Xiao Jian didn't think much and handed over the smoking pipe in his hand.
Just as Qin Yi was about to reach out and take it, Yun ngyao grabbed his wrist and said to Xiao Jian, "Uncle Xiao, if this thing gets into Qin Yi's hands, it will be gone. I know him too well; he doesn't really like smoking this stuff, he's interested in the value of your smoking pipe."
Xiao Jian was taken aback and looked at Qin Yi.
Qin Yi was full of embarrassnt, glared at Yun ngyao, and then said to Xiao Jian with a smile, "Don't listen to this woman talk nonsense, this lady is definitely not a good person. Look at my righteous face; how could I be the kind of person she says I am?"
Yun ngyao sneered and said, "Don't you feel guilty? Cheating even old n's things. Wasn't it just that you caught his two chopsticks? Do you have to be so petty? Can't there be soone with higher cultivation than you in the world?"
Qin Yi awkwardly wanted to find a hole to crawl into; this girl was truly a master at blowing his cover.
Yun ngyao said to Xiao Jian, "Uncle Xiao, you'd better keep the smoking pipe safe, if it gets into Qin Yi's hand, it will be gone. I'm telling you, this guy is petty and vengeful; if soone makes him unhappy, he'll make that person uncomfortable for life."
Xiao Jian looked at Qin Yi bewildered, no matter how he looked, Qin Yi didn't seem like that kind of person.
Jing Wuyan and others had strange expressions; after these two days of interaction, they were more inclined to believe Yun ngyao.
Qin Yi glared fiercely at Yun ngyao.
Yun ngyao glared back without backing down.
The two of them stared at each other, neither willing to admit defeat.
Suddenly, Xiao Jian laughed, seeming to understand, "Ah, youth is wonderful."
Qin Yi and Yun ngyao looked at him and found Xiao Jian's eyes were ambiguous.
Yun ngyao suddenly understood, "Uncle Xiao, don't get the wrong idea, he and I are not that kind of relationship."
"Then what kind of relationship?"
Yun ngyao: "..."
"We are friends."
"Hahaha..." Xiao Jian laughed heartily, "I understand, Uncle Xiao understands, who hasn't been young before. Back in my days..."
"Uncle Xiao, are you hungry? Have sothing to eat." Jing Wuyan quickly interrupted Xiao Jian, knowing that once Uncle Xiao started talking about his younger days, it could go on for hours.
"I'm not hungry." Xiao Jian, distracted by the subject change, casually said, "Young master, how many people do you have?"
Jing Wuyan paused, then said, "I have about thirty people, all are experts at the Divine Separation Stage and above."
Xiao Jian frowned, "Thirty people, and you dare to go head-to-head with the Sword Sect? I advise you to go ho quickly; this is like hitting a stone with an egg."
Jing Wuyan smiled, "Originally I wasn't confident, but with Brother Qin here, now I'm full of confidence. And isn't Uncle Xiao here too? My confidence has doubled."
"Are you kidding?" Xiao Jian's expression beca serious, "Do you not know that out of the Nine-story Sin Tower in Sin City, four are occupied by the Sword Sect?"
Jing Wuyan was shocked; he really didn't know this.
Qin Yi curiously asked, "Are the people inside the Sin Tower very strong?"
Jing Wuyan nodded slightly, "Very strong, they are all experts similar to Uncle Xiao."
Qin Yi was slightly shocked.
Xiao Jian said, "What do you an similar to ? Each one of them is stronger than ."
Qin Yi looked at him in surprise.
Xiao Jian said, "Actually, I ca out of the Sin Tower."
"What?" Yun ngyao was shocked.
"The Sin Tower is the last barrier of Sin City. Whoever controls the Sin Tower essentially controls the passage route between the Southern and Northern Continents. The Sin Tower has always been a territory contested by the Sword Sect and our Netherworld Hall. Think about it, if the Sword Sect controls the Nine-story Sin Tower and launches a surprise attack, we wouldn't even have ti to react."
Xiao Jian paused and then said, "Fortunately, the Sin Tower belongs to Sin City. Over the years, neither the Sword Sect nor the Netherworld Hall has completely mastered it. The Sword Sect has made every effort, and now they occupy four floors of the Nine-story Sin Tower, which ans they have half of the Sin Tower. This is not good news for the Netherworld Hall."
Qin Yi didn't really understand this, but he could imagine. The Sin Tower was like a fortress in a battle between two armies, like the Great Wall; whoever controls it holds the advantage.
"Uncle Jian, can I ask, how many in the Nine-story Sin Tower belong to the Netherworld Hall?"
Xiao Jian chuckled a few tis, "This isn't a secret; there's no harm in saying. We originally had three people, but now there are only two left. The reason I said that everyone in the Nine-story Sin Tower is stronger than is because I was guarding the first floor at the beginning, but then the Sword Sect ca and challenged , and I lost, so I had to withdraw from the Sin Tower."
Qin Yi was shocked; he didn't expect soone with Xiao Jian's cultivation to be unable to defend even the first floor. It seems that the cultivation of each Tower Master in the Nine-story Sin Tower increases layer by layer.
Everyone fell into silence.
Jing Wuyan was full of guilt, "Brother Qin, I'm really sorry; I really didn't know the cultivation of those inside the Nine-story Sin Tower was so strong."
However, Yun ngyao noticed a problem and asked, "If the people inside the Nine-story Sin Tower are so highly cultivated, you can only pass through Sin City by defeating them. With your cultivation, how did you co to the Southern Middle State?"
Qin Yi also looked at Jing Wuyan, having thought of the sa question. Even Xiao Jian was defeated and withdrew from the Nine-story Sin Tower. With Jing Wuyan's cultivation, it was impossible for him to co to the Southern Middle State.
Jing Wuyan's face turned unnatural, he glanced at Xiao Jian, quickly lowered his head, like a child who made a mistake.
Xiao Jian shook his head helplessly, "Go ahead, you've already done it, there's nothing to be embarrassed about."
Jing Wuyan raised his head, looked at Qin Yi, and said awkwardly, "I spent so money."
Qin Yi was dumbfounded, "You can pay to pass this?"
Jing Wuyan looked confused, "What's pay to pass?"
"It ans spending money." Yun ngyao said.
Jing Wuyan nodded.
Xiao Jian snorted, "You spent just a small amount of money?"
Jing Wuyan kept his head down and didn't speak.
Yun ngyao curiously asked, "I want to know, how much does one person have to spend?"
Jing Wuyan said in a low voice, "Each person a million gold coins, plus a thousand top-quality Earth Spirit Stones."
Qin Yi and Yun ngyao's mouths dropped open.
Qin Yi said in shock, "You just said you have more than thirty people, each a million gold coins..."
"Those people were recruited by in the Southern Middle State, individuals oppressed by the Sword Sect. Only Mo Xiao and four others I brought from the Northern Central State." Jing Wuyan interrupted Qin Yi, embarrassed and speaking in a low voice.
Qin Yi opened his mouth, "That's still five million gold coins, five thousand top-quality Earth Spirit Stones. Even second-rate forces can't afford that much."
Xiao Jian glanced at the disheartened Jing Wuyan, helplessly said to Qin Yi, "He sold the city bestowed to him by the Hall Master at a cheap price."
Qin Yi and Yun ngyao were full of shock and looked at each other. Selling a city, it's the first ti they've heard of it. Truly, everything in this world has a price.
