Chapter 33: Chapter 33 The Little Girl is Indeed Different from the Others
“How much do you want to buy?”
Xie Jiuniang’s eyes sparkled as she looked at the three of them, “There are gifts! The more you buy, the more you definitely get.”
Cheng Huaixin’s words reminded the trio that although they ca with a mission to participate in the Sect evaluation, it was also a rare opportunity.
Better take the chance and go for it.
So, the three of them emptied their savings and exchanged for the Spirit Talismans, Elixirs, and Array Plates they needed with Xie Jiuniang, spending over three thousand Spirit Stones in total.
Xie Jiuniang smiled from ear to ear, “I’ll give each of you a Featherweight Talisman, plus ten pounds of dried at.”
The three seed to have no objections.
However, a male cultivator seed to casually remind them, “Xie Daoist friend, I can do without the gift, but do you have a hairpin? Please give one to Axing as a gift. She accidentally broke hers just now.”
“Ah? I actually have one, I bought it in the Fangshi two days before the evaluation,” Xie Jiuniang agreed readily, “Let
find it, my things are a bit of a ss.”
Axing couldn’t stop the surprise from bubbling up in her heart.
The other two were equally excited.
Just as Xie Jiuniang was about to take it out, a few more people walked out of the cave.
Gan Long approached enthusiastically and grabbed Axing’s arm, “Sister Axing, why didn’t you say you were missing a hairpin earlier? I have a few new styles here, never used, I’ll give one to you.”
Before Axing could speak, Gan Long cheerfully stuffed a Lotus Jade Hairpin into her hand.
Xie Jiuniang laughed, “This is much prettier than my Wooden Hairpin. Mine isn’t worth much, I bought it in the Fangshi for a few Spiritual Pearls.”
Axing felt so angry she could spit blood internally.
Who the hell wants a jade hairpin, I wanted the Wooden Hairpin!
The other two were also feeling terribly frustrated.
At this critical mont, the fact that they ca out to create a disturbance made them suspect that Gan Long and his group might have the sa goal as them.
Their eyes t, and cold lights clashed.
Even though they didn’t know why the higher-ups wanted a little girl’s Wooden Hairpin, nor why they had the odd requirent not to attract the hairpin owner’s attention.
But, the Wooden Hairpin was undoubtedly very important.
Xie Jiuniang handed the gifts to Axing and the others and then packed up the half-dried roast at.
“Xie Daoist friend, are you…?”
The others, seeing Xie Jiuniang tidying up, quickly asked.
Xie Jiuniang’s eyes smiled as she spoke, “I’m leaving first. You all rest easy.”
Gan Long asked, “Aren’t you waiting to go with everyone?”
“No, I was originally doing the evaluation alone.”
Her words left Gan Long and the others in disbelief.
We’ve been through adversity together for a whole night, and now you suddenly tell us you’re alone?
That’s low!
It’s like freeloading off of us for an entire night.
Xie Jiuniang slapped her legs with the Featherweight Talisman, “Fellow Daoists, I’m leaving first, we shall et again if fate wills it.”
Inside the cave.
Only Cheng Huaixin and the man in green robes remained, each occupying one side.
They were aware of the situation outside, Xie Jiuniang had already left.
When the man in green robes opened his eyes again, his pupils were like cold stars, “From the Lin Family?”
A chill ran down Cheng Huaixin’s spine, “May I ask who you are…?”
“You need not know,” the man in green robes stood up, “We needn’t travel together moving forward; let’s rely on our own abilities.”
The man in green robes was the first to leave.
Before leaving, he told Gan Long and the others not to follow him and to take the Sect evaluation seriously. They were overjoyed to hear this and uniformly bowed in gratitude towards the direction he left.
Cheng Huaixin and his three companions left as well.
To chase after Xie Jiuniang.
Xie Jiuniang originally wanted to change direction because if she continued forward, she would arrive at the peak where she encountered danger in her past life, but in the end, she hesitated.
Having just finished her task there, suddenly changing direction, especially after stopping at the waterfall for nearly half a day before, might raise Mo Chuan’s suspicions when connecting all three actions.
In the end, Xie Jiuniang chose to keep moving forward.
As she passed by the peak, she thought that the Ganoderma Establishnt had been taken by her, and that the hawks and falcons were killed by the Broken Sword, thus foiling Mo Chuan’s plan.
But as she passed by again, she slled a faint scent of dicine?
Xie Jiuniang’s expression turned slightly cold.
What did this imply?
It indicated that Mo Chuan was determined to seize the opportunity ant for her.
It also indirectly showed that he did not suspect that the Ganoderma Establishnt was taken by her, which was good news. Besides, there was no reason to refuse good things that ca her way.
Xie Jiuniang took so ti to confirm the source of the dicinal scent.
Last ti, the Ganoderma Establishnt was buried on the eastern side of the mountain wall, but this ti it was on the southern side… the sa mountain peak, but in different locations.
This ti it was a rare high-grade Spirit Plant called the Seven-Leaf One-Branch Flower, renowned in the Cultivation World as a sacred antidote. Rumor had it that consuming the entire plant would grant a body impervious to all toxins; of course, this was just hearsay and its authenticity was yet to be verified, but its detoxifying properties were certain.
Mo Chuan really had a lot of good things in his possession.
But why was this guy targeting her? Shouldn’t he be focusing on her elder sister at this ti?
Xie Jiuniang did not rush to pick the plant.
Instead, she quietly approached the mountain wall, dug a small cave big enough to fit her body, set up a Protective Array and an Isolation Array, and then took out the Ti Leaf.
This ti, she held a mouthful of Spiritual Liquid before activating foresight.
[She successfully climbed the mountain wall, and when she was two zhang away from the Seven-Leaf One-Branch Flower, a Golden Ring Snake suddenly shot out from a crevice in the wall and bit her. She fell from the height of a hundred zhang, but a man in green robes appeared just in ti to catch her in midair…]
Twelve breaths were about to end.
Seizing the mont, Xie Jiuniang swallowed the Spiritual Liquid in her mouth, and the vision continued.
[Safely landing, he fed her a Detoxification Pill and helped her eliminate the remaining poison… then said he would repay the lifesaving debt on the spot and took away the Wooden Hairpin.]
The vision abruptly stopped, and Xie Jiuniang returned from the river of ti, her face pale, her Dantian’s Spiritual Power depleted.
Xie Jiuniang quickly consud an Essence Nourishing Pill and another mouthful of Spiritual Liquid, and sat in ditation to recover to her original state.
Next, she needed to plan carefully.
High-grade Spirit Plants were rare and priceless, often only appearing at various auctions, where Cultivators would typically exchange them for resources.
As for the man in green robes who was determined to save her, she would let him do the saving…
After preparing for almost half an hour.
In the small cave where Xie Jiuniang was hiding, the Protective and Isolation Arrays outside disappeared. Xie Jiuniang erged from the cave wearing a simple Vestnt robe, looking refreshed and vigorous.
Mo Chuan, who was secretly watching Xie Jiuniang, thought that Lin Wangchen indeed had so insight; the girl from the Xie Family really was extraordinary.
A bit cheap and cheeky, with an especially thick face.
The Mo Family also had detailed records about the Child of Destiny, and none was quite like her. She was like a unique little flower.
So ti ago, the Destiny Star had appeared, and Mo Chuan received a ssage from his family.
The family sent people to assist him, hoping that he would seize the opportunity to grab one or two great fortunes.
While everyone else was focused on Xie Ying, he was the exception. He sent everyone to watch Lin Wangchen.
As his rival from childhood, Mo Chuan understood Lin Wangchen better than anyone else.
Lin Wangchen was ticulous, outwardly a gentleman as gentle as jade but in reality, his actions were sinister and ruthless.
If anyone was to quickly find the Child of Destiny and gain their fortune, Mo Chuan believed it would be none other than Lin Wangchen.
And indeed, keeping a close eye on Lin Wangchen was much easier than searching for the Child of Destiny!
Before the assessnt, he received news that Lin Wangchen had arranged for soone to participate in the Sect examination, with the target being a Wooden Hairpin owned by Xie Jiuniang, who incidentally originated from the Xie Family in Yunmu City.
It was the family where the Child of Destiny resided.
Was the Wooden Hairpin the fortune?
Whether it was or wasn’t, it was best to seize it first and ask questions later…
(Note: Hairpins and hair clasps are different, the forr for securing hair in place, the latter for decorative purposes and grace in movent.)
