"I know you. You are the famous Master Xian on the Trading Island. If I'm not wrong, you should be from the Nine Great Prefectures. "
Luo Xin Jie spoke softly. Like an empress sitting above the nine heavens, she stared down at everyone and the world.
"That's right. I am from the nine continents." Ling Xian smiled and admitted. Even though the culture on the 36 islands was similar to that of the nine continents, those who are observant can see the differences between the two.
Therefore, he was not surprised that Luo Xin Jie had figured out his background. What surprised him was the change in her temperament. One moment, she was flirtatious and flirtatious. The next second, she was dignified and noble like an empress.
This huge contrast surprised Ling Xian. He didn't think Luo Xin Jie would be so interesting.
"Very good. I like to keep things short and get straight to the point." Luo Xin Jie's expression was emotionless as she stared straight at Ling Xian. She spoke with authority, "Since you are an array grandmaster and you are from the nine continents, then you must be thinking of a way to make a portal and go back, right?"
"That's right."
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up. As smart as he was, he naturally guessed Luo Xin Jie's intention. He asked, "You want to go to the nine continents?"
"Smart." Luo Xin Jie's eyes flashed with strangeness, "Since you have guessed my plan, then do you agree to it?"
"That … depends on what you are willing to pay."
Ling Xian grinned. He willingly accepted Luo Xin Jie's punishment because he was in the wrong and he was willing to take responsibility. But this didn't mean he would soften and take this woman to the nine continents for free. On top of that, he hasn't achieved his goal yet. If he doesn't take advantage of this opportunity, then wouldn't it be a waste?
"Interesting. You are very interesting." Luo Xin Jie teased. But very quickly, she erased her smile and said coldly, "You dare to talk to me about payment? Are you not afraid that I will kill you?"
"Kill me?"
Ling Xian shook his head with a smile. There was no trace of fear on his face. Instead, it was full of confidence. Looking at the empress-like Luo Xin Jie, he uttered out a statement that was full of confidence.
"I willingly took three palm strikes from you because I was in the wrong, not because I'm afraid of you. Furthermore, don't think that you can defeat me. If we were to fight to the death, you might not be able to kill me. "
"What a courageous man."
Luo Xin Jie revealed a mysterious smile, "How many years has it been since you dared to talk to me like this? You are good, very good."
"I don't need you to tell me whether I'm good or not." Ling Xian's eyes flashed with mockery. "Let's talk about the reward. Of course, if you don't plan on going, then pretend I never said anything."
Luo Xin Jie frowned and stared at Ling Xian. Then, the pressure she exuded suddenly disappeared. What replaced it was coquettishness and sexiness.
This sudden change made Ling Xian frown. He felt like this woman was like a dense fog that was hard to see through.
Just as he was pondering, Luo Xin Jie's silhouette flashed. Just like before, she planned on getting closer to Ling Xian.
However, Ling Xian had been taken advantage of once, why would he do it again? Against the approaching Luo Xin Jie, he did not resist nor did he dodge. Instead, he slowly extended his right hand.
Just like before, his slender hand was aimed at the woman's chest.
Instantly, Luo Xin Jie's face flushed red. She stared at Ling Xian hatefully and stopped her steps. She didn't get any closer.
At this, Ling Xian laughed out loud. His voice was full of arrogance. He finally realized that though this woman appeared flirtatious, she was very conservative on the inside. This was why he extended his right hand again to test her.
The result was, of course, his victory.
Seeing Ling Xian's laughter, Luo Xin Jie glared at him. Then, she revealed an alluring smile and said in a sweet voice, "Aye, you are so bad. How dare you bully me like this."
"I am not bullying you, I am being cautious." The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up, "Okay, less bullsh * t. Let's talk about the reward."
"Aye, why are you so greedy? Don't tell me you don't want to go back to the nine continents with me? "Luo Xin Jie was flirtatious. Her every movement and every smile she made was alluring.
Sadly, Ling Xian had a determined mentality. After witnessing the other side of this woman, why would he be seduced by her?
"Don't pretend to be so sexy. I won't fall for it." Ling Xian brandished his hand and suggested, "How about this. Let me pick three treasures from this pile and I will take you back to the nine continents. What do you think?"
"You said it. Don't lie to me." Luo Xin Jie revealed a proud smile. She always carried the real treasures with her. The treasures before her were just things she randomly tossed here. They weren't really treasures.
Therefore, when Ling Xian asked to pick three treasures, she smiled proudly. She felt like no matter what he picked, she would be the one getting the most out of it.
Seeing how proud Luo Xin Jie was, Ling Xian silently chuckled. He had checked with his Qi and found out that there were three fragments here. This was why he asked to pick three.
"Don't worry, I am not someone who goes back on my words."
Looking at the proud Luo Xin Jie, Ling Xian's lips curled up into a sarcastic smile. He thought to himself, "Laugh, laugh all you want. The more proud you are now, the more you will regret it when you find out one day that I picked a fragment of the Sixth Samsara. "
"Okay, it's a deal."
Luo Xin Jie continued to smile, feeling like she got the most out of it. She didn't know that not only did she not gain anything, but she also lost everything.
How much are the three fragments worth? Nobody knows. But one thing is for sure, even Luo Xin Jie's entire fortune cannot compare to them!
"I sure can't wait to see the expression on your face when you find out they are fragments of the Sixth Samsara." Ling Xian chuckled to himself, "Since you agreed, then I will begin."
As he spoke, he slowly walked up to the small mountain of treasures. He first pondered for a moment, then pretended to pick through them. Finally, he picked out three palm-sized black fragments from the pile of treasures.
"Hmm?"
Luo Xin Jie frowned slightly. She didn't think Ling Xian would ignore all the other beautiful treasures and pick out these three black and swarthy fragments. This confused her.
However, she didn't know the origin of these fragments. She simply thought these items were strange and collected them. She had been keeping them here and didn't think much of them.
Now that Ling Xian had picked out these fragments, she was confused but didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Ling Xian sighed in relief. He knew that Luo Xin Jie didn't know these were fragments of the Sixth Samsara. This made him feel proud, but at the same time, he felt ecstatic.
These were three fragments. Plus the two he already had, he now had a total of five fragments!
Though the hope of collecting all the fragments was very low, he was seeing a ray of light. One day, he will be able to recreate the Sixth Samsara's power!
"What a great harvest. This trip sure was worth it." Ling Xian was secretly ecstatic. However, he didn't show it on his face, afraid that Luo Xin Jie would see through him.
"Are you sure you want to pick these three fragments?" Luo Xin Jie teased, full of pride.
"That's right. Though it looks useless, I am a collector of strange things." Ling Xian suppressed his laughter, thinking that Luo Xin Jie was extremely dumb.
She had lost a treasure, yet she was acting like she got a great bargain. Why wouldn't he laugh?
Luo Xin Jie frowned and looked at Ling Xian suspiciously. But in the end, she didn't see anything wrong with him and agreed.
After all, not everyone knows what a fragment of the Sixth Samsara was. Even with her high status, it was hard for her to recognize it!
"If that's the case, then let's put it this way. As long as I make the spatial portal, I will take you back to the nine continents." Ling Xian grinned and asked, "I wonder how I can contact you?"
"Easy. Take this and send me a message." Luo Xin Jie grinned and handed over an exquisite silver crane to Ling Xian.
It was one of the most common methods of communication in the Taoism community, the Thousand Mile Crane.
"Okay, I will send you a message when the time comes." Ling Xian nodded softly and put away the mechanical crane and the three fragments, "Since we are done here, then I will leave."
"Okay. But remember, if you don't show up, I will cause trouble for the Yan Clan." Luo Xin Jie's eyes were teasing. She pointed out a finger and drew a circle on Ling Xian's chest. She grinned, "Also, don't forget the promise of one hit."
"Don't worry. I will not go back on my word." Ling Xian shook his head with a bitter smile. In a flash, he disappeared from where he stood.
"Aiyaya, you actually walked so fast. Could it be that this servant is a man-eating tiger?" Luo Xin Jie peeked at the entrance of the cave. But underneath her resentment, there was a trace of playfulness.
"What an interesting man. I look forward to our next meeting."
…..
"Phew … this vixen."
Ling Xian cursed under his breath and suppressed the fire burning in his stomach. He then found a random cave and decided to heal his wounds first.
Just like that, two months passed. Only then did he fully recover from the injuries caused by Luo Xin Jie's attack. Then, he broke out of his isolation and headed towards the Yan Clan.
It had been three months since he left the Yan Clan. Calculating the time, it was about time for Yan Xiong Fei to return home. He naturally had to go to the Yan Clan and ask if the three clans agreed to the alliance.
After flying for three days, Ling Xian finally arrived at the Yan Clan. Then, he went straight to Yan Xiong Fei's study room.
It's been a long time since they last met. Yan Xiong Fei was still as handsome as ever. His temperament was extraordinary and he had the dignity of a ruler.
When he saw the travel-worn Ling Xian, the first thing he said made Ling Xian both happy and worried.
"The three clans have agreed to the alliance. But … they made a request."
