Cyan Wood Club.

This is a well-known high-end club in Jiangnan City; everyone qualified to enter is of prominent status.

On the second floor, in a private room, a few young men with distinguished bearing and expensive attire were sitting, speaking softly among themselves.

Besides them, there were more than ten women dressed in traditional clothing, all beautiful in appearance. Some were peeling fruits, some were serving tea and water, while others were giving massages.

However, these young men seemed somewhat inattentive to the beauties around them, conversing amongst themselves, occasionally glancing towards the door as if waiting for someone.

Just then, the door was pushed open, and a young man appeared at the entrance.

"Young Master Ling!"

"Young Master Ling is here!"

In an instant, the young men in the private room simultaneously stood up from their sofas, each with a broad smile on their face, some even showing a hint of flattery.

More than ten women cast amorous glances towards the man at the door.

"Sorry for being late. Have you been waiting long?"

Ling Yu walked in with a smile, his eyes sweeping over the crowd, then lingering on the women, seemingly unable to tear his gaze away.

The young men exchanged glances, revealing knowing smiles.

For these young aristocrats, they've seen all kinds of women, except for those most favored by fate.

Even though the women in Cyan Wood Club are considered top-tier, one can tire of even the finest delicacies if consumed daily.

But this person before them was different.

He lived like an ascetic, spending all day in cultivation. It was natural for him to be captivated by beautiful women.

"Not at all, Young Master Ling is too polite. We just arrived ourselves."

"Yes, our seats aren't even warm yet and you were already here."

"Indeed, indeed."

They echoed each other, one of them tentatively asked:

"Young Master Ling, if you don't mind, shall I have these ladies serve you tonight?"

The women straightened up, their faces showing expectant expressions.

Years of experience told them that the person in front of them held an extraordinary status.

And he was quite attractive as well.

"No need."

Ling Yu smiled lightly, "I just came out for a bit; I need to return to cultivation tonight."

As he spoke, he walked into the private room and sat down on a sofa. Once seated, a clear intelligence was evident in his eyes, starkly different from a moment ago.

These ordinary beauties around him did not catch his eye at all.

The young men quickly started flattering him.

"As expected, Young Master Ling. Not only are you far more talented than us, but you're also so diligent. How can we ordinary people survive?"

"Exactly, in terms of age, Young Master Ling is the youngest among us, yet your Realm is already in True Essence. As for us, we're still stuck in Meridian Refining Realm."

"Yes, the most capable among us is Brother Ye, but even he has only cleared the seventh meridian and still has the eighth to go."

"Comparing oneself to others truly brings frustration."

"Enough,"

Ling Yu lay back on the sofa with a smile and asked, "Instead of flattering me, how about telling me about the task I gave you? Any progress?"

The young men looked at each other with embarrassed expressions and simultaneously turned towards an older man.

This was the Ye they had mentioned, who'd cleared the seventh meridian.

"Well…"

Ye Cheng stammered, "Young Master Ling, we did bribe people in Anshan City Martial Arts Association, but we haven't received any valuable information from them."

Ling Yu's smile froze on his face, "Nothing at all?"

Since hearing some rumors, he had instructed these people to investigate Chen Fan's recent activities.

Instinct told him that anything involving Chen Fan and having Shen Si send him away was not trivial.

Perhaps there was an opportunity hidden within.

Ye Cheng's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, "I'm very sorry, Young Master Ling, it was our incompetence. However, that Chen Fan is quite mysterious. According to our informants, it's difficult to see him, let alone track his movements."

"Indeed, Young Master Ling, I heard that he goes hunting before dawn and returns after dark, even the association's president doesn't know where he goes."

"Maybe the people we bribed are just too useless. We should send our own people over." Someone suggested.

Hearing their comments, Ling Yu was clearly displeased.

This group had previously vowed confidently, but now they couldn't even handle such a small matter.

"Young Master Ling, it's not that there's absolutely no information about that person." Ye Cheng spoke cautiously, "We did manage to find out some things."

"Speak."

Ling Yu spat out a single word.

"According to our informants, just an hour ago, that Chen appeared at the association and sparred with a woman."

"And then?"

Ling Yu glanced at him.

What kind of information was this? It didn't matter even if he sparred with ten women; what did that have to do with him?

"That woman seemed to be a True Essence Realm Martial Artist." Ye Cheng spoke softly, "That Chen also admitted to being a True Essence Realm Martial Artist in front of everyone, and he then defeated her. The process seemed quite effortless."
