Cultivating Immortals in Two Realms, I Possessed the Primordial Thunder Vine

Chapter 26 Yue Lingrou! Treasure-Hunting Rat

"Please don't mind, dear guests. We meant no harm. It's just that you seem somewhat familiar. Have we met somewhere before?"

The two people walking towards them were a brother and sister, and it was the older brother who spoke.

The two of them didn't look very old, at most in their twenties. They seemed to be disciples trained by a large family, and they clearly had a certain air about them.

Xu Changjun did not answer, his eyes showing a rather indifferent expression.

The other party was being unreasonable and their intentions were unclear, so he didn't want to deal with them.

Traveling is difficult, and people's hearts are unpredictable, especially strangers you deliberately befriend; it's best to avoid them as much as possible.

"Fellow Daoist, please don't be angry. My brother is a righteous man and has no other intentions. He just thinks you look kind and wants to be friends with you."

The younger sister, the one among the siblings, explained in a low voice.

"My name is Yue Shu, and he is my older brother Yue Xuan. We are from the Yuequan clan."

"So that's how it is. The three families of Yundong Lake are all connected. I come from the Xu family, Xu Changjun."

Upon hearing this, Xu Changjun nodded, and his eyes calmed down.

In Yundong Lake, the Xu family and the Yuequan clan had a good relationship and close business cooperation. Since the other party was a member of the Yuequan clan, Xu Changjun no longer took it to heart.

Most importantly, these two juniors from Yuequan did not pose a threat to his strength, and on the surface, they did not seem to have any ill intentions; it was more of a probing act.

"So you're a member of the renowned Xu family of Yunlu. No wonder you have such an imposing presence and extraordinary bearing. May I ask where Brother Xu is headed this time?"

Xu Changjun looked at Yuexuan, who was quite enthusiastic, and remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was a little puzzled. This person was a bit too familiar.

Unsure of the other party's purpose, but with his keen senses, he could tell that Yue Xuan's intentions were impure. So he gave a few perfunctory replies and turned to walk towards the Moon Spring warship.

"Won't this person interfere with our operations?"

Yue Shu lowered her voice and asked in a low voice.

"He was very wary, but it was probably just a coincidence."

Yuexuan's expression had turned cold at this moment. In the blink of an eye, it was as if he had become a completely different person, a far cry from his previous enthusiastic demeanor.

While Yuexuan and Yueshu were whispering to each other, they were completely unaware that every word they said had reached Xu Changjun's ears.

At this moment, under the amplification of the Sword Embryo Sacrifice Divine Technique, Xu Changjun's soul was already no less powerful than that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator. Even though the two of them used the secret technique of transmitting their voices, they still could not escape his perception.

"These two are definitely up to no good."

Xu Changjun stood on the moonship and raised his eyebrows, but he quickly put the matter out of his mind. As long as it was not related to him and did not threaten his personal interests, he would not bother with it.

After Xu Changjun and the others boarded the Moon Spring warship, Yue Shu, Yue Xuan, and the others arrived. Not long after, under Xu Changjun's watchful eye, two more people arrived with him.

Listening to their introductions, it was clear they had quite a history; the two who arrived were actually from the Fenghuang Sect.

Their names are Chen Jiayi and Huang Xiangyu.

Chen Jiayi's identity is quite special, as it is evident that he is highly regarded by people including Yuexuan and Yueshu.

……

"Has your Linglong clan sister agreed to join our operation?!"

"If she wants to pull off a big heist, her prized possession is indispensable!"

Chen Jiayi asked impatiently, while Huang Xiangyu turned his head to look at Yuexuan and Yueshu beside him.

"Um... Sister Linglong is here."

Just as Yuexuan hesitated, Yueshu jumped up beside him and said excitedly.

Not far away, a beautiful figure walked over. She was dressed in purple, had fair skin, and a tall figure. Walking in the crowd, she was like a beautiful sight, making people want to take a second look.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that the woman had thin lips and narrow eyes, giving her the appearance of an icy beauty.

At first glance, it is beautiful, but it gives people a feeling of cold indifference that keeps them at a distance.

"The treasure-hunting rat is yours. As usual, give me 30% after the job is done."

But then Yue Linglong pointed her finger, and a small white mouse jumped onto Yue Xuan's body, squeaking twice in a human-like manner towards Yue Linglong.

Before she finished speaking, Yue Linglong turned and walked towards the upper deck of the Moon Spring warship, her cold expression remaining unchanged from beginning to end.

"Sister Linglong, you..."

Yuexuan called out, but the other person had already walked away before she could finish speaking.

"Alright! Since Yue Linglong is unwilling to join, the four of us working together should be enough. This group of travelers doesn't have any real experts; who could possibly be our match?!"

Yue Shu spoke softly, which drew nods from the others.

Even Yuexuan agreed with his sister's statement, so he stopped talking.

"This time, I'll definitely select more targets and take them all down. Then I'll have the resources to break through to the advanced stage of Qi Refining."

"That's right. With one less person, we also reduce our risk of exposure. Anyway, we already have the treasure-hunting rat, so we have nothing else to worry about."

Chen Jiayi from Fenghuangmen added.

The group whispered among themselves. Although there were passersby all around, no one knew that these seemingly polite young men were plotting how to plunder the treasures of others!

Even those from reputable sects might occasionally take on the role of a tribulation cultivator!

Moreover, judging from their familiarity with each other, it was clear that this wasn't the first time they had done something like this; there were precedents for it.

At this moment, Yue Linglong, who had already boarded the Moon Spring warship, stood on the railing, watching the group of people whispering among themselves, and sneered coldly in her heart.

"Trying to get me to join you would only confirm that I'm involved in plundering and banditry, wouldn't it? And then you want me to be tied to you? That's impossible."

Yue Linglong also cherishes her reputation. As a top-ranking direct descendant of the Yuequan Clan, she still needs to maintain a facade of aloofness. Although she also needs to expand her resources, if this matter is discovered, she will definitely lose more than she gains.

Of course, she left herself an out, which is why she lent the treasure-hunting rat to the other party. If there was any harvest, she would get 30%.

Without having to lift a finger, Yue Linglong could obtain 30% for free, so she was naturally happy to reap the rewards.

Even if she were discovered, she could deflect all responsibility and at most receive a scolding. Compared to actually stealing it, she had only lent out the treasure-hunting rat, so she bore very little responsibility.

You might make a lot of money, but I definitely won't lose out!

"snort!"

Yue Linglong gave a cold snort for no apparent reason, then turned and walked into the Moon Spring warship.
