281: Chapter 277 Out of Money Again?
His tone was even and bland, but Chen Hai’s words seemed to carry an undeniable flavor.
Ye Cheng opened his mouth as if he wanted to retort, but in the end, no sound came out.
“Chen Hai, about my sister, I hope you can explain properly.”
“If your fiancé still does not appear, she will soon become the laughingstock of the entire Four-nine City!”
After hesitating for a long time, Ye Cheng sighed deeply.
After dropping a few words, he waved to his men, and the group turned and walked briskly toward their parked cars.
As for those two crying and begging to be taken as disciples by Chen Hai.
Although their faces showed reluctance, seeing that Chen Hai completely ignored them, they had no choice but to reluctantly get up and follow Ye Cheng away.
In Yanhuang Country, there are many places with legends related to immortals.
Initially, Ye Cheng’s men would certainly scoff at such folk tales.
They believed these folk tales related to immortals were merely fabricated by predecessors to fool children.
However, now, having seen Chen Hai step out of a sea of fire and extinguish it with a wave of his hand in that shocking scene.
They had begun to believe that these folk tales about immortals might not be imaginary, but could have truly occurred.
Perhaps the Chen Hai before them was one of those legendary immortals.
If they were lucky, belonging to the one in ten thousand Tao Cultivation geniuses, and Chen Hai took a liking to them, willing to take them as disciples.
They might really, without a second thought, give up their current identities and statuses to peacefully pursue Tao Cultivation for immortality…
Such thoughts were not harbored by merely one or two individuals.
It’s just that others were not as overt as those two kneeling and begging to become disciples in front of Chen Hai.
It wasn’t strange at all for them to have such thoughts, it was just a normal reaction for ordinary people.
After all, that scene just now was truly too astonishing!
In their eyes, Chen Hai had already become a being beyond ordinary humans.
Especially after vaguely realizing that Chen Hai’s transformation was not innate but obtained through arduous cultivation.
Who could remain indifferent to that?
Who wouldn’t desire to possess such power, to become such a formidable existence?
Unfortunately, though their desires were lovely, they themselves were not…
Chen Hai simply ignored them.
Even when they knelt and pleaded, he did not spare them a second glance.
The group piled into the military vehicles, and amid the roaring engines, the two vehicles gradually drove away and soon disappeared.
“Boss, after your reclusive cultivation, have you really become an immortal?”
It wasn’t until this moment that Tian Mingjian, his face filled with excitement and thrill, tentatively asked this question.
Having spent nearly half a year guarding near this dilapidated house, often filled with doubts.
He frequently asked himself, was it worth it staying here all this time?
However, now, having witnessed his boss Chen Hai emerging from seclusion in that shocking scene, all his previous frustrations had been swept away.
In his view, let alone half a year, even if it meant continuing to guard here for another three to five years, it would absolutely be worth it.
“What immortal?
Compared to ordinary people, I’m just a little bit stronger!”
“That I can control the Flame Power now is indeed true.”
“But, having just stepped into this realm, the distance I can control is still somewhat limited.”
Chen Hai explained with a faint smile.
Now, he could control flames within a two to three hundred meters range, which was already his limit.
However, such specifics, he thought, there was no need to discuss too specifically with Tian Mingjian.
His true aspiration – to have the entire Blue Star burst into a sea of flames with a single thought and extinguish every flame under the heavens with another – was what he truly yearned for.
Unfortunately, being just at the beginning of mastering the control over Flame Power, he was still far from reaching that supreme realm, with an unknown distance yet to cover.
“Boss, I…” Desire filled his eyes, but Tian Mingjian’s words trailed off, and he didn’t continue.
There’s an old saying: The nearer to the water, the first to get the moon.
For the power his boss possessed, to say that Tian Mingjian didn’t envy that would be a lie!
If Chen Hai were willing to take disciples, at this time, he would definitely not hesitate and would immediately kneel to be accepted as his disciple.
But thinking of those two who had come with Ye Cheng, who knelt and pleaded bitterly on the ground, and how his boss Chen Hai hardly spared them a glance,
Tian Mingjian, though he harbored thoughts of learning skills from Chen Hai, didn’t know how to bring it up at the moment!
“Mingjian, I already know what you want to say.”
“I can cultivate my own skills, but I simply cannot teach them to others.”
“If someday, the things I know can be imparted to others, I will definitely let you know first!”
He sighed softly and Chen Hai expressed his thoughts.
As an Ancient True Cultivator, if he wanted to open a school and accept disciples, he could only do so if he allowed his disciples to visualize him as their founding master.
But if he were to really do that, perhaps in just a few years, he would have to abandon his Physical Body and ascend to the True Realm with his Divine Soul.
In Chen Hai’s estimation, the True Realm might be a higher dimensional world.
The power descending from the True Realm and entering the real world seemed capable of crossing certain bounds of time and space.
Only when his Divine Soul had established itself in the True Realm could he truly be known as a founding master.
And allow his disciples to contemplate the mysteries of his Divine Soul, responding to their calls from time to time, using the Borrowing Technique to cast spells for them!
The body and hair, received from one’s parents.
Chen Hai was absolutely unwilling to abandon his Physical Body to ascend to the True Realm with his Divine Soul.
Truly speaking, at the moment he successfully ascended to the Object Controlling Realm, he had already faintly sensed the existence of the True Realm.
It seemed that as long as he could break through the barrier to the True Realm, he would successfully enter it.
When the thought of wanting to enter the True Realm arose in his heart, it was as if a voice told him that once he stepped into the True Realm, he could never return!
It was just a moment of hesitation, and the suspected True Realm had already disappeared from his sensing range.
For this, Chen Hai had no regrets.
After all, he had family and friends in the real world.
To ask him to let go of everything, even directly abandoning his own Physical Body to enter that illusory True Realm, for now, he definitely wouldn’t consider it!
“While I was in seclusion, what happened in the outside world?”
The area was already a ruin, and naturally, Chen Hai and Tian Mingjian would not continue to stay here.
As they walked, Chen Hai casually asked.
The Jeep Cherokee was parked in front of the gate of West Mountain Villa, and Tian Mingjian had not driven it here.
After all, driving such a car in a suburban environment was somewhat conspicuous.
To avoid detection as much as possible, Tian Mingjian always rode a second-hand two-wheeled motorcycle back and forth to this area.
He did not park the motorcycle right outside the house where he was hiding, but instead, he left it in a farmhouse yard about one or two miles away.
If it weren’t for his usual caution and prudence, the fact that Chen Hai was hiding here wouldn’t have been found by Ye Cheng until today.
“Boss, that Bai Xiaohang guy offended a big underworld figure nicknamed Ding Laosan, he has run away to Shen City to seek shelter with a buddy!”
“The winery in Liuyuan County, your cousin Sun Jinzhong and the others have taken it over.”
“They spent eight hundred thousand, and considering that the winery needed some working capital to continue operating, I transferred a million to them.”
“The courtyard house in Liuhua Alley has been completely rebuilt, when you have time, you can go take a look!”
“The plot of land purchased from Dong Dahai at Treasure House, you initially instructed to build a private club there, but only half of it has been constructed because there wasn’t enough funding, and work had to be temporarily halted.”
…
While walking and talking, Tian Mingjian led Chen Hai towards the farmhouse where he parked his motorcycle and briefly reported the events of the past six months to Chen Hai.
Although Tian Mingjian’s wish to learn skills from Chen Hai had not been fulfilled, his admiration for his boss had already reached an extreme point in his heart.
For now, the promises made by Chen Hai were still just empty promises.
But even so, it made him incredibly gratified and excited.
After all, the two guys who followed Ye Cheng and wanted to take Chen Hai as their master had never enjoyed such treatment.
Willing to make a promise, this shows that Chen Hai regarded him as one of his own.
“Bai Xiaohang, that guy is just trouble!”
“As long as he’s fine, just running away to Shen City is not a big deal.”
“Find some time to notify him, if he wants to come back, let him come back directly.
That Ding Laosan he offended is just a small matter and should be easy to sort out.”
Chen Hai nodded and said with a faint smile.
Having stepped into the Object Controlling Realm, just how powerful was he?
He had not yet truly tested his limits.
However, as long as he didn’t directly confront the national machinery or engage in frontal combat with large-scale armies, ordinary people hardly mattered to him anymore.
“That private club only half completed because it ran out of money?”
Speaking of this issue, Chen Hai was somewhat helpless and unconsciously furrowed his brow.
Before he went into seclusion, he had entrusted all the funds in his bank account to Tian Mingjian.
After spending one million five hundred thousand from Dong Dahai to take over that plot of land, there was still nearly three million huge funds left in his bank account!
But now, supposedly there was no money left…
“With just a little bit of work, this money is always not enough!” Chen Hai sighed with a sentiment.
In such matters, he naturally knew that Tian Mingjian would definitely not dare to falsify.
If he said there was no money, then it must really be almost all used up!
