BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM

Chapter 60: Trailing, Poisoning

"Senior Sister, do you want to buy anything else?" After checking the purchased items, Xiao Yi Xian stored them in her Space Ring. She then turned to Nalan Yanran, who had a strange expression.

Upon hearing this, Nalan Yanran snapped out of her thoughts and shook her head, saying, "No need, let's go back."

Xiao Yi Xian nodded, "Okay."

Subsequently, under the courteous farewell of the steward, the two slowly left the Miteer Auction House.

However, after Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yi Xian left the Miteer Auction House, a middle-aged man also slowly followed.

Watching the departing figures of Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yi Xian, a coldness appeared in the man's eyes.

"A seven-line purple gold card, a fifth-grade magical beast egg..."

"It seems that this time, I've encountered a big fat sheep..."

...

After Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yi Xian left the Miteer Auction House, they didn't continue to linger in the Holy City of Gama. Instead, they headed towards the city gate.

After a short wait in line, the two slowly walked out of the city gate, returning in the direction of the Yunlan Sect.

"Senior Sister, what kind of magical beast is the fifth-grade magical beast egg that Elder Gu He gave you?" Walking side by side, Nalan Yanran asked Xiao Yi Xian.

Xiao Yi Xian answered, "It's an Ironwing Giant Eagle."

Nalan Yanran showed surprise, "It's actually a flying magical beast!"

Nalan Yanran envied a bit, saying, "Junior Sister, when the Ironwing Giant Eagle hatches, you must take me out for a ride."

At these words, Xiao Yi Xian's face revealed a hint of yearning. She nodded to Nalan Yanran, saying, "Of course, if there's a chance, I'll take Senior Sister to my hometown, Qingshan Town. I know of a beautiful valley there, and Senior Sister will surely like it."

"Qingshan Town..."

Nalan Yanran murmured. She grew up in the Holy City of Gama and had almost never left the city except for the time she went to Wutan City for the broken engagement. Naturally, she had never heard of Qingshan Town.

"Well, in Qingshan Town, I also have a Blue Eagle friend. I'll bring it back to the Yunlan Sect at that time." Xiao Yi Xian's eyes flashed with a hint of nostalgia. After leaving her hometown for so long, she also felt a bit homesick.

She had decided that when she became stronger, she would visit Qingshan Town alone.

"Alright, I'll accompany you when the time comes." Nalan Yanran's eyes also showed curiosity. She rarely went out and was longing for the outside world.

As the two walked and talked, they unconsciously arrived in a dense forest.

This dense forest was the nearest route back to the Yunlan Sect.

When they came, Nalan Yanran led Xiao Yi Xian along this path.

"En?"

At this moment, Xiao Yi Xian sensed something amiss and suddenly stopped.

Seeing Xiao Yi Xian stop abruptly, Nalan Yanran was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong, Junior Sister?"

"Senior Sister, I feel something is not right."

Perhaps because she often frequented the Magic Beast Mountain Range when in Qingshan Town, Xiao Yi Xian was more sensitive to changes in the surrounding environment than others.

Now, when Nalan Yanran inquired, Xiao Yi Xian became suspicious and said, "Senior Sister, when we came, it wasn't this quiet. It's eerily silent now, not even a bird's chirping. It seems strange."

Upon hearing this, Nalan Yanran's face slightly changed, and she scanned the surrounding dense forest with a serious expression, "Indeed, something is amiss."

Xiao Yi Xian suggested, "Senior Sister, for safety's sake, should we take another route?"

Just as Nalan Yanran was about to agree, her expression changed.

Suddenly, four masked figures emerged in front of them, rapidly approaching.

"Junior Sister, let's go quickly!"

Seeing this scene, Nalan Yanran's face changed. She grabbed Xiao Yi Xian and hurried towards the direction of the Holy City of Gama.

However, before they could get far, they had to stop. Nalan Yanran looked at the two masked men who appeared again with an unpleasant expression.

At this moment, the four masked figures from behind caught up, forming a circle around Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yi Xian.

"Didn't expect you two little girls to be quite vigilant. Fortunately, we were prepared early; otherwise, you might have escaped."

The middle-aged man who appeared at the Miteer Auction House looked at Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yi Xian, a sneer on his face.

"What kind of people are you?"

Nalan Yanran's face under her cloak changed slightly, and her tone turned cold, "Daring to attack us, have you considered the consequences?"

The

middle-aged man sneered, "I know your identities are different."

"After all, a seven-line purple gold card and a fifth-grade magical beast egg are not things ordinary people can bring out."

"However, when you come out, haven't your elders taught you the principle of keeping wealth a secret?"

The middle-aged man showed a fierce look, "Obediently reveal the treasures on your body, maybe I'll spare your lives."

The other masked individuals also grinned, looking at Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yi Xian with malicious intent.

Among them, the middle-aged man and another masked person possessed the strength of a One-Star Dou Master, while the others were all Seven-Star or Eight-Star Dou Practitioners.

With such strength, dealing with two inexperienced young girls was like taking candy from a baby.

Feeling the oppression from the group, Nalan Yanran's face changed. She regretted not bringing Steward Ge Ye along this time.

It seemed that this time, their luck might not be so good.

Compared to Nalan Yanran, Xiao Yi Xian appeared much calmer on the side.

"Will you let us leave safely if I give you the treasures on my body?" Looking at the man in the middle, Xiao Yi Xian slowly spoke.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man chuckled, "Of course, we're only after wealth."

However, upon hearing his words, the other masked individuals revealed a trace of mockery in their eyes.

They knew this was a trick the leader always used, aiming to lower the target's guard.

These two young girls in front of them obviously had extraordinary backgrounds. If they let them leave alive, it would undoubtedly bring endless trouble.

Therefore, they would absolutely not let these two young girls go.

Hearing the words of these masked individuals, Xiao Yi Xian's eyes flickered. Dealing with mercenaries regularly, she naturally wasn't as naive as she appeared.

However, what these masked individuals didn't notice was that, at some point, a jade bottle suddenly appeared in Xiao Yi Xian's hand. It quietly opened, releasing a colorless gas that slowly dispersed.

Nalan Yanran on the side quickly said, "Junior Sister, don't believe them."

Although she was inexperienced, Nalan Yanran could tell that these people were not good characters. If they handed over the treasures, these people would likely not let them leave unharmed.

A hint of innocence appeared on Xiao Yi Xian's face as she said, "Senior Sister, they said they seek wealth. My teacher once said that wealth is an external possession. Since they want it, we'll give it to them."

Saying that, Xiao Yi Xian slowly took off the space ring from her hand.
