291 Liu Yuan’s Thousand-Layer Strategy
Ling Hua suddenly asked from behind, causing Liu Yuan’s heart to subconsciously tighten.
But on second thought, he realized that he had nothing to do with Yuan Hongli. They had only met once. When they first met, they were both there to ask for Xie Qian’s Experience Scroll, so they were basically enemies.
Although he had given her another scroll because she was pretty, it was purely out of appreciation. They had no social contact, and this was only their second meeting.
If there was really an affair, it could only be that this girl had fallen in love with him at first sight. She would dream of him every night, and now she waspletely infatuated with him.
Think, think carefully, is this possible?
She was a Young n Master of the Fusang n, a country’s princess, who was doted on by thousands. Why would she throw herself at a man she had only met once?
Obviously, this was impossible.
So, this little girl who did not know the truth must have misunderstood something, or she was just joking.
Thinking of this, Liu Yuan felt much more at ease. His expression did not change and he calmly asked, “Brother-inw?”
The trace of doubt in his eyes was so real, and the slight confusion was reflected in his slightly furrowed brows, fully demonstrating the professionalism of an innocent passerby.
At this moment, it was a perfect n to respond to all changes by staying the same.
As the saying went: ‘A straight body is not afraid of a crooked shadow’. There was nothing between him and Yuan Hongli, so he was not afraid of a sudden Asura field.
Ling Hua was suspicious at first, but Liu Yuan’s acting was too good, so she looked at the girl again.
Su Lanfeng, who was at the side, looked down. Having been a spy in the demonic sect for decades, she knew the principle of listening more and speaking less. At this time, it was obviously the Guardian’s private matter, so it was better for her to be a wooden stake with no sense of existence.
But she cursed in her heart. No wonder the Young n Master was called over directly. It turned out to be such a rtionship… However, the person behind him seemed to be the Holy Messenger’s guard. She seemed to be particrly concerned about Guardian Zhu’s private life.
The Guardian is indeed amazing. His love debt is more powerful than others.
A faint blush quickly spread across Yuan Hongling’s face. She hurriedly pulled the girl in front of her back and said, “Xi He, don’t talk nonsense! I… I’m just an acquaintance of the Guardian.”
She did not know much about Liu Yuan’s current situation, so she could only mimic the way Su Lanfeng addressed Liu Yuan.
Xi He’s mouth was covered, and she cried out a few times. She shook his head and showed a pleading look. Yuan Hongling was so anxious that she warned her with her eyes that if the situation did not allow it, she would probably beat her cousin up with her pair of weak little fists.
Xi He nodded hurriedly and was released. She hid behind the middle-aged man, made a funny face, and then quickly disappeared. She said in a low voice, “You two even exchanged love tokens. How can you be ordinary acquaintances?”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. Not only Yuan Hongli, but Liu Yuan was also dumbfounded.
Wait, wait, wait, when did they exchange love tokens?
Liu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted. She was probably talking about the exchange between the Golden Crow True Yang and the Experience Scroll, but how could that be the same as the exchange of a token of love? This little girl was clearly pestering him.
This was not the time to joke. He had just told Ling Hua that he had nothing to do with Yuan Hongli, and then he turned around and said ‘Brother-inw’ and ‘love token’. Even ghosts would not believe him.
Liu Yuan could only apologize to Yuan Hongling in his heart. He then snorted coldly and said, “Little Girl, if you really want to say that, it should be Yuan Kaixuan who exchanged love tokens with me. What, is there something going on between me and your n Master?”
This little girl’s impudence reminded him that he must not ruin his image now.
Under such circumstances, his image to the public was that of a cold and ruthless killer of Bi Luo Mansion, the personal Guardian of Netherworld. He could not suddenly be close to the Young n Master of the Fusang n. Instead, he should act as if he put his own interests first.
…Moreover, keeping a distance like this could reduce Ling Hua’s suspicion and worry.
He called Yuan Kaixuan by his full name, causing the Fusang people’s expressions to change slightly. Yuan Hongling was also slightly startled, probably feeling that Xi He’s words had annoyed him, and wanted to step forward to apologize.
Liu Yuan waved his hand impatiently and strode to the seat of honor. He said coldly, “Alright, I didn’t ask you toe here to reminisce about the past. There’s no need to be so calctive over this. I don’t care what you’re here for, but if you want to know where the Phoenix is, so you’ll have to answer a few questions.”
As soon as his aura changed, there was a feeling that his emotions were unpredictable.
Just now, his words were still gentle, but now he was mocking and ridiculing a child’s words, and his words were all about cold interests.
Xi He, who was hiding behind the middle-aged man, felt as if she had been doused with a bucket of cold water. She looked at Yuan Hongling helplessly, feeling that she might have done something bad.
Yuan Hongli still subconsciously treated Liu Yuan as harmless and was about to nod when she was suddenly interrupted by Yuan Bang, whose face was covered in knife marks. Thetter said in a deep voice, “May I ask how many questions you have and what questions? And… How can you be sure that the location you know is the real Phoenix nest?”
The rest of the Fusang nsmen had also recovered from the earlier atmosphere. They gradually had an impression of the young man in front of them. He had be more realistic after being separated from the Young n Master’s description.
Liu Yuan’s heart rxed a little and he was very satisfied. This was more like it. With this rtionship where everyone took what they needed, there shouldn’t be any more problems!
He sensed that his Senior Sister behind him was startled, but she certainly didn’t think that he was rted to Yuan Hongling.
“The questions I want to ask are very simple. First, why are you looking for the Phoenix? Second, what are you going to do after you find the Phoenix? Third, what is the current situation of Fusang Sea?”
Liu Yuan continued, “As for how I can guarantee that the Nirvana Secret Realm I found is real, I won’t hide it from you. I have lost a lot of my lifespan for some reason. I don’t have long to live. If I don’t find the Phoenix blood, I will age quickly and die soon.”
Yuan Hongli cried out in surprise. Looking at his white hair, she murmured, “How could this be…”
“I see,” Yuan Bang nodded. “You need Phoenix blood more than we do, so you naturally can’t find fake information to deceive us. I roughly understand that you want to understand the situation of the Fusang Sea. This is the price we have to pay.”
Letting a Central ins person know about the current situation of the Fusang Sea was a dangerous matter, but they had no other choice.
Yuan Bang was silent for a long time before he started to talk about the current situation of the Fusang Sea and the reason why they hade to search for the Phoenix blood.
It was a long story. After Yuan Bang answered the three questions, he suddenly asked, “Aren’t you afraid that we will hold you hostage and force you to hand over the Phoenix blood? You’re only at the Soul Formation stage, and you’re only three steps away from me. If I want to, even that person behind you can’t stop me. ”
Behind Liu Yuan was naturally Ling Hua.
Liu Yuan smiled faintly and said, “You won’t. Yuan Kaixuan looks cold on the outside but is warm on the inside. Miss Yuan is soft on the outside but strong on the inside. Both of you are upright and sincere people. If you can protect her, you can’t be despicable. Besides… Mr. Yua, you’re mistaken.”
“Mistaken?” Yuan Bang looked at him. “How so?”
Before he could finish his words, his pupils suddenly shrank. The aura of the Soul Formation stage on the young man sitting in front of him suddenly changed and increased several times. He was actually at the form Synthesis stage!
“I’m a coward. If I didn’t have the strength, I wouldn’t dare to sit so close to you,” Liu Yuan said.
