Chapter 1243 Binding Successful
Yunxi smiled and replied with the same words:
“Brother Yuwen, you must be joking. You should know that there are also immortals with the strength of Immortal Lords who enter the Langhuan Secret Realm. Our sisters and I are weak and can’t compete with those high-level immortals. Instead of hoping for the impossible, we should be more realistic and hold onto what we can get our hands on.”
Di Fei, standing to the side, chimed in:
“My sister and I never intended to compete for the divine artifact from the beginning. Without the matching strength, even if we obtained the artifact, we would probably become the target of everyone once we left the Langhuan Secret Realm. We still want to ascend and don’t want to cause trouble for ourselves.”
Upon hearing this, Yuwen He's eyes flashed, and then he smiled.
"Since you two have such important clues, you could have easily made a deal with a powerful expert at the Immortal Lord level. Why did you choose me?"
Yunxi blinked and said:
“Brother Yuwen, our strength as sisters is undeniable. If it's a transaction with a powerful figure at the Immortal Seeking Monarch Realm, who can guarantee they will honor their promise?”
Di Fei was much more direct. She looked at Yuwen He and said:
“We did choose to make a deal with you for a reason. At least if you fail to keep your promise, we can get away unscathed. Although we sisters can’t beat you, we are good at escaping. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to advance to the Upper Immortal Realm so smoothly.”
After hearing their explanations, Yuwen He understood the sisters' ulterior motives, but he still asked:
"What if, after you get what you want, you resell the clues to the artifact to other immortals who have entered the secret realm?"
Yunxi sensed that Yuwen He was inclined to accept the deal, so she smiled and said:
“We sisters can swear an oath to the heavens that we will only tell you about any clues about the artifact, and we will not tell anyone else except the three of us. Otherwise, we sisters will be left in the Langhuan Secret Realm forever.”
Di Fei nodded very seriously. With her and Ran Xi's strength, they could find the artifact themselves. They wouldn't be foolish enough to sell the clues. As for Yuwen He in front of them, he would have to be alive to find the artifact.
Looking into their sincere eyes, Yuwen He knew they weren't lying to him, so he nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll take the deal."
Yunxi got the result she wanted, and with a smile, she waved her sleeve and released a "Heaven and Earth Contract". She wrote down the contents of the transaction between the two parties with a talisman pen, and then the three of them signed and sealed the contract. The contract seal flew to the foreheads of the three people respectively, indicating that the contract was established. If anyone violated the contract, the contract seal would severely damage the sea of consciousness of the violator as punishment.
Yuwen He was very satisfied with this, as it provided security for both parties, so he accepted the contract and prepared to leave.
Di Fei moved closer like a boneless snake, and said in a sweet voice:
“Brother Yuwen, we arrived late and haven’t found a place to stay in Luming City yet. Would we be willing to stay at your place for a few days? Don’t worry, we sisters will make sure you are satisfied.”
She even winked after saying that, the implication being quite obvious.
Yun Xi, of course, wouldn't let him down. She flashed to Yuwen He's other side, reaching out to take his arm. Her captivating eyes fixed on Yuwen He, she said in a high-pitched voice:
"Brother Yuwen, our sisterly dual cultivation technique is unparalleled in the world. It can not only help you relax, but also help you improve your cultivation. There are many immortals who want to win our favor, so don't miss this opportunity!"
Yuwen He felt a chill run down his spine. He now understood why these two seemingly ordinary female immortals possessed such cultivation levels; it turned out they had achieved it through dual cultivation. If he hadn't encountered them under these circumstances, he certainly wouldn't have refused.
But now that there's a deal between the two sides, and the Langhuan Secret Realm is about to open, he won't risk losing more than he gains. What if these two were after his cultivation from the start? If they manage to seize his cultivation through dual cultivation, one of them can at least advance to the Upper Immortal Realm, giving them more confidence to enter the Langhuan Secret Realm.
Seeing the deep scheming in the sisters' eyes, Yuwen He dodged their attack from both sides with a swift movement, and said calmly:
"I'm not used to living with people, so I won't invite you two. I still need to buy some things before the secret realm opens, and we'll meet at the entrance then."
After saying that, he waved his sleeve to open the barrier around the private room and slipped away.
Yunxi and Difei exchanged a glance, a hint of mockery flashing in their eyes. Difei even clicked her tongue and said:
“Qianjiao, it seems that Yuwen He is very wary of us. I was hoping to use this deal to find a free place to stay. If I could also take away his cultivation, that would be even better.”
Yunxi scolded playfully:
"Bai Mei, don't scheme too much, or you'll get nothing. Finding a defensive soul artifact is the most important thing. With a soul artifact protecting us, it will be much easier for us to seize the cultivation of immortals."
As the two were talking, the door to the private room closed again. Yuwen He, who hadn't left, overheard most of their conversation before the barrier fell. His eyes flashed, and he had already decided on their fate. He snorted coldly and left the teahouse.
After confirming that Yuwen He had left, Yunxi and Difei stepped into the teleportation array and went directly to the Inquiry Pavilion.
At this moment, Xiao Shu and Chan Jia were packing their belongings, preparing to leave Luming City. The evil immortal's trick of diverting trouble had put them in a rather passive position, so Xiao Shu decided to leave temporarily. It was not surprising to see Yun Xi and Di Fei appear in the shop.
Chanjia stepped forward with a smile, cupped her hands in greeting, and asked:
"Two Immortal Lords, did things go smoothly?"
Yunxi nodded and said:
"It went smoothly. We've successfully teamed up with Yuwen He. We'll make our move once we enter the secret realm."
Upon hearing that things had gone smoothly, Chanjia boasted:
"Immortal Lord Ranxi, how was my acting?"
Yunxi praised without reservation:
"Not bad, especially that glare he gave me when he left."
Chanjia smiled even more happily after being praised, while Xiaoshu, standing to the side, felt a little embarrassed to watch. He was playing himself, without the slightest bit of pretense.
Di Fei was visiting the Inquiry Pavilion for the first time, and she wandered around like a familiar face. Chan Jia, being very perceptive, stepped forward to introduce the Inquiry Pavilion's services and also gave her a small cicada, indicating that anyone who wanted to buy or sell information could contact her through the cicada.
Di Fei knew that Yun Xi was using this tiny creature, no bigger than a thumb, to relay the battle situation in the Thousand Water Mountains. So she separated a wisp of her soul and placed it on Xiao Chan to establish a connection with her. Next time, she would be able to communicate directly with Chan Jia.
Yunxi then came to Xiaoshu's side, squinted her eyes, and said:
"Xiao Shu, is the information you gave me true?"
Xiao Shu proudly raised her chin and said:
"Of course it's true, I wouldn't stoop to trading fake news."
Yunxi raised an eyebrow and said:
"There really is a divine artifact in the Langhuan Secret Realm? I thought it was a rumor spread by the evil immortal to trick you, so that the Wenshi Pavilion would become the target of everyone's criticism, and you and Chanjia would be unable to leave Luming City for the time being."
The precocious-looking boy stood with his arms crossed and said:
"I have plenty of ways to leave here. Besides, I not only played along with your act, but I also gave you clues about the artifact. Shouldn't you reciprocate in kind?"
Yunxi knew Xiaoshu's personality well, so she simply asked directly:
"what do you want to do?"
