"Looking for a beating, aren’t you!"

Gu Pengyou was quite displeased, surprised that she spoke of her embarrassing story in front of a guy.

"Hehe, I’ll say it, I’ll say it!"

Xian Si immediately ran away.

"Hmph!"

Of course, Gu Pengyou wouldn’t let her off so easily.

The two of them began to chase each other through the crowd.

"Come on, you can’t catch me?"

"Haha..."

Xian Si continuously laughed at her from behind.

In the end, Gu Pengyou got so angry that she used her spiritual power, catching her instantly.

"That’s what you get for laughing at me!"

She gave Xian Si a hard smack on her perky butt.

Chen Xuan could even see it bounce back distinctly.

"Not bad, not bad!"

He couldn’t help but nod in praise.

However, Gu Pengyou heard his comment and immediately turned around to ask, "What’s not bad?"

"Uh——"

Chen Xuan was embarrassed now, not expecting her hearing to be so good.

"I was saying September City looks great!"

Chen Xuan made up a story.

"Hmph! Liar!"

Xian Si exposed him on the spot; the place was crowded with people, where was the great view?

She clearly knew what was on a man’s mind!

"By the way, would you like to go to Nine Immortals Tower? Today a profound realm sea beast has arrived, should we go try it?"

Xian Si asked Gu Pengyou.

"Sounds good!"

Just happens to be hungry.

"Are you going?"

Xian Si looked at Chen Xuan.

"Sure! I’ve never tried a profound realm sea beast."

Can’t miss out on good food.

Besides, he wanted to meet Xian, she’s the granddaughter of Marquis Ning, maybe she knows about the treasure he left behind.

So the three of them headed to the Nine Immortals Tower.

At this time, it was just the right moment for the auction.

Under Zhu Jiu’s arrangement, the three of them went straight to the tenth floor.

"Sister Xian, Sister Gu, what brings you here?"

Ning Immortal smiled and greeted them as soon as she saw them; without the two of them, she might not have survived until now.

So she was very grateful to them from the bottom of her heart.

"It’s because a profound realm sea beast arrived, we came to taste it today!"

Xian Si said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, Chief Steward Zhu also mentioned it today, come on in!"

Saying that, she pulled the two women by their hands.

At this moment, Chen Xuan’s figure emerged from behind the two women.

He smiled slightly and took the initiative to speak, "We meet again!"

"Why are you here too?"

Ning Immortal immediately frowned.

"Don’t be rude, he’s Pengyou’s friend!"

Xian Si immediately scolded her.

Because Chen Xuan was aware of her background, and this matter hadn’t been told to her yet.

Not to mention his good relationship with Gu Pengyou.

No matter how you look at it, offending him wasn’t an option.

Ning Immortal was visibly startled, because in her impression Xian Si had never even spoken loudly, let alone scold someone.

She suddenly felt wronged and pouted.

"Alright, alright, he’s a good guy, there might have been a misunderstanding between you two last time. For Sister Gu’s sake, can we just have a drink together later and let it go?"

Gu Pengyou patted her head, comforting her.

"Okay!"

Ning Immortal reluctantly responded.

She wasn’t someone who didn’t know her limits, after all, the Nine Immortals Tower needed the Gu Family as a backing.

Of course, she had to save face for her.

After they sat down, Ning Immortal instructed the people outside, "I’m taking a break today!"

"Yes!"

The maid replied softly, then closed the door.

"By the way, Brother Xuan, could we have a look at that ancient book you have?"

After sitting down, Gu Pengyou immediately asked.

For the past few days, she had been thinking about this ancient book, and today, during their chance encounter, she wanted to ask several times, but thought it inappropriate to do so outside. Now she finally had an opportunity.

"Sorry, the elders at home haven’t agreed yet, let’s wait a bit longer!"

Chen Xuan hadn’t made up his mind yet.

After all, their relationship was just that of regular friends.

This matter needed careful consideration.

Upon hearing this, Gu Pengyou’s face showed disappointment.

"I’ll ask around there later, see if there are any ancient books available!"

Xian Si noticed her disappointment and spoke up.

Although the demonic aura has been completely eradicated, and she has lived in September City for some years, there were still some connections.

Moreover, she knew that when they besieged the city back then, they plundered quite a lot.

See if there are any ancient books among them.

What’s more, these books are of no use to them.

"Don’t!"

Gu Pengyou immediately rejected, her expression serious as she warned, "Since you’ve chosen this path, it’s best to sever all ties with them. Otherwise, if you make a slip, no one can save you!"

"Why so tense!"

Xian Si chuckled, "I know my limits, don’t worry."

Chen Xuan listened to the conversation between the two women.

Though it was just a few words, the information revealed was quite a lot.

"Them"... should refer to the Demon Race.

It’s just uncertain if they’re from the Three Caves of the Demon Realm.

If they are, then it’s interesting.

The Great Yu has stationed heavy guards at the entrance to the Three Caves of the Demon Realm, along with array formations, even his divine footwork couldn’t get through.

But Xian Si was able to have connections.

This... does it mean the demons inside can also come out?

Such speculation really sends chills down one’s spine.

While they were talking, Ning Immortal had already poured tea and placed it in front of the three of them.

Then she sat down.

Curiously, she asked, "What ancient book is it that makes Sister Gu keep thinking about it?"

But her gaze turned to Chen Xuan.

"An ancient text, which I got by accident, I don’t know exactly what it is."

With no other choice, Chen Xuan began to explain.

"If Brother Xuan’s family elders agree, please let Pengyou know as soon as possible, thank you!"

"Definitely!"
