The fish leaves the nest!
Reeling in the fishing net to catch a big fish!
(Big Chapter Seeking Monthly Tickets)_1 “I know you have a special physique, and your restlessness just now must surely mean that you’ve detected something.
...
Let’s feel it out again…”
Inside the inn’s room, Chen Dengming picks up the Array Plate, planning to continue questioning to pinpoint the origin of the discomfort.
Being a spiritual body, the Mini Array Spirit has a sensory perception vastly different from humans, extremely sensitive.
This keen sense of perception has, on numerous occasions, saved him from trouble at critical moments, else he wouldn’t have been training in combat frequently in the Brocade Mill’s outskirts.
When there is such a feeling, there must be a reason, it is not just chasing shadows in the wind.
…
The winds can’t be tied down, and shadows are hard to catch.
However, what someone hears can be more than just catching shadows in the wind.
When Xu Ning, who is far away in the gathering place, hears such rumors, he immediately sends someone to verify the source of those rumors.
And now, the people he sent have brought him good news — the thriving Gu Market in Brocade Mill is indeed run by Boss Hu, who really does have a Gu refining partner.
Upon hearing this news, Xu Ning instantly understands that he has finally found the person he has been looking for.
However, what displeases him is that the other party is actually in cahoots with Boss Hu.
They are living comfortably now, making a fortune selling Gu Objects.
Although it is not as grand as the Gu Refining Place at the gathering place, they are definitely affluent.
But as soon as he got this message, he already had a mature plan.

This plan took root from the moment he was caught in the quagmire.
Half a month ago, he accidentally learned of a transaction between the Zhu Family and a mysterious person.
The wild grass in his heart grew wildly, getting out of control.
However, given his current position, he can’t easily leave the gathering place.
Even if he has a perfect plan, he still lacks an excuse to carry it out.
But now, he has an excuse.
The son of the Zhu family has a good eye and has always been interested in Gu refining skills.
Assuming his interest is still there.
This will be a perfect opportunity for him to escape from the quagmire of the gathering place and the slaughterhouse of the Thousands of Miles Frontier.
And Chen Dengming, he will become his prey and sacrifice in this plan.
…
Inside the inn’s room, Chen Dengming frowns, putting down the Array Plate, and after some reflection, he continues the spiritual exchange with the Mini Array Spirit.
“So, the ominous feeling you had just now, it was just a sudden premonition?”
“Y-y-yes, it can only be called an ominous premonition…
It’s like, like a glimpse of a past life flashed through my mind.
It seems, it seems related to the cultivator from the Yin Ghost Sect who refined me into an Array Spirit, but, but it’s elusive…”
“Images from past life…?
Related to a cultivator from the Yin Ghost Sect?”
Chen Dengming contemplates deeply, walking over to the window and peeks at the bustling street below.
“Could it be that a cultivator from the Yin Ghost Sect has arrived in Brocade Mill, and a certain special aura has stimulated the Mini Array Spirit, causing her restlessness…”
Chen Dengming can only offer this reasonable explanation for now.
If that’s the case, it shouldn’t matter.
Even if a cultivator from the Yin Ghost Sect did pass through Brocade Mill, he wouldn’t inexplicably become his enemy.
However, this type of sect cultivator may be able to detect spiritual ghost creatures.
For now, he needs to lay low and hide the Mini Array Spirit well – he can’t let someone take away this precious thing.
At this moment, footsteps can be heard outside the room.
The Mini Array Spirit is startled and whooshes back into the Array Plate, only revealing two eyes to peek.
“Brother Chen, Boss Hu asked me to bring you a message – the fish smells blood and has left the nest.
Are you ready to kill the fish?
If not, you’d better hide first…”
…
“The fish has left its nest?
That was quick.”
“The tiger is asking about the size of my throat and whether I should eat the fish or avoid it, so as not to get a fish bone stuck.”
Chen Dengming sends away the messenger, a smile on his lips, but his eyes reveal thoughtfulness and sharpness.
This cryptic message may sound a bit confusing, but he clearly understands its meaning.
He even anticipated it, so he is not surprised now.
The details stem from the initial conditions he and Boss Hu agreed upon when they decided to collaborate at the Yunlai Inn.
When Chen Dengming decided to sell Gu Objects in Brocade Mill in collaboration with Boss Hu, he foresaw that the bustling Gu Market in Brocade Mill would attract Xu Ning’s attention from the gathering place.
After all, when Qian Yuan was just running some small workshops to sell pirated Gu Objects, the information still made its way to the gathering place.
A hotter market for authentic Gu Objects couldn’t possibly hide the news.
And Xu Ning, including the Zhu family, as long as they are still interested in Gu Objects and Gu refining skills, are likely to make a move again.
At that time, regardless of the Zhu family’s and Xu Ning’s plans, he had decided not to collaborate with any of them anymore, to avoid getting trapped in family disputes and troubles.
He just needs to remain in Brocade Mill, with the support of the Business League’s relationship and the guarantee of Gu Objects’ benefits.
Even the Zhu Family, wanting to deal with him again, wouldn’t get very far.
Of course, this is assuming the Zhu Family won’t put in a lot of effort.
But it is clear that for such a small amount of resources and benefits, the Zhu family would not mobilize a large group.
The only person who would is Xu Ning.
In Chen Dengming’s speculation, if the Zhu Family is truly interested in Gu refining, Xu Ning is the most likely to be their lapdog and come to him.
