Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation
chapter-1732

Jiang He appeared slightly confused. After a while, he smiled abashedly and said, “I think I should go first. Actually, the Dragon Pattern Cauldron that you bought was mine. I was also the one who manipulated the intense bidding war behind the scene. Brother, I’m sorry to have tricked you.”

Xiao Chen smiled and said, “Actually, I already knew that long ago. It is fine. No matter what, I would have bid for it.”

This startled Jiang He. He slapped his forehead and smiled. “I’ve really turned stupid. I thought that you were still unaware. Hahaha!”

Xiao Chen added, “I was the one who placed that bottle of Life Juice Source on auction.”

“What?!”

Jiang He jumped in shock, feeling stunned. The expression on his face looked as interesting as it could be.

After a while, Jiang He gave Xiao Chen a thumbs-up. He said depressedly, “Earlier, I was acting stupid. Now, I really am stupid. I thought that I caused you to make a loss, so I specially invited you to the Smiling Daughter Pavilion. It turned out that I gave you money. I’m too pitiful.”

When Xiao Chen saw Jiang He’s expression, he burst out in involuntary laughter. “It’s still alright. In the end, those Spirit Jades all ended up with the Smiling Daughter Pavilion, helping you regain face.”

Who would have imagined that Jiang He would smile mysteriously when he heard that? “Indeed. Haha! I took back that Fairy Basket in the end.”

A flower basket appeared in his hand. This was that mysterious flower basket that the young maidservant held in the Smiling Daughter Pavilion.

“Hahaha! How can I, Jiang He, lose out, when I go out? There is no way for that Smiling Daughter Pavilion to trick me out of my money.”

Jiang He felt extremely cocky. In the end, the Spirit Jades returned to his hands.

This truly shocked Xiao Chen. It turned out that when Jiang He said that he had to go and relieve himself, he had gone to steal the flower basket.

No wonder when Jiang He heard that Xiao Chen was leaving, he immediately followed.

With the flower basket missing, the later performers would not be able to make an appearance. They would definitely suspect the guests.

Jiang He used this opportunity to come out and fight a huge battle with Feng Chen and the others, to divert any suspicions the Smiling Daughter Pavilion’s people would have of him.

Having run into great trouble and fought a huge battle, how could Jiang He be in the mood to steal the flower basket?

This would immediately allay all suspicions of Jiang He.

Xiao Chen smiled helplessly. “You are great.”

Jiang He said calmly, “That’s nothing. I’ve already taken away all the Spirit Jades in there. Here, you can have the Fairy Basket.”

After saying that, Jiang He casually tossed the Fairy Basket to Xiao Chen, showing no care at all.

Xiao Chen caught the Fairy Basket, feeling somewhat stunned. “For me?”

Jiang He nodded and said, “After coming out for so long and wandering everywhere, there are very few that I can truly chat with. During the fight with those people today, I accidentally exposed some of my strength. I’m going to have to change locations again.”

Xiao Chen startled in astonishment. “Could it be that you also stole that Dragon Pattern Cauldron from the Dragon Race?”

Jiang He smiled awkwardly.

“Perhaps. It can be considered to be so. However…” He stretched out that last word, then continued seriously, “That story is not a lie. The Willow Leaf Saber did indeed use that Dragon Pattern Cauldron. Otherwise, I wouldn’t steal such an ordinary cauldron.”

Indeed, Xiao Chen guessed it.

Xiao Chen smiled bitterly. “The Willow Leaf Saber? Is this Willow Leaf Saber very famous?”

Jiang He assured him gravely, “Of course. The Willow Leaf Saber is the strongest talent of the White Dragon bloodline. That person’s bloodline is very pure, reaching Grade 7. No one knew of that person during that person’s first thirty years. However, the moment that person debuted, that person shook the entire Dragon Race. That person is one of the top ten most talented people in the six bloodlines of the Dragon Race. All of the bloodlines are paying attention to this person.”

The Willow Leaf Saber, White Dragon Race, unknown in the first thirty years of life. This person’s debut shook the entire Dragon Race.

Xiao Chen’s heart skipped a beat for some strange reason. His body froze slightly as he asked with some uncertainty, “Is the Willow Leaf Saber male or female?”

“Female, why? The nickname Willow Leaf Saber is based on her name, Liu Ruyue! Hehe! She is an absolute beauty as well. Her smile is very charming. Within the Dragon Race, many outstanding talents are interested in her. Unfortunately, for some reason, she rejected even the noble Dragon God Crown Prince.”

[TL Note: Liu Ruyue’s family name means willow.]

The more Jiang He spoke, the more engrossed he became. Hence, he did not notice Xiao Chen’s distracted expression and changing complexion.

Jiang He continued in a self-absorbed manner, “I really don’t understand why. Is it because she set her sights high or is fully immersing in the Martial Dao, not wanting to get into a relationship for now?”

Xiao Chen did his best to recover his calm and asked softly, “How has she been?”

“Haha! She’s the strongest talent with boundless potential, an extremely charming person favored by many. Even the Dragon God Crown Prince is entranced with her. Do you think she is doing well or not?”

This reply stunned Xiao Chen slightly. He asked seriously, “Dragon God Crown Prince? There really is a Dragon God?”

Jiang He smiled and explained casually, “Well, it is said that there is. However, this fellow I’m talking about is just the son of the current Dragon Emperor. Nevertheless, it is not really overboard to call him the Dragon God Crown Prince, given his status.

“Right. I seem to have spoken a lot and gone off-topic. In any case, it’s impossible for the Willow Leaf Saber to have anything to do with you, so telling you more would be pointless.”

Nothing to do with me?

Xiao Chen smiled faintly and did not pursue the topic. He looked at Jiang He and said, “If I guessed right, you should be from the Dragon Race. Tell me, stealing a cauldron that the Willow Leaf Saber used should not be a grave sin, so what exactly did you steal to make you so nervous?”

Jiang He continued smiling. However, the look in his eyes was no longer as casual as it was at first. He replied seriously, “There is no need for you to bother about this. I initially got close to you mostly because I thought that you were an expert sent by the Dragon Race. However, now, it looks like I was worried for nothing.

“Although you have the Dragon Race’s bloodline, it is too thin, and you are not from any of the six bloodlines, so it was just a coincidence.”

Xiao Chen thought, It looks like he really has an important treasure of the Dragon Race. It was worth me taking this risk.

However, Xiao Chen would not attack someone who just fought side by side with him.

Furthermore, this Jiang He’s strength was hidden. That final astonishing saber strike was scarily mighty.

That should be the state that Ye Zifeng mentioned.

Even with the Dao Tool and the two moves of the Mahāmāyā Abstinence Violation Saber Technique, Xiao Chen might not be able to take down Jiang He easily.

Who knew whether Jiang He had other trump cards?

Xiao Chen tossed out a small jade bottle and said, “Before you go, here is a small gift.”

Jiang He casually caught the bottle and joked, “What is it? It’s not poison, right?”

“Fifty kilograms of Life Juice Source. The next time we meet, I might not let you leave so easily. I am not as simple as you think I am. There is a deep connection between the Dragon Race and me, much deeper than you think. Letting me know that you have an important treasure of the Dragon Race was not a smart move,” Xiao Chen said with a calm tone and expression.

Xiao Chen was not interested in Jiang He, only in the important treasure that Jiang He stole.

As the final inheritor of the Azure Dragon’s bloodline, Xiao Chen had promised the old Dragon Horse and the others that he would definitely become the Dragon Emperor and revitalize the Azure Dragon’s bloodline.

Whether Xiao Chen was willing or not, after finding out information about an important treasure of the Dragon Race, he could not pretend ignorance and do nothing.

The ordinary were innocent, but those with treasures would get into trouble.

Jiang He looked blank for a moment, then he smiled. “That makes sense. I did not notice it earlier. You were willing to draw your Dao Tool and fight a bitter battle but not willing to expose your Great Desolate Eon bloodline before me. It looks like you have other reasons. However, you should celebrate the fact that you did not hastily attack me. Otherwise…”

Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, “No one knows what would have happened. However, I’m really grateful for what you told me.”

A light appeared in Jiang He’s eyes. He discovered that he really could not see through the strength of this person. Interesting, it looks like he really has some trump cards that can allow him to clash with me.

“It’s time to go, but I hope that we can meet again. Haha! Whether you make a move on me or not, I will be happy to see you again. Goodbye!”

Jiang He guffawed and disappeared from Xiao Chen’s sight after a few flashes.

Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, “What an interesting person.”

In all honesty, the important treasure aside, Jiang He was indeed a person worth making friends with.

After the smile, Xiao Chen showed a dispirited expression on his face. No matter what, he had not expected to obtain news about Liu Ruyue under such circumstances.

The strongest talent that was very charming, even entrancing the Dragon God Crown Prince…

Xiao Chen took out the Dragon Pattern Cauldron and placed it before him. As he looked at the Dragon Pattern Cauldron that Liu Ruyue once used, he recalled many memories.

After a while, his gaze firmed with determination. He looked at the saber in his hand and muttered, “From today on, I formally give you the name ‘Moon Seeking.”
