“What earth-shattering benefit?” Chen Xiao immediately asked.
“According to rumors, after collecting the five Sacred Relics, one can open the tomb of the Eternal Immortal Emperor. Think about it, an Immortal Emperor! The five relics left behind are called Sacred Relics, so his tomb must contain even more treasures!”
“Perhaps upon opening the tomb, one can obtain the method to ascend to immortality!”
As he spoke, Tu Junhou’s face revealed infinite longing.
Chen Xiao, however, was indifferent, as ascending to immortality was not a difficult matter for him.
Seeing Tu Junhou’s expression, Chen Xiao immediately began to mock him.
“Don’t even think about it. You don’t even have a physical body anymore. You’re basically out of luck for ascending to immortality in this lifetime.”
“……”
Tu Junhou was speechless. Recalling the roller-coaster-like experience of the day, which ended with his car destroyed and his life ruined, he was overcome with sorrow.
Chen Xiao, after a moment of thought, asked as if casually, “Regarding that Chen Sihai, what else do you know about him?”
“This…”
Tu Junhou thought for a moment and said, “He is an extremely mysterious figure. He is exceptionally rare, capable of freely traversing between hidden sects and the secular world. Moreover, his background is mysterious, and his strength is unfathomably deep. Even my sect at the time knew little about him, otherwise, we wouldn’t have crossed him and ended up being annihilated by him.”
“…”
Chen Xiao said, “You’ve said so much, but it’s as if you’ve said nothing.”
Tu Junhou gave an embarrassed smile.
Chen Xiao ignored Tu Junhou and fell into deep thought.
Tu Junhou thought Chen Xiao was dwelling on the relationship between him and Chen Sihai, unaware that Chen Xiao’s interest in Chen Sihai was not that great.
What Chen Xiao truly wanted to know was the relationship between the Canglan Divine Emperor and the Eternal Immortal Emperor.
Perhaps the tomb of the Eternal Immortal Emperor would contain some clues.
However, gathering the five Sacred Relics would likely not be easy.
As Chen Xiao was lost in thought, Tu Junhou suddenly called out to him, “Mr. Chen?”
“Hmm?”
Chen Xiao snapped back to reality and looked at Tu Junhou, who was only about three inches long.
“Mr. Chen, do you have any more questions for me? If you’ve finished asking, might you let me go?”
Tu Junhou asked cautiously with a fawning smile.
“When did I say I would let you go?”
Chen Xiao replied coldly.
“What? Mr. Chen, I’ve answered every question you’ve asked truthfully and completely. Why aren’t you letting me go?”
Tu Junhou became anxious.
Chen Xiao sneered, “Heh, you’re only left with your Nascent Soul body now. Even if I let you go, how can you survive in this world?”
Tu Junhou paused, then waved his hand carelessly, “That’s none of your concern. I have my own ways!”
“Then let me guess.”
Chen Xiao said calmly, “You’ll possess the body of an ordinary person and live in this world as them. Am I right?”
Tu Junhou remained silent, but he clearly looked guilty.
Chen Xiao took out the Yitian Sword and shouted, “You stay in there obediently!”
With these words, Chen Xiao put Tu Junhou back into the space within the Yitian Sword.
Tu Junhou knew a lot of things, and keeping him might be useful later.
Even if he wasn’t useful, it was better than letting him out to harm others by taking over their bodies.
Thus, Chen Xiao’s objective in Hong Kong was completely achieved.
Although he gained some minor benefits, he also uncovered more mysteries…
However, Chen Xiao was unconcerned. With the Yin-Yang Jade in his possession, he believed that one day all these mysteries would be solved.
Next, he could go home. Before leaving, Chen Xiao had one small matter to resolve.
That was the issue of the He family’s assets.
He had initially intended to break up the He family’s assets and sell them for cash.
However, he soon discovered that this idea was completely unfeasible. The He family was such a colossal entity that very few people could swallow it whole.
Selling it for cash was somewhat wishful thinking.
According to the financial report provided by He Xinyi, the total valuation of the He family’s industries combined exceeded five hundred billion.
Even their liquid assets could easily amount to one hundred billion.
Such a behemoth was better left to generate wealth and compound interest rather than being broken up and sold.
Chen Xiao just needed to wait for the dividends.
Hearing that Chen Xiao was returning to the mainland, Wu Yufei excitedly approached him.
Chen Xiao asked her, “What’s making you so happy?”
Wu Yufei said excitedly, “I have a piece of great news. I won’t tell you yet, can you guess?”
Chen Xiao feigned thought and said, “If I have to guess, I’d guess your husband has agreed to divorce you!”
Wu Yufei was stunned and looked at Chen Xiao in shock, “Chen Xiao, you could guess that? How did you guess it?”
Chen Xiao thought to himself that he wasn’t guessing at all. He had already contacted Song Anguo and entrusted him with handling the matter.
Song Anguo did not disappoint and resolved the issue in a flash.
However, this was a trivial matter, and he didn’t want to explain much to Wu Yufei, so he casually said, “Apart from this, I can’t think of anything else that would make you this happy.”
“I can’t believe we’ve only known each other for a few days, and you understand me so well~”
Wu Yufei winked at Chen Xiao, “Sister is free now. In the near future, I will return to the film industry and dominate. You just wait to admire my brilliance on the big screen then.”
Chen Xiao smiled slightly and said nothing.
Seeing Chen Xiao’s indifferent reaction, Wu Yufei immediately brought up another topic, “Do you know why Zhao Hongyuan let me go?”
Chen Xiao shook his head, “I don’t know.”
“Guess.”
Wu Yufei swayed Chen Xiao’s arm as if coquettishly.
Chen Xiao was helpless and was about to reveal the truth.
At this moment, Wu Yufei suddenly pouted, “Forget it, forget it. You wouldn’t be able to guess anyway, so I’ll tell you. Do you remember Qin Susu? The woman who gave me the beads and plotted against me!”
Chen Xiao’s eyes flickered slightly, “I know, what about her?”
“Actually, she pleaded with Zhao Hongyuan on my behalf.”
Wu Yufei paused and continued, “Last time you told me she took my luck, I called to question her. Unexpectedly, she directly admitted it openly.”
“She felt guilty and very sorry towards me, so she pleaded with Zhao Hongyuan for me, asking him to agree to divorce me. This was to seek my forgiveness.”
“Tell me, should I forgive her?”
Wu Yufei asked indecisively.
Hearing this, Chen Xiao was utterly speechless.
He had met people who were carefree, but he had never seen anyone as thoughtless as Wu Yufei…
