Tumor Sword Immortal

Chapter 250 is not complicated.
Yuan Kui's pupils dilated, as if her meeting with Song Huan was some kind of great blasphemy to Song Huan.

Pei Xia comforted her, "No, that's not what I meant. You don't need to be nervous. I just heard it from Senior Song's disciple and I'm curious about what you two talked about."

With a sob in her throat, Yuan Kui stammered, "I...I don't have anything to talk about, it's just that no one has been willing to talk to me for a long time, I..."

According to Song Huan's disciple, Yuan Kui and Song Huan talked for a long time, and Song Huan looked worried when he left.

Judging from this, she must have felt bitter about Yuan Kui's situation.

Pei Xia thought of the exquisite wooden box she had seen when she entered the room, and a thought struck her. She asked, "Did Senior Song come to visit you the day after?"

Yuan Kui shrank her neck and nodded: "Sister Song took pity on me..."

Pei Xia then asked them what they had talked about that day, and Yuan Kui said that Song Huan was telling her about her experiences over the past few years.

So, after the Divine Treasures Celebration began, Song Huan arrived at Su Bao Zhai. Yuan Kui, who had been neglected for a long time, took the initiative to visit. After learning about her recent situation, Song Huan felt worried and brought gifts to visit her the next day, wanting to comfort and enlighten this junior sister Yuan.

Pei Xia turned to look at the wooden box in the corner of the room: "Is that a gift that Senior Song brought for you?"

"……Correct."

"Can I see it?"

Yuan Kui raised her eyes, blinked at Pei Xia, and then whispered, "Of course."

Pei Xia got up and walked to the wooden box.

The box was described as exquisite, but only in comparison to the thatched hut. It had copper corner protectors and was made of ordinary wood, probably something Song Huan found at the night market.

Pei Xia reached out and ran her hand over the surface of the box. When she reached the middle section, her brows furrowed slightly, but she quickly composed herself.

He didn't open the box, but turned to Yuan Kui and said, "Forget it, she's gone now. It's inappropriate to treat a gift from your close friend like it's an inspection of an item."

Pei Xia didn't ask any more questions and got up to take her leave.

Song Huan's death seemed to be a huge blow to Yuan Kui. Even after Pei Xia left the hut and disappeared into the mountains, Yuan Kui was still sitting in the hut, looking dazed.

She was only brought back to her senses when she heard two cries of night owls outside.

Looking at the already dark sky, she first thought that she hadn't fetched water for the day.

But then he remembered that his bucket was broken.

What should we do? If we go to the Crafts Hall to ask for it, we'll definitely get beaten and scolded again.

I'd better go to the market and buy one, but the sect market hasn't been open for a long time because of the Divine Treasures Festival.

Divine Treasures Celebration... Ghostly Flower...

Yuan Kui swayed as she stood up, walked outside the thatched hut, and looked around.

There is no moon tonight, and it is pitch black all around.

She carefully closed the thatched door and retreated into the even darker room.

Yuan Kui has now lost all her cultivation, and her five senses are far inferior to those of ordinary people, so naturally she wouldn't notice anything.

In the shadows cast by the branches and leaves of the nearby forest, a figure stands silently.

Pei Xia slowly walked out.

His powerful body-refining skills allowed him to freely mobilize every muscle in his body, making it almost silent when walking on rocks and grass.

He slowly approached Yuan Kui's thatched hut, easily found a drafty crack, and peered inside.

In the dim light, Yuan Kui, shrouded in a black robe, sat quietly on the ground.

She reached into her bosom and carefully pulled out something.

Those were two square pieces of jade.

This jade itself does not emit light, but for some reason, it can still be clearly seen in the dark.

Sure enough, it was Yuqiong from the Jade Palace of the Azure Sky.

Pei Xia watched as Yuan Kui struck two pieces of jade, after which she lowered her head and became listless.

So that's how it is. No wonder that kid couldn't leave Zuoshan and managed to contact Yuan Kui... This Qiongxiao Yuyu is really convenient. Pei Xia didn't delay. She sat cross-legged outside the thatched hut and gently pressed her hand on the jade pendant at her waist. In an instant, she immersed herself in Qiongxiao Yuyu.

The world above the clouds remains unchanged. A small number of jade holders, mixed with the cloud dwellers of Jade Palace, have built this market that is not particularly prosperous, but never closes.

Pei Xia walked through the crowd without stopping, her eyes constantly searching for anything in the throng.

Soon, he saw two suspicious-looking guys, one of whom was the minotaur that Pei Xia had bought from Han Youzhi.

Pei Xia wasn't sure if he was the disciple with the long bangs from Zuo Shan.

But considering that Han Youzhi had once sold his magical artifact to him, the similar white jade bracelet that Old Han possessed could also have come from him.

The other person in front of the minotaur was a beautiful woman.

Pei Xia puffed out her ample chest and walked calmly toward the two of them.

As you get closer, you can vaguely hear them talking.

"Someone has come to question me..."

"It's normal for people to come and ask you if you've seen her. Don't be afraid, they won't find anything."

Pei Xia sneered inwardly.

Those who possess the jade come from all corners of the country and each has their own disguise. Even though there are no quiet rooms or houses in the Jade Palace, they are quite bold when it comes to discussing secrets.

It's no wonder they weren't careful; they just happened to run into Pei Xia—that's an oddity that's hard to understand.

As Pei Xia approached, Niu Tou still noticed her keenly, but when his gaze swept over Pei Xia's striking snow-white breasts, the wariness in his eyes relaxed considerably.

He had seen this woman before; the pure blood of the demon beast that cultivated the Ghost God Flower came from her, and he had a deep impression of her.

Pei Xia walked over calmly and asked with a smile, "Boss, the magical artifact I bought from you last time was very useful. Do you have any left?"

Niu Tou gestured to the timid woman beside him, then smiled at Pei Xia: "That's all. It was a coincidence. If you find any other rare items, I'll keep them for you, Miss. But I'm not setting up a stall today, sorry."

Because of the preciousness of jade and its resonant nature, the holder of the jade is also a competitor, so it is rare to remember an acquaintance like this.

Pei Xia showed her understanding perfectly, smiled gracefully, and turned to leave.

Outside the thatched hut on the right mountain, he slowly opened his eyes.

Without checking Su Baozhai's personnel files, Pei Xia couldn't be sure if the two were connected, but seeing it with her own eyes in Yuqiong's place, she was pretty much certain of it.

Theft on the left mountain and murder on the right mountain are not complicated in their own way, but the key element, the Jade Palace, is hidden, making them seem like two unsolved cases.

Pei Xia stood up expressionlessly; this time, he truly left.

When they returned to the courtyard of Changjingmen, Ji Shaofu was still awake. The night sky was moonless and dimly lit. She was practicing her sword silently by herself. The courtyard was empty except for the occasional whooshing sound of her sword.

She stopped when she saw Pei Xia return, looked up at him, and asked, "How was it?"

Pei Xia nodded: "It went quite smoothly."

Ji Shaofu opened her eyes slightly.

It's only been a day, yet he's making it sound like the truth has already been revealed.
“Elder Pei, I know you have Tian Shi as your backer, but now that you are an elder of my Changjing Sect, I still feel it is necessary to remind you,” Ji Shaofu breathed a sigh of relief, “Su Baozhai is backed by Lingxuan Pavilion, so you must be careful in your actions.”

Pei Xia understood Ji Shaofu's concerns.

But upon hearing the words "Lingxuan Pavilion," he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If it weren't for this, Song Huan really wouldn't have died."

The next day, the first light of dawn appeared.

Pei Xia got up early, prepared the wooden sword in her right hand and the two spiders in her left, and pushed open the door to go out.

He walked to Zuoshan, his feet wet with dew.

Since "Lingxuan Pavilion" can be your weapon for killing.

Now, it can be mine too.
