C388 No money for ye qian (1/2)
Liu Mingmei's bidding became as intense as a raging fire, and her exploration was not lacking either.
Watching Liu Mingmei enter the bidding room, Ye Qian did not linger at Stone Gambling Venue, but instead turned around and brought Xiao Ya out of it.
Holding Ye Qian's hand, Xiao Ya asked curiously: ”Big brother, are we not going to bet rocks today? Why are you out for?”
Ye Qian held Xiao Ya's hand for a while, and then laughed: ”There's no fun betting on stones today, so big brother doesn't need money either. Why don't we just take a good look at this Cuiping Mountain scenery? It's not bad! ”
”Hee hee, alright, whatever big brother says is fine!” Xiao Ya was very obedient, and replied obediently.
Actually, Ye Qian felt a little pity for girls like Xiao Ya as they all lived their lives together, feeling quite helpless.
Ye Qian and Xiao Ya had originally come from the main mountain, so he was not in the mood to watch anymore. He led Xiao Ya to the side of the Cuiping Mountain.
In fact, Cuiping Mountain wasn't a very large mountain. Other than a huge set of Stone Gambling Venue, the other four areas were not very wide.
On the left side of the Stone Gambling Venue was a not very vast bamboo forest, and inside the bamboo forest, there was only the sound of wind, which was nothing special. And on the right side of the Stone Gambling Venue was a piece of barren land, so much so that one could see the end of it. Standing on this piece of barren land, he was able to see very clearly through the blue sky and white clouds.
Xiao Ya pulled Ye Qian and jumped around, pointing to the place where smoke was rising from, she said excitedly: ”Big brother, that is my home, that is my home!”
Cuiping Mountain sat on the west facing east, while Xiao Ya was pointing towards the southwest. It seemed that if one were to jump over this low mountain, they would be able to see the territories of the other realms.
Watching the clouds of smoke rising from within the col quietly, Ye Qian smiled lightly: ”Inside the mountain, the environment is elegant, it is a very good place!”
Xiao Ya giggled: ”Big brother, when our Stone Gambling Assembly is over, can I invite you to my house as a guest?”
”Alright!”
But very quickly, Xiao Ya was a little disappointed: ”But my family is very poor, my Abba is still sick in bed …”
Ye Qian held Xiao Ya's little face and said: ”It's alright, you having such a big brother makes you very happy. It just so happens that big brother will be able to visit your father and have a look at your home! ”
”Yes, yes!” Seeing that Ye Qian did not mind, Xiao Ya nodded his head excitedly.
Holding the little girl's hand, Ye Qian laughed: ”Alright, Xiao Ya, let's go to the back mountain and see if there is anything fun to do there!”
”Alright!”
Xiao Ya immediately let out a hearty laugh before bringing Ye Qian straight to the back mountain of the Cuiping Mountain.
After circling around the location of the stone gambling house in Cuiping Mountain, the rear mountains of the Cuiping Mountain was an open field. At the edge of the cliff at the rear mountain, Ye Qian stood there with Xiao Ya. The bottom of the ravine was tens of meters deep. There wasn't anything strange about the ravine, only a few rocks that were scattered all over the place.
However, this seemingly calm valley gave Ye Qian a trace of ominous feeling.
Gazing far into the distance, Ye Qian suddenly discovered that he could see a trace of blood at the bottom of the valley. The flesh and blood had long since disappeared, leaving behind only the eerie white bones and the scary-looking wolf head.
Ye Qian's heart was in turmoil as he looked towards Xiao Ya and asked, ”Xiao Ya, big brother is asking you this question, are there really no one living at the bottom of the valley?
Xiao Ya thought for a while, then promptly shook her head: ”No. Abba and I have been here many times before. It seems that no one has ever lived here before. Furthermore, even though it was quiet during the day, the night was very scary. There were many jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards roaming about. The last time Abba and I were here, we met Blind Bear. If we didn't run so fast, we would have died a long time ago! ”
Xiao Ya's words made Ye Qian's heart roll uncontrollably, as she beat around the bush.
Since no one resided at the bottom of the Cuiping Mountain, then why would there be such a pitiful dead wolf at the bottom of the valley? This was clearly the scene of him being beaten to death and then being skinned alive to eat flesh!
Just as Ye Qian was sinking into deep thought, an elderly voice suddenly sounded behind him. ”Little friend, the bottom of this Cuiping Mountain is dozens of meters high, don't play around there, quickly come over.
When Ye Qian heard the voice, he immediately pulled Xiao Ya by the hand to turn his head, and then looked at the old man who had suddenly appeared.
The old man looked young, with gray hair and a well-ironed suit. He had a sweet smile on his face. However, his bulging temples revealed his identity. Only an inner sect expert's temple would show such a state.
It was obvious that this elder had sneaked behind Ye Qian and Xiao Ya, only jumping out because he felt that he had been discovered.
Who else but Jadeite King could this old fellow who had suddenly appeared behind Ye Qian and Xiao Ya be?
Maybe Ye Qian was still muttering in his heart, but Xiao Ya recognized him. Actually, being too famous sometimes wasn't a good thing. For example, Xiao Jingyuan, the Yunnan's Patriarch, and all of the Jadeite King's reputation in the world, could be considered to be a public figure that everyone knew.
