Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief as he returned to his courtyard.

He had nearly let Dan Qingzi escape. He needed to be more careful, especially when making enemies with someone in the Lawless Tower.

But it seemed that Mi Lingyue and King Hai Luo didn’t hold it against him.

‘I wonder how King Hai Luo would react after returning.’ Jiang Hao shook his head in disbelief.

‘I wonder if he will be like Shang An or different.’

He would only find out in the next gathering.

Given King Hai Luo’s status and influence, Liu would definitely pay attention to it and bring it up at the gathering.

Jiang Hao took out Dan Qingzi’s storage treasure. He found twenty thousand spirit stones inside.

‘So many?’

Soon, he shook his head again. It was too little for someone like Dan Qingzi.

Did Dan Qingzi prepare such a small amount of spirit stones for his backup plan?

However, there were quite a few pills for the Primordial Spirit Realm.

There were also talismans and two magical treasures.

One was a spirit sword at the Soul Ascension Realm, and the other was a magical treasure to block attacks.

However, this magical treasure had cracks all over it and had lost its luster.

“Is this an innate Dharma treasure?”

He remembered that he hadn’t dealt too much damage to the magical treasure at that time, so it must have been damaged because of the owner’s death.

Thus, it was worthless and could only be sold. It wasn’t even clear if it could be sold. After all, it was severely damaged.

‘Maybe it’ll fetch a few thousand spirit stones.’

For something acquired by chance, he didn’t mind taking a little loss when selling it.

What mattered was getting spirit stones. Otherwise, this treasure was just scrap metal.

He then placed each item on the table and intended to check other gains. But just as he had placed them on the table, a fragrance wafted up from behind.

“Quite a few good things you’ve got here,” said a teasing voice.

Jiang Hao, who had intended to put away the items, froze and then turned to look.

It was Hong Yuye.

Her long hair flowed down. She was dressed in a red and white gown. A strand of air fell on her chest.

“Greetings, Senior.” He greeted her respectfully.

“Are these all yours?” Hong Yuye walked to the table and examined the items.

“They belong to a senior. I am temporarily keeping them for him and will return them after some time. I am just double-checking to ensure nothing is missing,” Jiang Hao said seriously.

“A senior?” Hong Yuye sat down and looked at him with narrowed eyes. “What kind of senior is this?”

“A senior whom I deeply respect. He is unrestrained. He is not bound by worldly constraints and never bothers with the differences between men and women. He transcends the prejudices of the mundane world,” Jiang Hao said earnestly.

“Is that so?” Hong Yuye was quite interested. “Is this senior a man or a woman?”

“Um…” Jiang Hao hesitated momentarily and then said, “I think a man.” He had first met Dan Qingzi as a man, so he was probably a man.

Later, he had taken on a female avatar. But Jiang Hao wasn’t sure if that counted as Dan Qingzi being a woman.

“Do you wait for him to come back and retrieve these things?” Hong Yuye looked down at the table.

“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded. “The senior trusts me, and I am not an ungrateful person.”

Hong Yuye fell silent. Then, she looked at him with a smile. “Do you think I’m an ungrateful person?”

The question puzzled Jiang Hao, but he quickly said, “Senior, you are highly respected and naturally not ungrateful.”

“Do you trust me?” Hong Yuye asked again, with a smile growing on her face.

It was an unsettling smile.

Jiang Hao hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement. “I trust you.”

“Well then…” Hong Yuye narrowed her eyes. “How about I help you keep these things for your senior?”

Jiang Hao was at a loss for words.

“No?” Hong Yuye asked coldly.

Jiang Hao lowered his head. He looked at the storage treasure and the twenty thousand spirit stones. There were the pills and the spirit sword too. He could see the Primordial Spirit Sword for twenty thousand spirit stones!

The pills would fetch him another twenty thousand. Altogether, it would be sixty thousand spirit stones.

He sighed inwardly.

“Senior, your virtue is vast and encompassing, like the boundless ocean. How can one worry you with trivial matters of the world? I’ll take care of this small matter.”

“Just that?” Hong Yuye sat upright in her chair and smiled.

It seemed that she didn’t care about the items on the table.

Jiang Hao was speechless.

For a moment, he didn’t know how to praise her.

At this moment, Hong Yuye picked up the discarded magical treasure.

She seemed a little disdainful.

“How long has it been since you bought Red Azure tea?”

She picked up the spirit sword. When it was unsheathed, the power flowed like a galaxy, but it felt somewhat restrained as if it were sealed.

Clang!

Hong Yuye lightly flicked her fair fingers against the sword. The sword’s body instantly flowed like a galaxy, and a powerful force was released. Jiang Hao was surprised. This power was not much weaker than his own.

It was a good sword.

The price might be higher than he expected, especially when the power was unleashed.

Putting the sword back on the table, Hong Yuye no longer paid attention to it.

It seemed like ordinary scrap metal to her.

Jiang Hao didn’t dare hesitate. “It has been a while.”

“Do you have any objections to buying it again now?” Hong Yuye asked calmly.

But for some reason, there was an undercurrent in her calmness.

It seemed that if the person before her refused, this undercurrent would completely engulf him.

“No problem,” Jiang Hao said and lowered his head.

“Put the things away.” Hong Yuye looked at the table.

After some time, Jiang Hao put away the items and then brewed some tea.

It was the Heavenly Sky Snow Bud tea, which was worth 251 spirit stones.

He had bought it earlier.

Although the price had increased, he didn’t know if Hong Yuye would like it.

Jiang Hao felt quite nervous watching her take a sip.

At that moment, Hong Yuye glanced at him. Her gaze revealed nothing, but it made him feel uneasy.

However, nothing happened.

Hong Yuye was still drinking her tea. She looked satisfied.

Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

He had fooled her. However, if he didn’t get Red Azure tea soon, he would be in trouble.

Although he had gained a lot this time, he couldn’t sell the magical treasures and pills. He could only use twenty thousand spirit stones for now.

“The gathering is over?” Hong Yuye asked.

“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded.

Indeed, the gathering had taken place some time ago.

Even Gui had changed her mind at the gathering about coming here.

“Tell me about the gathering,” Hong Yuye said as she sipped her tea.

Just as Jiang Hao was about to speak, he heard footsteps outside.

Then, a young girl said, “Beast, are you home? There is some delicious food in the cafeteria. Let’s go together. Since you have friends there, we can eat a bit more.”

“Xiao Li?” Jiang Hao was surprised.

How did she come here? It was even more surprising that she could approach the area while Hong Yuye was there.

Jiang Hao remembered that whenever Hong Yuye visited, no one seemed to be able to approach them.

He sneakily glanced at the person drinking tea. She seemed indifferent about the matter..
