Chapter 1768: Feeling Particularly Down
This question also perfectly explained why Xie Qi and his men had not encountered An Jiuyue earlier, yet here they were, the three of them sitting and waiting for Xie Qi and his party.
“This…”
An Jiuyue looked at Qian Jiyun somewhat uncomfortably.
She seemed quite interested in the Hundred Legs Jade Space and conveyed a feeling that staying behind could be an option.
“If you want to take a look, then stay. Over there… let them wait,” he said.
“Delaying for a day is no issue,” An Jiuyue said with a smile.
“But… the two of you, the Hundred Legs Jade Space will not open until two days from now,” Xie Qi spoke up, reminding them.
From the sound of their conversation, did they think the Hundred Legs Jade Space would open tomorrow? But it would not open for another two days. If they were to stay only one day, they would miss the spectacle of its opening.
“If it’s going to take that long, then maybe…” Upon hearing Xie Qi’s words, An Jiuyue feigned hesitation.
“No matter, stay,” Qian Jiyun said, raising his hand to lightly touch the top of her head.
“A few days’ difference doesn’t matter; we might as well enjoy ourselves here.”
“But if that person dies…”
“If he dies, he dies,” Qian Jiyun cut her off, seemingly with no regard for another person’s life.
“No one is more important than you. Our decision to save a life has always been capricious. If he is saved, it’s his good fortune; if he dies, it’s his fate.”
“So you both have decided to stay?”
Xie Qi perked up upon hearing their conversation, dragged a chair over, and sat opposite them.
“If you want to see the opening of the Hundred Legs Jade Space, I can take you. I won’t lie to you; I am the Young Sect Master of the Evil Sect. I am here at the invitation of the Sect Master of the Thousands of Demons Sect to go to the Hundred Legs Jade Space,” he said.
His curiosity about these three had only grown; he truly wanted to know their origins.
From his perspective, anyone who could casually produce three Eighth Grade antidote pills couldn’t possibly be ordinary. Certainly, they were worth getting close to, even if it meant being somewhat forward.
Besides, these two acted as though Eighth Grade medicinal pills were of little significance to them, as if they were dispensable trinkets.
At this point, the two elders had nothing more to say. If they could befriend these three and get them to join their Evil Sect, would they need to fear the Thousands of Demons Sect swallowing them up anymore?
But this man in front of them was not easy to deal with.
This tendency to oppress others with his authority at the slightest disagreement was truly unpleasant, especially for the Ninth Elder, who had been the one oppressed, feeling utterly defeated.
“You talk too much,” Qian Jiyun replied curtly to Xie Qi with just four words.
The Young Sect Master of the Evil Sect, yet he comes across as a clown; it’s truly exasperating.
“I’m not being talkative; I’m explaining to you. You want to see the opening of the Hundred Legs Jade Space, don’t you? Ordinary people can’t get up to the Thousands of Demons Sect, but if I take you, you’ll be able to see it,” Xie Qi said, patting his chest with a look of smug satisfaction.
And the two elders behind him were filled with resignation. They couldn’t help but think: if these three really wanted to get into the Thousands of Demons Sect, couldn’t they find a way on their own?
Although that was true, if they wanted the Sect Master of the Thousands of Demons Sect to let down his guard completely, then Xie Qi would have to be the one to take them there.
