Light Cultivation
Eps. 144 — Hidden Strategies
"Does that mean they are already in the high realm of Nature?" Jian Chen asked after.
Lily shook her head. "No, it doesn't seem like their strength is that high just because my eyes can't see the cultivation. According to my guess, the strength of the girls is not much different from the first girl, at least they are still in the Realm of Life."
Jian Chen nodded, although Lily was still guessing but Jian Chen believed what he said, Lagian if you think logically, it makes no sense that a swordsman in the Sky Realm could be short of money.
Jian Chen now looked at the twin girls with a different look. Jian Chen had heard from his teacher as well as Lily that the world was vast and knew no bounds.
The Dragon Empire may be a large Empire, consisting of 12 landmasses, each of which has a fairly large area but in the view of those who already know many worlds, the, The Dragon Empire could be just a tiny dust in the universe.
Not to mention the power of each world is diverse, some are higher and some are most basic. All of them had certain limits in cultivating.
If Lily ever said that she could destroy her Empire with a single swing of the hand then it was impossible for that to be true.
Jian Chen sighed, thinking of many things including the other world made his mind feel tired. He also has his own purpose in this world, which is to protect his family and clan from the dangers that come.
Not to mention the 12 Hunters who were unknown to the purpose of his organization, every member of them was extremely strong despite only numbering 12 people. Sooner or later they would act and mess up the Dragon Empire.
After a few minutes passed the five girls finally finished their breakfast, Jian Chen could feel they were already full.
In contrast to Jian Chen, everyone in the restaurant looked wide at the appetite of the five girls, it was hard to believe that the slimy body could hold as much food as before.
"Ah, really delicious, it's not wrong they apply expensive prices on every cuisine..." Lan Qiaoqiao wiped her lips in an arm dress while leaning her back against the seat.
The four twins were not much different, they stroked his stomach which now felt full.
Jian Chen smiled faintly before rising from his chair, before he was about to leave the restaurant Jian Chen first gave Lan Qiaoqiao a leather pouch containing gold coins.
"It's..." Lan Qiaoqiao looked surprised by Jian Chen's sudden gift of money.
"I hope with this money you don't starve anymore, I can't keep you company any longer, it's dark so I say goodbye first."
After saying so Jian Chen left his fifth, faintly before descending the stairs Jian Chen heard Lan Qiaoqiao say thank you.
"First cousin, why did he leave so soon, was he uncomfortable sitting at the table with us?" The brown-rattled girl or named Lan Yueyue asked in confusion.
"I also don't understand, maybe he's having an important need so he should leave us..." Lan Qiaoqiao looked at the leather pouch in her hand. "Only just this time there is someone who gives this much money especially he is not fascinated by our beauty. The young man seemed sincerely eager to help..."
"Hmph! Sincere or not, it's not in our interest right now." The yellow tussling girl, Lan Xiaxia snorted in annoyance and then folded her hands. "The priority right now is that ancient tomb, how can we enter it."
"I understand, but we better not rush this, we still have plenty of time to go there. Now the more important thing is to look for information, we have to look at the situation further."
Because soon the night would arrive, the five of them first looked for an inn with the money Jian Chen had given them earlier.
When Lan Qiaoqiao opened the leather pouch, her eyes opened wide. 'This Jian Brother, how rich he really is..."

A group soon arrived in a luxurious carriage, dozens of soldiers standing straight beside him, escorting someone in the carriage.
When the door of the train opened, there appeared a young man who had a beautiful face, his face flat, no expression whatsoever even in front of him there was a welcome to welcome his arrival.
If the young man's face had just a hint of an engraved smile there would probably be many women falling for him. The problem is that he is always cold to anyone including a woman.
Mayor Liu, as the people called him, had already stood up to greet the young man, seeing the Youth not reacting to the welcome he prepared made him think that the event was unsatisfactory.
Though he had prepared music and dancing that accompanied, the decorations on the wall also looked colorful but nothing that made the young man interested.
Mayor Liu did not dare to look at the young man, his head kept his head down even breathing carefully. It is actually quite discourse because the guest attending his residence is not an ordinary person, he is the Prince of Longxia, the son of the leader who takes care of the Wind Dragon province.
Although his position was very high in the city of Daiji but in the presence of Yun Longxia, Mayor Liu was nothing.
Yun Longxia was not alone in his carriage, before long he came out there was one more person who appeared. The man was wearing a black robe that had a hood on his head, his face covered by the hood.
Mayor Liu and his guards gulped as they felt the powerful aura of the black-robed man, they believed he was Yun Longxia's personal bodyguard who was a high-class swordsman.
Yun Longxia did not say a single word, he directly entered the Mayor's residence with the black-robed man.
Mayor Liu followed him later, he gave instructions to the maids and the others so that today they worked their best.
Yun Longxia sat at the work desk that Mayor Liu used to use when working while the black-robed man was by his side.
Mayor Liu stood in front of the second table in a nervous manner, it had been a long time since the leader seemed to feel that way.
"How's it going about the ancient tomb now, hasn't anyone got the treasure yet?" Ask Longxia.
"Prince, nothing has yet succeeded even though several hundred warriors have entered it..." Mayor Liu replied.
Mayor Liu then explained that lately there are many warriors who come to his city, whether it is in the form of groups or people because of the news of ancient tombs that have been spread.
Many tried to enter and not a few lost their lives, although many who died from the ancient tomb did not discourage the warriors to explore the sacred tomb.
Yun Longxia did not respond to Mayor Liu's explanation any further but instead turned his head to the black-robed man standing beside him.
"Broker Zhao, do you think we should move now?"
"Prince, we should do it as previously arranged, we should see first the warriors who entered the ancient tomb, if in three days nothing succeeds then we will enter."
Yun Longxia nodded, quite satisfied with the explanation.
No one knows the real plans and strategies of Longxia, anyone who will get treasures or heirlooms from the ancient tomb, regardless he will give it up or not, Longxia will try to seize it either in the form of money or in a rough way using martial arts.
Of course all these actions were for the sake of politics in the end, because his younger brother outperformed him in terms of influence then Longxia would outperform his younger brother in terms of strength.
