Under his daughter's strong request, Mr. Zhong finally agreed to let his daughter spend some time alone with Chen Yang.
After Mr. Zhong and the three white-clothed practitioners walked away, Zhong Yao knelt down and said, "Thank you so much for saving my life, sir. I will definitely let my father thank you again."
"You're welcome, just tell me where the box is."
Chen Yang waved his hand. The thank-you gifts from ordinary merchant families were nothing more than gold and silver, which were of no use to him. He was more concerned about the whereabouts of Wang Yu's box.
Zhong Yao had no choice but to tell the conversation she overheard while being escorted.
It turned out that the robbers had only found the box in the water tank in the past few days, but they couldn't open the box despite all their efforts. In desperation, the bearded man had no choice but to take the box into the city and replace it with another one that was said to be useful against practitioners.
The bronze bell.
As long as this copper bell is shaken, it can make a sound that makes the practitioners uncomfortable. The bandits used the copper bell to eliminate the guards of the Zhong family practitioners and kidnapped Zhong Yao.
Chen Yang happened to know the Taoist who exchanged the copper bell for the box. He was Taoist Yuan Cheng!
However, Chen Yang still wondered why the copper bell didn't work on him, and asked Zhong Yao carefully. Unfortunately, Zhong Yao was not a practitioner and could not explain the reason.
After the two parties briefly introduced each other, Chen Yang learned that Zhong Yao was traveling to Qingxu Sect to become a disciple. Mr. Zhong had a younger brother who happened to be an elder of Qingxu Sect, so he sent several Qingxu Sect disciples to come.
Escort your niece there.
Unexpectedly, they encountered robbers on the way and had an accident, resulting in Zhong Yao being kidnapped by strong men.
The three young men in white who came with Mr. Zhong to rescue people this time are disciples of the Qingxu Sect.
"Mr. Chen, if it's convenient, can you send the little girl to Qingxu Sect? I know that Mr. Chen doesn't like gold and silver. If you are willing to follow me to Qingxu Sect, I will ask my uncle to send you some cultivation items that satisfy Mr. Chen.
"
After Zhong Yao heard that Chen Yang was a casual cultivator, she knew that the Zhong family could not come up with a thank you gift that would satisfy Chen Yang, so she suggested that Chen Yang follow her to the Qingxu Sect.
In her opinion, the training resources obtained by casual cultivators are definitely not as good as those of the orthodox sects.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yang shook his head and said: "I have something else to do recently, so I can't go to Qingxu Sect with you, but you still want to thank me, so you can do something for me."
"Master Chen, please tell me. If this little girl can do it, she will definitely be close to her full strength."
Zhong Yao was also worried that the other party would ask her to reveal some Qingxu Sect skills. If so, Chen Yang would not be satisfied.
As a result, Chen Yang only raised his hand and pointed at the three Qingxu Sect disciples present, and said lightly: "Miss Zhong, help me ask them if they know a man named Qin Ming. He also went to Qing Dynasty not long ago.
Xu Zong said that he plans to join the Qingxu Sect, and I have something to do with him."
When Chen Yang heard the name Qingxu Sect at first, he felt familiar. Later, when he thought about it carefully, he remembered that Qingxu Sect was the sect that Qin Xiaoxiao's brother Qin Ming planned to become a disciple of.
If Qin Ming successfully joins the Qingxu Sect, he can help Qin Xiaoxiao find Qin Ming.
Zhong Yao didn't know about Qin Xiaoxiao, but she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she went straight to the disciples of Qingxu Sect and asked about Qin Ming.
After a while, Zhong Yao returned to Chen Yang and sighed: "New disciples who join the sect need to do chores in the outer sect for a year before they can officially join the sect. None of the three senior brothers know them."
"I see, can you trouble Miss Zhong to help me find out about Qin Ming after entering the Qingxu Sect?"
Chen Yang felt that this request was not too much and Zhong Yao could easily fulfill it, so he raised it in front of her.
Zhong Yao agreed wholeheartedly, but she still had some doubts and asked: "If the Qingxu Sect really has such a person, how should the young lady inform Mr. Chen?"
"Well... there is a Thousand Miles Transmission Talisman here. If Miss Zhong finds someone, she can directly activate the Thousand Miles Transmission Talisman and contact me."
Chen Yang handed a thousand-mile transmission note to Zhong Yao.
Zhong Yao happily accepted it and invited Chen Yang to join the Zhong family. She wanted to chat with him more, but Chen Yang refused.
"I still need to find the lost box, so I'll say goodbye."
After Chen Yang finished speaking, he bowed and turned around to leave.
"Daughter, it's time for us to go back."
When Mr. Zhong saw his daughter finished talking to Chen Yang, the two said goodbye. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked to Zhong Yao's side.
