After nightfall, the inner courtyard ca alive with activity.
So martial artists were moving back and forth on the blue stone-paved roads.
They mostly trained during the day and ceased at dusk, not only to rest but also to stroll around the academy.
They usually went to the outer courtyard to exchange ideas, or to clear their state of mind.
And Shang Qing, too, would appear in the outer courtyard at this ti to conduct his business and earn Spirit Stones.
Weapons, demon pills, Spiritual dicine, and the like were all available in abundance.
As long as you could pay with Yuan Stones, Shang Qing, with the advantage of his family backing, could procure almost anything.
Of course, this was also related to the fact that everyone in the Heavenly Book Academy was a martial artist.
The demands of martial artists were sothing a family like Shang Qing’s could readily fulfill.
Lu Chen found Shang Qing quite quickly; at the mont, he was setting up his stall in an open area of the outer courtyard.
However, he wasn’t personally hawking his wares; given his status, there were naturally martial artists who followed him and managed the business on his behalf.
All he needed to do was sit to the side and control the overall situation.
He didn’t even need to collect the Yuan Stones himself.
"Brother Shang."
Lu Chen approached and stood in front of Shang Qing.
"Chen Lu?"
As the sky darkened, Shang Qing almost thought he was mistaken; if his eyesight and mory weren’t exceptional, he might have forgotten Lu Chen altogether.
"Indeed, it’s ."
Lu Chen smiled faintly and said, "I’d like to inquire about so news from you, if that’s alright?"
Shang Qing furrowed his brows slightly; there was no one in the whole Heavenly Book Academy more inford than him.
A series of changes had taken place in the academy since Lu Chen had killed Wu Chiren.
Following that, the dean, Li Mingru, and the old man of celestial dicine went missing.
Xu Zhengde took martial artists with him to Tianyuan but no good news had co of it.
Now, due to these events, the Heavenly Book Academy had also beco sowhat chaotic.
If it weren’t for the opportunity to earn more Yuan Stones during this ti, Shang Qing would have decided to leave and go back to his family.
Because the main house had also sent back news.
Shang Xiu was dead!
And before this, Shang Xiu had found him and even inquired about a person nad Lu Chen!
Moreover, Xu Qianqian had suddenly married into the royal family and was about to be taken in by the Hehuan Sect, to beco an official disciple of the secondary orthodox sect!
Everything seed quite unfathomable.
Shang Qing looked at Lu Chen and whispered, "What news do you want to inquire about?"
"May I have a word in private?"
Lu Chen didn’t seem to know much but rely gave a slight smile and nudged his chin toward the side.
"Of course," Shang Qing nodded and said, "however, I, Shang Qing, make my living trading for Yuan Stones. Depending on the secrecy of the information, I’ll charge a certain amount of Yuan Stones. What do you think?"
Lu Chen, who had co prepared, chuckled lightly and said, "If Yuan Stones aren’t enough, can I use Spirit Stones instead?"
Shang Qing knew Lu Chen had a few Spirit Stones and imdiately replied, "Naturally! One Spirit Stone is worth a hundred Yuan Stones!"
Lu Chen wasn’t too concerned; he didn’t need too many Spirit Stones for his cultivation. What did it matter if he had a few more or less?
He glanced toward a part of the courtyard wall where the light was dim, and few people passed, then started walking directly towards it.
Shang Qing, however, stared thoughtfully at Lu Chen’s receding figure.
"His deanor and tone have undergone a trendous change! After killing Wu Chiren, it was only thanks to Li Mingru’s protection that he avoided crisis, and he also chose to lie low and went to Tianyuan, only returning just before the depths of Tianyuan opened and made his second trip!"
"Now that he’s back, given his deanor, he doesn’t seem likely to stay in the Heavenly Book Academy. Is he going to inquire about so news from and then depart for another location?"
"This Chen Lu... was just soone brought into the door by Yu Qingqing... Wait, Chen Lu... Lu Chen?"
Suddenly, Shang Qing’s mouth fell open as he realized sothing terribly shocking!
Could it be that Chen Lu was the person his eldest sister, Shang Xiu, was looking for?
And while Shang Xiu had died days ago, Lu Chen remained unhard!
