Finding Master

Xue Fuyao watched that menial disciple take the cultivation resources and turn to run.

Actually, she should have silenced her for such a matter.

In her past life, she had knocked about the Cultivation Realm for many years, knowing deeply that for a matter like this, only dead people would keep a secret.

It was just that the Yuanji Sect forbade disciples from killing each other; not just the Yuanji Sect, all sects and lineages forbade killing each other, at least not bringing the matter out into the open.

The second reason was that this person might still have hidden something.

After going through this matter, Xue Fuyao lost the interest to continue strolling and turned to look for Gu Nian.

Meanwhile, behind her, Ye Qinxuan, who had gone and returned, looked at her retreating back with deep eyes.

She arrived at a shop selling pills.

This shop was opened by Alchemy Peak, and the items sold inside were all pills refined by the disciples of Alchemy Peak. Because the qualities varied, the prices were also relatively cheap, and many disciples liked to come here to buy pills.

"Senior Sister."

When Xue Fuyao searched her way over, she saw Gu Nian bargaining with a young man wearing light-gold Daoist robes.

Hearing Xue Fuyao's voice, Gu Nian changed her expression in a second and waved at her with a smile, "It's Fuyao. Are you done strolling?"

Xue Fuyao nodded, "Done strolling."

Gu Nian pulled Xue Fuyao to her side, "Do you want to head back? Wait for Senior Sister for a moment, Senior Sister will send you back in a bit."

With that, Gu Nian's expression changed, and she looked at the young man opposite and said, "Chu Yunzhe, look at how rugged and bumpy the shape of this pill is. How do you have the face to sell it so dearly!"

Faced with Gu Nian's questioning, Chu Yunzhe's thoughts were no longer on the pills, but instead on Xue Fuyao, who was standing obediently and prettily to the side.

"This must be the little disciple Junior Uncle Lingmu took in."

Xue Fuyao smiled politely, slightly cupped her hands, and said, "Fuyao greets Senior Brother Chu."

"It's still Junior Sister Fuyao who knows her manners, unlike certain people who are out of line. Alright, for the junior sister's sake, the price of that pill will be as you said, but let this be an exception."

Hearing this, Gu Nian let out a hum, "Wouldn't it have been fine if you agreed earlier? You're wasting my time!"

As she spoke, Gu Nian pulled Xue Fuyao and walked outside.

Being pulled along, Xue Fuyao looked back behind her and saw Chu Yunzhe looking at them leaving with a gentle smile on his face.

Tsk tsk tsk, truly worthy of being the divine pair that people throughout the Cultivation Realm would envy in the future.

However, judging from the way the two interacted just now, it was more like a pair of bickering lovers.

Gu Nian sent her back to Green Bamboo Peak before turning around and flying toward her own cave abode.

Having returned to Green Bamboo Peak, Xue Fuyao first went back to her cave abode and took out the previous Demon-Suppressing Bracelet to begin studying it.

A streak of golden trace suddenly appeared on her forehead, and as that trace gradually expanded, it slowly turned into an eye brimming with divinity.

With the aid of the Heavenly Eye, Xue Fuyao looked at the Demon-Suppressing Bracelet once more.

This time, she finally was no longer unable to see anything. Beneath that rugged and bumpy exterior, she saw the true appearance of the Demon-Suppressing Bracelet: it was pitch-black all over, carved with hollowed-out patterns, dotted with red rubies, and had a style with a black twisted-wire bracelet inside, as if two different bracelets were superimposed together.

She also saw that inside this Demon-Suppressing Bracelet, one red and one blue speck of light were constantly colliding and moving, as if they were fighting.

Those were succubi, or rather, they were the supreme charm bones left behind by two succubi.

Withdrawing the Heavenly Eye, Xue Fuyao's brows furrowed tightly as she pondered how to deal with this bracelet.

She wanted to keep the Demon-Suppressing Bracelet; after all, although this was not a Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Treasure, it was just like a Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Treasure in that it was not a treasure born from forging.

However, the two pieces of supreme charm bones inside were not something she could handle right now, yet if these two pieces of supreme charm bones could not be handled properly, this Demon-Suppressing Bracelet could only remain an ordinary bracelet.

Moreover, there was another matter, and that was that this bracelet had three unstable factors: one was that menial disciple-since she could know so much inside information, her identity probably was not forged; the other two were Ye Qinxuan and Ye Qinfei.

According to the memories of her past life, these two likely absorbed the two pieces of supreme charm bones, which was why they became the way they were in her past life.

The problem now was that she had no idea whether the two of them fighting over the bracelet earlier was accidental, or if they knew the special nature of this bracelet.

If it was the latter, they certainly would not let the matter rest. In case they found that they could not get it themselves and spread word of this matter abroad, unless Xue Fuyao never left the Yuanji Sect for her entire life, otherwise...

Perhaps by that time, even the Yuanji Sect would not be absolutely safe.

After thinking in place for a long time, Xue Fuyao finally made up her mind, picked up the Demon-Suppressing Bracelet, and walked outside.

Arriving all the way at the peak of Green Bamboo Peak, she caught sight of Master sitting cross-legged on a stone at a glance.

Seeing Master with closed eyes, Xue Fuyao knew that cultivators could not be disturbed while cultivating, otherwise it was easy for them to suffer a deviation in cultivation; thus, when entering seclusion, cultivators often filled the surroundings of their cave abode with various arrays precisely to prevent anyone from entering.

Xue Fuyao found a spot nearby to sit down and waited for Master to wake up.

Xie Yichu had already sensed Xue Fuyao the moment she arrived, only he did not know what business his little disciple had coming to find him so late, so he kept his eyes closed and waited for the little disciple to call out to him.

As a result, he waited and waited, only to see the little disciple find a clean stone for herself not far from him, and starting to sit cross-legged in imitation of his appearance.

Xie Yichu: ...

Helplessly, he had to speak up first.

"What brings you to find Your Master?"

Hearing the voice, Xue Fuyao opened her eyes instantly. After getting down from the stone, she walked over to Xie Yichu in a few steps and asked, "Master, have you ever heard of succubi and supreme charm bones?"

Hearing Xue Fuyao's question, Xie Yichu frowned slightly, "Who did you hear that from?"

"It was in the market today that I ran into..."

Xue Fuyao recounted the events in the market from beginning to end.

"At first I only thought it was just ordinary sisters not seeing eye to eye, which was why they fought over that unremarkable-looking bracelet. But later on, another menial disciple came wanting to buy the bracelet from my hands.

I sensed something was amiss and coerced her a bit, after which I gave her some cultivation resources, and she told me what she knew."

As she spoke, Xue Fuyao took out the Demon-Suppressing Bracelet.

Xie Yichu took the Demon-Suppressing Bracelet, observed it carefully, and said, "From the outside, this is just the most ordinary, inferior bracelet."

Xue Fuyao nodded, "I felt the same way, but it is better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't, just in case it's real."

Looking at Xue Fuyao's sparkling eyes, Xie Yichu said, "You want the supreme charm bones?"
