Tu Feng saw Liu Yunqing looking over with some surprise and chuckled softly.
"Given your skills, you two have already killed enough Sand Scorpions. You don't need to kill any more. You're just exchanging points in the city and you have no objection to my assignment. So I dare to guess that you two are here for me."
Master Mingxin smiled, waved his hand, and gestured with his chin toward Liu Yunqing, saying:
"Not two, but one."
Liu Yunqing smiled and bowed to Tu Feng, then, like him, went straight to the point:
"Having just arrived in Red Moon City, I'd like to find a guide. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Tu is available?"
As Liu Yunqing spoke, he flipped his wrist and produced a packet of spirit stones:
"This is a deposit. If Fellow Daoist Tu is willing, we will return ten times the amount after we have completed our business."
Tu Feng, who was about to refuse, suddenly had an idea after Liu Yunqing finished speaking. He took the spirit stone bag and saw that there were one hundred spirit stones lying quietly inside.
Medium grade.
Ten times that amount is a thousand mid-grade spirit stones.
Converted to low-grade spirit stones, that's one million.
Just for being a guide, he spent a million spirit stones—what a generous gesture!
Tu Feng tossed the spirit stone bag in his hand, then looked at Liu Yunqing and said:
"This isn't your average guide, is it? How long will it take? What will you be doing?"
Liu Yunqing did not deny it, but said directly:
"There is indeed some danger, but in Red Moon City, isn't it always dangerous as long as you're alive?"
"The exact duration is uncertain, but it will not exceed three months. You can go about your own business when you are not busy. The tasks are similar to those of a regular guide."
Tu Feng tossed the spirit stone bag around again, then tossed it back to Liu Yunqing, and said to Liu Yunqing's somewhat surprised gaze:
“I can accept transactions, but I don’t want spirit stones.”
Liu Yunqing gestured with his hand:
"Please speak."
"Once things are done, I would like to ask you to heal my injuries."
Liu Yunqing was taken aback, her gaze naturally falling on Tu Feng, and she asked in confusion:
"I have not studied healing arts."
This is the second time someone has sought solace from me.
If we include Liu Yunzhao, who wanted his life, then he would be the third.
If I were born with a wood elemental root, that would be one thing, but when did a fire elemental root become a sacred healing body?
Seeing that Liu Yunqing did not refuse outright, Tu Feng breathed a slight sigh of relief. He looked around and released an isolation array, saying:
"Fellow Daoist, please observe."
After saying that, Tu Feng raised his palm and slapped his other arm. A cluster of red and black lines covered the previously bluish-purple veins on his arm, which was originally normal.
Upon seeing this, Liu Yunqing's eyes widened slightly, and her divine sense involuntarily attached itself to the object before quickly withdrawing it.
"Where did Fellow Daoist Tu get this injury?"
Liu Yunqing asked urgently, and Tu Feng hadn't yet recovered from the shock of the other party using divine sense to examine his arm, so he subconsciously answered:
"Injuries sustained by the same person in a fight within a secret realm."
Liu Yunqing pressed further:
"What secret realm? What did the person you fought look like?"
Tu Feng opened his mouth, as if to say something, but seeing Liu Yunqing's serious expression, he answered according to her wishes:
"It's a secret realm in the Tai Xuan Mountains. As for the person fighting, he was completely covered in a black robe. Apart from knowing that he was a burly male cultivator, we couldn't see what he looked like."
"However, that person's cultivation method is strange, and I suspect he is an evil cultivator."
After Tu Feng finished speaking, seeing Liu Yunqing deep in thought and silent, he softly probed:
"Does fellow Daoist know this person?"
Not hearing the answer she wanted, Liu Yunqing could only gather her thoughts, shake her head, and say:
"I didn't know that the person you're talking about is just a certain aura from your injuries that I've seen on other people."
The injuries on Tu Feng's body appeared to be red and black, but when Liu Yunqing examined them with his divine sense, he could clearly feel the same aura he had sensed on Liu Yunzhao back then.
So when Liu Yunqing asked Tu Feng who he was fighting, he wondered if it was Liu Yunzhao, but when Tu Feng said it was a man, he was somewhat disappointed.
However, upon further reflection, Liu Yunqing felt relieved.
Liu Yunzhao has that thing on her body, so she might also be troubled by it, especially the remnant soul inside her, which seems to have a very strong desire to possess other bodies.
Thinking of possession, Liu Yunqing shifted her gaze back to Tu Feng, and asked Xiao Jin in her mind:
"Take a look at this person and see if there's anything wrong with him. Does he have any remnant soul or anything like that?"
Xiao Jin quickly replied:
"No, but this person is quite remarkable. Despite being injured for so many years, his cultivation level hasn't declined much, and he's even managed to control his injuries quite well."
The Tai Xuan Mountains, the evil cultivators, the familiar aura, and the fact that Si Youfeng came to Red Moon City this time was because he suspected that there were high-ranking evil cultivators in the Tai Xuan Sect.
Liu Yunqing pondered for a moment, then looked at Tu Feng and said:
"Okay, it's settled then. You'll be my guide, and I'll heal your wounds after I've finished my business."
"To show my sincerity, I can treat Fellow Daoist Tu once after we enter the city."
Upon hearing this, Tu Feng's eyes lit up instantly, and he reached out to lead the way for Liu Yunqing, saying:
"please!"
...
By this time, it was already daylight, and the Sand Scorpion had retreated.
Apart from the injured who were still recuperating at their camp, everyone else gradually lined up at the entrance of Red Moon City.
Those who were familiar with Tu Feng looked on with curiosity when they saw him and Liu Yunqing emerge from the formation and head towards the city gate in a harmonious atmosphere.
Only after the three had disappeared from sight did someone ask the person who was usually closest to Tu Feng.
"Hey, what did Boss Tu say to those two women? I feel like his attitude towards them is a bit unusual!"
As the man spoke, he deliberately made faces and gestures, appearing rather lewd and strange.
The person being asked rolled their eyes and said irritably:
"Our Boss Tu isn't someone who's blinded by lust. As for what he said... if you're so curious, go ask him yourselves!"
After saying that, he also stepped towards the city gate.
Another person, however, rolled their eyes and boldly guessed:
"Isn't Boss Tu's biggest worry the hidden injury he suffered before? I suppose he thinks these two women are disciples of a major sect and probably wants to buy pills from them?"
It was common knowledge that Tu Feng was injured, but few knew how serious the injury was. This person's explanation, however, was quite plausible.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, at least those who stayed at the temporary camp today know that as long as they don't court death, these two female cultivators should be able to live quite comfortably in the city.
Unfortunately, Liu Yunqing didn't cause trouble, but he wasn't there to seek comfort either.
After entering the city with Tu Feng, and staying at an inn as arranged by Tu Feng, the three of them sat down to talk.
"This inn is not very good, please forgive us, fairies. It is just that the Red Moon Day in Red Moon City is approaching, so inns are very hard to find."
Liu Yunqing didn't care about these things. After exchanging a few polite words with Tu Feng, she took the opportunity to ask:
"I wonder what story lies behind this Red Moon Day that draws so many people there?"
