Chapter 713: The Red Spider Lily Jade Token Has Reappeared
Liu Qian’s heart trembled when he heard Yun Chujiu’s words. “Young hero s.h.i.+, don’t be angry. It’s hard to know the seller’s true intentions. I wonder what material that map was made of? Was it also made of sheepskin?”
Yun Chujiu shook her head. “That’s not it. It was drawn on a jade slip. I destroyed it after I memorized it.”
Liu Qian became suspicious when he heard Yun Chujiu’s words. The person who gave him the sheepskin map clearly said that there was only one copy of the map. Why would there be a jade slip? Could it be that this s.h.i.+ Ling was lying? However, if he did not have the map, he would not have been able to find this place. Could it be that the person thought that he would not be able to complete the mission, so he found someone else as backup?
“Young hero s.h.i.+, may I know what the person who sold you the jade slip looks like?” Liu Qian brought Yun Chujiu to the side and asked in a low voice.
Yun Chujiu thought to herself, she was f*cking spouting nonsense!! How would she know what he looked like?!
She spouted more nonsense, “That person was wearing a mask. I did not see what he looked like, but there was a jade token hanging on his waist. There were strange patterns drawn on it, so I did not see it clearly.”
Liu Qian’s expression changed. Yun Chujiu noticed and she immediately revealed a shocked expression. “Sect leader Liu, could it be… could it be that your goatskin map was also bought from that person?”
Liu Qian hesitated for a moment. When he thought about it, sooner or later, this s.h.i.+ Ling would die, so there was no harm in talking about it. Thus, he said in a low voice, “That’s right. The person who gave me the map was exactly the same as you said. However, I saw that the jade plate on that person’s waist seemed to draw the pattern of the Red Spider Lily.”
Yun Chujiu slapped her thigh. “Oh my G.o.d! Now that you mention it, it really is the Red Spider Lily! That scoundrel! I didn’t expect him to lie to the two of us!”
Liu Qian felt a little uneasy. That person had promised him that as long as he found the treasure and gave it to that person, that person would be able to elevate the Goshawk Sect into a super sect that surpa.s.sed the four great sects. Moreover, he had consumed the medicinal pill that that person had given him, and his spiritual power had indeed increased by two levels immediately.
However, after hearing what s.h.i.+ Ling said, it seemed that that person did not trust him. If he had trusted him, he would not have sent this young man to search for treasure as well. What was the reason for that person to go through all this?
“Young hero s.h.i.+, I wonder what else that person said when he sold you the jade slip?”
Yun Chujiu’s heart skipped a beat. It was not easy to answer this question, as it might arouse the old man’s suspicion. She wanted to say something specious, so she said, “He said that he would appear after I obtained the item and that he would give me a surprise! Ptui! If I obtained the treasure inside, what else would I want from him? However, I now suspect that he was toying with me and cheating me of my Spirit Stones!”
Liu Qian frowned. He really could not understand what that person meant. Not only did this s.h.i.+ Ling have low spiritual power, but he also did not have any hints of shrewdness. Why did that person want to sell the map to him?
Liu Qian’s brain was hurting from thinking. He also could not understand that person’s intention. How would he know that Yun Chujiu was purely acting? Even if he racked his brain, he still could not understand it.
While Liu Qian was bewildered, Yun Chujiu’s heart was also in turmoil!
The last time, the fake master of the League of a.s.sa.s.sins had a jade token with the Red Spider Lily pattern engraved on it. She had never found any clues about it. She had not expected that she would discover this matter by accident.
Although Liu Qian didn’t say it, that person would not give him the map for no reason. It was likely that he was plotting something with the treasure. Could it be related to the Eye of the Earth?
