However, he reckoned that the identities of these three people were not that simple. After all, the so-called treasure hunters, according to common sense, should at least be local people who were familiar with the way of cultivation. Three foreigners, moreover, they were very eye-catching Chinese people.

He thought of the old man who had asked him to meet them. Would they know about the affairs of the city and want to find a way to deal with him? This old man did indeed have some skill. Just from his name alone, he was actually called 'Killings', and he didn't mind being unlucky.

It was late when they got back to Maud's house, and Maud asked the servants to prepare some supper, which they talked about as they ate.

Yao, who didn't understand English, had to visit Maud's family's collection to pass the time. After the conversation, Maud had wanted to invite them to stay the night, but after some discussion with everyone, he decided to return to the hotel to spend the night.

When they got back to the city, he told everyone about the outcome of the negotiations with Maud, who, of course, was willing to cooperate with him, but only to give them the first clue: he wanted the men to go south, to a place called Tnushgodi, where they would wait for further news.

”What's wrong with this old fellow's stomach?” Why do you want us to go there? This is no different from not revealing anything at all. And what if this is a trap? ” Yao Yun was extremely dissatisfied with this result.

But Jensa told him, ”I understand Maud, he is calculating and greedy, but he has one good thing, he keeps his word, he can't hope for anything he doesn't promise, but he can't go back on his word. I guess. He is afraid that we will not be able to beat that Li Yesheng, pisses off his partners, and cause unnecessary trouble. Also, he is afraid that we will plot against him, so he will not tell us all the information in one go, and will only tell us a little about it when he is able to control the situation. ”

After having a discussion with Ashley, Yao Yun had no other choice but to agree to go to the rendezvous place first.

He told them that he would be resting in Bangalore the next day, waiting for Maud to make some arrangements, and then the next morning they would set out for Tenuschgodi.

This arrangement was exactly what Yao Yun wanted. He told Ashley and Wuji that he was going to meet that mysterious treasure hunter Chen Sha Sheng tomorrow.

The next day, seeing that there were no other arrangements, Yao Yun went to say goodbye to her companions and brought Wei Wuji to meet Chen Changsheng. Before he went, he first called the other party. Coincidentally, the two hotels were not far from each other. Chen Sha was afraid that Lu Li wouldn't know where he was going, so he asked Lu Li to wait in the lobby of his hotel. He brought his two disciples to meet up with him.

Chen Chusheng didn't ask Yao Yun to wait for too long. Soon enough, he brought his two disciples to the hotel where Yao Ling was staying.

He first made an introduction. His tall, powerful, bearded male disciple was called Chen Xiaohua, and the girl who was good at using poison was called Wang Xiaosi. They were both orphans he had adopted since childhood.

Upon hearing the name he gave his disciple, Yao Yun felt it was quite funny. She thought to herself, ”Just because of this name, this old man is really not an ordinary person. I really shouldn't look down on him.”

Wang Xiaosi bought some fried snacks wrapped in leaves and sprinkled with curry sauce from a stall on the street outside. She suddenly handed them over to Yao Ling and Wei Wuji with a smile.

Wei Wuji had always suspected that this woman was a poison horse used to poisoning people. When he saw her hand him food, his face changed color and he quickly waved his hand to refuse.

The reason why these poisonous horses who lived in the Himalayas were viewed with such hatred by outsiders was not only because their poison techniques were difficult to guard against, but also because the poison was so strong that there was no cure for it. Once the poisonous horses were taken in, the rich families of the village would suddenly die. Some passing merchants would often stay at the poisonous horses' houses to find lodging, but that was because the poisonous horses believed that once those lucky people were killed, good fortune would come to them. Furthermore, it was said that their craftsmanship when making poison was passed on to their daughter by their mother, never to anyone else or to any of the male family members. Once they learned how to make poison horses, they had to poison people every once in a while, otherwise the poison would eat them back.

When Wang Xiaoshan saw the look on his face, he glared angrily at Wuji as if he wanted nothing more than to stab him to death.

Yao Ling suddenly reached over and took two fried triangles from the leaves held in Wang Xiaosi's hands. She dipped them in curry sauce and stuffed them into her mouth to eat. When Wang Xiaosi saw Yao Yun's actions, his anger turned into joy. He smiled and placed the remaining fried triangles flat on the table, indicating for everyone to enjoy them.

It was impossible for him to be poisoned for no reason at all. Moreover, with the help of the poison removal skill he had practiced and the secret medicine he had learned, it was likely that he would be able to suppress the poisonous horse as well. Therefore, he took a small risk to gain Chen Chou's goodwill and trust.

Sure enough, Chen Sha Sheng nodded his head in approval and said to Yao Ling, ”Mister Yao San is indeed a courageous man. I, Old Chen, have not misjudged him. It seems that my trip here was not in vain.”

Yao Ling curiously asked, ”You know about me?”

Chen Changsheng laughed and said, ”Of course, although I haven't returned to the mainland for 20 years, I still have a lot of friends there. It's not a problem to ask around for information.” I know about your matters, and I have long heard about the matter of the besieging camp. It's quite impressive, I didn't expect the two of you to be descendants of the besieging camp. Besides, we've met before, it's just that you didn't know. In that fair, remember? I was there when you used the duck saliva method to reduce the swelling on that child. ”
