A Promise! A Long-Term Investment!

Upon hearing Chen Changqing's question, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu smiled charmingly.

She didn't rush to answer Chen Changqing. Her jade-like fingers gently stroked the Treasure Box in the maid's hand, and then she looked at the crystal bottle that sealed the Samadhi True Fire.

Immediately afterwards, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu casually said:

"Young Master Li."

I can give you both of these items.

Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing was shocked, somewhat taken aback.

Upon hearing this, the Blood Butcher was greatly shocked, his face filled with disbelief.

It's important to know that the Treasure Box and the Samadhi True Fire that Chen Changqing acquired were no small sum.

The Treasure Box cost one thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

The final Samadhi True Fire, however, costs a staggering 830,000 Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

But now, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu actually said that she wanted to give these two items to Chen Changqing, which caught Blood Butcher completely off guard.

"Oh?"

After a slight pause, Chen Changqing feigned surprise, indicating that he hadn't expected this either.

After all, the total value of these two items is not just a few hundred or a thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones, but more than eight hundred thousand.

Such a large sum of money, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu actually said she would give it to him.

After a moment's hesitation, Chen Changqing regained his composure and smiled faintly:

"Miss Xuanyuan, these two free items probably aren't so easy to get, are they?"

What do you want me to do?

As he spoke, Chen Changqing looked at Xuanyuan Xiaoyu meaningfully.

He knew very well that he and Xuanyuan Xiaoyu were not related and their relationship was not particularly deep.

Since the other party is giving away such valuable items, they must have something in mind.

After Chen Changqing said that, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu smiled calmly and, without keeping him in suspense, replied directly:

My request is very simple.

All I need in return is a promise from you.

Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing frowned slightly:

"Promise?"

Xuanyuan Xiaoyu nodded and softly hummed in agreement:

"That's right."

"A promise that you'll help me once in the future."

As she spoke, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu's beautiful eyes narrowed, and she looked straight at Chen Changqing.

Chen Changqing didn't rush to give an answer; instead, he subconsciously thought of someone.

This person was none other than his senior sister, Liu Ruyan, whom he had met in the Outer Sect of Mount Shu.

Looking back, he was just a disciple guarding the mountain gate.

Later, I met Liu Ruyan.

Liu Ruyan valued him highly and helped him a lot.

After entering the Inner Sect, Liu Ruyan was directly selected by the Main Peak and entered Cloud Perch Peak, one of the Seven Main Peaks of Mount Shu, to cultivate.

Chen Changqing had also considered that Liu Ruyan's identity must be extraordinary.

Besides, the reason he values me so much is that he's investing in me, hoping that I'll be of help in the future.

Just as Chen Changqing was lost in thought, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu frowned slightly and called out in doubt, "Young Master Li?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing finally came to his senses and smiled at Xuanyuan Xiaoyu, saying:

"Good."

I promise you!

"If you ever need my help in the future, I can lend a hand!"

With that, Chen Changqing waved his hand lightly, revealing a Jade Pendant in his palm.

"This Jade Pendant contains a trace of my Divine Sense."

"If you want to find me, crush this thing, and I will come to meet you by following my senses!"

Chen Changqing handed the Jade Pendant to Xuanyuan Xiaoyu.

For him, being able to get the Treasure Box and Samadhi True Fire for free was the best thing ever.

As for Xuanyuan Xiaoyu, he found her quite pleasing to the eye.

Moreover, he had previously obtained the Essence Blood of the Vermilion Bird and the White Tiger from her, and with these two items, he successfully opened up two more Purple Mansions within her body.

Now, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu is going to exempt the Spirit Stones from the bidding for the Treasure Box and the Samadhi True Fire.

For Chen Changqing, this was an exceptionally large gain.

It would be reasonable to lend her a hand when the time comes.

Xuanyuan Xiaoyu didn't stand on ceremony and took the Jade Pendant directly from Chen Changqing's hand, smiling as she said:

"Young Master Li, then it's settled!"

"These two items are yours."

Chen Changqing nodded, and with a thought, he took the Treasure Box and the Samadhi True Fire into his Heaven-Stepping Ring.

"Miss Xuanyuan, see you again on the Nine Provinces Continent!"

After saying this, Chen Changqing didn't linger and got up to leave.

"Etc!"

Just then, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu suddenly shouted to stop her.

"Um?"

Chen Changqing paused, turned to look at Xuanyuan Xiaoyu, and asked, puzzled:

"How?"

"Is there anything else, Miss Xuanyuan?"

Xuanyuan Xiaoyu smiled slightly, stood up and walked to Chen Changqing. She tiptoed and breathed softly into his ear:

"Young Master Li, be careful of the Zhao Family."

Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing said calmly:

"Thank you for the reminder, Miss Xuanyuan."

Then, without lingering any longer, he got up and left.

Xuanyuan Xiaoyu looked at Chen Changqing's retreating figure with a meaningful expression, a faint smile playing on her lips.

After Chen Changqing left, Blood Butcher quickly looked at Xuanyuan Xiaoyu:

"Young Master."

"You..."

"That's over 800,000 Top-Grade Spirit Stones!"

Blood Butcher was stunned, his face full of wrinkles and bewilderment.

It's clear that Xuanyuan Xiaoyu values Chen Changqing highly.

But in Blood Butcher's eyes, Chen Changqing was very mysterious, and his talent and aptitude were exceptional.

Is it a bit excessive to go to such lengths to befriend him, even at such high costs?

The key point is that Chen Changqing offended Zhao Ritian in his bid for the Samadhi True Fire.

The Zhao Family is the head of the Four Great Families the Blood Moon World. Given Zhao Ritian's personality, he would definitely not let this matter rest.

If Chen Changqing dies at the hands of the Zhao Family, wouldn't all of Xuanyuan Xiaoyu's efforts be in vain?

Upon hearing what Blood Butcher said, Xuan Yuan smiled faintly, toying with the jade Jade Pendant Chen Changqing had given him.

"Elder Blood."

"Just consider it an investment."

At this point, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu paused, her expression suddenly becoming much more serious, and then continued:

"The time for our next entry into the Immortal Tomb is not far off."

I also need to plan ahead.

Upon hearing this, Blood Butcher glanced at Xuanyuan Xiaoyu, realizing that she had a long-term vision.

He paused for a moment, then said with a solemn expression:

"Young Master."

Aren't you worried that he won't even be able to leave this Blood Moon World?

Xuanyuan Xiaoyu Yu remained calm, naturally understanding the unspoken meaning behind Blood Butcher's words.

She has a long-term vision, but the trouble facing Chen Changqing right now is the Zhao Family, the head of the Four Great Families the Blood Moon World.

After a moment's thought, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu spoke:

"Elder Blood."

"If he can't even handle the Zhao Family."

"Even if I need his help in the future, what can he do for me?"

"Since it's an investment, there are risks involved."

As she spoke, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu turned her gaze and looked directly at Blood Butcher.

Blood Butcher froze, his lips trembling, but he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

Meanwhile, Chen Changqing had already arrived outside the auction venue.

"Fellow Daoist Li!"

Brother Li!

As soon as he stepped out of the venue, two shouts came from not far away.

Following the sound, Know-It-All and Chen Ye quickly approached.
