Chapter 136: Accidentally Heard Secret
Yan Qianyun frowned slightly, as though he found something strange. After some time, he threw down a banknote and said, “My apologies; I believed I recognized the wrong person.”
After Yan Qianyun and his group left, the second floor bustled again. A kind-hearted cultivator helped Xiao Chen up and said, “Little Brother, are you alright?”
Xiao Chen picked up the banknote and smiled faintly, “I’m fine. Despite being hit for no reason, it is still pretty good to pick up a banknote for a thousand silvers.”
On the third floor, in front of a hidden window, Yan Qianyun watched as Xiao Chen got up. He said, in a manner filled with doubt, “Could I have seen wrong? However, I am sure of those eyes.”
He observed for a long time, but he was unable to discover anything wrong in the end. He shook his head; he felt as though there was something he was missing. He spoke to the person beside him, “There was something wrong with that person earlier. You guys follow him and check it out. I still have some business with Young Master Leng.”
Xiao Chen had been observing Yan Qianyun with his Spiritual Sense. At this moment, he withdrew his Spiritual Sense. He could not help but sigh. It looked like the mental trauma this fellow suffered was too much for him. He already changed his appearance so much, and yet he was still able to recognize him.
Not long later, the cultivators on the second floor all left. Xiao Chen knew Leng Liusu’s and Mu Chengxue’s duel was going to start. This was something these people antic.i.p.ated for a year; there was no reason for them not to go.
Xiao Chen was not in a rush to leave. He did not wish to watch the duel between them. Mu Chengxue gave him a very dangerous feeling, a feeling that he only felt from Chu Chaoyun. As for Leng Liusu, there was no need to speak of it.
After finis.h.i.+ng his food, Xiao Chen casually took a look at the third floor; he revealed a mocking smile. He called the waiter over to pay the bill and leave.
On the third floor, Yan Qianyun’s followers were watching Xiao Chen closely. As the waiter was collecting payment, he happened to block Xiao Chen’s figure. When he collected the payment, cleared the table, and left, the few people watching discovered Xiao Chen was missing.
“Where is he? Where did he go to? I saw him clearly there earlier. How did he disappear after the waiter went over?” Seeing Xiao Chen disappear right under their noses, they panicked and rushed down.
One of them grabbed the waiter’s clothes and shouted, “Where is he? Where did that person from earlier go?”
The waiter rolled his eyes and looked at them in disdain. He said, “Of course, he left after eating and paying!”
“I’m asking how did he leave.”
The waiter pushed his hand away and said, in a bad mood, “I’m only going to say it once; he walked off on his feet. Stop disturbing me; thank you!”
The att.i.tude of the waiter made him anxious. He wanted to make a move on the spot, but the people around him stopped him. They explained Liushang Pavilion’s background to him.
The few of them searched around, but they could not find Xiao Chen. They believed Xiao Chen had left Liushang Pavilion. They thought of Yan Qianyun’s instructions and quickly went down.
Using the Shapes.h.i.+fting Spell, Xiao Chen shrunk himself and hidden under the table. Watching the four men leave, he quickly came out. His bones cracked as he recovered his normal height.
He extended his Spiritual Sense and discovered Yan Qianyun and a black-clothed man seated on the fifth floor. The black-clothed man seemed very strong.
His aura was much stronger than Yan Qianyun, like a treasured sword drawn out of its sheath. Xiao Chen did not dare go too close to him with his Spiritual Sense.
Thinking for a while, Xiao Chen headed directly for the fourth floor. He flashed the VIP card the fatty gave him. No one obstructed his path.
Xiao Chen was surprised the third and fourth floor were void of people. It seemed the duel between Leng Liusu and Mu Chengxue was very attractive.
Xiao Chen arrived at the staircase between the fourth and fifth floor and inspected it carefully. It was only the area leading down to the fourth floor. He took out two Rank 3 talismans from within the Universe Ring and placed them down before smearing them with some Spirit Beast saliva.
This kind of saliva was very sticky. Once it is stuck to something, it would not come off easily. After doing all this, Xiao Chen found a private room on the fourth floor and sat down.
“Brother Leng, is the news this time reliable? Are there only two Martial Saints with Leng Liusu?” Yan Qianyun asked the person across from him with a grave expression.
Xiao Chen frowned, What is he trying to do? Is Yan Qianyun trying to do something to Leng Liusu? With a thought, he focused his Spiritual Sense.
The black-clothed man seated across had a grave and stern expression as he replied,”I, Leng Tianyue, have prepared many years just for this day. Do you think there would be any mistakes?”
Yan Qianyun laughed dryly, “This matter is very important; of course, I have to make sure. However, let me say this first. I am only responsible for sending people to lure away the two Martial Saints. You are responsible for the rest.”
There was no expression on Leng Tianyue face as he said indifferently, “All you have to do is lure them away. There is no need for you to concern yourself with the rest. As for the benefits you obtain after it is done, I have already told your father about them.”
