C25 Transactions

At night!

The traffic within the beautifully-lit Imperial Capital City was busy, and the song of dances could be heard as it emitted the charm of a nation's prosperous capital.

In a resplendent restaurant, men and women dressed in luxurious clothing could be seen everywhere, enjoying themselves.

"The two of you, this way please …"

He walked up the wide steps and walked through the slightly tipsy corridor.

Under the guidance of a young man, Li Wei and Liu Meng, the two mentors of Bright Moon Martial Mansion, were brought to a private room on the second floor full of confusion.

"The two of you, please come in." The man politely nodded his head before gently pushing the door open.

The first thing that caught their eye was a table full of delicacies and good wine.

There was a middle-aged man sitting in the room. The man's appearance was very ordinary. If he were to turn around and enter the crowd, he would soon be forgotten.

However, such a seemingly ordinary person actually gave off an indescribably dangerous aura.

"I've waited for long, Mentor Li Wei, Mentor Liu Meng," the middle-aged man laughed slightly, his voice sounding as heavy as thunder.

Li Wei and Liu Meng looked at each other, seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.

"Who are you? What do you need from us? "

Li Wei opened his mouth to ask, and then entered the room along with Liu Meng.

"Please take a seat, you two." The middle-aged man said indifferently, he slowly lifted up the jug of wine by his side and poured the two cups full of fine wine onto the table.

The doubt in their hearts became even more intense.

Liu Meng frowned, and bellowed: Who exactly are you? If you don't answer, I won't have the leisure to be here with you! "

"Hehe, Mentor Liu Meng, don't be anxious." The middle-aged man smiled and gently put down the jug of wine. He looked at the two calmly and said, "I've come to invite the two of you because I have a request for you."

"Oh?" Li Wei was slightly surprised.

"Today's afternoon, there's a person called 'Chu Hen' who participated in the Bright Moon Martial Mansion examination!"

Chu Hen?

The two of them were even more surprised, the man had actually invited them for Chu Hen?

"If you have something to say, just say it! Don't beat around the bush." Li Wei replied.

The middle-aged man remained calm and collected as he took out two wooden boxes from behind him and placed them on the table. The moment the boxes were opened, a blinding light could be seen.

In each of the two wooden boxes, there were more than ten crystal clear and colorful crystals.

Judging from the luster of the crystal and the pattern of its internal flow, they were definitely a high-grade Elemental Crystal Stones.

"What do you mean?" Li Wei asked, with his tone carrying a slight change.

"Hehe, this is our first time meeting each other. This is a greeting gift for both of you." The middle-aged man laughed with interest.

"No gains without pains. Please take back the gift!" Liu Meng said coldly.

"Since I've already given the item away, I won’t take it back." The middle-aged man paused for a moment before continuing, "However, I'd like to ask for your help me with something."

"What are you trying to say?"

"I don't wish to see the name 'Chu Hen' on the list of accepted students released by Bright Moon Martial Mansion tomorrow."

What?

Li Wei and Liu Meng could not help but be shocked, he actually wanted this?

He actually didn't want Chu Hen to enter the Bright Moon Martial Mansion?

"Why?" Liu Meng could not help but ask.

"I won't mention the reason. I believe that for the two of you, you just had to lift a finger to finish such a small matter."

"No." Liu Meng frowned, "Our Bright Moon Martial Mansion follows the rules. Since Chu Hen has passed the examination, how can we refuse him? Take your things back. "

Liu Meng was unwilling, but Li Wei had a look of hesitation on his face.

The middle-aged man smiled and stood up. "I've said it before. There's no reason to take back the things I gave you. I'll take my leave first. You two can drink a cup of water here first."

With that, the middle-aged man left the room.

The air seemed to solidify, as the High-Grade Elemental Crystal Stones on the table glistened like gems in the night.

To the two of them, these high-grade Elemental Crystal Stones were definitely not a small amount of wealth.

Even if the two of them did not eat nor drink in Bright Moon Martial Mansion, it would still take them two to three years to be afford these High-Grade Elemental Crystal Stones. But now, with just a simple decision, they could make a harvest that needed two to three years of hard work.

But if they did this, they would feel a bit sorry for Chu Hen.

"You really want to agree to that person's request?" Liu Meng stared deadly at Li Wei.

Li Wei hesitated, it was simply a struggle for him, after thinking about it, a look of determination flashed past his eyes. Then he said, "Liu Meng, you know that these High-Grade Elemental Crystal Stones can give us a lot of help."

"But if the high-level leaders find out, we're done for."

"They won't." Li Wei firmly shook his head, "He's only a Newbie Student with good talent, the higher-ups would not care about this sort of thing. Even if the Principal finds out, he wouldn't expel us from the Bright Moon Martial Mansion."

After all, the two of them had stayed in the Bright Moon Martial Mansion for seven or eight years. They could be sure that.

"There are geniuses everywhere, our Bright Moon Martial Mansion has never lacked outstanding talented students, that Chu Hen is just one of them. The higher-ups will not care about one more person or one less person!"

Li Wei explained, paused for a moment, and continued, "Think about it, the person who is targeting that brat is not someone we can offend."

Liu Meng was shocked, as though he had understood something.

Now that he thought about it, there was definitely an even more extraordinary figure behind that middle-aged man.

The person who truly targeted Chu Hen, was the person who was hidden at the back.

"I understand!" Liu Meng clenched his fists, causing a chill to run down his spine.

Li Wei also let out a deep breath, "For Chu Hen, losing his life is something that will happen sooner or later. The reason why the other side hasn't acted yet is because they are playing cat and mouse game. Even if Chu Hen were to enter Bright Moon Martial Mansion, he would most likely die without a doubt one day. Now that the outcome has been decided, why should we meddle?

It had to be said that Li Wei was a smart person.

Of course, the Imperial Capital of the Holy Star Dynasty had gathered countless smart people.

After listening to his analysis, Liu Meng realized that things were not as simple as he imaged.

"Just who did that kid offend?" Liu Meng secretly sighed, and then shook his head: "Forget it, I will listen to your opinion on this matter! What a waste of a talented student."

Li Wei's eyes congealed and a touch of coldness surfaced on his face.

"But today, Chu Hen's performance has been witnessed by everyone. What excuse do we use tomorrow to reject him?" Liu Meng asked.

"Why should we find excuses? We just avoid meeting him and even if we meet with him, we just answer nothing. In any case, it's us who in charge of enrollment, so the higher-ups won't ask about it and the subordinates won’t pay attention to. If they were to discuss, let them continue to so, who would be concerned about this after a few days' time? "

"That makes sense!"

Liu Meng nodded his head, and immediately did not have any concerns.

Other than feeling a little bad for Chu Hen, there were no other emotions. Soon after, after the two of them stored the High-Grade Elemental Crystal Stones in front of them, the only thing that they felt as if they owed had completely disappeared.

The reality was often so cruel!

In the face of power and temptation, justice seemed insignificant.

To survive in this man-eating world, strength was the only truth that tested one's strength.

Late at night!

The bright moonlight was sprinkled down like silver forest.

Under the moonlight, a unique courtyard was completely quiet and serene.

This area was where Bright Moon Martial Mansion students lived. Ordinary students shared the same courtyard with several others. And only the top geniuses who were highly regarded by the Martial Mansion would be able to own private courtyards.

Clearly, this was a private courtyard.

On the left side of the courtyard, there was an open-air pavilion with Stone Table.

At this moment, a young girl was sitting atop the Stone Table. Her long hair was draped over her shoulders and she wore a white dress. The light of the bright moon shone on her body, causing her snow-white skin to look like beautiful jade.

A delicate oval face with dexterous facial features, she was beautiful and illusionary, like a fairy in the night.

At this moment, the young girl slowly opened her beautiful eyes. A temperament as cold as ice quietly appeared.

This person was right Long Zhan's youngest daughter, Long Qingyang's younger sister, the Second Elder Sister-by-law of Chu Hen, Long Xuanshuang.

"After so many days, he should be enrolled in at the Difeng Martial Mansion, right?" Long Xuanshuang's beautiful eyes moved, her red lips moved slightly as she muttered to herself.

A few days ago, he received a letter from his father, Long Zhan, saying that Chu Hen had been accepted by the Difeng Martial Mansion and had asked her and Long Qingyang to go to the relay station to receive him.

But because of her own reasons, Long Xuanshuang had not gone out for a few days already.

Just as Long Xuanshuang was hesitating whether or not she should go and see Chu Hen tomorrow, an uncontrollable vortex suddenly surged out of her body. Immediately after, the entire pavilion's Stone Table was covered with a thin layer of ice crystal frost with Long Xuanshuang as the center.

"Sigh …"

Long Xuanshuang sighed softly. The power of the Ice Soul War Body was so uncontrollable, it was even more tyrannical than the normal War Bodies.

"Forget it, I’ll go after a while! Since big brother was with him, there shouldn't be any problems that can't be solved. "

Immediately, Long Xuanshuang closed her eyes again and immersed herself into cultivation.

The starry sky gradually disappeared.

Slowly, the sky turned white.

When the first ray of dawn illuminated the horizon through the layers of clouds, Chu Hen who was in the room opened his eyes. His clear and dark eyes revealed a look of anticipation.

One day had passed, so it was time to go to Bright Moon Martial Mansion.
