The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

However, Si Xuanji knew that he would also come to Jade Pass City, and since she gave her the Heavenly Returning Bell, it meant that, most likely, she wanted to lead him to this girl.

But here was the problem:

What was Si Xuanji\'s purpose in bringing him into contact with this girl? Was there anything special about her?

Ye Anping leaned on the counter and smiled. "Beautiful lady, my name is Liang Xiao Liu*, dare I ask what is your esteemed name?"

Su Waner had been in the black market for decades, and there was no shortage of people who wanted to come close to her. Almost every time she went out, she would encounter some boring people who came to flirt with her, so she had long been used to it.

At first, she didn\'t want to pay attention to Ye Anping, but after taking a look and seeing his handsome youthful face, she muttered to herself, ---Of all the people who have accosted me for more than ten years, this one is quite handsome.

Su Waner hugged her chest and smiled crookedly. "Aren\'t you too confident? A young cultivator in the middle stage of Foundation Building hitting on a female cultivator in the Core Formation stage, are you not afraid of angering me and making me slap you silly?"

"Haha..." Ye Anping smiled before replying, "What should I do if you look so beautiful? I\'m a man too. Is it wrong for a man to be romantic?"

"What a smooth talker." Su Waner pursed her lips, smiling. "Forget it. Because of your good looks, I will chat with you. I am Su Waner."

Hearing her name, Ye Anping raised his eyebrows slightly. He was just thinking about how to fish out the Immortal Thief. In this regard, he had just spent twenty spirit stones on water and roasted chicken, only to meet her here now.

So this was what she looked like?

When he saw her for the first time, the thought crossed his mind, but because of her current height and figure, he temporarily ruled out the idea that she was the Immortal Thief. But now, she said the name "Su Waner"...

Ye Anping glanced at Su Waner\'s figure.

---It must be padded.

Then, he said, "Hmm... Su Wan\'s traces were here, tired of looking for the elegant fragrance. What a good name."

"Do you also write poetry?" Su Waner narrowed her eyes. "What do these two lines of your poem mean, young master?"

"That, of course, is a compliment to Miss Su..."

While Ye Anping was speaking, Wu Guang at the counter couldn\'t bear to listen anymore and interrupted with twitching eyes. "If you want to talk, book a private room and chat leisurely upstairs. Make sure it is soundproof, then do whatever you want. My teahouse is still open."

"Ah, ha, ha." Ye Anping smiled awkwardly, then got serious and looked at Wu Guang. "I want to know about the recent events that happened in the desert."

Saying that, Ye Anping took out a small pouch of spirit stones from his storage bag and placed it on the counter.

Wu Guang took it, glanced at it briefly, and then immediately changed his previous expression of wanting to shoo away the guest and became more polite. "Well? What do you want to know about the desert events?"

Ye Anping glanced at Su Waner with his peripheral vision. Seeing that her attention was also attracted by the small bag of spirit stones he threw on the counter, he concluded that the fish was hooked.

"Any caravans gone missing in the desert recently?"

"Oh? Young Master is in the stealing gold business?"

Ye Anping narrowed his eyes and asked, "Isn\'t it against the rules to ask what I do?"

"You\'re right, I\'m sorry." Wu Guang apologized cupping his hands, then thought for a while. "Some time ago, contact with the Flowing Moon Guild was lost in the rocky valley to the east. Several groups of people have gone on their trails but haven\'t returned yet. I wonder what happened there."

"Some time ago... how long was it exactly?"

"I got the news seven days ago, but the people from the Guild have been missing for more than half a month."

"I see..."

Ye Anping nodded, finally having a clear understanding of the current situation.

It was like the previous incident with the Moon Shadow Sword Sect, which started with the rumor that Yun Tianchong was about to leave seclusion.

The Imperial Sect incident started when the large caravan of the Flowing Moon Guild

disappeared in the desert outside Jade Pass City.

According to the timeline, maybe tonight or in a few days, the beasts outside the Jade Pass would besiege the city under the lead of the Demon Clan.

At this time, in the game, players could go to the Jade Pass City\'s Defensive Fort and receive a series of quests from the City Lord to protect the city. There were very few rewards but quite a few plot kills.

However, even with the players\' help, the Jade Pass City in the game was eventually destroyed by the Demon Clan.

Ye Anping didn\'t plan to get involved in this matter.

He just needed to know where the events of the Imperial Sect were proceeding to now.

"Is there anything else you want to know?"

"Not right now. Inquiring for information was the second priority. The main thing was to get to know you. This small bag of spirit stones should be regarded as a meeting gift from me to the Jade Sand Pavilion."

Wu Guang grasped the opportunity of a long-term customer who seemed to be quite loaded, so he said, "Master Liang, it\'s an honor. If you need anything in the future, Jade Sand Pavilion is always at your service."

"Okay..."

"Anyway, I see that you are not short of money, and we happen to have a valuable thing here at the Jade Sand Pavilion. I wonder if you\'d be interested?"

"What is it?"

Wu Guang brought his face closer and whispered, "A pair of secondary gold pills from a late-stage Deification cultivator, which can be used to refine pills and weapons. If the young master is interested, I can help you contact the seller."

Speechless, Ye Anping raised his hand to stop him. "No need."

"Master Liang, that is the only pair in the world, you know? It\'s a one-of-a-kind item. Even if it\'s for your home collection, it will definitely retain its value. The starting price is two million spirit stones. It can be sold individually, so you should consider it, eh? Or, if you know anyone who wants to buy it, you can also introduce them to me..."

Listening to this sales pitch, Ye Anping sighed slightly, then suddenly noticed the sword placed on Wu Guang\'s counter.

It looked familiar...

Wasn\'t that Xiao Yunluo\'s sword?

Ye Anping was stunned for a moment, then suddenly everything clicked, and he couldn\'t help but glance at Su Waner who was standing aside. He finally had some idea of why she had Si Xuanji\'s Heavenly Returning Bell.

---She actually snatched Xiao Yunluo\'s sword in front of Si Xuanji?!

"..."

However, if Su Waner only snatched Xiao Yunluo\'s sword, Si Xuanji would not place the Heavenly Return Bell on her unless...

Did she step on Si Xuanji\'s tail? Called her old hag or something?

Ye Anping glanced again at Su Waner and felt some sympathy for her.

If she really called Si Xuanji an old woman, she would probably have a hard time for the rest of her life.

Si Xuanji was not the type of "if you mess with me, I will chop you off", but rather the type of "if you mess with me, I will make you beg me to chop you off".

She never settled her accounts face to face, but rather at a later time, at her own convenience, and was very vindictive.

Lei Wanjun of the Black Star Sect once called her "granny" while drinking, hundreds of years ago. After that, whenever there was trouble, no matter how big or small, Si Xuanji would send him to deal with it.

"Sigh..." Ye Anping sighed slightly and asked, "Is this sword for sale?"

"Of course, of course." Wu Guang\'s eyes lit up, and he spread his hand to invite him inside. "Let\'s go in and talk?"

"Hmm."

Ye Anping looked at Su Waner who was staring at him, smiled back, and followed Wu Guang to a wing room on the first floor of the teahouse, where they sat down to discuss the price.

Su Waner, who had been listening to them all this time, had a sly smile on her face and thought to herself, Hehe, here comes another big fat fish who doesn\'t understand the principle of \'not revealing one\'s wealth\'~~
