Chapter 98: Chapter 97 Wow, you’re amazing

That day, Xie Jiuniang left the Sect, followed by a nuisance.

Just now, Xie Jiuniang unexpectedly learned from Xuanyuan You’s mouth that Wu Tong had gone to Xi’an City.

Wu Tong was a frequenter of the Baihua Building in Xi’an City, rumored to have taken a beauty there, and he would stay for several days each month.

Xuanyuan You was a troublemaker and insisted on coming along. Xie Jiuniang thought that having someone to take the blame in case of trouble wasn’t so bad, so she reluctantly let him follow.

They traveled part of the way on a Little Immortal Crane, and when the time was right, she sent the Little Immortal Crane back to the Sect.

Xie Jiuniang asked Xuanyuan You, "Where’s your flying vessel?"

Xuanyuan You took out a Little Flying Boat, proudly saying, "The Rongsheng Trading Company’s Little Flying Boat, how about it? My family bought it for me last month."

"Oh, nice."

Xie Jiuniang responded perfunctorily before taking out her own Little Flying Boat, considering that half a year had passed since the incident at the Tianshui Secret Realm, and she had no reservations.

Xuanyuan You was stunned, "Little Profiteer, you have one too?"

"What’s so surprising about that? My family bought it for me, it wasn’t expensive, and we have a half-price discount token from Rongsheng Trading Company." Xie Jiuniang unwittingly showed off.

Xuanyuan You was beyond envious, "Half price, huh? I don’t have that."

Xie Jiuniang looked unfazed.

Each boarded their own Little Flying Boat and zoomed off towards Xi’an City.

Don’t ask why the two of them, who could have ridden in one Little Flying Boat, chose to ride separately. If you do ask, it’s because both of them are exceptional talents.

Each wanted to show off to the other.

By the time the two arrived in Xi’an City on their Little Flying Boats, it was nearly dark. After entering the city, they made a trip to the Baihua Building.

To their surprise, Wu Tong was not there.

Xuanyuan You took it upon himself to take on the task of finding Wu Tong.

Xie Jiuniang was glad to be relieved of the burden.

As she was pondering how to control Wu Tong and compel him to reveal the truth, Xuanyuan You came over with a secretive air, "I’ve found him, oh."

Xie Jiuniang gave him a thumbs-up.

Xuanyuan You called over a young boy.

The boy led the way, turning through several alleys, until they arrived outside an old courtyard.

Xie Jiuniang asked her Sword Spirit, "Is anyone inside?"

"A man and a woman."

Ordinary formations couldn’t block Jian Lingyan’s probing.

Xuanyuan You handed the boy some Spirit Stones from a Storage Bag. The boy thanked him and left with the stones.

Xuanyuan You looked at the formation outside.

It was a standard Protective Array.

Xie Jiuniang’s eyes flickered, and she said wistfully, "Ah, if only we could sneak in unnoticed."

"My Contracted Beast can get in, but unfortunately it can’t take us with it," Xuanyuan You offered.

Xie Jiuniang’s eyes brightened, and she pulled out a Shadow Stone from her Storage Ring.

Shadow Stones were precious minerals from a certain Secret Realm, processed by formation masters. Carving a particular Array Pattern on the stones allowed them to record images.

These stones were expensive, so Xie Jiuniang wouldn’t buy them. During her last trip to the Tianshui Secret Realm, she discovered a bunch of Storage Rings and Storage Bags, from which she found over a dozen stones, but only two were blank.

Xie Jiuniang had kept one, and now it came in handy.

Xuanyuan You, upon seeing the Shadow Stone, was surprised, "Little Profiteer is really wealthy."

"Not as much as you."

Xie Jiuniang modestly deflected before sharing her plan.

Xuanyuan You released his Contracted Beast from the Spiritual Beast Bag, a Netherworld Cat, a tiny kitten that was both cute and adorable.

Xie Jiuniang hung the Shadow Stone around the Netherworld Cat’s neck, instructing it to slip inside and record the man and woman, especially their faces, clearly.

The Netherworld Cat nodded its tiny head and slinked into the house. The barrier formed by the Protective Array was as if nonexistent to it.

Xie Jiuniang said enviously, "Your Contracted Beast is good."

"Of course, my great-grandfather gave it to me for my eighth birthday," Xuanyuan You boasted with pride, who would have wagged a tail if he had one.

Jian Lingyan suddenly spoke, "Master, you have me. That Ghost Cat only has so much skill; it wouldn’t survive one of my strikes."

"Wow, you’re so impressive."

Xie Jiuniang praised without much sincerity.

With just one sentence, she could deal with two people.

After half a cup of tea had passed, the Netherworld Cat appeared.

Xuanyuan You stepped forward first to take down the Shadow Stone, but then suddenly remembered something and blushed while stammering, "You’re a young girl, do you really want to watch it?"

Xie Jiuniang snatched the Shadow Stone over and asked curiously, "Of course I want to watch, why are you blushing?"

"I mean, I mean that Wu Tong and that woman must have been up to no good inside, they might be, might be naked."

Xie Jiuniang understood and nonchalantly said, "What’s there to fuss about, hasn’t everyone been naked before?"

"What? I have not——" Xuanyuan You flared up.

"Tsk! You were born naked, exposed for the midwife and your mother to see." Xie Jiuniang retorted assertively.

Xuanyuan You was left speechless.

Does the Little Profiteer argue with reason?

Can a baby be compared to an adult?

As Xie Jiuniang was speaking, she examined the Shadow Stone with her Divine Sense.

Unfortunately, the two inside were getting dressed.

Clearly, their business was finished, and they were almost ready to leave.

Xie Jiuniang quickly pulled Xuanyuan You into hiding, then handed the Shadow Stone back to him, urging, "They’re about to come out, take a quick look, that female cultivator looks somewhat familiar."

Xuanyuan You hesitantly probed with his Divine Sense and, finding it was not the situation he had feared, boldly observed without worry.

When he got a clear look at the female cultivator’s face...

"Eh? Isn’t that Gu Zheng True Person’s concubine?" Xuanyuan You was shocked.

Xie Jiuniang was equally surprised.

Wu Tong is quite bold, daring to touch the concubine of a Golden Core True Person. If news of this spreads, even Wu Tong’s father won’t be able to cover it up.

Using the cover of night, they employed an Invisibility Talisman and a Breath Concealment Talisman, waiting outside.

The formation around the old house disappeared.

The first to come out was a beautiful female cultivator, and it wasn’t until a quarter of an hour after she left that Wu Tong emerged with a spring in his step.

He had not gone far when...

Suddenly, he was enveloped by a Small Isolation Array.

On seeing a young girl within the Array, Wu Tong asked cautiously, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

Bang!

Wu Tong was knocked out with a blunt instrument.

The person who had acted was Xuanyuan You.

After doing the deed, an exhilarated Xuanyuan You exclaimed, "Little Profiteer, I did it!"

"Yeah, you did great."

Seeing his state, Xie Jiuniang knew he was a rookie who had just learned how to misbehave.

Not like her, steady as a rock.

The two dragged Wu Tong back inside the old house and then pulled out an Array Plate to start up the formation.

After tying Wu Tong up, they began to search his body.

Xuanyuan You was the most excited, searching Wu Tong thoroughly and even finding a hidden Storage Bag.

Xie Jiuniang wiped off the Divine Sense mark on Wu Tong’s Storage Bag, laid out all the contents one by one, and finally her gaze settled on the white powder in a Jade Box.

The powder wasn’t pure white; it had a hint of blue.

It was this shade of blue that was slightly eerie.

"Do you know what this is?" Xie Jiuniang asked Xuanyuan You.

"I don’t recognize it, never seen it before," said Xuanyuan You, who had been scrutinizing it for a while and was just about to stretch out a finger to touch some.

"Slap!"

His hand was promptly slapped away by her.

Xie Jiuniang glared at him and scolded, "Have you lost your mind? Touching unknown powder, it could poison you to death!"

Frightened, Xuanyuan You shivered.
