Chapter 1408: Seeing Ye Xiaoxiao Again (2/2)

After receiving the message, Li Qiye turned silent as his eyes glazed over while staring into the distance. He eventually murmured: “The inevitable will come, no one can escape.” With that, he began his journey once more.

His destination was the Divine Tree Ridge. However, his goal was not for treasures this time, he was only going to observe. Step by step, he walked towards the ridge as if he needed to walk across the entire continent first.

Unfortunately for him, he didn’t get far before becoming the victim of a robbery. In fact, this was a very strange event. In the cultivation world, robbery was quite rare. It was even more incredible when it took place near the Divine Tree Ridge.

Everyone knew that the G.o.dhalt Continent was spa.r.s.ely populated. Finding a fat sheep to rob along the way had a lower probability than randomly finding gold on the street.

Only an idiot would carry out this operation at G.o.dhalt. Alas, there was indeed such a stupid person in this world.

“Bang!” In front of his path, a figure suddenly jumped down from a tree and blocked him.

It was a tall treant with branches growing from its body. On the main trunk were two huge eyes that looked like they belonged on an ox.

“I opened this road and planted the trees here. If you want to pa.s.s, you must pay the toll!” The treant shouted with the cliche line of a common robber.

After saying these lines, it looked at Li Qiye and said: “Li… you, hand the fee over!”

Li Qiye smiled and looked at the treant from top to bottom.

“You... hurry up and leave your money behind.” The treant shouted again since Li Qiye didn’t answer.

He continued smiling as he said: “Okay little girl, don't try to trick me.”

“Little girl? What little girl?!” The treant looked at him in a daze with a confused expression.

“Little Ye Xiaoxiao, you may be hiding your true form, but it can’t fool my eyes.” Li Qiye shook his head.

“Hmph, you’re not fun at all!” The treant snorted and shook its body to transform. It was the young lady from the Golden Isle, Ye Xiaoxiao!

Li Qiye didn’t know what to say to this fourteen-year-old girl.

“Hey, how did you see through me? It can’t be a wild guess, right? I robbed some cultivators already and they couldn’t recognize me.” She was very unhappy with him, evident by her glare.

Li Qiye chuckled in response: “Nothing in this world can elude my eyes.”

“Ugh, so narcissistic and shameless, always bragging. In my opinion, you were definitely guessing, my concealment art is peerless in this world, no one can see through it.” She had a disdainful look on her face.

He leisurely smiled and said: “It’s good that you are here, it will save me a lot of effort.”

In fact, he planned on bringing her to G.o.dhalt eventually, but it wasn’t a pressing matter. Therefore, her being here already couldn’t be more convenient.
