He paused, then hesitated for a moment: "If it's inconvenient, young friend, just pretend I didn't ask."
"It's alright." Regardless of what the other person meant, Shushu still acted quite well on the surface.
She continued, "Actually, he didn't say much. It was just that Senior Tian Suanzi was giving me some pointers and telling me how to find information about the Heavenly Dao."
Anyway, these old guys already knew that she could find the remnants of the Heavenly Dao's consciousness, so there was no need for Shushu to cover it up.
As for Tian Suanzi's request for help in finding the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion's treasure artifact, there's no need to tell them, nor is it appropriate to do so, since it's none of their business.
Thinking of this, Shushu's expression showed no guilt whatsoever; he was open and honest, his eyes clear, showing no sign of lying, as did Lu Li beside him.
The Vast Venerable looked at the millet and then at Lu Li, but found nothing amiss. His gaze then quietly met that of the elders of the Myriad Swords Sect underground.
Seeing that everyone had the same expression as him, he gave up and moved on to the next thing, taking out a storage ring and handing it over.
"This is a token of our Wanjian Sect's gratitude. We thank you both for your assistance in the Qiyuan Secret Realm. We will need your help in the search for the Heavenly Dao. If you need anything, please feel free to come to our Wanjian Sect. We will do our utmost to restore peace and tranquility to the Daxu Realm as soon as possible."
This was the gift of gratitude and the promise. Shushu himself was a little unsure whether to accept it or not. He looked at Lu Li and saw him nod slightly before he smiled and accepted it: "Thank you, Venerable One. This junior will."
After saying that, Shushu put away the storage ring without checking what was inside.
Next, Shushu exchanged pleasantries with the other party for a while and even exchanged communication jade tokens.
They then took their leave, and Jing Ruiyi saw them off again, this time taking them directly back to his residence.
As Shushu Luli left, the door to the reception room closed again, the barrier reopened, and the Vast Venerable looked down at the group below: "What do you have to say?"
The large group below didn't speak immediately, but pondered for a while before one of them replied, "The other party gives me a good impression; they shouldn't be the cunning type."
With him leading the way, others followed suit.
"That's how I feel too."
"The girl's eyes were open and honest."
"Both of them had a clean and pure aura, and they looked very upright, not like they were pretending."
...
These people talked all at once, and they all said nice things. Haohan respectfully concluded in the end.
"It seems that these two are indeed trustworthy. In that case, we will fully cooperate to cover for them and strive to find the Heavenly Dao as soon as possible to kill those rats hiding in the Puyuan Realm."
"yes."
