Chapter 308 Gentle Senior Brother 16 (1/2)

Chapter 308 Gentle Senior Brother 16 "I just saw that A-Xi was interested in this piece of iron. Perfect timing. I bought an extra set when I was collecting refining materials. It's useless to keep it with me. A-Xi, take it. You'll definitely need it when you're refining in the future."

Mu Yuan took out the piece of Star Iron, which was packaged in a brocade box, from his sleeve and handed it to her with a gentle smile on his face.

He spoke very eloquently, taking great care of Zi Xi's self-esteem and making it difficult for her to refuse with an overly valuable reason.

Zi Xi looked at the brocade box, then looked into Mu Yuan's eyes.

This was a gift from Mu Yuan, and she couldn't accept it, but Mu Yuan's expression was resolute.

Perhaps it was the relaxed atmosphere of the night market that softened her, or perhaps she really needed this piece of Star Iron.

"This item is quite valuable. What would you like to exchange it for, Senior Brother?"

Zi Xi hesitated for a moment before accepting the offer, but she didn't refuse immediately either. She simply asked softly about the price.

After all, what's free is often the most expensive.

"Ah Xi is joking. Among fellow disciples, there's no need to exchange such superfluous materials for any conditions."

"If Ah Xi doesn't mind, please accept it. This will make up for all the spiritual teas you drink at Hidden Peak every day."

The smile in Mu Yuan's eyes deepened. He handed the brocade box forward again, his tone gentle and unquestionable.

Zi Xi remained silent for a moment before accepting the brocade box.

Her fingertips inevitably brushed against Mu Yuan's fingertips for a fleeting moment, and she quickly withdrew her hand.

"...Then thank you very much, Senior Brother Mu Yuan. If you ever need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."

Her voice was still soft, but it had a touch more warmth than before.

"Why are you being so polite, Ah Xi...? Given our relationship, there's no need for you to be so polite to me."

"It's late, everyone please be careful on your journey. Farewell."

Seeing that she accepted it, Mu Yuan smiled broadly, his eyes crinkling with joy.

He bowed goodbye, turned, and disappeared into the night.

Meanwhile, at the Hidden Sword Peak of the Tianyan Sect.

Through the crystal ball, Lin Wanwan watched the scene of Mu Yuan and the others from Yinfeng enjoying themselves at the night market.

Especially the scene where Mu Yuan gives her a gift and Liu Zixi doesn't refuse it, her face is completely distorted, and the resentment in her eyes is almost tangible.

"You slut! You slut! You slut!"

She screamed wildly and smashed the precious furnishings in the room to pieces.

Why?!

Why is it that Senior Brother Mu Yuan only has eyes for that taciturn, despicable woman?!

Why, even though she was reborn and seized the initiative, did she still not get everything she wanted?!

Master was wary of Mu Yuan and completely ignored her cries.

As a result, Mu Yuan has become increasingly closer to that bastard Yin Feng!

Overwhelming hatred nearly drove Lin Wanwan to the brink of madness.

She couldn't wait any longer; she had to make Liu Zixi disappear completely, forever!

Lin Wanwan recalled that in her previous life, there was a small group of demonic cultivators lurking nearby the sect.

This force has a long-standing feud with the Tianyan Sect and acts ruthlessly.

Moreover, they're willing to do anything as long as there are enough spirit stones.

She wanted to use someone else to do her dirty work.

Lin Wanwan smiled excitedly.

She carefully took out a large bag of mid-grade spirit stones.

This was a gift from her senior classmates, which she had been reluctant to use.

She activated the jade talisman, silently transmitting the desired information using her divine sense.

"My next bounty is for Liu Zixi, a disciple of Hidden Peak."

"The information I can provide is that the ancient tomb ruins will be located in the southwest of Black Wind Forest in three days. The reward I can offer is one thousand mid-grade spirit stones, plus... a map of the Tianyan Sect's border patrol deployment."

Spirit stones were nothing, but Lin Wanwan offered an irresistible reward: a map showing the border defenses of the Tianyan Sect.

It would be priceless to demonic cultivators!

"Okay, half of the deposit is due first, and the rest will be paid later. If there is any fraud, may I be punished severely."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the jade talisman before a reply came.
