Bai Ge'er's words were vague, and Bai Ge'er pretended not to hear.
Bai Ge'er said loudly, "Attack them, capture them, and there will be rewards from the Grand Elder."
Shen Xiaoyan glanced at the people around her and saw a few familiar figures among them. Although she didn't know their names, she knew they were all elders of the Sun Scorching Sect.
No wonder Yan Rulie only brought Long Ting to the Holy Language Auction House. It turned out that the other elders were all sent here to wait for the rabbit.
Unfortunately, this time they were not waiting for a rabbit, but a nest of tigers.
Lin Xin and Mi Lefo winked at Shen Xiaoyan and the others, signaling them not to intervene. They would quickly finish the job in a short time.
However, Shen Xiaoyan felt that this was a rare opportunity and a good chance to practice.
Naturally, Shen Xiaoyan was not the only one who thought this way.
So, in the end, Lin Xin, Mi Lefo, Zhen Lingrong, Yuan Heng, Song Yan, Ru Maodu, and Yin Susu stood aside, while Shen Xiaoyan, Zheng Wei, Shen Xiaoming, and Yi Zhixie, along with Na Muzhong and the three little ones, rushed out together and clashed with the men brought by Bai Ge'er.
As for the white fox, he claimed to still be injured and a patient who needed to recuperate.
Shen Xiaoyan controlled the vines while keeping an eye on the three little ones.
Zheng Jiang and Zheng He were fine, cooperating perfectly.
But Ru Ruan was completely reckless. Fortunately, Sha Meng was there to electrocute anyone who tried to sneak attack Ru Ruan.
This was the first time Bai Ge'er had seen Zheng Wei and Shen Xiaoyan in action.
He had always thought that Shen Xiaoyan and Zheng Wei, coming from the Minor World, had negligible strength. But now, seeing them in person, he realized how utterly wrong he had been.
As his men fell one after another, Shen Xiaoyan and the others fought more fiercely. Bai Ge'er secretly regretted his mistake.
He had been careless this time!
Although he had suspected earlier that Yi Zhixie and the others might look for Shen Xiaoyan, he hadn't expected Shen Xiaoyan to be so formidable.
Seeing the situation deteriorating, Bai Ge'er made a decisive move and fled with his men.
Shen Xiaoyan and the others watched their figures stumble and disappear down the mountain road, all with smiles on their faces.
"Although their abilities are not great, they have good eyesight," Shen Xiaoyan said with a smile.
Na Muzhong raised an eyebrow and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Yi Zhixie immediately smiled, "Don't you see how fast they ran? If they didn't have good eyesight, how could they run so fast? They realized they were going to die and fled."
Hearing Yi Zhixie's words, Na Muzhong immediately laughed.
After laughing, Zhen Lingrong proposed to leave.
"We won't go with you. We need to get back quickly. Otherwise, if those people escape, we don't know when we'll find them again."
Yuan Heng knew that Zhen Lingrong's words made sense, so he didn't insist. Seeing Zhen Lingrong take out the spirit boat again, he said, "Then you go."
Unexpectedly, Zhen Lingrong shook her head, "You go into the valley first. We'll stand guard outside for an hour to see if those people dare to return. Once you enter the Medicine Emperor Valley, we can leave with peace of mind."
Shen Xiaoyan nodded, "Although the people of Medicine Emperor Valley are not highly cultivated, they have been able to exist in the Holy Spirit Continent for so many years, and they must have their own capabilities."
Just by preventing outsiders from finding Medicine Emperor Valley, they could ensure its absolute safety.
Hearing Zhen Lingrong's suggestion, Yuan Heng no longer refused. He smiled goodbye to Shen Xiaoyan and the others and turned to leave.
Just then, Yi Zhixie suddenly said, "I have something to say."
Yuan Heng turned back, asking curiously, "What is it?"
"Mu Zhong and I will not return to Medicine Emperor Valley for now. Zheng Wei and the others have helped us a lot. Now that they are in trouble, if we don't help, others may not say anything, but we will feel guilty. Although we know that with Hall Master Zhen and Elder Lin and Elder Mi here, there is nothing for us to do, we must do our part. Otherwise, this guilt will grow in our hearts and perhaps form a demon."
Yi Zhixie was exceptionally sincere as he said this.
Both his tone and expression were just right.
But Yin Susu and Yi Maodu, as his biological parents who had watched him grow up, how could they not understand him?
They could see his guilt and nervousness at a glance.
But even though they saw it, they didn't expose him.
After all, they understood that Yi Zhixie must have found an excuse to escape because he didn't want to have children.
Yin Susu felt very helpless about this. He was already old enough, but he was still unwilling to have children quickly.
If they were unwilling, she could only be anxious.
In that case, it was better to let them go far away.
As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind.
If she had to watch them linger around every day while she could only be anxious in her heart, that would be truly frustrating.
For the sake of her future health, Yin Susu waved her hand and said, "In that case, you can go. I only have one request: when you come back next time, bring my grandchildren with you. Otherwise, even if you come back, I won't let you in."
After speaking, she turned and left without waiting for their reply.
Yi Maodu looked at his wife's expression, his eyes full of laughter.
Although they were both old, his wife's temper was still like a child's at times.
Looking at his wife like this, he felt much younger.
"Be careful when you are out. Most importantly, use your brain. I don't expect you to help much, but I just hope you won't be a burden."
After speaking, Yi Maodu quickly turned and chased after his wife.
Yuan Heng and Song Yan didn't say much, just smiled and said they would wait for Yi Zhixie's return, and then they left.
Yi Zhixie and Na Muzhong watched their relatives' figures recede further and further, their eyes turning a little red.
In the Minor World, he could be called a monster due to his age, but with his family, he was still like a child.
This made him feel incredibly warm and cherished.
By the time Zheng Wei finished sighing and withdrew his gaze, an hour had passed. Bai Ge'er and his men had not returned.
Seeing this, Zhen Lingrong drove the spirit boat, making it fly into the air and expand. Then she said, "Let's go."
As soon as she finished speaking, she boarded the spirit boat with Zheng Jiang.
The rest of the people boarded the spirit boat one by one. After everyone was seated, the spirit boat sped away.
It was not far from the Holy Language Auction House, and it only took them half an hour to arrive.
They disembarked from the spirit boat at the city gate of Holy Language City and walked into the city on foot.
Although the auction had ended several days ago, Holy Language City was still bustling with people.
Since they had a purpose, they didn't waste any time on the way and rushed to the auction house as quickly as possible.
After the auction in the past few days, Zhen Lingrong had been recognized by everyone in Holy Language City. Wherever she went, there were greetings.
Zhen Lingrong remained indifferent. To her, this situation was too familiar to be surprising.
The people at the auction house were startled to see Zhen Lingrong and the others arrive.
After the initial shock, someone immediately reacted and rushed to find the person in charge.
Seeing their reaction, Shen Xiaoyan felt like crying and laughing.
Had Zhen Lingrong become a monster in their eyes after the auction?
If before it was just respect on the surface, now it had turned into fear.
It was good this way. Only by being feared enough would others not have malicious intentions towards you.
The person in charge came out with a smiling face. When he saw Zhen Lingrong, his smile almost stretched into a straight line.
"Hall Master Zhen, welcome. What brings you here?"
Without paying any attention to the flattering attitude of the person in charge, Zhen Lingrong directly stated her purpose.
"I want to ask who sold you the White Fox."
As the person in charge was about to speak, Zhen Lingrong spoke again, "Don't try to fool me. The White Fox has already told me."
Hearing this, the person in charge thought to himself, "If he's already told you, why are you still asking?"
Even if he were given a hundred dares, he wouldn't dare to say it.
"I wouldn't dare to lie, but I really don't know. I'll go and ask immediately. Please wait a moment, Hall Master."
Although the reason given by the person in charge was plausible, Shen Xiaoyan and the others all knew that it was just an excuse.
As soon as he left this door, he would immediately find his superiors to discuss countermeasures.
Even Zhen Lingrong was not worried at all.
No matter what they discussed, she would eventually get the answer she wanted.
After waiting for about fifteen minutes, the person in charge reappeared.
When he came out, he was still smiling, but this time his smile was a little more sincere.
"Hall Master Zhen, I have already asked. Someone really knows the answer to your question. A total of four people brought the White Fox, three men and one woman."
"They have been collecting various items over the years and selling them to our auction house."
"This time, because the White Fox was very precious, the reward was quite substantial. I heard from my subordinates that before they left, they said that after this job, they could rest for a few years and travel leisurely in the Eastern Immortal Land."
Shen Xiaoyan frowned upon hearing this. Did this mean that those people couldn't be found?
Zhen Lingrong also frowned, but did not speak.
The person in charge didn't expect Zhen Lingrong to ask anything and continued, "However, you came at the right time. They haven't been gone for long, and the first place they went to is not far from here, Hua'a Mountain."
"The peculiarity of Hua'a Mountain is that from the foot to the summit, various flowers are in bloom all year round, never wilting."
"If you see a flower there today, it will still be there tomorrow."
"It's as if time has stopped there."
"In the past, some people speculated whether there was any treasure there, otherwise, why would there be such a wonder? But after so many people searched, there was still no result, and gradually, no one was willing to investigate further."
"Although no one is looking for treasures anymore, the scenery there is beautiful and very suitable for viewing. Over the years, many people have visited there."
"I heard from my subordinates that before they left, they also said they wanted to see the scenery there, as a reward for their hard work in searching for treasures over the years."
After listening to the person in charge, Shen Xiaoyan felt a sense of mental confusion.
How did it sound like these four people felt they had worked too hard over the years and were now determined to enjoy life after making a fortune?
Although the person in charge spoke convincingly, Shen Xiaoyan felt that the truth was not like this.
At least, not entirely.
A look of displeasure flashed across Zhen Lingrong's face. This person in charge was glib-tongued, and there was little truth in his words.
"Stop talking nonsense. Tell me their names, their characteristics, and if possible, their appearances."
