Splitting the Spoils: One for You, One for Me

Qi Zi·Fan had no idea how much pain Dongfang Jianyuan was in, but at this moment, his heart was racing!

After rushing out of the Treasure Vault, Su the Runner immediately unleashed her speed to the extreme, carrying herself out of the Three Saints City in a short time and hiding in a cave in the desolate wilderness.

They even set up several Concealment Formation around the area!

"Hurry, Zixiao!"

Su Muxue, not yet reverting to her original appearance, said excitedly, "Quickly take out the treasures, let's see what they are that the Three Saints City Auction House so well!"

Qi Zi·Fan remained silent, equally excited, as she retrieved all the treasures she had previously taken with the Five Colors Divine Light...

Not many, only eight items in total.

And at this moment, there is no light at all, as if all the special effects have 'disappeared'. But this is actually the result of being suppressed by the Five Colors Divine Light, and it is not a big problem.

Wow~

With a casual wave of her hand, Su Muxue restored the treasures to their original splendor, and the special effects were once again maximized. Each one radiated its own light and 'special effects,' which was quite astonishing.

"This is... Top-Grade Dao Artifact, the Star Chasing Bow!"

Su Muxue casually picked up one of the longbows and exclaimed in amazement, "Tens of thousands of years ago, a Star Chasing Senior suddenly appeared. His archery skills were unparalleled. As long as he created distance, even if you were one or two realms higher than him, you would be killed by him."

"With such power, the Star Chasing Bow deserves much credit!"

"Here you go."

"The most powerful ability of this Star Chasing Bow lies in the word 'chasing'. Once it locks onto a target, the arrows it fires will keep chasing the target."

"Either the enemy has been hit by an arrow, or the arrow has been destroyed!"

"It's a pity we're out of arrows, but it'll do you no harm in receiving them."

Without saying a word, Su Muxue immediately began to 'divide the spoils'.

The Star Chasing Bow is indeed powerful, but it's not very useful for Su Muxue right now. On the contrary, it's extremely beneficial to Qi Zi·Fan...

Before reaching the level of the third level of the game, if used well, this thing can almost allow you to challenge opponents of higher levels!

Even after reaching the Celestial Platform Third Order, long-range attacks remain extremely powerful, and this ability can be maintained even up to the Celestial Platform Fourth Order...

After that, the Star Chasing Bow became less useful.

However, Qi Zi·Fan is only at the Refining Void stage, and is still far from the Celestial Platform Fourth Order, so it is naturally a good treasure.

"Thank you, Uncle-Master."

Qi Zi·Fan happily accepted the Star Chasing Bow...

This stuff is great!

It can snipe people from a distance and even has a tracking function, which is much better than those 98K and Barrett.

"It's alright, it's alright."

Su Muxue casually waved her hand, then picked up the only jade stone among the remaining seven treasures and sensed it slightly...

"It's actually the White Tiger Art."

She clicked her tongue and said, "The cultivation method of the White Tiger, one of the Four Divine Beasts, is indeed extremely valuable, but unfortunately it's useless to us..."

"Take it back and throw it into the Scripture Pavilion."

Then...

Su Muxue picked and chose for a while.

"The Void Sky Cauldron? This thing is great for refining weapons, and it can also be used to smash people. Zixiao, do you like it? If you like it, it's yours."

"..."

"Uncle-Master, you should accept it. I have no interest in weapon crafting."

"That's true. Although we... well, using a cauldron to smash people isn't our style as women!"

"The Judge's Brush..."

"This thing is not bad. When combined with a specific method of cultivating the soul, it can indeed kill whoever it is. Unfortunately, this thing can only be used against those weaker than oneself. It is basically useless against those stronger than oneself, since those stronger also have stronger souls..."

"Do you want it or not? If not, take it back and throw it into the Treasure Vault, let the disciples exchange it themselves."

"This... is not very useful, so let's just keep it."

Weaker than myself?

Qi Zi·Fan said that he didn't need this thing if he was weaker than himself, so what use was it?

Do you really need to specifically cultivate that Divine Sense cultivation method, and then, with a pen in one hand and a book in the other, go and show off?

You guys are disobedient?

If I write your names, you're all doomed!

But the problem is, how can you feel any sense of accomplishment if you can only show off in front of people with weaker cultivation levels? No way!

You can take this!

Su Muxue took out the flying sword that floated on its own. "Profound Sky Sword, Top-Grade Dao Artifact... Back then, its owner also made a name for himself. It's a pity... things have changed, tsk tsk tsk."

"This Profound Sky Sword is extremely fast and has some special abilities that are in harmony with heaven and earth. I don't know the specifics, so you can figure it out yourself."

"I reckon your own flying sword is no match for this one..."

"I dare not refuse such a gift from an elder, so I will accept it." Qi Zi·Fan accepted the Profound Sky Sword and said with a hint of embarrassment.

Seeing this, Su Muxue laughed out loud, "Good, good, good, I like you, child. You clearly want it, but you still say that you dare not refuse an elder's gift, as if I'm forcing you to take it... You have the same style as me back then, so good~!"

Qi Zi·Fan was slightly embarrassed. "..."

"These remaining items... are of good value, but they're useless to both of us. Oh well, I'll just put them all away and take them back to my Treasure Vault."

Su Muxue smiled happily as she put away the remaining treasures.

But this made Qi Zi·Fan a little curious.

Why?!

Why bother?!

Su Muxue went to such great lengths, even taking on such a huge case and taking such a great risk...

They robbed so many treasures, but they didn't keep a single one for themselves, instead taking them all back to their sect?

this...

Qi Zi·Fan suddenly realized that she must have misunderstood this 'former Purple Mansion Demoness '.

Yes, she's a real rip-off, an absolute disaster.

To outsiders, she would probably be the kind of person who does all sorts of evil.

But in reality, she was doing it for her own sect...

What noble character and integrity!

"Are you thinking, 'I'm not getting any benefits, so why should I take such a big risk to rob someone?'"

Su Muxue seemed to see through Qi Zi·Fan's thoughts and asked with a smile.

"I am somewhat curious..."

Qi Zi·Fan nodded, thinking that Su Muxue would then launch into a long lecture, emphasizing her deep affection for the sect, having grown up there, and so on...

But the result.

Su Muxue grinned. "What I care about is the process, you understand?"

The outcome is not important.

"If I don't do something, I feel uncomfortable all over. After doing something, I feel refreshed and in a good mood."

"..."

Qi Zi·Fan rolled her eyes.

Have to!

I misunderstood you!

Sure enough, this guy is a real con artist; he can't feel right unless he's ripping people off!

I can't afford to mess with them.

But then I thought about it again, and another problem arose.

"Hey, Uncle-Master."

"Um?"

"We've been so reckless in our actions within the Three Saints City, and while some unlucky souls have become scapegoats, aren't we afraid of being found out?"

"Found me?"

Su Muxue's lips curled slightly. "Them? Dream on!"

"Do you really think I picked up my reputation as Su the Runner by chance?"

"Besides, even if they trace it back to you or me, so what?"

"First of all, I don't show my true face, and secondly... isn't it perfect that I found you?"

"Huh?" Qi Zi·Fan was a little confused.

It would be even better if they found me?

What's the logic behind this?

"Don't you understand?"

Su Muxue said earnestly, "Zixiao, in the future, my name will ultimately be inherited by you!"

"Even if we find you now, we're not afraid!"

"On the contrary, it can actually help you gain fame in advance, which is entirely beneficial to you!"

"!!!!"

Qi Zi·Fan vomited blood.

It's all benefits and no harm whatsoever!

In the end, am I the biggest scapegoat in this relationship?!

"Besides, it's no use even if we hide our heads and tails."

Su Muxue shook her head and said, "Look, the Star Chasing Bow and the Profound Sky Sword are both in your hands. You'll need them eventually, won't you?"

"If you use it, wouldn't you expose yourself? So..."

Don't take it to heart!

"Now that you mention it, it is indeed true..."

"Of course!"

"Would I lie to a child like you?" Su Muxue smiled. "Besides, there's one more important point!"

"We went into the Treasure Vault to get the Fire of Separation Metal and the Water Metal Flame! Right?"

"Mmm-hmm."

Qi Zi·Fan nodded repeatedly.

"That's right!"

"Look! We've entered the Treasure Vault, with so many treasures right in front of us. We can't just ignore them and leave empty-handed, can we?"

"Your martial uncle isn't blind, I really can't do it!"

"Furthermore, entering Treasure Vault and not taking any treasures is a sin deserving of divine punishment!"

What a stroke of lightning...

Qi Zi·Fan ashamed.

But before he could even utter those words, someone else spoke them for him.

"What a 'struck by lightning'!"

"Su Muxue, after all these years, you're still as shameless as ever!"

Boom!

The sealed entrance to the cave suddenly exploded.

Su Muxue's expression changed slightly. In a flash, she stood in front of Qi Zi·Fan, her eyes narrowed as she looked out of the cave...

Qi Zi·Fan couldn't help but roll her eyes.

What happened to the promise that no one could catch up with them?

However, he didn't say anything and just watched quietly.

With a wave of his sleeves, smoke and dust drifted away, and a figure entered through the cave entrance.

He was a Scholar- like man, holding a folding fan, who floated in gracefully.

Seeing this, Su Muxue became even more vigilant, her True Essence surging, ready to strike at any moment.

"How?"

The Scholar stopped, opened and closed his folding fan, and chuckled, "You tricked me terribly back then, and you don't recognize me?"

"And I just covered your retreat..."

"Even if you don't stop, they still won't be able to find me. And even if they do find me, what can they do?"

Su Muxue pursed her lips, no longer so wary. "I wondered who it was, it's you, you brute."

"What? You've been a brute your whole life, and now that you're old, you want to pretend to be a scholar? But you're not cut out for it..."

"Your mouth... is still as sharp-tongued as ever."

The Scholar smiled, his gaze sweeping over Qi Zi·Fan behind Su Muxue, then pausing slightly at the halo behind Qi Zifan's head and the Sky Gazing Mirror at his waist.
