Chaotic World of Martial Arts: I Have a Spirit Pearl of Desire

"Uh..." Chen You didn't expect Luo Yan to react so strongly.

Sun Liancheng quickly said, "Junior Sister Luo, everyone has their own ambitions, there's nothing to say about it."

Xu Zhan, who had been silent all along, nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, Junior Sister Luo, there's no need to be so harsh."

Gao Chengyang quickly tried to smooth things over: "Junior Brother Chen, I have a few words to say to you."

Gao Chengyang quickly pulled Chen You away, saying, "Junior Brother Chen, I was wrong. I thought this was a good opportunity for you, but I didn't expect you to dislike it..."

"Thank you, senior brother, but I really have no interest in escorting goods."

"Well, never mind then. In my opinion, Junior Brother, do you perhaps want to join a martial arts sect in the future?"

Gao Chengyang asked.

"The martial arts sect's leader..."

Chen You had heard of martial arts sects before; they were just various schools of thought.

Their power is extremely strong; some sects even have sixth-rank or seventh-rank masters.

Such people are called immortals on land!

"I do want to, but it seems like we don't have any here?" Chen You asked.

"Here, in this remote place, a third or fourth-rank martial artist is already considered strong! But looking at those prosperous cities in the inland, a third or fourth-rank martial artist is nothing special."

At this point, Gao Chengyang looked wistful.

Next, Gao Chengyang talked about some sects and forces within the Great Yuan Dynasty, which Chen You found fascinating.

Perhaps one day, I will leave this place to pursue an even stronger path in martial arts!

"By the way, how's fishing lately?" Gao Chengyang asked expectantly.

I haven't gone fishing lately.

Chen You spoke frankly, mainly because there was no information about Baoyu.

"Senior Brother Gao, don't worry, I'll always remember the favor I did for you."

Gao Chengyang forced a smile: "No rush, no rush! By the way, two senior brothers just came over, and I'm planning to treat them to dinner. You can come along too."

"I'll pass on that. I just turned down someone, and it would feel weird to have dinner with them."

"Oh well."

Gao Chengyang knew that Chen You disliked scheming, so he let him be.

In the afternoon, Chen You went to the rouge shop and bought a bottle of rouge.

Just as I was about to leave, I saw Luo Yan and Senior Sister Yang Zhenzhen walking together at the door.

Surprisingly, Fang Zheng was also present next to Yang Zhenzhen.

"Oh, I knew I hadn't heard of it..."

Chen You sighed.

Thinking about it, it makes sense. I have no evidence. Even if I tell Yang Zhenzhen that Fang Zheng is not a good person, why would she believe me?

"Search for money-making opportunities nearby."

He shook his head, not wanting to think about it further, and decided to focus on his own affairs first.

[Information 1: A white arowana of grade three is resting near Sanhe Bay.]

"Huh, information about the treasure fish!"

After waiting for so many days, I finally saw Baoyu's message.

…………

…………

…………

The night was as dark as ink, spilling across the silent mountains and ancient roads.

A cold wind howled past, rustling the roadside weeds.

Before we knew it, it was already late at night.

Chen You carried the heavy sack in one hand and walked slowly along the winding mountain road toward the city.

He spent a lot of time trying to catch this precious fish.

I finally got it.

Because it was too dark, and the area outside the city was never peaceful at night, Chen You slowed down to ensure everything went smoothly.

He frowned slightly, a dark glint flashing in his eyes, and silently thought, "Investigate information about me in the vicinity."

[Information 1: On your way back, you'll encounter a group of bandits who will try to rob you. However, the strongest among them is only at the mid-stage of the first rank.]

[Information 2: Today, Gao Chengyang invited his martial arts school disciples to a banquet at Baihualou. Fang Zheng also accepted the invitation and went along. After a few rounds of drinks, most people had already left.]

Fang Zheng plans to drug Yang Zhenzhen and get her tonight.

In his view, only by winning over Yang Zhenzhen could he truly establish a relationship and gain the support of the Yan Yang Martial Arts School!

[Information 3: During the banquet, Luo Yan said that you are not good at interpersonal relationships and will not amount to much in the future. Everyone agreed.]

…………

…………

…………

"What?! This Fang Zheng is actually trying to poison Yang Zhenzhen?"

Chen You immediately quickened his pace and hurried into the city.

"Kid, make some money to spend!"

Suddenly, several dark figures darted out of the darkness ahead, grinning maliciously as they blocked the way.

However, before the leader could finish speaking, Chen You had already turned into a blur!

boom!

The Three Yang Fist erupted instantly, and scorching hot blood and qi gushed out.

The man blocking the road didn't even have a chance to defend himself. He let out a muffled groan, his chest suddenly caved in, and he died on the spot.

Only a muffled rumble remained in the silent night.

Before the remaining bandits could recover from their shock, Chen You had already used his movement technique to sweep past, carrying the sack, and disappeared into the depths of the night.

Half an hour later, downstairs at the Hundred Flowers Pavilion.

Chen You, slightly out of breath, looked at the brightly lit restaurant, her brows furrowed: "I hope we make it in time. Please, Senior Sister Yang, don't get into trouble..."

"Hey, Junior Brother Chen, what are you doing here?"

Suddenly, a clear and melodious voice came from behind.

Chen You turned around abruptly and saw Yang Zhenzhen standing on her tiptoes looking at him, her face flushed with a hint of intoxication.

"Senior sister, you...you're alright?" Chen You was stunned.

"What could possibly be wrong with me?" Yang Zhenzhen asked, puzzled. "Didn't Senior Brother Gao tell you today that we're having dinner here tonight? We called you, but you wouldn't come... I just finished eating and was about to head back."

Chen You blinked: "This... nothing unexpected happened in between?"

"No, everyone seemed to be having a good time." Yang Zhenzhen leaned closer to examine him curiously. "By the way, why are you here so late at night? Aren't you going home to rest?"

"Uh... I just got back from fishing and was just passing by." Chen You touched his nose and coughed awkwardly.

"Really? How was the harvest?" Yang Zhenzhen looked at the sack in his hand with great interest.

"It's alright..." Chen You quickly changed the subject, "Um... did Senior Brother Fang Zheng go back?"

"You went back? What happened?"

"Uh...it's nothing, it's nothing!"

"Why are you acting so strange today?"

Yang Zhenzhen smiled and said, "Alright, go home early. I'm leaving too."

"Take care, senior sister."

Watching Yang Zhenzhen walk away, Chen You thought to himself, "The prayer beads wouldn't malfunction, so something must have gone wrong along the way."

For example, Fang Zheng felt that the matter was difficult to handle, so he gave up.

"Alright, it's good that you're alright. Let's go back."

It was getting too late, so Chen You decided to take a secluded path to get home.

The alley was deep and dark. Not long after entering, a weak panting sound suddenly came from a corner ahead.

"Is anyone there?"

Chen You tiptoed and followed the sound.

Behind the collapsed door of a dilapidated old house, a petite figure was huddled up.

Chen You looked in the dim moonlight and was immediately stunned!

It was Luo Yan!

She leaned weakly against the cold wall, breathing rapidly, her cheeks flushed an unnatural red, her eyes glazed over, and she seemed somewhat delirious.

"Luo Yan…………"

Chen You frowned, and just as he was beginning to have doubts, a series of hurried and chaotic footsteps suddenly came from outside the alley.

"Quick! That woman ran here. Search her thoroughly, don't let her leave!"

An impatient voice shouted loudly.

Chen You's eyes narrowed slightly; the voice sounded extremely familiar!

It's Founder!

"Could it be that Fang is looking for Luo Yan...?"

Without delay, Chen You immediately activated the Desire Beads: "Check for information about me in the vicinity."

[Information 1: Tonight, Fang Zheng planned to drug Yang Zhenzhen, but Luo Yan knew that Yang Zhenzhen couldn't hold her liquor, so she drank the drugged drink for her.]

Yang Zhenzhen and her disciples left early due to other commitments.

Seeing that his plan had failed, Fang Zheng decided to go all in and take down Luo Yan.

He offered to take Luo Yan home, but on the way, he made unwanted advances towards her. Luo Yan realized something was wrong with her body and that she had been drugged.

She was both shocked and furious.

At this moment, she thought of you. You once said that Fang Zheng was a wicked person! I never thought it was true...

She was filled with deep regret; why had she trusted Fangzheng?

In desperation, she used all her strength to fight off Fang Zheng, then slipped into the alley and, relying on her familiarity with the area, hid behind the gate of an abandoned house.

But as the drug gradually took effect, she became confused and infatuated…
