Rather than making an enemy of them, it's better to go along with their wishes, offer help, and even make friends!
With this in mind, Nalan Yan lowered her guard a little, and her gaze toward Xie Feng softened considerably.
Seeing Xie Feng knew perfectly well that the girl had been manipulated, so he smiled and asked, "Do you believe me?"
What he didn't tell her was that a Universe Level sword was nothing special; he also had a Universe Level Dark Ink Fan!
Nalan Yan stared at him with her bright eyes, slowly nodded, and obediently said, "I believe you!"
Xie Feng said, "Do you remember the information I told you about Jin Yue before?"
"Remember."
Go find her now!
"Good."
Nalan Yan obeyed Xie Feng's orders. Xie Feng then absorbed the Northern Nether Heaven-Subduing Fire into his body. Nalan Yan then went to the metal sphere and, following the basic information about Jin Yue that Xie Feng had given him, performed a series of operations.
Xie Feng wasn't idle either. He stood next to her, hands behind his back, watching her movements intently while his mind silently pondered the deeper logic.
He has an advantage that others cannot match: he is good at self-learning and can quickly master what he wants to learn!
The operating principle of the Divine Secrets Pavilion, in layman's terms, is to divine fortune and destiny. By using instruments and information collection, it calculates various "paths" to ultimately find people.
Most importantly, during Nalan Yan's calculations, a faint energy lingered around him, Xie Feng to guess that he must have used some kind of Cultivation Method.
This Cultivation Method is extremely important. Without Cultivation Method, it is impossible to perform calculations. If the Cultivation Method is strong enough, one can basically complete the calculations independently without the aid of instruments!
Xie Feng was quite curious about this Cultivation Method...
Xie Feng's undisguised gaze was noticed by Nalan Yan, but she did not deliberately hide it; in fact, she let him see it openly.
Xie Feng smiled, "Aren't you afraid I'll steal your skills?"
"Stealing techniques? Haha, you're way too confident in yourself!"
Nalan Yan burst into laughter.
This is a skill!
Even if a complete novice watches it a hundred times, they still won't learn it!
She started learning at the age of five and has been learning for twenty years!
He was even hailed as a genius that the Divine Secrets Pavilion saw only once in a millennium!
Others studied for fifty or sixty years, or even hundreds of years, before they could barely reach her level. This is why she stood out from hundreds of disciples and was chosen as their personal disciple.
Xie Feng saw this and couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
Young people, you're still too young!
No matter how complicated the other party's technique is, once he sees it, he will basically never forget it.
Now, if he learns the Cultivation Method, Divine Secrets Pavilion will have a formidable opponent to challenge them!
However, although this girl has a fiery temper, she is quite honest. Her emotions are always on her face, and she is not scheming. He likes to deal with people like her; they make him feel relaxed.
Time passed quickly. Nalan Yan continued operating, but a layer of sweat appeared on his fair forehead. This was because, for such a long time, not only had the sword hilt remained motionless, but the illusory screen had also remained silent.
She frowned slightly, examined the area carefully, and after confirming that there was indeed no information there, shook her head.
"I'm operating the equipment without any problems, and the instruments are working fine, but there's no sign of Jin Yue. This can only mean one thing!"
Xie Feng asked, "What?"
Nalan Yan stated firmly, " Jin Yue is not in the Fifth Universe!"
Upon hearing this news, Xie Feng inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief. His absence seemed like good news! His presence, on the contrary, would have been a cause for concern.
Xie Feng sighed, "It's better that he's not here!"
Nalan Yan said, "She might be in another universe."
Xie Feng said, "Please keep a close eye out, Miss Nalan. If you spot her, please let me know!"
"You seem quite concerned about her?" Nalan Yan revealed a gossipy smile. "But do you know her story? She was proposed to by the Phoenix Lord Peak of Heaven. You're not Feng Yan, yet you're so concerned—tsk, something's up!"
Xie Feng shrugged. "Guess whatever you want!"
Nalan Yan stared intently at him. " Jin Yue is so outstanding, the boys who pursue her lined up from Returning Moon City to Peak of Heaven, it's understandable that you like her! But she already had someone she loved, it's a pity that her beloved died young."
" Feng Xuan?"
"This person will never appear again in the Fifth Universe. He's incredibly legendary! Oh dear, this is a secret. I don't want to lose money telling you this since you didn't pay me!"
Nalan Yan pouted, cutting her losses in time.
Xie Feng chuckled.
Nalan Yan's eyes darted around, and he asked, "I can help keep an eye on Jin Yue, but how can I contact you afterwards?"
Xie Feng tossed over a sound transmission talisman, which Nalan Yan caught. After thinking for a moment, he opened his palm and held it out to Xie Feng.
"??"
"I never said I'd help you find Jin Yue for free. The search fee, plus the compensation for the emotional distress caused by your trespassing on the Cocoon Tower and threatening me, totals fifty million. Pay me back!"
Nalan Yan glared at him angrily, his domineering demeanor Dao of Hegemony no argument.
Xie Feng spread his hands. "No money!"
Nalan Yan ground his back teeth. "If you don't have money, you have to stay and work!"
Xie Feng said, "No time!"
Nalan Yan: "..."
Xie Feng's eyes darted around, and he took out a piece of paper and tossed it over. Nalan Yan grabbed it in confusion, his eyes widening instantly. "The bounty order for Spirit Martyrdom City! You... you're Xie Feng?!"
Xie Feng teased, "What, is there something Miss Divine Secrets Pavilion doesn't know?"
"There are so many people, I'm exhausted every day, how can I possibly know everything!" Nalan Yan complained. "Why did you give me the bounty token?"
Xie Feng raised an eyebrow. "You want money, don't you? Look at the bounty above!"
Nalan Yan's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but read the words aloud, "Capture alive, fifty million strands of Emperor's Fortune; seize alive, one hundred million strands of Emperor's Fortune!"
Xie Feng chuckled, "The one hundred million one, are you tempted? You cooperate with me, hand me over to the Spirit Martyrdom City, and after receiving one hundred million Emperor's Fortune, we'll split it 50/50!"
Nalan Yan looked at the bounty notice again, somewhat undecided. After thinking for a moment, she shook her head and said, "Although I'm very tempted by this money, one must have basic morals. The people of Spirit Martyrdom City are cunning and ruthless; they're a den of villains! I won't do that!"
Xie Feng smiled, "I didn't realize you were so quick to condemn evil."
Nalan Yan rolled her eyes. "That's just the kind of person I am. I can't stand the wickedness of the world! I went to that damned hellhole, Spirit Martyrdom City, once and almost got ripped off. I've never liked it since!"
Xie Feng said, "Don't worry, since I said it, I know what I'm doing. If I can go in safely, I can come out safely too. Have you forgotten I have a Universe Level sword? In short, if you want money, we'll go; if not, I'll find someone else!"
Nalan Yan thought about it and agreed!
Xie Feng said, "There's no time to lose, let's go to the Spirit Martyrdom City now!!"
Nalan Yan said, "I still have work to do!"
Xie Feng said, "Don't worry about such a trivial matter!"
Nalan Yan was persuaded, "Alright!"
