"It's the manager of the Essen Chamber of Commerce, Hu Tianqing!"

A surprised exclamation sounded in the hall.

"Hu Tianqing is an existence that is only second to the president of the Essen Chamber of Commerce, and his cultivation has even reached the peak of the Origin Returning Stage. He is one of the famous experts in the Starryfall City!"

"It's said that as long as he wants to, he can step into the Star Gathering Stage at any time!"

"I never thought that he would actually alert the manager of the Essen Chamber of Commerce. Now, that black-robed man is finished."

The moment Hu Tianqing appeared, everyone immediately felt that Ye Qingchen was going to be finished.

"Manager!"

Seeing Hu Tianqing appear, the green-clothed maidservant immediately knelt in front of Hu Tianqing as if she had suffered a great grievance, and cried.

"Manager, this person does not know how to behave. He wanted to barge into my Essen Chamber of Commerce, and I kindly advised him to leave. However, not only did he not listen to me, he even started a fight in the Essen Chamber of Commerce!"

"Please teach him a lesson!"

Hearing the green-clothed maidservant's words, a cold light flashed across Ye Qingchen's eyes.

Hu Tianqing glanced at the fallen guards, then looked at Ye Qingchen, who was hiding under the black robe, and frowned.

He slowly opened his mouth and said, "Sir, you barge into my Essen Chamber of Commerce and even injured my people. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

"I came to the Essen Chamber of Commerce to make a deal with you."

Ye Qingchen pointed at the green-clothed maidservant and said, "I told her about my purpose in coming here a long time ago, but not only did she not listen to me, she even wanted to kick me out of here. In order to protect myself, I had no choice but to make a move."

The maid's body trembled as she turned around and shouted at Ye Qingchen, "You are slandering me! I didn't do anything to you!"

Hu Tianqing glanced at the maid indifferently.

Seeing this, the maid's expression changed. Just as she was about to explain, she was stopped by Hu Tianqing.

"Can you tell me what the deal is?" Hu Tianqing stared at Ye Qingchen and said indifferently.

Ye Qingchen glanced at the people around him and said, "It's not convenient to talk here. Let's go somewhere else."

Hu Tianqing squinted his eyes.

He could tell from the other party's aura that the other party's cultivation was below the Ninth Level of Qi Absorption Stage.

However, he could defeat several guards at the Tenth Level of Qi Absorption Stage.

This was very interesting.

"With your strength, there shouldn't be anything worth my interest." Hu Tianqing said with a faint smile.

"If you listen to my deal, you will definitely be interested."

Ye Qingchen said, "If you kill me, you will definitely regret it."

His voice was as calm as water, and there was even a sense of certainty in it.

Hu Tianqing frowned slightly.

This was the first time he had met a Qi Absorption Stage character who was so confident in front of him.

This made him feel a little interested.

"Since that's the case, come with me."

Hu Tianqing smiled faintly, then turned around and walked into the depths of the hall.

Hu Tianqing's unexpected change of attitude stunned everyone present.

The manager of the Essen Chamber of Commerce actually agreed to the black-robed man?

"Manager! You can't agree to him! How could he have anything worthwhile to trade with you in his current state?"

The servant girl's heart was filled with anxiety as she spoke anxiously.

"I will ask you for an explanation later. Now, you can leave."

Hu Tianqing did not even turn around as he continued to walk in.

Ye Qingchen followed behind him.

When he passed by the servant girl, he coldly swept a glance at her before walking over without looking at her.

He was not someone who could forget.

Once he successfully worked with Hu Tianqing, he would immediately teach this servant girl an unforgettable lesson!

After entering the hall, Ye Qingchen and Hu Tianqing entered a VIP reception room.

"This is a place for the distinguished guests of the Essen Chamber of Commerce. Only those who have become a distinguished guest of the Essen Chamber of Commerce are qualified to come here."

Hu Tianqing took the lead and sat down on a soft chair. He pointed at the sofa across from him and said, "Sit."

After Ye Qingchen sat down, he took off his robe and hat before Hu Tianqing could say anything.

"Ye Qingchen?! It's actually you?!"

The moment he saw that face, Hu Tianqing, who had always been calm, lost his composure for the first time.

He did not expect that Ye Qingchen, who was rumored to have been crippled by the Green Cloud College and expelled from the academy, would actually be the same person as the black-robed man who had single-handedly defeated several guards of the Tenth Level Qi Absorption Stage!

One must know that Ye Qingchen had only returned to the Starryfall City for less than a day!

In less than a day, he had actually recovered to such a state?

Just what had happened in between?

Seeing that Hu Tianqing was still unable to recover from his shock, Ye Qingchen coughed lightly and said, "For some reason, I need to conceal my appearance. I hope that Steward Hu won't blame me."

"Hehe, what are you saying, Young Master Ye?"

Hu Tianqing finally recovered from his shock and chuckled.

He sized up Ye Qingchen from head to toe and then asked tentatively,

"Young Master Ye, forgive me for being presumptuous, but with your current cultivation..."

"I was once crippled by the Green Cloud College. However, due to a lucky chance, I have recovered some of my cultivation."

Ye Qingchen smiled faintly and said, "As for how I recovered my cultivation, this is my own secret... Steward Hu, you won't even ask about this, right?"

Hu Tianqing was startled for a moment, then he chuckled and retracted his words.

"Since that's the case, then Young Master Ye, please tell me what the deal you mentioned is."

Ye Qingchen smiled faint and said, "Steward Hu, if my memory serves me right, you have been at the peak of the Origin Returning Stage for almost seven years, right?"

Hu Tianqing chuckled and nodded, "That's right, I have been here for six years and ten months."

As his voice fell, a trace of unnoticeable dimness flashed across Hu Tianqing's eyes.

Then he chuckled and said, "Young Master Ye, don't tell me that you have a way to help me break through to the Origin Returning Stage?"

Although he said that, his tone was full of ridicule.

However, to his surprise, Ye Qingchen slowly nodded and said, "That's right. I do have a way to help you break through to the Origin Returning Stage."

Hu Tianqing's body trembled slightly, then he squinted his eyes and said, "How can I believe what you said?"

Ye Qingchen smiled and said, "The reason why you are unable to break through is not because you are not talented enough, but because there is a hidden injury in your body."

"Whenever you want to break through, the hidden injury in your body will flare up violently, causing you to not dare to forcefully break through. Even if you can break through, the hidden injury will also explode, and it is very likely that it will leave a hidden danger in your body for the rest of your life."

After Ye Qingchen finished speaking, he realized that Hu Tianqing's face was filled with shock.

The way he looked at Ye Qingchen had completely changed!

He could not understand how Ye Qingchen, who was only at the Qi Absorption Stage, could see through the hidden injuries in his body!

Only Ye Qingchen knew that the memory fragment that the man left him not only contained his unique understanding of the path of cultivation, but also a portion of his experience.

Although it was just a portion, it was unimaginably vast and rich for Ye Qingchen.

This experience naturally increased Ye Qingchen's knowledge, which was why he could recognize the hidden injury in Hu Tianqing's body with a single glance.

"Then may I ask Young Master Ye, how can I get rid of the hidden injury in my body?"

Hu Tianqing cupped his fists and asked carefully. His tone was faintly filled with excitement.

What Ye Qingchen had said was completely correct.

The hidden injury in his body was left behind by an extremely difficult Devil Beast when he was training.

The strength of that Devil Beast was equal to his, so with his ability, he was unable to get rid of the hidden injury left behind by it.

"Give me a piece of paper and a pen." Ye Qingchen said.

Hu Tianqing shuddered and immediately went to get it himself.

In a moment, he appeared in front of Ye Qingchen and handed the paper and pen to him.

Ye Qingchen lowered his head and quickly wrote on the paper.

After a moment, he stopped writing and handed the paper to Hu Tianqing.

"This note records the method to get rid of the hidden injury. If you follow the instructions on the paper, you will be able to get rid of the hidden injury in less than a month and break through to the Origin Returning Stage!"

Hu Tianqing took the paper and quickly wrote down the contents of the note.

Even though his heart was filled with excitement, he still maintained his composure and said,

"If this method is useless, then what should I do?"

"Is it useful? You can just try it."

Ye Qingchen smiled and suddenly said, "Steward Hu, if I have a conflict with the Ye Family in the Starryfall Martial Competition a month later, which side will you stand on?"

Hu Tianqing was startled. He thought for a moment and said, "There is a Second Level Star Gathering Stage Ye Chengzhang in the Ye Family. Even my Essen Chamber of Commerce has to give him some respect."

"Not only that, they also have Ye Chenyi, who has already awakened the 'Origin Spirit Martial Veins'. In the future, he will definitely become an 'Anchorite'. With him, the Ye Family will definitely shine brightly in the future."

"In such a situation, I will not allow the Essen Chamber of Commerce to stand on the opposite side of them."

The meaning of his words was that Hu Tianqing did not want to be on bad terms with the Ye Family, which had an 'Anchorite' expert in the future.

"Then what if I can cripple Ye Chenyi in the Starryfall Martial Competition?" Ye Qingchen said casually.

Hu Tianqing's pupils shrank. "That is Ye Chenyi, who has awakened the 'Origin Spirit Martial Veins!"

"With his strength and the resources of the Ye Family, do you really have the ability to cripple him in a month?"

"Even if you can cripple Ye Chenyi, that guy, Ye Chengzhang, will definitely not let you go. At that time …"

Speaking up to this point, Hu Tianqing's voice suddenly stopped.

A moment later, he narrowed his eyes and sighed, "So your condition is … this."

He instantly understood that Ye Qingchen wanted to borrow his hand to block Ye Chengzhang's anger!

"Steward Hu is indeed smart."

Ye Qingchen smiled and said, "If Steward Hu can recover from his injuries in a month, I believe that he will make the right choice at that time."

Hu Tianqing was silent.

Indeed, if Ye Qingchen could really cripple Ye Chenyi, then there would only be Ye Chengzhang, who was at the Second Level of the Star Gathering Stage, left in the Ye Family.

Although it was still a bit troublesome, it was not enough to be feared.

After all, the Ye Family with Ye Chenyi was a dragon with unlimited potential.

But if Ye Chenyi was gone... at most, he could only be considered a slightly threatening wolf.

"Do you really believe that if I can recover from my injuries, I will definitely help you?" Hu Tianqing suddenly asked.

"If I know that Steward Hu is a cold and heartless person, then I won't come here."

Ye Qingchen smiled.

Hu Tianqing was startled. After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said,

"Alright! If I can really recover from my injuries in a month, I will definitely help you in the 'Starryfall Martial Competition'!"
