Li Yunxiao's face darkened. He shouted angrily, "Aunt Shen! What are you talking about? You just ate a few of your Dao Fruits of Martial Will, and now you want to pick a fight with me! Is this your idea or Master Qing Luo's? "He said angrily," Humph! Don't give them to others if you don't want to! You're just putting on a show. You're a member of the Seven Major Merchant Alliance, you poor bastard! "
He took out a bag of Yuan Stones and threw it on the table. He snorted and said, "I'll pay you. I only have a few Yuan Stones on me, and I'll give them all to you."
Qing Luo's face alternated between red and white. She had always been a prideful person, or she wouldn't have collected some Martial Will Dao Fruits as decorations to show off her status. This was especially so when she heard Li Yunxiao call her a pauper. It was as if she had been greatly insulted, and her eyes were spitting fire as she glared at Shen Li.
"You …"
Shen Li was exasperated. She knew Li Yunxiao was trying to change the subject. However, Qing Luo's face had turned hostile. Shen Li hurriedly said, "Master Qing Luo, this guy is really …"
"Aunt Shen, I understand now!"
Li Yunxiao interrupted. His eyes were filled with coldness. He said coldly, "I know what you're trying to do. Back in the Singing Forest, you seemed to have signed an agreement with our Rookie Mercenary Group. Let me see if I have it with me. I can show it to Master Qing Luo."
When Shen Li heard this, her entire body trembled violently as she looked at Li Yunxiao with a face full of fear and pleading.
The agreement they signed in the west of the city had betrayed the interests of the Tianyi Pavilion. However, they were forced to do so by the circumstances. If they didn't sign it, they would be dead meat. It was not her fault that the four major Chambers of Commerce had signed the agreement. However, now that Li Yunxiao had brought it up, Qing Luo would be scared to death if he added more details to the story.
Qing Luo was puzzled. "What agreement?"
Li Yunxiao pretended to stroke his storage ring and said, "Let me have a look. By the way, Auntie Shen, what did you say about me just now? "
The blood drained from Shen Li's face. She stuttered, "It's true … it's true, it's true, it's true that you've never seen the world before. It's just over twenty Martial Will Dao Fruits. The Tianyi Pavilion can easily take them out. Why are you paying us?"
When Qing Luo heard 'more than twenty Martial Intent Dao Fruits', her heart skipped a beat. She forced a smile and said, "That's right. City Lord Yunxiao is young and promising. Those Dao Fruits can be considered a greeting gift."
The people of the Sacred Fire Hall were dumbfounded when they heard this. More than twenty Martial Will Dao Fruits as a greeting gift … They also felt that it was strange. Qing Luo was obviously burning with anger and could barely control herself. How could she still forcefully endure it? Was it because she wanted to chase after the Skeleton Mercenary Troop?
Logically speaking, there was no need for that. With these people's methods, they could just directly capture them and interrogate them.
As expected, Qing Luo quickly asked cautiously, "City Lord Yunxiao's amazing performance in Yanwu City has shocked the world. Even Li Huachi, the Lyra Emperor Wu, has come out to support you. What's the relationship between City Lord Yunxiao and Lord Li Huachi? "
"What? He knows Li Huachi? And Li Huachi is supporting him?! "
The faces of the people of the Sacred Fire Hall changed. They were all shocked. Although they were a secluded sect, the name of one of the ten great Emperor Wu was well-known even to a three-year-old child. They looked at Li Yunxiao with a different expression.
Li Yunxiao sneered inwardly and thought to himself, "So that's what it is. I was wondering why he could tolerate it after becoming a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle!"
He put on a look of admiration and bragged, "Li Huachi is my cousin!"
"What, what?!"
Qing Luo was dumbfounded. She looked Li Yunxiao up and down and said in disbelief, "Cousin? City Lord Yunxiao is not even twenty, and Lord Li Huachi has been famous for decades. This age gap … Moreover, I've never heard of Li Huachi having a cousin or something like that? "
Li Yunxiao was displeased and muttered, "Do I have to report to you if my cousin has any relatives?"
Qing Luo felt dizzy and did not know if it was true or not. The intelligence department of the merchant union could be said to be the best in the world. They had detailed records of all the experts in the Sky Martial Continent, including their connections and relatives. All kinds of information about the ten great Emperor Wu and the leaders of the seven great forces were gathered in their minds and could be spoken of at any time. However, they had never heard of Li Huachi having a cousin.
She probed, "Li Huachi is eccentric and rarely interacts with others. Could you be a relative of his deceased lover, Xue Chenxi?"
Li Yunxiao's eyes narrowed and his face was full of shock. He said in shock, "What? Deceased lover? Xue Chenxi is dead? How did she die? "
He was extremely shocked. Xue Chenxi was the goddess that Li Huachi had a crush on for a long time. At the same time, she was also the Holy Maiden of the Fuyao Holy Palace. It was a pity that Li Huachi had a crush on her, but Xue Chenxi only pursued the pinnacle of martial arts. Because of this, Li Huachi had once built a hut outside Thousand Leaf Island. Every day, he would play the zither and read ancient scrolls. Even after ten years, he still could not move Xue Chenxi.
It was only until the Ranking Tournament of the Heaven and Earth List that he left. Xue Chenxi also obtained the title of the world's number one icy beauty.
It was said that Li Huachi went to participate in the Ranking Tournament of the Heaven and Earth List because he was provoked by Xue Chenxi. He wanted to obtain the title of the world's number one and win the beauty's heart. However, things did not go as he wished. These arrogant experts who thought that they were invincible only realized that there was always someone better than them in the Ranking Tournament of the Sanctuary. With his cultivation that was above the peak of the Jiutian realm, he only managed to obtain the fifth place.
As for the experts of the various forces, including the Sect Masters of the major sects and countless hermit experts, they were even more humiliated. They were ranked dozens of places behind. Fortunately, the Sect Masters of the seven major forces did not participate in the Ranking Tournament. This kind of ranking tournament was known to the entire world, and they could not afford to lose face.
It was said that after the ranking tournament, Li Huachi felt that he was too ashamed to return to Thousand Leaf Island and disappeared from the continent. It was not until the news of Xue Chenxi's death spread that there was another bloody storm.
He could not figure out who in the world could kill the Holy Maiden of the Fuyao Holy Palace, the woman that Li Huachi loved the most.
Qing Luo's face was full of astonishment. She said in a daze, "You, you don't know that Xue Chenxi is dead?"
She frowned as if she was very suspicious of Li Yunxiao's identity. However, the world knew about Xue Chenxi's death, and it was not a secret to ordinary warriors. How could Qing Luo not know? Moreover, Li Huachi did declare that he would protect him in Yanwu City. As for the cause of Xue Chenxi's death, the Tianyi Pavilion did have some information, but it was all top secret. "Xue Chenxi has been dead for almost ten years."
"Ten years …"
Li Yunxiao was stunned. Ten years ago, he was still a child, arrogant and domineering in the capital city of the Tianshui Nation. There was no way he would know about the major events in the world. A trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes. He sighed and said, "No wonder he would live in seclusion in the Tianxiang Nation of the Southern Region. I remember that Xue Chenxi is from the Tianxiang Nation."
Qing Luo's heart skipped a beat. She saw the loneliness on Li Yunxiao's face. It was not an act, but a genuine melancholy and loneliness. It seemed that this young man was indeed related to Li Huachi, but it was strange that he did not know about Xue Chenxi's death. She smiled and said, "Let's not talk about these unhappy things. Li Huachi has not shown his face since Xue Chenxi's death. The first time in the past ten years was in Yanwu City. I wonder if he has recovered from his grief? "
Qing Luo stared closely into Li Yunxiao's eyes, hoping to find some clues. However, to her surprise, she discovered that her efforts were futile. No matter how powerful her Divine Sense was, she was unable to detect even the slightest fluctuation in his emotions.
Li Yunxiao smiled faintly and said, "I know about my cousin's recent situation very well. We often exchange letters."
Qing Luo was stunned. She understood what Li Yunxiao was trying to say. He was aware of Li Huachi's situation, but why should he tell him? She suddenly realized that this young man was not as simple as she had imagined. She recalled that Shen Li had said that he was a schemer, but it seemed that he was right.
However, she still did not take it seriously. There was no way a child could turn the world upside down. She smiled and said, "The Tianyi Pavilion would like to ask for Master Li Huachi's help. As for the reward, as long as Master Li Huachi is willing to name it, we will be able to afford it!" Only the four core alliances of the seven major merchant alliances had made such a bold claim! If there was a reward that even they could not afford, no one else in the world could.
Li Yunxiao was enlightened. "So, you have something to ask of me. No wonder you are so polite. I was puzzled for a long time." He immediately put on airs and snorted, "Reward? Back in the Singing Forest, I helped you deal with the Four Extremes Sect. What happened to the promised reward of the Nine Evil Yellow Spring? "
Qing Luo was taken aback. Then, she smiled and said, "Shen Li told me about it. But we agreed to capture Tang Jie alive. I don't think Governor Yunxiao has fulfilled his promise."
Li Yunxiao's eyes bulged and he said angrily, "In order to help you, I have completely broken off my relationship with the Four Extremes Sect. I will have to hide from them no matter where I go! Even if I don't get any credit, I should at least get some hard work, right? Even if you don't give me a bucket of the Nine Evil Yellow Spring, at least give me one or two bottles! "
One or two bottles …
Qing Luo smiled awkwardly and said, "Governor Yunxiao, you must be joking. The Nine Evil Yellow Spring is derived from the source of all water. Every drop of it is priceless. Not even the entire Merchant League can afford one or two bottles of it, let alone the Tianyi Pavilion. As for breaking off your relationship with the Four Extremes Sect, that's even more ridiculous. You killed Tang Yuan on Mount Meru and broke off your relationship with them. "
Li Yunxiao sneered and said, "My cousin's reward is one or two bottles of the Nine Evil Yellow Spring. If you don't have it, then forget it."
Qing Luo was speechless. She suppressed her anger and said calmly, "Governor Yunxiao, please don't joke around. This is a very important matter. It will benefit both the Tianyi Pavilion and Lord Li Huachi. Please convey the goodwill of the Tianyi Pavilion to him. "
Li Yunxiao knew he could not continue to be unreasonable. Qing Luo seemed to have reached the bottom line. If he continued to play along, it would be bad for both parties. In the Demon Plain, he still had to rely on this big tree.
