A person is cultivating immortality, and at the beginning he is madly favored by the villain

Chapter 258

Su Xianyun was lost in thought when his slightly cold hands were suddenly enveloped by warmth, which immediately drew his attention back.

He paused, then quickly looked over, turned over his hand and held Yu Xi's hand again, as if wrapping around a small flame that could burn on the tip of his heart.

"Junior sister."

He softened his expression and spoke slowly but gently:

"Is there anything you like? I'll go out and buy it for you."

Yu Xi shook his head.

She was more concerned about why Su Xianyun was in a bad mood. Just as she was about to ask, Zhong Xian had already knocked on the table, indicating that he wanted to get down to business.

"In Huanghui City, I think there are three places where medicine men might be sold."

Zhong Xian stood up, opened the window, and looked out the window. He could see a very tall building not far away.

The building is ten stories high with a pointed roof. The entire floor is painted with a layer of gold paint, and is surrounded by a layer of golden light in the sunlight.

"Golden Tripod Tower."

Zhong Xian said: "Here are the finest beauties singing and dancing. From the first floor upwards, each floor is categorized into food, lanterns, toys and magical instruments, monsters and spirit beasts, gambling houses, singing and dancing, medical treatment, and medicinal herbs. The contents of the top two floors are kept secret. It is said that only the important figures in the immortal sect can go up there.

"The most important thing is that the Golden Tripod Building was jointly funded by the Yaotian Sect and the Xuanxing Sect, and it has brought them a lot of profits."

While talking, seeing Jizhi scratching his head and looking confused, Zhongxian resisted the urge to roll his eyes and patiently asked him again:

"Master originally found you in Huanghui City, so you must have escaped from the Xuanxing Sect. Do you remember where you escaped from?"

This question stumped Jizhi.

He racked his brains for a long time, finally wiped the corner of his mouth, and replied cheerfully:

“There’s a particularly fragrant cake.”

Zhong Xian: “…”

Yu Xi covered her face.

Hundreds of years have passed, and I don't know if that pancake shop is still open.

But this is also a clue.

Zhong Xian thought for a moment, and without wasting too much time, he quickly continued:

"The second place is a medical clinic that has been established for a long time, and there is no sign of any infiltration from that immortal sect.

"But the owner of this shop is a mortal, but he seems to have a special channel to get medicine. He can get all kinds of spiritual medicine from the immortal gate. He is open to anyone for treatment, charges a low price, and guarantees that the medicine will cure the disease. It seems normal, but it is also very suspicious if you think about it carefully.

"As for the last one."

Zhong Xian paused, his gaze sweeping across Huanghui City. "Fengya Pavilion is the most famous singing and dancing restaurant in the city. They sell a wide variety of artworks, poetry, calligraphy, and paintings, as well as various precious medicinal herbs. It was built by the richest man in Huanghui City."

Su Xianyun pursed the corners of his lips.

"The richest man?"

Yu Xi was a little curious.

Huanghui City is one of the most prosperous capitals in the human world. Anyone who can become the richest man here must be very powerful, right?

Zhong Xian nodded and said, "Rather than saying they are the richest people in Huanghui City, it's better to say they are the richest people in the Great Xia Kingdom in the human world. They are a cultivator family and are not affiliated with any immortal sect. However, their children with good talents will be sent to the immortal sect to study, while those with less talent will stay to do business.

"It is said that their current head of the family is now over 400 years old. Because they don't have to worry about whether the next generation will have the talent for business, their position as the richest man in the family is as stable as Mount Tai and has not been shaken for hundreds of years."

When he said this, Zhong Xian suddenly thought of something and looked at Su Xianyun:

"Strangely enough, their family name is also Su. What relationship does it have with you?"

Su Xianyun frowned and said in a choking tone: "No!"

He tried hard to disguise his emotions, but everyone could tell something was wrong.

Is it really related?

Yu Xi thought of Su Xianyun's very bad mood just now, and couldn't help but wonder if it was related to the Su family.

Seeing that Su Xianyun did not want to have anything to do with the Su family, Zhong Xian could not hide the disgust in his eyes. He immediately stopped talking and changed the subject:

"So now the problem is, these three places could be the routes for drug traffickers, or even all three. I'm afraid we'll have to split up into three groups."

"Divide the troops into three groups?"

Gu An, who was packing his sewing kit, suddenly realized something and quickly looked up: "There are only five of us in total. So according to your suggestion, Senior Brother, we should work in pairs, and the rest of us should work in groups of one."

Zhong Xian nodded.

The next second, Gu An immediately said, "I want to be in the same group with Senior Sister!"

Zhong Xian didn't expect this kid to be so quick-witted and even get ahead of him. He immediately slammed the table and said, "There's nothing to say. I'm the eldest brother, so listen to me. Xiao Xier and I will go together."

Su Xianyun was still disgusted with the Su family the previous second, and said he didn't want to go to Fengya Pavilion at all. But the next second, when he heard that he could be in the same group with Yu Xi, he immediately ignored everything else and stood up, his tongue slipping in his mouth in anxiety:

"Who cares if you're a senior brother or not! I, my junior sister! I'm with my junior sister!"

Zhong Xian glared at him, but Ji Zhi had already thrown himself behind Yu Xi, hugging her tightly and refusing to let go: "I want to be with my sister! I'm the most pitiful one, and my sister loves me."

Seeing Jizhi's head pressed against Yuxi's back, he was throwing a tantrum on the ground pitifully. Su Xianyun clenched his teeth, raised his hand, wrapped Jizhi with the magic thread, and hung him on the ceiling.

It's shameful to play the victim!

The next second, he noticed that Yu Xi was still holding his hand. He glanced sideways, revealing her true face with a hint of vulnerability in her eyes: "Junior sister, my hands are cold."

Yu Xi is not a hero and cannot resist the temptation of beauty. After a shock, he quickly rubbed Ji Zhi's hands.

Gu An's gaze fell on Yu Xi's hand, his amber eyes dimmed slightly for a moment, and he said, "Senior Sister, do you like beautiful people?"

"Huh? I didn't—"

"Speaking of which, Senior Sister, have you noticed? When I came here, I saw a shop selling porcelain figurines. Those little porcelain figurines are vivid and very cute. Some are even holding koi fish. Just looking at them makes you want to poke them. Senior Sister, if you are interested, when we pass by later, would you like to take a look?"

"Ah, besides the porcelain figurines, I remember when I came here alone, I passed through many towns. The ice sculptures there were also very beautiful. I learned a lot. If you are interested, please tell me what you want to see and I will carve it for you. I can put it in the room during the hottest summer. It is both enjoyable and cool."

Yu Xi's attention was quickly drawn to Gu An's endless chatter. Gu An had traveled to many places, so he could say whatever he wanted to say, and many of the things he said were things Yu Xi had never heard of before.

Seeing this, Su Xianyun looked at Gu An sinisterly for two seconds. He was a man of few words, and as soon as Gu An opened his mouth, he had no chance to interrupt. He could only pull Yu Xi's hand aggrievedly.

Jizhi, who was hanging on the ceiling, saw that he couldn't get free, so he just burst into tears and accused them of bullying him and snatching his sister from such a poor guy.

Zhong Xian, who was being ignored, gnashed his teeth and looked at them one by one with disdainful expressions. The louder the noise around his ears, the more wrinkles appeared on his forehead.

Other people's eldest brothers are respected and have everyone's support, but why is it that apart from Xiao Xi'er, there is no one he likes?!

All he does all day is snatch my sister away. He has no future at all!

Also, Xiao Xier is his sister!
