Guan Yue asked, "What is it? I will do my best to help."
At that moment, a young man approached and took over the conversation. "My name is Direction East, and my sister is named Fang West. We want to collect something from a family, but we are afraid they won't believe us. Seeing that you are talented and handsome, with the aura of a person in power, we would like to ask you to impersonate our young master and help us collect the debt. As for the reward, how does ten taels of Golden Red Sand sound?"
"Me? I know nothing about the situation; how can I impersonate your young master?" Guan Yue declined.
Direction East quickly replied, "Don't worry, you won't need to speak; we will handle everything. You just need to make the trip; there is no danger involved. If there is any deception or trickery, we will take full responsibility."
Guan Yue used the Mental Peeping Technique and saw that Direction East was sincere in his words. He then said, "I have just arrived here and know nothing about this place. I hope you two can guide me."
Fang West exclaimed in surprise, "We just arrived as well and are completely in the dark. However, this matter is urgent, and we have no choice but to ask for your help. Please, we implore you to assist us."
Seeing that the siblings were genuinely seeking to collect a debt without ulterior motives, Guan Yue agreed. The three of them set out together.
On the way, Guan Yue gathered a lot of information; the two siblings shared everything openly and sincerely, which allowed Guan Yue to gain considerable insight.
"I have now reached the Supreme God of the Great Dao. I wonder where I can find methods to break through to the Heavenly Realm," Guan Yue directly asked after some conversation, realizing that the siblings were not bad people.
"May I ask what you are cultivating?" Fang West asked curiously.
Guan Yue observed their expressions while casually saying, "Dragon Python Divine Realm Technique."
"Since you have already reached the Great Path Realm, how could you not know about methods to break through to the Heavenly Realm? Could it be that you come from the Lower Realm? Where might that be?" Fang West asked frankly.
Seeing that they were not overly surprised, Guan Yue felt more at ease. He replied, "I indeed come from Yongning Continent; I hope you will keep this confidential."
Fang West smiled, "Our family has many disciples from the Lower Realm. They only know about the Great Dao Realm, which is why I thought you might be from there. Rest assured; we won't speak of it."
Direction East added, "I can tell you about the methods for breaking through to the Heavenly Realm right now. However, methods for cultivation beyond that level can only be taught by core members of various families, major powers, or great empires; they are high-level secrets of the Dragon Python Celestial Domain. Achieving that may come with some complications."
Saying this, Direction East pointed to the forehead of Guan Yue, and Guan Yue immediately received a stream of information. After careful consideration, he realized it was a cultivation method. Guan Yue then understood that the Minor Ancestor Realm and the Great Dao Realm were both about cultivating Spatial Ability, while the Breaking Heaven Realm was about perfecting one's own deficiencies. It could also be described as cultivating a repair technique. This left Guan Yue secretly astonished. Could it be that there was another significant breakthrough after the Breaking Heaven Realm? Otherwise, there would be no need to further perfect oneself on the foundation of the Great Dao Realm.
Having obtained the cultivation method for the Breaking Heaven Realm, Guan Yue felt elated, and his interactions with the two siblings increased significantly; the three gradually became inseparable. Guan Yue learned that Direction East and Fang West were from the Fang Family, which was considered a prominent family in the Ocean Harmony Empire, ranking fifth among families in the empire.
The two siblings belonged to the Fang Family's relatives, but both had achieved the Great Dao Realm through their own cultivation, so they were valued by their family. This was also their first time completing a mission independently, which made them quite nervous.
The three were of similar age and shared similar interests; even their cultivation levels were close, making their conversations increasingly enjoyable. By the time they reached their destination, Guan Yue had completely regarded the siblings as good friends.
The siblings had come to the Wang Family to collect a debt. A few years ago, due to financial difficulties, the Wang Family borrowed ten thousand taels of Golden Red Sand from their in-laws, and now it was time for repayment. Direction East and Fang West had come to retrieve this debt. However, since it was their first time carrying out a family mission, they were worried about messing things up. Thus, they came up with the idea of having Guan Yue represent the young master of the Fang Family; naturally, the Wang Family would not delay payment when it came to a young master. As for covering Guan Yue's expenses initially, they planned to pay him back with bonuses once they returned to their family.
The three arrived at the Wang Family's door, and Direction East instructed Guan Yue to say little while he stepped forward to knock.
How could the Wang Family close their doors during broad daylight?
After negotiating with the gatekeeper, they were brought to the Family Head's quarters, where they found him in tears, staring blankly at a woman lying on the bed, unable to speak through his sobs.
The three quickly stepped back and learned that just last night, the Family Head's mother had been secretly harmed by someone and was now on the brink of death.
The Family Head was extremely filial and cared for his mother meticulously. Seeing her in such a state after being harmed left him unable to handle any affairs.
Seeing this situation, the servants had no choice but to ask Guan Yue and his companions to stay temporarily until the Family Head regained his composure.
However, for three consecutive days, the Family Head's mother lingered on the edge of life and death while he remained by her side without leaving for even a moment.
Guan Yue thought this wasn't right and began to inquire further; it turned out that the Family Head's mother had suffered severe mental trauma, which caused her current condition.
Mental trauma? Guan Yue then had an idea.
He told one of Wang Family's servants: "Go tell your master that this young master will attempt to examine Old Matriarch; perhaps I can help her."
The servant thanked him repeatedly and hurried off to relay the message. He himself hoped to earn a reward for this.
Direction East and West hurriedly stopped Guan Yue, saying, "Young Master, we cannot joke about Old Matriarch's condition. Any mistake could lead to a conflict between our two families. Please, do not take this lightly."
Guan Yue smiled and replied, "Brother Fang, rest assured. I have a certain level of confidence regarding mental issues. If it doesn't work out, at least we tried, and the Wang family won't hold it against us."
Direction East reiterated, "You must be careful, Young Master. We cannot afford any mishaps; it would be disastrous for us."
As the three were speaking, Lord Wang had already sent people ahead.
In recent days, Family Head had invited over a dozen renowned doctors to examine his mother, but none could treat her illness, leaving him anxious and restless.
Today, upon hearing that the young master of the Fang Family could potentially heal his mother, Family Head decided to let him try, treating it as a last resort.
After entering, Guan Yue and the others bowed to Family Head. He quickly said, "No need for excessive formalities; please let the young master examine her as soon as possible."
Understanding the family head's urgency, Guan Yue immediately began to mentally probe Old Matriarch, discovering that a thin iron needle had been inserted into Old Man's nerve channel by someone else.
Realizing he had found an opportunity, he addressed Family Head, saying, "Respected Family Head, I am absolutely confident in treating Old Matriarch's condition. However, this illness is quite peculiar; if we aim for a complete cure, the required materials are very expensive. If we only need to manage the symptoms, it won't require much expenditure. Please decide how you wish to proceed."
Family Head was taken aback. "Can you really treat Old Matriarch's illness?"
"I guarantee it with my life; there is no exaggeration here. Please act quickly; time is of the essence and unexpected events may arise," Guan Yue deliberately provoked him.
Hearing that Guan Yue was willing to stake his life on it made Family Head believe him somewhat. He then declared loudly, "Old Man, we must cure my mother's illness! What do you need? The Wang family will prepare it immediately."
After a moment of hesitation, Guan Yue casually listed several items: "Red Beard Grass, Horsehead Leaf, Orchid Tree Root, Snow Lotus, Yishen Tree Leaf, Dragon Whiskers, Great Dao Pill, Eternal Ganoderma, Thousand-Year Mica Essence, -----"
He continued naming over twenty items necessary for breaking through to the Heavenly Realm and even mentioned the Great Dao Pill. This raised some suspicion in Family Head, but with control over the situation, he wasn't worried about Guan Yue escaping.
Thus, he said nothing further and ordered his subordinates to gather the items without any mistakes.
At that moment, Guan Yue immediately drove everyone out of the room, even the Family Head, leaving only Direction East and Fang West. He then established a locked space within the room.
Upon hearing the name of the medicine mentioned by Guan Yue, Direction East understood his intentions. He didn't mind since the Wang family was paying for it; why not take advantage of it? However, he was concerned about whether Guan Yue could actually cure Old Matriarch's illness.
Guan Yue smiled and said, "Actually, I've already cured Old Matriarch's illness. Keeping her in a coma is just to allow her Consciousness some time to recover."
Seeing that Direction East and his sister were skeptical, Guan Yue added with a smile, "Shall we make a bet?"
Direction East dared not accept; he increasingly found Guan Yue mysterious. Fang West then said, "This isn't a matter for betting. If you mess up, it could cost us our lives."
Guan Yue laughed and said, "You two are my first friends since arriving in the Dragon Python Celestial Domain—no, my first pair of friends. Actually, my first and second friends! How could I bear to harm you? Let me tell you, if the Family Head provides me with enough medicinal materials, I can even help you refine the pills needed for your breakthrough to the Breaking Heaven Realm."
Upon hearing this, Direction East and Fang West were overjoyed. Fang West grabbed Guan Yue's hand and shook it vigorously with a beaming smile, saying affectionately, "Guan Young Master is truly wonderful. There are too few good people like you nowadays."
Direction East chimed in teasingly, "Sister, have you perhaps taken a liking to Guan Young Master?"
This made Fang West realize what was happening; she quickly pulled her hand away from Guan Yue and covered her face with both hands, blushing deeply.
Direction East continued to stir the pot, "My sister will turn sixteen this year; she's just starting to experience feelings of love and has fallen for Guan Young Master at first sight. I truly envy you, Guan Young Master. You should know that my sister has always had high standards."
Fang West could no longer tolerate this and began chasing her brother around the room playfully. Watching their sibling bond brought to mind Ouyang Shaohua and other women, stirring some unexpected feelings within him.
