Although she was also hungry, they were guests. The host hadn't even started eating yet, so she couldn't just start.
"Mengying, don't blame Souring. We came out in a hurry this morning, so we didn't have much to eat. I'm actually a little hungry too!" Ling Qianxue pulled on Cheng Mengying's sleeve and softly tried to smooth things over.
The young miss had been influenced by the etiquette of a big family since she was young, so she followed the rules. Compared to Tian Souring, who had left home early and lived alone, her worldview was naturally very different.
Therefore, ever since they set off, Cheng Mengying and Tian Souring constantly had small conflicts. Ling Qianxue always acted like a big sister and patiently mediated. Otherwise, the two girls would have already started fighting.
"But Sister Souring is really hungry …" Tian Souring also knew that this was impolite, so she didn't pick up her chopsticks and start eating. However, she was really hungry, so she couldn't help but touch her stomach and mumble.
"Grumble grumble …"
As soon as Tian Souring finished speaking, her stomach cooperated and made a sound, as if it was proving for her.
At this time, Gu Chongyi and Xiao Chen's conversation had just ended, and the rumbling sound was especially clear in the room. Tian Souring's face turned red, and she lowered her head awkwardly.
"Hahaha! This little girl has a simple personality, but she's quite interesting! " Gu Chongyi didn't mind. He laughed heartily and made an inviting gesture. With an apologetic face, he said, "It's all my fault. I got a little excited when I saw Young Hero Xiao, so I couldn't stop talking. Everyone, please take a seat. If the food gets cold, it won't taste good!"
Since the host had already spoken, Xiao Chen and the others didn't bother with pleasantries. After taking a seat, they all raised their chopsticks and started eating.
"Xiao … Hero, how's the knife-shaved noodles today? Is it to your liking? " Everyone chatted as they ate, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Smiling Maitreya walked in with a face full of smiles, rubbing his hands and asking flatteringly.
"Oh, it's alright! What do you want? Don't tell me you want to eat too? "Xiao Chen glanced at him casually.
"No, no, no. How can I do that?" The smiling Maitreya waved his hand and smiled. "Hehe! It's like this, I still have something important to do. If there's nothing else, I'd like to leave first so as not to disturb your rest, Hero Xiao! "
In fact, Smiling Maitreya was just spouting nonsense. He did not have anything important to do. He just did not want to stay in the Green-rock Sect to help Xiao Chen! After all, if this matter were to spread out, it would be too embarrassing. How would they be able to mingle in the martial arts world in the future? He was someone who cared a lot about his reputation!
Anyway, the higher-ups had already said that they would immediately send a few experts over. The smiling Maitreya now only planned to hide near GreenStone Mountain and keep an eye on Xiao Chen's whereabouts. He would only appear when the experts came!
"Yo, you want to run?" Xiao Chen directly exposed the Smiling Maitreya's lie and said with a faint smile, "Don't run away. I still have something to ask you."
"Hero Xiao, please ask. I'll tell you everything I know." The smiling Maitreya wiped the sweat on his head and said softly.
Xiao Chen put down his chopsticks and asked slowly, "I'm afraid you didn't come to Green-rock Sect just to make knife-shaved noodles for me this time, right? Tell me, why are you here? Don't try to fool me, or I'll let you fly down from GreenStone Mountain and experience how a horse flies to death! "
"This …" The smiling Maitreya Buddha was stunned. He thought quickly, wanting to lie to brush Xiao Chen off. However, before he could say anything, he heard Xiao Chen snort coldly. "Think carefully about what to say. Don't seek death!"
Feeling the murderous intent exuded by Xiao Chen, the smiling Maitreya shivered. He knew that he was not joking, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Actually, I received news from the higher-ups that Green-rock Sect found a lot of top-level spiritual jades according to the treasure map left by the sect. So, they sent me to bring people to snatch them. As a result … As a result, I met you at the foot of the mountain."
"Spiritual jades?" Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows and turned his head to ask noncommittally, "Senior Gu, is this guy telling the truth?"
Spiritual jades were good things for cultivation. Xiao Chen was naturally tempted when he heard it. However, since it was found by Green-rock Sect, he would not take advantage of them. If he wanted to get it, he naturally had other ways. For example, he could plunder those shameless sects in Wulin.
"Well, it's true! A while ago, when Xin Xiang was renovating his house, he accidentally found a treasure map left by a senior of the sect. Then, according to the location marked on the map, he found a lot of spiritual jades in the back mountain of GreenStone Mountain. "Gu Chongyi nodded slightly and confirmed the statement of the smiling Maitreya.
"Oh, it seems that you are not lying. In that case, who is your higher-up? What do they need so many spiritual jades for? "Xiao Chen pondered for a while and turned to ask the smiling Maitreya.
The smiling Maitreya hesitated for a while. He did not dare to expose the identity of his higher-up, but he was also afraid that Xiao Chen would be angry and make him 'fly away'. After weighing the pros and cons, he could only answer vaguely, "I … I received orders from the Yin Yun Sect. As for why they want the spiritual jades, I am not too sure! After all, I am only following orders. I dare not ask too many questions! "
"Yin Yun Sect?" Xiao Chen frowned. Wasn't that the sect that Ling 'er was in? How was it related to the smiling Maitreya? Could it be that the Yin Yun Sect was the peak of the Joyful Clan in the Wulin?
"I remember that the Yin Yun Sect is an upright sect! How is it related to the Joyful Clan, a demonic sect? "Gu Chongyi suddenly spoke and asked suspiciously.
"Tsk tsk, looks like you are really not afraid of death! How can you come up with such a clumsy lie? " Upon hearing that, Xiao Chen laughed coldly and said, "I think I should let you have a taste of suffering. Otherwise, you will not tell the truth!"
Standing up, Xiao Chen immediately flashed in front of the smiling Maitreya and picked him up like a little chick. He strode to the window and opened it.
As the Greenrock Sect's guest hall was originally built on the edge of a cliff, the outside of the window was a bottomless abyss. There was not even a place to stand. Xiao Chen grabbed the smiling Maitreya's left leg and directly carried him out of the window.
"Ah! Don't … Xiao, Hero Xiao, everything I said is the truth. I am not lying! Please be magnanimous and spare me! " Half of the smiling Maitreya's body was hanging outside the window. When he lowered his head, he saw the bottomless cliff below. He was so frightened that he almost peed his pants. He quickly stuttered and begged for mercy.
"Alright, tell me everything honestly and I will consider letting you live. Otherwise …" Xiao Chen did not continue speaking. Instead, he loosened his fingers slightly. The smiling Maitreya felt his chubby body suddenly sink …
