Chapter 60: Trailing, Poisoning

  "Senior Sister, do you want to buy anything else?" After cheg the purchased items, Xiao Yi Xian stored them in her Space Ring. She then turo Nan Yanran, who had a strange expression.

  Upon hearing this, Nan Yanran snapped out of her thoughts and shook her head, saying, "No need, let's go back."

  Xiao Yi Xian nodded, "Okay."

  Subsequently, uhe courteous farewell of the steward, the two slowly left the Miteer Au House.

  However, after Nan Yanran and Xiao Yi Xiahe Miteer Au House, a middle-aged man also slowly followed.

  Watg the departing figures of Nan Yanran and Xiao Yi Xian, a ess appeared in the man's eyes.

  "A seven-line purple gold card, a fifth-grade magical beast egg..."

  "It seems that this time, I've entered a big fat sheep..."

  ...

  After Nan Yanran and Xiao Yi Xiahe Miteer Au House, they didn't tio linger in the Holy City of Gama. Instead, they headed towards the city gate.

  After a short wait in lihe two slowly walked out of the city gate, returning in the dire of the Yu.

  "Senior Sister, what kind of magical beast is the fifth-grade magical beast egg that Elder Gu He gave you?" Walking side by side, Nan Yanran asked Xiao Yi Xian.

  Xiao Yi Xian answered, "It's an Ironwing Giant Eagle."

  Nan Yanran showed surprise, "It's actually a flying magical beast!"

  Nan Yanran envied a bit, saying, "Junior Sister, when the Ironwing Giant Eagle hatches, you must take me out for a ride."

  At these words, Xiao Yi Xian's face revealed a hint of yearning. She o Nan Yanran, saying, "Of course, if there's a ce, I'll take Senior Sister to my hometown, Qingshan Town. I know of a beautiful valley there, and Senior Sister will surely like it."

  "Qingshan Town..."

  Nan Yanran murmured. She grew up in the Holy City of Gama and had almost never left the city except for the time she went to Wutan City for the broken e. Naturally, she had never heard of Qingshan Town.

  "Well, in Qingshan Town, I also have a Blue Eagle friend. I'll bring it back to the Yu at that time." Xiao Yi Xian's eyes fshed with a hint of nostalgia. After leaving her hometown for so long, she also felt a bit homesick.

  She had decided that when she became stronger, she would visit Qingshan Town alone.

  "Alright, I'll apany you wheime es." Nan Yanran's eyes also showed curiosity. She rarely went out and was longing for the outside world.

  As the two walked and talked, they unsciously arrived in a dense forest.

  This dense forest was the route back to the Yu.

  When they came, Nan Yanran led Xiao Yi Xian along this path.

  "En?"

  At this moment, Xiao Yi Xian sensed something amiss and suddenly stopped.

  Seeing Xiao Yi Xian stop abruptly, Nan Yanran uzzled and asked, "What's wrong, Junior Sister?"

  "Senior Sister, I feel something is nht."

  Perhaps because she often frequehe Magic Beast Mountain Range when in Qingshan Town, Xiao Yi Xian was more sensitive to ges in the surrounding envirohan others.

  Now, when Nan Yanran inquired, Xiao Yi Xian became suspicious and said, "Senior Sister, when we came, it wasn't this quiet. It's eerily silent now, not even a bird's chirping. It seems strange."

  Upon hearing this, Nan Yanran's face slightly ged, and she sed the surrounding dense forest with a serious expression, "Indeed, something is amiss."

  Xiao Yi Xian suggested, "Senior Sister, for safety's sake, should we take another route?"

  Just as Nan Yanran was about to agree, her expression ged.

  Suddenly, four masked figures emerged in front of them, rapidly approag.

  "Junior Sister, let's go quickly!"

  Seeing this se, Nan Yanran's face ged. She grabbed Xiao Yi Xian and hurried towards the dire of the Holy City of Gama.

  However, before they could get far, they had to stop. Nan Yanran looked at the two masked men eared again with an unpleasant expression.

  At this moment, the four masked figures from behind caught up, f a circle around Nan Yanran and Xiao Yi Xian.

  "Didn't expect you two little girls to be quite vigint. Fortunately, we were prepared early; otherwise, you might have escaped."

  The middle-aged man eared at the Miteer Au House looked at Nan Yanran and Xiao Yi Xian, a sneer on his face.

  "What kind of people are you?"

  Nan Yanran's fader her cloak ged slightly, aourned cold, "Daring to attack us, have you sidered the sequences?"

  The

  middle-aged man sneered, "I know your identities are different."

  "After all, a seven-line purple gold card and a fifth-grade magical beast egg are not things ordinary people bring out."

  "However, when you e out, haven't your elders taught you the principle of keepih a secret?"

  The middle-aged man showed a fierce look, "Obediently reveal the treasures on your body, maybe I'll spare your lives."

  The other masked individuals also grinned, looking at Nan Yanran and Xiao Yi Xian with malicious i.

  Among them, the middle-aged man and another masked person possessed the strength of a Oar Dou Master, while the others were all Seven-Star ht-Star Dou Practitioners.

  With such strength, dealing with two inexperienced young girls was like taking dy from a baby.

  Feeling the oppression from the group, Nan Yanran's face ged. She regretted ning Steward Ge Ye along this time.

  It seemed that this time, their luck might not be so good.

  pared to Nan Yanran, Xiao Yi Xian appeared much calmer on the side.

  "Will you let us leave safely if I give you the treasures on my body?" Looking at the man in the middle, Xiao Yi Xian slowly spoke.

  Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man chuckled, "Of course, we're only after wealth."

  However, upon hearing his words, the other masked individuals revealed a traockery in their eyes.

  They khis was a trick the leader always used, aiming to lower the target's guard.

  These two young girls in front of them obviously had extraordinary backgrounds. If they let them leave alive, it would undoubtedly bring erouble.

  Therefore, they would absolutely not let these two young girls go.

  Hearing the words of these masked individuals, Xiao Yi Xian's eyes flickered. Dealing with meraries regurly, she naturally wasn't as naive as she appeared.

  However, what these masked individuals didn't notice was that, at some point, a jade bottle suddenly appeared in Xiao Yi Xian's hand. It quietly opened, releasing a colorless gas that slowly dispersed.

  Nan Yanran on the side quickly said, "Junior Sister, don't believe them."

  Although she was inexperienced, Nan Yanran could tell that these people were not good characters. If they handed over the treasures, these people would likely not let them leave unharmed.

  A hint of innoce appeared on Xiao Yi Xian's face as she said, "Senior Sister, they said they seek wealth. My teacher once said that wealth is aernal possession. Sihey want it, we'll give it to them."

  Saying that, Xiao Yi Xian slowly took off the space ring from her hand.
