Chapter 258: Sure Enough, He’s a Bad Guy, the Provincial Governor’s Mansion Must Be Emptied
“Alright, alright! I love emptying out treasures the most.”
Chu Chen clapped his chubby little hands, extremely excited.
“Follow me.”
With a wave of her fair little hand, Chu Xin led Chu Chen away from the group of brats and arrived at a secluded corner. She summoned a Battle Body, transformed its hair to black, and together with Chu Chen’s Battle Body, headed towards the teleportation formation.
Then, she summoned the remaining seven Battle Bodies, and together with Chu Chen’s seven Battle Bodies, they left in different directions, scattering throughout the provincial city and starting to dig.
The fourteen Battle Bodies dug all the way to the depths of the Provincial Governor’s Mansion and found the foundation of the mansion’s protective formation, as well as buildings like the Treasure Pavilion, the Skill Repository, and the Pill Pavilion, but they didn’t make a move.
They were waiting. If the Provincial Governor made a move against their two Battle Bodies, they would dig up the formation’s foundation and empty out the treasures. If the Provincial Governor didn’t make a move against them, Chu Xin and Chu Chen would directly recall these Battle Bodies.
“Hello, little friends, are you not accompanied by any elders?”
The guard protecting the teleportation formation saw Chu Xin and Chu Chen, a strange light flashing in his eyes.
“No!”
Chu Xin shook her head.
The strange light in the guard’s eyes intensified, and he asked, “Where are you going?”
“To the Middle Province.”
Chu Chen spoke.
“Alright, to go to the Middle Province, it’s one thousand low-grade spirit stones per person,” the guard said.
“Spirit stones?”
Chu Xin rummaged in her Spatial Ring for a while before taking out a stone and asking, “Are you talking about this?”
“A high-grade spirit stone?”
The guard was surprised, then nodded and said, “One high-grade spirit stone is equivalent to one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones. I still need to give you back ninety-eight thousand low-grade spirit stones.”
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a storage pouch appeared out of thin air. He handed it to Chu Xin and said, “Inside are ninety-eight thousand low-grade spirit stones. You can count them.”
“No need.”
Chu Xin put the storage pouch into her Spatial Ring and urged, “Uncle, when can we use the teleportation formation to leave?”
“Just a moment, very soon.”
The guard said this, but he deliberately slowed down, seemingly activating the teleportation formation, but in reality, he had already secretly sent a message to the Provincial Governor.
The next moment, a man appeared out of thin air with a kind smile on his face and asked, “What are you two little friends going to the Middle Province for?”
“To play.”
Chu Chen blinked his big eyes, looking innocent.
“Uncle, who are you? Are you also going to the Middle Province?”
Chu Xin asked curiously.
The man’s eyes darted, and he nodded, “Yes, I’ll take you to the Middle Province.”
“Okay, okay.”
Chu Xin and Chu Chen nodded repeatedly.
The man glanced at the guard, and the guard understood. He pretended to activate the teleportation formation. Then the man led Chu Xin and Chu Chen into the teleportation formation, but secretly used the power of Rules to directly teleport the two siblings to the Provincial Governor’s Mansion.
“Uncle, is this the Middle Province?”
Chu Xin asked doubtfully.
The man smiled and said, “Let me introduce myself first. I am the Lei Zhou Provincial Governor, Long YuFan. I invited the two of you to my mansion because there’s something I need to confirm.”
“This isn’t the Middle Province.”
Chu Chen was disappointed and said angrily, “Big Bad, you lied to us.”
Long YuFan still had a smile on his face and asked, “Lei Zhan and the others were chasing you, right?”
Hearing this, Chu Xin immediately became vigilant, but she pretended to be confused and said, “I don’t know them.”
Seeing her expression, Long YuFan was basically certain of their identities. He said softly, “You two don’t need to be nervous. I have a grudge against them. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I can help you deal with them.”
“Really?”
◈◈◈
Chu Chen’s eyes widened, full of suspicion.
“Of course.”
Long YuFan nodded very firmly. “But I have one condition.”
“What condition?” Chu Xin asked curiously.
Long YuFan smiled and said, “I heard that you have two divine artifacts. I’m not greedy, I only want one. How about it?”
“You’re also after our divine artifacts?”
Chu Xin and Chu Chen immediately became wary.
Long YuFan shook his head and said, “If you’re caught by them, you won’t be able to keep even one divine artifact, and you’ll lose your lives. But now you only need to pay one divine artifact to save your lives and keep the other divine artifact. Why not?”
He wasn’t a fool. These two kids, who looked no more than three or four years old, could instantly kill Peak Martial Saints and possessed divine artifacts. They definitely had an extraordinary background.
If it weren’t for the fact that the divine artifacts were too tempting, he really wouldn’t want to provoke unknown powerful enemies during this special period.
If both parties reached an agreement, he could get a divine artifact for free. Even if their elders found out later, he would have a reason. And no matter what, he could be considered to have indirectly saved them, so their elders would naturally be embarrassed to make a move against him.
But if he directly snatched their divine artifacts, that would be a different story.
Of course, if these two brats didn’t agree, he would have no choice but to choose the latter.
After all, the temptation of divine artifacts was simply too great.
Chu Xin glanced at Chu Chen, thought for a moment, and said, “Uncle, can you let me and my little brother discuss it for a bit?”
“Sure, no rush.”
Hearing this, Long YuFan thought there was a chance, so he nodded in agreement and leisurely drank his tea.
Chu Xin and Chu Chen whispered to each other for a while, then looked up at Long YuFan and said, “Uncle, we can agree to your request, but you have to set up a restriction here, preferably one that can block the detection of Emperor’s Sense. Otherwise, the aura of the divine artifacts might leak out and attract unnecessary trouble.”
“Naturally.”
Long YuFan nodded. Even if Chu Xin hadn’t said it, he would have done so to prevent Lei Zhan and the others from noticing.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he set up a layer of restriction and said, “It’s done.”
“Wait a minute.”
Chu Xin said with a smile.
Long YuFan frowned slightly, but he didn’t rush them. After all, the two brats were right here, they couldn’t possibly escape from under his nose. Moreover, the restriction he had just set up, in addition to blocking Emperor’s Sense, was also to prevent the two brats from escaping.
“Sure enough, he’s a bad guy.”
Chu Xin muttered to herself. She now knew the Provincial Governor’s purpose was to get their divine artifacts. He was a bad guy. Therefore, the plan to empty the Provincial Governor’s Mansion had already begun.
Fourteen Battle Bodies, four were responsible for digging up the formation foundation, and the rest were responsible for attacking the Skill Repository, Treasure Pavilion, Pill Pavilion, and the like.
Normally, Long YuFan would have noticed immediately, but the restriction he himself set up could even block Emperor’s Sense, so the sounds of fighting were naturally blocked out, and he didn’t notice anything unusual.
He didn’t make a move, so the other cultivators in the Provincial Governor’s Mansion, even Peak Martial Saints, were no match for those brats’ Battle Bodies.
At the same time, Chu Xin and Chu Chen’s main bodies, after changing their appearances again, began to walk towards the teleportation formation.
“Huh? Big Sister, is that… ‘Mother’ Uncle?”
Suddenly, Chu Chen pointed to a man walking in a hurry in front of them and asked doubtfully.
Chu Xin turned her head to look, she could only see the man’s side profile, which was completely different from ‘Mother’ Uncle, but his aura was exactly the same as ‘Mother’ Uncle’s.
“Could it be that he also changed his appearance like us?”
Chu Xin blinked, scratched her head, and said, “Forget it, let’s not worry about him, we should hurry up and leave.”
“Okay!”
Chu Chen nodded, and the two quickly walked towards the teleportation formation.
