"Don’t get all sarcastic, Brother Xu Shu." Xiao Ya smiled sweetly.
She glanced back and noticed that the woman over there was motionless, as if she were dead, then went on to say, "There’s not much ti, so let answer you. First, the Purple Fiend Gold is a relic left by my mother back in the day, a treasure from the Four Sorrows Mystical Gate·Death Sect..."
Before she could finish, Xu Shu suddenly widened his eyes, "Holy crap, a piece of divinity! I’m a student, give it to !"
"???"
Xiao Ya’s mouth opened and closed like a fish, "You... No, who exactly told you that inside the Four Sorrows Mystical Gate, there’s only divinity?"
"Isn’t it?" Xu Shu was a bit skeptical.
He recalled what Shui Longyin had said before, ntioning that the treasury of the Four Sorrows Mystical Gate at least contained a piece of divinity.
It seems...
"So this is more valuable than divinity? I think it’s better to give it to ." Xu Shu said.
"Stop saying giving you, giving you, or I’ll give you a coffin lid next ti, damn it! Can we have a proper conversation? If you interrupt again, I’m not going to talk." Xiao Ya rolled her eyes in annoyance.
"Okay, you can speak slowly." Xu Shu sat down honestly, thinking that he’s done probing; Xiao Ya isn’t even getting angry, so it seems unlikely she’s lying.
"The exact purpose of the Purple Fiend Gold hasn’t been researched yet. It might not be an exceptionally good treasure, although it’s undoubtedly valuable. However, for , it holds significant aning because with it, I have hope of finding the relics my mother left behind."
Xiao Ya puffed her cheeks at Xu Shu, speaking while waving her hand to summon two small animals.
A big, yellow, fat dog, and a pitch-black crow with a smiling face.
As soon as they appeared, the two circled around Xiao Ya, wagging their tails and begging for food, very affectionately.
Xu Shu recognized them as Xiao Huang and Xiao Cang, the Deceitful Servants of Jiang Chengzi’s little sister.
Moreover, they were special Evil Spirits with the "Seven Emotions and Seven Spirits" suffix.
The yellow dog was the "Yang God·Corpse Dog"; the crow was the "Yin God·Le"
Almost simultaneously with the appearance of these two Deceitful Servants, he felt the ’Narrow Sleeve Guanyin’ quietly vibrate, transmitting a strong desire.
Clearly, the nearby Evil Spirits triggered her appetite as if she were seeing a delicious al.
Unfortunately, these two Deceitful Servants belonged to Xiao Ya. Although Xu Shu knew these Evil Spirits were relatively rare, they weren’t hungry enough to target a friend’s belongings.
Xiao Ya patted the heads of the dog and the bird, giving them so bagged blood packs, which the two Deceitful Servants devoured with delight.
Xu Shu pondered, "So, is this the real reason you’re pursuing Voodoo?"
Xiao Ya said, "Not just that. When Old Yu was driven out of the sect, it was also due to that guy stirring up trouble, so I might as well avenge him."
Xu Shu was taken aback, "Old... No, the Archbishop was driven out of the sect?"
"Yeah, because of so old grudges. It wasn’t much, just trying to stick up for a friend and killing a few punks. But Voodoo kept fanning the flas, betraying us, and coupled with his sowhat significant local influence, the old guy had no choice but to let Yu Mingluan leave. Of course, he did escort him out of Penglai safely, so at least he had so conscience left."
Xiao Ya squinted as she spoke, "So old-fashioned people don’t want to follow in my mother’s footsteps, but I insist on doing so. Unfortunately, after my mother’s death, the Purple Fiend Gold was held by that person, and eventually, Voodoo stole it, betraying the sect. Isn’t that funny?"
"Such past events..." Xu Shu rubbed his chin.
It was apparent that the "old guy" in Xiao Ya’s words was likely her master, possibly even her biological father.
Judging by her tone of resentnt, the relationship was clearly strained, making it indeed her "biological dad"...
Xu Shu mused to himself, suddenly saying, "Let’s not discuss whether it’s funny or not; is there a possibility that your dad let it be stolen on purpose?"
"?" Xiao Ya was taken aback by the question but ultimately shook her head, "Unlikely. Although the old guy is old-fashioned, he wouldn’t be that stupid."
"Oh, second thing, what was that card with the Magic Wand just now? I found it sowhat familiar, but I can’t recall it imdiately." Xu Shu shifted the topic again.
Xiao Ya hesitated slightly, "I was just about to ntion it. That’s the ’Ace of Wands’ from the Tarot cards."
"Tarot cards?" Xu Shu was stunned.
Xiao Ya nodded, saying, "There’s an Esoteric organization called the Star Group. Although not that well-known, they are imnsely powerful and undeniably a superpower.
"They have two branches, one of which is called the ’Extinguishing Followers.’ They use different Tarot card nas as codenas to hide their identities, and this ’Ace of Wands’ is among the top ranks of the Minor Arcana cards, indicating that Voodoo’s status within the organization is already significantly high, belonging to the forefront of the Major Arcana ranks.
"Uh, do you know about this organization?" Xiao Ya looked at Xu Shu with slight hesitation.
"..." Xu Shu was rendered speechless by her.
Know about them?
I’m all too familiar!
Honestly, I’ve personally killed a steward of the ’Extinguishing Followers’ and have had close interactions with their archrival, the ’Extinguishing Road Traveler,’ far beyond the bounds of friendship - in the expedition.
Thinking about it, Xu Shu decided not to disclose this and chuckled, "I’ve heard a bit about them before, but don’t know much. Who would’ve thought Voodoo would actually join a cult. He truly deserves death!"
"Yes, I just found out too, that the Residual Sound Society is backed by the Extinguishing Followers." Xiao Ya gritted her teeth.
It’s apparent that the forr "fellow senior brother" turning to join a cult left her feeling equally angry, with a strange sense of being cheated on, although the opponent would et a dead end if they fell into her hands, regardless.
