"What?" Yue Qinghuan was taken aback.
"Nothing, let’s go, find a place to stay first!" Xue An said calmly, then turned to leave.
Watching Xue An’s back, Yue Qinghuan’s face was full of doubt.
It shouldn’t be!
In her impression, Xue An was not someone with such a pushover temperament!
By mon logic, that yellow-faced man should have been dead when he asked for a higher price the second time.
But not only did Xue An not deal with him, but he obediently handed over the Spirit Crystal, which really was hard to explain.
Could it be he had other plans?
Yue Qinghuan couldn’t figure it out, and had no choice but to follow along.
As a city naturally formed due to Godfall Valley, perhaps the most abundant thing here is inns.
There are all kinds of inns available, and the two found one to stay in without much care.
Of course, there were no overly dramatic events like the inn having only one room available, asking if the two would mind squeezing in together.
"Rest early!" Facing Yue Qinghuan, who seemed to want to say more during dinner, Xue An spoke this way.
When the night grew deep and the entire inn had quieted down, Xue An suddenly opened his eyes, then opened the window and silently snuck into the night.
At this moment, the city below was gradually falling asleep, only far away were there glimmers of light.
Xue An moved like a deity roaming the night, quietly sweeping across the sky, heading straight for a corner.
Just as he left the inn, in another guestroom, Yue Qinghuan also quietly sat up, a pair of light purple eyes shining brightly in the dark.
"Xue An, you indeed have other plans!" Yue Qinghuan murmured softly.
Just as Yue Qinghuan said, Xue An indeed had other plans.
Because he wanted to know who exactly had sealed off Godfall Valley.
The so-called Azure Dragon Gang was clearly just a guise, there must be something hidden behind it.
With this thought, during the earlier transaction, Xue An left a trace of his aura within the Spirit Crystal, meant to track where this yellow-faced man would go later.
Though the city isn’t large, in a blink, Xue An arrived at the location marked by the trace.
It was a very inconspicuous small building, its façade old and worn out.
At the moment, the second floor illuminated by lights, faint voices of conversation could be heard from inside.
Xue An concealed his presence, quietly approached the small building.
"How’s today’s yield?" a man asked.
"Reporting to the Great Administrator, today’s yield was good, tickets have been sold up to a month later!" someone replied cheerfully.
"Hmm! Well done, remember to strictly control the number of people entering Godfall Valley each day. After all, scarcity increases value; when anything bees too abundant, others won’t appreciate it!"
"Yes!"
And then, this group began chatting idly.
"Hehe, I sold one ticket for three days later at a high price today, started by asking for a hundred Spirit Crystals, that young woman plained unwillingly, so I immediately raised it to two hundred Spirit Crystals, and now they’ve all quieted down!"
The speaker was precisely that yellow-faced man.
Others around started chiming in, "Oh? That young woman? How does she look?"
"Hey, just about to tell you guys, that young woman looks so delicate as if you could squeeze water out of her with one hand, and she was with that useless guy, I asked for three hundred Spirit Crystals, he didn’t even dare utter a fart, and just handed it over!"
"Tsk tsk, in that case, shouldn’t we pay a visit to find this young woman? After all, on a long night, we need some fun, right?" someone snickered sinisterly.
The room burst into laughter.
For this group, any topic involving women always ended up indecent.
But just as they were enjoying themselves, a sigh suddenly came from outside the window.
"Heaven-made sins can be undone, self-made sins cannot live!"
"Who is it?" the people in the room jolted in shock, yelled sharply.
Someone promptly snuffed out the candle in the room.
But at that moment, there was a loud boom, and the window along with the nearby wall collapsed, smoke mixed with starlight rushed into the room, causing all of them to back away in fear.
But this bunch truly were wickedly dangerous thugs, faced with the sudden change, only stunned for a brief moment, then they all launched an attack toward the smoke synchronously.
Although their power wasn’t much, the bined strike was tremendously formidable.
But the smoke seemed like a beast devouring everything, no matter how strong the attack entered, it vanished without a trace.
"Who exactly are you? Why e to cause trouble at our Azure Dragon Gang?" the Great Administrator shouted loudly.
No one answered, only the dust slowly settled.
Some instinctively swallowed hard, fear manifesting on their faces.
Meanwhile, footsteps pierced into everyone’s ears, also hitting their hearts.
And when the figure appeared in front of everyone, the yellow-faced man yelled in surprise.
"It’s him!"
He then trembled all over, "He... he’s the man I saw today!"
But no one replied to his words, as all attention was drawn to Xue An.
The reason was simple.
At this moment, Xue An was just too dazzling.
Dressed in white, he seemed exceptionally striking in the starlight, making his cold eyes more captivating.
"Is everyone here?" Xue An looked around the room, spoke calmly.
The Great Administrator felt chills down his spine, bravely stepped forward, cupped his fists.
"Friend, I think there might be some misunderstanding between us, you..."
"I only have two questions, answer them now!" Xue An interrupted him directly.
"First, are all of you members of the Azure Dragon Gang?"
Everyone nodded tremblingly.
"Very well, then secondly, where is your Gang Leader?" Xue An asked coldly.
No one answered.
Xue An laughed.
The smile was extraordinarily mysterious in the starlight.
"Don’t want to talk? Or don’t dare to talk?"
The Great Administrator hesitated silently.
But just then, a sword light like a beam suddenly illuminated the entire room.
Thud thud thud!
After several muffled sounds, heads rolled, blood flowed.
Those dead were the few who spoke insolently earlier.
In the blink of an eye, only the yellow-faced man and the Great Administrator were left.
Then Xue An said calmly, "I’ll ask once more, where is your Gang Leader now?"
Almost as the words fell, the yellow-faced man pletely broke down, directly knelt to the ground.
"Mercy, my lord, mercy, our Gang Leader is not in the city; he’s always been in Godfall Valley!"
"Oh? In Godfall Valley?" Xue An’s eyes slightly moved.
"Yes!"
Then Xue An turned to the trembling Great Administrator.
