Chapter 184: Chapter 43 Li Yue’an
Miss Fu Yingying was startled, “More money? How much more?”
After contemplating for a moment, Zhang Xuan said, “How about this, add 100,000 Origin Currency, and if we really encounter danger, I can ensure you remain unharmed!”
No matter what level of strength this Li Yue’an has reached, as long as he hasn’t achieved the Primordial Spirit, it wouldn’t pose much of a problem to him.
Protecting a single person was a minor task for him.
Fu Yingying was somewhat annoyed, “You mean to say I’m only worth 100,000?”
Zhang Xuan shook his head, “You’re not worth that, it’s just to make you cooperate more willingly, that’s why I offered a high price...”
“...”
Fu Yingying was so angry she gritted her teeth, her beautiful eyes glaring at the man before her, wishing she could bite him to death.
She practiced the Fox Charm Destiny. Every move and every word she uttered held enormous allure for the opposite sex. It hadn’t worked the last time, and knowing he was coming this time, she had gone all out with her preparations and charm. Yet, in his eyes, she seemed not even worth 100,000!
She was thoroughly offended.
“Shall we set off directly, or do you need to prepare?”@@@@
Not wanting to waste any more words with him, Zhang Xuan asked.
“Let’s leave now, but... I’ll need to bring two people with me!”
Knowing her powers of seduction were useless, Fu Yingying had no choice but to give up.
Zhang Xuan nodded.
If she dared to go with him, she must have made her preparations. Otherwise, should he kill her and put the blame on Li Yue’an, nobody would say a thing.
After a short wait, an old man and a youth approached together. The elder arrived and bowed with fists clasped towards Fu Yingying, “Miss!”
Fu Yingying introduced them, “Elder Ling, this is my bodyguard Mo Xiaosheng, Mo Lao. He will join us today, and the other is a disciple of Li Yue’an, Fan Xing! Mr. Mo, Fan Xing, this is Fate Master Ling Buyang from the Heaven Mandate Hall.”
Zhang Xuan looked toward the two newly arrived individuals.
The youth’s cultivation level was immediately apparent to him; Six Layers of Viscera within Sixfold of the Source Pool, not too strong but not weak either. The elder, however, was somewhat inscrutable, yet he gave off a sense of pressure, similar to that of Elder Liu!
That meant this elder’s strength had reached at least the secondary level of the Travel Realm in the Primordial Spirit.
No wonder Fu Yingying dared to proceed. With such a bodyguard and her own strength not being weak, she indeed had some capital.
With everyone present, Fu Yingying ceased to speak further. She signaled, jumped into a small boat, and Zhang Xuan followed closely after.
“You are Li Yue’an’s disciple?”
Sitting in the boat, Zhang Xuan looked at Fan Xing curiously, who was not far away.
Fan Xing nodded slightly, apparently not keen on making conversation and looking rather stern.
“Who gave you the audacity to disrespect me?”
Seeing Fan Xing’s attitude, Zhang Xuan’s brows furrowed, and a glint of the saber appeared at his fingertips, stabbing straight out.
Fan Xing was startled and quickly retreated several steps, nearly falling off the boat.
At that moment, Mo Xiaosheng’s spirit stirred, and a power blocked the glint of the saber.
Fu Yingying shook her head, “Mr. Mo has been loyal to me for many years, serving with dedication and effort...”
“True or not, a try will reveal all!”
Zhang Xuan smiled faintly, “Mr. Mo, with your strength, detaching your spirit is quite simple. So, why don’t you use your spirit to explore a bit? Would that be possible?”
“If I detach my spirit, my body will be defenseless. If you strike me down at that moment, wouldn’t I have no chance to resist?” Mo Xiaosheng sneered.
Zhang Xuan replied, “With Miss Fu here, it should be no problem, right? Or do you not even trust your own mistress?”
Fu Yingying nodded, “Mr. Mo, rest assured. With me here, Elder Ling certainly won’t make a move...”
“He won’t make a move, but I will strike you...”
With a slight lift of his eyebrows, Mo Xiaosheng’s fists turned, and he pounded fiercely toward Fu Yingying before him.
The punch was full of strength, tearing the air apart and emitting a boom like thunder, seemingly capable of crushing everything in its way.
Unexpectedly confronted with a direct attack, Fu Yingying’s face instantly turned deathly pale. She wanted to counter but it was too late; she could only muster all the strength within her body, intending to withstand the blow.
At the same moment, her palms moved, and two amulets flew out. They exploded with a “bang!” transforming into a golden air shield.
The defense of the air shield was not bad, but against Mo Xiaosheng’s fist, it still couldn’t withstand and immediately shattered. Just when the Black Market Master couldn’t bear it and was about to get hurt by the punch, a faint voice rang out near her ear, “One hundred thousand Origin Currency, don’t forget...”
The next moment, she saw Ling Buyang, not far from her, already standing in front before she was aware, throwing a punch to meet the one coming at her.
The punch was not only quicker but also carried the sharp glint of a saber, piercing through the dull booming air with ease.
The fists met.
Thud, thud, thud, thud!
Ling Buyang and Mo Xiaosheng both stepped back at the same time, appearing evenly matched with neither able to best the other.
“Mr. Mo, what are you doing?”
Fu Yingying was so angry she was almost exploding.
“Mr. Mo? I just said, he is Li Yue’an!”
Seeing the woman still confused at this point, Zhang Xuan shook his head helplessly.
“I thought I disguised myself well. For so many years, hiding by her side, nobody noticed. How did you see through me?”
Mo Xiaosheng looked over with a face full of disbelief in his eyes.
“You did disguise yourself well, but there were two obvious mistakes. First, your disciple, Fan Xing, dared to go to the black market to find people to assault his own teacher. Should I call him brave or foolish?”
Mo Xiaosheng and Fan Xing looked at each other and found themselves speechless.
Indeed, being in the Viscera Realm was too weak. Such cultivation daring to scheme against a cultivator of the Ninefold of the Source Pool; one misstep and it would be
their own demise.
Zhang Xuan continued, “You primarily practice the Betrayal Destiny, skilled in betraying others to gain strength, so you must be a suspicious person. You would definitely guard against your own disciple... because a disciple’s betrayal can also make them stronger. If I say that Fan Xing can resist such temptation, would you believe it yourself?”
“This... you just deduced my identity from speculation like this?” Mo Xiaosheng furrowed his brow.
“Of course not just this!”
Zhang Xuan continued, “The round trip from here to the black market takes at least four or five hours, so a whole day goes by just like that! With Li Yue’an’s suspicious nature, even if Fan Xing was just buying groceries or gathering supplies, he surely wouldn’t be at ease... Therefore, I concluded that the person must be nearby, and you, from every aspect, seemed the most appropriate!”
