Seeing that Su Diandian's expression softened, Chu Kuo said with a lewd grin, "Let's get out of this awful place first."
Su Diandian hesitated for a moment, then got up and walked towards the gap in the cage.
“Alright, let’s go to Poison Doctor Valley to find out.”
The two left the barrier one after the other.
They passed through the empty Changsheng Hall and finally re-entered Beitong City through the same gate Su Diandian had come from.
The people of Beitong City seemed unaffected; the city remained bustling, though the number of independent cultivators was noticeably reduced.
Su Diandian walked behind Chu Kuo and asked, "Elder Chu, you don't seem worried about the sect leader at all."
Entering the Heavenly Palace Small World was already part of the sect leader's plan, so why is he worried about it?
Chu Kuo turned his face away and casually said, "The sect leader is at the Nascent Soul stage, and I'm only at the early Nascent Soul stage. Do you think I'm going to be of any use?"
“That’s true.” Su Diandian nodded and caught up with him to walk side by side. “But Shen Changhen has also entered the small world.”
Chu Kuo ignored her, instead quickly stepped forward, stepped on something, and then looked left and right.
Once he was sure no one had seen him, he bent down and dug a copper coin out from under his feet.
He was doing his own calculations, "For ordinary people, a steamed bun costs two copper coins, so I'm getting half a steamed bun for free, hehe..."
Su Diandian was utterly speechless at his stingy manner.
She stopped beside him: "Elder Chu, are you planning to walk me all the way to the Poison Doctor Valley?"
Chu Kuo shook his head, "Poison Doctor Valley is not easy to enter; we're going to the border black market."
She almost forgot that Elder Chu was going to sell her to the Poison Doctor Valley.
Su Diandian pointed to the sky, "How about we take a spirit boat there?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Kuo quickly covered his storage bag, "I don't have a spirit boat, I absolutely don't. If it's really possible, I can carry you there on my back."
Su Diandian leaned closer with a gloomy face, "You really are a stainless steel rooster. You did the cleanup work for the Ghost Head Gang, didn't you? You must have at least five spirit boats in your pocket."
Since Qinglan had already planned everything, his purpose in having Chu Kuo come along must have been to take over all of the Ghost Head Gang's assets.
This guy is just incredibly stingy; he's unwilling to put spirit stones into the spirit boat.
Chu Kuo chuckled and tried to change the subject, "What is stainless steel? The second brother usually praises me as a miser."
“No, a miser will rust and crumble.” Su Diandian took out a few high-grade spirit stones from her storage bag and stuffed them into the bag. “Please, Elder Stainless Steel, take me to the heavens.”
Upon seeing the spirit stone, Chu Kuo's eyes lit up.
He was reluctant to use the spirit boat, a means of transportation that allowed him to consume spirit stones as easily as drinking water.
Those guys from the Xuancang Sect who spend money like water have no idea how hard it is to accumulate spirit stones.
Outside Beitong City, Chu Kuo took out a spirit boat the size of a walnut.
The spirit boat landed and grew larger, with the familiar Ghost Head Gang flag hanging on its mast.
Chu Kuo jumped onto the spirit boat first, "Come on, let's set off."
Just as Su Diandian was about to climb up, a gust of wind suddenly swept from the side and struck her hand precisely.
Her hands, which were gripping the edge of the boat, slipped and fell heavily to the ground. She looked up and saw Shen Helin's dark face.
"Great-grandson, what a coincidence!" She waved to the other person in greeting.
Shen Helin had a gloomy face, but showed no intention of making a move, which made Chu Kuo lower his guard.
"Where are you two headed?" Shen Helin asked in a deep voice.
"Go to the border black market and sell yourself as a drug addict," Su Diandian said with a sarcastic laugh. "Your great-grandson is so loyal, how could your great-grandmother lead you to do something that betrays your ancestors?"
Chu Kuo whispered, "I can't beat him, should we run?"
Su Diandian shook her head subtly; there was no way she could escape.
"What are you going to the black market on the border for?" Shen Helin looked at the two of them with a deep gaze.
Su Diandian replied, "I already said, I'll just sell myself to the Poison Doctor Valley, what else can I do?"
Seeing her so composed, Shen Helin stopped talking and jumped onto the speedboat.
Su Diandian and Chu Kuo exchanged a glance. What did this guy mean?
"Let's go together." A hint of embarrassment appeared on Shen Helin's honest face.
If he wants to surpass his ancestor, he has no choice but to take this risky step.
"Aren't you afraid that before things even get done, Shen Changhen will find us?" This was Su Diandian's probing question; she wanted to know exactly when Shen Changhen would emerge from the small world.
Shen Helin casually wiped his hands on his coarse cloth clothes. "While you were unconscious, the small world showed signs of disturbance, which is why the ancestor was forced to enter."
He paused, then continued, "With the current situation unresolved, the ancestor cannot easily come out."
"So you're coming with me to spy on me?" Su Diandian asked tentatively.
Shen Helin rubbed the hem of his clothes, then glanced up at Chu Kuo. "I've taken your suggestion. The three of us will each get what we need."
Oh, I understand.
His idea was that Chu Kuo would sell her to the Poison Doctor Valley, and then Shen Helin would buy her back from there.
Su Diandian smiled knowingly, "Alright, let's work together."
"That won't do." Chu Kuo immediately spread his hands forward. "If you're riding on our coattails, you have to pay for it, right?"
