"That's a question for you."
Jiang Deng crossed his arms and walked slowly towards Bai Sitang, his eyes gleaming with interest.
"Why didn't you throw the rope back into the pond as I instructed? Could it be that... you wanted to keep the treasure for yourself?"
Bai Sitang dodged his gaze and said, "Nonsense! I'm not as shameless as you!"
"Okay, then I will accept the treasure without hesitation."
Jiang Deng smiled suddenly and immediately covered the Nine Nether Ice with his spiritual consciousness, preparing to put it into the Eight Gates World.
This thing is so cold and corrosive. If she sits cross-legged on it to practice all day, she will definitely be able to take the opportunity to temper her body and make her physical strength stronger. It is really a rare treasure!
"No! I have a share, too, baby!"
Seeing that Jiang Deng was really planning to put away the Nine Nether Ice, Bai Sitang became anxious. He hurried forward and tried to put away the Nine Nether Ice first, but was kicked away by Jiang Deng who was on guard.
Bang!
Bai Sitang fell heavily to the ground and immediately started coughing up blood while holding his chest.
"……you!"
How come Jiang Deng’s physical strength has become stronger after not seeing him for a month?
He couldn't beat Jiang Deng in the first place, let alone now.
Seeing that his coercive approach didn't work, Bai Sitang resorted to soft tactics, looking at Jiang Deng with tears in his eyes, "Jiang Deng, I beg you, this Nine Nether Ice is very important to me, please give me some, it will be really useful to me!"
Jiang Deng pondered and said, "Well... considering that you helped me after all, it's not a problem to give you some."
Hearing this, Bai Sitang's face lit up with joy, "I don't ask for much, half is fine!"
Jiang Deng nodded, pulled out the heavy light sword stuck in the soil, poured the power of chaos into it, and slashed fiercely at the Nine Nether Ice on the ground!
Snap!
Jiuyou Hanbing was ultimately unable to withstand Jiang Deng's powerful attack, and one of his corners was successfully chopped off.
Jiang Deng used his spiritual energy to pick up the fallen corner and brought it to Bai Sitang, "Here, I'll give you a petal."
"...This young master wants half, not a petal!"
Jiang Deng said seriously, "Didn't I give you one petal? What's the problem?"
Bai Sitang: “…”
Just give him a little bit, it would be better not to give him anything.
Seeing that Bai Sitang was still not taking it, Jiang Deng frowned slightly and said with dissatisfaction: "Why? You think it's too little? Then don't take it."
Having said that, Jiang Deng was about to take it back.
"Wait... This young master wants it!"
Thinking that it was better to have it than not, Bai Sitang gritted his teeth and quickly put the small piece of Nine Nether Ice into his storage bag.
This small piece is far from enough for him, but he can use it as evidence. Tomorrow morning, he will go to the Sword Master and tell him that Jiang Deng stole the Nine Nether Ice. Then...
The Sword Master will never let Jiang Deng go!
He can't get the Nine Nether Ice, so Jiang Deng can't get it either!
Looking at the unpredictable expression on Bai Sitang's face, Jiang Deng vaguely understood something and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Bai, don't forget that you also played a role in stealing the Nine Nether Ice here."
"If you really go to the Sword Master to complain, do you think he will kill me alone? Or kill us both?"
Bai Sitang: “…”
I originally thought that he was the one plotting against Jiang Deng, but I didn't expect that he was the one being plotted against!
I was careless!
It turns out Jiang Deng isn't the kind of physical cultivator with strong limbs and a simple mind...
"Humph! Despicable woman!"
Bai Sitang stood up cursing and turned to go back to his cave to recuperate, but he didn't know that Jiang Deng's voice was heard behind him again.
"etc."
"What are you doing again?"
Bai Sitang turned around dissatisfied and looked at Jiang Deng.
Jiang Deng spread out his palms, as if to ask for something. "Just now, I saw you in the sky putting the rope I used to tie up Jiuyou Hanbing into your storage bag. You are quite dishonest."
"…Give it back to you, stingy bastard!"
After gritting his teeth, Bai Sitang angrily took out the spider silk from the storage bag and threw it towards Jiang Deng. He turned around and left without caring whether Jiang Deng could catch it or not.
"Thank you."
Jiang Deng caught the spider silk steadily, put it into the Eight Gates World with satisfaction, and put it into the pile of miscellaneous items.
Looking at Bai Sitang's back as he left in a hurry, Jiang Deng smiled triumphantly.
In fact, she could have stolen the Jiuyou Hanbing by herself, but once Bai Sitang found out that the Jiuyou Hanbing was missing, he would fail to take it by force and would definitely go to complain to his third disciple.
Therefore, she dragged Bai Sitang into the matter in advance. He was also involved in stealing the Jiuyou Hanbing from beginning to end. After that, even if he was dissatisfied with the distribution plan of the treasure, he could not sue the third disciple.
After all, he is an accomplice and can't run away!
Jiang Deng restrained his smile, put away the Nine Nether Ice, and looked at the pool of water beside him.
After losing the Nine Nether Cold Pond, the color of the water surface is no longer as dark. Not only that, the coldness is not as strong as before.
Tsk, it seems I have to keep an eye on my third disciple tomorrow. I absolutely cannot let him come here, otherwise... it will be bad.
——
The next morning.
In order to achieve the purpose of surveillance, Jiang Deng arrived at Jujian Peak early and waited for Duan Chuan to come out at the foot of the mountain.
Not long after, there was a creaking sound, and the old stone door at the top of the peak opened, and Duan Chuan stepped into the air.
"Why do you come to see me so early?"
Duan Chuan held the long sword and looked up at Jiang Deng, who was half a finger taller than him, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
In order to repair his previous injuries, he has been in seclusion for a month.
But who knew that the ghost cultivator encountered at the sword-fighting conference had a ghost energy left in his body that was too sinister and could not be driven away no matter what method was used. Not only did his cultivation level not recover, but it dropped to the Hedao realm!
He originally planned to continue his retreat, but when he thought about the upcoming succession ceremony for his eldest senior brother, he had to come out. As a result, as soon as he came out, he met this annoying sword servant again, which made him feel unhappy in every way.
Duan Chuan raised his head and stared at Jiang Deng's eyebrows, with obvious annoyance flashing in his narrow eyes.
A small swordsman is actually taller than him?
Duan Chuan's fingers were itching, and he wanted to chop off half of Jiang Deng's head with his sword right then and there, so that the other party would be shorter than him...
Jiang Deng seemed completely oblivious to Duan Chuan's hostility towards her. She smiled and said, "A month ago, Sword Master, didn't you say that as long as I completed the assignment you gave me, you would take me to another spiritual realm to participate in the succession ceremony and see the world?"
Duan Chuan thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case, but the content of the homework was so difficult that even he couldn't do it. Could the little sword servant in front of him do it?
"Heh," Duan Chuan sneered, "Yes, I did say that, but can you do it? If you can't, then get out of the way and don't block my way."
Jiang Deng showed no intention of giving way. He asked with a smile, "Sword Master, if I don't try, how will I know if I can do it?"
