"What?" Zhou Yu was dumbfounded. Yu Zimo and the others chuckled.
"Brother Lu sure knows how to calculate. Alright, as long as it's Brother Lu, we'll even give Brother Lu a cut. At the same time, we can cheer Brother Lu on," Zhou Yu said as he rubbed his palms together. "Let's wait for some time first. My injuries haven't healed yet," Lu Xiaotian said as he shook his head.
"Brother Lu's injuries haven't healed yet? Do you need us to do anything? " Yu Zimo was the first to be shocked. She knew a little more about Lu Xiaotian's methods than the others, but she didn't expect that the side effects of using that forbidden technique would be so severe.
"No need. I have the pills on me. I just need some time." Lu Xiaotian waved his hand. "Let's go. If we continue talking, the day will be over. I also need to buy some good pill furnaces."
The group walked out of Lu Xiaotian's pill shop. As they walked out, Lu Xiaotian saw a familiar petite figure. When the other party saw Lu Xiaotian, her eyes also lit up.
"What a coincidence, we meet again. How should I address you, brother?" The person who came was Qi Qian. Seeing Lu Xiaotian's surprised and happy expression, Qi Qian immediately nodded. One.
"Our deal is over. For your own sake, it's best that you stay away from me. " Lu Xiaotian frowned and ignored Qi Qian, who was standing there awkwardly, and left with Yu Zimo and the others.
"That girl just now seemed to know Brother Lu?" As a girl, Guo Jingyu couldn't help but sympathize with Qi Qian when she saw the surprise and joy on Qi Qian's face turn into awkwardness. More or less, she felt that Lu Xiaotian was a little unreasonable.
"Her senior brother was the black-robed man hired by Shang Wuque. Before killing the black-robed man, I made a deal with the black-robed man. The condition was to save her. Tell me, if she finds out that I'm her enemy and seeks revenge in the future, should I kill her or not? "Lu Xiaotian asked.
"What? Her Senior Brother is the black-robed man? Previously, Brother Lu left the team in the prefecture to save her?" Yu Zimo and the others were shocked. Although they were also interested in the content of the transaction, they were not so tactless as to ask about it.
"In that case, it's really not easy to deal with. I think that woman seems to have a good impression of Brother Lu. This matter is really tricky." Zhou Yu shook his head and said. "However, Brother Lu is a man of his word."
"I see." Guo Jingyu nodded.
"Senior Qi, can I have a word with you?" Qi Qian was also puzzled as to why Lu Xiaotian was so distant from her. After returning from Goose Mountain Ridge together, they had more or less become familiar with each other. She was also sincerely thanking him. It wasn't like she had any ulterior motives. While she was somewhat annoyed by Lu Xiaotian's coldness, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"It's you?" Qi Qian saw that the person who had arrived was Spiritual Master Gui Huo, a member of the younger generation of Jin Dan.
"I saw the conversation between Senior Qi and him," Spiritual Master Gui Huo said with a smile.
"What does that have to do with you? From the looks of it, you don't seem to have a good relationship with him, "Qi Qian raised her eyebrows. She didn't feel comfortable with Spiritual Master Gui Huo's scheming gaze.
"My relationship with him is indeed ordinary. However, my understanding of him is far greater than yours. Don't you want to know why he treated you so coldly? "Spiritual Master Gui Huo's eyes revealed a hint of a smile.
"Why?" Qi Qian also couldn't figure it out.
"This isn't the place to talk. Moreover, I'm taking a risk by telling you this. Naturally, you must give me some benefits," Spiritual Master Gui Huo said.
"Alright, let's go somewhere else," Qi Qian nodded. Soon, she and Spiritual Master Gui Huo arrived at a restaurant with few people. There was a restriction that isolated sound and divine sense in the restaurant.
"Can you tell me now? Don't try to mystify me," Qi Qian said as soon as she sat down.
"I can't tell you for free. After all, I'm taking the risk of offending Lu Xiaotian. He's a very murderous person. If he learns that I'm behind this, he won't let me off," Spiritual Master Gui Huo crossed his arms in front of his chest and said calmly.
"So, his name is Lu Xiaotian. Name your price." Qi Qian saw that Spiritual Master Gui Huo had been sheltered by Lu Xiaotian, yet he still chose to betray him. She didn't have a good impression of him. However, she also wanted to know the reason.
Spiritual Master Gui Huo extended a finger and said, "A hundred low-grade spirit crystals. For a Divine Transformation Stage cultivator like you, it should be easy."
"A hundred low-grade spirit crystals? Aren't you afraid that you'll die from overeating? " Qi Qian glared at him. She had just inherited some of her Eldest Senior Brother's assets and only had 2,500 low-grade spirit crystals in her hands. This guy was only at the Jin Dan Stage, yet he dared to ask for such an exorbitant price.
"Even if I die from overeating, you don't have to take responsibility," Spiritual Master Gui Huo said with a smile. "If you're unwilling to part with these hundred low-grade spirit crystals, then forget about it."
"If I find out that you're lying, don't blame me for coming after you!" Qi Qian took a deep breath and slapped the hundred low-grade spirit crystals on the table in front of her.
"Rest assured, Senior. With your cultivation, you don't have to worry about me playing any tricks." Spiritual Master Gui Huo looked at the hundred spirit crystals in front of him and was overjoyed. He quickly put them into his Sumeru Ring.
"Speak!" Qi Qian urged.
"He saved you, yet he's unwilling to have any contact with you. If you don't have a troublesome background, then there's only one reason, and that's that there's a grudge between the two of you. It's impossible to mediate, "Spiritual Master Gui Huo said.
"Nonsense! I've only just met him. How could there be a grudge between us? " Qi Qian said with an unkind expression, "If you're going to find some random excuse to avoid me, then the consequences aren't something a small Jin Dan Stage cultivator like you can bear."
"Since you're only making a deal with him, why did you make a deal with him?" Spiritual Master Gui Huo asked.
"You mean my Eldest Senior Brother? Was he the one who killed him? That's impossible. Since he killed my Eldest Senior Brother, he should've just rescued me from Goose Sand Ridge. Why did he send me back to Yuan Ling City and give me the spirit crystals that my Eldest Senior Brother left behind? "Qi Qian's expression changed and she quickly shook her head.
"I'm guessing that your Eldest Senior Brother should've died in his hands. Otherwise, if your Eldest Senior Brother was still alive, why would he use him to save you? If they had a good relationship, then why would he ignore you once the deal was over? This doesn't make sense. "Spiritual Master Gui Huo said.
"In the end, this is only your speculation. There's no evidence." Qi Qian's attitude couldn't help but waver.
"Senior, do you know how I met Lu Xiaotian?" Spiritual Master Gui Huo didn't wait for Qi Qian to ask and said, "He also killed my family. It was only because of the deal that he made with me that he helped me seize a body and brought me to Yuan Ling City. After arriving at Yuan Ling City, he gave me a few things and cut off all ties with me. The difference between Senior and me is that I know the process of forming a grudge with him, but you don't. It seems that he didn't want you to know because he didn't want to kill you. Let me give Senior a word of advice. If Senior's strength isn't enough, then go find him for revenge. He definitely won't be lenient. "
