"Don't go," Gao Fei reached out to stop the young man, smiling as he said, "Everything was fine just now, why are you leaving so suddenly?"
"It's not... I really have sothing... important to do..."
"You're looking down on !"
"Oh, why would you say that? I'm just a low-level disciple, how dare I look down on an honored guest..."
"Then why are you leaving?"
"Like I said, I have... matters to attend to..."
"Except for matters of life and death, anything else can wait."
"But I..."
"What's this?" Gao Fei produced several pieces of athyst as if by magic, "Do you know what these are?"
"Athyst?" The young man's eyes suddenly bulged.
"That's right, you even recognize athyst," Gao Fei said with a grin, "Since you know it, you should also know what athyst is used for, right?"
"Yes," the young man nodded fervently, "Athyst is the top cultivation resource..."
"You know quite a bit." Gao Fei chuckled, "Do you want it?"
"Huh?"
"I'm asking if you want the athyst."
"Of course, I want it," the young man replied instinctively.
"Here you go." Gao Fei stuffed the athyst into the young man's hand, "Take good care of it, don't drop it."
The young man was stunned and stared blankly at the athyst in his hand, unable to utter a word. What does this an? Why is he just giving athyst?
"Co, sit down." Gao Fei pulled the young man to a seat, then said with a smile, "Keep company for a chat, make happy, and I'll give you... a hundred pieces of athyst."
"Are you serious?" The young man asked with a trembling voice. As a low-ranking disciple, he hardly ever ca into contact with athyst. A hundred pieces of athyst were a fortune to him. If he could really get a hundred pieces, his cultivation would leap several levels. The more the young man thought about it, the more excited he beca.
"Here." Gao Fei waved his hand, and a small pile of athysts appeared on the table, bathing in the sunlight streaming through the window and emitting a serene purple glow, looking dreamlike and enchanting.
"Gulp!" The young man swallowed hard, his eyes fixed on the athyst, "Are you really... going to give ... these athysts..."
"Yes." Gao Fei nodded, "As long as you keep company and make happy, all these athysts are yours." At that mont, Gao Fei seed like the archetypal seducer, using tempting words to lure the young man. Athyst truly was an irresistible weapon; just by laying it out, it could move anyone, whether they were high-ranking officials or low-level individuals.
"Okay, I'll keep you company," the young man nodded vigorously, "What do you want to talk about?" As he spoke, his eyes still clung to the athyst.
"I'm quite interested in your Palace Master Shangguan Yunyue."
"That..."
"What's the matter?"
"The Vice Palace Master and the elders gave strict orders not to discuss Palace Master Shangguan's affairs in private..." the young man said with difficulty.
"It's just us three here, you won't say anything, I won't say anything, he won't say anything, outsiders won't find out," Gao Fei reassured him with a smile. "If you don't want to speak, that's fine, it's just a pity for these athysts..." As he said this, Gao Fei moved to take back the athysts.
"Wait, wait," the young man beca anxious, "Don't take them away... Fine, I'll tell you!" Driven by the temptation of the athysts, the young man decided to take a risk, "But you have to promise it won't get out! If it does, I'm finished."
"Don't worry, I definitely won't blab about this," Gao Fei promised, patting his chest with assurance.
Sitting beside him, Immortal Master Huang also nodded slightly, ensuring he would not gossip about the matter.
"Actually, I don't know much," the young man said softly. "Just a few days ago, Piaomiao Palace suddenly erupted into conflict, and the scene was quite lively. At first, I thought enemies had invaded Piaomiao Palace. But when I got to the scene, I was just stunned... The Vice Palace Master and a bunch of elders were attacking Palace Master Shangguan... To this day, I still can't understand why they would attack Palace Master Shangguan. She's such a good person, how could they just..."
"What happened after that?" Gao Fei pressed for more information.
"Palace Master Shangguan, in an attempt to break through the encirclent, self-destructed three top-tier treasures, seriously injuring several elders..."
"Don't stop, keep going."
"Palace Master Shangguan took advantage of the chaos and broke out... At that ti, her condition was really bad... Later, Palace Master Shangguan hid in the back mountain... and then set up a formation to protect herself..."
The young man spoke chaotically, but Gao Fei understood.
Palace Master Shangguan Yunyue indeed had not left Piaomiao Palace...
"Oh my, the formation set up by Palace Master Shangguan is really powerful. The Vice Palace Master and the group of elders did everything they could but couldn't break through the formation," the young man continued. "I heard from others that the formation protecting Palace Master Shangguan is of Spiritual Treasure Level, with incredibly strong defensive capabilities..." The young man was like an open book; once he started talking, he couldn't stop, prattling on and on.
A Spiritual Treasure Level formation, huh? If that's so, then Palace Master Shangguan Yunyue won't be in danger for the ti being.
Gao Fei fell into deep thought.
Even after the young man had finished speaking, Gao Fei was still lost in thought, unknowingly pondering sothing else.
"So, uh... that's as much as I know..." The young man licked his dry lips. "Can I leave now...?"
"Hmm," Gao Fei snapped back to attention and smiled, "Thank you for sharing so much with ! Here, these athysts are yours now!" True to his word, Gao Fei handed the athysts on the table to the young man after getting the information he wanted.
"Oh wow, thank you so much, thank you! If you ever want soone to talk with in the future, make sure you look for ! I'm always available!" The young man bounded away happily, clutching the athysts.
"Clang!" went the noise.
Immortal Master Huang stood up, closed the door, and then turned around, his expression grave as he looked at Gao Fei: "What do you plan to do next?"
"What do you think?" Gao Fei sought Immortal Master Huang's opinion.
"How about... I go and do so investigating?"
"No way! I can't let you take that risk!"
"It's fine, I'll be careful. With my skills, I shouldn't encounter any danger."
"I said no ans no." Gao Fei was very firm: "Let think of a better way; there has to be one." Gao Fei stood up from his chair, frowning as he paced back and forth in the room. It wasn't clear when he had developed this habit, but whenever he faced a vexing issue, Gao Fei would walk back and forth in the room. He said that when his body swayed, his mind beca especially calm!
Immortal Master Huang was also pondering a solution.
"I've got it," Gao Fei stopped pacing. "I've thought of a way!"
"What is it?" Immortal Master Huang asked curiously.
"Heh heh..." Gao Fei walked over and murmured a few words in Immortal Master Huang's ear.
"Uh... that's very risky." Immortal Master Huang furrowed his brows. "You should know the principle of not showing off your wealth. If Nangong Qi finds out you carry a rare treasure, he might covet it."
Gao Fei swept his hand grandly: "Right now, I can't worry about that. As long as it could save Palace Master Shangguan Yunyue, I'm willing to take any risk."
"Sigh..." Immortal Master Huang let out a light sigh. "Since you've made up your mind, I'll support you fully. I hope you succeed."
