"Song Sisi, don't bother with them, they're just pretending."
So of Song Sisi's friends saw her hesitating and imdiately spoke to her in exasperation.
Did Song Sisi not know what they were saying?
But in the end, Song Sisi sighed lightly and looked at Xiang Zheng and Lv Huan. She couldn't harden her heart and said, "Forget it. We were planning to head back in a few days anyway. Why don't you two join us?"
"Song Sisi, thank you so much. We knew you were a good person."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Zheng and Lv Huan spoke with a hint of surprise.
"Song Sisi..."
Beside her, Song Sisi's friends were a bit angry, wanting to stand up for her. But since Song Sisi said so, they had no choice but to look at Xiang Zheng and Lv Huan with so disdain and displeasure.
Ye Qiu was on the side observing this outco without much reaction.
To Ye Qiu, regardless of how Xiang Zheng and Lv Huan acted, he wouldn't pay them much attention unless they harbored ill intent, such as plotting against Song Sisi. If that happened, Ye Qiu wouldn't hesitate to teach them a lesson himself.
For everything else, he let Song Sisi handle it because they were her friends and connections, and Song Sisi surely had her reasons.
To Ye Qiu, the matter of Xiang Zheng and Lv Huan was just a minor episode.
Later, after escorting everyone back to the villa and settling Song Sisi and the others in, Ye Qiu left for Chen Xing's mansion.
Now it was ti for the real business.
Ye Qiu had acquired the blood of eight of the Ten Great Fengshui Masters, including Bai Lingling and Xi Yuanxing. If Chen Xing's judgnt was correct, this blood might reveal the secret of the Divine Blood Treasure Map and show the full layout of the map.
Wasn't Ye Qiu's confrontation with several Feng Shui Masters all for this purpose?
Therefore, Ye Qiu was eagerly looking forward to handing over this acquired blood to Chen Xing, allowing him to decipher the mystery of the treasure map.
Soon, Ye Qiu arrived at Chen Xing's mansion.
"Younger Brother Ye, you're finally here. Today, your battle against eight Feng Shui Masters is already famous in Hong Kong. You've made quite a na for yourself."
Upon entering, Chen Xing welcod Ye Qiu with a sowhat excited expression and couldn't help but praise him, "Even tead up, the eight Feng Shui Masters are no match for you, Younger Brother Ye. You should be considered Hong Kong's top expert."
"You could say that."
Ye Qiu shrugged, not being modest. With his strength, he truly feared no one in a place like Hong Kong.
"..."
Seeing Ye Qiu's confident admission left Chen Xing sowhat at a loss for words, unsure of how to respond.
Thankfully, Chen Xing was just exchanging pleasantries with Ye Qiu; what followed was the real business.
"Have you acquired the blood of all those Ten Great Fengshui Masters?"
Chen Xing looked at Ye Qiu with anticipation and asked.
"The blood of eight Feng Shui Masters is right here."
Ye Qiu took out several syringes from his bag and placed them on a nearby table, smiling at Chen Xing, "With these, shouldn't we be able to decipher the treasure map and reveal the full landscape?"
"If it's not enough, I can go fetch so more."
After pondering for a mont, Ye Qiu added.
After all, Bai Lingling and Xi Yuanxing weren't dead. Ye Qiu had spared them, and going through this situation, it should be simple to 'borrow' so blood from them if needed, as probably no one would dare refuse him.
Unless, they truly had a death wish.
"It's enough, it's already enough!!!"
Looking at the syringes filled with bright red blood, Chen Xing beca sowhat excited, "There's no ti to waste; let's begin right now, Younger Brother Ye, take the blood and follow ."
With that, Chen Xing led Ye Qiu into a room, retrieved a parchnt treasure map from a secured box, and prepared to decode it.
The thod was simple; the treasure map only needed to absorb the blood from the Ten Great Fengshui Masters.
So, Chen Xing took the syringes and consecutively injected the blood onto the parchnt of the treasure map until all of it was absorbed.
A surprising scene occurred.
When Chen Xing injected the blood from the Ten Great Fengshui Masters onto the treasure map, it seed to co alive, squirming for a mont as it absorbed the blood without leaving a trace.
In exchange, the lines representing the map gradually, slowly grew, revealing its true appearance as the blood was absorbed.
The map absorbed the blood at a slow pace, taking a while to absorb it all.
Finally, Ye Qiu and Chen Xing saw the treasure map's true face.
It was an ancient map unlike conventional modern maps, bearing simple lines to mark Tai Ping Mountain's mountain range with cross-sections and horizontal images of the terrain.
On the map, within Tai Ping Mountain's mountain range, a red line depicted a path, seemingly indicating that following this route would lead to the location of the Secret Realm.
However, this red line was only approximately a third complete, missing crucial lines at the end, leaving it blurry and unclear.
"What's going on? Is the blood insufficient, preventing the remaining part from showing?"
Ye Qiu paused, furrowing his brows as he queried Chen Xing.
If irrelevant parts of the map weren't fully displayed, it wouldn't matter much.
But the map's critical endpoint wasn't shown, akin to being interrupted halfway with his girlfriend, frustratingly leaving things incomplete and uncomfortable.
"No, the blood you provided should have achieved its full effect."
Chen Xing also shook his head while looking at the missing portion, explaining, "The missing piece might only appear with the final lineage among the Ten Great Fengshui Masters, which is Xu Mo's blood."
"It must be Xu Mo's blood?"
Hearing this, Ye Qiu felt a bit troubled.
Including Chen Xing, he had gathered blood from nine Feng Shui Masters, but Xu Mo's was still needed.
The problem was, Xu Mo was dead—dealt with by Ye Qiu himself...
