“We’re brothers, I wouldn’t lie to you.”

Chen Qingyuan assured.

This phrase felt so familiar, he seemed to have said it many times before!

Although Zhangsun Fengye had some doubts in his heart, he didn’t show it and remained silent in thought.

With Chen Qingyuan’s help, Zhangsun Fengye’s marriage with Liu Lingran was almost guaranteed. If Chen Qingyuan kept his word, getting beaten up wouldn’t matter; it would be like being bitten by a dog.

“Swear it.”

Thinking of this, Zhangsun Fengye said solemnly.

“Alright, I swear.”

Chen Qingyuan made a Dao Heart oath, promising to act as the matchmaker. Of course, whether it would succeed depended on their fate.

“That’s more like it.”

With the oath as a binding force, a smile appeared on Zhangsun Fengye’s face, and the weight on his heart lifted.

As for the discomfort from being beaten, it had already dissipated like the wind.

Sparring between brothers shouldn’t be taken to heart. One should gain experience and face it with a smile.

Zhangsun Fengye comforted himself, even thinking he hadn’t been beaten enough. After all, compared to being with Lingran, a beating was nothing.

The two returned to the barren star, arm in arm, undoubtedly close friends.

The various Heaven’s Pride watching from afar were dumbfounded, their minds full of questions.

Just a moment ago, the two were fighting to the death, and now they were suddenly so close? Did we guess wrong? Was it not because of uneven distribution?

Everyone was confused, including Wu Junyan and Daochen Buddha’s child.

“What’s going on with you two…”

Wu Junyan looked at the beaming Zhangsun Fengye, who showed no signs of being upset from the beating, his eyes full of doubt, hesitating to speak.

“Just a spar, don’t mind it.”

Zhangsun Fengye waved his hand, indicating that the fight was insignificant.

“Really nothing?”

Worried, Wu Junyan asked again.

“Nothing.” Zhangsun Fengye had just answered when a surge of heat rose from his abdomen, uncontrollable, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood: “Cough, cough, cough…”

The blood almost splattered on Wu Junyan, but he sidestepped just in time to avoid getting dirty.

Seeing this, Wu Junyan and the Buddha’s child stared wide-eyed, their mouths slightly open.

You’re coughing up blood and still say it’s nothing, are you serious?

Wu Junyan and the Buddha’s child were stunned.

“I feel a bit unwell, I’ll go into seclusion for a few days.”

Leaving a sentence, Zhangsun Fengye flashed to a nearby open space, set up a prohibition, and hurriedly began healing.

“I need to rest too.”

Chen Qingyuan was also injured, the pain slowly intensifying, requiring immediate treatment to prevent it from worsening.

On the mountaintop, Wu Junyan and Daochen exchanged a glance, their minds in disarray.

A month later, Chen Qingyuan was the first to come out of seclusion.

As for Zhangsun Fengye, he was still diligently healing, estimated to need several years to recover his lost vitality.

With the Hundred Veins Banquet nearing its end, Chen Qingyuan decided to take the initiative and seek out the other members of the Ten Heroes of the Northern Wilderness.

He couldn’t keep delaying his third appointment with the Red-Dressed Girl.

If he upset the Red-Dressed Girl, he might be dragged back to the Sky Abyss, and that would be a tough life.

Chen Qingyuan acted alone, leaving Wu Junyan and the others on the barren star to digest the fortunes they had gained over the years or make their own arrangements.

The Buddha’s child originally wanted to accompany him, to protect the Dao in case Chen Qingyuan encountered an unmanageable crisis.

However, under Chen Qingyuan’s strong arguments, the Buddha’s child had to give up and stay behind to wait.

Traveling alone, free and unrestrained.

“Taking you all is too troublesome.”

Chen Qingyuan muttered softly as he distanced himself from the barren star.

The main reason was that he wanted to take advantage of the remaining time to gather more Fortune Green Lotus. If everyone traveled together, many things would be difficult to handle and could easily expose his true identity.

Moreover, he would have to divide the fortunes into several parts, which would be a loss.

In the following years, there were rumors in certain areas of the Ancient World, saying that a mysterious expert frequently robbed the evildoers of the major sects in the Imperial Province, stealing many Fortune Green Lotuses, causing quite a stir.

On a resource-rich star, Chen Qingyuan, dressed in white, looked elegant and refined.

In front of him stood a young man in purple, one of the Ten Heroes of the Northern Wilderness, named Shu Qianrong: “Why does Dao Friend Chen block my way?”

Chen Qingyuan claimed not to know the mysterious person robbing the evildoers, stating he was simply looking for the Ten Heroes of the Northern Wilderness: “I want to spar with you.”

“This…” Nowadays, who didn’t know of Chen Qingyuan’s fame? Shu Qianrong knew his own strength; though not weak, he was definitely not a match for Chen Qingyuan: “I know I’m not as good, is this really necessary?”

“No worries, it’s just a normal spar, we can stop anytime.”

Chen Qingyuan said.

“Alright then!”

With the conversation at this point, Shu Qianrong had no reason to refuse.

Chen Qingyuan didn’t take out his silver spear but faced him with a sword.

After hundreds of moves, Shu Qianrong knew he was no match and conceded.

“To have fought with you is an honor, farewell.”

He cupped his fists, said a polite remark, and turned to leave without hesitation.

Chen Qingyuan went on to seek other Heaven’s Pride of the Northern Wilderness.

In the void, Shu Qianrong was dumbfounded, lost in the wind, unable to recover for a long time.

What was he up to?

Shu Qianrong had thought Chen Qingyuan wanted to rob him, which was why he was reluctant to fight. Who knew that after the fight, Chen Qingyuan just left, leaving Shu Qianrong’s mind in a mess.

If Chen Qingyuan knew Shu Qianrong’s thoughts, he would definitely protest. Though he had a fierce reputation, it was because the other party had evil intentions and struck first, forcing him to act.

Walking the world in his true form, he generally wouldn’t do such robbery, as it would tarnish his reputation.

Chen Qingyuan was just that upright.

In the following days, except for the two Northern Wilderness heroes who died unexpectedly and the missing Zhangsun Qian, all the other Heaven’s Pride were defeated by Chen Qingyuan.

Including the well-known Chang Ziqiu, who had defeated several top Holy Sons of the Imperial Province, but was no match for Chen Qingyuan.

At that time, Chang Ziqiu vowed that if he had the chance in the future, he would challenge Chen Qingyuan again.

Chen Qingyuan didn’t care about this.

You can’t beat me now, you’ll have even less chance in the future.

Learning of the deaths of two Northern Wilderness heroes, Chen Qingyuan felt slightly saddened.

They were Heaven’s Pride with limitless futures, but unfortunately, they died young.

The Hundred Veins Banquet’s Ancient World was a place of great fortune and great danger.

The fallen were related to their own strength and luck.

Those who heard sighed lightly, taking it as a warning to act cautiously and within their limits.

Though his cultivation level wasn’t as high as others, Chen Qingyuan’s foundation was terrifyingly strong, enough to make up for the gap in realm.

Meanwhile, in an unknown secret realm.

“Boom!”

A loud noise stirred up a great commotion, spreading in all directions.

In just a few hours, hundreds of people gathered to see if any fortune had appeared, unwilling to miss out.
