100: "Cash" ability

Xu Xi, a genius of such caliber, possesses outstanding strength, but if he wishes to contend with Ru Xuan experts, he can only rely on his trump cards to preserve his life.

Xie Qingzhou didn't expect the other party to solve the problem; he simply wanted someone to confide in to ease his mind.

Moreover, if Xu Xi could inform the Purple Cloud Sect's guardian elders about this matter, there might still be a chance for a turnaround, successfully obtaining the antidote before the Gu worm fully erupted and saving his Junior Apprentice Brother.

“It really is a Gu worm, then considering the reaction of my mother Gu worm just now, it must be my child Gu worm.”

“Liu Xuanfeng even placed Gu worm on the Zhao Dynasty, and so precisely on the Emperor’s illegitimate son. Is his Xiaoyao Sect’s layout that far-reaching?”

“The scope is inexplicably becoming grander.”

After patiently listening to Xie Qingzhou’s words, although some details were omitted, Xu Xi could guess what had happened.

However, regarding the Gu worm in Xie Qingzhou’s Junior Apprentice Brother’s body, Xu Xi felt inexplicably awkward.

The mother Gu worm of that Gu worm was currently in his hands, and it might even be able to alleviate the harm caused by the Gu worm.

It was just that Xu Xi couldn't reveal it now.

Moreover, Xu Xi had heard clearly that the child Gu worm had evolved, which might be why the mother Gu worm didn't give a warning when they first came into contact.

“So, that means the people from the Purple Cloud Sect are very likely with the Right Prime Minister of the Zhao Dynasty, correct?”

“Are they in Ying Province or just near Ziyuan City?”

“The Juefeng Secret Realm is opening; they wouldn’t travel such a long distance back and forth. Most likely in Ziyuan City?”

Having some guesses about the current location of the four Purple Cloud Sect disciples, Xu Xi believed it could only be these two places.

Furthermore, Xu Xi leaned towards the second option.

With the Juefeng Secret Realm about to open, the people of the Ying Province Dynasty wouldn't disregard the opportunities within it like those top talents from the Central Plains, and they definitely wouldn't send people elsewhere.

“That’s right, they must still be in Ziyuan City, but they are deeply hidden and will not show themselves before the Juefeng Secret Realm opens.”

“And after the Secret Realm opens, it will probably be too late. Ye Gou won’t last until then.”

“The Gu worm is constantly invading his body. When the Secret Realm opens, he will be forever lost here. Otherwise, we could have gone to the Central Plains to seek medicine, instead of coming here to find a slim chance.”

As he answered, Xie Qingzhou’s expression was clearly somewhat tragic, increasingly pessimistic about the matter, and with a hint of resignation.

“No big deal, I have connections, alright?”

“Who do you think I am?”

Facing these difficulties, Xu Xi didn’t find them hard to solve.

Wasn't Luan Ji, whom he met in Ziyuan City before, an excellent information gatherer?

By asking him, Xu Xi could easily get the information he wanted.

Although the other party indulged in women daily, he had been here for so long and was full of confidence, claiming to know everything. He would never boast.

“Just find him and it’s done. Anyway, at that time, it’s Senior Apprentice Yi Zhusheng’s face that will be used. What does it have to do with me, Xu Xi?”

“Just follow me. I’ll help you find the Right Prime Minister’s people, and you’ll be responsible for handing over the Purple Cloud Sect’s people to me. I’m giving you a chance to prove yourself.”

“As for the matter of your Junior Apprentice Brother’s Gu worm, I will also resolve it.”

Smiling confidently, Xu Xi, now that he had a lead, immediately set out to solve it, walking forward without further ado and signaling Xie Qingzhou and the others to follow.

“Does Senior Apprentice Yi really have a way?”

“Roufu, let’s go, follow him!”

Seeing Xu Xi’s confidence, Xie Qingzhou’s face lit up, and his tightly furrowed brows relaxed once more.

He picked up the unconscious Ye Gou, then called Roufu, and together they followed behind Xu Xi, their steps much lighter, unlike the heavy ones from before.

Subsequently, Roufu, who had been silent all along, also showed a hint of a smile on her face.

“Ding, Roufu’s favorability +10.”

As expected, another increase in favorability. Although it wasn't targeting a weakness, such help would make anyone feel more favorably towards Xu Xi.

Weaknesses were merely to allow Xu Xi to better conquer Roufu and reach 100 favorability faster.

Not targeting weaknesses could also lead to an increase in favorability.

The group of four walked quickly, arriving at Ziyuan City in an instant.

But at their previous location, the Absolute Peak Mountain Range, Xu Xi and his group were inevitably noticed by others.

Since the Right Prime Minister of the Zhao Dynasty could send people to kidnap the Purple Cloud Sect members, he had naturally made thorough preparations.

Knowing the actions of Xu Xi and his group, he had long prepared countermeasures, waiting for Xu Xi to fall into the trap… “Hmm?”

“Brother Yi, why have you returned? Have you finished your business?”

“I told you long ago, come and have some fun first! Look at you, you finished your business so quickly. You should have been happy first before doing business.”

“Perhaps, it could even increase efficiency.”

In Ziyuan City, Xu Xi and his group had already found Luan Ji. Looking at the unrestrained and bold Luan Ying Four Sons, Xie Qingzhou behind Xu Xi was fine, having seen such scenes before.

However, Roufu behind him blushed.

You didn’t say the meeting would be like this, almost to the point of taking off all your clothes.

“Why are you blushing?”

“As a young lady, shouldn’t you be used to such things by now?”

Noticing Roufu’s flushed face, Luan Ji couldn’t help but smile. He didn’t think it was his exposed upper body that made Roufu shy.

Instead, it was because beside Luan Ji and his three brothers, there were also maidservants entwined with them, wriggling and flirting, dressed extremely revealingly, practically bare-chested.

“It’s not too late to have some fun now.”

“However, before that, it’s important to discuss serious matters first.”

“Brother Luan, didn’t you say you were very familiar with the current situation in Ziyuan City? I’m asking about a group of people. Have the Zhao Dynasty from Ying Province arrived, and where are they now?”

Following Luan Ji’s words, Xu Xi immediately stated his purpose after a compliment.

At the same time, he took out some spirit stones and placed them on the table, not wanting the other party to help for free.

“No need for spirit stones, Brother Yi. Next time you look for us, just bring more women.”

“That quiet girl behind you probably isn’t much fun either, so forget it this time.”

Pushing back the spirit stones Xu Xi had placed on the table, Luan Ji didn’t care for them.

As prodigies of the Xuanyin Sect in the Central Plains, spirit stones were just numbers to them.

What were Luan Ji and his brothers interested in?

It was women!

However, Roufu, whom Xu Xi had brought back today, was too dull and didn’t fit Luan Ji’s ideal type. Otherwise, Xu Xi and the Luan Ying Four Sons might have had an argument today, ending inconclusively.

His lewd gaze swept over Roufu, a hint of amusement flashing before quickly turning to boredom.

After a brief reminder to Xu Xi, he continued:

“Zhao Dynasty? Why look for them? A bunch of ants.”

“They are at the Zhe Xian Residence, but I haven’t paid attention to their movements recently, so they might have moved.”

Casually stating the Zhao Dynasty’s location, Luan Ji was very well-informed about such news.
