When the two people bade farewell, Jun Tianyu gave Ye Yuan a keepsake. As long as Ye Yuan crushed the token, Jun Tianyu would rush over very quickly.
It was just that Ye Yuan also did not expect to actually use it so quickly.
Jun Tianyu said with a smile, “This Jun killing a person, who dares to say anything? Since I’m here, I’ll accompany you to go and meet Luo Fang.”
“Alright. I’ll have to trouble Senior Jun then,” Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said.
Jun Tianyu waved his hand and said, “What’s Master Ye being courteous with me for? Don’t keep calling Senior Jun. If Master Ye doesn’t mind, just call me elder brother will do.”
Ye Yuan said with a laugh, “Haha, okay, Big Brother Jun! En, Big Brother Jun don’t keep calling Master Ye either. Directly call me Ye Yuan or younger brother will do.”
Jun Tianyu laughed loudly and said, “Haha, Younger Brother Ye!”
Right at this time, a powerful aura came over from the Commander Manor’s direction. In a blink of an eye, it arrived in front.
“Who is it? To actually dare act wildly in my city guards’ main camp? Yii? Jun Tianyu, it’s you?”
“Luo Fang, your subordinate wants to kill my brother. I’ve already helped you clean up your household,” Jun Tianyu said overbearingly.
Luo Fang’s face darkened, and he said, “Jun Tianyu, aren’t you a little too arrogant? Even if I want to clean up my household, when is it your turn to make a move?”
Jun Tianyu said coolly, “Killed him means I killed him. What do you want?”
“You! Jun Tianyu, if you don’t give me an account today, the two of us aren’t done!”
Luo Fang looked at Song Pan’s corpse, enraged until he was blowing smoke from all seven orifices.
Jun Tianyu was seriously not giving any face, killing his own subordinate in his own territory. If this spreads out, how would he, this head commander, command the troops?
Jun Tianyu said coolly, “If it were normally, I wouldn’t be inclined to bother with you. But today, I’ll make an exception and give you an account. He’s called Ye Yuan, my wife’s savior. Very soon, he’ll be your benefactor too. Just now, this subordinate of yours wanted to kill Ye Yuan. Do you think my reason to kill him . . . is enough or not?”
Luo Fang’s expression changed, and he said, “What?! Your wife’s illness . . . is healed?”
As the city guards’ head commander, Luo Fang was naturally aware of Liu Yiru’s illness.
In this recent one year, Jun Tianyu had been searching for famous doctors for her every day, even going to other cities to find powerful alchemists. But there were no results.
Now, Liu Yiru’s sickness was actually treated by a boy still wet behind his ears!
Everyone in Ancient Opulence City all knew that Jun Tianyu loved his wife dearly. If this was a reason, then it really was justifiable.
Jun Tianyu smiled and said, “Does Commander Luo feel that I would joke around with this sort of thing? Ye Yuan was planning on treating your chronic illness by coming to the main camp today. Who knew that this subordinate of yours actually wanted to kill him. What’s wrong with me helping you clean up your household?”
Luo Fang’s expression changed slightly, and he could not resist shooting a glance at Song Pan’s corpse once more. But this time, there was no sympathy at all.
Deserved to die!
It was just that he was still half-believingly and half-doubtful about Jun Tianyu’s words and asked, “This . . . He, a measly little Divine Traversing Realm, really have this kind of capability?”
Jun Tianyu could not help laughing as he said, “Your expression right now is exactly the same as when I met him for the first time! Whether or not he has the ability, what I say doesn’t count. Just try, and you’ll know!”
“This . . . Fine then. Please!”
. . . . . .
“What? You say that Song Pan was killed by Jun Tianyu?” Gu Hong was alarmed until his voice and countenance changed when he heard this news.
“Yes. Song Pan had yet to take action, and Jun Tianyu actually rushed there already! Looks like he gave that punk some message token,” the retainer said.
Gu Hong felt that his head was about to explode. Just what kind of monster was this Ye Yuan? To actually be able to make Jun Tianyu, this kind of character, willingly come forward for him?
“How can a brat who just ascended have such heaven-defying means? Jun Tianyu’s wife was practically sentenced to death already. He could actually bring her back to life?”
Gu Hong was depressed to the extreme in his heart. This outcome clearly exceeded his expectations too much.
“Not just Jun Tianyu’s wife. The Sun Family’s mission, Commander Luo Fang’s mission, he completed all of them! Intel just came from over there, not only did Commander Luo Fang not blame Ye Yuan, he sent him and Jun Tianyu outside the main camp with a big smile instead. The three people addressed each other with great familiarity like they were blood brothers.”
“. . . . . .”
Gu Hong was speechless.
Chapter 720 - Regaining Face

“Oh, Gu Hong, I heard that an extremely formidable alchemist appeared in the city recently and already treated quite a few illnesses that nobody was able to treat, yes or no?” the Gu Family’s Family Head, Gu Changshun said.
It had already been five day’s time since Ye Yuan ascended. In these five days, Ye Yuan already completed all of the missions he took on without failing a single one!
These few missions were all famous difficult and peculiar diseases in the city, virtually missions determined impossible to complete.
Ye Yuan, this alchemist who emerged explosively actually resolved all of the missions one by one. It could be imagined how great a stir it caused in Ancient Opulence City.
Gu Changshun also heard this news today, then called Steward Gu Hong over immediately to ask about the situation.
The moment Gu Hong heard, his heart involuntarily thumped, thinking to himself, it indeed still came.
“Ah? There . . . . There . . . was such a thing? This lowly one didn’t go out these two days and really haven’t a clue that such a major thing happened in the city! But I reckon that these are all rumors, right? It’s fine if it’s treating one, but treating a whole bunch is a little too exaggerated, right? I reckon it’s that alchemist bragging himself in order to draw attention.” Gu Hong exercised his wits.
At this time, Gu Hong could only drag it out as long as he could.
But Gu Changshun shook his head and said, “It really isn’t like that! Today, when I went to City Lord Manor to meet City Lord, His Excellency, I just happened to bump into Luo Fang. He told me personally that the chronic illness he was plagued with for over a decade was treated by that alchemist. With Luo Fang’s character, if the other party didn’t have genuine skill, he would not praise unceasingly like so!”
Gu Hong was bitter in his heart. But since Gu Changshun already said until like this, he could only follow up, “Like that huh. Since even Commander Luo said so, then it probably won’t be wrong! I wonder who is it, to actually have such capability?”
Gu Changshun said, “Heard that it’s even a young man who just ascended a couple of days, called, er, Ye Yuan. Gu Hong, you go and find that Ye Yuan. Regardless of what kind of price you have to pay, you must invite him over! Perhaps, he can really treat Xuan-er’s illness!”
Gu Hong was naturally a hundred times unwilling in his heart. It was just that Gu Changshun’s words, how could he dare to defy?
He could only acknowledge at once, “Yes, Family Head!”
Coming out from Gu Changshun there, Gu Hong was anxious like an ant on a hot pan.
He never would have thought that in the end, he actually really had to go and beg Ye Yuan!
The conversation that day was still vivid in his mind. At that time, he was very scornful of Ye Yuan.
But a few days passed, Ye
Yuan actually directly became an esteemed guest among the city’s upper echelons!
Now, even Family Head actually heard of his reputation before.
Forced to go, he, Gu Hong, could not swallow this insult!
If he did not go, he could not give an account over on Family Head’s side here too!
For a moment, Gu Hong fell into a dilemma.
The most crucial thing was that even if he threw out this old face, would Ye Yuan give him this face?
He did not leave any leeway at all on that day and already thoroughly offended Ye Yuan badly. Now, going to beg him once more, wasn’t it reaching his face out for people to hit?
Gu Hong felt that he had been wronged. Who could have thought that a Divine Traversing Realm boy actually had such enigmatic strength?
If it were others, they wouldn’t give Ye Yuan any good attitude on that day too, right?
Thinking it over, Gu Hong finally stomped his feet and went out of the Gu Family’s gates.
No matter what method he used, Gu Hong must invite Ye Yuan over today.
Otherwise, if this matter were made known to Family Head, he would be dead for sure!
. . . . . .
Five day’s time, Ye Yuan did the missions and obtained a total of 3000 merit points.
These 3000 merit points had 20% deducted by City Lord Manor, leaving 2400 merit points.
Ye Yuan gave over half of the merit points to White Light and spend another 500 merit points to buy a residence in the city, but was only left with 700 merit points.
“This merit points is really hard to earn. Took a lot of trouble and ran around for five days and actually only earned 700 merit points. Wanting to obtain freedom is really not an easy thing!” Ye Yuan said with vicissitude of emotions.
By the side, Jun Tianyu could not suppress laughter as he said, “Younger Brother Ye, if these words of yours were heard by the other ascenders, they would probably vomit blood from anger! These 700 merit points, they have to use one to two year’s time before they are able to pool it together. And you, only used five days!”
“Brother Ye must be joking. Your Big Brother Jun lurked in Ancient Opulence City for close to a hundred year’s time, and his entire assets are merely just several hundred thousand of merit points too. At this rate you earn merit points, in a few years, you’ll be able to surpass him!” Liu Yiru covered her mouth and laughed.
“That’s right. Brother Ye, stop boasting in front of me! Lord Jun’s assets are plentiful, but I, this sort of impoverished person, only have a few thousand merit points!” Yu Ming wanted to cry but had no tears as he said.
Yu Ming had a wide circle of acquaintances in Ancient Opulence City. That needed to spend large amounts of merit points. So over the years, he did not have much merit points on him at all.
Ye Yuan only used five day’s time and the merit points earned was already about the same as him. This was indeed quite a blow.
Liu Yiru already recovered fully in these two days. Jun Tianyu brought her along to express thanks to Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “100 thousand merit points before one can exchange for freedom. This requirement is also truly a little sick. Those ascended martial artists basically have to waste 60 to 70 years of time here!”
Jun Tianyu said, “It has to look at strength and potential still! Some ascenders, once they adapt to the Divine Realm, their improvement will be very fast, only using a few year’s time and they will have the ability to go take on missions. Roughly around ten year’s time, they will be able to exchange for their freedom. As for those people without potential, give them a hundred years, and they might not be able to pool together 10 thousand points either.”
Ye Yuan nodded his head. It was indeed this reasoning.
“May I ask . . . Is this place Master Ye’s residence?”
The few people were currently chatting happily when a voice suddenly sounded out outside the door.
When Ye Yuan heard this voice, he could not help laughing and said to Yu Ming, “Big Brother Yu, this insult, I’ll let you vent it then! Whenever you’re satisfied, we’ll talk terms with him again.”
Yu Ming could not help freezing slightly when he heard that and looked at Ye Yuan gratefully.
He knew that this was Ye Yuan giving him the chance to regain face personally!
Gu Hong’s words on that day deeply wounded Yu Ming’s pride, and also thoroughly sobered him up.
These few years, Yu Ming had always been operating carefully in Ancient Opulence City, and also gradually build up a bit of fame.
But all the way until that day, then only Yu Ming deeply understood that turns out, he was still just a minor character! No one thought highly of him at all!
No matter how many things you knew, without strength, you would never get other people’s respect!
These few days, he followed by Ye Yuan’s side and saw Ye Yuan being treated as a distinguished guest by the bigwigs who he did not even dare to think about. He even saw Jun Tianyu kill Song Pan in a blink.
Only when one’s strength was genuinely powerful could one get genuine respect!
Even if he was just a penniless nobody, following by Ye Yuan’s side, he also obtained ample respect!
“Brother Ye, thank you very much!” Yu Ming said gratefully.
Chapter 721 - Winds of Fortune Change

“Hehe, Younger Brother Yu, I wonder if Master Ye is at home?” Gu Hong thickened his skin and asked.
Gu Hong was a servant to begin with. This skill of shamelessness was much more powerful than a bottom-level martial artist like Yu Ming.
Like previously, he was afraid of Gu Changshun’s blame and did not give Yu Ming face at all, finishing off Ye Yuan with a single blow.
Now, he had no choice but to come to his door begging. He even thickened his face and addressed Yu Ming with great familiarity too.
Yu Ming sneered when he saw the situation and said, “Isn’t this Lord Gu? Don’t address a lowly person like me as your brother so as to avoid lowering your status!”
Yu Ming had a stomach full of resentment towards Gu Hong. Not seizing this chance to regain face properly, how would he be liberated in his heart?
But Gu Hong did not care about the sarcasm in Yu Ming’s words at all. He still had an ingratiating look as he said, “Look at what you’re saying! I, Gu Hong, am merely a servant of the Gu Family, and I am also an impoverished person in this Ancient Opulence City. Why must Younger Brother Yu make things difficult for Elder Brother, me? I know that Younger Brother Yu is still unhappy about the incident that day. But Elder Brother also has difficulties, right? Today, Elder Brother came firstly to find Master Ye to take action. Another thing is to specially come and apologize to Younger Brother Yu!”
One had to acknowledge that this Gu Hong indeed had skills. The words said were flawless, lightly skating over that day’s incident.
If it were just a young and inexperienced boy, he would probably shed tears of gratitude immediately, addressing Gu Hong as his brother.
It was just that no matter how poorly Yu Ming got along, he was a wily old fox too.
For Gu Hong to want to pull the wool over his eyes so easily, how could it be something that easy?
“Heh, Steward Gu, don’t give me that! Whatever you have, quickly say! If there’s nothing, get lost straight away for me! Master Ye is very busy and doesn’t have time to waste on a servant like you,” Yu Ming said indifferently
Yu Ming felt liberated in his heart!
This had only been a few days, and all the face that chould be found were all regained!
Didn’t you make Your Father get lost on that day? Now, you scram as far as you can get for Your Father!
Didn’t you say that Your Father wasn’t on the same level as you on that day? Hehe, now, you’re the servant!
Several days passed, Yu Ming’s relationship with Ye Yuan already had titanic changes.
Even though Ye
Yuan kept calling him as his elder brother, Yu Ming had the self-awareness that he was on a completely different level with Ye Yuan.
Just take a look, what kind of people did Master Ye have dealings with?
Jun Tianyu, Luo Fang, Sun Maosheng, which one of them was not a major figure in Ancient Opulence City where the entire city would tremble when they stomped their feet?
But even so, Ye Yuan still gave Yu Ming a feeling akin to a breath of spring breeze.
Yu Ming saw clearly that what changed was only his own mentality. Ye Yuan’s attitude towards him was no different from the start!
So in Yu Ming’s eyes, Gu Hong was really just a servant, while his identity was much higher than Gu Hong’s.
Gu Hong was clearly coming with his back to the wall this time and was already prepared to give play to his shamelessness to the max!
“My purpose of coming, is Younger Brother Yu still unclear? This Gu wish to request an audience with Master Ye and invite him to take a look at Eldest Miss’s illness! Whatever terms there are, Master Ye can feel free to say.”
As he was talking, Gu Hong dug out a storage ring and handed it to Yu Ming, saying with a fawning look. “This is a small token from Elder Brother. Younger Brother Yu, please accept! After the matter is done, Elder Brother will still have a little something! I know that Younger Brother is a favorite of Master Ye. As long as Younger Brother, you, make an exception, this matter, we can settle it through discussion, no?”
Gu Hong felt pain in his heart!
He spent an arm and a leg this time in order to patch his relationship up with Yu Ming.
In that storage ring, there were one thousand low-grade earth essence crystals!
And these one thousand low-grade earth essence crystals was already one-fifth of his savings.
One had to know that low-grade earth essence crystals and merit points could be exchanged one-for-one.
Which was also to say that Gu Hong gave Yu Ming a thousand merit points all at once!
This was absolutely a huge sum!
