Zuan was so angry he wanted to kill this fatso. He had finally managed to downplay the topic, but then he ran into him and brought it up again.

He said coldly, "What do you mean by 'lucky in love' and 'lucky in love'? You're not right at all. I'm already being kind by not asking you for money. You still have the nerve to show off here."

Yu Yanluo nodded secretly. These past few days, Zu'an had indeed stayed indoors, strictly adhering to the standards of male virtue, so there was no romantic interest whatsoever.

Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue, however, did not think so. They had personally witnessed Zu An and Yu Yanluo secretly meeting in the middle of the night.

However, they were already a couple, so to consider this as a romantic relationship would be a bit of a stretch.

Wu Liang exclaimed, "Wait a minute, how could I have miscalculated?"

After finishing his calculations, Zu An felt a chill run down his spine and quickly changed the subject: "Fatty, what were you selling just now?"

Upon hearing him mention this, Wu Liang's eyes lit up immediately: "Young master, would you like to buy a copy? This is a treasure map that I obtained with great difficulty. It contains a treasure that can change a person's destiny. I'll only sell it to you for 100 taels of silver. Where else in the world can you find such a good deal? You'll miss out if you don't take it."

Zuan was speechless for a moment: "But I clearly heard you sell them for ten taels of silver, and then you turn around and sell them to me for 100 taels?"

The girls standing nearby also looked rather displeased. This guy really was a liar. Was he trying to fleece them like lambs to the slaughter?

This significantly reduces the credibility of the other party's previous claim about a romantic entanglement.

When his trick was exposed, Wu Liang remained calm and composed, saying, "Young master, you don't know this, but what I sold them was a copy. Many details and information were missing. This one is the original. I'm only charging you 100 taels because you're my old friend... ugh, I mean, because you and I are destined to meet."

Zu An laughed and grabbed his hand, shouting, "Come and take a look! He said the treasure map he sold you was a shoddy version!"

Upon hearing this, many people immediately cried out that they had been tricked. Then, seeing the expressions of the people around them, they realized that he had sold more than one person. A group of people rushed over in a fit of rage, as if they wanted to skin him alive.

Wu Liang was terrified: "Young master, you've really gotten me into trouble! Here, take this original treasure map."

After saying that, she shoved the map into his hand, then her wrist suddenly became slippery, and she broke free from his grasp in an instant, disappearing around the corner of the street in the blink of an eye.

Zuan was a little stunned. Although he hadn't used much force when he grabbed the other person, it was still too easy for the other person to break free.

"It seems to be an extremely advanced bone-shrinking technique," Yan Xuehen commented from the side. "It's more advanced than any bone-shrinking technique I know. I wonder which school he studied under."

Yun Jianyue said coldly, "In my usual way, I would just arrest this guy and torture him, and everything would be clear."

Zuan shook his head: "I don't know if this guy is friend or foe, there's no need to offend him rashly."

He had deliberately exposed the other party's tricks before, but the fat man didn't show any anger, so he obviously didn't have much malice.

Yu Yanluo moved closer to him: "Let's take a look at what's going on with that map first."

Zuan hummed in agreement and unfolded the map in his hand. The texture was similar to sheepskin, but it had obviously been specially treated and was not so easily damaged by water or fire.

"Huh, this thing does look quite old. Could it be that the guy was telling us the original was real?" Yun Jianyue immediately noticed as well.

"But if it really is the original, why would he give us something so precious?" Yan Xuehen was quite puzzled.

Zuan thought for a moment and said, "Judging from what just happened, he sold the treasure map to many people. So there are two possibilities. One is that the treasure map is a scam and he just wants to profit from it."

Yu Yanlu shook her head: "It's unlikely. That person was wearing something that concealed his aura, and even the two of you couldn't see through it, which proves that he is indeed extraordinary. Ten taels of silver per map is a lot for ordinary people, but even if you sell thousands of maps, the income won't mean much to someone like him."

Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue nodded in agreement. Although they were a little annoyed that she had stolen food, they still agreed with her judgment. With the fat man's abilities, getting tens of thousands of taels of silver would be effortless for him. Why bother with all this trouble?

Zuan said in a deep voice, "Then it's the second one. The treasure map is indeed real, but for some unknown reason, he needs many people to go and help him."

Yun Jianyue speculated, "He probably couldn't open the treasure on his own, so he distributed treasure maps everywhere to attract help from others. And you look extraordinary, so he naturally wants to find a way to lure you there."

Zu An laughed and said, "I'm just an ordinary guy, I don't look extraordinary at all. I guess he only thought highly of me because he saw you three celestial beauties with me."

"You're such a smooth talker," the girls teased with a laugh, but they couldn't hide their happiness at his constant praise. The awkward atmosphere among them had finally disappeared.

After fooling around for a while, the group began to study the map.

Although Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue were exceptionally intelligent, they lacked knowledge about the demon race and could hardly discern anything from the lines they looked at for a long time.

Although Yu Yanluo is the patriarch of the snake clan, she is more human and spends most of her time in the human world. While she knows a little more about the demon race than Yan and Yun, it's not much more.

Zu'an stared intently at the map, then suddenly exclaimed, "I think I know this place. It's about 800 miles away from here, in that direction." He then pointed roughly in that direction.
