“Where is Wen Nan Tian now?”
Yue Yao stepped out of the room and asked the group of subordinates guarding outside.
“Miss, according to our information, Wen Nan Tian is currently meeting with Lei Meng Sha and Luo Xuan, one of the eight princes of Beili. The meeting place is the Donggui Tavern on Longshou Street.”
A tall and handsome man in purple replied.
“Donggui Tavern?!”
“Yes, Miss.” Zi Yu Ji, known in the martial arts world as the Purple-robed Marquis, nodded and continued, “Wen Hu Jiu and Wen Nan Tian are too strong. Our people dare not get too close, so the content of their conversation is still unknown.”
“Send someone to follow them and make sure you find out the purpose of these two people coming to Chaisang City!”
“Yes!”
Zi Yu Ji received the order, instructed a guard at the door for a few words, and the man quickly left.
Yue Yao returned to the room and looked at the hazy moonlit sky after the rain, her eyebrows furrowed: “Could it be that the Wen family is also interested in the Gu and Yan families? Or do you have other plans?”
Even if Yue Yao racked her brains, she couldn’t think of it.
The reason why Wen Nan Tian appeared here was simply to run away from his second uncle to experience the world. There was no conspiracy or scheme. If there was any, it was only for fame.
Night, the Yan family.
A beautiful and rough-looking middle-aged man, with a distinct scar on his face, was listening to his subordinate’s report with a shocked expression.
“What?!”
“You said the people I sent were all killed by that boy named Wen Nan Tian?!”
“The people from the Lingnan Wen family, do they want to interfere in the affairs of the Southwest Dao?”
“Two of the Beili Eight Princes also came?”
Yan Bie Tian listened to his subordinate’s report, and he became increasingly incredulous.
Yan Qian Sui, the Needle Granny, and these other martial arts assassins were all raised by Yan Bie Tian at a great cost. Although they were not as strong as the Beili Eight Princes in one-on-one combat, they were not ordinary people either.
Together, even the Beili Eight Princes would find it difficult to kill them.
As a result, one Needle Granny at the Self-Reliant Realm and five martial arts assassins who had entered the Diamond Fan Realm were all killed in one move by the young man from the Lingnan Wen family, Wen Nan Tian!?
This was enough to shock him.
When he heard that Bai Mei Xiao Li, with over a hundred assassins, went to seek revenge, only to be wiped out in one move, Yan Bie Tian was no longer shocked, but almost dumbfounded.
Those were the masters that he, Yan Bie Tian, had painstakingly nurtured.
He was all too clear about how powerful they were.
Xiao Li had once boasted that even if a peak expert at the Tranquil Sky Realm came, he might be able to defeat them, but to kill them all, the expert would have to pay with a life.
Now, they had all been killed by a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy.
“Who is this Wen Nan Tian?”
“Is there such a person in the Lingnan Wen family?”
Yan Bie Tian suppressed his anger and asked.
The servant lowered his head and replied nervously, “Master, we’re not sure yet, but I’ve already sent people to investigate. We should have results soon.”
“Go investigate. If you can’t find any clues in the Southwest Dao, go to the Hundred Knowledges Hall to buy information.” Yan Bie Tian clenched his fist tightly around the armrest of the chair. The yellow rosewood chair was scratched by his grip, showing his inner anger.
After all, he had lost quite a few people this time.
If he didn’t find out who this Wen Nan Tian was and what he was doing in the Southwest Dao, he, Yan Bie Tian, would be unable to eat or sleep!
“Also, contact those people behind the scenes and tell them I need help!”
“Yes!”
The servant immediately replied and then retreated.
After he left, Yan Bie Tian angrily swept a teacup to the floor, then kicked over the expensive table and chair, roaring in anger, “Wen Nan Tian, you better not be trying to meddle in my affairs with the Yan and Gu families. Otherwise, even the Lingnan Wen family won’t be able to protect you!”
Wen Nan Tian, who was unaware that he had already attracted the attention of many, had a brief conversation with Lei Meng Sha and the Clear Song Gentleman at the Donggui Tavern before parting ways with them.
He knew what the Beili Eight Princes intended to do, but he was too lazy to care.
Instead, Bai Li Dong Jun and Si Kong Chang Feng were misled by the two and were completely lost. They followed Lei Meng Sha and the Clear Song Gentleman with excitement to a ruined temple outside the city to meet someone.
“Your cousin, is he being taken away?”
Wen Hu Jiu was baffled. Was this nephew of his a bit too naive and trusting? He dared to trust someone he had just met, wasn’t he afraid of being sold and still helping count the money?
“If you’re worried, Uncle, just follow along.”
Wen Nan Tian shrugged. Bai Li Dong Jun and Si Kong Chang Feng weren’t stupid, they were just young and curious. They had listened to Lei Meng Sha, the chatterbox, recount the grievances and feuds between the Gu and Yan families, and for a moment, their blood ran hot.
“Me?”
Wen Hu Jiu pointed at himself, looking helpless, “Then what about you?”
“Sleep.”
“I fought three times today, and I was also traveling. I’m tired.”
Wen Nan Tian said as he got up and walked towards the backyard of the Donggui Tavern. As long as Bai Li Dong Jun didn’t act foolishly and follow Lei Meng Sha and the others to assassinate Yan Bie Tian at night without sleeping, he would be safe. He was more concerned about getting a good night’s rest.
“Yeah, you’re right.”
“I’ll go to sleep too.”
Seeing this, Wen Hu Jiu also yawned, stretched, and followed him.
Wen Hu Jiu was still reassured about Bai Li Dong Jun following Lei Meng Sha and the others, at least as long as they didn’t cause too much trouble, there wouldn’t be any major problems. And Chaisang City wasn’t that big. If anything big happened, he could arrive there at any time.
...
Donggui Tavern, backyard.
Wen Nan Tian, who had unceremoniously taken over Bai Li Dong Jun’s room, couldn’t stop smiling.
His reputation value had been skyrocketing with each of his three moves.
System prompts like “Reputation value +100”, “Reputation value +200”, “Reputation value +300” kept popping up, it was simply too good to be true.
“System, open the personal panel.”
Wen Nan Tian thought to himself.
Immediately, a virtual panel only visible to him projected out.

“Defeating Gu Jian Men and Su Mu Yu directly increased the Deng Tai A template match progress by 5%, but killing the two groups of assassins only increased the progress by 1% and 2%.”
“It seems challenging masters is more effective in unlocking the matching progress?”
Wen Nan Tian thought to himself, looking at his 18% Deng Tai A template matching progress.
Today’s gains were substantial.
He had clarified his own strength level, gained enough reputation points, and the Deng Tai A template matching progress had reached 18%. Wen Nan Tian had a feeling that once the progress reached 20%, his strength would increase again.
“My current strength is enough. When the Yan family’s wedding takes place, I’ll publicly defeat the Yan and Gu families and even the entire Southwest Dao, and ascend to the top of the Southwest Dao. My Deng Tai A template progress might reach over 30%, and my strength won’t be lacking for now.”
Wen Nan Tian glanced at the system store. Over 30,000 reputation points seemed like a lot, but it wasn’t even enough to buy a pill that could take someone directly to the Self-Reliant Realm.
Poverty had permeated his life even with his cheat.
“Forget it, out of sight, out of mind!”
Wen Nan Tian closed the system store, pulled the blanket over his head, and went straight to sleep.
