Ah!
Not only Ye Lingyue, even Feng Xun was astonished.
This seemingly aloof and cool man, from his words, chose to voluntarily hand over the Four-direction Boat as long as Ye Lingyue could afford the compensation.
This made Ye Lingyue even more certain, the person in front of her was no ordinary person.
Her small face instantly bead like a blossom, her New Moon Eyes shone brightly.
She loved dealing with people who valued money over dignity.
"Compensation can be negotiated, may I ask this brother’s esteed na? I am Hei Yue, and this is my companion Feng Xun."
The man’s lips slightly pursed, as if contemplating whether to reveal his identity or not.
His gaze lingered on Ye Lingyue’s bright little face for a mont, then with a curl of his lips, he uttered a word.
"Su."
"Tree? Brother Tree, truly a na fits its owner." Just like a wooden statue, answers only when asked.
Ye Lingyue complained inwardly.
"The ’Su’ that stays over at Feng Bridge at night."
Extrely precious, the man added a few more words.
If his fellow sect mbers saw this, they would probably be in tears, heaven knows, this Lord, in the past month, the words he spoke altogether were probably not as many as today.
"So it’s Brother Su, may I know what compensation you desire? Are you here to participate in the World’s First Refining too?"
Ye Lingyue glanced at Brother Su’s Four-direction Boat and noticed that it was much more spacious and sturdy than the one they had earlier, and couldn’t help but scorn about the preferential treatnt in Sifang City.
Su remained silent, his gaze sweeping around and finally resting back on Ye Lingyue.
Seeing that he didn’t speak, Ye Lingyue simply began to inquire.
"How about ten thousand taels of gold?"
No response.
Alright, Ye Lingyue admitted, this Brother Su, although dressed inconspicuously, had an air that didn’t seem like he was in need of money.
"Or perhaps an elixir pill, I have a Beauty Pill that even ordinary people can use."
Still no response.
Right, with his looks, no pill could make him any more beautiful.
"Or perhaps a Spiritual Artifact? Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures?"
Forget it, he is an ordinary person, these things, he can’t use them.
Ye Lingyue was getting desperate, had she known before, she would have just robbed it.
"I want your..."
Brother Su suddenly spoke.
Before he could finish, a sudden uproar was heard, it was the Corrosive Soul Chain that could no longer hold, and suddenly collapsed.
Feng Xun’s body fell straight down, Ye Lingyue cried out in alarm, no longer waiting for the man’s answer, she swooped down in a long stride and "rescued" Feng Xun, both of them landing squarely atop the Four-direction Boat.
The not-so-spacious Four-direction Boat, now with an extra person, seed a bit cramped, the hull sinking into the quicksand, as if it might capsize at any mont.
Once sure Feng Xun was alright, Ye Lingyue’s face was sowhat pale, anxiously looking at Feng Xun.
But she didn’t notice, in that mont, the exchange of looks between Brother Su and Feng Xun, both expressions filled with the glint of knives and swords, exuding a killing aura.
"I’m sorry, Brother Su, what did you say just now?"
Ye Lingyue just rembered, there was another person on the Four-direction Boat.
"No way!"
It was Feng Xun who vehently pulled Ye Lingyue into his arms, using his tall figure to block Brother Su’s gaze.
Brother Su’s narrow eyes lifted slightly.
"I want the Sand Ant Egg on your body."
Clearly Feng Xun breathed a sigh of relief, but his arms still dominantly encircled Ye Lingyue’s waist, his Phoenix Eyes staring at Brother Su.
Ye Lingyue thought she had heard wrong. He wanted the Sand Ant Eggs from her body?
Was the purpose of this purple-clothed brother coming to Sifang City to find Sand Ant Eggs?
The Sand Ants of Rift Valley Sand River only thrive in this region, and it was initially easy to find them. However, last night’s act by Ye Lingyue and Feng Xun had rendered them extinct in this area.
The only survivor was the nest of insect eggs that Ye Lingyue impulsively collected.
Inside that nest, there were at least a thousand eggs.
However, Ye Lingyue soon realized another problem. How did Su know that she had Sand Ant Eggs?
She had temporarily placed the nest inside her Life Purple Gold Bag, which was supposed to block Divine Sense searches; by all accounts, no one should have been able to detect it.
Thinking of this, Ye Lingyue beca even more curious about Su’s identity.
"I do have Sand Ant Eggs, but I need to know what you want to use them for."
Though Sand Ants are lower Fierce Beasts, if used improperly, especially if they end up among civilians, with their remarkable breeding capability, they could instigate an ant disaster within days, capable of destroying a nation.
"Eat."
Su was still sparing with words.
"What?"
Ye Lingyue thought she had heard wrong again; this man, who looked more like a Banished Immortal, said he wanted to eat the insect eggs.
Just imagining that scene made Ye Lingyue shudder.
"Feed the bird, eat."
Su himself didn’t understand why he was explaining so much to this baby-like junior.
It might be because it had been a very long ti since he encountered soone so unabashed and expressive, and inexplicably, he did not like being misunderstood.
Ye Lingyue suddenly realized, so he was raising a Spiritual Beast.
"I’ll give you ten Sand Ant Eggs as a reward for bartering the Four-direction Boat. How does that sound?" Ye Lingyue said and painfully took out her Life Purple Gold Bag.
She picked the ten worst-looking eggs, ready to throw them to him.
Just then, the Four-direction Boat under their feet suddenly rocked violently.
Ye Lingyue was just about to steady herself when the Life Qiankun Bag flew out of her hands.
Annoyed, she was about to snatch it back, but Feng Xun held her and shook his head.
"Deal."
Su seed quite interested in Ye Lingyue’s Life Qiankun Bag. His fingers moved slightly, and a fla—sowhere between purple and black—quickly left the mark "Zi Tang Su" on the bag.
It seems that was Su’s full na.
Right under Ye Lingyue’s eyes, he refined the Life Qiankun Bag in a blink of an eye.
Ye Lingyue was struck dumb, pointing at Zi Tang Su, too angry to utter a word.
After obtaining the Life Qiankun Bag, Su shifted and was already suspended in the air above Rift Valley Sand River.
He walked away leisurely, hands behind his back, as if he never encountered Ye Lingyue or Feng Xun.
With each step, his figure faded, quickly turning into a residual shadow.
Ye Lingyue swallowed hard and finally squeezed out a sentence after a long while.
"I, I’ve been robbed!"
Ye Lingyue was just short of crying bitterly. How did things turn around like this?
She was supposed to be the one robbing him.
Seeing Ye Lingyue’s almost tearless look, Feng Xun instead started laughing.
"To be robbed by Zi Tang Su from Lonely Moon Sea, you might be the only person in the world facing this."
Lonely Moon Sea?
Ye Lingyue was utterly confused now.
That man was from Lonely Moon Sea?
The leader of the Three Sects, Lonely Moon Sea? The most mysterious Super Major Sect in the Qing Province Continent!
