Chapter 161 (1/2)

The trip back to the inn was short, and they had proceeded withhappened

Still, they did not relax even once up until they were in their rooh of relief once inside

They checked the entire room over, theand door included, for any unwanted presences a second time just to be sure Afterwards, they sat down on the floor in the middle of the room and looked at one another Grins could be seen on both faces

Xue Wei quickly handed over the stuff he had salvaged in his fight to Hei Gou for safekeeping Usually, Xue Wei would carry their valuables, but since he was participating in the tourna it to Hei Gou was the best option

Then he took out a few herbs that he had taken froe treasures and placed thenized three out of five herbs and was surprised

He had read e part of his childhood, but he had no mee can only be considered outstanding in the outskirts of the continent,” he sighed to himself

”Well, ill learn slowly,” Hei Gou said to reassure him ”We can most likely buy a herb compendium at the stores here in the Black Iron Fortress”

”Because you got a storage ring from that Crimson Sunshi+ne Sect's disciple, we should be able to afford it”

Xue Wei nodded his head and fished out the ring from his pocket ”It looks quite ordinary,” Hei Gou added casually after looking at the ring in Xue Wei's hand

It was a silver ring, very simple and plain with no attachments or any jewels attached to it

Xue Wei looked at it fro special about it It did not seeive the

Xue Wei tried to probe it with his spiritual energy, but it bounced back

Usually Xue Wei would have asked Tianyi about help, but currently the sword spirit was busy consu the souls that had died that day at the tourna, Xue Wei was unsure of what to do He had read multiple books, but none of these explained what to do to establish ownershi+p over a storage treasure

In fact, none of thee treasures before He had not known about theer of the Golden Cha

”What do you think I am supposed to do to make it work?” Xue Wei asked, puzzled

”I don't know,” Hei Gou replied, also looking puzzled Both stared thoughtfully at the ring in the middle between them, unable to determine their next action

”This is troubleso I could do,” he continued, but he hesitated at the same time

”I can ask them for help, but I will owe the the Cerulean Starlight Sect for assistance?” Hei Gou could easily guess Xue Wei's train of thought

Currently, he was hostile towards both the Argent Moon Sect and the Cri that the only one left was the Cerulean Starlight Sect

Xue Wei nodded his head He had a pretty good i reached a decision, neither Xue Wei nor Hei Gou hesitated They rose fro away into his robes

Together, the two left the inn, but without any real destination in mind Hoould they find the few people fro for a specific tree in thearound aimlessly Now and then they would ask the experts on the street if they had seen the Cerulean Starlight Sect's nored them

The feho did ansere either clueless, or said that it had been some time since they had last seen the to feel rather let dohen the thought that they had been going in the wrong direction from the start suddenly hit theht Sect were likely to either be in theup at their inn

Since this was the case, the duo started walking fro for the whereabouts of the Cerulean Starlight Sect's members

The first couple of inns answered honestly, inforation, but after walking around for nearly an hour and reaching the largest inn in the fortress, things changed

”Excuse us,” Xue Wei went to the counter as usual and started asking as he had doneif the Cerulean Starlight Sect's er behind the counter narrowed his eyes and said indecisively, ”What if they do? What if they don't?”

His tone of voice was not hostile, but it was not friendly either It was incredibly flat and casual It was clear what he wanted

Xue Wei sighed and took out fifty silver This o thirds of what he had looted from the other experts in the arena, but Xue Wei wanted the valuables within the ring, not these few silvers

Seeing the fifty silver, the eyes of the er instantly lit up ”They do reside within our inn In fact, they are currently present as well Would you likethat a friend and a rival has come to ask for a favor,” Xue Wei said
