Chapter 337: Saving San Jin

Shang Yunwu and the other Military Academy examinees, however, stood in battle formation, prepared to suppress Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan cursed under his breath, but quickly looked at Chen Yan with a beaming smile and spread his hands:

"Those few hundred million points should be given to me. Look, I withdrew early, and you Military Academy folks gained the maximum benefit; I helped you, didn't I?"

Chen Yan waved his hand, signaling for Shang Yunwu and the others to continue their work.

He looked at Jiang Yuan with calm eyes:

"There is actually no problem with you taking those few hundred million, but is your goal really just those few hundred million points?"

Jiang Yuan said with a smile:

"Yes, my goal is just those few hundred million points. You all took several billion in total; me taking two or three hundred million doesn't really affect you."

Jiang Yuan directly ignored the fierce glares of the Military Academy examinees, his words sounding as if he had even deceived himself.

Chen Yan nodded, not bothering to expose Jiang Yuan, and said:

"I happen to have something to find you for; come with me."

Chen Yan arranged for the Military Academy examinees to search for the few hundred million points carried away by the arrows, then paced over to Jiang Yuan's side.

Jiang Yuan cursed under his breath; it seemed Chen Yan wasn't even willing to give him those few hundred million.

"Those few hundred million, actually, can be given to you," Chen Yan said, the two of them pacing above the void.

Jiang Yuan said nothing, listening quietly.

Chen Yan looked at Jiang Yuan:

"I thought you had already gone to the third layer of the Dream Abyss, but it turns out you were actually plotting against us."

Jiang Yuan frowned:

"Why would I go there?"

Chen Yan stared at Jiang Yuan:

"I heard that only you know the way to the third layer."

Jiang Yuan frowned even deeper:

"Who said that nonsense? I don't know at all."

Chen Yan watched Jiang Yuan quietly; this was the very sentence he wanted Jiang Yuan to say.

At this moment, he carefully sensed Jiang Yuan's emotions.

Subsequently, Chen Yan thought through and perfected all his countermeasures.

"Jiang Yuan, actually, there has always been something I don't understand," Chen Yan said.

"What thing?" Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow.

Chen Yan looked straight at Jiang Yuan and smiled:

"I killed He Youtong, and I also obtained that Youlan from her hands."

Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes; what was Chen Yan trying to do, dropping the act entirely?

"You can tell Honorable Chen that I killed He Youtong.

I am deeply devoted to Xi Yuan, and killing He Youtong was because I saw that she was not loyal to Xi Yuan in her heart."

Chen Yan smiled.

"Pfft..." Jiang Yuan laughed outright, looking at Chen Yan, his shoulders shaking uncontrollably.

He suddenly discovered that Chen Yan had a flaw as well.

He couldn't lie.

You like Chen Xiyuan?

You have probably already killed Chen Xiyuan a thousand or ten thousand times in your heart.

But Jiang Yuan did not expose him, and Chen Yan continued to narrate on his own:

"But on the very night I seized the Youlan, Yu Changsheng arrived and snatched it away directly. Isn't that a coincidence?"

Chen Yan looked at Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan was startled:

"Yu Changsheng snatched away the Youlan?"

"Stop pretending!" Chen Yan let out a low shout, looking at Jiang Yuan with full fury:

"The one Yu Changsheng took must be fake."

Jiang Yuan said nothing.

Chen Yan looked coldly at Jiang Yuan and continued:

"The Youlan is inside the stone wall; of course I could see that sentence too.

It's just that things were too intense that day, and I didn't react to the meaning of that poem at all.

By the time I realized it the next day, that poem had been destroyed by someone.

Who do you say destroyed it?"

Jiang Yuan was startled:

"I don't know."

Fury appeared in Chen Yan's eyes:

"Jiang Yuan, stop pretending. The Youlan was taken by you."

Jiang Yuan sneered, waved one hand, and a cowhide paper book appeared in his hand:

"It was indeed taken by me, but this is a fake."

He looked at Chen Yan; he had been planning to ask Chen Yan about the fake 【Youlan】 matter himself.

As it turned out, Chen Yan had actually come to question him first.

"Is the Youlan truly inside the stone wall?" Chen Yan reached out with one hand, but Jiang Yuan did not dodge at all, and this fake 【Youlan】 was grasped in Chen Yan's hand.

Chen Yan flipped through it and frowned:

"If this is fake, then where is the real one?"

"You're asking me?" Jiang Yuan hissed:

"What did those one hundred missing Military Guards go to do?"

"To escort people back to Zhan Tu Village."

"What kind of people?"

"Humanity being farmed on the second level of the Dream Abyss."

"You saved them?"

"Yes."

"How did you save them?" Jiang Yuan's brow furrowed deeply.

"Jiang Yuan!" Chen Yan hissed:

"Regardless of whether this Youlan is real or fake, once we get out, when Honorable Chen asks me, I will say that the Youlan was inside the stone wall.

The only one who will obtain the real Youlan will be you!"

Jiang Yuan hissed:

"What I got is fake!"

"You want to embezzle the real Youlan, so you faked a false one," Chen Yan said:

"I cannot enter the stone palace; all control lies with you."

Jiang Yuan was left speechless, just staring at Chen Yan.

He was cursing incessantly in his heart.

He truly hadn't obtained it, and he suspected Chen Yan had.

As a result, under Chen Yan's rhetoric, he, Jiang Yuan, had instead become the culprit.

The key was, if he were Chen Xiyuan,

he might actually have believed Chen Yan more.

"Chen Yan, you don't possess Qi and blood, do you?" Jiang Yuan asked, squinting his eyes.

Chen Yan looked at Jiang Yuan:

"I wish I did."

His expression was calm, and he stared back at Jiang Yuan for a long time.

Jiang Yuan squinted his eyes and said:

"Chen Yan, what exactly are you trying to do?"

"I want the real Youlan!" Chen Yan said.

"I don't have it!" Jiang Yuan hissed, growing impatient:

"I already told you, I f***ing..."

"Take me to the third level of the Dream Abyss," Chen Yan said directly:

"After this, I will keep your secret."

Jiang Yuan sneered.

Chen Yan had been talking for so long just to coerce him into taking him to the third level.

Fine, fine, fine.

So you want to play this game.

"I don't know how to get to the third level."

"No, you do," Chen Yan said:

"This is information I obtained a long time ago; it cannot be false."

The moment Chen Yan's voice fell.

Jiang Yuan was stunned.

At this moment, his gaze became exceptionally grave, more grave than ever before:

"You know everything?!"

"Yes." Chen Yan did not know what Jiang Yuan was referring to, but he could only nod at this moment.

He had to go to the third level.

San Jin had blocked the initial threat from Yu Changsheng for him.

The reason San Jin was trapped on the third level was because of Chen Yan.

This was something Chen Yan had to do.

However, the smile on Jiang Yuan's face gradually disappeared, and he looked at Chen Yan and said:

"Since you want to go, I won't stop you. Are you going to save San Jin?"

"Yes," Chen Yan said, feeling more and more that Jiang Yuan was extremely mysterious.

"Good," Jiang Yuan nodded, a familiar smile reappearing on his face:

"However, the third level is extremely dangerous. That San Jin is much stronger than you, yet still couldn't get out."

"You don't need to worry about that."

Chen Yan looked at Jiang Yuan, then brought Jiang Yuan to a spot where the Military Guards were.

He said a word to Shang Yunwu, and then Shang Yunwu took out a light orb containing three hundred million Dao-Severing Points and handed it to Jiang Yuan.

The Military Guards said nothing.

They were going to split several billion Dao-Slaying Points; with the total amount short by three hundred million, the difference when split among individuals was actually not that significant.

Moreover, these Dao-Slaying Points were all obtained by Chen Yan; for Chen Yan to take only 1.5 billion for himself was already quite generous.

Jiang Yuan accepted this orb, feeling somewhat surprised.

Chen Yan had actually done what he said he would.

With a thought, Chen Yan took out a jade box and handed it to Shang Yunwu:

"This is a Morning Star-grade Grade A precious medicine I exchanged for with three hundred million Dao-Slaying Points. I checked its medicinal properties; it can be divided equally.

Consider it compensation for those three hundred million points."

Shang Yunwu frowned and hurriedly waved his hands:

"Fushan, no need, we really have enough."

The other Military Martial examinees were also extremely surprised and spoke up one after another.

"No," Chen Yan shook his head:

"The three hundred million points for Jiang Yuan were my own private action, unrelated to the overall interests."

Chen Yan spoke very bluntly, but Shang Yunwu was adamant about not wanting it.

Some Military Martial examinees stood up, clearly indicating they would not accept this precious medicine worth three hundred million points.

Chen Yan sighed inwardly, preparing to leave directly with Jiang Yuan.

"Fushan, where are you going?" Shang Yunwu asked.

Gaze after gaze also turned toward Chen Yan.

"Dream Abyss," Chen Yan said:

"The third level."

Everyone was stunned, and Shang Yunwu was about to stop him.

Shen Youning looked at Chen Yan and said:

"Be careful."

"Alright," Chen Yan nodded and stepped away immediately.

Many Military Martial Guard examinees felt immense emotion.

It seemed Chen Yan had never really been working together with them.

This was what a powerful person was like.

It was actually very difficult for those beside him to keep up with Chen Yan's pace.

Top-tier prodigies reveal their brilliance from the very beginning.

After so many years, it was still those same people.

Lu Xunyang, Chen Changyuan, Zhang Ting, Shen Yiwei, Chen Min...

Now, it seemed there would have to be a Chen Yan as well.

Jiang Yuan took this scene in, then looked toward the Military Martial Guards in the distance.

He sighed inwardly, thinking Chen Yan had calculated human nature perfectly.

Not only did he make the entire Military Martial Guard feel indebted to him, but he also hadn't lost anything himself.

The military is truly good.

People's hearts are simple.

He was about to speak, but Chen Yan beside him waved one hand, and the iron box containing the Morning Star-grade Grade A precious medicine was tossed out by him.

It flew to the side of the Military Martial Guards.

Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow:

"Three hundred million points, you just give them up like that?"

"It's not a question of wanting them or not," Chen Yan said:

"If I feel there is a problem with me continuing to hold these three hundred million points, then I might as well not take them."

Along the way, the resource allocation Chen Yan had received was actually not small.

For example, the Coiled Dragon Jade from back then; the entire New Dragon Guard split seventy percent, while Chen Yan took thirty percent alone.

For example, the financial support Zong Heng gave him.

Although these could not compare to the current three hundred million points.

But Chen Yan was not someone who didn't know how to repay.

If people help him, he helps them; it had always been this way.

If this heart is bright, then it must be without impurities.

Jiang Yuan was stunned, then laughed softly:

"Those who think like you are only a minority; I know many people whose greed makes even me feel admiration."

Chen Yan walked forward quietly:

"Giving you three hundred million points is not because I have something to ask of you."

Jiang Yuan was taken aback.

But he heard Chen Yan continue.

"It is because that day I was being hunted by Xue Qi, and you fired an arrow to help me block Xue Qi."

Jiang Yuan was silent for a long time, then smiled.

PS: I see many people saying this is filler; everyone, please stockpile the chapters and read them after the College Entrance Exam Secret Realm.

Some plot points are filler, but they must be written; the plot of suppressing ten thousand people is actually a small climax when read in one continuous flow.

But those who follow the daily updates will feel it is filler.
