After a long time, Xiao Chen put away the Dragon Pattern Cauldron. Then, he entered deep thought as he looked at the flower basket in his hand.
The exterior of the flower basket was exquisite, adorned with all sorts of flowers. Aside from its pretty appearance, there was nothing special about it.
However, when Xiao Chen saw the wonders of the flower basket in the Smiling Daughter Pavilion, he naturally would not treat it as an ordinary flower basket.
However, it seemed that its miraculous effect was only a decoration.
It looked incredibly gorgeous, filled with flowers, and powerful sword dances. These were all things that tempted profligates to throw money at.
Some looked impressive, but they were useless. If they were really useful, Jiang He would not have casually tossed them to Xiao Chen.
Could there be Spirit Jades in there?
I better not think about it. Even if there were, Jiang He would have taken them all. Why would he leave them for me?
Never mind, I should refine it first. No matter what, it is a Dao Tool, after all.
When Xiao Chen sent his Spiritual Sense into the flower basket, he immediately felt the world spin around him as if he had entered a maze.
Countless exquisite screens were placed in the middle, crisscrossing and looking incredibly complicated.
No matter how Xiao Chen tried, he could not get out, completely trapped inside. After some thought, Xiao Chen increased the strength of his Spiritual Sense and sent in some Soul Energy.
Xiao Chen prepared to force his way through. "Rumble …!" Xiao Chen crashed into the screens, breaking one after another.
However, the result was that he sank deeper and deeper. It was like there was no end to it.
How troublesome!
Xiao Chen lost his patience, and his Spiritual Sense directly exploded. "Rumble …!" The entire maze shattered.
The screens shattered into pieces like glass and floated in the air.
Xiao Chen revealed a smile on his face. However, before his smile could spread out, it froze.
With a 'whoosh,' all the screen fragments reassembled, turning into a brand new maze that was even larger and more complicated.
The more problematic thing was that Xiao Chen discovered that he could not pull out this portion of his Spiritual Sense.
Xiao Chen was completely trapped inside. He could only escape if he severed it.
However, this was Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense, which involved Soul Energy. If he severed it, his soul would be affected.
Damn it, this is bad. No wonder Jiang He was not greedy.
It turned out that Xiao Chen already knew that unless he possessed the strength of a Cloud Sea Star Venerate, he would not be able to forcefully break out of this maze and obtain control over this flower basket.
It was just a decoration in his hand, completely useless. It couldn't even bring out those mysterious phenomena.
What should he do?
Xiao Chen fell into a dilemma. He could either sever his divine sense and accept his bad luck and suffer the damage to his soul. At the very least, his life wouldn't be in danger.
Or he could continue walking and solve this maze.
Hesitation was not Xiao Chen's character. He immediately made a decision. Xiao Chen cut off his Spiritual Sense and retreated.
Face pale and dizzy, Xiao Chen's body swayed for a while.
He closed his eyes and covered his head. After resting for a while, Xiao Chen barely regained some energy.
However, the damage to his soul would require several days to recover.
Looking at the flower basket, he smiled bitterly. Before Jiang He left, he had left a hole for himself.
He was indeed a very interesting person. He seemed carefree and always had a smile on his face. In reality, he was extremely proud in his heart, unwilling to admit defeat. He was bold but careful.
However, Xiao Chen did not hate Jiang He, not even close to hating Jiang He.
The relationship between the two was more like that of opponents. Jiang He could sense the saber intent in Xiao Chen's body and confirm his identity as a bladesman.
Jiang He was also present. He immediately saw through the saber intent that the other party hid. Before a true bladesman, that sharpness could not be hidden.
When two true bladesmen fought, they would definitely have a competitive mentality. Neither would be willing to admit defeat.
While the two did not seem to have any conflicts, in reality, they had clashed more than once.
In the Soaring Dragon Pavilion, they could be considered to have fought once. Xiao Chen caused the other party to suffer a loss, and the other party even treated him to a drink.
In the Smiling Daughter Pavilion, Jiang He stole the Fairy Basket without anyone noticing, turning the tables on Xiao Chen.
Earlier, when the two fought the three, they had purposely held back, wanting to see who would reveal their true trump card in the end.
However, neither of them revealed their trump cards, so it was a draw.
"Like you, I also look forward to meeting you again, whether I attack you or not."
A smile appeared on Xiao Chen's face. Then, he put away the Fairy Basket and returned to the city to look for Ling Yu.
In the Smiling Daughter Pavilion:
When Xiao Chen returned, the place was already deserted, no longer as bustling as before.
Xiao Chen, who knew the reason, was not surprised. After reporting, he found Ling Yu happily drinking tea in a private room.
"Martial Uncle, why are you back?"
When Ling Yu saw Xiao Chen, he felt greatly startled.
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "After escaping that group of people, I was afraid that you would worry about me, so I came back to meet you and say goodbye."
"Goodbye?" Ling Yu felt somewhat shocked. "Martial Uncle, you are not returning to the Purple Flame Sect?"
Xiao Chen nodded. "That's right. I plan to remain in the Soaring Dragon Great Realm for a while before returning to the Grave Sea."
"How long?"
"Maybe half a year, maybe one year."
Ling Yu felt disappointed. However, he understood. His martial uncle's cultivation had reached a bottleneck. It was time for him to go out on experiential training.
Furthermore, this Soaring Dragon Great Realm was filled with experts. The truly incredible people of the dozens of astral zones were all here.
With Martial Uncle's strength, this was the most suitable place for experiential training. The Grave Sea was rather small.
Ling Yu thought of something, and his expression changed slightly. "Oh, right. Martial Uncle, something major happened in the Smiling Daughter Pavilion. "
"Oh? What major matter? "Xiao Chen asked despite knowing the answer.
Ling Yu whispered, "Their Fairy Basket disappeared. That Fairy Basket is extremely precious. Without that flower basket, the Smiling Daughter Pavilion cannot continue operating. They need to wait for the headquarters to send a new Fairy Basket. However, the refinement of the Fairy Basket is extremely complicated. There are many steps and takes a long time. "
"This Soaring Dragon City's Smiling Daughter Pavilion probably can't continue operating …"
Ripples appeared in Xiao Chen's heart, but he did not show it on his face. Unexpectedly, the matter blew up so much.
However, it was impossible for Xiao Chen to hand over the Fairy Basket.
Xiao Chen kept feeling that this Fairy Basket still had some mysteries and great value. In any case, it would not be traced back to him.
Xiao Chen asked softly, "Are there any clues? Who stole it?"
Ling Yu shook her head and replied, "No. The person who did it did not leave any traces. This is simply strange. Right now, they suspect that a Holy Venerate did something to it. After all, this Smiling Daughter Pavilion has a Cloud Sea Star Venerate guarding it. "
Xiao Chen smiled in his heart. This is a grave mistake. That fellow, Jiang He, could even steal the Dragon Race's treasure.
Furthermore, the Smiling Daughter Pavilion's Fairy Basket was a treasure of the Dragon Race. There were peak Dragon Race experts guarding it, at least Sovereign Personages.
"Sorry, there was some chaos in the Smiling Daughter Pavilion, so I did not receive Young Master Xiao personally."
As Ling Yu spoke, headliner Ling Long walked in with an apologetic expression on her face.
Xiao Chen felt embarrassed in his heart. Such sincerity made him feel somewhat embarrassed.
However, he definitely could not expose himself now. Xiao Chen nodded and said, "It's fine. I heard from Ling Yu that Miss Ling Long has any plans."
Ling Long smiled bitterly and replied, "What plans can I have? Naturally, I will return to the imperial capital. One cannot do as one pleases in the mundane world."
When Ling Yu heard that, he could not help saying, "Miss Ling Long, how about returning to the Purple Flame Sect with me? Given Miss Ling Long's talent, you can definitely become a true inheritor."
When Xiao Chen heard that, he could not help thinking, She is already used to the bustling world. How can she endure loneliness?
In the end, my little martial nephew is still young and does not understand the ways of the world.
Ling Long did not deny that. Instead, she smiled at Ling Yu and said, "Thank you, Young Master Ling, for your kind intentions. In the future, if I no longer have a place to stay in the Smiling Daughter Pavilion, I will definitely remember Young Master Ling's words."
Ling Yu smiled and said, "No problem. Earlier, Miss Ling Long made arrangements for me without hesitation. Naturally, I, Ling Yu, will do as I say."
Ling Long smiled faintly before saying, "I would like to speak with Young Master Xiao alone."
Ling Yu glanced at his martial uncle curiously before retreating as he was told.
After Ling Yu left, Ling Long's expression changed slightly. Then, she asked directly, "Your friend stole that Fairy Basket, right?"
Xiao Chen's expression did not change, not revealing anything. He looked at Ling Long and asked, "Why do you say that?"
"It is just a suspicion. The time he left was too coincidental. It happened to be when the Fairy Basket was stolen."
Ling Long said sullenly, "Don't worry. I did not tell anyone. No one would believe that a Major Primal Core Venerate would steal the Fairy Basket."
Xiao Chen felt surprised. "Why?"
Ling Long replied softly, "To me, there is no loss. Furthermore, I sincerely treat Young Master Xiao and Young Master Ling as friends. I do not want the two of you to get into trouble."
Xiao Chen felt warmth in his heart. No matter what, as long as Ling Long voiced her suspicions, the Smiling Daughter Pavilion would definitely question him.
The Smiling Daughter Pavilion would definitely question him. That would be troublesome.
"Many thanks."
"You're welcome. If we are fated, we will meet again in the Yanwu Dynasty's capital." Ling Long bowed and left.
As Xiao Chen watched the other party leave, he entered deep thought.
After Ling Yu entered, he asked, "Martial Uncle, what did Miss Ling Long ask you?"
Xiao Chen did not answer the question. "Do you like this girl?"
Ling Yu immediately blushed. "Martial Uncle, why do you ask that?"
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and replied, "Because even a fool can tell that if you like her, you should marry her. Miss Ling Long is a good person."
