Su Chen escaped very quickly, and even if Liu Xiaoyuan wanted to chase after him, he simply couldn't catch up!
Moreover, because he had just used the jade flute, Liu Xiaoyuan was completely exhausted and didn't have much energy left to catch up with Su Chen.
"Xiao Yuan, are you alright?" Su Yu asked, seeing that Liu Xiao Yuan's face was a little pale. She quickly stepped forward to help him up.
Liu Xiaoyuan grinned at Su Yu and said, "I'm fine, it's probably because I was tired last night."
Upon hearing this, Su Yu rolled her eyes at Liu Xiaoyuan. This guy is really something. Even at a time like this, he still has the mind to joke around. How annoying.
However, the fact that Liu Xiaoyuan was in the mood to joke proves that he is really not seriously injured, otherwise he wouldn't be joking with me.
Liu Xiaoyuan and Su Yu left the mountains and came down to the foot of the mountain. They took a taxi to the airport.
About ten minutes after Liu Xiaoyuan and Su Yu left the mountain, two middle-aged men arrived at the place where Liu Xiaoyuan and Su Chen had fought. Both of them were cultivators at the late Golden Core stage.
“It’s right here. The Fairy Flute should have appeared here just now,” said one of the men with a mustache.
Another man nodded and said, "Yes, it should be here. And the Fairy Melody Flute has probably been used. It seems that the Fairy Melody Flute has fallen into someone else's hands."
"We should act quickly and see if we can find any clues about the Fairy Flute."
So, the two members of the Heavenly Extreme Sect began to use this place as the center and search around with their divine senses.
Liu Xiaoyuan and Su Yu were on their way to the airport. Liu Xiaoyuan, sitting in the back seat, still looked pale, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.
The taxi driver looked in the rearview mirror and said, "Brother, you don't look too well."
Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "It's nothing, I'm just feeling a little unwell. I ate something wrong last night and have a bit of diarrhea!"
Upon hearing this, the taxi driver said with an "Oh," and then said, "Hey brother, diarrhea is really awful. I've had it once before, and it was absolutely terrible. My legs were completely weak, and all I wanted to do was lie in bed and sleep for three days and three nights..."
The taxi driver was very talkative. Once he started talking, he immediately began chatting with Liu Xiaoyuan, and they had a great time.
They chatted with the taxi driver along the way, and the time passed quickly. After arriving at the airport, Liu Xiaoyuan and Su Yu immediately bought tickets back to the provincial capital.
After boarding the plane, Su Yu seemed preoccupied. Liu Xiaoyuan asked her what was wrong, but Su Yu just smiled and shook her head, saying it was nothing.
Seeing that Su Yu was willing to talk, Liu Xiaoyuan stopped asking questions.
Once home, Su Yu immediately found Su Xue, and the two sisters whispered to each other in the room for a while, not knowing what they were saying.
Liu Xiaoyuan wanted to eavesdrop, but he was afraid of being discovered, so he gave up in the end. Su Yu must have her reasons for not wanting to tell him about this.
When Tan Wanyi brought Su Yun back after school in the afternoon, Liu Xiaoyuan was surprised to find that Tan Wanyi was actually a cultivator at the early stage of Qi Refining. This greatly surprised Liu Xiaoyuan.
When did Tan Wanyi begin cultivating? Who told her about cultivation? Why is she completely unaware of it?
With these questions in mind, Liu Xiaoyuan asked Tan Wanyi. Tan Wanyi told Liu Xiaoyuan that Su Xue taught her how to cultivate and gave her a pill. After taking it, Tan Wanyi became a cultivator in the early stage of Qi Refining.
Tan Wanyi said that Su Xue asked her to cultivate so that she would have the ability to protect herself.
Liu Xiaoyuan thought this was good. After Tan Wanyi became a cultivator, she would be able to turn danger into safety with her own abilities.
Su Xue is now a Golden Core cultivator and is fully capable of being Tan Wanyi's master, which Liu Xiaoyuan is completely at ease about.
After staying at home for a day, two unfamiliar middle-aged men suddenly came to Liu Xiaoyuan's house.
These two unfamiliar men were the ones who appeared at the place where Liu Xiaoyuan and Su Chen fought that day.
Both men were elders of the Heavenly Pole Sect, with cultivation levels in the late Golden Core stage. They found Liu Xiaoyuan because they received information from Min Dongqing, which led them to come looking for him.
With two late-stage Golden Core cultivators suddenly appearing in his home, Liu Xiaoyuan's vigilance immediately soared to its peak.
There were two late-stage Golden Core cultivators, and it wasn't just one. If they were to fight, the Golden Core cultivator would definitely not gain the upper hand.
Liu Xiaoyuan, unsure of their purpose in coming, looked at the two men and asked, "What brings you two to me?"
The middle-aged man with the mustache looked Liu Xiaoyuan up and down and asked, "Are you Liu Xiaoyuan?"
Liu Xiaoyuan nodded and said, "I am Liu Xiaoyuan. May I ask what business you two have with me?"
The man with the mustache said, "We are elders of the Heavenly Pole Sect. My surname is Ni, and this man's surname is Yi. Now that you know who we are, you should know why we are here, right?"
Liu Xiaoyuan did indeed know the purpose of their visit: they had come for the Heavenly Pole Sect's prized jade flute.
However, Liu Xiaoyuan couldn't admit to this, so he pretended not to know and shook his head, saying, "Gentlemen, how would I know your purpose? Besides, I don't even know what kind of sect Tianji Sect is."
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, Elder Yi squinted at him and said, "Liu Xiaoyuan, a wise man submits to circumstances. We have received definite information that you stole the jade flute from Min Dongqing, right?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoyuan cried out in protest, saying, "Gentlemen, you've just heard rumors about this. Why would I steal Min Dongqing's jade flute? We're not musicians, what would we need a jade flute for? Did Min Dongqing tell you this?"
Elder Ni said, "Regardless of who told us this, you just need to answer whether it's true or not."
Liu Xiaoyuan had already guessed that Min Dongqing had probably told them this, but whether Min Dongqing was forced or did so voluntarily was unknown.
"Of course it's not true. I have seen Min Dongqing's jade flute; it is indeed very beautiful and valuable, but I never intended to steal it because I don't understand music at all," Liu Xiaoyuan said.
"Min Dongqing invited me to Shanghai to see his jade flute and to check its material quality. I went, and the next day, he said his jade flute was lost. Whether it was really lost or not, I don't know, because I flew back the next day!"
Liu Xiaoyuan's words were half true and half false, which was very deceptive. What Liu Xiaoyuan said was all true, but the key was that Liu Xiaoyuan concealed many things, which made it difficult for people to tell the truth!
