Chapter 1349: Chapter 1349: How Dare to Have Improper Thoughts?
Half an hour later, Xia Chenyu walked out of Fang Bai’s room and returned to her own residence.
At the sa ti, Zu Hanjiao, who lived next door to Li Chenzhou, withdrew her Divine Sense, her expression complex and unreadable.
“That guest room where Fang Bai resides actually has a formation within a formation, even my Divine Sense couldn’t penetrate it… What a Fang Bai!”
Zu Hanjiao muttered to herself, her gaze growing brighter.
Zu Hanjiao originally planned to subdue Fang Bai, Li Chenzhou, and Xia Chenyu, using their essence blood to refine Elixirs to enhance the dicinal effects.
However, upon realizing that Fang Bai harbored more and more secrets, she adjusted her plan slightly, deciding to spare Fang Bai’s life temporarily after subduing the three, and coercing him to reveal all his secrets.
The inability to eavesdrop on what Fang Bai and Xia Chenyu discussed in the room left Zu Hanjiao deeply vexed.
Additionally, in the past two days, Fang Bai and Li Chenzhou had left Spirit Lake City multiple tis, their actions shrouded in mystery. Zu Hanjiao had covertly instructed her subordinates to follow them, yet unexpectedly, her subordinates were shaken off by the duo, leaving her clueless about their activities.
“Never mind, within a thousand miles of Spirit Lake City’s surrounding area, everything is under my control. Even if those three sprout wings, they won’t escape from my grasp!”
Zu Hanjiao comforted herself.
By early afternoon, Fang Bai gathered Li Chenzhou, Xia Chenyu, and even Zu Hanjiao to the largest Martial Artists Trading Market in Spirit Lake City’s central region, stating that he wanted to exchange for so treasures.
“Miss Zu, don’t worry. Over the past two days, I’ve turned about in Spirit Lake City and didn’t find any ‘Soul Summoning Hall’ disciples. They must have already left.”
Fang Bai saw Zu Hanjiao wearing an expression of nervousness and fear. He sneered inwardly but maintained a polite smile on his face.
“Really? That’s wonderful! These past two days, I’ve been living in constant dread!”
Zu Hanjiao patted her chest and exhaled a long sigh of relief, her cautious and fearful deanor replaced by joy and excitent.
Every expression and movent of Zu Hanjiao was utterly natural, devoid of any signs of pretense. If Fang Bai had not possessed extraordinary insight, having already discerned her ulterior motives when she approached the trio initially, he might truly have been deceived by her.
The four arrived at the Martial Artists Trading Market in the central region of Spirit Lake City. Right before Zu Hanjiao’s eyes, Fang Bai took out a large amount of Cultivation Resources he had obtained from the Eternal Death Zone from his Space Ring, exchanging them for equally valuable Spiritual dicine and special materials for crafting Spiritual Artifacts.
Fang Bai’s extravagant transactions, coupled with the rare High-Rank Cultivation Resources he presented, caused quite a stir within the trading market.
Zu Hanjiao intentionally glanced at the Space Ring Fang Bai wore on his finger, knowing that it undoubtedly contained more rare High-Rank Cultivation Resources. Greed flashed across her eyes.
However, she concealed it seamlessly, ensuring no one noticed her odd expression.
While Fang Bai was busy exchanging Cultivation Resources, Li Chenzhou and Xia Chenyu pretended to browse other stalls for suitable resources and gradually distanced themselves from Fang Bai. They walked farther and farther away until their whereabouts could no longer be seen.
Fang Bai, too, seed oblivious to their departure.
Zu Hanjiao’s primary focus now rested on Fang Bai. As for Li Chenzhou and Xia Chenyu, she had her subordinates keeping a close watch on them, ensuring that any movents they made would reach her ears promptly.
As dusk approached, Fang Bai finally concluded his exchanges and scanned his surroundings before muttering with a frown, “Where are Brother Li and Chenyu?”
Zu Hanjiao replied, “I saw them leaving earlier. Maybe they went to check out other stalls. Shall we go look for them?”
Fang Bai said, “This Martial Artists Trading Market is vast, with thousands of stalls. We’d likely not find them in a short ti… Never mind, let’s leave first.”
“This…”
Zu Hanjiao hesitated, finding Fang Bai’s behavior puzzling. His close relationship with Xia Chenyu ant they were nearly inseparable while traveling. For his attitude to differ so much from usual, was he playing so trick on her?
But Fang Bai’s next words caused Zu Hanjiao’s heart to race wildly, leaving other thoughts behind.
“Miss Zu, how about we take a walk outside Spirit Lake City together?”
Under Zu Hanjiao’s puzzled gaze, Fang Bai lowered his voice and said, “It’s like this, a while ago, I discovered a Martial Artist Remnant outside Spirit Lake City. Though protected by a formation, I have so knowledge of formations and managed to break it. Upon entering, I found the Martial Artist Remnant to be left by soone claiming to be a Foundation Establishnt Expert…”
“Where is this Martial Artist Remnant?”
Before Fang Bai could finish speaking, the restless Zu Hanjiao could no longer restrain herself and interrupted him.
After asking, Zu Hanjiao felt she had acted too rashly and quickly explained, “I’ve heard before that the strength of a Foundation Establishnt Expert far surpasses that of an Innate Perfection Expert. If the remnant you found truly belongs to a Foundation Establishnt Expert, the benefits could be limitless. You might even advance to the Foundation Establishnt realm through it…”
“Indeed.”
Fang Bai nodded slightly and said, “If Miss Zu is unwilling to go, I’ll first escort you back to Yuezhi Inn and then head there myself.”
“Why would you bring along? Are you not afraid I might harbor selfish intentions or leak the news?”
Zu Hanjiao blinked and casually asked.
Fang Bai chuckled lightly, “I’ve always had a keen eye for judging character. From the first ti I saw Miss Zu, I felt she was trustworthy. If you truly hold selfish intentions or divulge the secret, then I’d rely have been blind.”
Zu Hanjiao pressed her lips into a smile, “What if your judgnt is wrong? A Foundation Establishnt Expert’s remnant could drive any Martial Artist into a frenzy!”
“And what if I’m wrong?”
Fang Bai patted his chest with confidence and said proudly, “With my strength and Brother Li’s assistance, who would dare covet the remnant? Least of all you, Miss Zu, a re Cosmic Level Martial Artist.”
Zu Hanjiao sighed softly, “Indeed, as appealing as a Foundation Establishnt Expert’s remnant may be, I, a lowly Cosmic Level Expert, wouldn’t dare harbor undue ambitions. I was rely asking out of curiosity.”
Fang Bai bood with confidence, “We’ve crossed paths and can now call ourselves friends. If I obtain Cultivation Resources from the Foundation Establishnt Expert’s remnant, I’ll share so with you.”
Zu Hanjiao replied with boundless happiness, but a hint of mockery flashed deep within her eyes.
“Can you tell where the Foundation Establishnt Expert’s remnant is?”
As they exited the Martial Artists Trading Market and stepped outside Spirit Lake City, Zu Hanjiao feigned curiosity and asked.
Fang Bai pointed toward the direction of Linghu Lake and said, “It’s just outside the city, beside Linghu Lake. Follow , and we’ll arrive soon!”
Along the way, Fang Bai led at the front while Zu Hanjiao followed closely behind.
Staring at Fang Bai’s back, Zu Hanjiao’s eyes narrowed slightly, the killing intent within her heart roiling intensely.
