Chapter 60: Great Reward

After Sun Ruoxin spoke, she anxiously waited for Ye Chen’s response.

Ye Chen glanced at Sun Ye and asked, “Senior, are you going as well?”

Upon hearing this, Sun Ye slightly narrowed his eyes but still nodded. It was confirmed. Even someone at the ninth level of Qi Refining like Sun Ye was preparing to flee. This meant that Silver Moon Market was truly no longer a place to stay.

Ye Chen stroked his chin, pondering for a moment before asking, “When do you plan to leave, Senior and Senior Sister?”

Upon hearing this, Sun Ruoxin’s face changed slightly. His question was so detailed that she began to wonder if Ye Chen had figured something out.

After thinking it over, Sun Ruoxin decided to speak honestly. “We’ll be leaving soon.”

So soon!

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, feeling that things were even more serious than he had initially thought.

…

Sun Ruoxin anxiously waited. She was afraid Ye Chen might sense something and refuse to sell her the flying ship. After all, it was a matter of life and death. Even if Ye Chen liked her, he wouldn’t give up his chance at survival just to help her.

As for Sun Ye, he had already prepared to take action. When life and death were on the line, there was no right or wrong. If Ye Chen was unwilling, they would have no choice but to seize it. Such actions were perfectly normal for cultivators.

As Sun Ruoxin waited in anxiety, Ye Chen suddenly smiled. “Senior Sister, you’re being too polite! You’ve come all this way to ask me for help. I’d be more than happy to help. How could I possibly take your spirit stones? Since you need it, there’s no harm in giving the flying ship to you.”

As he spoke, Ye Chen reached into his robe. Pretending to take something from his storage bag. The next moment, he pulled out the small flying ship.

Hearing Ye Chen’s words and seeing the flying ship presented before her, Sun Ruoxin was stunned. She had initially thought that if she could buy it, that would be good enough. But she never expected Ye Chen to simply give the flying ship to her.

This was fifty middle-grade spirit stones. More importantly, at this moment, the flying ship represented not just spirit stones; it represented hope for survival. With second-tier demon beasts approaching, no one knew how many there would be. In such circumstances, staying here was tantamount to certain death. But the Transverse Canyon also had second-tier demon beasts lying in wait. Even if they wanted to leave, they couldn’t.

Looking into Ye Chen’s sincere eyes, Sun Ruoxin bit her lip silently. For the first time, a sense of guilt welled up inside her. Ye Chen liked her so much, yet for her own survival, she had taken away Ye Chen’s only hope of staying alive. This stirred her heart like a storm.

After a moment’s hesitation, Sun Ruoxin spoke up, “Junior Brother Ye, thank you…. But this flying ship is precious, and it would be hard to explain to your family if you just gave it to me. You should still take the spirit stones.”

Fifty middle-grade spirit stones was no small sum. Had it been any other time, Sun Ruoxin would have joyfully accepted them. But now, perhaps to ease her conscience, she extended the spirit stones toward him.

Sun Ye, standing aside, wanted to stop her. But after a moment of hesitation, he remained silent.

However, Ye Chen rejected her without hesitation. What nonsense! Accepting the spirit stones would turn it into a transaction, and Ye Chen couldn’t accept that.

Stolen novel; please report.

Without a second thought, Ye Chen turned his back, his tone cold and firm: “Senior Sister, you’re being too polite. If you insist on giving spirit stones, then I won’t sell it!”

His stance left Sun Ruoxin clenching her teeth.

At that moment, Sun Ye spoke up: “Ruoxin, this is your junior brother’s heartfelt gesture. If you refuse again, it’ll seem ungrateful.”

Although Sun Ye was surprised by Ye Chen’s infatuation with his daughter, willing to give away the flying ship, he couldn’t help but think that staying in Silver Moon Market would be certain death for Ye Chen. Even if Ye Chen kept the spirit stones, it would be a waste.

Since Ye Chen stubbornly refused, Sun Ye decided to take advantage of the situation. With this unexpected event, he would have to rush back to Green Cloud City early. And for his daughter’s entry into Green Cloud Sect, he would need to spend quite a bit of spirit stones. In such circumstances, saving what he could was necessary.

Sun Ye spoke up, and Sun Ruoxin, feeling the weight of the situation, reluctantly retracted the spirit stones. She still wanted to say something, but Ye Chen spoke first: “Since Senior Sister is in such a hurry, you should leave now.”
