Chapter 329: Heading to Ansili

The mission accomplished, the three Patriarchs bid farewell to Chen Che. Chen Che only escorted the three to his own doorway before closing the door with a *bang*.

The three, their faces awkward, looked at one another and had no choice but to leave in silence.

"This little bastard really doesn't show any courtesy at all!"

Walking along the corridor, Li Shizheng said through gritted teeth; every time he thought of the dozen or so properties he had sent over, he felt a pang of heartache.

Han Bailing was quite composed: "Forget it, just consider it a loss of wealth to avoid disaster. At least this way we can save our lives, though from now on we'll have to live by watching others' expressions."

Zhou Xiangyun lengthened his stride and walked ahead of the two.

Li Shizheng asked: "Old Zhou, why aren't you saying anything?"

Zhou Xiangyun did not look back, saying with immense resentment: "That is my grandfather and I am his grandson; what is there to say about a grandson showing filial piety to his grandfather!"

………

Chen Che leaned against the railing outside the attic, watching the three Patriarchs walk out of the Forbidden City, board their cars, and leave.

He turned and walked into the room, coming before Wu Qingkui.

Wu Qingkui sat inside the table, flipping through the documents in front of her: "Did they cough up the Chen Family's things?"

"They coughed them up. Not only that, I also made them bleed heavily."

"I guessed as much. You really have inherited your master's true mantle when it comes to this kind of sinister cunning!"

Wu Qingkui looked up at Chen Che and smiled, pursing her lips, "What about the rest? Did they not mention the Six Harmonies Body Teaching?"

Chen Che analyzed: "They came today to show goodwill, so naturally, it's impossible for them to admit to any connection with the Six Harmonies Divine Sect. Besides, I feel they are also releasing information."

"What information?"

"I believe they don't know about the Six Harmonies Divine Sect. Perhaps they knew in the past, but they don't know now."

Chen Che analyzed: "The things Gu Yuanzong did were indeed not participated in by these three families. Otherwise, since Gu Yuanzong was so desperate to become a god, wouldn't these three have wanted to as well? So I guess either they were kept in the dark, or they simply didn't believe that Gu Yuanzong's method could lead to godhood."

"And I believe that although they are hateful, they still have a bit of brains. A mysterious organization like the Six Harmonies Divine Sect—once you get involved, there is only one final result, and that is being devoured."

Chen Che spread his hands, "So I think they have no connection with the Six Harmonies Divine Sect at all, at least not anymore. And Gu Yuanzong is the stupidest fool of all, believing the pie-in-the-sky promise drawn by the Six Harmonies Divine Sect and taking the path to godhood as truth."

Wu Qingkui pondered intently for a moment and nodded: "That makes sense. Then what is your take?"

"Have you seen the murals and the Heavenly Book Stele? Did you comprehend anything?"

Wu Qingkui asked curiously.

Chen Che thought for a moment and said: "I did comprehend a portion of the Artisan Technique, but regarding the path to godhood... I originally had some trust in Gu Yuanzong's method of absorbing True Qi energy to break through the limits of the Martial Dao Realm.

But after clashing with Gu Yuanzong, I can be certain that is not a path to godhood. Even if one can experience the thrill of transcendence for a moment, the end result is destruction."

"It seems that if we want to get to the bottom of this, we really must find the Taiyi Sect."

Wu Qingkui stretched, "What do you plan to do next? Are you going to look for the Taiyi Sect?"

"Yes."

Chen Che nodded, "Gu Yuanzong is dead, and now these three families are entirely under your control, Master Senior Sister. My revenge can be considered complete.

Since the Heavenly Book is related to my master, and the Taiyi Sect has inextricable ties to the Six Harmonies Divine Sect, I must uncover the truth. Besides, I am also very curious about what this world is really like."

"Good. Since you've decided, I will issue a letter to Ansili in the name of the Sovereign of the Great Xia Kingdom. Once you arrive there, the Ansili royal family will receive you."

Wu Qingkui remembered something else, "By the way, have your Master Senior Sister accompany you. In case anything happens, you two can look out for each other."

Chen Che shook his head: "Master Senior Sister, you are going to purge those three families next. Compared to me, you need Master Senior Sister's protection more."

"The people by my side are not just your Master Senior Sister; there is your Second Senior Sister, Luo Lin, as well as the entire Military Department and the Inspection Bureau. Furthermore, I am a Martial Artist of the Earth Master Realm myself, and I have the Yin Cold Body."

Wu Qingkui said: "And cleaning up those three families won't happen overnight. I don't intend to use forceful means either; the scale of those three families is simply too large. If we go head-to-head, it won't be good for anyone, so you don't need to worry about me. I have it under control."

"Since that's the case, then let Master Senior Sister accompany me."

………

A few days later, Chen Che and Xie Wanning boarded a private plane bound for Ansili.

Ansili is located at the intersection of the Western and Eastern routes; it is an ancient nation.

As soon as he got on the plane, Chen Che held a copy of *Crash Course in Ansili Language* and read it.

The pages were filled with annotations. He had been cramming Ansili language for these past few days. He hadn't experienced the pain of such studying for a long time, but fortunately, Chen Che was naturally intelligent, and after a few days, he had mastered most of it.

Xie Wanning sat beside Chen Che, and seeing his earnest expression, she did not disturb him.

She also opened a copy of *Customs and Traditions of Ansili* to browse, but ended up finding a note on the flyleaf of the book.

Xie Wanning opened the note suspiciously; the handwriting inside was very delicate, clearly written by a girl.

However, the content written on it was not reserved at all, and was even somewhat... lewd!

"Master Senior Sister, from today on, it's just a world for two between you and Little Junior Brother! We all know that although you practice True Qi and your body has been nourished, making you look like you're only in your twenties, you are actually thirty years old. It's time to experience the pleasures of being a woman!"

"I told you before, our Little Junior Brother is very capable, you know! And he knows so much; all sorts of moves and techniques come to him naturally. For a woman like you who hasn't experienced it yet, you will definitely be addicted after just one time!"

"Don't be in a hurry to scold me; I'm mainly doing this because I feel for you. You must seize this opportunity!"

"You must make use of those treasures you have on you. Also, you should change out of those monotonous cheongsams of yours. Since your figure is so good, you should show it off so that Chen Che will like it!"

"Oh, right, I know you're shy, and Little Junior Brother is busy investigating things, so he definitely won't have the heart for it. That's why I've prepared a few gifts for you; you'll definitely like them! Hehe~~"

After reading the note, Xie Wanning's face was already beet red. She cursed under her breath, yet she found herself inexplicably rummaging through her bag.

Sure enough!

She found a piece of clothing at the very bottom, if that could even be called clothing...

In Xie Wanning's eyes, it was completely just two pieces of cloth; it was impossible to wear!

Xie Wanning was full of disgust and hurriedly stuffed it back, then found a book.

The book was handwritten and bound by hand. On the monotonous cover, a few large characters were written:

Chen Che Usage Manual!

She opened the cover, and after just one glance, she immediately closed it.

"Hoo~ hoo~~"

Xie Wanning's cheeks were flushed, she was panting heavily, and her chest heaved violently; the visual impact that moment brought her seemed even more intense than taking a palm strike from a Heavenly Master realm expert.

Subconsciously, she glanced sideways at Chen Che beside her, who was still looking down at his book, silently reciting the pronunciations.

His lips opened and closed, yet they held an endless allure for Xie Wanning.

Seeming to sense something, Chen Che turned his head to look at Xie Wanning: "Senior Sister, what is it?"

"Ah... nothing, nothing, nothing!"

Xie Wanning hurriedly turned her head away, clutching the book in her hands tightly to her chest.

Chen Che frowned, thought nothing of it, put down the book, donned his eye mask, and began to rest.

Seeing that Chen Che had fallen asleep, Xie Wanning looked down at the user manual in her arms and cursed in a low voice: "Li Qingyan, you dead girl!"

Xie Wanning stuffed the book back into her bag and closed her eyes, forcing herself to sleep, yet her rapid breathing and the drum-like thumping of her heartbeat left her without a shred of sleepiness.

She opened her eyes and stared blankly, glancing at the book in her bag from time to time; after hesitating several times, she was inexplicably drawn to take the book out again.

She took another look at Chen Che, confirmed he was truly asleep, and only then cautiously flipped open the cover.

The content that met her eyes made her whole body tremble, and fine beads of sweat instantly covered her forehead.

Xie Wanning's heart hammered like thunder, her pretty face flushed as red as a cherry, almost as if it were about to drip blood, and for a moment, she could no longer hear any sounds around her.
