The things Jiang Chen wanted to buy weren’t special. With Yin Shuang’s help, it took him less than ten minutes to find them all.

Miss Yin Shuang, can we talk in private? I need to tell you something.
Jiang Chen decided to tell her the truth when he paid the bill.

Oh?

Yin Shuang was curious, too. She led him to a room prepared for clients.
Hopefully he won’t say those things to me.
Yin Shuang worried that Jiang Chen would confess his love for her. It had happened to her on more than one occasion.
Although she didn’t think Jiang Chen was such a person, maybe the warmth she had shown to repay his help had misled him and caused him to take action.
If that was the case, she would have to apologize to him.
It was true that Jiang Chen was very excellent. She admired his calmness a lot, but her identity made it impossible for them.
Besides, she had taken a liking to someone else, but that guy hadn’t appeared in a long time.

Miss Yin Shuang, this is just between you and me. Hopefully, you can keep it a secret,
Jiang Chen said seriously.

You don’t have to say it. I already know, but I have to say sorry to you.

Yin Shuang was more certain of what he was going to say and decided to act preemptively so that it wouldn’t end badly.

What?
Jiang Chen was puzzled. He looked at her confusedly.
Seeing him like this, Yin Shuang wasn’t so sure anymore. She flushed and asked,
Aren’t you going to say you like me?

If another woman had said that, they would sound like they were flattering themselves, but not her. Men would actually fall for her if they heard such words.
Jiang Chen smiled embarrassedly and shook his head slightly.

Ah! I’m so sorry. What a joke I am.

Yin Shuang, who had always been very mature, suddenly behaved like a little girl. She flushed, embarrassed.

It’s something else,
said Jiang Chen.

I thought… I said that because I’m in love with someone else,
Yin Shuang said shyly.

What a lucky guy,
Jiang Chen said, smiling.

But I don’t know where he is now,
Yin Shuang smiled bitterly. Then she shook her head and said,
Forget that. What were you going to tell me?


It’s about my identity,
said Jiang Chen.
Yin Shuang thought, Is he going to say he’s the young master of the Gaos, so he wants to purchase everything on credit?
It wouldn’t be a problem. As for who Jiang Chen was, all the groups with an information network in the Dragon Field already knew.

The guy you like must be a very excellent person.

Since she didn’t answer and looked absent-minded, Jiang Chen knew she was still thinking that.

Yeah. He’s a great guy, a panacea master actually,
Yin Shuang nodded. For some reason, she had told him of her crush, perhaps in order to relieve the embarrassment of the misunderstanding between them.

Here’s the thing. I have a Golden Dragon Card, but it’s not registered under my name. If I want to use it, I’ll have to expose another identity of mine. I hope you can keep it a secret for me,
Jiang Chen said, getting down to business.

Sure.
Yin Shuang wasn’t surprised. She was waiting for him to tell her he was the young master of the Gaos.

We actually knew each other from a long time ago. When we met before, I was in disguise, as Chu Yun from the Realm of Milky, also a panacea master…

While Jiang Chen was speaking, something suddenly occurred to him and he stopped in amazement. Could the panacea master Yin Shuang had mentioned be him?
He looked at Yin Shuang. When she heard him, she looked up in surprise. The stiffness of her movements and the expression on her face explained how shocked she was.

You’re Master Chu Yun?
Yin Shuang asked, as if she couldn’t believe it.

Yeah.

Jiang Chen knew simply telling her wasn’t enough. He changed his voice and said,
Miss Yin Shuang gave me Zhong Ling Mountain. I returned you the favor in the heaven-grade class.

As for his appearance, it would take him some time to change, so he didn’t bother. He changed his voice and handed her the Golden Dragon Card.
Yin Shuang felt like her brain wasn’t working. Even though she was strong-minded, the news had come too suddenly, and she couldn’t come out of her daze quickly.
Most importantly, she wasn’t sure whether Jiang Chen had realized the guy she had been talking about liking was precisely him!
Both of them proceeded to the next step in embarrassment.
Yin Shuang verified the card, charged him, and handed him the things he had bought. Then she watched him walk away with a complicated look, and said,
See you tomorrow.


Yeah.

Jiang Chen went back to the ground floor, feeling odd.
He had figured out the guy Yin Shuang had mentioned was him, but he couldn’t talk about it. He could do nothing but pretend it hadn’t happened. He gave the members of the Holy Sword Society the strategic resources he had bought.

President, this is too much.


Yeah, way too much.

They were very surprised. It turned out that Jiang Chen had bought the best. It made their treatment comparable to any elite team from a big group.

Stay alive. That’s the most important thing,
said Jiang Chen.
They were shocked. Even if the choice of joining the Holy Sword Society had been a gamble, the society had given them a sense of group identity.

Let’s go.

Jiang Chen flew to the Flying Dragon City with Ying Wushuang and the others. The secret treasure would be formally opened the next day.
It had been scheduled the next day not because the secret treasure wanted to, but because at sunrise the next day, the strongest practitioners of all the forces would work together to crack the tactical formation deployed at its entrance. Before that, no one could enter.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have had the whole day to prepare for the trip. Other people would have emptied the secret treasure.
It was already night when the Holy Sword Society arrived at the Flying Dragon City. The city was crowded with people. All the factions from the Dragon Field had arrived.
There was a ditch not far outside of the city, shining with multi-toned evening sunlight, very eye-catching during the sunset.
Undoubtedly, it was the entrance to the secret treasure.

You go into the city first.

Jiang Chen flew to the ditch alone, intending to see what was there.
As soon as he approached, he felt around ten strong energies aimed at him, seeing through him thoroughly.
But no one came forward to stop him. It was strong people from different groups here, restricting each other so that no one could do anything sneaky.
Jiang Chen pretended that he hadn’t found anything out. He flew around the ditch like a very curious person, then left, seemingly bored and having found nothing.
The strong people in the dark didn’t stop him. They just let him leave.
But in his heart, Jiang Chen felt very uneasy, since he had noticed one thing. There was an entrance to the small world in the ditch indeed, but the entrance had been exposed not because the parts that had once hid it had stopped functioning, but due to the effects of time. It was man-made!
In other words, someone had intentionally exposed the entrance to the small world!
Of course, it was also possible that someone unaware of the secret had exposed the entrance by accident and didn’t know how to recover it, so it had been found by other groups.
Either way, Jiang Chen had to be careful so that no one would die inside.
They probably wouldn’t be able to come back from this trip that would enter another world. He couldn’t be too careful.
