CHAPTER 637: CHAPTER 129: SETTLING SCORES AFTER THE HARVEST

"Has the deposit been paid?" Tian Yitu asked impatiently.

He had long been displeased with Manager Chu, who seemed to be there to help him, but in private, was sent by his own father, who was perennially absent, to monitor him.

On normal days, this old woman would also throw her weight around in the shop, constantly meddling with his affairs, a thorn in his eye. Tian Yitu had long wanted to kick her out.

If it weren’t for the fact that she was Chu Yu’s mother, which allowed him to have more opportunities to see Chu Yu, Tian Yitu would have ordered her dismissal long ago.

"This... no, there hasn’t been," Yun Sheng only had tens of thousands of Gold Coins with her, which she needed to spend on some basic medicinal materials, so Manager Chu didn’t take a deposit from her.

At that time, Manager Chu hadn’t anticipated that a second customer would take an interest in that stone so quickly.

"Then that settles it. Without a deposit, it’s all empty talk. This stone goes to Ms. Chen," said Tian Yitu, ordering the stone to be wrapped up.

"Eldest Young Master, if you do this and the mansion finds out, it might lead to unrest," Manager Chu was a person of her word, having promised Yun Sheng, she would certainly fulfill it.

The "mansion" that Manager Chu referred to was none other than the Young Madam of Tian Yitu.

This Young Madam was famously ferocious, and had made quite a scene previously over the Eldest Young Master’s flirtations and dalliances outside.

Reminded by Manager Chu with such an insinuation, Tian Yitu felt a jolt in his heart.

He thought again, if the beauty by his side got the stone, it would sever ties with him, wouldn’t he be at a loss then?

But if he had promised the beauty and didn’t deliver, wouldn’t that be a loss of face for himself?

"Manager Chu, how has Sister Yu been lately? I’ve been thinking about her and wanted to visit the Arena to see her," Tian Yitu asked, neither warmly nor coldly.

Hearing her daughter’s name, Manager Chu’s initially firm tone immediately softened.

Manager Chu was secretly furious inside.

Tian Yitu was truly despicable, worse than pigs and dogs.

Chu Yu was her daughter, and the two of them had always depended on each other in Tianyi City Lord’s Mansion.

Chu Yu was blessed with beauty and by the time she was thirteen or fourteen, Tian Yitu, already married, had set his sights on her.

Taking advantage of Young Madam and Manager Chu’s carelessness, he had repeatedly tried to flirt with Chu Yu both verbally and physically.

But Chu Yu had sternly rebuked him.

Yet he was unyielding. On one occasion, he even took advantage of being drunk to feign confusion and entered Chu Yu’s room.

Fortunately, that night Manager Chu just happened to sleep in Chu Yu’s room, and her daughter narrowly escaped disaster.

Since then, in order to get away from the Eldest Young Master’s harassment, Manager Chu had no choice but to send her daughter Chu Yu to Sky Wings Arena.

Although the Second Young Master was no saint, he wasn’t interested in women. Compared to the Eldest Young Master, at least she didn’t have to worry about her daughter being wronged.

Seeing Manager Chu soften, Tian Yitu became even more smug and immediately ordered the stone to be wrapped up.

The stone was quickly wrapped and delivered to the front.

Chen Lianlian was secretly delighted that she had obtained the stone effortlessly. Just as she was about to take it, Tian Yitu’s hand blocked hers.

He didn’t forget to pinch her hands that were delicate and smooth as cream.

Chen Lianlian felt disgusted inside, but she did not show too much displeasure on the surface.

Chen Lianlian had underestimated Tian Yitu; he was certainly not one of those witless fops that Donghuang Lingling had encountered earlier in Great Zhou City.

A million-stone worth of treasure, whether it is a stone or not, is after all a treasure from Treasure Pavilion.

Tian Yitu was no fool either; with the opportunity of swan meat right before his eyes, how could he just watch it fly away.

"Ms. Chen, we hit it off at first sight. Why don’t we find a place to sit down and have a good chat? As for this stone, you needn’t worry. I will give it to you sooner or later," Tian Yitu put the stone into

his Storage Ring, pulling Chen Lianlian out of the Treasure Pavilion.

Chen Lianlian clearly showed her reluctance, but for the sake of that stone, she could only accompany Tian Yitu.

Manager Chu watched a few people leaving and shook his head.

The next morning, Elder Helian of the Mainland Magic Elite Camp sat in the inn.

In the past week, he had restrained his intense concern and hadn’t checked on the situation of the dozen or so Mages he brought.

In contrast, Elder Yu of the Continent Martial Artist Elite Camp seemed very carefree all day long.

He either sat in the inn, ordering a few pots of good wine and several delicious dishes, sitting for the whole day.

Or he wandered around in Sky Wing City’s Treasure Pavilion to see the most top-notch treasures on the continent.

This lifestyle was the standard mode of a tourist; Elder Helian, on the other hand, was not so composed.

And this morning, as soon as Elder Helian went downstairs to have breakfast, he saw Elder Yu and a Martial Artist from the Continent Martial Artist Elite Camp sitting together.

Elder Helian prepared to ignore them and walk away, but as soon as Elder Yu saw Elder Helian, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed him.

"Hey, Elder Helian, what a coincidence. Why don’t we sit down together for a simple meal? Don’t you want to know about your trainees’ situation?"

Elder Helian’s face was full of disgust, but upon hearing that there was news about his students, he hesitated.

It was this moment of hesitation that allowed Elder Yu to drag him to the seat.

The Martial Artist sitting at the table, who was the captain among the fighters Elder Helian brought this time, was responsible for gathering the survival conditions of the Martial Artists from the Continent Martial Artist Elite Camp over the past ten days or so.

"Greetings to both Elders," the Martial Artist, around eighteen or nineteen years old, looked very stable in handling matters, "Elder Yu instructed me to monitor the situations of other trainees from the Elite Camp. In the past ten days, all trainees chose to enter Sky Wings Arena."

This was undoubtedly true; those prodigious youths from the Mainland Elite Camp all shared one thing in common: they were highly talented and were the pillars of their families or states.

Rarely coming to Sky Wing City, naturally, they wanted to go to the Arena to see how strong they really are.

Moreover, they were short of money at the moment, and the best way to survive was to compete in the Arena.

Elder Helian was satisfied, thinking that now who would dare to say that the students from the Mainland Magic Elite Camp are spoiled and pampered!

"Oh, then tell me about their individual performance in the competition," Elder Helian glanced at Elder Yu, knowing that the other party would not be so kind as to gather news about his students for no reason, but curiosity got the better of him.

"Most of the brothers and sisters chose to join the Earth Wing Competition Zone, which is full of masters and best for honing skills," the Martial Artist reported a series of names.

This was no surprise to either of the Elders.

After all, Earth Wing Competition Zone was the most suitable for the trainees of the Mainland Elite Camp.

It was unanimously agreed upon by the Elders of both Elite Camps after participating in the training in Tianyi City.

Elder Helian, in his previous teams, also led the trainees directly into the Earth Wing Competition Zone.
