Looking at the girl in red in front of him, Yun Xiao was really confused. Ever since the Yibao Pavilion, this girl seemed to treat him differently, but he was sure that he had never seen her before.
Yun Xiao, who was reincarnated, has always been very cautious. Even though she is a stunning beauty with an all-powerful appearance, beauty is a curse, and a beauty may be even more ruthless when it comes to plotting against others.
Before he understood the other party's purpose, Yun Xiao could not have a deep friendship with him. Even if the other party had spoken to him several times and even made a move, he had paid off these favors with Shenqing Jade.
"You can call me Xiaolan!"
Ignoring Yun Xiao's attitude, the girl in the red dress directly began to introduce herself, and as soon as the name came out, Yun Xiao became even more certain that she had never known this girl before.
"If I guess correctly, you should be going to Lingyun Mountain, right? What a coincidence, my home is nearby, how about we go together?"
Before Yun Xiao could respond, Xiao Lan frowned and said something like this with a half-smile, which made the former's guard escalate again.
"How did you know I was going to Lingyun Mountain?"
Yun Xiao took a step back. The alert look on his face made Xiao Lan laugh a little. This state made Yun Xiao quite embarrassed. Was he too traced?
"What's so hard to guess? As soon as you entered Rising Sun City, you started asking around for the location of Lingyun Mountain, and you didn't know how to avoid suspicion. I accidentally overheard it!"
Xiaolan didn't hide it, and this was indeed true, because Lingyun Sect was located on Lingyun Mountain. Yun Xiao first came to Lingtian Empire, so of course he had to find out more about it.
"So, you started following me at that time?"
However, Yun Xiao still did not relax his guard. This woman had been following him. What was her purpose? Could it be that she was sent by Prince Xuan Yue?
"I'm talking about you. After all, I have helped you a few times. You were polite when you were in Yibao Pavilion. Why are you so suspicious of this and that as soon as you come out?"
As if sensing Yun Xiao's wariness, Xiao Lan's face darkened slightly, and after saying these words, Yun Xiao showed a hint of embarrassment again, secretly thinking that this was actually true.
At least so far, not only has Xiao Lan shown no hostility, but he also came to help Yun Xiao when he was arguing with Qiao Lin and Gong Qizhen. His attitude was too cautious.
However, the purpose of this woman is still a mystery. Yun Xiao is not willing to go with her, but since the other party has said so, it doesn't make sense to just leave.
After pondering for a moment, Yun Xiao clasped his fists and said: "I would like to thank you in advance for your help, but I have never been unwilling to owe others a favor. So, if I say one thing, I will treat it as a favor to you!
"
Although Yunxiao had already sent a divine jade in the Yibao Pavilion, it was only aimed at Xiaolan at that time. As for the previous verbal help, it was not enough in return.
"One thing? What is it?"
Hearing this, Xiaolan was a little confused. Why did it suddenly go so far? She asked in confusion. She was really curious about what the young man in front of her was going to say.
"You should have traded something with the master of the Yibao Pavilion before. If I read it correctly, it was... a fake!"
Yun Xiao's expression was calm, and what he said made Xiao Lan, who had always been calm, suddenly change his expression, as if he had encountered something big.
When Yun Xiao entered Gong Qizhen's room earlier, he happened to encounter Xiao Lan coming out and putting something into his waist in front of him.
Yun Xiao's eyesight, even though it was only a short glance, he could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with that thing, but he did not expect that the girl's reaction would be so big.
Regardless of whether the Xiaolan in front of him is his real name or a pseudonym, just by his temperament and behavior, he is not an ordinary person. According to Yun Xiao, although that thing may be worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins, it is probably not worth being so frightened, right?
"You...what did you say? False?"
Just as Yun Xiao's mind was spinning, Xiao Lan trembled and uttered a trembling sound. Immediately, she touched her waist with her jade hand, and something that looked like a withered vine appeared out of thin air in her jade palm.
It was a three-foot-long foreign object. It looked like a common withered vine in the mountains, but the faint green aura flowing through it made the withered vine look extremely extraordinary.
"Isn't this the 'Yuye Vine'? But I have studied many ancient books about this aura, and it is not fake!"
Xiaolan carefully sensed the aura in the withered vine, but there was a trace of doubt in her eyes. In order to find this jade liquid vine, she studied day and night for a long time, and finally found out about the Yibao Pavilion of Rising Sun City from somewhere.
There might be one, so I hurried here to buy it.
Although Xiaolan is not a high-level pulse refiner, at least this Yuye Vine, she asked herself, will never be wrong, and this thing is of great significance to her. If it is really a fake, then I am afraid that the entire Yibao Pavilion will have to bear it.
Her anger.
"It's true that it's Yuye Vine, but..."
Seemingly sensing Xiaolan's doubts, Yun Xiao shook his head slightly and said, "This Yuye Vine is slightly different from the normal Yuye Vine!"
Without waiting for Xiao Lan to speak, Yun Xiao asked: "If I guessed correctly, you bought this jade liquid vine to sacrifice your life for someone important, right?"
"You...how do you know?"
Xiaolan was startled again, but still nodded: "My mother has been seriously ill for more than a year, and she is close to running out of oil. According to ancient books, the Yuye Vine contains a strong breath of life. If you take its marrow, no matter how severe the illness is,
It will cost you at least half a year!"
The girl's tone was a little sad, thinking that her mother was seriously ill and she was not a pulse refiner, so she could only do something for her mother in this way.
"That's right, the liquid marrow of ordinary Yuye Vine can indeed kill people, but if you use the liquid marrow of this Yuye Vine to take it, I'm afraid it won't take an hour or three for the person who takes it to become poisonous.
Kill!"
Yun Xiao confirmed the guess in his heart and directly expressed his judgment. When he heard his words, Xiaolan's feet softened. That was her biological mother. If it was true as Yun Xiao said, wouldn't she have harmed her mother?
"You said this is poison...poison?"
Xiaolan's face was full of disbelief, but for some reason, after going through the treasure appraisal hall, she admired the vision of the young man in front of her from the bottom of her heart. If this was really the case, it might be true.
"I just said that this is indeed the Yuye Vine, but before it matures, there should be a highly poisonous 'Black Spirit Snake' living next to it. Over the years, the poisonous snake saliva drips on the Yuye Vine.
It has been immersed in it, and ordinary people cannot see it!"
Yun Xiao explained it carefully again, and this time, Xiao Lan looked carefully, and sure enough, he saw that there seemed to be a hint of darkness in the green jade liquid, which he couldn't really tell unless he looked carefully.
"The ordinary people I just talked about do not include treasure appraisers like the master of the Yibao Pavilion. Moreover, Yuye Vine can not only kill people, but if taken, it can also greatly increase people's cultivation. Why do you think that is so?
The master of Gong Qizhen Pavilion, didn’t you take this Jade Liquid Vine yourself?”
With Yunxiao's intelligence, he had already guessed the matter to a close, and he also vaguely guessed that Gong Qizhen might have something to do with him when he handed over the Jade Liquid Vine to Xiaolan.
This was obviously an act of anger. It must have been Xiao Lan who spoke for him in the treasure appraisal hall and angered the master of the treasure appraisal hall. In addition, Xiao Lan bumped into the muzzle of the gun and took the opportunity to trick him. It was actually the master of the treasure appraisal hall.
The nature of adults.
Since this incident happened because of him, Yun Xiao would not stand idly by, otherwise he would not have so much time to meddle in other people's affairs, let alone the lives of others. Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, so why bother?
Why not?
"Damn Gong Qizhen, I have to demolish that exotic treasure pavilion!"
After Yunxiao's explanation, Xiaolan finally understood. She couldn't help but grit her teeth and immediately wanted to cut Gong Qizhen into pieces.
Xiaolan knew that if she hadn't been waiting for Yun Xiao outside the north city gate, she might have given the marrow of the jade vine to her mother, and then she would have poisoned her instead of saving her.
"Yunxiao, thank you!"
Thinking of this, Xiao Lan suppressed the urge to dismantle the Yibao Pavilion immediately and bowed deeply to Yun Xiao to express her gratitude. It might be possible to prevent her mother from being poisoned, which would move her more than saving her own life.
Bar.
"Okay, didn't I tell you, I'm just returning a favor to you, no need to thank you!"
Yun Xiao waved his hand. After this incident, he asked himself that he and this weird Xiao Lan didn't owe anything to each other. From then on, they went their separate ways, keeping in harmony with each other.
"Well, you go first, I have something else to do!"
Xiaolan gritted her teeth, and this time she didn't force herself to go with Yun Xiao, which made the latter stunned for a moment, but in a flash of thought, she understood.
It seems that this girl has a good heart. Judging from her appearance, she should be returning to Rising Sun City to find trouble in the Yibao Pavilion, but she doesn't want to drag Yun Xiao down, so she lets her go first.
"That's it!"
Yun Xiao sighed secretly in his heart, and finally said: "Rising Sun City is the home of Yibao Pavilion. It is very inconvenient to do anything in the city. I have an idea. Do you want to hear it?"
Just when Xiaolan made up her mind to go to the Yibao Pavilion to cause an uproar, Yun Xiao's voice came again, causing her to turn around.
"If we don't take action in the city, can Gong Qizhen still come out on her own?"
Xiao Lan was a little confused, but after she finished asking the question, she saw the boy opposite smiled confidently, and then seemed to have been tapped somewhere on his body, and an invisible breath drifted away towards the city.
"Don't worry, he will definitely follow!"
Yun Xiao smiled slightly, touched a spot of light inside her clothes, turned around and left. Behind her, Xiao Lan pondered for a moment, and finally lifted her heels. She had implicitly gained a little more trust in this young man.
After about a stick of incense, several figures with strong auras suddenly appeared at the north gate of Rising Sun City. The two people in front looked familiar.
