…
At the same time, in the east of the city, the Yuan family.
During the past half month, Yuan Zhiping has been secretly transferring cultivation resources while secretly contacting various wild groups to inquire about the news of the Sky Realm Stone.
Today, he was busy as usual when he suddenly heard someone come to report that there was a female cultivator named Li outside the door who wanted to see him.
Yuan Zhiping was immediately shocked.
That female cultivator actually came back alive from the hands of Taoist Huangquan?
"Please invite the person to the front hall quickly!" Yuan Zhiping ordered.
After everyone left, he immediately drew a water mirror with his fingers, and used the water mirror to straighten his rather messy clothes and hair, making sure that he did not look haggard. Then he walked towards the front hall with a calm face.
Not long after, Yuan Zhiping stepped into the front hall and saw a woman with a cold temperament sipping tea with her head down. Just as he was about to greet her, he suddenly sensed a spatial fluctuation from her.
Sky boundary stone? !
He was shocked and could hardly suppress the shock in his eyes.
At this moment, the woman seemed to sense something, looked up, smiled slightly and said, "You are the head of the Yuan family, Senior Yuan Zhiping, right?"
"I don't deserve to be called a senior, just call me a fellow Taoist."
Yuan Zhiping barely suppressed the shock in his heart, walked over to the main seat and sat down, a faint smile on his face: "I have already told my daughter about our encounter on the road after returning home, and it is also thanks to Fellow Daoist Li for his help."
"Senior Yuan, you are too polite. Speaking of this Taoist Huang Quan, I am also lucky."
Xiang Sheng's face was filled with regret and fear. "I've been in the world of cultivation for a long time and have developed a good ability to escape. I thought I could shake off the pursuers, but I never expected that the old Taoist's skills were not bad either."
I ran for my life and was nearly caught. If that old Taoist hadn't suddenly stopped chasing me for some unknown reason, I would have been in danger of death."
Xiang Sheng said these words sincerely, without any pretense.
Yuan Zhiping was half-believing and half-doubting when he suddenly saw the other party take out the jade box, put it on the coffee table and pushed it forward, saying with a smile:
"This item was taken away by me in a hurry that day, and now it should be returned to its original owner."
When Yuan Zhiping saw the jade box that was related to his life and property, he was immediately excited. Without caring about anything else, he stretched out his hand, took the jade box and opened it.
Seeing a Void Stone lying intact inside, he felt relieved. He looked up at Sheng again, and his eyes suddenly showed a bit of intimacy and complexity.
"Fellow Daoist Li, do you know what this thing is?"
Xiang Sheng nodded gently, "Of course I know. The Sky Realm Stone and the Xumi Mustard Seed Wonderful Treasure can be used to make Fang Cun Ji."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhiping's expression became even more complicated, and he sighed, "Since you know the value of this item, you are still willing to return it. You are truly a man of noble character, something I cannot compare to."
Hearing such compliments, Xiang Sheng shook his head and chuckled, "Senior Yuan, there's no need to think so highly of me, your junior. It's just that I don't need it."
"Fellow Daoist Li, don't you need to be humble?"
Yuan Zhiping waved his sleeves and said, "Wealth, friends, Dharma, and land, cultivation, the word wealth comes first.
If this item were exchanged for cultivation resources, it would be enough to fill the entire Yuan family mansion. As long as there is a cultivator, they will be jealous. How can they not need it? "
At this point, Yuan Zhiping's eyes showed gratitude, "Daoyou Li, to be honest, if I lose the Sky Realm Stone, my whole family will suffer a great disaster.
"This righteous act of yours is like saving my life. Is there anything I need? If you can use my Yuan family's money, please let me know!"
Upon hearing this, Xiang Sheng gave Yuan Zhiping a meaningful look, smiled, and said, "I'm just a casual cultivator, traveling around and doing whatever I want. I'm not someone who seeks to repay a favor. Senior Yuan, there's no need to do this."
As soon as these words were spoken, Yuan Zhiping immediately realized that his careful attempt to test the waters had been seen through, and his expression suddenly revealed a hint of embarrassment and shame.
He was accustomed to the intrigues and deceptions in the world of cultivation, but he had never seen someone with such a noble character and selfless desires as Fellow Daoist Li.
Thinking of this, Yuan Zhiping sighed softly and extended his hand in a bow: "I'm sorry to have laughed at you, fellow Daoist, but if you really have no other requests, I would be uneasy."
"If you really feel bad for me, Senior Yuan, why not take me in for a while? It's not easy to find an inn in Xitian City these days."
Yuan Zhiping's spirits immediately brightened. "Of course! My daughter also mentioned this matter. She had already ordered people to clean up the guest house and wait for Fellow Daoist Li to come."
Xiang Sheng immediately stood up and smiled slightly, "Then I'm sorry to bother you."
"Haha, how can this be considered a nuisance? My Yuan family is so happy!"
Yuan Zhiping stood up and said, "I will go to the guest house with my fellow Taoist to chat for a while."
"Thank you."
"Haha, I just happen to have nothing to do today. Speaking of which, my daughter has been practicing very diligently recently. When she comes out of retreat and sees fellow Taoists, she will definitely be very happy..."
