"Fellow Daoist, you may not know that in recent years, during the Yang Year, those weapon cultivators and alchemy cultivators have been flocking to rare treasures like the Golden Crow Reverse Feather. Without inside information, it would be impossible to keep up with the bidding. Moreover, as a disciple of the Blue Sea, I cannot leave the sect without permission, and I am powerless to do anything about this matter."
Wang Qianye sighed and said, "Just a few days ago, I finally heard through someone that a fur shop in Wozhou had a Golden Crow's Reverse Feather hanging on the shelves. I asked Master for leave and went there the next day. However, after just one day's delay, the shop was completely deserted. If it weren't for my fellow Daoist's help today, I'm afraid I would have missed out on getting the Golden Crow's Reverse Feather."
"Wait a minute," Tu Nian narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, "Is the shop you're talking about at the intersection in the center of Vaud?"
Wang Qianye was surprised, "How did you know that, fellow Daoist?"
damn it.
Tu Nian cursed in his heart, his brows slowly furrowed.
Could it be that her inference was wrong, and those men in black were originally going for the Golden Crow Niyu, not for her?
But this is too much of a coincidence!
Thinking of this, Tu Nian stood up and left. Wang Qianye was caught off guard and immediately stood up and said, "Daoyou are leaving?"
Tu didn't reply, his feet moving quickly. "Save the story for next time. If you need the Golden Crow Niyu again, feel free to contact me. I'll only charge you 100,000 yuan for returning customers."
Leaving Wang Qianye standing there with a confused look on his face, Tu Nian left.
When a group of black-clad men of unknown origin repeatedly appeared around them, most people couldn't ignore them, and Tu Nian was no exception. Therefore, she decided to return to the clan as soon as possible, starting with her own ancient books. If that didn't work, she would then look for Zhe Chi.
Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned. Fang Yuan, who had originally promised to send her back to the clan, suddenly changed his mind and asked her to go with him to Xue Shiqian.
"It's about Junior Brother Sheng. Master said he would compensate you personally." Fang Yuan said earnestly as he stood in front of Tu Nian.
Tu Nian almost rolled his eyes to the sky.
Two days are not enough for him to pay the compensation, why does he have to wait until today?
It's clear Fang Yuan tried very hard, but it has to be said that honest people are not suited to lying. Not to mention that this excuse is laughably lame, just look at Fang Yuan's ears; they're almost ripe.
"Just go back and tell Sect Master Xue that all the compensation has been converted into cash, and I'll come back next time to take it away."
Tu Nian casually replied and tried to move around Fang Yuan, but was always blocked by his precise steps and then dismissed by him with a single sentence, "How can you pass on a message like this? It's better for you to go and report it yourself, little sister Tu."
"Get out of the way."
"I can't let you go."
“…”
After a disagreement, the two started playing a game of "Eagle Catches Chicken". At first, Fang Yuan said a few words to pretend when he stopped the man, but later he realized that Tu Nian had already known that he was lying to her, so he simply stopped pretending and directly took the man and went to the sect.
Tu Nian was being held in his hand like a chicken. There was no way he could resist. He could only beg for mercy with a sad face, "Brother Fang, please let me go. I really have something urgent to do and need to return to the clan."
Fang Yuan had never done such a robbery before. Facing Tu Nian's plea for mercy, he also said with a wry smile: "I really can't make this decision. Sister Tu, just cooperate with me."
What a mess!
It was not until they arrived at a building made entirely of crystal that Tu Nian's feet finally returned to the ground. She stood firmly and glared at Fang Yuan fiercely.
Fang Yuan could only smile bitterly, clasping his fists to apologize to her, "I promise, this won't happen again."
I don't believe you. Tu Nianbai glanced at him and said nothing.
"Little friend Tu is quite emotional."
Xue Shiqian staggered out of the room in front of him. With a wave of his hand, two streaks of white light flashed out of thin air, and two jade-white spiritual plants appeared beside him. In just one glance, Tu Nian's eyes were glued to them, unable to move away.
What a perfect jade hibiscus!
The leaves of these two jade hibiscus plants were a jade-white hue as soft as fat, while their petals had a translucent quality, resembling thin slices of polished jade. A jade hibiscus of this quality must have been nurtured with the breast milk of a pregnant spirit, and judging by their size, they must be at least a century old.
Tu Nian dared to guarantee that with these two jade hibiscus plants, he would be able to refine a superior hibiscus rejuvenating pill. One pill could easily turn a forty-year-old face into a twenty-year-old one.
Knowing that Tu Nian was an expert, Xue Shiqian didn't exaggerate the value of the two jade hibiscus plants. He simply said, "These are all compensation to you, my friend. Isn't that sincere enough?"
Tu Nian raised his hand and put the two jade hibiscus plants into the mustard seed, which was regarded as accepting Xue Shiqian's compensation for the Sheng Gaoyang incident, but his attitude was still subtle.
"Compensation is one thing, but detaining people is another."
With a slight raise of her eyebrows, she looked at Xue Shiqian with interest, "Even if Sect Master Xue likes me, you can't force me to stay in the blue sea. If this gets spread by someone with ulterior motives, it will be very embarrassing."
When Xue Shiqian heard her emphasize the three words "interested people", his heart trembled immediately, and the confidence that he had a clear understanding of the situation disappeared in an instant.
Are you kidding? Everyone knows that old fox Nie Yanchen is the number one gossip king in the world of immortal cultivation. Even if Xue Shiqian loses his face, he still has to protect the reputation of Bi Hai!
"No, no," Xue Shiqian said with an embarrassed smile, "How can you say it's a tie? It's an invitation."
"I see." Tu Nian raised his eyebrows in relief. "Then may I ask if the matter with the Sect Master is settled? If there is anything else you want me to do besides compensation, that will be at a different price."
Tu Nian's words clearly implied extortion, and Xue Shiqian felt deeply hurt. But there was nothing he could do. As Tu Nian had said, when hiring someone to do something, at least their attitude had to be right.
But even two Jade Hibiscus plants couldn't deal with this woman... even if she was just a small woman! This one was too tough.
After slightly exercising his back teeth, Xue Shiqian smiled and said, "Of course. Since you said it's a treat, I'll let you name the price."
I finally waited for you to say this!
"As expected of the Bihai Sect Master, he speaks and acts with boldness."
Tu Nian quickly took over, fearing that he would go back on his word. After she finished flattering him, her eyes curved a little more, hiding all the cunning in them.
Then she chuckled and said, "But I haven't thought of anything to ask for in return yet, so I'll just owe you for now. When I remember, I'll ask you for it back."
The old fox also teaches the little foxes!
Xue Shiqian cursed inwardly, and after a few twitchings in the corners of his eyes, he finally managed a smile and replied, "Okay, then please follow me first, little friend."
After saying that, he turned around and brought Tu Nian into the room with a painful look on his face. At the same time, he secretly swore in his heart - he would establish a new sect rule tomorrow. From now on, if anyone in the Blue Sea dares to mess with this little girl again, no matter if he is a direct disciple or not, he will be expelled from the sect!
