#985 - Chapter 985: Fighting to Get Treasure
“Heh heh heh heh, right, fighting for treasures.”
Zhi Qiuzi was amused by their reaction.
The Xiaoyao Peak disciples entering the Treasure Pavilion for the first time were like country bumpkins, clueless about the world.
“Hehehe, it's all our master's fault, making us cultivate on the mountain all day long. We know very little about the things down here,” Ji Changsheng said with an awkward smile, trying to smooth things over.
“Achhoo!”
Ye Kong, who was tracking people from the eaves, couldn't help but sneeze, making some noise.
Worried that the sound he made would expose him, Ye Kong flashed and遁形from the eaves into the alley behind the five people.
Ye Kong poked his head out and checked the five people again, and found that they didn't seem to notice the sound at all, and were still walking forward.
If the four people around didn't notice it, that would be one thing, but even the Grand Emperor Realm rich man didn't notice it, making Ye Kong even more puzzled. This Grand Emperor Realm was a bit fake.
In order to find out the source of that power and the rich man, Ye Kong continued to track the five people.
“Since it's fighting for treasures, then as long as you win, you don't need to pay spirit stones, right?” Chen Haoran wanted to confirm again.
“Yes, but everyone only has one chance to fight. Win or lose, only one fight, the winner takes all,” Zhi Qiuzi added.
The Xiaoyao Peak disciples found the conditions quite tempting. They only needed to win the fight to take away the treasure.
They looked at each other, and finally tacitly looked at their Eldest Senior Sister, Lin Yaoyao, who was in charge in the absence of Ye Kong.
Lin Yaoyao felt the fiery gazes of her junior brothers and sisters, thought for a moment, and then said.
“Do you want to participate?”
The others nodded frantically.
“Let's go, we're not participating.”
Lin Yaoyao rationally and decisively rejected her junior brothers and sisters, and directly turned around to leave.
Seeing that Lin Yaoyao refused, Bai Wuchen immediately winked at Mu Qianqian, who had the best relationship with Lin Yaoyao on weekdays.
With just a look, without even using spirit power to transmit sound, Mu Qianqian understood.
Mu Qianqian directly rushed forward, grabbed Lin Yaoyao's right arm, and with a force, pulled Lin Yaoyao back.
Lin Yaoyao felt something was wrong.
“Eldest Senior Sister! We finally came down the mountain once. Usually, we're either sent by Master to complete sect missions, or we're called by Master to cultivate. We're guarded on the mountain all day long, but he's having fun. Eldest Senior Sister~ I'm really bored. We finally came to the Treasure Pavilion once, and we happened to catch up with this Treasure Grabbing Competition. Let's participate~”
Mu Qianqian directly hugged Lin Yaoyao's slender arm and pretended to cry.
“Achhoo!” Ye Kong, who was tracking, sneezed again.
Ye Kong began to doubt his body: What's going on? Could it be that I haven't cultivated enough recently, leading to a decline in my body's immunity? No, I have to go back and ask Xiaobai for two packs of spirit tea to brew and drink.
Lin Yaoyao knew that Mu Qianqian was using this trick again, and helplessly rubbed her forehead.
“Master said, we should cause less trouble. And every time we go out to perform tasks, I see you having a lot of fun,”
Lin Yaoyao countered, mercilessly exposing Mu Qianqian.
Being called out by Lin Yaoyao, Mu Qianqian suddenly froze, and slowly let go of Lin Yaoyao's right arm.
“Hehehe, what Eldest Senior Sister said seems to be true.”
Mu Qianqian awkwardly turned her face away and winked at Bai Wuchen, signaling him to go, she couldn't do it anymore.
“That's right, Eldest Senior Sister, don't worry, we won't cause trouble.”
“Eldest Senior Sister, we're very good.”
“We're all very obedient.”
… …
One sentence after another, exhausting Lin Yaoyao and leaving her unable to refute.
“Eldest Senior Sister, let's participate in the Treasure Grabbing Competition.” Everyone said in unison.
“Stop!” Lin Yaoyao stretched out her palm to stop them from speaking.
Everyone immediately closed their mouths, staring at Lin Yaoyao with wide eyes.
“No causing trouble, no making trouble! Leave as soon as the Treasure Grabbing Competition is over.”
Hearing Lin Yaoyao agree, everyone immediately stepped forward.
With a wave of their small hands, spirit stones flashing with blue light appeared from their storage bags.
“Lord, I'm paying the entrance spirit stones.”
Everyone was afraid that Lin Yaoyao would go back on her word, so they immediately paid the spirit stones to Zhi Qiuzi.
“Eldest Senior Sister, I'll pay for your share.”
Bai Wuchen raised his eyebrows proudly.
“Hehe, thank you.”
After Zhi Qiuzi took all the spirit stones into his pocket, he greeted them with a smile.
“Everyone, this way please.”
Zhi Qiuzi made a gesture of invitation, and then led the way, with the people from Xiaoyao Peak following Zhi Qiuzi's steps to the viewing platform on the second floor.
Lin Yaoyao and the others arrived at the viewing platform on the second floor.
“Everyone, this is the best viewing platform in the pavilion. Although it's not big, it's more than enough for you people. Moreover, the location of the viewing platform is excellent. When the Treasure Grabbing Competition starts, the situation on the battle stage will definitely be in full view.”
Zhi Qiuzi vigorously praised the viewing platform.
“Thank you for the Lord's hospitality.” Lin Yaoyao led the others to clasp their fists together to express their gratitude to Zhi Qiuzi.
“You're welcome, you're welcome. As long as you remember my small pavilion in the future, and come visit when you have time, that's fine.”
Zhi Qiuzi promoted the nature of a businessman, seeking small profits but quick turnover.
“Definitely.” Bai Wuchen replied with a smile.
“Then please take a seat, everyone. I'll go down and have people prepare tea and snacks for you to taste. Please wait a moment.”
“Thank you, Lord.”
Zhi Qiuzi left the viewing platform, leaving only the disciples of Xiaoyao Peak.
“Wow, this viewing platform is really good.” Ji Changsheng looked around and exclaimed.
Back then, when I was the Demon Emperor, I stood on the Chongmo Tower and looked down at the country I had conquered. That viewing platform was truly luxurious. Xiaobai barely found this viewing platform acceptable.
“Hey, Fifth Senior Sister, why were you so excited when that Lord said his name just now?” Ye Hongxue asked Mu Qianqian while they had the chance.
“Oh, my father came to this Treasure Pavilion before and told me that this Treasure Pavilion has a Lord with great magical powers, named Zhi Qiuzi.”
“Great magical powers?” Ye Hongxue didn't agree with this statement and was a little suspicious.
When the others heard this, they felt that Mu Qianqian was wrong. Zhi Qiuzi looked honest and had no spiritual energy around him. How could he have great magical powers?
Everyone expressed extreme suspicion towards Mu Qianqian. Seeing that everyone was looking at her in disbelief, Mu Qianqian began to tell the legend of Zhi Qiuzi.
“Zhi Qiuzi's great magical powers are not only in his ability to collect treasures from all over the world here, but also, it is said that this person's cultivation realm is extremely high! He is a reclusive great power.”
“Come on, anyone with eyes can see that the Lord looks honest and is just an ordinary businessman. My divine sense detected that the spiritual energy on his body is very thin.” Bai Wuchen interrupted.
