The woman walking in the direction of Xiao Chen was wearing an elegant long dress, with a noble temperament, picturesque features, and a white veil on her face, adding a hint of hazy beauty.
Die Qianwu!
I didn't expect to meet her here again.
"Xiao Chen, are you here too?"
The maid Xiaoling is also by Die Qianwu's side. She is much more lively than Die Qianwu, has a simpler mind and doesn't care so much.
"Master Xiao, do you mind if I sit here?" Die Qianwu asked softly.
Xiao Chen raised his head and glanced at her.
To be honest, he really didn't want to see this woman, but after all, he didn't have any deep hatred and couldn't find any reason to refuse her at the moment.
Die Qianwu took it as Xiao Chen agreed and sat down with Xiaoling.
"Fairy Die Die, I have admired you for a long time, but when I saw you today, you are truly extraordinary!" Yue Jiu greeted Die Qianwu.
"Master Jiu, you're welcome!"
Die Qianwu nodded slightly in return.
Her attention was mainly on Xiao Chen.
"Master Xiao, are you here to wish the old village owner a birthday today?" Die Qianwu asked.
"No, I have something to do with him!" Xiao Chen replied casually.
Die Qianwu could clearly feel the indifference and unfamiliarity in Xiao Chen's tone, and felt inexplicably a little sad in her heart.
However, no matter what, she wanted to ask that question clearly.
"Master Xiao, please forgive Qian Wu for having the courage to ask, how do you know about "The Divine Phoenix Judgment"?"
That day at the Liang family, Xiao Chen revealed the secret of her cultivation technique, which made her always worried and full of doubts.
Shenhuang Jue is an inherited skill of the Die family, and the elders in the clan often tell her not to reveal the skill until critical moments.
"You have too many questions!" Xiao Chen shook his head and did not want to answer.
Die Qianwu was stunned and said: "Sorry!"
Xiaoling saw that something was wrong, so she quickly smoothed things over, changed the subject and asked: "Xiao Chen, why didn't you go to the appointment at Zuixian Tower a week ago?"
In Zuixian Tower, Shen Yixian made an appointment with Xiao Chen, which attracted the attention of many martial artists in the martial arts world. At that time, she also followed Die Qianwu to the scene.
However, Xiao Chen let everyone go and did not show up.
"The so-called fight was only unilaterally made by Shen Yixian, and I did not agree." Xiao Chen was not so repulsive to Xiaoling.
"So that's it? Why is Shen Yixian like this? He didn't even inform anyone and just said he would compete with you?"
Xiaoling puffed up her face with anger, thinking that what Shen Yixian did was too unfair.
But soon, she asked again, "Don't you usually pay attention to the news in the ancient martial arts world? Such a big thing, after ten days of fermentation, has long been spread. Even if no one informed you, you should be able to hear it.
ah?"
"So what if I hear that? I'm not interested in competing with Shen Yixian!" Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Why?" Xiaoling asked doubtfully, "Since you have such strong strength, why don't you prove yourself? If you defeat Shen Yixian, it will be enough to become famous in one fell swoop."
"Am I not famous now?"
"If that's not enough, you can go to the top five, or even the top three, of the most popular rankings. Geniuses are earned by fighting for them. Look at how active Shen Yixian is, looking for people to compete with him everywhere!"
When Xiao Chen heard this, he shook his head speechlessly.
He and Xiaoling are not thinking on the same level, so talking about it is useless.
At this moment, his expression suddenly changed, and his eyes fell on a man on the right side of the lobby.
"This kind of breath is..."
…
Since the two people took the lead earlier, a temporary trade fair was held in the lobby.
Many people exchanged secret books, swords, magic weapons, or elixirs, or even sold them directly for real money and silver.
At this time, a man stood up with a box in his hand.
The box was opened and six small light blue stones were placed inside.
"I, Yuan Chong, accidentally obtained these six strange stones. Although I don't know their specific uses, I am sure that they are of extraordinary value. I am taking this opportunity today to exchange them for a suitable ancient martial arts. Is there any Taoist friends who are willing to exchange them?
"
As soon as Yuan Chong finished speaking, several contemptuous taunts came from the scene.
"You just want to exchange a few rotten stones for ancient martial arts skills. Are you dreaming?"
The blue stones in the box are indeed beautiful and unique, but what's the use of just looking good?
Nowadays, martial arts is gradually declining. Any ancient martial arts technique is very cherished. It is most likely the inheritance of an ancient martial arts family. Who would easily exchange it for a few stones?
"Everyone, this is no ordinary stone!" Yuan Chong explained.
"So what if it's a gem? People buy tens of millions of dollars for an ancient martial arts book. How much is your stone worth?"
"It's just that you can't tell the purpose of this stone, and you still swear that it's not an ordinary stone. Who are you deceiving?"
"Are we fools? Sit down quickly and let others trade!"
Seeing more and more people criticizing him, Yuan Chong sighed helplessly and prepared to sit down.
"Wait, I'll switch with you!"
Xiao Chen stood up and walked to Yuan Chong.
Yue Jiu, Die Qianwu, and Xiaoling looked at each other and felt weird, but didn't say anything.
Xiao Chen took a fancy to this stone, so it must be no ordinary stone.
"Brother, I advise you to think twice and don't suffer the consequences of being dumb!" A kind person stood up and advised him.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you suffer this loss a few more times!" Xiao Chen said calmly.
"Uh... Okay, that's up to you!" The man sighed and shook his head, thinking that Xiao Chen didn't understand good people.
"Isn't this guy a fool?" someone sneered.
"Others are willing to suffer, so why should we worry so blindly?"
"Right!"
Yuan Chong, who was originally disappointed, was a little excited at this moment. He looked at Xiao Chen and asked: "Master, do you want to exchange?"
"Um!"
Xiao Chen nodded and glanced at the six stones in the box.
Spiritual stone!
He never imagined that he could encounter a spiritual stone of good quality here.
When it comes to martial arts techniques, he has countless in mind, so he can just pick one out and exchange it.
But spiritual stones, in this environment on earth, are hard to come by.
"Okay, okay!"
Yuan Chong was excited and prepared to hand the box to Xiao Chen.
However, he soon asked hesitantly, "Master, where are your skills?"
"I didn't bring it with me. If you can trust me, I will give it to you after the birthday party is over!"
Xiao Chen's skills are all in his mind. Of course, he won't be able to take them out for a while, so he can only make a jade slip or something afterwards.
But as soon as he said these words, the scene immediately burst into laughter.
"Haha... I asked how could there be such a stupid person, but it turned out that he was just trying to get away with nothing, which made me laugh so hard!"
“What a weird thing!”
"Brother, you are so interesting!" The person who persuaded Xiao Chen earlier gave Xiao Chen a thumbs up.
Yuan Chong's expression was also a bit ugly, Xiao Chen was clearly enjoying playing tricks on him.
However, he did not get angry immediately. After thinking about it for a while, he asked: "Sir, you just said it so casually. It's hard for me to believe you. At the very least, you have to identify yourself first."
The status of anyone who can enter this banquet cannot be underestimated.
Yuan Chong thought that if Xiao Chen had a big background and the family power behind him was very prestigious, he would not default on his debt.
When Xiao Chen heard this, he felt that there was nothing to hide, so he said casually: "My name is Xiao Chen!"
Four words, like thunder piercing my ears.
In an instant, everyone's laughter froze and the lobby became extremely quiet.
