Chapter 471 Crossover

Chapter 471 Crossover
If there weren't people following the Observatory around him, he really wouldn't dare to brag about the Observatory. If it got out, he wouldn't be able to explain it clearly. It would be easier to explain with people from the Observatory present.

The nine people on the floor looked more or less disdainful.

They all expected the other party to come here, so how could they not know how much Luo Yan was boasting when he said he had stopped the Stargazing Pavilion?

It just so happened that Shi Chun had heard them warn about this before, but he was not one of the nine people after all, and he didn't know how strong Luo Yan's ability to stop them would be. So the look in Shi Chun's eyes when he looked at Grand Master Luo was a little profound, and he didn't know whether it was real or he was just taking advantage of his ignorance.

Then again, if he didn't have some idea in his mind, he might have been fooled by the other party. Under normal circumstances, he would have been more than happy to get out of the Observatory, and given the other party's status and position, he wouldn't have thought much about the other party's bragging.

But now, of course, there are doubts.

If he doesn't dare to trust easily, he will offend the other party in the slightest no matter his status or position.

So he said with excitement: "Okay, please take me there. As long as the Observatory agrees to let it go, the price is negotiable."

Just one sentence revealed Luo Yan's true colors. He didn't even ask for money. The nine people on the floor either smiled or looked at each other with laughter.

However, Su Qiao, the leader of Jihuo Sect, frowned slightly, realizing that Shi Chun was not a good person. He also didn't know what was so funny about these guys around him. They dared to compete with Luo Yan just for a few pounds. Do they really think they can have any respect for us?
Luo Yan's heart sank slightly, but his expression remained calm as he said, "Tell me the secret method, and I will take you there."

He didn't talk about money for fear of alerting the enemy.

Well, Shi Chun understood immediately that this old guy was disrespectful and was actually playing tricks on him.

But he wouldn't expose it. He would be crazy to easily fall out with such a high-ranking figure.

He nodded excitedly and pointed to the list the other party had just given him. "Then please give me some first, senior."

Luo Yan, who had thought that he could easily control the opponent, now felt that everything was not going smoothly, as if he was being pressed everywhere. As soon as the opponent opened his mouth, he felt a little stuck.

If he really goes along with what he said, he should be scolding the other person now, saying, "Does my saving your life at the Observatory not amount to these valuables?"

But the problem was that he couldn't tell Shi Chun clearly that he could save the other person's life at the Stargazing Pavilion, and he couldn't make it clear as a deal. That kind of meaning could only be expressed vaguely, not clearly stated.

The Observatory gave him face by allowing him to talk first, but he knew the limits in some things and was so reckless that he gave away the evidence. If Mulan was really unhappy today, she could use this as an excuse to get rid of him at any time.

With his position, he would never give others an advantage easily.

If it were an ordinary person, he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble and could just capture the person and use force. But the problem is that this guy has Master Nan behind him, and Master Nan is standing outside watching him with a keen eye.

As for Young Master Nan's influence, his Liantian Sect really doesn't care, but Young Master Nan's influence is enough to make him abide by the rules on the surface. If you dare to mess up on the spot, unless you kill everyone present, you will be in trouble.

Since I can't say that, I can only go along with what they say and talk about money.

Today, he finally saw what it means to be a person from the Land of Exile. He insisted on asking for the money, and even at this point, he still did not forget to bargain. He said in a deep voice, "Why, are you afraid that I will default on my debt? I don't even know whether what you said is true or not. How can I give you the money?"

Shi Chun: "If it's false, I'll tell you. Senior, I might as well be frank. This secret is worthless to you if you tell it out. If you think it's worthless, then I..." He gestured back and forth with his hands, "Then I really don't know what to do."

Luo Yan glanced at the list and snorted, "He may not be big, but he has a big appetite. Who would carry so many things with him for no reason? It's impossible for the Nine Sects to carry so many things with them, right?"

Shi Chun hurriedly said, "I hope you don't blame me later, but I dare not take so much from you. Just try to make up for what you have with you. That's all I mean."

He didn't dare to bargain anymore, not because he was afraid of offending someone, but because he had already signaled Wu Jinliang to contact Situ Gu. If nothing unexpected happened, Situ Gu should be here soon.

When Situ Gu comes, it will be difficult to ask for the money. It will be embarrassing to let others take the blame and empty the pockets of other people's sects. No matter how thick-skinned you are, you can't make others turn against you.

Therefore, there is no time for the other party to raise funds slowly like the nine major sects. No matter how much it is, let's get it first.

Seeing that Luo Yan remained silent, the elder beside him understood and asked, "Try to collect as much as possible?"

Shi Chun suddenly said frankly: "Let's be clear, I don't dare to take your things. In fact, it's just a pledge. As long as Sect Master Luo really helps me get rid of the troubles at the Star Observation Pavilion, I will be grateful to you. How dare I take a penny? I will definitely return all the pledged things. I hope your sect will not take the pledged promise too lightly."

There is no need to say more about the rest. If the problem cannot be solved, it will naturally not be returned.

Things came full circle and returned to a certain point. He revealed the deal that Luo Yan dared not to talk about, and achieved his plan to make a fortune.

In short, this is acceptable to both parties.

Of course, Luo Yan's attempt to get something for nothing without paying any price was shattered.

Negotiations, that's what they are.

So the elder collected the money on the spot, and he had made it clear that too little would not work.

As a result, not only did he empty the pockets of the elders and two disciples, but even Luo Yan’s pocket was loosened before he was able to scrape together some money for Shi Chun.

However, Shi Chun discovered something interesting. Even Luo Yan's pockets were loose, but the other two disciples of the Liantian Sect standing next to him were indifferent, as if it was none of their business.

He was keenly aware that these two people were not disciples of the Liantian Sect, but might be from the Stargazing Pavilion.

There is no specific and accurate judgment, it is purely an intuition and feeling.

"Brother Nan." Shi Chun did not take the bag handed to him by the other party, but shouted to the outside.

So Master Nan ran in happily and asked what was going on.

It was nothing, so I told him that there was collateral in his pocket and asked Liantian Sect to send a disciple to go with him to count the things in his pocket so that he could use them to pay off the debt owed to Master Nan.

There was no debt at all. Young Master Nan understood as soon as he heard it. This meant that they had made some fortune from the Liantian Sect again. He was afraid that the Liantian Sect would snatch it back, so he naturally cooperated.

At the same time, I felt sad again, thinking that this brother's way of making money was really different from mine.

As soon as the two of them left, Luo Yan immediately asked, "Tell me, the secret method to find the divine fire."

He was in a hurry, and the Observatory also set a time limit.

Shi Chun had no intention of dragging things out, and simply said, "The reason why we can find the sacred fire so quickly is because of a kind of incense called 'Fire God Incense'. Once it is lit, as long as there is a sacred fire nearby, the fragrance will be attracted to the sacred fire. Following the direction of the smoke, we can find the hiding place of the sacred fire. This is the secret method you want to know."

Is there such a thing in this world? The people from Liantian Sect were slightly shocked and looked at each other.

Wait a minute, Luo Yan frowned, "Then what?"

Shi Chun spread his hands, "That's it, this is how I found the sacred fire."

Luo Yan: "Where did you come from? If you can't tell me where you came from, how can I know whether what you said is true or false?"

Shi Chun said without hesitation: "I don't know exactly where it came from. The Fire God Incense was given to me by your sect's elder Situ Gu. He asked me to bring it into the Divine Fire Domain and try it out."

"..."

The people present were all speechless, obviously stunned, and thought they had misheard. The nine people on the floor, although they could not see the reactions of the people below, could fully guess how shocked they were.

Luo Yan suddenly said in a deep voice: "Shi Chun, do you really think that I won't dare to touch you just because you are holding Nan Wu Yu's thigh? How dare you lie and deceive my Lian Tian Sect!"

Although he said this, his thoughts were a little confused. Many scenes flashed through his mind, including the scene when Situ Gu took the initiative to contact Shi Chun. He had felt a little confused before, and now it turned into full of suspicion.

Shi Chun smiled bitterly: "Master Luo, even if I want to deceive you, I can make up someone else. Why should I make up Senior Situ? This person is from your family. If he is fake, wouldn't he be exposed as soon as you ask?"

Another elder shouted, "Nonsense! If I, Elder Situ, really have such a treasure, why would I not give it to my disciples but to you, an outsider?"

Shi Chun spread his hands, "I'm also very confused. I still can't figure it out. I can't give you an answer to this question. He didn't tell me the details, and he didn't tell me when I asked him. You need to find out the truth yourself."

The expressions of the Liantian Sect members kept changing. In fact, they all began to believe it. As they said before, the interaction between Situ Gu and Shi Chun was too abnormal.

"Go and call Situ over yourself." Luo Yan suddenly instructed the elder beside him.

Naturally, we need to call someone to confront him.

"Okay." The elder responded and ran away quickly. He also knew that the time given by the Observatory was limited.

As the saying goes, it is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. The elder ran out and came back soon after, saying, "Elder Situ is here."

Luo Yan was startled, and took a few steps towards the door. Sure enough, he saw Situ Gu walking in from the gate. Needless to say, he must be here to look for Shi Chun again. His face suddenly became gloomy, and he shouted, "Junior brother, you came just in time."

He nodded and gestured to come over.

Situ Gu was also in a heavy mood, knowing that he had to finally face the appointment with Shi Chun. As he walked through the courtyard, he glanced at Wu Jinliang who had returned earlier, then walked straight up the stairs and into the hall without looking around.

Luo Yan stood in front of the wall of the main hall with his hands behind his back. After facing the wall for a long time, he turned around and stared at Situ Gu, asking calmly, "Junior brother, have you heard of the Fire God Incense?"

Situ Gu looked at Shi Chun.

Shi Chun spread his hands and said helplessly: "Senior Situ, your sect leader came to my door, I have no choice but to tell the truth."

Luo Yan's tone became more serious, "Junior brother, have you ever heard of the Fire God Incense?"

Situ Gu sighed, "Now that I've said it, there's nothing to hide. Yes, the Fire God Incense was given to Shi Chun by me. I made it myself."

Even though they had already guessed it, when he admitted it himself, the Liantian Sect group still gasped.

Shi Chun glanced at the floor, and two words popped up in his mind: Get it done!

Luo Yan tried hard to suppress his anger and said, "Since you have such a treasure, why don't you give it to your own disciples, but give it to outsiders instead?"

Situ Gu: "If something is used in the Divine Fire Domain, it may be poisonous and may have side effects."

The elders at the side couldn't help but clap their hands and said, "Brother, you are so confused. After you refined that thing, why didn't you inform the sect in advance?"

Situ Gu had someone already prepared a response, "I've informed you in advance that you may not tell the disciples in your sect. Even if you know it's poisonous, you won't disclose it to outsiders. You will still let some of the disciples who are attending the meeting use it."

"..." Luo Yan and the elder were hesitant to talk. Saying such things in front of the disciples made the two of them very angry.

The nine people hiding on the floor were completely relieved of their doubts and agreed deeply with Situ Gu's words. If they were in his place, they would do as Situ Gu said and would rather sacrifice some of their own disciples than let outsiders know.

Shi Chun sighed and joined in the fun, "I knew good things wouldn't fall from the sky, it turns out I'm just a poison tester..."

The elder who was holding back his anger interrupted and said, "Junior brother, how do you know how to make this kind of thing?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the nine people on the floor immediately tensed up and pricked up their ears. This was what they wanted to know.

"Okay!" Luo Yan interrupted urgently, "If you have anything to say, we can talk about it when we get back!"

Real secrets should not be leaked to outsiders.

He swung his sleeves and strode away with a look of anger on his face.

Situ Gu looked towards Shi Chun, but was pulled on the arm by a fellow elder and shouted, "Go!"

As soon as they left the house, Shi Chun hurriedly caught up with them, "Sect Master Luo, look at the Star Observatory..."

Without even turning his head, Luo Yan swung his sleeves to the sky, "You are using my Liantian Sect's affairs to demand my Liantian Sect's property. I am already being magnanimous by not holding it against you. Just fend for yourself!"

There is anger in the words, which means you should die.

It also means to use it as an excuse to shirk responsibility.

Shi Chunmaya ran down the stairs and stood there, watching the group go out. Suddenly he realized that something was missing. He saw a group of people in the yard staring at what was behind him. He turned around and saw that the two disciples of the Liantian Sect who made him feel unusual had not left with them, but were standing behind him.

Shi Chun said politely: "You two..."

Before he could finish his words, someone took out a token and handed it to him.

The token engraved with a star and moon pattern is so bright that it gives people a mysterious feeling, and it is even more colorful where the sunlight shines.

Shi Chun had never seen it before, but he had guessed what it was, and the result was as he expected.

The person holding the order said, "Xuan Ji Order, we are on errand for the Starry Viewing Pavilion. Please ask everyone in Ming Shan Sect to follow us!"

There was quiet surprise written on everyone's face in the yard.

The nine people hiding on the floor and listening attentively were as calm as stone sculptures, avoiding making any unusual noises.

Shi Chun sighed inwardly. No matter what, he had cleared himself of the matter of the Fire God Incense. It would be Situ Gu's responsibility from now on. The nine people hiding in the room were high-ranking figures. He didn't know if he would have the chance to see them again in the future. Anyway, he didn't need to say goodbye for now. He probably didn't want him to say goodbye to them. The more polite he was at this time, the more they might dislike him.

He sighed, "I'm finally here." Then he pointed to the side room and said, "Wait a moment, call our leader."

Regardless of whether others agreed or not, he walked straight to the side room, opened the door, and stood at the door and said to Tong Mingshan who was sitting cross-legged in meditation: "Master, let's stop practicing and leave. Someone from the Star Observation Pavilion is coming."

While speaking, he took out a talisman, turned his back to the outside, and quickly sent a message: Qingqing, your father sent people to stop me. If he really wants to take me away, I don't know if I will have the chance to see you again in this life. I will make an appointment with you for that competition in the next life.

After sending the message, he felt a little nervous when he saw Tong Mingshan slowly finishing his training, wondering if Mulan Qingqing could see it in time.

Fortunately, Mulan Qingqing responded quickly and asked: Where are you now?
Shi Chun quickly replied: Still in Qiyun Valley.
