Lu Sangjiu snorted coldly and said very rudely: "Looking at your peacock spreading its wings, do you still need to ask?"

If he didn't catch it, he would probably be embarrassed to mention it, right?

Xie Ningyuan clicked his tongue, "Can't you be more polite when you say this?"

When he said the words of blame, he didn't seem to blame him at all, as if he was used to Lu Sangjiu being like this.

Lu Sangjiu, too, was very good at pretending in front of others, but he couldn't pretend at all in front of Xie Ningyuan.

Maybe it was because he had seen through her a long time ago and she felt that even if she pretended, she couldn't deceive him. Or maybe it was because she had to break the pot?

When a person knows you well enough and has the ability to control your life or death, he will either cry for mercy or break the pot.

Lu Sangjiu obviously couldn't do the former, so it could only do the latter to its fullest.

Picking up the cup and taking another sip of wine, Lu Sangjiu slowly spoke, "Stop talking nonsense. Since you came to me and took the initiative to bring up this matter, do you think you have any useful information for me? "

Speaking of this, Xie Ningyuan couldn't help but look a little solemn.

"Originally, I just wanted to help you solve a problem, but I found that those people are more troublesome than I thought, and they are also worthy of further investigation."

Xie Ningyuan went after the two people who lured Lu Sangjiu into the woods.

Strictly speaking, they may not be considered associates of those people, because they were only temporarily bribed.

After catching up with them, Xie Ningyuan asked about the whole story, but when he wanted to ask more questions, the two of them suddenly died suddenly.

He examined their bodies and discovered that they had died from a curse.

Curse is a very mysterious existence even for immortal cultivators.

This thing has not appeared many times in the past, but every time it appears, it is accompanied by a large number of deaths.

And the people who have used the curse are all evil cultivators. They are either mysterious and powerful and no one can find them; or they die simply and neatly, leaving no information to anyone.

Therefore, the immortal cultivators' understanding of curses has always been based on some clues left on the cursed people and some theoretical analysis.

The curse itself is mysterious and powerful, so there is no need to say who can use it.

This is why Xie Ningyuan said that those people are more troublesome than imagined and more worthy of further investigation.

After discovering that the two people died of a curse, Xie Ningyuan used a secret method to trace some of the remaining auras on the two people, and immediately locked the opponent's manpower left in Muxian Town.

The other party evacuated first vigilantly. Xie Ningyuan chased him all the way and briefly exchanged blows with him, but in the end he escaped.

"The leader of that group of people is a strong man in the late Golden Core stage. He is even more powerful than the one who sniped you."

"And he possesses a high-level earth escape talisman, so I couldn't keep him."

After Lu Sangjiu heard Xie Ningyuan's words, he couldn't help but frown. This Qilin Sect was becoming more and more mysterious and weird.

But what she was more curious about was: "You can't even keep a late-stage golden elixir?"

Xie Ningyuan choked for a moment, and then said angrily, "What kind of tone are you talking about? How come you are in the foundation building stage, and you talk about the late stage of the Golden Core like a cabbage, as if I am no good if I can't keep it?"

"Please, I'm just a poor little person in the late Jindan stage, okay?"

Lu Sangjiu: "..."

I believe you!

She glanced at him calmly, and couldn't help but guess that maybe it was related to his old illness?

In the secret realm before, he suffered from an old disease after using too much power. Maybe he is also restricted by that now?

However, Lu Sangjiu didn't ask any more questions, and instead said, "So, are you interested in those people now?"

When she opened her mouth, Xie Ningyuan immediately guessed her intention, "Why, you want to use my free labor force to help you track down those people?"

Lu Sangjiu looked at him and showed a pure and innocent smile, "It is said that Buddhists have a great love for helping the world and saving people. Those people are not good at first glance. Don't you want to find out?"

Xie Ningyuan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you think I am the kind of Buddhist who has great love?"

Lu Sangjiu: "..."

She was silent, so she decided to persuade him in another way.

"Those people may be related to Lone Phoenix."

As expected, Xie Ningyuan immediately changed his attitude.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Sangjiu's expression carefully, "What do you mean?"

Lu Sangjiu told what happened between the secret realm palace and the great elder.

Although Xie Ningyuan followed Lu Sangjiu all the way, he also lost his direction because of a sandstorm.

Later, when Lu Sangjiu was found in the underground palace, she was about to be sucked into the altar, so he really didn't know about this part.

After Lu Sangjiu finished reciting the words of the great elder, she said: "I suspect that Gu Huang's death many years ago was related to him. Since you want to find Gu Huang, you might as well investigate this matter clearly. Maybe you will gain something. ?”

Lu Sangjiu was quite embarrassed to use herself for fishing, but those people were targeting her and she was temporarily unable to do anything to them. So Xie Ningyuan's free labor force was not in vain, right?

Xie Ningyuan was silent for a long time before asking again, "So, did she teach you about your fellow immortals and demons? Are you... her disciple?"

Lu Sangjiu was stunned, wondering why Xie Ningyuan got back into this matter.

She hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to lie: "Yes."

She thought that Xie Ningyuan would definitely ask for more evidence, but she didn't expect that after hearing this, he just smiled silently and nodded, "Okay."

Lu Sangjiu didn't react at all, "What's good?"

"Didn't you ask me to help track down those people? I agreed."

Lu Sangjiu was stunned again, becoming more and more confused about Xie Ningyuan's thoughts, "Why on earth do you have to find her?"

This is not the first time Lu Sangjiu has asked this question, but in the past Xie Ningyuan just avoided it, but this time he gave a relatively positive answer.

He said: "I still want to tell her face to face about this matter... rather than pretending to be someone else's."

Lu Sangjiu realized that Xie Ningyuan had acquiesced that she had a way to contact Guhuang.

That said, there is nothing wrong with it from a certain perspective.

She didn't refute, she just kept silent and accepted it.

Xie Ningyuan smiled again, "It doesn't matter, I've been waiting for more than a hundred years, and now I can wait until you are willing to believe me."

He raised his glass towards her, "Don't worry, I won't reveal your secret to anyone... I swear on my life."

Lu Sangjiu was a little surprised, and couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Maybe...you can try to give him a little trust?

So she raised her glass and clinked it with him, "Okay, I believe what you said today."

"Hopefully... we will never be enemies."

At this moment, Lu Sangjiu secretly made a decision in her heart. One day she would be able to protect herself, and she would be the first to tell him her identity.

By then, no matter whether the outcome is good or bad, she will be able to bear the consequences.
