Xiangyang, City Lord’s Mansion!
In the room, Jiang Chen sat cross-legged, his eyes closed, his hands forming seals in front of him. The Five Elements Yin-Yang Art in his body rapidly circulated, and the aura around him steadily rose.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, an extremely powerful aura surged out from Jiang Chen’s body.
“Whew!”
Jiang Chen opened his eyes, exhaling a slightly turbid breath of white air, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Grandmaster Realm Late Stage!
Leveraging the aftereffects of the Stone Talisman Spirit Liquid obtained from completing the system mission, coupled with the improvement of the Five Elements Yin-Yang Art after fusing the Everlasting Scripture, after these days of hard cultivation, Jiang Chen finally broke through to the Grandmaster Realm Late Stage. He was only a step away from the Grandmaster Realm!

Looking at the data on the system panel, Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction.
With his current strength, Jiang Chen was confident that he could match a Grandmaster Realm Early Stage martial artist. Even against an ordinary Grandmaster Realm Middle Stage martial artist, he would have a fighting chance!
“I wonder if Lu Xiaofeng has found out anything?” Jiang Chen muttered to himself.
Jiang Chen hadn’t expected that Lu Xiaofeng, based solely on the corpse’s expression and wounds, could deduce so much.
If he truly traced it back to him, he would have to come up with a plan to deal with it. After all, his current strength was not enough to contend with the entire Quanzhen Sect!
Jiang Chen stretched, then walked out of his room.
At this moment, he saw Guo Fu walking towards his residence, followed by the Wu brothers.
However, since Guo Fu witnessed the affair between Wu Xiu Wen and Chun Tao, she had become extremely disgusted with the Wu brothers.
“Brother Jiang Chen!”
Seeing Jiang Chen, Guo Fu’s face lit up with joy, and she immediately came to his side.
“Fu’er!” Jiang Chen smiled faintly.
Seeing Jiang Chen, a look of fear flashed in Wu Dunru’s eyes.
His injuries had only healed recently!
“The two of you, don’t follow me! If you keep following me, I’ll have Brother Jiang Chen deal with you!” Guo Fu said.
Wu Dunru and Wu Xiu Wen didn’t understand why Guo Fu had suddenly become so averse to them.
However, out of fear of Jiang Chen, Wu Dunru and Wu Xiu Wen had to leave.
“Brother Jiang Chen, when are you going to take me hunting again?” Guo Fu grabbed Jiang Chen’s arm, her voice full of coquettishness.
Ever since Jiang Chen took her hunting last time, she had been longing for the roasted mountain chickens he made.
They were simply too delicious!
“Are you not afraid of encountering people from the Yuan Dynasty in the suburbs?” Jiang Chen said with a faint smile.
“With Brother Jiang Chen protecting me, I’m not afraid!” Guo Fu said.
Hearing Guo Fu’s words, Jiang Chen was speechless.
Although Guo Fu was spoiled and willful, it couldn’t be denied that she was quite obedient and gentle in front of him.
“Alright, I’ll take you hunting again when I have time,” Jiang Chen said.
“Great, it’s settled then!”
A smile finally appeared on Guo Fu’s face, and she extended her little finger.
Jiang Chen also helplessly extended his little finger and hooked it with Guo Fu’s.
“Fu’er, I heard that you smashed another restaurant yesterday?” Jiang Chen asked.
“Hmph, it’s not my fault they have eyes but don’t see. I was here first, yet they served others before me!” Guo Fu said indignantly.
“But you can’t smash their restaurant, can you?” Jiang Chen said.
“I already compensated them! What else do they want?” Guo Fu said.
“Aren’t you afraid that Lady Guo will put you under house arrest again?” Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
Hearing Jiang Chen’s words, Guo Fu’s expression changed in fear.
She had only recently been released from house arrest. She didn’t want to be confined again!
“Brother Jiang Chen, you won’t tell Mother, will you?” Guo Fu said.
Jiang Chen shook his head and said, “I won’t tell Lady Guo, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t know.”
“As long as Brother Jiang Chen doesn’t say anything, Mother definitely won’t know,” Guo Fu said, deceiving herself.
…
Xiangyang, City Lord’s Mansion!
“Rong’er, who do you think is the most suitable person to deliver this secret letter?” Guo Jing asked.
“Jiang Chen!” Huang Rong blurted out!
Hearing Huang Rong’s words, Guo Jing smiled faintly and said, “Rong’er, you and I think alike. I also believe that Jiang Chen is quite suitable! Why don’t you tell him and ask him to go on this trip?”
“Okay!”
Huang Rong nodded and said, “By the way, Jing ge, Fu’er needs to be properly disciplined. Yesterday, she smashed another restaurant in the city!”
Hearing Huang Rong’s words, Guo Jing couldn’t help but chuckle.
He also knew that his daughter had been spoiled by him!
“By the way, doesn’t Fu’er listen to Jiang Chen? Let Jiang Chen discipline Fu’er, how about that?” Guo Jing said.
“I’m afraid that Fu’er will corrupt Jiang Chen!” Huang Rong said helplessly.
“That won’t happen. I have high hopes for Jiang Chen! If this child is honed, he will have the potential to succeed me in guarding Xiangyang!” Guo Jing said.
All along, Guo Jing had been looking for someone who could succeed him. If something happened to him, Xiangyang would still be able to hold its ground.
Now, Jiang Chen’s displayed management ability had caught Guo Jing’s attention!
