Chapter 269 Brothers Playing with Fire
Seeing Ning Wuxie's reaction, Yuan Jing was even more happy. After saying a few more polite words, he turned around and returned to the cabin.
It seemed that he had completely ruled out the suspicion that Ning Wuxie would interfere with him, and even regarded him as a potential ally. He didn't pay much attention to the two brothers from the Strange Fire Tower.
Seeing the Alchemist Association withdrawing, the brothers let out a sigh of relief, looked at Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er, and walked over cautiously.
"Thank you, senior, for saving me," the brother, who had always been hot-tempered, bowed and said, "Master Ning? I have never heard that there is such a powerful person in Confucianism as you."
"It's normal. I joined Confucianism not long ago." Ning Wuxie waved his hands and said, "What's going on with you guys?"
The brothers of the Strange Fire Tower are obviously not very high in cultivation, that is, the golden elixir, but for a sect like the Strange Fire Tower that prefers side sects, the gold content of the golden elixir is much smaller than that of other major sects. Naturally, they are no match for the bearded man who was just outnumbered.
Of course, this lack of combat power is often made up for in other aspects.
At present, Danta has become a turbulent place, and many people on the deck have evil intentions, not to mention other people who have rushed from all over the mainland.
Two golden elixirs are really not enough and too dangerous.
"We are fire-cutters from the Strange Fire Tower. My name is Ye Liang, and his name is Ye Yong. Seniors should have noticed that we are twin brothers."
The people of the Strange Fire Tower call themselves fire-cutters, which may be related to their way of cultivation.
Ye Liang is indeed the elder brother. No wonder he always has a strong temper. On the other hand, Ye Yong is too cowardly. His eyebrows are always bitter and aggrieved, like a little girl.
"What are you doing in the Dan Pagoda?" Ning Wuxie asked. Before he finished speaking, he saw Ye Liang taking a deep breath to defend, and then stretched out his finger to add: "Don't say that you went to Dayu for business, I'm not stupid."
Ye Liang suddenly choked, thought for a while, and gave up the idea of getting through: "Senior, since you know, why are you still asking?"
"What do you think of the Strange Fire Tower, sending two golden elixirs to snatch the corpses of divine beasts? There are real powers in the Alchemist Association, and the forwards they send can subdue you. Why are you going there?"
Ye Yong lowered his head, as if Ning Wuxie's words had reached his heart, with a fearful and entangled expression. Ye Liang in front curled his lips and muttered: "...That's what the plan is..."
"Oh? The Strange Fire Tower has a plan? What plan?" Ning Wuxie suddenly became interested.
Ye Liang's eyes lit up: "...Senior promised to help us, and we will tell him."
"We just saved your lives, isn't it worth thanking you?" Xuan'er frowned.
"...But this plan is more important than our lives, so we can't use it as a thank you."
Ning Wuxie narrowed his eyes slightly. The Strange Fire Tower actually had a plan. Could it be that these two people were just here to explore the way?
"Forget it, I'm not interested in knowing either." Ning Wuxie finished speaking and was about to turn around and end the conversation.
At this moment, Ye Yong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Senior!"
Ye Liang and Ning Wuxiexuan'er were both startled. They didn't expect this kid to dare to speak. Ye Yong took out a flame-shaped token from the storage ring. The whole body was pitch black and glowing with colorful brilliance. He handed it to Ning Wuxie.
"Senior, here it is."
Sure enough, even if Ye Yong opened his mouth, he would still be afraid of society, and he would be silent as soon as he said something.
Before Ning Wuxie could realize what it was, she saw Ye Liang's eyes widen and he looked at Ye Yong in shock: "Brother, what are you doing?!"
His expression seemed to be very regretful and lamenting, and he was reluctant to part with the token, but he looked at Ning Wuxie and Ye Yong, but he did not dare to reach out and take it back. He could only suck in air with his teeth bared in distress.
"What is this?" Ning Wuxie asked.
When Ning Wuxie saw it, Ye Yong suddenly became a little nervous. He shrank his neck, swallowed and said, "This is... a token. Give it to a friend..."
His voice became softer and softer, and Ning Wuxie barely understood a few words.
Ye Liang on the side couldn't help but said: "This is the Sky Fire Token. After you get it, you can go to the Strange Fire Tower to receive the reward."
He stared at the token in Ning Wuxie's hand with a look of reluctance.
Ning Wuxie looked at the Sky Fire Token in his hand in surprise. It did feel like it was burning when he first held it, but it quickly cooled down and returned to normal temperature. Apart from the seven-colored scorching light in the darkness, there was nothing magical about it.
"What reward will the Strange Fire Tower give me?" he asked.
The Strange Fire Tower is a small sect after all, and Ning Wuxie doesn't think they will give any particularly good rewards.
"It depends on Lord Yandi's decision." Ye Liang shrugged.
Ning Wuxie smiled and shook his head. Although Ye Liang and Ye Yong were twins, their personalities were indeed extremely opposite.
Ye Yong was gentle and timid, and couldn't speak clearly. Seeing that he had helped them, he took the initiative to send the Sky Fire Order in return. Ye Liangze was a man of no hesitation, and he didn't let up even when being cornered by people from the Alchemist Association. Now he wasn't very nervous when dealing with Ning Wuxie, and he didn't seem to have anything to be ashamed of or grateful for.
"Okay, thanks." He imitated Ye Liang's tone, put the Sky Fire Token into the storage ring, and winked at the young man.
"You're welcome." Ye Liang raised his chin at him, cool and neat, "So senior, really won't cooperate with us? Our brothers are really not as miserable as you think."
"The Alchemist Association and the Strange Fire Tower are asking me to cooperate. Who should I help?"
"Of course you help whoever gives you more." Ye Liang curled his lips.
"Yes, can your Strange Fire Tower give me more than the Alchemist Association?" Ning Wuxie looked at him with playful eyes.
"..." Ye Liang was silent, looked up at Ning Wuxie, and stopped talking.
"I don't know, senior, must you have forgotten what I said." Ye Liang was surprisingly frightened, and after speaking, he led Ye Yong back to the cabin.
Ning Wuxie looked at this pair of contrasting fire towers with a smile, turned around and didn't take it to heart anymore.
With their low level of cultivation, there is no chance if they really want to fight for the corpse of the divine beast. I hope they don't have this intention, or they are just investigating the situation with the Strange Fire Tower.
The information that the Mythical Age is coming seems to have become an open secret, and all sects have begun preparations. The big sects hope to increase their strength to face the turmoil, while the small sects hope to turn around in this muddy water.
Ning Wuxie looked at Xuan'er beside her. As the culprit of all this, she leaned quietly in his arms and rested her head on his shoulder, as if nothing in the outside world could disturb or harm her.
