Yuan Xia reactively smiled when she heard Yang Tian’s angry voice, but she forced herself to hold back. With a pleading undertone, she brayed, “That’s not your business. Leave. Now!”
Yang Tian bit down on his lip and stubbornly replied, “His cultivation method is profound. How did you get to know him?”
The youth was annoyed with being offended for the first time in his life and embarrassed. The quick flash of energy from his forehead sent a chill down Yang Tian’s spine.
Yuan Xia: “If you want him to discern Yun’er’s divine body, keep standing there.”
Yang Tian could stop scouting, but Yun’er didn’t have a divine item protecting her body. Hence, he shot Yuan Xia a glare and grab Yun’er’s hand. “Let’s go!”
Yuan Xia scowled when she saw the two leave hand in hand. The youth found it amusing and returned to his refined character, showing the holy maiden due respect.
Yang Tian hung his head down and sighed. Yun’er wanted to ask him what happened but refrained. Suddenly, Yuan Xia, in a hopeless tone, utilised Voice Transmission to communicate, “He’s a disciple of Divinity Sect. I’m searching for my clan’s item at Dao Deity Mountain, so I need his Deduction Technique…”
Yang Tian didn’t expect the explanation; he thought Yuan Xia had changed from her old self… He muttered, “Does this mean we’ve grown closer?” However, he tightened his hold on Yun’er’s hand out of instinct upon noticing her upset reaction.
Yang Tian had only seen Chubby use Deduction Technique, so he asked, “Does anyone know about Divinity Sect?”
“I know,” answered Yu’er, tuning in to Yang Tian’s mumbling. “They’re a secluded sect in Central State.”
Yang Tian pulled his eyebrows together. “Secluded sect?”
“They specialise in deduction techniques, allowing them to find things one usually wouldn’t find.”
Yang Tian spotted Chubby and Xiaoji fearlessly snooping around in spite of their infamy up ahead on his next step. “Chubby!”
Chubby turned around to face the owner of the voice in an aggressive manner owing to the way he was addressed. Yang Tian shook his head and changed his voice back to normal. In a quiet voice, he said, “It’s me.”
“You…?” Chubby scratched his head. Xiaoji approached with a smile. Noticing Dahu, Chubby pinched him: “Not bad. He’s got a lot of meat. I bet he’d make a good meal.”
Enraged, Dahu went hedgehog mode and tried to bite Chubby’s arm. Chubby smirked. Dahu’s teeth clanged against Chubby’s arm. Feeling his mouth spasm, Dahu cried, “Ow! That hurt!”
Chubby laughed. “You stupid tiger. I’m sure your flesh is tasty.”
Dahu bolted behind Yun’er. Vigilantly watching Chubby, he muttered under his breath. “You’re one of a kind. Who has skin that dense…?”
Yang Tian followed the duo to their lodging, which was a courtyard that stood alone. It was decorated to look stately. Yang Tian questioned, “Hehe, Chubby, how many treasures did you pick up from Li Clan’s place?
“There were no treasures.”
Dahu’s eyes bulged and ran over to Chubby. “Brother Chubby, you are amazing, courageous, suave, striking…”
Chubby relished the praise. Dahu’s appearance shocked Xiaoji. Tired of Dahu’s garble, Yang Tian booted Dahu, sending him tumbling along the ground to Chubby’s glee. Yang Tian demanded, “Chubby, hand over Universe Bag already.”
“Ahaha, well, I’ve used up all of the treasures. Can’t you tell our cultivation has improved significantly?”
Yang Tian genuinely… didn’t believe Chubby. He couldn’t tell what their cultivation level was; however, judging from Dahu’s reaction, it was most probably true. “What about the refining materials?”
“I almost forgot. Hehe, give me all of your refinement materials. I have an epic idea in mind.”
“Huh?!”
“Hehe, Li Clan did have an enormous stash of materials. I’ve refined them into formation breaker beads, unfortunately!” responded Chubby, wearing an evil look.
“What are formation breaker beads for?”
Xiaoji enlightened, “There are lots of formations in Dao Deity Mountain to guard the items. They can dismantle formations, but rarely anyone creates them since they can only be used once.”
“Oh… Hehe, I want some, too.”
Chubby: “I-I don’t have any. Give me some materials in exchange. Upgrading the beads puts them in an entirely different class to the normal ones.”
Before Yang Tian lost his temper, Chubby summoned two jade talismans to his hand. They were sensory talismans; to make sensory talismans, one had to imbue it with profound formation patterns. “Hehe, for you. We have to split up once we enter Dao Deity Mountain. You can locate others carrying this within a radius of five hundred metres.”
Yang Tian pondered, “That’s the same regulation as the one at Martial Arts Mountain. I wonder if Ancestral Dragon Ring can slip in.”
Yang Tian snorted, as he suspected the talismans came from Li Clan. They were so ancient he sense the antiquity.
Dahu needed to locate Yang Tian as soon as possible once they were inside for his own survival. “Hey, Brother Chubby, give me one?”
“I only have two. Ask for something else. Wait. Yu have a white tiger’s Bloodline?”
“Wow, you are perceptive, Brother Chubby.” Dahu wagged his tail.
Chubby shook the building with his laughter. “Haha, that’s a given. I’ll help you evolve a bit later.”
Xiaoji: “Yang Tian, we’ll be in a precarious situation in there at our level despite Almighty Realm being the highest realm permitted inside. After all, there are creatures in there, too.”
Chubby added, “Xiaoji is right. There are a lot of valuables in there, having said that!”
Xiaoji: “There have been lots of powerful creatures, Almighty adepts and so forth recently. Add the elders to the equation, and we’re in quite the pickle.”
Chubby leaned in/ “Hehe, your gamble at the company will finally serve a purpose. I could make plenty of formation breaker beads from the materials you won.”
Yang Tian smacked himself on the head for forgetting about them. “I don’t know where Meng Yunxi is. Even if I knew, I doubt she brought so many materials on her.”
Chubby smirked lecherously/ “I know where she is. She’s close by. Go ask.”
Yang Tian scratched his head, hoping Meng Yunxi wasn’t planning on entering as even Dahu could defeat her.
Chubby patted Dahu on the and, in a cunning tone, pestered, “Hurry. My bro here will develop immensely with them.”
Dahu: “You’re so cool, Brother Chubby.”
Yang Tian shook his head. Then, he headed to Meng Yunxi’s large courtyard with Chubby as his guide. Meng Yunxi’s place’s lights were still on. A guard asked, “Young Master, may I know what you are here for?”
Yang Tian handed over the golden token Meng Yunxi previously gave him. The guard courteously queried, “Do you have orders, Young Master?”
Yang Tian smiled. “Take me to Meng Yunxi.”
The guard immediately led Yang Tian into the resplendent building housing numerous people. Yang Tian wasn’t sure if he was about to meet with fortune or misfortune when he felt the elders’ auras. The guard bid farewell once he led Yang Tian to the innermost section of the building. Yang Tian walked over to the door with a smile. Before he could knock, the door swung open. He was treated to the sight of a beauty in green. She shuddered and blushed.
