East Return Inn.
Wen Nan Tian lay on his bed, his entire being radiating with joy like a simpleton.

He had made a fortune, a full 370,000 points of reputation.
“Hold it, hold it.”
“Calm down, calm down… I can’t calm down at all.”
Wen Nan Tian suddenly sat up, his mind constantly bombarded by the refreshing reputation value, making him unable to sleep.
Fuyáo Realm, 30% progress toward unlocking, which meant that he was not far from reaching the Great Fuyáo realm. His second uncle, Wen Hu Jiu, had asked him how long it would take to become a Sword Immortal, and Wen Nan Tian had thought a year was safe.
Now it seemed he had been too low-key.
Why would it take a year? Given ten days or half a month, he could directly ascend to the Sword Immortal level!
More importantly…
Close to 400,000 points of reputation, if he wanted to buy strength-enhancing pills, although he couldn’t afford the kind that could directly turn an ordinary person into a Fuyáo Realm, he could buy three pills that could take him from the Earthly Realm.
As for the other…
No, no, no, I can’t look any more, I will be tempted to spend it all.
Wen Nan Tian raised his hand and gave himself a ‘pop’ on his slumbering point.
If I can’t calm down, then physical calm it is.
…
The next day.
Wen Nan Tian was awakened by a series of collisions coming from the front yard.
His first action was to glance at his reputation value. After a night of fermentation, it had successfully broken through the 500,000 mark. His groggy eyes immediately sparkled with excitement.
After washing up, he went to the front hall.
Wen Hu Jiu, Bai Li Dong Jun, and Si Kong Chang Feng were already waiting.
Not only them, but also the four of the Northern Li Eight Princes, Xiao Ruo Feng, Luo Xuan, Liu Yue, and Mo Xiao Hei, who had been introduced yesterday, were all silently seated in the East Return Inn.
Wen Nan Tian reached the table and sat down in his seat, casually saying, “Injured again? You two, Liu Yue and Mo Xiao Hei, were you beaten up?”
“More than beaten up. We almost couldn’t come back,”
Liu Yue and Mo Xiao Hei exclaimed in dismay.
Who would have thought that their pursuit of clues would almost lead to their own demise?
Wen Nan Tian was slightly taken aback, “You two teamed up, and there are still people in the Southwest Path who can hold you back?”
Each of the Northern Li Eight Princes was as strong as an ordinary Fuyáo Realm, Liu Yue had even broken through to that realm yesterday, and with Mo Xiao Hei assisting, they were still so battered. If it had been before, wouldn’t the situation have been even more perilous?
Hearing this, Liu Yue corrected him, “It was three people working together. If they hadn’t retreated on their own, we really wouldn’t have been able to come back.”
Hearing this, Wen Nan Tian couldn’t help but understand, “The mastermind behind the chaos in the Southwest Path? You’re here early in the morning to remind me, or are you still not giving up and trying to stop me?”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present became inexplicably tense.
“Don’t misunderstand, South Heaven young master, we’re just here to remind you,”
Xiao Ruo Feng said, his expression solemn, he said in a deep voice, “After Liu Yue and the others tracked down the clues, they found the mastermind behind the chaos in the Southwest Path, but they were ambushed by two Fuyáo Realm and dozens of Earthly Realm experts, so we’re just reminding you, the Yan Family is not to be feared, but their mastermind might not sit back and watch you disrupt their plans.”
Two Fuyáo Realm, a dozen Earthly Realm experts?
Bai Li Dong Jun and Si Kong Chang Feng gasped in shock.
However, Wen Nan Tian didn’t seem to care as he sipped his soy milk, his voice muffled, “Last night, there were several Fuyáo Realm there, even more Earthly Realm experts, dozens of Diamond Mortal Realm, so what?”
Over 500,000 reputation points gave Wen Nan Tian immense confidence.
As long as it wasn’t a collective invasion from the Outside World, even if Wu Xiang Wu Zuo or Wu Fa Wu Tian came personally, it would just be a bloody battle. He was not afraid.
“This…”
Xiao Ruo Feng, Liu Yue, Mo Xiao Hei, and the others were silenced by this statement.
For them, the mastermind’s forces were indeed formidable, and they were almost caught in a life-or-death situation, but what Wen Nan Tian said also made sense. Didn’t he easily defeat a more powerful and numerous force than the mastermind’s last night?
“Indeed, we were overthinking.”
They shook their heads in wry smiles.
“You guys, you still can’t let go.”
Wen Nan Tian shook his head. They said they were reminding him, but they actually wanted to stop him. He couldn’t be bothered to argue. These were all good leeks he had his eye on. He needed to take good care of them.
…
Today’s Chai Sang City was exceptionally lively.
After Xiao Ruo Feng and the others continued to track down the mastermind behind the chaos in the Southwest Path, the ones who attacked Liu Yue and the others, Wen Nan Tian, Wen Hu Jiu, and Bai Li Dong Jun left the East Return Inn and headed towards the most lively place in the city. They walked along the street, occasionally passing by various martial world factions from the Southwest Path.
Another sound of horse hooves came. Looking at the flag with a double axe splitting the moon, Bai Li Dong Jun curiously asked, “Uncle, what faction is this? Why are there two axes and a moon on top?”
“Axe Moon Sect, a relatively weak sect in the Southwest Path. The sect leader is an Earthly Realm expert,”
“Five Tiger Banner,”
“Seven Killing Gang,”
“Divine Might Escort Agency,”
“Flying Sword Villa,”
Wen Hu Jiu had been a seasoned traveler in the martial world for many years, and he was familiar with any well-known martial world faction or gang.
Wen Nan Tian also nodded from time to time, “As for those that even your second uncle doesn’t recognize, they’re either not famous or new forces, they pose no threat. Dong Jun, you don’t need to know them.”
The ones Wen Hu Jiu had mentioned were the most powerful factions in the Southwest Path.
The rest were either too weak or new forces without much fame. They might be considered important in the Southwest Path, but in the world at large, they were nothing special.
“Huh?”
Wen Nan Tian and Wen Hu Jiu turned their heads at the same time.
They saw a grand and luxurious carriage approaching.
Four horses ran side by side in front, flanked by knights with halberds tightly guarding the carriage, giving off a rather extraordinary aura.
Unlike the factions and families in Chai Sang City today, this looked more like a small army…
“The Son of Heaven drives six horses, the princes drive five, and the nobles drive four. This is a court official, and he’s a high-ranking official with the status of a Nine Ministers?” Bai Li Dong Jun, despite his aversion to these things since childhood, still had a good understanding of them.
“Hui Xi Jun?”
Wen Nan Tian looked at the two beside him in confusion.
“Hui Xi Jun’s father was once the General of the South, who died protecting the country. His son was then granted the title of Hui Xi Jun, although he is not among the Nine Ministers, he is treated with the same respect. In the Southwest Path, the county government treats him with great reverence. Hui Xi Jun’s prestige is very high,”
The second half of the sentence was Wen Hu Jiu reminding Wen Nan Tian.
Since Hui Xi Jun was invited, he must be attending the wedding feast of the Yan and Gu families. Although the Wen Family was not afraid of Hui Xi Jun, it was better not to offend anyone who could be avoided.
Wen Nan Tian nodded, not bothering to disagree.
PS: Before bed, I’d like to ask for some data support, flowers, monthly tickets, tips, and urging tickets… All are welcome.
