Chapter 2190: The News of an Acquaintance

Jian Chen did not seem to hear their words . He clenched the crude box tightly as he became extremely stern .

As a matter of fact, his hand that held the wooden box even trembled gently .

He had confirmed with a single glance that the violet peach in the box was a Violet Cloud Peach he had given to someone close to him when he left the Tian Yuan Continent for the Saints’ World .

Clearly, the peach in the box was a first grade Immortal Tier Violet Cloud Peach .

Even the crude box that held the peach was something he personally crafted in the past .

“Senior, please return the item to me,” the woman repeated herself nervously . The Violet Cloud Peach was in Jian Chen’s hand, but she dared not snatch it from him .

Jian Chen finally returned to his senses . He suppressed his excitement and unease and looked at the woman with a piercing gaze . He said sternly, “Where did you get this from?”

“W- why do I have to tell you, a- and that’s mine, so please return it to me,” the woman immediately became uneasy under Jian Chen’s piercing gaze .

“Sir, this is the imperial capital of the Thousand Leaf Empire . The Cui Spiritual Medicine Store belongs to the Cui family, one of the three great organisations of the Thousand Leaf Empire . Do you plan on resorting to violence in this store owned by the Cui family?” The shopkeeper’s voice gradually turned cold . He studied Jian Chen with squinted eyes . Although he could not see through Jian Chen’s cultivation and knew that he was a powerful expert, he still felt no fear .

The Cui family was one of the three peak clans of the Thousand Leaf Empire . They were an existence that could stand at an equal level with the imperial family . With the support of the Cui family, no one was bold enough to cause problems in the store within the Thousand Leaf Empire .

Afterwards, the shopkeeper looked at the woman, and undetectable disgust flashed through the depths of his eyes . He said firmly, “Lady, take back what belongs to you . The rules of the imperial capital are enforced here . In the imperial capital, there can only be fair trading . Actions such as forcing people or stealing are forbidden . Otherwise, it would be challenging the Thousand Leaf Empire and looking down on the empire . ” The shopkeeper directed his words at the end to Jian Chen .

Jian Chen ignored the shopkeeper’s words . His gaze towards the woman became sharper and sharper as a powerful pressure radiated from his body . He said coldly, “Did you steal this? Tell me, where did you steal it from?”

The woman was only a God, so she immediately paled under Jian Chen’s pressure . Fear filled her eyes as she said in a trembling voice, “N- no . M- my younger sister gave this to me . My sister didn’t steal it from anyone either . S- s- she said she brought it up with her from a lower world . ”

Jian Chen’s face immediately loosened when he heard that . Afterwards, his gaze towards the woman became slightly gentler . He glanced at the furious shopkeeper and frowned slightly . He said to the woman, “If you’re telling the truth, then I have close ties with your sister . It’s not convenient to talk here, so let’s go somewhere else . ” Jian Chen returned the box with the peach to the woman and made his way out .

The Thousand Leaf Empire was only an ancient empire, so he was not afraid that someone would steal the Violet Cloud Peach from the woman under his watch .

“She’s her sister? There are only so many females on the Tian Yuan Continent who could reach the Origin realm . I wonder who has come to the Saints’ World,” Jian Chen thought . He was eager to know who this acquaintance was .

“Hold on . Lady, here are a hundred high grade divine crystals . Please take it, and the heavenly resource in your hand will belong to our store from now on . ” The shopkeeper suddenly appeared beside the woman and directly shoved a small cloth bag with a hundred high grade divine crystals into the woman’s hand before quickly extending his hand towards the wooden box .

He had dealt in various heavenly resources for many years now, so he had already developed great insight . Even though he did not recognise the Violet Cloud Peach, he determined that this heavenly resource that was not of a particularly high grade was far more complicated than it seemed from its wondrous presence alone .

However, just when the shopkeeper stuck out his hand, another hand grabbed it tightly all of a sudden . Jian Chen, who had already left the store, suddenly appeared again, stopping the shopkeeper .

“You want to buy this heavenly resource with a measly hundred high grade divine crystals? You’ve sure done your calculations well . We’re not selling,” Jian Chen sneered . The Violet Cloud Peach contained Xuanhuang Qi . This was something significant that could not be exposed in the Saints’ World .

“You-” The shopkeeper was furious . Just when he was about to call out, he forcefully swallowed his words when he saw Jian Chen’s glare . He dared not say anything .

This was because he felt chills from the glare, striking fear in his heart .

“Let’s go,” Jian Chen did not stick around . He left the store after calling to the woman .

The woman hesitated before leaving with Jian Chen in the end .

Very soon, Jian Chen brought the woman to a remote region of the city . He looked at the woman deeply and said, “What’s the name of the person who gave you this?”

The woman looked at Jian Chen and hesitated . She was uncertain about the relationship between the person before her and her sister . If he was her enemy, she would be dooming her sister .

However, as soon as she thought about the situation her sister currently faced, she immediately made up my mind, “My sister’s name is Qing Yixuan . Do you really know her?”

“Qing Yixuan! It’s actually her!” Jian Chen was taken aback . He had never thought that the first acquaintance he would encounter from his homeland in the Saints’ World would be Qing Yixuan .

“I never thought that Qing Yixuan would have come to the Saints’ World as well . But it makes sense now that I think about it . Qing Yixuan’s talent was never poor . Under the poor environment of the Tian Yuan Continent, she was still able to cultivate until Saint King . Now that origin energy is gradually recovering on the Tian Yuan Continent, and the world there is connected to the Saints’ World, the cultivation environment has improved dramatically . With Qing Yixuan’s talent, reaching the Origin realm is nothing difficult,” Jian Chen smiled faintly . He was delighted .

It truly was something worthy of celebration to be able to reunite with an acquaintance in a foreign land .

Seeing Jian Chen’s expression, the woman finally confirmed that not only did the person before her know her sister, but they were not enemies either . She was relieved .

“Where’s Qing Yixuan right now?” Jian Chen asked .

“My sister’s situation is quite negative . She has been captured by the people of the Gus clan, so she’s in constant danger . C- can you save my sister?” The woman stared at Jian Chen closely as hope filled her face . However, she sighed in disappointment again as she seemed depressed .

The Gus clan was one of the three peak organisations of the Thousand Leaf Empire . They possessed a Primordial realm expert and stood on the same level as the imperial family . As someone who had come up from a lower world recently, even if Qing Yixuan knew people in the Saints’ World, it was impossible for them to be very powerful with her level of cultivation .

“What did you say? Qing Yixuan has been captured?” Jian Chen’s smile disappeared, and his face immediately sank .
