Chapter 112: Chapter 96: Strange Tales of Tianxie (Part 3)

Forget it, he shook his head, and decided to see if there were any more clues in the future.

"By the way," Chu Xuan suddenly remembered something and looked at Qingqing to ask:

"How did you know that this was something He Danian heard from others years ago?"

This goes beyond the realm of "guessing others’ thoughts," it’s almost like Mind Reading Technique.

Qingqing was at a loss for words and tried to dismiss it casually, but Chu Xuan wouldn’t let it go.

Getting impatient, she straightforwardly said, "You first tell me, what’s the relationship between you and Tianxie? I see you seem very concerned about matters related to him."

Chu Xuan pondered for a moment, "If I answer you, then you must answer me too."

Qingqing readily agreed.

So, Chu Xuan repeated his excuses used to deal with the Ice Sea Demon Monarch, saying things like "I have an irreconcilable hatred with a demon king," and "That demon king might be a subordinate of Tianxie," and so on.

Qingqing listened but didn’t fully believe it. She still said, "I have a rare special constitution that allows me to see through others’ thoughts."

"Of course, only surface thoughts, deep consciousness can’t be read."

"Moreover, if the opponent’s cultivation level is higher than mine, the effect will greatly diminish."

Chu Xuan suddenly understood but was somewhat confused, "Then my thoughts..."

Qingqing stared intently at Chu Xuan, "I can’t see through yours. If it weren’t for your strong emotional fluctuations just now, I wouldn’t even know you were angry. What is the reason for this? Tell me truthfully."

Could it be the Six Souls Banner? Theoretically, since it can obscure heavenly secrets, it naturally can also block mind reading, soul searching, and similar Divine Techniques, preventing Chu Xuan from being exposed if caught by a powerful figure.

Though this was his guess, Chu Xuan naturally wouldn’t reveal the truth. He just coughed and said:

"I also have a special constitution; maybe we neutralize each other, so you should stop targeting me from now on."

Qingqing was a bit surprised, "I suspected it long ago. You have innate Spiritual Qi, looking both clear and splendid. Is it the legendary Innate Dao Body?"

"No, you can see that too?"

Chu Xuan suspected Qingqing wasn’t telling the truth. Her ability isn’t just simple mind reading; she might possess a Divine Technique akin to "Celestial Eye Technique" or "Illusion Breaking Eye."

Qingqing scoffed slightly, "That’s what it means to be a genius, and you’re lying to me. Innate Dao Body has nothing to do with concealing one’s abilities."

Chu Xuan retorted, "Same to you, let’s leave it at that. If we keep questioning each other, we’ll really end up as a pair of young spouses."

"Shameless, who wants to be young spouses with you?"

...

While the two continued their usual jest and banter, Qingqing’s eyes suddenly lit up. She pointed ahead at the back of a young man in green.

"See that guy? He must be an easy target."

Although that person was casually strolling through the market without making any suspicious moves, Qingqing’s Celestial Treasure Seeking Technique activated.

This young man undoubtedly carried treasures, looking young and inexperienced, with a cultivation level equaling hers, and without protection by his side, it would be a waste not to take advantage of it.

"Alright, you and I will team up, profits split seventy-thirty." Qingqing coaxed Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan was puzzled, "Why only seventy percent?"

"Seventy percent is mine; your thirty depends on my mood."

"Whose mood?"

Qingqing pointed to herself, "Mine."

"You? I came all this way just to see your mood?"

"Exactly."

"I ignore my reputation from the righteous sect, managed to find a fat sheep, want to make a big profit, and yet it depends on your mood, wouldn’t I just be kneeling to beg?"

Qingqing replied bluntly, "If you put it that way, in this line of work, it really is kneeling to beg, many want to kneel but don’t have the chance!"

Chu Xuan felt a bit amused; this girl coordinated too well, reciting the lines almost perfectly.

Before he could speak, Qingqing got anxious, looked around and said, "You’ve been tangling with me here, where’s that fat sheep, vanished?"

"Were you two looking for me?"

The two immediately turned around, only to see the young man facing them.

He wore a green robe, a scholar’s cap, fair skin, delicate features, with a faint smile on his face, truly a graceful young man.

Qingqing immediately became vigilant; this person was definitely not simple to have silently approached from behind, if he hadn’t spoken, she wouldn’t have noticed.

At the same time, she regretted being careless from spending too much time hanging around with Chu Xuan, making her bold enough to point at a target in public, leading to being caught now.

While Chu Xuan was also initially wary, seeing the person’s appearance made his eyes light up.

Chu Xuan enthusiastically stepped forward, grasped that young man’s hands, "Brother, long time no see."

The young man seemed somewhat surprised, "Brother, even dressed like this, you recognize me?"

"We are brothers, if I couldn’t recognize you, what face would I have calling you brother?"

While they engaged in brotherly exchanges, Qingqing’s expression turned odd.

Isn’t Chu Xuan a bit too enthusiastic? And his actions... aren’t they too intimate?

Could it be this guy also swings both ways, enjoying such things?

"Qingqing, let me introduce you; this is my good brother."

But halfway through the introduction, Chu Xuan paused and turned to ask, "Brother, what’s your name?"

The young man wearing a green robe coughed slightly, "Just call me Chu Liansheng."

"Wow, you guys are from the same clan."

For some reason, Qingqing felt a bit of hostility towards this handsome young man, so she opened her mouth in a sarcastic tone while attempting to "listen" to the other’s thoughts.
