Chapter 195: Shamelessness
In an ordinary residence in Chillwaters capital, Xu Ge was squatting on the ground, toying with the ants on the ground with a tree branch. Zhao Yan was staring blankly at the sky above. There were no words exchanged between the two of them.
But as soon as the door opened, the two of them turned their attention over.
Young master. The two of them bowed.
Fang Chen nodded with a fatigued smile.
He had the Greenwood Puppet disguise itself as him and enter the cavern, but his soul had to tag along as well. He was worried that his soul wouldnt make it to Enlightenment Heaven Supremes abode, but to his surprise, not even the restriction art was able to block his path.
That being said, it was exhausting for him to astral project for such a long time. Furthermore, he had to control the Greenwood Puppets every move without the slightest delay, or else he would risk giving himself away.
Have you been to temples here in recent days? Fang Chen asked.nove(l)bi(n.)com
Zhao Yan and Xu Ge nodded. Chillwater worships a number of deities, but Enlightenment Heaven Supreme isnt one of them.
Fang Chen nodded. It could be that Chillwater didnt exist back when Enlightenment Heaven Supreme was still wandering the world, so he has no worshipers here.
Has the Ji Clan made any move? Fang Chen looked at Zhao Yan.
Nothing particular of note. They know that Xu Ge and I are residing here, but they didnt put any eyes on us, Zhao Yan replied.
Fang Chen nodded. Did you prepare the carriage I requested?
Its all prepared, Zhao Yan replied.
Lets set off. Fang Chen smiled.
Damn it! Its actually a puppet?! Enlightenment Heaven Supreme inspected the lifeless body on the ground, and his face slowly turned livid.
It had been many years since he was last taken for a ride, but to think that he would be fooled by a mere Ki Refinement cultivator?
That fellow is a sly one. He must have received quite the fortuitous encounter, or else he wouldnt have been so vigilant. There might be some truth in his words. There might be more Saint-tier spirit medicine there, Enlightenment Heaven Supreme murmured under his breath.
Chaoxianggong Nisheng sat down to recuperate. Li Daoye held the end of his promise and kept a lookout for her.
Ey, I hope young master Fang is alive. He sacrificed himself to lure the black-cloaked man away, so that we could escape. I really owe him big this time, Li Daoye remarked.
Brother Li? a shocked voice echoed.
Li Daoye looked over and broke out into a smile. Its the three of you! I thought you died in the hands of the stone fae.
However, his smile immediately crumbled when he saw Li Xiuming following the three of them.
Li Xiuming also saw Li Daoye, followed by the recuperating Chaoxianggong Nisheng, and he immediately deduced that she must have consumed the 100-year-old Scarlet Fruit or the Blood Ginseng, or else there was no way she could have survived till now.
His face immediately darkened.
Brother Xia, we have to kill my junior now. Shes severely injured now, but shes in the midst of recuperating. I wont be able to curb her in my current condition if she recovers from her injuries, and neither will the rest of you, Li Xiuming urged.
Li Daoye was momentarily stunned before he angrily berated, Screw you, Li Xiuming! How shameless can you get? You were the one who first assaulted Miss Nisheng so that you can take another cultivation companion! Tsk, you look like a decent human being, but who could have thought that you were actually a gigolo!
Xia Yun and his two juniors were surprised to hear that. They quickly distanced themselves from Li Xiuming.
Brother Li, what do they mean by that? Xia Yun asked with a frown.
Dont believe them. Just search his body. The ki stones and sword embryo must be with him! Li Xiuming calmly replied. Otherwise, it must be with Fang Chen.
But Daoist Fang has been captured, Liu Suifeng replied.
What?! Li Daoye leaped to his feet in shock. Did you just say that young master Fang has been captured? Did you see it with your own eyes?!
We did. Xia Yun sighed. Daoist Fang has indeed been captured. Unfortunately, we werent strong enough to help him.
Damn it! Why is he so unlucky?! Li Daoye was in distress.
This To verify Li Xiumings words, will you allow us to search your body? Liu Suifeng asked.
Search my body? How could you trust an outsiders words? Look at how severely injured Miss Nisheng is! Do you think wed be strong enough to steal anything from him? Li Daoye sneered. He is emaciated now, but thats because a black-cloaked figure siphoned his blood essence. Even I, young master Fang, and Miss Nisheng combined werent a match for him before!
Xia Yun was silent for a few seconds before sighing. We dont care about that. We received some injuries and lost quite a bit of our fortune coming in here. The last thing we want is to make a loss here. Let us search your body. Well admit our fate if you really dont have any ki stones or Blood Ginseng.
