319: Um, my name is Sand Sable.
Seeing the Woman in Black Dress leave, Night Owl said to Gu Chen and the others, "Since the Ruins won't open until tomorrow, let's meditate and adjust our breathing to maintain our Peak condition."
"Mm-hmm."
"Alright."
Gu Chen and his companions nodded and prepared to sit cross-legged on the ground to meditate.
However, just as they sat down, before they could cross their legs to meditate, two handsome men and women wearing yellow robes, both at the Saint Emperor Late Stage, walked over with beaming smiles.
"Fellow Daoists, are you also entering the Ancient Pill Sect Ruins? Why don't we form a team? After all, there is strength in numbers," the man asked Night Owl and his companions, cupping his hands with a smile.
Seeing that the man had already spoken, the woman nodded beside him and also cupped her hands toward Night Owl and his companions, saying, "Mm-hmm, my brother is right. Fellow Daoists, although this Ancient Pill Sect Secret Realm has countless treasures, it is also extremely dangerous. If we can work together, the chance of obtaining treasures will greatly increase."
After speaking, the two looked at Night Owl and his companions with hopeful expressions.
Of course, they were primarily looking at Night Owl, Gu Chen, and Mu Xueqing.
Because the two siblings had specifically approached Night Owl and the three of them.
After all, given their cultivation at the Saint Emperor Late Stage, they couldn't see through the three, meaning those three must be Quasi-Emperor level Experts.
Therefore, their targets for forming a team were primarily Night Owl and the three of them.
Although there were many Cultivators coming to the Ancient Pill Sect Ruins this time, it was rare for Quasi-Emperors to lead Saint Emperors and Saint Kings.
Usually, the cultivation levels were the same Realm, and teams with disparate cultivation levels rarely appeared.
The fact that Night Owl and his companions, Quasi-Emperors, were leading Saint Kings and Saint Emperors, showed that they didn't care about their teammates' cultivation levels. If they could team up with Night Owl and his companions, they would have several Quasi-Emperor backers inside the Ancient Pill Sect, which was much better than teaming up with other Saint Emperors.
"Oh? Forming a team?" Hearing the two speak, Night Owl and his companions paused.
The eight of them had never thought about forming a team.
Moreover, even if they were to form a team, it would be with Quasi-Emperor level Experts. Saint Emperors like these two were of little use to them.
Night Owl recovered his senses and gave Gu Chen a look, signaling him to refuse the two, lest they disturb their meditation.
Gu Chen received the look, nodded, and was just about to refuse aloud.
The man who had spoken immediately began weeping bitterly, "Fellow Daoists, please be merciful and team up with us! We are entering the Ancient Pill Sect Ruins this time only to find an ancient detoxification pill for our poisoned Revered Master."
"As long as you Fellow Daoists team up with us, no matter what we obtain inside, we only want this detoxification pill, and everything else will go to you Fellow Daoists."
"Wuu wuu, our Revered Master really can't hold on much longer. Several beautiful little sisters, please help this older sister and persuade your Senior Brothers to agree to team up with us siblings?" The woman beside him also began to sob softly, looking pitifully at Qin Fei'er and the other girls, hoping they would soften their hearts and convince Night Owl and his companions.
After all, Night Owl and his companions were Quasi-Emperors, so the decision power for forming a team must surely be in their hands.
Although the clothes they wore were different colors, the styles were the same, so they definitely belonged to the same Force. Therefore, if they could persuade Qin Fei'er and the others, this attempt to cling to a powerful team would be halfway to success.
"This...?"
Seeing two Saint Emperor Late Stage Experts suddenly start crying and pleading pitifully, Night Owl and his companions were utterly baffled.
One must know these were Saint Emperor Experts! A man's tears are not shed lightly. For a dignified Saint Emperor Late Stage Expert to cry and plead pitifully just to form a team, it truly redefined their understanding of what an Expert was.
"Senior Brother Ye, Senior Brother Gu, Senior Sister Mu, what should we do about this?" Qin Fei'er reacted and asked, feeling slightly bewildered.
Huyan Xiaoyao, Feng Xiaoxiao, and the other girls also looked blankly at Night Owl and the three of them, waiting for their decision.
As for the woman feigning pity and asking them to persuade Night Owl and the three, they certainly wouldn't actually advise them. Whether or not to team up with the two still depended on the will of Night Owl and the three.
Hearing Qin Fei'er's question.
Night Owl, Gu Chen, and Mu Xueqing exchanged glances and finally decided to team up with the two.
Of course, they agreed to team up with the two not because they were moved by their pitiful act, but because the two had said they only wanted one type of detoxification pill, and everything else obtained would go to them.
This meant that as long as that specific Medicinal Pill wasn't found, the two siblings' trip to the Ruins would essentially be them working as free labor for the group.
Therefore, they would not refuse such free labor delivered right to their doorstep.
After the three finished their discussion.
Night Owl glanced indifferently at the two and said, "Alright, you two stop crying. After discussion among us, we agree to team up with you. However, you must remember the condition you mentioned, or you won't be able to leave the Ruins."
Seeing Night Owl agree to form a team.
The two immediately showed excited smiles and nodded like little chicks pecking rice, saying:
"Ah, yes, yes, we siblings will definitely abide by our promise and only take that detoxification pill."
"Mm-hmm, Fellow Daoists, please rest assured. Besides that detoxification pill, we siblings absolutely will not secretly keep any other Medicinal Pills."
Looking at their excited expressions, Gu Chen, who was next to Night Owl, suddenly remembered something and asked somewhat suspiciously, "Which method did you two use to enter the Ruins? You didn't enter by paying nothing and risking your lives, only agreeing to take nothing but one detoxification pill, right?"
Hearing Gu Chen's words, Night Owl and his companions also stared at the siblings.
If the two entered this way, the Three Major Forces certainly would have countermeasures and would not allow those who entered without paying anything to transfer Medicinal Pills to those who paid Spirit Stones and treasures to enter.
In other words, if the two entered by risking their lives, their previous promise would be useless, because the Three Major Forces would not allow such a basic mistake to occur and compromise their interests.
Facing Gu Chen's inquiry.
The brother and sister understood Gu Chen's concerns and quickly waved their hands in reply, "Fellow Daoists, you worry too much. Although we siblings are Saint Emperors, our Revered Master is very wealthy. We can certainly afford the Spirit Stones required to enter the Ruins."
"Mm-hmm, Fellow Daoists, please rest assured. Our Revered Master was poisoned, and since we couldn't find an Antidote outside, we thought of entering the Ruins to try our luck. We absolutely have no intention of calculating against any of you."
After speaking, the two looked at Night Owl and his companions with sincerity. To make them believe, they even took out the Token Certificates representing the entrance fee, which finally dispelled the doubts of Night Owl and his companions.
"Alright, since you two paid Spirit Stones to enter the Ruins, there is no problem."
"Just sit next to us and meditate. When the Ruins open tomorrow, come in with us."
Seeing that the two had proven their identity as those who paid Spirit Stones, Night Owl waved his hand, inviting them to sit down, meditate, and rest.
"Hehe, alright, alright."
The siblings looked overjoyed upon hearing this.
However, they didn't immediately meditate. Instead, they smiled and cupped their hands toward Night Owl and his companions again, saying, "Fellow Daoists, for the convenience of cooperation, we should introduce ourselves to you, lest any mishaps occur inside the Ruins due to not knowing names."
"Mm, I am Sand Sable!" The man powerfully stated his name.
"I am Sha Xiaomeng!" The woman followed up, stating her name.
Seeing how serious Sand Sable and Sha Xiaomeng were.
Night Owl and his companions also stated their names one by one.
"Night Owl!"
"Gu Chen!"
"Mu Xueqing!"
"Chu Feng!"
"Shi Xiyao...!"
Hearing Night Owl and his companions all state their names.
Sand Sable happily greeted each of them by name before finally sitting cross-legged on the ground to meditate, feeling satisfied.
