"I can't figure it out either …" Li Xianer shook her head and said with some distress, "If it was really the people from the Dada Cultivation Chamber of Commerce who took Xiaoyu away, there's no need for them to look for me to work for them!"
"I remember … Nie Xiaoyu's strength should not be higher than yours, right?" Seeing Li Xianer nod, Xiao Chen raised another doubt, "The kidnappers are too strange. Why did they only take Nie Xiaoyu but not you who is more powerful?"
"I've thought of a reason!" Li Xianer revealed all the thoughts she had been pondering recently. "Maybe some people from big sects or families took a fancy to Nie Xiaoyu's identity as a ghost cultivator and wanted to use her to get something or do something that ordinary people can't do. Otherwise, they wouldn't have only taken Nie Xiaoyu and not me."
Li Xianer's guess was pretty close to the mark. The Second Head and the others kidnapped Nie Xiaoyu because of her identity as a Zombie. However, they failed to get what they wanted because of a freak combination of factors.
At this point, the three of them fell silent. They were worried about Nie Xiaoyu, whose whereabouts were unknown. Li Xianer was the first to come back to her senses and asked, "By the way, why did the two of you come to Qingyue Town?"
"Oh, we originally wanted to go to a place called the Green Demonic Valley, so we came here to ask about the route." Xiao Chen spread his hands and said helplessly, "But after asking for a long time, no one in the town knew. Then, we found you."
At this point, Xiao Chen added, "It's fine that we didn't find the Green Demonic Valley, but we found out that Nie Xiaoyu was taken away. It's simply adding insult to injury!"
As soon as Xiao Chen finished speaking, the two men sitting at the table next to him suddenly froze and looked at each other.
One of the young men turned around eagerly and asked Xiao Chen, "Brother, you just said that you want to go to the Green Demonic Valley, right? My Senior Brother and I know that place, but can you tell us why you want to go to that dangerous place first? "
"Hey, hey, hey. Aren't you guys too rude? How can you eavesdrop on others? Do you have any manners? " Hong Zhu immediately flew into a rage, glaring at the young man and snappily saying, "Besides, we don't even know each other. Even if it were you, you wouldn't easily tell your thoughts to a stranger, right? I think your EQ is worrying! "
The young man felt a little embarrassed after being scolded, but the older man quickly pulled him back. Then, with an embarrassed smile, he cupped his fists towards Hong Zhu and the others and said, "Heh heh, I'm sorry, this Junior Brother of mine is a little too impulsive. I apologize on his behalf!"
Hong Zhu rolled his eyes and ignored him. Xiao Chen shot an indifferent glance at the two people, but did not say anything. There was really no need to show any respect to these people who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
The older man felt a little awkward when he saw that they were ignoring him. He took the initiative to introduce himself, "I'm Wu Gang. He's my junior, Dou Ling. We're all disciples of the Huan Chen Pavilion. I'm sure you've heard of him before …"
"Oh, so it's the Huan Chen Pavilion …" Before Wu Gang could finish speaking, Xiao Chen put on a look of sudden realization.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's the Huan Chen Pavilion …" Wu Gang immediately beamed and nodded repeatedly. Halfway through his sentence, Xiao Chen's expression suddenly changed. He expressionlessly shook his head and coldly interrupted, "I've never heard of it!"
"Pfft …" Hong Zhu and Li Xian 'er could not help but laugh out loud. Xiao Chen was too evil. Not only did he deliberately cut off his words, he even went to tease them.
At first, Wu Gang was quite happy. As expected, there was no one who did not know the name of a sect. However, when he heard the second half of Xiao Chen's sentence, his smile immediately froze on his face. He did not know whether to laugh or cry as he tried to smooth things over, "The Huan Chen Pavilion is the number one sect in the cultivation world. How could you not have heard of it? Little brother, you're quite humorous …"
"Alright, alright. So what if I've heard of it? What are you guys trying to do? " Intuition told Xiao Chen that the two people in front of him were definitely up to no good. They were either asking for help or trying to cheat some Spiritual Crystals. Anyway, they would not take the initiative to tell him the location of the Emerald Magic Valley. There was no such thing as a free lunch in the world!
"Hehe, little brother, you're really straightforward!" Wu Gang let out a sigh of relief. He and Dou Ling failed their mission and failed to bring Tang Tang back to the Huan Chen Pavilion. They were worried about it and drank in the town. They did not expect to bump into Xiao Chen who was asking about the location of the Emerald Magic Valley. Naturally, they would not let go of such a good opportunity.
Looking at Xiao Chen's indifferent expression, Wu Gang quickly explained, "Actually, it's not a big deal. When we were eating just now, we accidentally heard you guys talking about going to the Emerald Magic Valley, but you don't know the exact location of the entrance. Coincidentally, I know the location of the entrance. As the saying goes, helping others is helping ourselves. So, I thought …"
"You want to tell us the condition of the entrance of the Emerald Magic Valley in exchange for me helping you get the item inside, right?" Xiao Chen did not want to listen to Wu Gang's hypocritical words, so he directly interrupted him, "Just say it! What do you want? Don't dawdle here. By the time you're done, it'll be too late! "
In Xiao Chen's opinion, since he knew that Nie Xiaoyu was in danger, he had to hurry up and get the treasure hidden by the Elder Heaven Ancestor in the Emerald Magic Valley as soon as possible. Then, he would think of a way to save Nie Xiaoyu. Otherwise, he did not know what would happen if he delayed any longer!
"Ah …" Wu Gang was a little stunned. He did not expect Xiao Chen to be so direct. After a pause, he smiled and said, "If that's the case, then I'll tell you the truth! Our Fantasy Pavilion needs a natural treasure that grows in the Emerald Magic Valley. It's called Amethyst Nefarious Lotus. If you can help us get it, you can ask for whatever benefits you want. As long as it's not too unreasonable, we can agree to it. "
Although he said that, a trace of viciousness flashed in Wu Gang's eyes. He thought to himself, After you hand over the Amethyst Nefarious Lotus, won't we have the final say in what you want? At that time, we'll definitely cut you into pieces, you ungrateful brat!
"Amethyst Nefarious Lotus? Then let me think about it first … "Naturally, Xiao Chen saw the look in Wu Gang's eyes, but he did not say anything. He raised his eyebrows calmly and put on a state of contemplation. Then, he asked in the sea of consciousness," Elder Heaven Ancestor, what's the use of the Amethyst Nefarious Lotus? Will it be dangerous to harvest it? "
