We all know.
The Xiao Family had a grudge against Ye Zichen. If they could steal his treasures, that would be great.
However, Ye Zichen wasn't the only one with a grudge against the Xiao Family. If it were that easy to steal their treasures, how could they have waited for Ye Zichen to act?
Furthermore, Chi Mei felt far too mysterious. Ye Zichen couldn't trust her completely.
"Hey, tell me if you're going or not!"
When Ye Zichen didn't respond, Chi Mei called out anxiously.
At that moment, Jiao Qi and Meng Huairong returned to the room. Coincidentally, they returned. Ye Zichen changed the subject.
"What's the situation outside?"
"Ms. Chi Mei is right. There is indeed a group of about 20 people outside our shop. Those people were all Immortal Kings, and there were even a few Earth Supreme experts. Huai Rong and I have already dealt with them, "Jiao Qi said, cupping his hands.
"There's really someone? Weren't you always on guard? How come you didn't know that someone had snuck up to our shop? "
When he heard this, Ye Zichen was rather annoyed. Recently, he'd reminded Jiao Qi and the others many times to keep an eye on their surroundings. They couldn't let the people of the Divine Mountains catch them off guard.
But now that they were outside the store, they didn't notice anything. If Chi Mei hadn't suddenly appeared to inform them, what would have happened if they had suddenly attacked?
Although Immortal Kings and Earth Sovereigns weren't strong enough to do anything to them, what if the next team that appeared was strong enough to threaten them?
"Young Master, please calm down! This subordinate has indeed been on guard, and so has Huai Rong. However, this subordinate really doesn't know how they got here! "
Jiao Qi lowered his head. As a Heavenly Yao of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda, he obeyed his master's orders without question. Ever since Ye Zichen told them to keep watch over Ice Blue City, he didn't dare let his guard down in the slightest. Day and night, he sent out his yao awareness to survey the city.
Any rustle of grass in the wind would not be able to escape his demon sense, but …
He really didn't notice the appearance of this group of people.
"Jiao Qi is right. We don't know why this happened either," Meng Huairong said.
"What's so strange about that?" At that moment, Chi Mei pursed her lips and laughed. "One look and I can tell that you've never been to the Sacred Mountain. There are many aura-concealing Dharma treasures on the Sacred Mountain now. Those people have magic treasures that can conceal their auras. In a situation where there is no particularly great disparity in strength, you naturally have no way to detect them. However, this treasure is extremely valuable. It seems like the people of the Divine Mountain are willing to pay a heavy price to deal with you! "
"Is there such a thing?"
Ye Zichen furrowed his brows. Any aura-concealing treasure could hide them from Jiao Qi and Meng Huairong's senses? If everyone on the Divine Mountain had one, then he would be in an absolute passive position.
"Isn't it obvious? Haven't you ever wondered why I would always appear in front of you out of the blue, but you didn't know I was coming?"
Chi Mei pursed her lips into a smile, then shrugged at them.
"Actually, these aura-concealing treasures are very easy to break. The Sacred Mountain also has treasures specifically designed to deal with these types of treasures."
"Do you have it? Sell it to me," said Ye Zichen directly.
"How could I have it?" Chi Mei curled her lips in exasperation. "I'm not the type to invite disaster or cause trouble. Why would I need a treasure like that? Well, I don't have it, but the Xiao Family's emissary should have it, right? "
Chi Mei flashed her little fox smile once more. She smiled craftily and stared directly at Ye Zichen.
"You're doing this on purpose!"
Ye Zichen could tell that she was forcing him onto her pirate ship. Right now, he had no way of breaking an aura-concealing treasure. If he didn't want to worry about anything, he'd have to steal the Xiao Family's emissary.
"Don't say that. I'm just giving you a heads up. Do you want to go or not? It's up to you. "Chi Mei squinted her eyes and smiled.
He had to break the aura-concealing treasure. Otherwise, he'd be in an absolute passive position.
After hesitating for a while, Ye Zichen decided that even though he knew this was a trap, he had no choice but to jump into it.
"How strong is the Xiao Family's emissary?"
"Not too strong, not too strong. He's just a ninth-stage earth supreme."
A ninth-stage earth supreme?
In the Lower Lands, that was a god-like existence. Nevermind a ninth-stage earth supreme, even a first-stage earth supreme could beat up all the immortal kings of the Lower Lands.
Yet from Chi Mei's mouth, it was as if a ninth-stage earth supreme wasn't even worth mentioning.
Or perhaps she knew that Jiao Qi and Meng Huairong were ninth-stage earth supremes as well?
Ye Zichen wasn't quite sure, so he deliberately put on a gloomy expression.
"You really dare say that? If a ninth-stage earth supreme isn't strong, then what do you think is?"
"To everyone else in the Lower Lands, a ninth-stage earth supreme is an unreachable existence. But to you, do you not know whether it's strong or not?" Chi Mei pressed her lips into a smile.
When he heard that, Ye Zichen's heart trembled.
He frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
"Do you really need me to say it out loud? They're both ninth-stage earth supremes, aren't they? And your shop assistants are all earth supremes, aren't they? You have so many earth supremes under your command. Do you really think a measly ninth-stage earth supreme is anything to you? "
When they heard that, Jiao Qi and Meng Huairong were visibly moved. Ye Zichen furrowed his brows.
"How did you know that?"
Chi Mei was definitely only an immortal king. It wasn't just Ye Zichen; even Jiao Qi and Meng Huairong could sense it.
Given her strength, there was no way she could tell how strong Jiao Qi and Meng Huairong were, yet not only did she say that Jiao Qi and Meng Huairong were ninth-stage earth supremes, but she also said the shop assistants were all earth supremes.
"Don't tell me you don't know why I know?" Chi Mei's words clearly held a deeper meaning, especially when he looked into her eyes. Ye Zichen didn't dare look her in the eye.
She knew he had the Yao-Sealing Pagoda!
Ye Zichen instinctively gulped. She definitely knew about the Yao-Sealing Pagoda, and she definitely knew it was in his hands. Otherwise, there was no way she'd say something like that.
"Some things are meaningless once you say them out loud. But treasures belong to the fated. Don't you think so …. Sweetie? "
Boom!
As soon as she said that, Ye Zichen felt like his head was about to explode.
She really did know!
When he saw Chi Mei's smiling expression, Ye Zichen's heart sank.
She knew everything! She knew everything!
"Alright, don't overthink things. Right now, let's talk about our big deal. How about it? Sweetie, are you going or not? "
"I'm going!"
Ye Zichen said without any hesitation.
