Chapter 51

The man looked up and said, "You remind me of someone I know."

Qiao Wan's mouth twitched. How did this familiar plot of a guy calling someone his sister happen again?

"Maybe your sister is also a cultivator."

Xie Xingzhi said, "I don't remember."

Qiao Wan asked, "You don't remember?"

"When I was young, I encountered a monster that damaged part of my memory. I only remember fragments of memories," Xie Xingzhi said calmly. "I can't remember what my little sister's name is or what she looks like."

"I came to the mountain to find her."

Qiao Wan looked surprised, hesitant, and at a loss, with a hint of sympathy on her face.

She reached out and tugged at Xie Xingzhi's sleeve, smiled gently, and said, "Don't worry, fairy. You are blessed, so you will definitely find your sister."

When Xie Xingzhi looked back at her, the coldness in his eyes had faded quite a bit.

A gust of night wind blew.

Qiao Wan trembled a bit, feeling the need to act.

Xie Xingzhi glanced at her, took off his outer garment, and draped it over Qiao Wan's shoulders.

"It's cold at night. You're just a mortal, so wear this for now."

Qiao Wan tightly held onto the garment, stood up, bowed slightly to show her gratitude, and whispered, "If my big brother had half the kindness of a fairy, I would be content."

Xie Xingzhi asked, "Does your elder brother not treat you well?"

Qiao Wan replied, "My elder brother is addicted to gambling. He spends any money he has at the gambling house."

"He stays at the gambling house day and night, never coming home. He's probably still at the gambling house at this time."

Seizing the opportunity, Qiao Wan saw that Xie Xingzhi's expression had changed slightly.

Qiao Wan lifted her dress, knelt down in front of Xie Xingzhi, and said, "I have a request that I hope the fairy can fulfill."

"I don't know if the fairy can accompany me to the gambling house."

Qiao Wan covered her face and said, "I really have no other way. No matter how I persuade my elder brother, he just won't listen."

Qiao Wan covered her stiff face, her shoulders trembling slightly, and continued to act, "My elder brother is timid and weak. If you say a few words to him, he might behave a little better."

Xie Xingzhi's gaze was neither approving nor disapproving.

Dim candlelight illuminated the girl.

The girl covered her face and sobbed softly, appearing fragile and helpless.

For some reason, her figure seemed to overlap with the image of that thin and frail person in his mind.

Xie Xingzhi softened his tone and said, "Alright, I'll accompany you this time."

Qiao Wan stopped acting. It seems she's not so smart after all.

"Fairy, please walk slowly. We've arrived here."

She led Xie Xingzhi out of the Eight Treasures Pavilion, and no one stopped the famous Lone Sword along the way.

When they arrived at the gambling house where Yao Guang and the others had agreed to meet, Qiao Wan stopped and, once again, pretended to bow. "This place is dirty. Fairy, please wait here for a moment. I'll go find my elder brother."

Xie Xingzhi also seemed uncomfortable in this filthy atmosphere, and his brows unconsciously furrowed again.

Xie Xingzhi stood there alone, with a proud and extraordinary demeanor, like a strong and tall tree growing out of the mud.

Qiao Wan quickly sneaked into the crowd and took out a Sound Passing Talisman while she was sneaking.

"Gambling house, come quickly."

Yao Guang asked, "Did you succeed?"

Qiao Wan paused and replied, "No, I lured Xie Xingzhi here."

Although I couldn't see the reaction on the other side, I could vaguely guess the astonishment of Yao Guang and the others from the sound of banging over there.

"Oops! Who just stepped on me?!"

After a while, the person on the other end of the Sound Passing Talisman finally regained their senses.

The person who responded to Qiao Wan was Bai Jingmen, who remained strangely silent for a moment, and his trembling voice revealed his own breakdown, "Taoist Friend Lu, why is it Xie Xingzhi?"

We agreed to use Tan Tianjiao, so why did it become Xie Xingzhi?! This is not even close in terms of importance!

Qiao Wan spoke quickly, "I saw that he had the keys to the private treasury of the Bodhisattva Society."

The plan had changed, so she had to get hold of the private treasury keys first.

"Someone, hurry up and come here."

Yu Sanniang said, "How could Lone Sword possibly mix with people from the Bodhisattva Society?!"

Qiao Wan's voice became low, "That night, Old Bai and I saw him taking away the body of a Bodhisattva Society member. Tonight, Tan Tianjiao and the Xiao family asked me to serve him, so it seems like this isn't the first time. He lives in the Eight Treasures Pavilion and seems to have a deep connection with the Bodhisattva Society."

It's hard to say whether Xie Xingzhi is truly a noble gentleman or a deceptive pseudo gentleman.

Yao Guang asked tremulously, "Did you...really lure Xie Xingzhi here?"

"That is Xie Xingzhi!! Lone Sword Xie Xingzhi! Is he really that easy to deceive?" Yao Guang asked in disbelief, with a hint of questioning life.

Qiao Wan... she also couldn't believe that Xie Xingzhi could be fooled so easily.

In the busy gambling house, Qiao Wan briefly explained the situation and didn't wait for any further reaction before cutting off the Sound Passing Talisman.

After doing all this, Qiao Wan went back to the counter and got a cup of tea. She raised her hand and discreetly sprinkled the prepared powdered bones into the tea.

The waiter at the Eight Treasures Pavilion had promised that the medicine was colorless and tasteless. When mixed with the tea, it could make three Golden Pill stage cultivators collapse instantly.

As she carried the cup of tea, Qiao Wan deeply felt like the suspect in a legal program about to lay hands on an innocent college girl.

Xie Xingzhi was still standing in place, waiting for her. Amidst the noisy and rowdy crowd, he appeared particularly fresh, refined, and unaffected.

Qiao Wan handed the cup of tea to him and whispered, "Sorry to keep you waiting, the gambling game my brother is in hasn't ended yet, but he will come over immediately once it's done."

Xie Xingzhi glanced at Qiao Wan. The girl appeared to be no more than sixteen years old, still wearing the attire of a dancer, revealing her smooth skin. She had a delicate figure that didn't fit in with the gambling house's atmosphere.

Xie Xingzhi frowned almost imperceptibly.

Being so young, she had fallen into a lowly life, her older brother was truly worthless.

"Um."

Xie Xingzhi: "I'm not thirsty."

Qiao Wan looked down: "But does the immortal disdain the poor quality of the tea here?"

After a moment's hesitation, Xie Xingzhi took the teacup from her hand.

Qiao Wan blinked and held her breath.

The man drank all the tea and placed the cup on the table.

"It's noisy here, I'll take the immortal to the private room for a moment."

"Thank you."

Qiao Wan thought it would be troublesome if he fainted here, so Qiao Wan hurriedly took him to the private room in the Eight Treasures Pavilion.

The door closed and locked.

Just then, Qiao Wan felt a cold sensation on the back of her head.

A strand of hair floated in the air!

There was a murderous intent!

Qiao Wan swiftly dodged the blade, and when she turned around, she saw Xie Xingzhi holding onto the bed, with a mix of surprise and anger in her eyes, and coldly asking, "Who are you?!"

As soon as she entered the room, Xie Xingzhi finally realized that something was wrong.

He thought that the noise from the gambling hall and gave him a headache, but when he activated his spiritual power, he couldn't help but feel alarmed.

Even if he was dumb, Xie Xingzhi understood what had happened.

he was hit.

At this sight, Qiao Wan also understood.

The medicine was taking effect.

The Eight Treasures Pavilion was indeed a well-established shop in the cultivation world, it was not lying.

Even Xie Xingzhi couldn't resist the effects of the medicine.

The man frowned tightly, holding onto the bed and panting heavily. His body was swaying, but he still tried to move the sword light with all his strength.

A medicine that could knock down five Golden Core stage cultivators in a second.

Xie Xingzhi had managed to endure for such a long time.

Indeed, the Lone Sword was fearsome.

Thinking this, Qiao Wan picked up the door latch and slowly approached the man amidst his surprised and angry gaze.

At this moment, Xie Xingzhi couldn't even move a finger, and could only watch as Qiao Wan raised the door latch high.

Bang!

Problem solved!

Lone Sword Xie Xingzhi immediately slumped in front of her, unconscious.

Qiao Wan then took out a Sound Passing Talisman.

"Problem solved."

Yao Guang was astonished: "Really, Lu Wan?"

Qiao Wan crouched down and felt Xie Xingzhi's clothes: "Stop talking and come help."

When they entered the room and saw the man lying on the floor defenseless, Yao Guang, Yu Sanniang, Bai Jingmen, and the others were stunned.

After a brief moment of shock, they hurriedly went to help Qiao Wan.

Where were the keys?

Qiao Wan reached into her sleeve.

Empty.

No storage pouch, no keys.

Qiao Wan frowned and reached to tear open the man's collar.

Seeing this, Yao Guang swallowed nervously.

Somehow, the lying Lone Sword guy had aroused his curiosity.

Qiao Wan reached into the man's collar and touched his chest.

Nothing there either.

What do we do now?

The group stared at each other.

There was no time.

The medicine that could knock down five Golden Core cultivators took such a long time.

Who knows if Xie Xingzhi would wake up earlier than anyone else.

"Medicine, medicine, medicine."

Qiao Wan reached out her hand to Yao Guang, took the remaining medicine bag, held Xie Xingzhi's chin with one hand, and poured all the powder from the medicine bag into his mouth.

Bai Jingmen said, "This... won't kill him, will it?"

Qiao Wan looked at the man and made a decisive decision.

"Tear his clothes off!"

"But... is that really okay?"

Qiao Wan said, "If Xie Xingzhi wakes up, we will all die."

Yao Guang squatted down and looked at the man on the ground.

He looked noble and arrogant, with his hair looking cold.

Yao Guang tremblingly reached out his hand and said, "Why do I feel like we are looking for death?"

Yu Sanniang sighed, "I am willing to die even."

Several people worked together and in a short while, they stripped Lone Sword Xie Xingzhi completely.

The man lay naked on the ground with only his underwear left.

Bai Jingmen, being a Confucian scholar, was a bit hesitant. He said, "Shall we take off his underwear too?"

Some cultivators hide things in their lower dantian. Although Xie Xingzhi doesn't seem like it, we can't rule out this possibility.

During the process of taking off Xie Xingzhi's clothes, Yao Guang was completely turned on.

Since we're doing it, it would be in vain if we don't find the storage pouch.

Yao Guang said, "Tear, tear, tear."

Yu Sanniang coughed and blushed, "Take it off?"

So, with fear, dread, excitement, anticipation, and inexplicable shyness, they all together stripped off Xie Xingzhi's underwear.

Yao Guang said, "Fuck!"

Qiao Wan said, "Wow!"

Bai Jingmen coughed.

Yu Sanniang covered her face.

Bai Jingmen reached out his hand, trying to block Qiao Wan and Yu Sanniang, trying to salvage the little bit of dignity left: "Cough, don't look, don't look, let's quickly do what we came here for."

Now, Xie Xingzhi was completely naked, not a piece of cloth left. But they still couldn't find the storage pouch anywhere.

After searching around, Yao Guang asked, "Did you find it?"

Bai Jingmen's face turned serious, "No."

Not even in the lower dantian.

The few people squatted in front of Xie Xingzhi, all feeling puzzled.

Where could the storage pouch be hiding?

"I got it!" Bai Jingmen slapped his head and quickly lifted Xie Xingzhi's arm to take a look.

He found it in the palm of the man's hand.

The storage pouch was hidden in the palm.

After searching around, they had forgotten this simplest and hardest-to-think-of place.

Qiao Wan was a bit worried; she couldn't unlock it.

Qiao Wan turned to the others and asked, "Can anyone unlock it?"

Bai Jingmen shook his head, "It seems like a technique unique to Chaotian Mountain."

Yao Guang shivered, "What do we do now then?"

They could only wait for Xie Xingzhi to wake up and unlock it himself, considering his rumored brutal strength.

Yao Guang shivered, "Does anyone have any magical tools? Quickly."

Yao Guang, Yu Sanniang, and Bai Jingmen all took out their magical tools from head to toe.

Yao Guang pulled out a long golden whip. They all worked together to tie Xie Xingzhi's hands and feet. Yu Sanniang's magical item is her pair of earrings, which she can use as a weapon by throwing them. She put both earrings on Xie Xingzhi's waist.

For people like Qiao Wan and others who couldn't afford magical items, they had to draw their own magical formations on the ground.

After finishing everything, everyone squatted down and watched the man in front of them with deep and intense eyes.

"Why isn't he waking up yet?"

"Taoist Friend Lu, did you give him too much medicine earlier?"

Qiao Wan stared closely at Xie Xingzhi's movements and raised her hand, saying, "Wait, he's waking up."

Under everyone's gaze, the man's eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes. There was still some confusion in his gaze.

But in an instant, he found his focus.

In his cold and piercing eyes, there was a hint of surprise.

He raised his knife and menacingly gestured in front of him, asking, "Tell me, do you want your brother or the storage bag?"

...
