Chapter 813: Chapter 30: The Source

Li Xin felled his opponent and quietly watched the referee, who only came to his senses now and hurriedly entered the arena to check. Raising his hand, the referee announced, "Ren Yanli wins, completing a three-match streak."

The crowd was abuzz with discussion, watching Li Xin in confusion, unable to figure out what had happened or why the opponent suddenly fell.

"Referee, is it over? Where do I go to collect the money?"

The referee from Jiuxiao Building opened his mouth, about to speak, when Yun Yu and Yun Le walked in, "Congratulations, Junior Brother Ren."

"Seeing the two senior sisters again, where do I collect the money?"

"Why is that all you think about?" Yun Le pouted. Coming here to compete is about winning matches and honor, actively engaging the audience to gain their favor and Wish Power.

Li Xin chuckled, "I’m just a worker."

"Junior Brother Li is truly a straightforward person, please follow me," Yun Yu said, trying to hold back laughter, and led Li Xin out of the Martial Arts Arena.

Que Mingyuan had already entered carrying a tray, atop which was a bag filled with Lira coins. Li Xin liked these small bags very much; although they weren’t useful, the texture was excellent, pleasing to the eye and touch, especially when picked up and shaken—the sound was delightful.

"Huh, isn’t there more?" Li Xin asked curiously.

"A total of nine Gold Lira for three consecutive wins, but this girl here meddled a bit, breaking the rules, so we are refunding your entrance fee and compensating you with 1 Gold Lira, making a total of eleven Gold Lira. Junior Brother, could you not hold it against us?" Yun Yu said with a smile, "Yun Le, apologize."

Yun Le pouted, "Oh, I’m sorry."

Li Xin laughed and waved his hand. He didn’t feel like the others were targeting him; instead, he found them quite warm and congenial, and they hadn’t obstructed anything.

"Senior sister, you’re too kind. Can I come again tomorrow?"

Considering how generous they were, it seemed too good to be true—eleven Gold Lira, and if they didn’t charge an entrance fee, he wouldn’t mind being overpowered by this little junior sister.

"With Junior Brother Ren’s skills, it’s inconvenient to come here," Yun Yu said apologetically. ℯℯ𝑙.

"Ah?" Li Xin widened his eyes in shock, what the heck—are his newfound financial gains being cut off so soon???

Seeing Li Xin’s disappointment, Yun Yu was amused. This person only seemed excited when seeing money, showing no waves of emotion when winning. One would think someone who has trained to this level wouldn’t be so eager for money, "Junior Brother Li can try challenging the inner fields. The experts there are more numerous, the treatment better, and the popularity higher. To compensate Junior Brother Li, I can move your schedule up and arrange it as soon as possible, what do you think?"

Li Xin, originally thinking he’d lose his bag of gold, suddenly beamed with joy, "Senior sister is truly kind and beautiful, when can it be arranged?"

"Even quickly, it would take two to three days. Where do you live? We will send someone to notify you," Yun Le said.

"I currently don’t have a fixed residence; I’m making money here first. I’ll tell you once I’m settled," Li Xin replied.

Yun Yu and Yun Le curiously sized up Li Xin.

"Not to hide from the senior sisters, I came here newly, already owing a large sum of money, so if there are any arenas, please arrange them for me, regardless of who the opponent is," Li Xin said.

"Anyone will do?" Yun Yu’s eyes lit up as she asked.

"Yes, anyone will do; I’ll fight for money, regardless of life and death, never backing down," Li Xin nodded seriously with determination.

The Guiyuan Pill Fang Chi mentioned is worth a thousand Gold Lira, and according to that value, he’d have to fight for a long time to save up, and that’s just for others’ basics.

"Fine, if that’s the case, be here tomorrow night at seven," Yun Yu said.

"Seven?" Li Xin lightly furrowed his brow, "Can it be eight? I’ll be there on time by eight. I have work to do before then."

After eight, Inner Sect Disciples generally wouldn’t come down, making it safer. After all, being caught by Fang Qingning is not ideal.

"Sure."

"Thank you, two beautiful senior sisters." Li Xin cupped his fists and smiled.

"See you tomorrow, handsome Junior Brother Ren," Yun Yu stopped Yun Le from speaking.

Holding a bag full of Gold Lira, Li Xin contentedly left, seeing that his days were starting to look hopeful.

Returning to the Martial Heart Sect was already late; Li Xin arrived at the Martial Arts Arena to start tidying up the scattered equipment. The Inner Sect Disciples are quite tired; after training and eating, they are usually exhausted.

"Sis, this kid Li Xin disappeared after eating, who knows where he’s sneaking off to. He might be planning to run away!" Fang Chi was tattling, thinking it would be nice if he had learned the Taiyin School technique; he could directly remake him.

Fang Qingning, who had just finished meditating, firmly rapped Fang Chi’s head, "I saved him because he was worth it, not to repay me. If he wants to leave, let him."

"Sis, you’re such a soft-hearted person; there are many worth saving, like me!" Fang Chi said discontentedly, only silencing when faced with Fang Qingning’s tyrant aura, ultimately muttering to sleep.

This bout of complaints prevented Fang Qingning from resting; her mind was somewhat unsettled.

She didn’t save Li Xin on a whim; Senior Brother Lang Beichen wouldn’t seek her without a reason. It seemed to revolve around Elder Wang’s matter, but how could they coincidentally meet Li Xin, who was at death’s door.

Li Xin, a Night Patrol from Li Long, suddenly appearing in the Divine Land was unexpected. Though she hadn’t initially linked these, she reconsidered in the few days since returning.

The Martial Heart Sect currently has nothing remarkable, nor are there Celestial Destiny Sect disciples, lacking external connections. If there were any, it would trace back to long past events, indicating Li Xin might be linked with the missing Zhuo Buquan; at least he is highly suspect.

She was willing to use the precious Guiyuan Pill, because her Qi Observation Skill showed Li Xin had a remarkably positive aura, but her skills were limited, revealing little else. Someone like him shouldn’t die mysteriously here, motivating her decisive use, a reflection of Martial Heart Sect’s cultivation principle.

Her previous words to Fang Chi partly masked her true concerns. The Martial Heart Sect’s remaining valuables are running dry. Though not regretting her decision, it indeed brings inconvenience to the sect. If following Fang Chi’s suggestion to auction the Guiyuan Pill, they’d easily fetch tens of thousands of Gold Lira, or exchange for some Spirit Stones, anything that could be sold she had long since sold. Now, with Elder Wang present, lacking adequate expressions of acknowledgment, it bothers her slightly as a Sect Master. Especially since they can’t afford advanced training equipment—Elder Wang personally bought and arranged them due to his connections.

Walking while pondering, through the moonlight, she suddenly noticed someone was still busying about in the Martial Arts Arena.

Li Xin arranged the equipment neatly, ensuring Inner Sect Disciples had access to a clean and orderly Martial Arts Arena first thing the next morning.

Each large pin was cleaned thoroughly, arranged in neat rows. Today, having earned a significant sum, Li Xin hummed a little tune, feeling content. Though a thousand Gold Lira seemed a lot, given time, he could still manage it.

After tidying up the equipment, he began cleaning inside and outside until noticing Fang Qingning passing by.
