tianqing.

"Chen'er, are you leaving again in a few days?"

Ye Xiong's old eyes showed reluctance.

Hearing this, Ye Qingchen suddenly fell silent.

"Oh, it doesn't matter. Since you have grown into an eagle, you are destined to soar in the nine heavens."

Ye Xiong sighed slightly and suddenly laughed happily.

"I am too old to be able to keep you by my side forever."

Looking at Ye Xiong's kind and gentle eyes, Ye Qingchen's nose felt slightly sour.

He solemnly said: "Uncle Xiong, don't worry, after I complete my revenge, I will go find my parents."

"After I find them, I will take them back here and live with you."

Hearing this, Ye Xiong smiled happily and said, "Okay, okay! You are indeed a filial child."

The reason why Ye Qingchen did not feel resentful towards his parents who abandoned him was precisely because Ye Xiong often taught him to understand his parents' painstaking efforts.

"Then you go and practice, I won't disturb you."

Ye Xiong patted his shoulder, and his rickety figure slowly walked out of the inner hall.

Ye Qingchen looked at his back and tightened his hand on the Enlightenment Stone unconsciously.

"Qingyun College, Xi Haoyue... just wait!"

"The day you will perish will not be too far away!"

————————

Fifteen days later.

Inner courtyard of Xuanyu Academy.

Today is the day of the "Xuanyu Ranking Competition".

Whenever the "Xuan Yu Ranking Tournament" is held, it is the most restless time in the inner courtyard.

Whether you can improve your ranking and get more resources depends on today!

In the center of the inner courtyard, there is a vast competition stage.

The hundred disciples on the ranking list all stood on the competition stage, holding their heads high to meet the awed gazes of the other disciples.

In their center, there were eight disciples standing.

On their chests, each has his own nameplate hanging.

All the disciples in the inner courtyard know that they are all direct disciples of the ten elders in the inner courtyard!

But what puzzles them is where did Ye Qingchen, who injured Liu Juefeng some time ago, go?

Why hasn't it appeared yet?

"Why hasn't that guy Ye Qingchen come yet? Could it be that he's scared? He doesn't dare to come out?"

"It is very possible. It is said that the fifth-ranked senior brother Mengba has a close relationship with senior brother Liu. It is very likely that he will vent his anger on senior brother Liu in the ranking match and take the initiative to trouble that guy!"

"I've said it a long time ago, he was so arrogant before, he will definitely suffer a big loss!"

The inner court disciples under the competition stage were talking a lot.

The edge of the competition platform, the elder's seat.
