Sima You Yue looked at Chou Xiao Tian, saying, “Since we’re already here, we can part ways.”

“No rush, no rush.” Chou Xiao Tian siad, “In any case, your objective is the Innumerable Green Palace, and so is mine. Why don’t we go the same way? We can take care of each other while we’re at it.”

“I feel as if there’s no way we would be taking care of each other if I’m with you.” Sima You Yue spoke bluntly.

“But with me around, you will definitely be able to enter Innumerable Green Palace quicker. Otherwise, you will have to go a really roundabout way if you wanted to use their teleportation array.” Chou Xiao Tian smiled as he waved his fan, looking particularly sinister.

The others from the Sima Clan looked at Sima You Yue, not knowing what enigmatic things they were saying.

“You Yue, since we’re going the same way as them, why don’t we go together.” Fatty Qu said.

“They’re a walking time bomb.” Sima You Yue said.

Eh-

“Two array stones.” It was the first time that Chou Xiao Tian had heard of the term ‘walking time bomb’, but he pretty much understood what it meant.

Sima You Yue glared at him, saying, “Let’s talk privately.”

“Okay.”

The two of them walked away, and Chou Xiao Tian created a separate space. Everyone could only watch the two of them talking inside. In the beginning, Chou Xiao Tian was the one who was speaking for the majority of the time, while Sima You Yue was just furrowing her eyebrows.

“You’re saying than Lian Hong is The Soaring Cloud Palace’s nephew? Then who are his parents?” Sima You Yue asked.

“The Soaring Cloud Palace’s Palace Master is called Lian Ze. He’s the second young master of one of the branches of the Lian Clan. Lian Hong’s father is his elder brother.” Chou Xiao Tian said.

“What about his Mother?

“His mother is a young miss, a distant relative from one of the branch Fei clans, an enemy of the Lian Clan.” Chou Xiao Tiani explained, “The Fei Clan was dissatisfied with the relationship between the two. They had no relationship with this child, Lian Hong, so they’ve been sending people after him to kill him all these years.”

“That’s why you brought him to Heavenly Tiger Ridge and destroyed their teleportation array?” Sima You Yue said confidently.

“Heavenly Tiger Ridge is a prefecture that doesn’t stand out. They definitely would not think that we were there. Without a teleportation array and being surrounded by Spirit Beasts, most people wouldn’t be able to find it.” Chou Xiao Tian didn’t refute her.

“But there are those who are able to directly create a space portal.” Sima You Yue said.

For example, Old Man Devil and Wu Lingyu.

When she thought of Wu Lingyu, she suddenly remembered that not everyone was able to create a space portal. Only those who were Divine Ranked and above could do it. Could it be that he had already advanced to the Divine Rank when he was really young?

Chou Xiao Tian didn’t know what she was thinking about and continued, “Those from the Fei Clan who are capable of opening space portals wouldn’t participate in this kind of things.”

“Why?”

“From what I know, this is something that one of the young masters in the Fei Clan is doing. He liked Lian Hong’s mother before.” Chou Xiao Tian said.

“Then this means we aren’t battling the entire of the Fei Clan?” Sima You Yue said, “What kind of background does the Fei Clan and Lian clan have?”

“They’re second only to powers like the Innumerable Green Palace.” Chou Xiao Tian said.

“Ss-” Sima You Yue glared hatefully at Chou Xiao Tian, “Are you dragging me down or dragging me down? You’re dragging me into the waters when you’re up against such a powerful clan? No way, I’m not going with you guys. It’s too dangerous.”

“You’ve already been dragged in.” Chou Xiao Tian beamed, “Once you appeared with us outside Flower City, with a huge power like the Fei Clan, they definitely got wind of the news. Even if you separated from us now, you wouldn’t be able to avoid the Fei Clan chasing after you to kill you. That guy is definitely the kind of guy that will kill a thousand to avoid letting one wrong one live.”

Sima You Yue said helplessly, “We’re merely pitiful people who came up from below, why are you dragging us along to die with you?”

“No, we can only survive if we have you.” Chou Xiao Tian said, “All these years, I’ve always been attempting to get Lian Hong and Lian Ze to meet. However, I will be chased to death by the Fei Clan the moment I leave Heavenly Tiger Ridge. There’s no need to even talk about finding Lian Ze in Innumerable Green Ridge.”

“We’re just a group of divine ranks, we’ll definitely retreat if it comes up to a fight. There’s no use dragging us up.” Sima You Yue said, “Who knows, you probably could have gone to two cities but only ended up in one.”

“I had no choice. You were my final gamble.” Chou Xiao Tian said, “If I missed this chance and didn’t go with you, who knows how long we would have to stay in Heavenly Tiger Ridge. The Fei Clan has already noticed Heavenly Tiger Ridge. Even if we weren’t with you, we were already planning to leave. Also, I believe that we only have a chance of survival if we’re with you.”

“You plotted against us.” Sima You Yue was cold as she spat.

“I’m sorry, btu we had no other choice.” Choi Xiao Tian said, “Apart from owing you some compensation, I owe you a favour.”

Sima You Yue’s head was hurting. She merely wanted to go to Central Provide to help Bei Gong Tang save her mother and younger brother. How did she end up meeting such a troublesome and heavy fox?

“What kind of relationship do you have with them? What about his parents?”

“I’m his father’s brother, though not by blood. His parents are already dead. I was entrusted with him before they died. I can’t throw him aside.” Chou Xiao Tian said.

“I just have to bring you to Innumerable Green Palace?” Sima You Yue asked.

“Yes.”

“Four Array Stones and a favour.” Sima You Yue was not polite and directly increased the price.

“Three, and a favour. I only have three more.” Chou Xiao Tian said.

Sima You Yue stared at Chou Xiao Tian for a long time before she finally spat unwillingly, “Deal! Pay in advance.”

Just as he said, they had appeared in front of Flower City, and the Fei Clan would definitely receive news of it. At that time, it would be hard for her to avoid being chased, so why not take them along and profit off it.

Chou Xiao Tian took out an array stone. The size was around the same as the one before.

Sima You Yue took the array stone and checked it before keeping it into the spirit pagoda. She asked, “How did you get such big array stones?”

“During a chance encounter, I obtained four pieces.” Chou Xiao Tian replied.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Actually, I’ve always been curious about your identity.” Sima You Yue looked at Chou Xiao Tian, “I used to think you were someone from Innumerable Green Palace, but it looks like you aren’t. Just who are you?”

“I come from Central Province. I also ended up in this situation unwittingly.” Chou Xiao Tian said.

“Then, didn’t you try liaising with your sect or try to find a way?back?” Sima You Yue didn’t understand.

“You just arrived at this continent so you’re not familiar with the circumstances outside.” Chou Xiao Tian said, “You can’t just casually use the teleportation arrays here. Every city has a sect that is made of the Fei Clansmen. They monopolise the teleportation arrays. How was I supposed to head to Central Province?”

Sima You Yue suddenly thought of something and cried out, “Then we can’t use the teleportation arrays either?”

Seeing Chou Xiao Tian nodd, she really wanted to go up and beat him up. She felt like she had only gained three array stones and had lost out so much!

The two of them spoke for around half an hour inside that separate space before coming out. Chou Xiao Tian was beaming with joy, while Sima You Yue was really downcast.

“It is better of us to set off earlier. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if the Fei clansmen catch up.” Chou Xiao Tian said to everyone.

Sima You Yue’s group looked at Sima You Yue and she waved, saying, “I’ll explain everything to you guys on the way. Let’s set off first.”
