Chapter 1733: 1733
Chapter 1733 (Raw 1744): A Good Person
After a long time, Xiao Chen put away the Dragon Pattern Cauldron and pondered the flower basket in his hands .
The exterior of the flower basket looked exquisite with its many fresh flowers . Aside from looking pretty, there was nothing else special about it .
However, Xiao Chen had seen the wonders of the flower basket in the Smiling Daughter Pavilion and naturally would not treat it as an ordinary flower basket .
However, it seemed that its effects were all flash .
Incredibly magnificent, filling the room with flowers, and presenting an excellent sword dance, these things attracted people to spend money .
Xiao Chen did not think much of this effect . If it were really useful, Jiang He would not have casually tossed it to me .
Could it be that there are still Spirit Jades in there?
There’s no point in thinking about it . Even if there had been Spirit Jades, Jiang He would have taken them all . How could he leave any for me?
Never mind, let’s refine it first . No matter what, it’s still a Dao Tool .
Xiao Chen sent his Spiritual Sense into that flower basket, and he immediately felt the world spin as if he had entered a maze .
There were countless exquisite and beautiful screens inside intersecting with each other and looking very complicated .
No matter what, Xiao Chen was trapped in there, unable to get out . He thought for a while and increased the strength of his Spiritual Sense, sending in some of his Soul Energy as well .
He prepared to force his way past the screens . “Rumble…!” He crashed through the screens, banging them down one after another .
However, this only resulted in him going deeper in . It was like an eternally endless realm .
How problematic!
Xiao Chen lost his patience and used his Spiritual Sense to cause an explosion . “Rumble…!” The entire maze exploded .
The many screens shattered like they were glass and floated in the air .
Xiao Chen started to smile . However, before he could complete the smile, it froze .
“Whoosh!” The shards of the screen all regathered, forming a brand-new maze that was even larger and more complex .
The more problematic thing was that Xiao Chen discovered that he could not pull out this strand of Spiritual Sense .
His Spiritual Sense was stuck inside . He could get out only by cutting it off .
However, this was Xiao Chen’s Spiritual Sense, which was related to his Soul Energy . If he cut it off, it would definitely affect his soul .
Damn it! This is bad . No wonder that Jiang He did not covet this .
Jiang He must have known about this from the start . Unless one possessed the strength of a Cloud Sea Star Venerate, one would not be able to break through this maze and obtain the control rights to this flower basket .
The flower basket was just a decoration when held in the hand, utterly useless . Even those mysterious phenomena could not appear .
How was this good?
Xiao Chen was caught between a rock and a hard place . If he cut off his Spiritual Sense, accepting his misfortune, he would have to endure the damage to his soul; however, at least his life would not be in danger .
If he did not, he would remain stuck trying to break this maze .
Hesitation was not in Xiao Chen’s character . He immediately made the decision and cut off his Spiritual Sense, coming back out .
His complexion paled, and he felt dizzy, his body swaying slightly .
Xiao Chen closed his eyes and held his head . After resting for a while, he barely managed to regain some vigor .
However, the injury to his soul would require a few days to recover .
While looking at the flower basket, Xiao Chen smiled bitterly . Before Jiang He left, he even left a trap for him .
Jiang He was indeed an interesting person . He looked very carefree with a smile frequently on his face but was actually very proud in his heart, unwilling to admit defeat, a careful and daring person .
However, Xiao Chen did not hate Jiang He . His feelings for Jiang He did not reach hate .
There was more of a rivalry between the two . That Jiang He could sense the saber intent in Xiao Chen’s body, verifying Xiao Chen’s identity as a bladesman .
Xiao Chen also immediately noticed the hidden saber intent in the other party . That sharpness could not be concealed from a true bladesman .
When two true bladesmen were together, competition was inevitable . Neither would be willing to admit defeat .
Upon careful calculation, there did not seem to be a conflict between the two . In reality, they already clashed more than once .
They could be considered to have clashed once in the Soaring Dragon Pavilion . Xiao Chen caused the other party to lose out, and Jiang He even ended up treating Xiao Chen to wine .
In the Smiling Daughter Pavilion, Jiang He sneakily stole the Fairy Basket and evened the score .
Earlier, when Xiao Chen and Jiang He fought against the three, both of them purposely held back, wanting to see who would reveal their trump cards in the end . However, neither of them did, so that was a draw .
“Like you, I look forward to meeting again, whether I make a move on you or not . ”
A smile appeared on Xiao Chen’s face as he put away the Fairy Basket . Then, he returned to the city to find Ling Yu .

Inside the Smiling Daughter Pavilion:
When Xiao Chen returned, the pavilion was empty and quiet, no longer as busy as before .
Xiao Chen, who knew the reason, did not feel surprised . After identifying himself, he found Ling Yu drinking happily in an elegant room .
“Martial Uncle, why are you back?” Ling Yu was startled to see Xiao Chen .
With a smile, Xiao Chen explained, “After escaping from the encirclement of those people, I did not want you to worry about me . So, I came back to meet you and, at the same time, say goodbye . ”
“Goodbye?” This somewhat shocked Ling Yu . “Martial Uncle, you are not returning to the Purple Flame Sect?”
Xiao Chen nodded and replied, “Exactly . I plan to stay in the Soaring Dragon Great Realm for a period before returning to the Grave Sea . ”
“How long?”
“Perhaps half a year, perhaps one year . ”
Ling Yu felt a sense of loss . However, he did understand . With his martial uncle’s cultivation having hit a bottleneck, he should have gone out on experiential training already .
This Soaring Dragon Great Realm teemed with experts . The truly incredible people of the nearby dozens of astral clusters were all here .
Actually, with Ling Yu’s martial uncle’s strength, this was the most suitable place for experiential training; the Grave Sea was too small .
Ling Yu thought of something, and his expression changed slightly . “Oh, right . Martial Uncle, something big happened in this Smiling Daughter Pavilion . ”
“Oh, what happened?” Xiao Chen asked despite knowing .
Ling Yu whispered, “Their Fairy Basket disappeared . That Fairy Basket is extremely precious . Without it, the Smiling Daughter Pavilion cannot continue operating . They need to wait for the headquarters to send a new one . Furthermore, the Fairy Basket is extremely complicated to make, with many steps involved, which will take a long time .
“The Soaring Dragon City’s Smiling Daughter Pavilion probably cannot continue operating…”
A ripple spread in Xiao Chen’s heart . However, his expression did not change . Unexpectedly, the commotion caused was so huge .
However, it was impossible for Xiao Chen to hand over the Fairy Basket .
He felt that this Fairy Basket contained some secret and was of tremendous value . In any case, the Smiling Daughter Pavilion would not be able to link it to him .
Xiao Chen asked softly, “Are there any clues to who stole it?”
Shaking his head, Ling Yu replied, “None . The person who stole it did not leave any signs behind . It is simply too strange . Right now, they suspect that a Holy-Venerate-level existence did it . After all, there is a Cloud Sea Star Venerate guarding this Smiling Daughter Pavilion . ”
Xiao Chen laughed in his heart . This assumption is really a huge mistake . Jiang He could even steal an important treasure of the Dragon Race, what more the Smiling Daughter Pavilion’s Fairy Basket . The important treasure of the Dragon Race definitely had peak experts of the Dragon Race guarding it . Those people would be at least of the Sovereign Stage Cloud Sea Realm .
“Sorry, some problems cropped up in the Smiling Daughter Pavilion, and I could not personally come and welcome Young Master Xiao . ”
As the two chatted, the headliner Ling Long walked over with an apologetic expression .
Xiao Chen felt embarrassed . When being treated so sincerely like this, he felt somewhat awkward .
However, he could not get exposed right now . He nodded and said, “It’s fine . I heard from Ling Yu already . Miss Ling Long, what are your plans?”
Ling Long smiled bitterly as she replied, “What other plans can I have? Naturally, I’ll return to the capital . When one is in the mortal world, one does not have the freedom to act independently . ”
Ling Yu felt sad to hear that . He blurted out, “Miss Ling Long, how about you follow me back to the Purple Flame Sect? Given Miss Ling Long’s talent, you definitely can become a true inheritor . ”
At that suggestion, Xiao Chen could not help thinking, After seeing and getting accustomed to a bustling life, how can she possibly endure quiet and loneliness?
In the end, my little martial nephew is still young and does not understand the human sentiments in this world .
Ling Long did not reject the suggestion . She smiled at Ling Yu and said, “Many thanks for Young Master Ling’s kind intentions . In the future, when there is no more place for me in the Smiling Daughter Pavilion, I will definitely remember Young Master Ling’s words . ”
Ling Yu smiled and said, “Not a problem . Earlier, Miss Ling Yu made arrangements for me to leave safely without expecting anything in return . Naturally, I, Ling Yu, will do as I said . ”
Ling Long smiled faintly before saying, “I would like to speak to Young Master Xiao alone . ”
Ling Yu looked curiously at his martial uncle . Then, he left the room as requested .
After Ling Yu left, Ling Long’s expression changed slightly . She said straightforwardly, “Your friend stole that Fairy Basket, right?”
Xiao Chen’s expression did not change, not showing anything strange on his face . He looked at Ling Long and asked, “Why do you say this?”
“It is just a suspicion . The timing of when he left us was too coincidental . It happened to be the time when the Fairy Basket disappeared . ”
Ling Long said seriously, “Don’t worry . I did not tell anyone . No one would believe that a Major Primal Core Venerate stole the Fairy Basket . ”
Xiao Chen felt surprised . “Why?”
Ling Long explained softly, “As far as I am concerned, there is no loss . Furthermore, I truly see Young Master Xiao and Young Master Ling as friends and do not want to cause trouble for you two . ”
Xiao Chen felt warm in his heart . No matter what, as long as Ling Long voiced her suspicions, the Smiling Daughter Pavilion would definitely interrogate him, which inevitably would be a little inconvenient .
“Many thanks . ”
“You’re welcome . If we are fated, let’s meet up in the Yanwu Dynasty’s capital . ” Ling Long bowed and turned around to leave .
Xiao Chen entered deep thought as he watched the other party go .
When Ling Yu came back in, he asked, “Martial Uncle, what did Miss Ling Long ask you?”
Xiao Chen did not answer the question . “Do you like this lady?”
Ling Long immediately blushed and countered, “Martial Uncle, why do you ask that?”
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, “Because even a fool can tell . If you like her, marry her . Miss Ling Long is a good person . ”
