"Fellow Daoist, why have you stopped me?"
Chen Lin looked at the cultivator blocking his path, puzzlement in his eyes.
It was none other than Qiu Chenggang.
He had intended to approach the man to trade for his True Yang Precious Jade, but he had never acted on it, nor had they ever had any dealings. Why had the man suddenly sought him out?
Qiu Chenggang gave Chen Lin a cold look.
"Shouldn't I be asking you that? Why were you skulking around the Market, following me? Unless you give me a satisfactory explanation, don't expect to leave here alive today!"
With that, a palm-sized miniature flying sword appeared in his hand. A flash of light later, it became a chilling blade over two feet long.
It was actually a spiritual tool!
Chen Lin froze in surprise.
With so many people in the Market, the man had noticed his attention and even followed him here?
He was suspicious to a fault.
Still, this was a good opportunity. At that thought, Chen Lin hurriedly replied, "Please don't misunderstand, Fellow Daoist. I followed you only because I wanted to trade for the True Yang Precious Jade in your possession."
"The True Yang Precious Jade?"
Qiu Chenggang paused, then scrutinized Chen Lin for a while before putting away his flying sword.
He did not believe a cultivator in the mid Qi Refinement realm could pose a threat to him either. It was only that his current undertaking was far too important to allow the slightest carelessness. Otherwise, he would never have bothered.

An unusual gleam flashed
