Chapter 461: Chapter 316: The Marriage Partner’s Identity Cannot Be Lost

Main Court Reception Area.

When I last came here, it was to meet Chen Tai.

Today was the same.

Upon entering, the hall was empty.

After a long wait, still no one arrived.

Pang Wen whispered, "They must be deliberately delaying."

Gu An sipped the tea on the table and calmly responded, "It’s fine."

The strong have their pride; such things are not unusual.

With the power of Primordial Spirit, it’s reasonable for someone like me at the Golden Core Late Stage to wait a while.

There’s no need to get angry.

Pang Wen bowed his head and said no more, simply waiting alongside Gu An.

After a long while, the other party finally arrived.

This time, only Chen Tai was present.

Perhaps they felt that this time didn’t need such attention.

Gu An looked at him; unlike before, the other’s eyes now gleamed with a cold smirk and excitement, probably thinking that today’s matter was in the bag.

"Senior Chen," Gu An stood up and greeted him.

The other responded with a "Hmm" and sat down, saying, "Sorry for being late, Gu wouldn’t mind, right?"

Gu An shook his head, "Seniors are powerful, handling myriad matters, delay by some affairs is natural."

Chen Tai chuckled, "It seems Gu truly understands consideration. But why haven’t you served tea to me? I’m a guest too; is this how Outer Peak treats guests?"

Gu An shook his head, "The tea is rather plain, I feared it would not suit Senior Chen’s taste. If senior doesn’t mind, I shall have them prepare a pot."

The other didn’t care, instead saying, "We’re still here to redeem Chen Changfeng. As long as he’s unharmed, I’m willing to spend three hundred thousand Spirit Stones to redeem him.

After all, I am his uncle; I indeed can’t bear to abandon him."

Gu An looked at the man in front of him, lowering his eyelids and softly said, "So, you are his uncle."

"He grew up with us, we must save him," Chen Tai sincerely said.

Gu An sighed, "Then I guess I have to release him, let’s say one million Spirit Stones."

Snap!

Chen Tai slammed the table and stood up, "One million? Are you sure Chen Changfeng is unharmed?"

Gu An leaned back and asked, "How would Senior know if something’s wrong with him?"

"I’ve asked people from the First Institute, Chen Changfeng is almost being tortured to death by you," Chen Tai said coldly.

Finally, Gu An sighed, "Then, three hundred thousand it is."

"One hundred thousand," Chen Tai said, seemingly certain he had the upper hand.

The smug curve on his lips was all too evident.

Gu An looked at him, saying, "Two hundred fifty thousand."

In the end, they settled at one hundred eighty thousand.

Gu An said they would make the trade tomorrow.

The other agreed.

Once they were gone, Pang Wen immediately said, "The team leader from First Institute had no contact with him."

"Go on," Gu An nodded and quietly spoke.

Afterward, Gu An left Outer Peak.

Elsewhere.

Chen Tai arrived at an inn in Qingmu City.

The elder inside was still waiting.

Seeing the smile on the returnee’s face, he knew this matter was settled.

Chen Tai respectfully said,

"The elder had a way; indeed, the other party agreed, but it cost us one hundred eighty thousand Spirit Stones."

"It’s fine," the elder chuckled, "A mere Golden Core Late Stage, he may swagger around in Outer Peak, but once he leaves, he’s just a Golden Core Stage dog.

In our presence, he’s merely fit to bark and beg for his life.

We’ll wait here for a few days. When we encounter him, the Spirit Stones must return to their original owner."

Hearing this, Chen Tai laughed heartily, "Not letting that Gu dog profit is best, one hundred eighty thousand is nothing, but it irks me to let him earn it.

But I don’t have one hundred eighty thousand Spirit Stones."

The elder was taken aback, "I didn’t bring that much either, but we can give him an IOU; considering his urgency, he’ll probably agree.

And then, we don’t need to pay it back; before leaving, we can inform him in advance to see his angry but powerless expression."

While they were still jesting, a sudden knock on the door came.

Both were quite surprised.

"Who’s there?" Chen Tai’s voice carried a hint of caution.

Perceiving the surrounding, there was no one outside.

Creak!

The door was opened.

Gu An confidently walked in.

Seeing him, Chen Tai was startled for a moment, "Gu?"

Gu An looked at him, stepping forward abruptly and kicking out.

Clang!

Some Magic Treasure shattered, its power significantly reduced.

Fortunately, his kick was aimed to kill.

However, at the moment his foot contacted the body, its power halved again.

Bang!

Chen Tai was sent flying backward.

Spurt!

Blood gushed out, hitting the wall.

He looked ahead in shock,

"You...aren’t you Golden Core? Primordial Spirit?"

Gu An was even more astonished; he had used the force of Early Stage Returning to Void with that kick, it should have killed him.

Yet...

It merely caused a slight injury.

And it seemed like there was a talisman burning on his body, healing the wounds at a visible rate.

What on earth is all this?

At this moment, the elder didn’t hesitate and started attacking Gu An with magic.

Facing such an attack, Gu An simply extended his hand.

Clang!

Gu An felt like he just broke something with his hand.

Fortunately, he managed to grab the elder by the neck, his magic spells collapsing in that moment.

But suddenly a talisman appeared, shining brilliantly, and terrible power burst forth.

Boom!

The entire inn was blown open, sunlight and moonlight shining down.

Gu An stood there, covered in Gang Qi, unharmed, but his arm showed some injuries.

The elder in his hand was also dead.

Mutual destruction?

Gu An found it hard to believe, then, not far away, the figure reappeared.

Alive again?

Gu An hesitated no longer, a long spear appeared in his hand, which he then threw.
