"Can't take it, can't rob it, do we have to steal it?" Shangguan Yunyue frowned as she spoke.
"Uh... if you can steal it without anyone noticing, that would be quite a feat," said Dongguo Heixin, twisting his mouth.
"This won't do, that won't do, then tell what to do," Shangguan Yunyue said in annoyance.
"Don't ask ," Dongguo Heixin quickly waved his hands: "I don't know either." He added, "You'd better think carefully, Myriad Buddhas Sect is not to be trifled with..."
"No need to think anymore," Shangguan Yunyue shook her head. "I have made up my mind! I will set off for Myriad Buddhas Sect right now! No matter the cost, I must get the Shariputra! By the way, how many Shariputra do we need?"
"One should be enough... however, if you can get your hands on a few more, that would be even better."
"Fine, I got it. I'll try to get as many as possible."
"Well, I still stand by what I said; you must be extrely careful. If, and I an if, you get caught, you must never reveal my na."
"Rest assured; even if I die, I won't implicate you," Shangguan Yunyue lowered her head to glance at Gao Fei, "Dongguo Divine Doctor, I have an unreasonable request, and I hope you can agree to it."
Dongguo Divine Doctor pursed his lips: "Tell , as long as it's not too difficult, I'll consider it."
"I want to leave Gao Fei here in Divine Doctor Valley..."
"That's it?"
"Here are one thousand athysts, consider it Gao Fei's accommodation fee."
"Oh, okay then, let him stay." Seeing one thousand athysts, Dongguo Heixin reluctantly agreed: "But you have to co back fast! The lad's injuries are severe, he won't last long."
"I will make haste and return swiftly, Dongguo Divine Doctor, please take care of him," Shangguan Yunyue looked deeply at Gao Fei, then soared into the air, flying southwest.
Dongguo Heixin kicked the unconscious Gao Fei with the tip of his foot, speaking in an envious tone: "Lucky you! To have Shangguan Yunyue completely devoted to you! Amazing!" After muttering to himself, Dongguo Heixin bent down, picked up Gao Fei, and walked toward Divine Doctor Valley.
He found a decrepit cottage to lay down Gao Fei, then took out a moldy blanket to cover him.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Dongguo Heixin flicked his fingers, shooting out more than a dozen silver needles. These needles circled in the air before all stabbing into Gao Fei's body—two in the forehead, two in the neck, six in the chest, and one in each hand and foot. This was Dongguo Heixin's exclusive healing secret technique "Silver Needle Point Stimulation," a top-tier thod of healing.
"Kid, I can only keep you alive for a month at most. If Shangguan Yunyue still hasn't returned after a month... then you'll have to go serve the King of Hell in the Underworld." Dropping these words, Dongguo Heixin left, hands behind his back, humming a tune.

Dongfang Jian had been feeling uneasy lately, often sitting alone in a daze, pondering who knows what.
"My lord," a soldier hurried in, "News! My lord! There's news!"
"Oh!" Dongfang Jian suddenly stood up, glaring at the soldier: "Speak quickly!"
"After extensive inquiries by your subordinates, we have finally located them... They are currently residing in the Snow Garden," said the soldier, panting.
"Snow Garden? What place is that?"
"Snow Garden is an estate, spanning thousands of acres, planted with many flowers, including chrysanthemums, lilacs, peonies, azaleas..."
"Alright, get to the point! Tell the exact location of Snow Garden."
"Leave the military camp and head east. After about ten kiloters, you'll see a pontoon bridge. Cross the bridge and you'll co across a main street. Follow the street south for about two kiloters, and you'll reach a crossroad, then..." The soldier rambled on extensively.
Dongfang Jian felt dizzy from the instructions. "Damn it! It's so complicated! Lucky for , I have a good mory; otherwise, I wouldn't be able to rember all this! Alright, that will be all from you; you can leave now."
"Yes, sir." The soldier nodded and turned to leave.
"Hehe..." Dongfang Jian grinned, his smile oozing pride, "I've always said you can't escape the palm of my hand! No matter the cost, I must have you!" Dongfang Jian changed into a brand-new set of clothes and carefully grood himself in the mirror. Two hours later, Dongfang Jian left the military camp.
...
Snow Garden was a famous place for leisure, attracting visitors every day where they would recite poetry, sing while drinking, and enjoy the fragrances of flowers...
A few days ago, Snow Garden received an exclusive guest who reserved the entire garden, forbidding entry to outsiders. After this news spread, it provoked intense dissatisfaction among many people. So bold individuals even ca to cause trouble but were severely taught a lesson and beca subdued, slinking away in defeat. Since then, no one dared to create disturbances at Snow Garden.
Who on earth had such influence to not only reserve the whole Snow Garden but also to beat people?
The strangest part was that the owner of Snow Garden turned a deaf ear and didn't dare to intervene. It was well known that the owner of Snow Garden was a formidable person... to be suppressed by an outsider to the point of silence was beyond comprehension!
Noon.
A man arrived at Snow Garden. Tall and handso, he wore a blue robe that highlighted his imposing aura with every movent.
This man was none other than Dongfang Jian.
"Stop right there!" Two burly n barred Dongfang Jian's way. "This place has been reserved, and outsiders are not allowed to enter or leave."
"I am here to visit a guest," Dongfang Jian said with a slight smile.
"No matter what your purpose is, you cannot enter." The two burly n were adamant.
"Please, make an exception for . I really am here to visit soone." As he spoke, Dongfang Jian handed over a storage bag filled with quite a few Spirit Stones, "This is a token of my sincerity. I hope you both will accept it..."
"Slap!"
The storage bag was swatted away by the two burly n. "Trying to bribe us! You've got quite the nerve! Scram now, or we'll be less than polite!"
"Hey!" Dongfang Jian's mouth twitched violently. These guard dogs were a real nuisance! Puffed up with self-importance, they relied on their master's high status and looked down on others with disdain. Bloody hell, he thought, they would get their couppance eventually. Although angry inside, he didn't let it show on his face. "I really am here to see a guest! Let in, and I promise to leave as soon as I've seen them."
"We said no, and we an it!"
"Scram!"
"Are you going to scram or not?! Believe us, we won't hesitate to give you a good slap!"
"What rubbish!"
The two burly n started to curse at Dongfang Jian, their insults as vulgar as they were loud.
Dongfang Jian's face alternated between shades of red and white, his anger "thrumming" within him... He was on the verge of exploding when a turn of events occurred...
