Chapter 1007 Overbearing Rules
Chapter 1007 Overbearing Rules
Lu Chen thought Ji Yunnan would cause trouble for him, but half a day had passed and there was no movement from the other party.
In order to avoid putting himself in a more passive situation, Lu Chen decided to take the initiative to find Manager Pei and report to him what happened today.
After all, since I paid for the boat ticket, I deserve corresponding protection.
However, just as Lu Chen was about to leave, a slight vibration suddenly came from under his feet, which gradually intensified and finally turned into a continuous buzzing sound.
Lu Chen knew that the void ship must have taken off. When he thought that after all the twists and turns, he could finally leave the Qingyun Realm, he suddenly became excited.
Things turned out just as Lu Chen had expected. The Lin family's void ship slowly took off, left the void dock, and quickly flew into the depths of the universe.
As the speed of the void ship increased, Lu Chen could clearly feel a strong centrifugal force acting on his body, but this feeling soon disappeared.
Just as Lu Chen reached out to hold the door handle and was about to gently push the door open and leave,
Suddenly, a black shadow, like a ghost, rushed out like lightning from the gap of the tightly closed door of the room opposite in an extremely strange and silent way.
The speed of this black shadow was astonishingly fast, as if it had been lurking there, waiting for the best moment to come.
His figure flashed by, and in the blink of an eye he arrived at the door of the room where Lu Chen was.
Then, the black shadow stretched out his hand without hesitation, gently pushed open the door, and then flashed and nimbly entered Lu Chen's room.
After entering the room, the black shadow moved extremely quickly. Without any pause, he closed the door tightly with his backhand.
Almost at the same moment, the man raised his right hand, and a dazzling immortal energy suddenly burst out from his palm.
This immortal energy was like a nimble snake, dancing rapidly in the air, quickly interweaving into a complex and mysterious energy light curtain.
As the light flickered, the energy curtain landed steadily around the room, completely enveloping Lu Chen and himself.
Lu Chen was caught off guard by the scene before his eyes, and a look of astonishment appeared on his originally calm face.
However, after just a moment of daze, he quickly came to his senses and looked at the person in front of him with sharp eyes.
When he saw the face of the person clearly, he was shocked. It turned out that this person was the young monk who had asked Manager Pei about the price before!
However, the behavior of this young monk was so strange that Lu Chen felt extremely confused and puzzled.
Despite this, Lu Chen still noticed a hint of anxiety and tension in the other person's eyes.
So, after thinking about it secretly, Lu Chen decided to keep his troops in place for the time being and wait and see what the young monk wanted to do.
At this moment, the young monk finally completed his deployment.
He turned around slowly, his eyes fixed on Lu Chen.
He first bowed to Lu Chen and said politely: "Old man, I am Long Jiakun. I hope you will forgive me for any offense I have caused you this time."
After a brief pause, Long Jiakun then asked:
"I wonder if a cultivator named Ji Yunnan had borrowed immortal crystals from you a few hours ago?"
After hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face.
Obviously, he did not expect that the young man in front of him would know about this matter.
However, Lu Chen was a worldly-wise man after all, and he quickly regained his composure after a brief moment of shock.
At this moment, he neither denied nor admitted it, but just looked at Long Jiakun calmly.
It was as if he wanted to look through the other person's eyes and see his true intentions deep in his heart.
For a moment, the atmosphere between the two became a little subtle, and the air around them seemed to be frozen.
Perhaps realizing that he was being a little abrupt, Long Jiakun hurriedly explained:
"Don't misunderstand me, old man. I don't mean anything else. I just live across the street from you.
I overheard what happened before, so I wanted to tell you something to prevent you from getting hurt without knowing it."
"Oh? Then you should tell me."
After hearing this, Lu Chen realized that the other party had no ill intentions, so he smiled and said.
Seeing that Lu Chen's attitude had softened, Long Jiakun was relieved and continued to explain:
"Old man, you may not know that the rule on this void ship is that you are not allowed to cause trouble openly.
However, one party can unconditionally challenge the other party, and this challenge does not matter whether it is life or death.
Once issued, if the other party receives the challenge, they cannot refuse it.
If the challenge is rejected, then the rejected party will be acknowledging their own weakness, and the challenger can attack them without restraint. "
Having said that, Long Jiakun saw that Lu Chen's expression did not change much, so he continued:
“And Ji Yunnan and two other cultivators, one is called Chen Weiqi and the other is called Guan Shiya.
The three of them formed a gang, and they often took advantage of this rule, using the name of borrowing fairy crystals to rob people.
Because as soon as someone refuses their request to borrow money, they will immediately challenge.
Those monks with lower cultivation levels were completely powerless to resist and could only choose to hand over their immortal crystals and allow them to bully them."
Speaking of this, Long Jiakun's expression seemed somewhat helpless.
After hearing this, Lu Chen was also very sad. He didn't expect that there would be such an overbearing rule.
Then he asked curiously:
"Then, won't Manager Pei take care of this kind of thing?"
Upon hearing this, Long Jiakun curled his lips and sneered indignantly:
"Not only does Pei not care about this kind of thing, he even condones it.
Because according to the regulations on the ship, he cannot interfere directly unless there is an obvious violation.
Moreover, although Ji Yunnan is an old resident, he acts cautiously and never does anything excessive in broad daylight.
He always chooses new or solitary monks as his targets, making sure he does not attract too much attention."
“In addition, Ji Yunnan’s gang are gamblers by nature and have already spent all their immortal crystals, which makes them more dependent on this method to obtain resources.
Although many people are dissatisfied with them, in the special environment of the ship, many people choose to endure it silently instead of standing up to fight. "
After listening to this, Lu Chen pondered for a moment, then slowly said:
"I see. Thank you for telling me the truth. Otherwise, I would have suffered a loss without even realizing it, just as you said.
But you have just boarded the ship not long ago, and you know so much information, you are really young and promising. "
Hearing this, Long Jiakun could not help but hear the hidden meaning behind Lu Chen's words. He smiled bitterly and explained:
“Senior Lu, please don’t get me wrong. The reason why I understand these things more clearly is not because I am particularly capable or well-informed.
In fact, it was my neighbor who gave me this information.”
After hearing this, Lu Chen dispelled his doubts and thought that this cultivator named Long Jiakun was one of the few kind-hearted people...
