Chapter 98 - The Little Girl Who Suddenly Appeared

“There are indeed some small matters that I need Junior Brother’s help with,” Jing Ting said as he looked at Jiang Lan.

Selling the Goddess’ bathing recording was a serious crime.

He was also very helpless. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come today.

Lin Siya had been threatening him.

It made him exceptionally uncomfortable.

If he had a choice, he would definitely not have accepted that blue recording bead.

Then there would be no trouble today.

“What is it?” Jiang Lan asked.

He had always been vigilant when it came to helping others.

Especially after being followed recently, he was even more vigilant. He just didn’t show it.

It was easy to alert the enemy.

“Junior Brother, do you still remember the aqua blue bead I gave you when I left the Ninth Summit?” Jing Ting asked.

He did not immediately mention the name of the bead.

Jiang Lan pondered for a moment.

When Jing Ting left the Ninth Summit.

At that time, he did give him some things. There was also a bead among these things. If he remembered correctly, the bead should be… Ao Longyu’s bathing scene.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lan understood their purpose for coming.

Especially since Senior Sister Lin was Ao Longyu’s Junior Sister.

He didn’t ask anything and took out the bead from the red gourd.

“Senior Brother, are you talking about this?”

Actually, it might be better to say that the bead was destroyed, but the other party might not believe it. If they wholeheartedly wanted to find it, it might become troublesome for him.

It would be better to hand it over directly. After all, this thing did not have much value.

But to the others, it might be a thorn.

Lin Siya was elated when she saw the bead.

Jing Ting heaved a sigh of relief as well. His Junior Brother from the Ninth Summit was rather introverted, and he indeed would not sell such things.

Otherwise, who knew how long they would have to search.

Anyway, he knew that Lin Siya had searched for many years before finding this place.

Lin Siya immediately took the pearl and said.

“We want to take this back. Junior Brother, you can tell us what compensation you need.”

Naturally, they would not take it by force.

That would cause them a lot of trouble.

There was nothing wrong with small fights between the summits, but the Ninth Summit was different.

The Ninth Summit had just one disciple and the Summit Leader of the Ninth Summit valued him highly.

Compensation?

Jiang Lan actually didn’t need any compensation. After all, this thing didn’t have any value to begin with.

He would accept whatever they were willing to give him.

It was just to not owe each other anything.

They would not have to interact much in the future.

Lin Siya was originally very happy, but when she checked the bead, she was suddenly stunned.

The smile froze on her face.

She looked at Jiang Lan and asked.

“Junior Brother, have you seen the contents?”

Jing Ting was shocked. He immediately said.

“When I gave it to Junior Brother Jiang, it was still in an unopened state. Junior Brother Jiang, you have to tell the truth.”

Jiang Lan looked at Lin Siya and Jing Ting and said.

“I thought that there must be something fishy about what’s inside. I was only trying to confirm it.”

He was speaking the truth. When he received the bead, he knew that this bead was not ordinary.

However, after he saw the contents.

He realized that the content was nothing much.

Dragon scales were considered clothes, right?

“Junior Brother, you can take the bead.” Lin Siya handed the pearl to Jiang Lan and continued.

“We’ll come back another day. By the way, please don’t lose the bead, Junior Brother.”

After Jiang Lan held the bead, Lin Siya ran away.

She had to go back and find out more.

Jing Ting also ran away.

Jiang Lan didn’t understand what these people were doing.

But…

“This bead seems to be troublesome.”

Looking at the bead in his hand, Jiang Lan had this feeling.

But it shouldn’t be an exaggeration, so there was nothing to be concerned about.

As for coming over another day.

If he did not leave the mountain, these people would not be able to find him.

He didn’t care when they would come. If they met, they met. If they didn’t, there was nothing he could do either.

After putting away the bead, Jiang Lan walked outside.

This time, he planned to visit the Kunlun Disciples’ place of cultivation.

Perhaps he could find a way to lure out the person in the dark. As long as he knew the other party’s cultivation level, it would be enough.

He had no idea what was going on currently. This made him feel unsafe.

If there was really no other way, he could only bring the Immortal Binding Rope (pseudo) out of Kunlun to give it a try.

Fortunately, the other party did not dare to go to the Ninth Summit.

Jiang Lan walked all the way to the place where the Kunlun disciples cultivated their spells.

He walked for a long time, passing by some crowded places.

However, he did not notice that person’s appearance.

Just as he was about to arrive, he finally felt someone staring at him from behind.

He didn’t care.

He pretended not to know.

It had been like this for the past few years.

But…

Why didn’t the other party conceal anything this time?

It seemed to be right behind him.

Did the person not bother hiding anymore?

“Something’s not right.” Jiang Lan felt that it was different from before.

“There’s something wrong with this person’s gaze. Not only does this person have no malicious intent, but this person’s gaze seems somewhat indecisive. Is this person hesitating?”

This was completely different from before.

Moreover, he could hear footsteps. As long as he tried to sense the other party, he could sense the person’s cultivation.

Mid-stage Essence Soul Realm?

The other party was right behind him, and he couldn’t continue pretending anymore.

Then, he stopped and looked back.

Jiang Lan frowned.

It was a little girl.

She had a high ponytail and was wearing blue and white clothes. Her eyes were big and very cute.

Seeing Jiang Lan looking over, the other party was a little nervous, but she didn’t shy away.

“What is it?” Jiang Lan asked.

He was sure that he had never seen this little girl before and did not think that she was the person who had followed him previously.

Their level of tracking was completely different.

However, Jiang Lan did not let down his guard.

The other party might be well versed in the art of disguise.

This little girl was following him so blatantly that it would be hard for him not to notice.

Thus, he could only take the initiative to ask.

“You’re the Junior Brother of the Ninth Summit?” The little girl quickly calmed down and asked.

“Yes, Senior Sister is?” Jiang Lan asked.

He didn’t know who the other party was at all.

As for the fact that this Senior Sister looked like a child, he was not surprised by it.

The vast Grand Desolate World was filled with all sorts of wonders. As some people cultivated, they became smaller and smaller.

Some were because of their divine powers, some were because of their race, while some were because of their cultivation techniques.

Let alone Senior Sister, the possibility of the little girl being a Senior Granny was very high.

“I am a disciple of the Third Summit…” The little girl paused as if she had swallowed something before continuing.

“Master and the rest call me Xiaoyu.”

As she spoke, she took out the Third Summit’s token.

She was indeed a disciple of the Third Summit.

“Why is Senior Sister looking for me?” Jiang Lan asked.

Third Summit?

He was very sure that he had no grudges with the Third Summit.

Or rather, he had no grudges with anyone in the entire sect.

Even his interactions with his fellow disciples were rare.

There shouldn’t be anyone who would cause trouble for him for no reason. At most, there would be people who couldn’t stand how quickly his cultivation advanced.

But it did not matter.

However, it was hard to say if there were any spies in the Third Summit.

He had a grudge against spies. He had accidentally killed many of them.

It was mainly because those people refused to let him off.

“Where does Junior Brother intend to go?” Xiaoyu asked.

“I was intending on just walking around,” Jiang Lan replied.

He did not know the other party’s motive, so he did not intend to say anything more.

So far, the person who had tailed him had not appeared. This little girl was very likely the person.
