"Vine Saint!"Chase was stunned to hear that.A Vine Saint existed in this world?While he was pondering this, the green light gathered in front of Chase and condensed into the figure of an old man. Chase felt a chill when he noticed the similarity this place had with the Dragon Vein Secret Realm.Where was this? Could it be…?Chase did not even have time to defend himself against the sudden appearance of the man. He did not even have time to feel alarmed. All he could do was stare at the old man warily.Fortunately, the man did not seem to have any ill intentions toward Chase. Lucas did not trick him."Don’t be afraid, young friend. I can sense the aura of another young friend from you. Are you willing to tell me who led you here?" the old man asked in a friendly manner.There was no aura from the old man at all, and he could even be a hallucination, but Chase knew that the old man was real. This was only happening because his cultivation was completely gone."I was led here
"You got lucky, young man. When you were falling down the abyss and fell unconscious, Master Vine conducted a test on your character while you were passed out. If he had found you to be filled with ill intentions, you wouldn’t be here at all."It’s because you've passed the test that you’re able to appear within the Holy Vine. I had no idea that you had a good heart," Lucas explained slowly with slight jealousy and slight relief."Is this the internal location of the Vine Saint that you mentioned?" Chase looked around curiously."Yes. You can only come here if Master Vine approves of you. Hurry up and cultivate, young man. I’ll explain more to you once you’re out," Lucas insisted.Chase stopped chatting with Lucas and immediately sat on the ground cross-legged. He began to cultivate.He found that his cultivation had been restored during the process and guessed that Master Vine had lifted all restrictive mechanisms off him. The moment he channeled his skills, a flash of green ener
Chase leaped down the abyss once more at this thought. He prepared to get to the bottom once more.Just as Chase made the leap and was right above the abyss, the restrictive mechanisms were triggered and Chase’s body fell downward.Chase was suddenly transported away.He returned to the cliff before the abyss.What?Did something go wrong with the restrictive mechanisms?Chase leaped down once more, and he was in mid-air.A flash was seen.Chase returned to the cliff again.He finally understood that there was no issue with the restrictive mechanisms.Chase vanished and reappeared inside the Dragon Vein Secret Realm. He realized that the dragon image in the air seemed to have consolidated more.He did not think much about it as he appeared in Lucas’ space."What happened, Sir?" Chase asked.Lucas had to know something because he was looking at Chase strangely."You’re the first person whom Master Vine has tried to hide from, young man. That’s really something."Lucas sta
The scent of herbal medicine filled the air. Anyone present would be astounded by this. Chase did not require a pill furnace to refine the pills. He was refining them in the air just like that.Probably no one in the cultivating world had witnessed such a thing before. Fortunately for Chase, he was doing this in the pavilion, and no one was there to see this.Only the two men in Chase’s mind were able to sense this with their mental energies. However, they knew that this was a crucial moment and did not disturb him. They waited until the pills were formed.The medical herbs in the air vanished. Ten Element Nurturing Pills floated in the air in place of the herbs.Lucas could not help exclaiming."Where did you learn to refine pills this way, young man?""I learned it from my master, of course," Chase replied."Who exactly is your master?" Lucas asked once more."I have no idea what his name is, but I’ve always just called him ‘old man’," Chase replied honestly. He had spent mor
In the CEO’s office of Blizzard Group in South River City, Quinn Norris’ eyes widened as she looked at the young man in front of her in disbelief. “What did you just say? You’re my fiancé?”“That’s right. Your grandfather promised your hand to me three years ago. This is the agreement. Read it for yourself.”The young man’s name was Chase Collins. He took out a marriage agreement and passed it to Quinn.Quinn wanted to die when she finished reading the agreement.She was sure that the agreement was real because it was the writing of her grandfather, Charles Norris. It was even stamped with his personal seal.Quinn took a deep breath. Her expression was cold as she asked, “Your name is Chase Collins?”“That’s right.Chase nodded. He could not help but stare at her.She had a beautiful face and nice, fair skin. Even though she looked tense all the time, she could still easily mesmerize men around her.Quinn was wearing business attire, which accentuated her voluptuous body, espe
Quinn stared straight at Chase. There was an arrogant look on her face.Her secretary, Elaine Parker, looked at Chase in disdain. How could a penniless man like him be good enough for their CEO?“Sure.”Chase replied nonchalantly, “Although, that won’t be up to you to decide. This marriage was decided by your grandfather. You can wait until I’ve cured your grandfather so he can dissolve this marriage personally. If he's willing to do so, I will honor his decision.”Quinn felt even more disdain for him when she saw him refusing to give up. “I’ll be in charge of my own marriage. Also, I’ll figure out my grandfather’s situation. There is no need for you to worry about it.”She quickly scribbled on a check. “Here's a check for five million. If you’re willing to dissolve the marriage between us, this money is yours.“Five million is nothing to me, but for those in the lower tier of society like you, it’s enough for you to survive your entire life. I believe you won’t reject my offer.”
Half an hour later, Chase found the Turners’ Residence according to the address given to him by the old man.Henry Turner, who was close to 50, smiled as he finished reading the letter given to him inside the living room. “It’s true. It’s the writing of that esteemed man.”“Now do you believe who I am, Uncle Henry?”Chase asked, “The old man told me that you asked for his help right before he died. He requested that I protect your family. Can you tell me what happened?”Henry sighed. “It’s like this, Chase. A business competitor wrote me a letter anonymously to tell me that he would kidnap my daughter.“I’ve hired five bodyguards for her, but she has been spoiled by me since young. All five of them have been chased off by her.“After giving this thorough consideration, I decided to ask for your master’s help.”Henry smiled at Chase. “Your master has given me the solution in the letter you brought me. You need to be my daughter’s fiancé. That will give you a good reason to protec
“If that’s what you think, you can go ahead and buy what you need on your own.” Riley left after saying this coldly to Chase.Chase shrugged and walked away to hail a taxi by the road. “Take me to Emgrand Group.”Riley entered a Starbucks and sat down. The more she thought about it, the angrier she was. She took out her phone and sent a message to her chat group: [This sucks! This really sucks!]There were only five people in the chat group, and they were all colleagues who got along with Riley.It was not long before a woman named Anna Clayton replied to her message: [What’s wrong, Riley? Who upset you this time?][My dad found some random country bumpkin and made him my fiancé.] Riley finally found someone she could vent to.[What?][Woah! Are you for real?]The group chat immediately became active.[Why would I lie to you?]Riley typed angrily: [The worst thing about this is that my dad is making me get him a job at our company. My dad claims that it would be easier for hi
