It was the first time that Jiang Deng came back empty-handed, so he couldn't help but feel a little angry.
With a casual glance, she saw Chi Lian and the other two fighting in a group, especially when she saw the long sword in Chi Lian's hand that was shining with red light.
Jiang Deng was stunned.
Isn't this her stolen Flame Sword Intent? It turned out to have been taken away by Chi Lian?
Before Jiang Deng had time to get angry, Chi Lian immediately realized that something was wrong.
"boss!"
Chi Lian's eyes rolled, and he quickly left Pei Ranzhi behind, holding up the flaming sword intent and rushed forward, saying with a smile: "Look, what I got for you!"
As he spoke, he took the initiative to put the flaming sword into Jiang Deng's hand.
"Hmm? When you were taking the Flame Sword Intent, didn't you see me standing there?"
Jiang Deng stared at Chi Lian, wondering what she was going to explain.
Chi Lian scratched his head. "Haha, I saw you and that ghost cultivator were fighting fiercely, and I couldn't bear to disturb you, so I temporarily stored the Flame Sword Intent for you, boss. I thought I would give it to you as soon as you came out!"
“…….”
Although he knew that Chi Lian was probably talking nonsense, Jiang Deng's mood suddenly improved for some unknown reason.
Originally, she was planning to teach the little thief who stole the Flame Sword a lesson, but she didn't expect that Chi Lian was well versed in the ways of a worker and didn't give her any chance to show her abilities!
"Well done." Jiang Deng praised.
Chi Lian scratched his head and laughed, "Boss, would you consider giving me a raise?"
Jiang Deng looked left and right, but didn't look at Chi Lian in front of him. "Oh, what was I about to say?"
Chi Lian: “…”
These days, everything is getting more expensive except for wages. How can she, a worker, survive?
"Just kidding," Jiang Deng chuckled, took out ten high-grade spirit stones from the Eight Gates World, and stuffed them into Chi Lian's hand, "This is your bonus."
"That's it?"
Chi Lian looked at the handful of spirit stones in her hand in surprise. She thought the boss had changed his personality, but she didn't expect him to be so stingy.
Jiang Deng's face immediately turned cold, "Give it back to me if you don't want it."
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Chi Lian quickly put away the spirit stone, feeling a little melancholy.
Alas, working for someone else is not easy. It seems that it is time to return to my old job and start my own business...
Just as Jiang Deng and Chi Lian were communicating, Pei Ranzhi and Pei Huan walked over from the opposite side.
When Pei Ranzhi saw Jiang Deng was there, Chi Lian suddenly became much more obedient. It might be like what the other party said, when the boss is around, one should be a qualified background board and not steal the boss's limelight.
Therefore, Chi Lian should no longer call for the killing of the two brothers.
Realizing this, Pei Ranzhi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Somehow, he had a terrible premonition.
If it weren't for the fact that the cultivators could only exert the strength of the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm inside the sword disk, he would have probably died at the hands of this female cultivator named Chi Lian.
Compared to her, Jiang Deng is much easier to talk to.
Pei Ranzhi bowed to Jiang Deng and said straight to the point, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, could you give us two portions of the Flame Sword Intent? We can buy it with spirit stones."
Hearing this, Jiang Deng's eyes lit up.
For Nangong Xiangrui's sake, she could take care of her friend Pei Ranzhi's fiancé...
"Ahem," Jiang Deng coughed lightly and pretended to be calm, "How many spirit stones are you offering?"
"How much do you want?"
"How many do you have?"
"Uh..." A drop of sweat fell from Pei Ranzhi's forehead. "I came out in a hurry this time. I only have three thousand high-grade spirit stones on me."
"OK!"
Jiang Deng nodded quickly, "But your three thousand high-grade spirit stones can only buy one Flame Sword Intent, and you can't give it to him!"
As he spoke, Jiang Deng pointed at Pei Huan who was standing behind Pei Ranzhi.
She remembered that Pei Huan was a very foul-mouthed guy, and she had to teach him a lesson today no matter what!
When Pei Huan heard that he could not possess the flame sword intent, he immediately became anxious.
If he can't comprehend the Flame Sword Intent, he will be eliminated in this level! Forget about the subsequent levels!
Pei Huan immediately reached out and grabbed Pei Ranzhi's sleeve, refusing to let go. "Cousin! You can't just ignore me!"
Pei Ranzhi looked at Jiang Deng with some embarrassment. "When I left home this time, my elders asked me to take care of my cousin. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Jiang would be so magnanimous as to share some of his sword intent with him?"
Jiang Deng did not agree directly, but instead asked: "Fellow Daoist Pei, have you ever heard of a terrifying monster?"
Aren't we discussing sword matters? Why did we suddenly end up here with the monster?
Pei Ranzhi was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "What?"
Jiang Deng said in a deep voice: "The demon who supports his brother."
"What is this?" Pei Ranzhi looked puzzled.
He considered himself knowledgeable and had some understanding of demon species, but why had he never heard of this kind of monster?
Jiang Deng said solemnly, "Legend has it that in ancient times, the demon god cast a curse on all humans. If anyone, regardless of right or wrong, madly helps their younger brother and even encourages others to follow suit, they will become a terrifying monster called the Brother-Supporting Demon!"
Upon hearing this, Pei Ranzhi indeed showed a somewhat frightened expression.
He is a righteous person, so naturally he is very resistant to things like becoming a demon.
"Huan'er," Pei Ranzhi looked at Pei Huan apologetically, "For the sake of justice and the people of the world, I'm sorry I can't help you."
Pei Huan said in shock, "...Cousin, this is outrageous! You actually believe this?"
“It is better to believe it exists than to believe it does not exist.”
