Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 394? You just asked for it directly?!
"One hour left." Chu Danqing calculated the time.

Today is the day to activate the keepsake.

The activation time is 9 PM (亥时).

The hour of Hai (亥) belongs to the element of water.

Furthermore, the name "Misty Mountain Villa" is inextricably linked to the element of water.

Based on the blue light emitted by the peacock feather, Chu Danqing determined that this token belonged to the element of wood.

Therefore, it is reasonable for the element of water to nourish wood and for it to be activated at this time.

"I have a feeling it's not that simple," Chu Danqing said in a low voice, suddenly realizing that someone was watching him.

Da Bao stretched out its claws, ready to strike at any moment.

The reason we didn't act immediately was because the other party meant us no harm.

"Kill him?" Da Bao awaited Chu Danqing's order.

The man moved with the agility of a hawk, and entered Chu Danqing's courtyard in a flash.

After carefully examining her figure, I realized she was a woman.

"You've also been placed under house arrest here by Misty Manor?" the woman asked immediately. "Do you know where the others are being held?"

"You could say he's under house arrest. By 'others,' are you referring to people from the martial arts world?" Chu Danqing asked.

Upon hearing this, the woman's eyes lit up: "Yes, it's them."

“I know. In the dungeon, go out this door, turn left and walk 100 meters, then turn right again, and you'll see eight sentry posts and sixteen hidden sentries. The place they guard is the dungeon,” Chu Danqing said.

Chu Danqing described all the issues in great detail.

Don't ask him how he knew. On the second day after he moved into the courtyard, he spent 36 amusement park points to summon Yang Qianyuan.

He wasn't talking to himself just now; he was talking to Yang Qianyuan.

Therefore, he had a clear understanding of the entire situation of Misty Manor.

They even have plans for what to do next.

"Thank you. Wait, how do you know so much?" The woman also realized what was happening and looked at Chu Danqing suspiciously.

"That's none of your business," Chu Danqing said, then added, "Be careful, because you're not the first one to come and rescue people."

"There were about ten of them yesterday. They managed to break in, but they didn't make it out."

He was telling the truth; he wasn't lying.

"I know that Jiang Tong, that scoundrel, cultivates the Eternal Calamity Technique. Since you are also under house arrest, why don't you join me in this?" Before the woman finished speaking, she was already thinking of recruiting Chu Danqing into their group.

Chu Danqing spread his hands: "My brother and I are too weak to even kill a chicken, and Da Bao is only a five-year-old child. We really can't help you."

The woman looked at Da Bao, who was five years old.
“What, you don’t believe me? Ask him what one plus one equals,” Chu Danqing said bluntly.

"No need. Since you're unwilling, I can go alone." The woman had actually realized that Chu Danqing didn't want to go.

She naturally wouldn't insist: "Goodbye."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

“Brother Chu, this man is a good person, unlike the group from yesterday who had a different attitude.”

"Aren't you going to try to save him?" Yang Qianyuan said with a smile.

"So, what opportunity does she have that you can steal? Or what benefits can you gain from her?" Chu Danqing asked.

He understood Yang Qianyuan's personality; if there was no benefit to it, he wouldn't let Chu Danqing meddle in other people's business. Instead, he would keep Chu Danqing at a distance.

"Yes, yes, we have everything." Yang Qianyuan did not deny it: "Brother Chu, when are you planning to set off? If you're late, you might suffer losses."

"Huh? Are we going together?" Chu Danqing thought that it would be enough to just say that Chunyang Tianjiang would go, but Yang Qianyuan actually went along.

"This isn't a chance for Brother Chu to play the hero and save the damsel in distress," Yang Qianyuan chuckled. "This way, we can squeeze out all the benefits."

Chu Danqing's eye twitched; Yang Qianyuan was indeed quite eloquent.

"Perfect timing, we still have an hour left. Let's finish this quickly, I need to come back to activate the token." Chu Danqing felt that Yang Qianyuan definitely wouldn't ask him to use his connections for no reason.

"Can you reveal anything?" Chu Danqing continued to ask.

This time, Yang Qianyuan answered Chu Danqing: "Those who follow the Way receive much help, while those who stray from the Way receive little help."

"Brother Chu, you've managed to rescue quite a few people this time, and most of them are people with some reputation in the martial arts world."

"You stepped in and turned the tide; they all owe you something."

"One or two may not matter, but if the number is large, it will inevitably lead to a qualitative change."

"At that time, with just a few tricks, the reputation of these martial arts figures can become an asset to you, Brother Chu."

"We can also use this as a springboard to go further," Yang Qianyuan explained to Chu Danqing in detail.

They only stopped talking when they reached the dungeon entrance.

"Young Master Chu, it's late. The Ancestor is not receiving guests. Please return." The sentry on guard said immediately upon seeing that it was Chu Danqing.

After he finished speaking, two sentries surrounded him, intending to forcibly take Chu Danqing back.

“We’re all just working people, it’s good enough if we can keep our lives,” Chu Danqing replied.

There was no need to kill them; after all, they were just trying to make a living.

Upon hearing this, all the sentries attacked simultaneously.

This is their duty, and they don't want to get a scratch from Da Bao, so they have no choice but to fight back.

They would run away if things went wrong? They wouldn't stoop so low.

Then, in one fell swoop, they were all taken down by Da Bao.

They lay on the ground, groaning incessantly. It was only because Da Bao had held back that they were left with nothing but a pile of mangled flesh; they wouldn't even be able to scream, let alone be pieced back together.

The moment I opened the door, a figure crashed down on me.

Da Bao immediately reached out and stopped him.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed the same woman from before.

The good news is that he's still alive; the bad news is that he was dented in the chest from a blow.

He was exhaling but not inhaling; he was on the verge of death.

Fortunately, there was Big White, and luckily it was an injury, not an illness, so it was successfully saved by the spiritual healing technique.

“Young Master Chu, it is not proper for a guest to visit so late at night.” Jiang Tong slowly walked out of the dungeon.

Chu Danqing arrived a step too late; his Eternal Calamity Technique had already reached its thirteenth level of perfection.

Of course, he wasn't actually late. Yang Qianyuan was waiting for him to achieve perfection, otherwise what good things could he have in the treasure chest?

"Well, I actually came to pick up some things," Chu Danqing said honestly.

Jiang Tong's gaze fell on the woman's injuries, then he looked at Chu Danqing: "I wonder what Young Master Chu desires?"

He didn't care that the secret was discovered; it was essentially a semi-public matter.

In a few days, it will definitely all be spread, so it won't make a difference if Chu Danqing is one of them.

"Hmm, I don't know for now." Chu Danqing spread his hands and then said, "But what are your plans, senior?"

"What are your plans?" Jiang Tong paused for a moment and said, "It's getting late. Let's leave this female thief here. Young Master Chu, you should go back and rest early."

Killing Chu Danqing is unlikely, but the people who came to abduct him must be killed to prevent future trouble.

Chu Danqing shook his head: "Senior, this person is very polite. If I hadn't come and I hadn't known, then he would have died."

"Why don't you give me some face and let this matter rest?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tong refused outright.

“I know that Young Master Chu is a hero who loves beauty, but I think Young Master Chu is not lacking in women.”

"Leave it to me. Tomorrow I will personally select ten beautiful maids for Young Master Chu as an apology." Jiang Tong had clearly misunderstood Chu Danqing.

“Senior, you are too much of an eyesore.” Yang Qianyuan knew it was his turn to speak.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tong's face gradually darkened.

“Your death will be good for everyone.” As soon as Yang Qianyuan finished speaking, Da Bao moved.

It wasn't because he attacked first, but because Jiang Tong made the first move, which prompted Da Bao to retaliate.

"Isn't what we're doing a bit wrong? After all, we're eating his food and drinking his water, and in the end, we're going to kill him." Chu Danqing felt something was amiss; Yang Qianyuan had essentially put him on a pedestal.

"That's not right, but it's okay. I was the one who encouraged you," Yang Qianyuan said.

"You can't say that. If I hadn't agreed, this wouldn't have happened. The main reason is still me." Chu Danqing wasn't the kind of person who would shirk responsibility.

"Gentlemen, could you please not blame yourselves for a moment?" After recovering, the woman introduced herself: "Tao Ya from the Plum Blossom School."

“This old thief is using people to practice his skills, and the Misty Hidden Manor is even plotting a rebellion. You two are also under house arrest, so why should you blame yourselves?”

"You're quite the comforter for a young girl like you," Chu Danqing said speechlessly.

Then he gave Yang Qianyuan a wink, indicating that Yang's benefits might be slipping away.

Yang Qianyuan, however, seemed to think, "You just watch me."

“Miss Tao, my elder brother saved you, shouldn’t you repay him in some way?” Yang Qianyuan immediately asked.

Chu Danqing was shocked. So you're just asking for benefits. He thought you were up to some kind of scheme again.

He really couldn't keep up with Yang Qianyuan's way of thinking.

Tao Ya blushed slightly: "Young Master Chu has shown me such great kindness, I am so grateful."

"Wait a minute, don't offer yourself to me yet." Yang Qianyuan interrupted directly: "With your status, you are not worthy of my elder brother."

Chu Danqing's eye twitched. Yang Qianyuan's words had made Tao Ya blush on the spot.

"What do you want?" Tao Ya asked Yang Qianyuan stiffly, finding him utterly annoying.

"Fire," Yang Qianyuan said, uttering only one word.

Upon hearing this, Tao Ya's face turned extremely ugly as she pulled out a secret manual from her bosom and threw it at Yang Qianyuan: "Here you go, hmph."

“Too little,” Yang Qianyuan said again.

Tao Ya rolled her eyes: "Did you peek at me while I was taking a bath?"

After saying that, he took out a piece of red jade from his bosom and threw it to Yang Qianyuan.

"Alright, alright?" Tao Ya was quite angry.

"Okay, all done." After checking the equipment and its inherited skill, Yang Qianyuan handed it to Chu Danqing: "These two items did not originally belong to Miss Tao."

“It’s truly a connection with my elder brother.” After saying that, Yang Qianyuan added, “Of course, if you’re not destined to be with my elder brother, then don’t even think about it.”

Even though it was the second time she had heard it, Tao Ya's blood pressure was still soaring.

I had an urge to pull out my sword and stab Yang Qianyuan to death.

However, it was precisely this impulse that washed away all the feelings from before.

This is fantastic news for Chu Danqing.

He didn't want to get entangled with someone obsessed with romance, as it would easily hinder his progress in becoming stronger.
