Chapter 124: So He Likes Me!

Su Yuxuan was stunned. To be honest, she hadn’t expected Ye Chen to believe her when she played the sympathy card. After all, who would believe the words of someone from the Demon Sect?

Su Yuxuan had always been cautious when dealing with people from the Demon Sect. Yet, to her surprise, after hearing her sob story, Ye Chen actually seemed to believe it?

As she looked at the Foundation Establishment method and the spiritual material Ye Chen handed her, Su Yuxuan cautiously studied his face.

It all felt so surreal. Especially after the way Ye Chen had treated her the last time, leaving her to fester overnight, filling her heart with suspicion.

How could Ye Chen be so kind-hearted? Was he up to some new trick?

But the Earth-Dao Foundation Establishment method was right in front of her, and Su Yuxuan couldn’t suppress the yearning in her heart. She licked her full lips, both expectant and wary, and asked, “Senior brother, is it really for me?”

Ye Chen smiled. “Of course, it’s real. After all, you’re just a girl, enduring so much. How could I bear to not lend a hand?”

Su Yuxuan dismissed Ye Chen’s words as nonsense. Would he really give her the Earth-Dao Foundation Establishment method out of pity? Only a fool would believe that.

She tentatively extended her hand.

Seeing Ye Chen only smile at her, with an encouraging look in his eyes, Su Yuxuan warily touched the jade slip. Ye Chen still did nothing.

It wasn’t until Su Yuxuan had placed the jade slip and spiritual material into her storage bag that she felt her heart race, and her face flushed with excitement.

She had never expected to actually get the Earth-Dao Foundation Establishment method. And what’s more, it was the one that was most suited to her.

The exhilaration in Su Yuxuan’s heart was beyond words. In that moment, she only wanted to find a place to begin her Foundation Establishment immediately. As for why Ye Chen would give her such a precious Foundation Establishment method… was it because he truly believed her sob story? Or did he have some other intentions?

At this moment, it didn’t matter anymore.

Su Yuxuan immediately stood up. “Thank you, senior brother. With this Foundation Establishment method, my chances of achieving Golden Core have greatly improved. I will never forget your kindness, senior brother. Once I rescue my family’s souls, I will follow you, serving you with all my might, repaying you in every way possible.”

Su Yuxuan’s words of gratitude were smooth and practiced. After speaking, she made to leave. Clearly, her promises of repayment were nothing more than empty words to her.

However, Ye Chen smiled. “Already leaving? Since you want to repay me, why not do so now?”

He calculated the time—it was already evening outside. It would be better to wait until tomorrow to leave.

The formation in the secret realm had been compromised due to Bai Xunhuan’s efforts in gathering materials to set up the formation, leaving many vulnerabilities. Using a top-grade Breal-Seal Talisman would allow them to leave at any time. Since there was no worry about leaving…

Ye Chen figured he might as well collect some interest. Not a single word Su Yuxuan said was trusted by him.

Family? Repayment? People from the Demon Sect could even imprison their own family members in a banner, claiming that the stronger the resentment, the stronger the power. If you believed anything they said, you were a fool.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

But the reason Ye Chen was still willing to give Su Yuxuan the Foundation Establishment method wasn’t out of kindness.

It was because of a system reward. The system’s rewards were Ye Chen’s own business. But Su Yuxuan had received so many benefits from him. She would have to give something in return.

Ye Chen’s words made Su Yuxuan’s body stiffen. She wanted to flee immediately. After all, she had what she wanted.

But remembering Ye Chen’s terrifying speed during their previous fight, Su Yuxuan lost some confidence. Even if she used a Break-Seal Talisman to escape, she feared Ye Chen might interrupt her. With the Earth-Dao Foundation Establishment method now in her possession, angering Ye Chen could result in it being taken away.
