"Actually, the reason why the three of us are keeping a close eye on this mine is to send the core of the Starry Sky Alkyne mine to the battlefield outside the region."
Almost the instant he finished speaking, Liang Qiuyuan successfully saw the two statues standing motionless opposite him, looking at him with some shock.
Stared at by two such intense gazes, Liang Qiuyuan had a moment of conscience and added with a smile, "Well, if you want to change the terms, that's fine too."
Millet/Sweet Potato: ...
Finally, the senior and junior disciples remembered the Star Constellation Elixir that they had already taken away. To avoid arousing suspicion from the three major families, they finally spoke up and asked for a reasonably priced amount.
Following that, the two sides discussed the matter and also finalized their plans and the location for their next meeting.
After saying all this, Liang Qiuyuan looked at Shushu with a hesitant expression, as if he wanted to say something but was too embarrassed to speak because he was worried about something.
Shushu felt uneasy under his gaze. She endured it for a while, but finally, when their eyes met for the third time and the other person looked away, she asked directly, "Fellow Daoist Liangqiu, is there something you need?"
Having been caught red-handed time and time again, Liang Qiuyuan gave an awkward smile, a rare hint of embarrassment on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Shu, after this matter is settled, could you please do me a favor? Rest assured, it won't be for nothing. Whether it succeeds or not, my Liangqiu family will surely reward you handsomely."
These words clearly indicated that this matter was not simple. Shushu and Luli exchanged a glance, but did not agree immediately. Instead, they asked about the situation: "What is it? Is it dangerous?"
The key point is the latter. If the risk level is not high, she is willing to help, but if the risk level is too high, Shushu thinks it's better for her not to get involved.
Upon hearing this, Liang Qiuyuan knew there was hope, and his eyes lit up immediately. He repeatedly assured him.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Shu, this matter is not very dangerous. We just need your help to find something. We have a general direction, but we just can't find the specific one."
"You know your special nature, and you might be able to sense it. Don't worry, I will bring the family's experts with me, and I will make sure nothing happens to you."
Liang Qiuyuan went on and on, practically patting his chest to make a guarantee.
Seeing this, Shushu whispered to Lu Li for a while, and finally said that they would make plans after the current matter was resolved.
The reason, of course, is that they have limited knowledge of the Liangqiu family and plan to ask Pei Anlan for his opinion later.
Liang Qiuyuan, upon hearing this reply, felt somewhat disappointed but also understood, and did not pursue the matter further.
He glanced curiously at the group of little ones around him, then said goodbye and prepared to leave to contact their people and update the plan.
Just as he was about to leave, the Heavenly Seal suddenly appeared without warning and swept him away in a flash. The moment he was caught, his face was filled with astonishment.
Finally, he sensed a familiar presence and realized that this was the person who had saved him from the brink of death. Only then did he suppress his astonishment and let the other person carry him away.
In the instant he completely vanished into the space, he glanced at Shushu with a hint of reluctance, hoping that Shushu would be willing to lend a hand next time they met.
There was no other way; they were in a real hurry. That thing concerned the injury and life of one of their family's patriarchs, and the healing pills he needed were missing just one last spiritual plant.
They searched almost every inch of the land they could find, going through countless hardships, before finally confirming the existence of this spiritual plant there.
Unfortunately, this spiritual plant has legs and is extremely good at disguising itself and escaping. The family had been staking out the area for a long time, only managing to spot it from afar a few times, but each time it managed to escape.
He figured that since the millet was a member of the treasure-hunting rat clan, it must have a sense for those rare and precious materials, making it much easier to find them.
As for how he knew that the millet was the treasure-hunting rat, we have to mention his innate supernatural ability—the Eye of Truth.
Yes, just as Lu Li had guessed, he had the Eye of Truth. The two knew each other as soon as they met, but neither of them said it out loud.
He possesses the Eye of Truth, which means that as long as Liang Qiuyuan wants, he can see through all illusions and pretenses and see through the true nature of the other party.
This is why his eyes changed several times when he first saw Lu Li, because he realized that Lu Li was a phoenix.
Upon waking up and seeing the millet, he immediately recognized it as the Millet Treasure-Seeking Mouse, which led to his request.
The reason it was a request rather than coercion is that Liang Qiuyuan himself is a person of good character.
Furthermore, the Liangqiu family is an established family in the Donglong Realm, which is a hidden realm in the Middle Thousand Worlds. Apart from lacking the vastness of the Daxu Realm, its strength and knowledge are in no way inferior.
Therefore, these disciples of large families had naturally seen and come into contact with divine beasts.
Knowing that mythical beasts, especially the treasure-hunting rat clan, are incredibly protective of their offspring, they'll fight without any regard for reason when it comes to their cubs.
Therefore, even if these established powers covet the divine beasts, they will not easily provoke them, for fear that if they beat the small ones, the big ones will come after them.
After all, given the temperament of the treasure-hunting rat clan, if they are found to be bullying the young members of a family, they will beat up the young ones and send in a group of older ones until they overturn the family.
Of course, as long as you don't touch their sensitive spots, the treasure-hunting rats are quite easy to talk to. They will help with requests that come to them, as long as they are not too outrageous.
If it weren't for the difficulty of making a trip to Daweijie, the long travel time, and the high resource consumption, Liangqiu's family would have gone to ask for help long ago.
They had already planned to make the trip no matter what, but they never expected such a pleasant surprise—they actually found a treasure-hunting rat right in their own home.
Although they didn't know why this treasure-hunting rat was hanging out with a phoenix, and they hadn't heard any news about it, Liang Qiuyuan thought that as long as the treasure-hunting rat was willing to help, that would be fine.
Soon, the scene before him changed, and he was thrown back to the stronghold that the three major families had secretly captured by the Wentian Seal.
Several people were still hiding in the stronghold, including the young master who used to follow Lu Li around. However, everyone looked rather dejected and had a worried expression on their faces.
It was only when they saw Liang Qiuyuan appear that these people shook off their fatigue and looked over with surprise.
The young master rushed to Liang Qiuyuan's side like a gust of wind, excitedly whispering, "Great, you're not dead."
Liang Qiuyuan: ....
Meanwhile, Shushu and the others by the pool saw Pei Anlan again, who had managed to sneak out.
