Chapter 370: Chapter 273: I Wish the Fire Phoenix Clan Would Rule Our Sect

Gu An was slightly surprised.

How come he’s back after just about two months?

The Fire Phoenix Tomb had opened not long ago, and as a Golden Core, Chen Changfeng would have been able to enter.

That should require a relatively long period of time.

Several months, or even years, could be possible.

The existence time of a secret realm is usually quite lengthy.

Especially one so full of precious treasures and difficult to obtain.

Thus, it wouldn’t be unusual for Chen Changfeng not to return for three to five years.

Yet the other two who couldn’t enter didn’t come back, but this one who could, did.

Gu An didn’t know what to make of him.

You see, Chen Changfeng didn’t have the Eight Sounds Sealing on him anymore, but the other two did.

After all, there was no value in Chen Changfeng, and he was a genius of a unique kind.

It made more sense to let him go.

The other two had some value in Spirit Stones, so it would be a pity just to release them like that.

Probably no one would pay a ransom for Chen Changfeng since all his Cultivation Techniques were fake; who would value him?

Besides, he couldn’t teach anyone nor write any Magic Technique because they were all fake.

It would actually be harmful.

As for logging, Gu An had already started the logging himself, so he was not needed.

Unless he was sent to the night logging yard, to earn twenty to thirty Spirit Stones a month...

Really unnecessary.

And there would still be the need to prevent accidents.

Soon, Gu An arrived at the First Institute.

In the courtyard, Chen Changfeng was lying on the ground, covered with many bloodstains.

It seemed like even his Heart Meridian was nearly shattered.

He looked as though he could die at any moment.

Shu Ci and the others stood in place, at a loss.

They had used all sorts of healing magic and Healing Talismans, but none were effective.

Gu An stood by the latter’s side, feeling his gaze upon him, eyes open, and also saw Gu An.

"How did he come back?" Gu An asked curiously.

"He said he made it to the front of the mountain gate and then reported the name of the brother from the First Institute.

They came back to report, and we went out to pick him up," Pang Wen said earnestly, "When we went out, he was still standing, but he fell down as soon as he saw us.

As if holding on by a last breath."

Gu An was quite moved; the man’s spirit was truly great.

After hesitating, Gu An took out an elixir and said, "Let him take this."

It was a Healing Pill picked up from some Storage Treasure.

Quite valuable.

But Gu An couldn’t sell it, so he kept it for now, maybe it would be useful in the future.

After all, it was for saving lives.

Now, to think it would be used here.

Indeed, Chen Changfeng was a financial loss.

After taking the Healing Pill, Chen Changfeng’s Qi-Blood finally stabilized, and his spirit consolidated.

When the others left, he struggled to sit up and look at Gu An, then said after a long silence, "Warden, why save me?"

"Warden?" Gu An, sitting to the side, wanted to pour himself some tea, but realized there was no tea here. Seems like he needed to get Pang Wen and the others to prepare some.

Chu Meng, as his superior, drinks tea every day.

As their superior, wanting to drink tea is reasonable, right?

After all, it’s following the example of Chu Meng.

Is that how corruption starts?

Then he looked at Chen Changfeng and said, "Sounds worse than ’institute head.’"

Chen Changfeng coughed lightly, his voice weak:

"This place really is like a prison."

Gu An said indifferently:

"Please yourself, but rest up. Once your injury is mostly healed, I’ll have Pang Wen send you away.

After all, it seems the Fire Phoenix Tomb hasn’t closed yet. You should still have a look around."

Chen Changfeng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "Institute head hasn’t answered me. Why did you save me?"

Now he changed it to institute head.

Gu An looked at him, without any particular sentiment, and simply said, "You’re a genius. It would be a pity for you to die here like this."

"Is that all?" Chen Changfeng found it hard to believe.

"You dying here would affect my reputation," Gu An added.

What kind of reputation he had left, Gu An didn’t know.

Since the other party needed a reason, giving another one would do.

As for why he really saved him, the actual reason might be because he recently happened to be well off and also happened to experience the emotional entanglement of Zuo Youyan and Left Mother.

It made his own mood less stable, with a touch of fluctuation.

But at the end of the day, it’s probably because of wealth—after all, it was someone else’s Elixir Pill, no heartache in using it.

Chen Changfeng looked at Gu An, silent for a long time, then said, "I don’t plan to go out anymore. I want to continue staying in jail."

Gu An shook his head: "It won’t work. The cells are full, and there’s no room for you."

"I think I can fit in," Chen Changfeng said.

Gu An still shook his head.

However, as he did so, a particularly thick Daoist Scripture landed in front of him.

It had the words "Nirvana Dao Scripture" inscribed boldly on it.

This made Gu An freeze.

"Would that suffice for me to stay?" Chen Changfeng asked.

Gu An looked at him, somewhat shocked.

"Not enough?" Chen Changfeng continued while placing a Spiritual Egg in front of Gu An, adding, "With this, is it enough?"

Gu An, feeling the remarkable quality of the Spiritual Egg, was astonished.

He was certain that the person in front of him wasn’t thinking straight.

Having obtained these items, what was he coming back for?

Wouldn’t it be better to take these and make a clean getaway?

This was a tremendous opportunity. Anyone who got their hands on these, just being a little cautious, was destined to become a power to be reckoned with in the future.

Gu An eventually asked: "You’ve got your hands on all these, so what are you doing back here?"

"Wasn’t it you who told me to fetch them? Shouldn’t I bring them back after getting them?" Chen Changfeng retorted.

Gu An: "..."

Is this guy really that stubborn?

"How did you get them?" Gu An inquired.

"I did what you told me to do, went all the way in, and got them," Chen Changfeng said truthfully, "I encountered some mechanisms along the way, and the tombstones in the tomb resisted somewhat when I was taking stuff, then I got injured."
