"Yes, three veins. Blue Vein, Purple Vein, Red Vein!" Qing Shuang bit her gentle lips lightly, her voice carrying a hint of anger and heaviness. "When our Pei Family successfully rooted in Ghost Wolf City after a hundred years, the Blue Vein gave birth to a peerless genius. Not only was his cultivation talent astonishing, but even his alchemy potential was terrifying!"
"At that time, that peerless genius rose like a comet, leading the family to its peak! Within a few decades, the Pei Family, under his leadership, successfully ascended to the ranks of first-class powers in Ghost Wolf City! This, at the time, and even now, is seen by many as an incredible feat! But later..."
As she spoke, there was an unexpected note of pain in Qing Shuang's voice. Her pearly teeth bit her soft lips, trembling slightly.
"What happened later?" Chen Fei pressed on.
"But later, that peerless genius ancestor who led our Pei Family to its peak, suddenly died overnight." Qing Shuang's pearly teeth bit her lips, her lips quivered as she spoke.
"Died?" Chen Fei felt a tremor inside. His eyes then revealed a look of surprise.
"Are you talking about the Qingyue Pill King?" He hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"What's your relationship with him?" He pressed further.
The three veins of the Pei Family: Blue Vein, Purple Vein, Blue Vein. The name Qingyue Pill King contains the word 'Qing', and Pei Qingshuang's name also has a 'Qing'.
Could it be...
"That's right. I'm talking about Ancestor Qingyue. Ancestor Qingyue is an ancestor of our Blue Vein." Qing Shuang nodded, the anger and pain in her beautiful eyes deepening. Her fingers trembled slightly.
Seeing this, Chen Fei couldn't help but frown. Who would have thought this Qing Shuang had such a background?
Sweeping a glance at the still angry and pained Qing Shuang, Chen Fei hesitated for a moment before saying, "Was the death of Qingyue Pill King an accident?"
To suddenly die overnight, this was indeed a bit too strange, too unusual.
"Back then, we Blue Vein also thought it was an accident. Or, perhaps, it should have been done by the strong enemies of our Pei Family at the time, but until more than a decade ago..." As she spoke, Qing Shuang's eyes suddenly grew cold, revealing a look of resentment and icy coldness.
"More than ten years ago, what happened?" Chen Fei asked again.
But this time, Qing Shuang did not answer him. Instead, she said lightly, "I've already said everything that should be said and can be said. Now, can you agree to my request to trade that Treasure Map with me?"
"How do I know what you said is true?" Chen Fei shook his head and said lightly, "If what you said is really true, then returning this Treasure Map to you is nothing, but..."
Just as Chen Fei was saying this, Qing Shuang waved her hand, and a faint ripple appeared in her body, shimmering with light. Within the ripple was something Chen Fei was very familiar with. That crumpled Yellow Paper.
Chen Fei immediately took out the other Treasure Map from his Storage Bag. Upon careful comparison, they were identical!
"This was left by Patriarch Qingyue. Apart from the direct lineage of our Blue Vein, it is useless for anyone else to hold it." Qing Shuang waved her hand again, and Chen Fei's expression instantly changed slightly.
Because he could feel that the one-third of the Treasure Map in his hand actually wanted to break free from his grip! It was resisting his hold.
"Alright?" Seeing this scene, Chen Fei shook his head and smiled helplessly, saying, "It seems even it wants to return to its rightful owner? All right then, in that case, this thing is yours."
As he spoke, he directly tossed the Treasure Map in his hand to her without any hesitation or delay.
"You... you're just giving it to me like that? Aren't you afraid I'll renege?" Qing Shuang was stunned for a while upon receiving the crumpled one-third of the Treasure Map before she hesitantly said. Obviously, she was surprised Chen Fei was so straightforward.
"Renege? You didn't promise me anything, so what is there to renege on?" Chen Fei smiled and said.
"You!" Hearing this, Qing Shuang was stunned again, not expecting Chen Fei to say such a thing.
"You might not believe it if I told you, but frankly, I wasn't really interested in this so-called Treasure Map to begin with. But since the members of the Pei Family insisted on pestering me, well, there's no helping it, is there?"
Chen Fei shook his head and laughed, looking at Qing Shuang's surprised face, her soft lips slightly parted, and said, "Now that it wants to return to its rightful owner, I'll just be a nice guy for once. I see you hiding here in Azure Dragon Ravine, avoiding the world, you must have your reasons, right?"
"In that case, you should stay out of this matter. Let me have a good time with those guys." Chen Fei grinned, exuding a strong sense of confidence!
Qing Shuang was once again stunned upon hearing this. Her fragrant shoulders bare, her gauzy skirt trailing on the ground, her jade-like arms white as snow. Looking at Chen Fei, her beautiful eyes glistened with a faint shine. After a long silence, she suddenly laughed enchantingly.
"A little brat like you, talking like that, actually sounds a bit like a man." She giggled, her voice soft and charming.
Hearing this, Chen Fei shrugged nonchalantly, a playful feeling rising in his heart. He stepped forward, wrapping his arm around Qing Shuang's slender waist, and whispered provocatively into her ear, "Though I call you Lord Qing Shuang, I suggest you not speak foolishly? Anyway, let this be a reminder..."
As he spoke, Chen Fei's lips brushed past Qing Shuang's ear. The direct and domineering contact made Qing Shuang's delicate body tremble.
"What are you doing? Get away!" Qing Shuang's soft voice was flustered, her pretty face turning crimson as she pushed Chen Fei away with one palm.
Chen Fei only felt a tremendous palm force hitting his chest, pushing him back, his blood and energy surging, stifling a groan. But having taken such great advantage, he was naturally 'satisfied'.
"Lord Qing Shuang, does this count as a successful deal? From now on, the Treasure Map is yours." Chen Fei said with a smile, turning to leave.
"Wait!" Qing Shuang's face still held a hint of blush, but she stopped Chen Fei, frowning as she spoke.
"That Head Elder, do you really not need my help?"
"We'll see when the time comes." Chen Fei shook his head and said lightly, "I was originally waiting for them to come. If you step in, wouldn't all my previous preparations be meaningless?"
"Besides, I, Chen Fei, don't have the habit of letting women lead the charge for me." He continued lightly.
"Do you look down on women?" Qing Shuang's beautiful eyes glared, unhappy.
"No, I just don't want you to tire yourself out. Alright, bye." Chen Fei waved and disappeared into the night.
The only one left was Qing Shuang standing still, silent for a long time. Occasionally her cheeks flushed, her eyes flickered, and sometimes, she suddenly laughed, the sound like bells ringing, as if she had finally let go of a long-held burden.
As a woman, she indeed was a bit tired. Never expected that a little brat would say such things, it's really...
