Chapter 441: Jian's Inner Demon

【Audience anticipation +4】

Seeing that familiar face, Jian Changsheng was dumbfounded.

"You... you aren't..." Heart 9 opened his mouth in disbelief, his jaw almost hitting the floor.

"Heart 6????"

The two shouted almost in unison.

Jian Changsheng rubbed his eyes, confirming that the person sitting in front of him was the Heart 6 he knew, and he was stunned. He looked at the two hundred million plus in banknotes behind him, then at this luxurious VIP lounge, and his brain stopped functioning.

"Keep your voices down." Chen Ling made a "hush" gesture.

"No, you... how could you be the Golden Society Special Envoy??" Heart 9 couldn't help but ask. "Was it you dragging the mountain of gold into the city that day? Was it you grabbing money in the hotel??"

"Yes, it was all me."

"But... this doesn't make sense. Your Eighth Rank status, and the Golden Society background..."

"The Eighth Rank was something I faked. As for the Golden Society... that thing doesn't exist at all. It was just them spreading rumors, and I guided it a little." Chen Ling smiled slightly.

The air suddenly fell into silence.

After a long while, Heart 9 suddenly slapped Jian Changsheng on the back of the head, making a crisp sound.

"Ouch!" Jian Changsheng was stunned. "Why are you hitting me??"

"We're both in the 6-series, yet Heart 6 can trick the five major consortiums, while you get detained just for leaving the station. Can't you learn something from him??"

Jian Changsheng: ...

"He, he's a Play Divine Path user! That's not the same..." Jian Changsheng’s voice grew smaller, looking at Chen Ling as if he were a monster. "It was the same in the Aurora Realm; he was a total drama queen... No, he is the Play God!!"

"That's not right, these are all fake, but who is that kid?" Heart 9 asked in confusion.

Heart 9 couldn't figure out what the background of that kid was, to be able to knock him down with one punch. Chen Ling could fake everything else, but only that kid was real.

"That's my... um... Fifth Senior Brother." Chen Ling’s expression was a bit strange.

Heart 9 was stunned and asked tentatively: "Is he from the Ancient Treasury of the Play? Is he with that Plum K..."

"He is Plum K’s junior brother."

"That makes sense." Heart 9 let out a long sigh. "I was wondering, how could an ordinary kid be so strong... So he's a senior."

"You Heart 6!"

At this moment, Jian Changsheng finally recovered from the shock, gritted his teeth, and pointed at Chen Ling. "We should settle the previous accounts!"

"What accounts?"

"The account of you killing me once in the Ancient Treasury of the Soldier!"

Chen Ling blinked. "I don't understand what you're talking about..."

"Stop playing dumb. Before you left that day, Senior Bai Ye let it slip... You were the one who took the Dao Foundation fragments of the Soldier Divine Path. You are Chen Ling!" Jian Changsheng was furious. "You killed me once back then, and I'm not done with you!"

"...Fine."

Chen Ling stood up from the swivel chair and walked step by step to Jian Changsheng, his eyes narrowing into a dangerous arc. His mental power fluctuations were suddenly released, and he smiled:

"Are you planning to fight me... or are you planning to be thrown onto the main road of the main city and continue being hunted down?"

Jian Changsheng: ...

Jian Changsheng immediately lost his fire. His skills were sealed, and he couldn't possibly beat Chen Ling. As for being thrown onto the main road... Chen Ling might actually do that.

"Ahem ahem ahem..." Jian Changsheng coughed tactically. "Let the past be the past... but you should give me some compensation?"

"What compensation do you want?"

"You earned so much money, you can share some, right?" Jian Changsheng pointed to the room full of banknotes and asked tentatively.

"That won't work. This isn't my money; it's your money."

"...Our money?"

"This is the salary for the Twilight Society for the next few months, or even years."

Chen Ling briefly explained his purpose for coming to the Hongchen main city, and Heart 9’s expression became quite interesting... So he and Jian Changsheng had been making a scene for nothing, almost stealing their own salaries??

Jian Changsheng was depressed to learn that this money couldn't be touched, so he simply walked to the sofa and started eating sunflower seeds.

He couldn't take the money, but he could eat free sunflower seeds, right? If he didn't eat something, he felt like he was going to starve to death in the Hongchen Realm...

Chen Ling helplessly had Gu Kaixian send a meal to the room, which was two high-quality steaks. Seeing Heart 9 and Jian Changsheng swallow the two steaks in three or two bites, his expression became a bit strange.

What have these two guys been doing in the Hongchen main city? Why are they like starving ghosts?

Full and satisfied, Jian Changsheng finally felt like he had come back to life. He stood up from the sofa, pointed at Chen Ling, and said righteously: "Heart 6 Chen Ling... *hic*... our business... *hic*... isn't over yet... *hic*... you wait for me, one day, I will settle this account with you!"

*When I can beat you.* Jian Changsheng added to himself.

In the Ancient Treasury of the Soldier, the psychological shadow Chen Ling left on him was too heavy. Even now, he would dream of that scene in his nightmares... dreaming of Chen Ling walking out of the bones, killing everyone in front of him, and then killing him with a shot without expression... Chen Ling was like a mountain pressing on Jian Changsheng’s heart, or even an inner demon.

After learning that Chen Ling and Heart 6 were the same person, he couldn't sleep at night. When he was promoted to the Third Rank in the South Sea Realm, he was still fantasizing about finding Chen Ling for a one-on-one fight and shattering this inner demon with his own hands. But he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived in the Hongchen main city, things would develop like this...

"Fine, fine, I'll wait for you." Chen Ling responded perfunctorily.

He seemed to think of something and asked: "By the way, didn't you leave the Hongchen Realm? Why are you back?"

"I received the mission and came back." Jian Changsheng shrugged. "The mission also said that other members would come to help me complete the mission, and then Heart 9 came, but... there's still no clue about the mission."

Chen Ling became interested. "What mission?"

"There are two missions in total. One is to let me lurk in the Hongchen main city, stand firm, and ideally have a safe stronghold that can support other members." Jian Changsheng scratched his head and said bitterly, "But until now, let alone a stronghold, I can't even afford to eat..."
