Chapter 424 Chance Encounter He thought he could enter the Qiyu Valley with his head held high like a victorious general, but he found out that he was fooled by a group of old foxes. One can imagine how Master Nan felt as he entered the valley under the watchful eyes of a group of weapon refiners. He also knew that he had become a joke in the eyes of this group of weapon refiners. Of course, he didn't care about what these people thought. To him, the Lihuo Sect was nothing to him no matter how unlucky he was. What he wanted most now was to find Shi Chun to learn about the situation of all parties. Judging from the information that Fengluo Sect had, Fengluo Sect actually knew very little. He estimated that Shi Chun had been wrestling with those big sects for so long, and he should have a deeper understanding of the situation of those big sects' harvest of divine fire. His purpose is simple. As long as the Liantian Sect does not win, the country will not collapse. Among the distinguished guests on the palace-like ship's deck, not only Qian She left, but most of them also left. Gong Shaoci didn't leave, so it was difficult for him to leave, after all, Lan Qiaoyan and her daughter were still here. He had just reported the good news, and when he saw the mother and daughter again this time, he couldn't help but touch his nose and told them the news of the incident with some embarrassment. It's not a big deal. The mother and daughter were actually relieved by this. In their opinion, winning the championship was just an unrealistic dream for Yu Shichun, and being able to survive was already the best outcome.

But after a little thought, Lan Qiaoyan became worried again. "The problem now is that an innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure. What is the purpose of those weapon-refining sects blocking him at the exit? They want to snatch the secret method of finding the divine fire from him. Now that he has offended Qian She and the others, Master Nan can't stand alone. Without the support of that gang behind him, even if he gets out, he can't escape the clutches of those weapon-refining sects. They will never let him go easily." Gong Shaoci smiled faintly and said, "Then just hand over your things honestly, and give me the secret method." Lan Qiaoyan stared at him and said meaningfully, "I'm afraid it's not that simple. Without the support of a powerful force, do you think those major weapon-refining sects will allow a person who holds important secrets to run around randomly outside? It's the same as doing business with us. Monopoly is a good business, and some people don't want to see the scope of knowledge expand." Miao Yilan was shocked when she heard this. Anyone who wasn't stupid would understand what it meant. She naturally understood it, and asked anxiously, "Mom, what should we do?" Gong Shaoci pondered and said, "I'll try to help greet them." Lan Qiaoyan shook her head slightly. "Those weapon refining forces dare to slap the Qian family in the face. Do you think they will listen to you?" Gong Shaoci smiled bitterly on the surface, and in his heart he was also smiling bitterly. It’s good that you know it. How could I not know it? I’m doing this for you to see. "Alas, he is indeed a bit wild. It's a good thing for him to want to stand out, but he shouldn't have such unreasonable expectations. Is this something he can do? Now, I'm afraid no one can help him, at least we don't have the ability to do so." Lan Qiaoyan sighed, feeling a little regretful. It's not that she doesn't have the ability to do so. In fact, some things depend on the person. If Shi Chun was her son, Miao Dingyi's son, or even their son-in-law, those major weapon-refining sects would definitely have to think twice before deciding whether to take action against Shi Chun, because Miao Dingyi also has the ability to retaliate against people at their level. After all, the relationship between their family and Shi Chun has not reached that point yet, and it is impossible for her Miao family to help at all costs. It is a relatively unspoken rule. I can give face to your Miao family, but you can't expand your face infinitely. What if you expand it to the point where you have to protect everyone? If you really do that, it means that your Miao family is ignorant. What about the interests of others? Can the interests of others be sacrificed casually? This is not a matter of whether it is feasible or not, or of giving someone a heads up to save face. This is a matter involving huge interests, and it is difficult to give in in the face of interests. What else can they do now? The mother and daughter can only continue to wait with worry for the results of this conference. Seeing that his future mother-in-law was reasonable, Gong Shaoci was secretly relieved. He was really afraid that she would ask him to do his best... Some things can be ignored by some people, but they are bad news for others. Duan Xiangmei was standing in the crowd, gazing up at the Divine Fire Spirit Gate in the sky. Occasionally, he looked back at the eaves of a nearby inn, where a man in green was standing with his hands behind his back. Because she was familiar with Xiang Lan'er and Feng Chi, and was with them, the situation around them would leave an impression in her mind, so even she noticed that the man in green seemed to appear around them often. Xiang Lan'er, who was standing by, accidentally noticed the direction Duan Xiangmei was looking at, so she took a look and also spotted the man in green. She was somewhat surprised, so she nudged Feng Chi with her elbow to signal him.

Feng Chi was also surprised after taking a look. Both of them realized that something was amiss. The man who had nothing to do didn't like to appear in public, and every time he showed up it was because he had something to discuss with them. Therefore, they realized that something might have happened again. As a result, they inadvertently discovered that the man in green would occasionally look at them, and their eyes met. In fact, the man in green just wanted to watch them from a distance, because things had indeed changed again, and they kept changing so much that he didn't even know what to say. Besides, there was no need to tell everyone about some things. However, Xiang Lan'er, realizing that something was wrong, had already signaled with her eyes. Not long after, Duan Xiangmei discovered that after Xiang Lan'er and the others left, the man in green also disappeared. She frowned and wondered in her heart, is it really a coincidence? The three people who had disappeared met again at the old place, behind the reef on the seashore. "Has something unexpected happened again?" This time it was Xiang Lan'er who asked the question. The man in green remained silent. He didn't want to keep informing them because no matter how things changed, there was no need to inform them again. He just let them continue with the preparations they should have made before. However, since they had already met and asked, and the other party was a saint after all, the man in green thought about it and decided to tell them the new news, telling them how the weapon refining world had slapped the face of Young Master Nan and his gang, and how the Mingshan Sect had been punished and eliminated. Xiang Lan'er couldn't help but gnashing her teeth after hearing this. "What a despicable bunch of old foxes! Can't the higher-ups just sit there and watch?" It is impossible not to hate him. You have to know that if Shi Chun has made a contribution this time, then it means that their group has made a contribution, and it is a huge contribution. Their status in the demon world will be greatly improved immediately. Rewarding according to merit is a basic rule in any group. The man in green spread his hands slightly, which was unusual. "Someone violated the rules in the Divine Fire Territory. We punish all violators equally. Who can influence that? How can we influence that? We can only sit back and watch." Feng Chi clenched his fingers in hatred, "One day, I will slaughter all these traitors!" But she soon became as worried as Lan Qiaoyan, her heart trembled, and she asked hurriedly: "Gan She and his men ran away in disgrace. Without their support, how could those weapon-refining forces let Shi Chun's secret method of finding the divine fire leak out?" The green-clothed man said: "Don't worry about this. The higher-ups have seen Shi Chun's ability and think it is useful. What's more, the higher-ups also want to know what the secret method of finding the divine fire is. By then, someone will take action to clamp down on him. Although it will not be easy to influence those big sects to gain profits, it should be no problem to protect Shi Chun's life." "Alas." Feng Chi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Well, if I can't win, then I can't win. As long as I have the green mountains, I will not be afraid of the firewood." Xiang Laner glanced at her... Among the various people waiting for the result on the beach, a man in gorgeous clothes walked towards Mulan Qingqing, who was dressed as white as snow, with a clear goal. From time to time, he stretched out his hand to push the crowd aside to pass. Some people were disgusted and wanted to say something, but were glared back by their followers behind him. The man in fancy clothes was named Qi Ziyuan, and he had fairly distinct features. He was also a member of Qian She's gang and one of the people who did not leave. The reason he did not leave was because of the woman in snow-white clothes in his sight. Although his goal was clear, he seemed to have met someone by chance. When he passed by Mulan Qingqing, he suddenly turned around and said, "Miss Mulan, why are you here?" Mulan Qingqing tilted her head to look at him and found that he looked familiar. She must have seen him before, but she couldn't remember who he was. She is a rather introverted person and doesn't like to interact with people, especially strangers, so she simply pretended she had never met him and didn't respond. In the eyes of outsiders, this is naturally arrogant. Qi Ziyuan saw that the other party didn't remember him, but he would help him recall, "I, Qi Ziyuan, we met at the Su Yuan Sect's Millennium Ceremony." Since Mulan Qingqing was a guest who came to show her support to Su Yuanzong, she couldn't be too rude and bowed slightly to greet him. That was it, still no words were said. However, those who can come to her must have known her character for a long time, and those who are thin-skinned will not rush to get close to her.

Since he dared to come close, he must have brought something to talk about. With just a look from him, his followers immediately pushed the people nearby away. After he was a little more comfortable, he whispered beside Mulan Qingqing: "I didn't expect to meet Miss Mulan here. By the way, I heard that Miss Mulan has a grudge against that guy named Shi Chun. I just happen to have good news to tell you." He leaned slightly closer to Mulan Qingqing, taking the opportunity to sniff her body fragrance. A pleasant feeling flashed across his face, and he raised his hand to cover his mouth, whispering, "I just got some news. It's not certain whether Shi Chun can come out this time. Even if he does, he basically has no way to survive. This is a good opportunity to vent Miss Mulan's anger." Mulan Qingqing was a little disgusted by his approaching action, but after hearing this, she was somewhat stunned and turned her head to look at him seriously. Later, she looked up at the natal lotus lantern in the air again. She had felt strange before. The exit was clearly open, so why didn't Shi Chun and his gang come out yet? Could it be related to what the guy in front of her said? She looked around again and realized that this was indeed not the place to talk, so she immediately responded, "Excuse me for a moment." "Okay." Qi Ziyuan agreed immediately and waved his hand to signal his men to clear the way. So they broke out from the crowd. It was not until they reached a secluded place where few people were around that Mulan Qingqing asked for details. Qi Ziyuan wanted to please the emperor, so as long as it did not violate any taboos, he would tell the emperor everything he knew, and he would tell the emperor all the details of the situation. Mulan Qingqing was really shocked after hearing this. She didn't expect that Shi Chun could compete in the field that he was good at in the weapon refining world, and she didn't expect that Shi Chun could survive until now under the siege of various factions in the weapon refining world. It should be noted that most of the participants in this conference are at the high martial arts great success realm. The great success realm and the so-called small success and upper success realm are completely different concepts. It is like a fruit. A newly grown small fruit is a fruit, and a fruit that grows into a larger shape is also a fruit. However, compared with the fruit that has fallen off the stalk when ripe, eating it green and eating it ripe are completely different things. She also didn't expect that Shi Chun could stir up the entire weapon-refining world to target her. There was shock, surprise, and perhaps even yearning in her eyes, because Shi Chun did something she dared not do. After calming down, he returned to his aloof demeanor and bowed to Qi Ziyuan, "Thank you." He just said thank you and then turned and left immediately. "Uh..." Qi Ziyuan was speechless. That's it? After coming to his senses, he waved and shouted, "Miss Mulan, Miss Mulan..." However, the other person no longer paid any attention to him, which made him confused and dumbfounded. He was hesitating whether to continue following her. Mulan Qingqing had her own things to do, and this time she had a clear goal, so she went straight to the two people on the island who seemed to be wandering around leisurely. When Mulan Qingqing stood in front of the two men, they were still confused. One of them asked in confusion, "Miss, is there something wrong?" Mulan Qingqing said indifferently: "In the past two or three years, you have followed me more than a dozen times, right? Tell him next time that if he wants to follow someone without being discovered, he should at least rotate with unfamiliar faces." As soon as these words were spoken, the two men's expressions suddenly became interesting, and they stammered for a moment, not knowing what to say. Mulan Qingqing didn't want to listen to their explanation. She knew that he must have something to say if he came here. She said bluntly, "Shichun is in danger now. With his sharp eyes and ears, he should know what's going on. Tell him, I still say that Shichun can't die in the hands of others, but in my hands. I don't care what method he uses. As long as he can save Shichun this time and at least help me do something I want to do, I... recognize him as my father." The last sentence was said with great difficulty. Although I stuttered, I finally managed to say it. The two men looked at each other, and one of them seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter, and suddenly whispered to the other: "I'll go." After saying that, he flashed away quickly. (End of this chapter)
