Xi Yunting seemed not to notice the shame in the other party's eyes, and continued: "Besides, it was also a coincidence that we obtained this inheritance." He turned his head and looked behind him. Zheng Hong followed his line of sight. Chen Xiao and Tong Nuonuo nodded to him.
"One of them is a mechanical engineer and the other is a Feng Shui master. With their cooperation, they were able to crack the secret treasure left by Chongshan. This inheritance jade slip is of little use to us, so it is better to give it to someone who needs it, so as to prevent the pearl from being covered in dust."
This statement was also meant to clarify doubts. Sword cultivators generally seldom practice other main professions concurrently, and the other two would not likely waste their energy on a skill they had never learned.
Zheng Hong regained his composure after being excited. If it weren't for the faint flush on his face, it would be hard to tell that he was so excited that he almost lost his composure.
Zheng Hong didn't say anything more in public. He invited Xi Yunting to the upstairs room for a private talk. Chen Xiao tried his best to downplay his role in it, so he naturally didn't follow. He and Tong Nuonuo were not ignored. The weapon refiners in Jianzhai who knew about it were very enthusiastic about them. Even if Tong Nuonuo didn't show any expression throughout the whole process, it couldn't change their attitude.
Xi Yunting didn't stay up for long, and came down in just half an hour.
Seeing him appear, Chen Xiao went over to greet him. He asked in a low voice: "How did the discussion go?"
Xi Yunting didn't say anything, but nodded at him.
Chen Xiao showed a relaxed expression, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
As it was related to an immortal palace, they expected that the person in charge of Jianzhai would not want to make it known to everyone, and the handover of the jade slip must be done in private. If this were to happen, it would go against their original intention of handing over the jade slip.
Only Xi Yunting's intervention could allow Jianzhai to complete the handover in a relatively open setting according to their wishes.
Tong Nuonuo also came over, and Xi Yunting said softly: "Master Zheng not only agreed to invite the members of the Equipment Refiners' Union, but also intends to persuade the members of the Union to give us a token. With this token, as long as we are in the place where the Equipment Refiners' Union is located, we will be treated as guests of honor."
Tong Nuonuo curled her lips and said, "This group of weapon refiners are very stingy. What 'the place where the weapon refiners' alliance is located', do they think they are the Zhishitang all over the world of Tianjing? Who can run into them when they have something to do? They are just good at talking, but nothing is real!"
Chen Xiao sighed helplessly and didn't say anything. This was almost becoming a daily routine, and he was too lazy to persuade her anymore.
Xi Yunting also ignored it and said, "It will take some time for the master to pass on the message and invite people. The formal gift and handover is scheduled to be carried out in seven days. I have given the jade slip to the master for temporary safekeeping. He will provide a blank jade slip to make a copy. When the time comes, the original will be given to the people of the Equipment Refiners' Alliance, and the copy will be left to us."
Chen Xiao didn't expect to get a copy back, which was a pleasant surprise. The fact that he had Chongshan's personal biography in his hands was still a secret known only to his companions, so it was not appropriate to mention it at this time and occasion.
So Chen Xiao nodded and said, "Brother, take this copy back and hand it over to the Chongxuan Sect."
Chen Xiao knew very well that even if the Refiner Alliance got the original copy of the Chongshan inheritance, they would not let outsiders see it easily. There would always be people who wanted to pick on the weak and look for opportunities on them. Therefore, it was better for Xi Yunting, who had the highest martial arts value, to keep this copy that had not yet been obtained.
Xi Yunting knew that he didn't care about the inheritance content in this jade slip, so he nodded directly.
He said: "Hand in this jade slip, the Office of the Registrar will give you some reward, and I will give it to you when the time comes."
He has said this, so if anyone wants to make a move again, they should think carefully about whether they can withstand the wrath of a top-level immortal sect.
At this time, the courtesy and treatment received in Jianzhai were unprecedentedly high. Chen Xiao took the opportunity to get rid of the magic weapons they had seized from the robbers.
These magic weapons were numerous and varied, and were of little use to Chen Xiao and his friends. The weapon refiner in charge of the valuation at Jianzhai readily gave the highest purchase price, allowing Chen Xiao and his friends to make a lot of money.
Dividing it into four parts, everyone's small coffers were greatly increased. This made him very happy, at least this time Tang Ru's injury medicine expenses could be offset with this part of the income.
After leaving Jianzhai, Chen Xiao said he wanted to go see Li Yuzhou and Liu Lang. Previously, Mu Jinrong and Hu Manniang had promised to compensate Liu Lang who was innocently involved. Later, Chen Xiao and the others left for Suxuan Xiaotian Realm, and it was unknown whether the two fulfilled their promise.
Chen Xiao was involved in this matter, so he was naturally concerned about the follow-up.
Chen Xiao wanted to go and take a look, and Xi Yunting and Tong Nuonuo certainly would not raise any objection.
Following the habit of his previous life, Chen Xiao went to Zhencaotang to buy some nutritional pills, and also bought a basket of fresh fruits at the market he passed by as gifts for visiting the recovered wounded.
Because they didn't know Liu Lang's address, they went to Li and Zhou's residence first.
Li and Zhou were surprised and delighted to see them when they opened the door. He had previously received the alchemy furnace pledged to Chen Xiao, and he didn't know when Chen Xiao would return. The person who owed the money was bothered by the thousand spirit beads.
While Li and Zhou invited them in, they complained to Chen Xiao, saying that he left without even saying goodbye, catching him off guard.
Chen Xiao smiled and said nothing, listening to his complaints with good temper.
After his reaction, Li and Zhou felt embarrassed and quickly shut their mouths, turning into the nerdy guy with communication problems again.
He was the only one in the Li and Zhou families, and no one served him, nor did he know to serve tea to guests. Fortunately, Xi Yunting and Chen Xiao knew his temper, and no one cared about him.
Chen Xiao sat in the large open space that served as the living room, and Li Yuzhou came in with a box in his hand. He pushed the box in front of Chen Xiao, and when he saw him put it away, Li Yuzhou showed a relieved expression: "Finally, I have returned these 1,000 spirit beads to you. Otherwise, I would feel something was wrong with everything I did."
Tong Nuonuo found his expression really funny and couldn't help but say, "If you really feel so bad about it, why not give Xiaoxiao a discount when you sell the medicine to her, maybe half off."
Tong Nuonuo was joking, but Li Yuzhou didn't realize it and took it seriously. He shook his head and said, "The batch I gave to Xiaodi before was already a loss, so I can't give you a discount recently."
Chen Xiao said: "He was just joking, don't take it seriously. Why are you still not so useful recently? Then don't rush to return the thousand spirit beads to me."
Li and Zhou waved their hands and said, "No need. Liu Lang received a large amount of compensation before, and all the foreign debts he owed before were paid off except yours. He even paid back the money I subsidized."
Li and Zhou were of the same type as Tong Nuonuo, both were workaholics who were obsessed with research and development. In their hands, the spiritual beads and coins would burn worse than paper. Since Liu Lang had already returned them to him, he should not be nervous at the moment, but he was not rich either.
Chen Xiao nodded and stopped dwelling on the question. He then asked about Liu Lang's residence. When they learned that they wanted to visit Liu Lang next, Li and Zhou sighed and said, "You came back too late, he has already left."
Xi Yunting, who had been listening to their conversation quietly, also showed a look of surprise when he heard the words. Tong Nuonuo was even more surprised and said, "Leaving? Leaving Yingxian Island?"
Li and Zhou nodded. "He left without saying goodbye, apparently to avoid Ye Jinglan."
Chen Xiao had never expected this development. Li Yuzhou smiled bitterly and said, "Ye Jinglan won this competition, and her status in Qianxiufang has greatly increased. Not only did she ask Master Mu to find a good solution for Liu Lang, she even left her own affairs to look for a solution. Ever since she knew that Liu Lang ended up like this because of her, Ye Jinglan felt uneasy. Liu Lang knew that staying here would only make Ye Jinglan feel more guilty, so he simply left without saying goodbye."
Chen Xiao sighed, and Li Yuzhou continued, "When Ye Jinglan learned that Liu Lang had left, he went everywhere to look for him, and even alerted Shi Fengdu. Shi Fengdu felt that his situation was pitiful, so he mobilized the forces of the Island Lord's Mansion to track down Liu Lang. In the end, he got the news that someone saw Liu Lang boarding a ship back to his hometown."
Li and Zhou really felt sorry for their friend. He and Ye Jinglan had been with each other for a long time and their feelings were deep and sincere, but it was a pity that they were destined to be together. If Liu Lang was determined to avoid people he knew, after this separation, Li and Zhou didn't know if they would be able to see him again in this life.
Liu Lang's spiritual roots were destroyed, and his cultivation was completely wasted. However, his physique did not regress back to that of a mortal. He still had a long lifespan, and no one knew how he would spend the rest of his life.
After lamenting Liu Lang's unfortunate fate, he collected a lot of finished pharmaceutical products as usual before leaving, and placed a large order that made Li and Zhou very happy.
On the way back, he passed by Zuixian Winery and happened to catch the delivery of the freshest sea fish of this season. Chen Xiao's mouth was watering as he looked at the plump salmon.
Xi Yunting smiled slightly and immediately led the way towards the gate of Zuixian Winery.
Chen Xiao said hypocritically: "A Rou is staying alone in Linglang Valley. Isn't it bad for us to leave her alone to eat?"
Tong Nuonuo laughed behind him: "Do you think everyone has the same appetite as you?"
Chen Xiao turned his head and glanced at him. Even if he was the only foodie, he shouldn't say it out loud, okay?
Xi Yunting said, "Zuixian Winery offers takeout, or you can order a table for delivery in the evening."
Chen Xiao immediately became excited and nodded repeatedly: "Then let's book another table tonight."
There was a soft light in Xi Yunting's eyes, and he felt that there was no one in the world more lovely than Chen Xiao.
After returning to Linglang Valley with a full stomach, Chen Xiao had not yet had the chance to run upstairs to tell Ah Rou that there would be another delicious meal in the evening, but he stopped unexpectedly because of the figure waiting in front of the pavilion.
He looked at the person in front of him in surprise, then turned back to look at Xi Yunting.
Xi Yunting was also a little surprised. He frowned slightly and then regained his composure: "Zhao Fang, why are you here?"
Zhao Fang bowed respectfully: "I am here to greet you, Uncle Master. I came here to deliver a message."
