Chapter 1041: Is There Such a Thing?
Chen Chuan, Shen Hong, and Ye Haokong were all wanderers. They could have joined a sect anytime they wished, but they hadn’t done so yet.
Wanderers are often poor, yet there are also benefits to their way of life. If this weren’t the case, individuals as powerful as Xi Wuqing, who is in the Yuan Emperor Realm and also holds the Soul Tamer identity, would have been highly regarded in any of the forces across the six continents, three states, and one sea!
“Alright, just let me know the outcome whenever you can!”
Su Yi nodded, not forcing anything on the three of them, but secretly hoping they would join.
Given their possession of a mysterious space and valuable Spiritual Essence, their potential for rapid progress seemed limitless.
“Thank you, Brother Su Yi!”
Chen Chuan responded, but inside, he felt slightly uneasy.
They had only just learned that Su Yi was the leader of the Overlord Sect. However, today there appeared to be powerful, royal-level experts in the Overlord Sect—how else could they have caused such a disturbance between the Seven Star Sword Sect and the Golden Sword Sect in the square?
“Has Su Xiaoshuai not returned yet?” Su Yi nodded while looking toward the entrance.
“He should be back soon, but since the Nine Stars is vast, it may take a little while for him to locate the person from the Mysterious Sword Gate and return here,” Xi Wuqing answered.
Earlier, when the person from the Mysterious Sword Gate had left in anger, Su Yi, who had been on the platform at the time, had subtly signaled Xi Wuqing to follow.
At the mention of this, Su Xiaoshuai, who had been napping, immediately woke up and flew off, not bothering to wait for Xi Wuqing.
He was probably about to return.
Just then, the door opened and a small bird flew in—it was Su Xiaoshuai!
“Boss!” Su Xiaoshuai landed on Su Yi’s shoulder.
His voice startled Shen Hong and Ye Haokong, who were in the room.
“Demon… Demonic Void Realm?”
The two wanderers gasped in disbelief. This seemingly insignificant bird was actually a Demonic Void Realm powerhouse?
Su Xiaoshuai barely glanced at them, completely ignoring the two.
At that moment, several figures entered the room.
The first to step in was the tall and graceful sect leader of the Mysterious Sword Gate, Ji Tianfu.
Following him were Ji Hanluo and Yu Wenxuan.
“Little brother Su Yi!”
“Su Yi!”
Ji Tianfu and Ji Hanluo both smiled and greeted Su Yi.
“I was about to find you myself, but I didn’t expect Sect Leader Ji to come directly here.”
Su Yi returned the gesture with a smile, somewhat surprised.
“Haha, I’m not here for anything in particular—just wanted to congratulate my dear brother Su Yi for qualifying for a major event!”
Ji Tianfu spoke sincerely, though his eyes revealed a hint of complexity.
Ji Hanluo shared the same sentiment. While she was happy for Su Yi, she couldn’t help but feel upset about her own sect’s recent troubles.
“Thank you, Sect Leader Ji and Miss Hanluo!”
Su Yi nodded toward Ji Tianfu’s companion as a sign of respect.
Without wasting any time, Su Yi introduced Chen Chuan, Shen Hong, and Ye Haokong to Ji Tianfu.
This was his primary objective, something he wouldn’t normally take the initiative in doing.
But today, with the Mysterious Sword Gate having been targeted by the Green Dark Sect, and with Chen Chuan and the others having been deceived, Su Yi, knowing both sides well and having a good rapport with them, was happy to act as a mediator.
Soon, Ji Tianfu and Chen Chuan began conversing pleasantly and quickly agreed to work together.
Tomorrow, the Mysterious Sword Gate would have another opportunity to compete, and with Chen Chuan and his companions joining, their collective strength would be significantly boosted.
Ji Tianfu, Chen Chuan, and their group thanked Su Yi before departing, not lingering any longer.
Just before leaving, Ji Hanluo turned to look at Su Yi one last time.
Su Yi grinned and flashed a warm smile, making Ji Hanluo lower her head slightly before she quickly exited.
“Seems like that little girl has a soft spot for you!”
Xi Wuqing, who had been observing them, chuckled.
He glanced at Su Yi, whose face turned slightly red.
“That’s not true.”
Su Yi shot Xi Wuqing a dismissive look and turned back toward the room.
Ji Hanluo had assisted him on multiple occasions, once eliminating four guardians of the Golden Sword Sect, which she had secretly witnessed.
Another time, when the Golden Sword Sect and the Seven Star Sword Sect were relentlessly pursuing him, Ji Tianfu suddenly appeared and whisked him away, helping him escape.
Later, Su Yi learned from Ji Tianfu that Ji Hanluo had requested his help, indicating that she harbored deep feelings for him.
In truth, Su Yi didn’t dislike Ji Hanluo. However, claiming to have deep affection for her would feel insincere.
Such matters should happen naturally, as fate dictates.
Su Yi suddenly remembered the beautiful scenery within the rocky cave on the small island when he had treated the girl’s wounds. This thought stirred something inside Su Yi, who had little experience with matters of the heart, making him feel restless.
“Beast!”
Su Yi silently rebuked himself. How could he, someone so virtuous, entertain such thoughts? It was truly embarrassing.
“Hey, kid, what’s going on with you? Did something happen?”
Noticing Su Yi’s shifting expression, Xi Wuqing teased.
“Hehe…”
Su Xiaoshuai, along with the Green Emperor, Yin-yang Dark Emperor, Huang Jian, and Soul Devouring Emperor, all shared an enigmatic laugh, eyeing Su Yi as if they had uncovered some secret.
“No!”
Su Yi glared at them angrily, then stopped paying attention and began mulling over some things on his own.
“Kid, if you want to show goodwill to the Mysterious Sword Gate and those wandering cultivators, why not just give them the spots reserved for Overlord Sect? Especially those three wanderers. If they get those spots, they might even join the Overlord Sect.”
Xi Wuqing suddenly approached, took a sip of wine, and casually spoke.
The Overlord Sect had one spot for the upcoming big event, but Su Yi would be the only one participating. He could give away the remaining nineteen spots to others.
“Is that possible?”
Su Yi looked surprised, then his face lit up with joy.
“Great! It’s settled!”
Su Yi laughed, rubbing his hands together eagerly. His eyes sparkled with excitement, as if he were a hungry wolf eyeing prey. “This is going to be huge!”
The others stared at him, puzzled by his behavior.
“Boss, did you take the wrong medicine?”
Su Xiaoshuai quickly hopped off Su Yi’s shoulder, wanting to put some distance between himself and the crazy person.
Xi Wuqing, too, stared at Su Yi, bewildered by what was going through the boy’s mind.
“Hehe…”
Sensing his shift in demeanor, Su Yi grinned awkwardly, trying to hide his excitement. Then he turned to the others and asked,
“Our Overlord Sect still has nineteen spots available. What do you think would be a reasonable price if I decided to sell them?”
“What in the world? Can you even do that?”
Xi Wuqing and the others were shocked. They couldn’t fathom how Su Yi could be thinking of selling the spots.
But after some thought, this approach didn’t seem too bad.
Many forces had joined the alliance just to secure one of the coveted ten spots, but the competition was fierce, and most would be eliminated.
If the Overlord Sect suddenly offered nineteen spots for sale, many would surely scramble to acquire them.
As long as the price was fair, there was no need to worry about making a profit!
“How about one hundred thousand two-star Yuan Stones per spot? Does that seem reasonable?”
Su Yi couldn’t hide his excitement.
“That seems a bit high. Seven Star Sword Sect offered a reward of two hundred thousand two-star Yuan Stones for me, and even a third-rate sect wouldn’t offer ten thousand two-star Yuan Stones for a single qualification.”
Su Yi thought it over and began calculating in his head.
“Alright, how about 20,000? Any lower, and I’d start losing money.”
Su Yi muttered to himself, feeling that 20,000 two-star Yuan Stones would be fair and still profitable for him.
“This guy’s obsessed with money!”
Xi Wuqing and the others exchanged looks, helpless at Su Yi’s single-minded pursuit of wealth.
Especially Xi Wuqing, who had witnessed how much Su Yi’s personality had changed.
