Zhang Chulan, who was just lifting his leg to step outside, didn't think straight for a moment and blurted out a comment.

"No need, I already..."

Zhang Chulan's back stiffened abruptly, and he swallowed the rest of the words back.

He slowly turned around.

The expression on his face was priceless; he wanted to laugh but dared not, wanted to cry but couldn't squeeze out any tears, and his whole body was visibly tense, like a bowstring taut.

"I...I've wanted to know for a long time!"

"Senior Lu, please tell me about it!"

He frantically tried to make amends with a tone of surprise.

But it was too late.

Inside the room, Tian Jinzhong, who had been sitting silently in his wheelchair, suddenly trembled.

Old Tian leaned forward, his eyes red, staring intently at Zhang Chulan.

What did you just say?!

Tian Jinzhong's voice became sharp and hoarse due to extreme excitement.

"Chu Lan! Do you already know something?!"

"What exactly did your grandfather say to you back then?!"

Looking at Old Tian, ​​who looked like he was about to pounce off his wheelchair and devour people.

Zhang Chulan swallowed hard, cold sweat instantly streaming down his forehead.

"No...no, Master Tian."

"I really don't know..."

Zhang Zhiwei immediately reached out and pressed heavily on Tian Jinzhong's shoulder.

"Junior brother, don't be anxious, calm down."

The old master's hands seemed to have a calming magic, forcibly suppressing Old Tian's almost outburst of excitement.

Then.

Zhang Zhiwei's deep, old eyes slowly turned towards Zhang Chulan by the door.

That gaze was devoid of any warmth or human emotion, yet it made one feel as if their very soul had been seen through.

"Chu Lan, your first reaction doesn't sound like you don't know."

The old master's voice was very calm.

"Did someone tell you something?"

The air froze completely at that moment.

These are three ancient monsters who have lived for over a hundred years; no lie can escape their notice.

Zhang Chulan's mouth was agape, his brain racing wildly, cold sweat pouring out layer after layer, yet he couldn't come up with a plausible excuse.

Selling leaf samples, especially in front of people, would that kill you?

Just when Zhang Chulan's mental defenses were about to collapse.

A casual, slightly irreverent voice slowly rang out from the side.

"Old Celestial Master, please don't make things difficult for him."

Ye Xing leaned against the door frame with one hand and picked at his ear.

He grinned as he met the gazes of the three bigwigs in the room.

"I told him."

I don't actually know much about Chapter 34 either.

Ye Xing's casual remark instantly changed the atmosphere in the room.

Zhang Chulan let out a long breath, and his shoulders, which had been as tense as stone, instantly relaxed.

He turned his head and gave Ye Xing an extremely grateful look.

If the old master really keeps pressing him, he definitely won't be able to withstand it, and he might have no choice but to resort to a show of selling himself in person.

'Zhang Chulan's feelings of gratitude and relief have been detected; emotion value +90!'

The three old monsters sitting in the very center had incredibly varied expressions.

The old master Zhang Zhiwei pinched his long beard, his movement abruptly frozen in mid-air.

Lu Jin's hand holding the teacup was still trembling, and tea dripped down the rim of the cup.

Tian Jinzhong's withered chest heaved violently, clearly indicating that he had suffered a great shock.

Who would have thought that this secret was leaked to Zhang Chulan by Ye Xing, an outsider?

'Zhang Zhiwei appears surprised and confused; his mood score increases by 60!'

'Shock and disbelief detected in Lu Jin; emotion value +70!'

'Detected intense shock in Tian Jinzhong, triggering a critical hit, emotion value +100!'

"Young Master Ye, you..."

Tian Jinzhong's voice was terribly hoarse, his eyes fixed on Ye Xing, "What exactly do you know!"

Ye Xing didn't rush to reply. He crossed his arms and slowly scanned the open doorway, then glanced at the younger generation peeking in at the door.

Lu Jin is an old man with a straightforward temper, but he's also quick-witted.

He immediately understood, stood up abruptly, and shouted outside.

"Stop watching the show, everyone! Linglong, get them away from here. Anyone who dares to eavesdrop, I'll break their legs!"

Chaos erupted at the entrance, but that wasn't all. Lu Jin waved his right hand repeatedly in the air, and several azure talismans instantly materialized out of thin air.

The Tongtian Lu (通天简) is one of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques. It requires no talisman making and can draw talismans directly in the void with Qi. It is extremely powerful. When mastered, it can invoke the power of heaven and earth.

Lu Jintongtianlu's methods were incredibly smooth; the talisman was stuck directly onto the door panel with a "snap."

The door closed automatically without any wind, tightly shut.

This move left Zhang Chulan completely dumbfounded, while Xu San and Xu Si standing behind him were even more bewildered.

Xu San pushed up his glasses and whispered to Xu Si, "Xu Si, we don't need to go out, right?"

Xu Si exhaled a smoke ring, shrugged, and remained silent.

After the area was cleared, Ye Xing slowly cleared his throat.

"Actually, I don't know much either. It's just that I was wandering around in the mountains before and I met a crazy old Taoist priest. He grabbed me and insisted on telling me stories. I listened to them for fun, but I never expected that they would match up today."

He was just about to continue making things up.

Lu Jin suddenly raised her hand and made a shushing gesture.

With a flick of his sleeve, the old man sent several dark figures darting out of his palm and heading straight for the door.

Immediately afterwards, a commotion erupted outside, accompanied by shouts and pleas for mercy from Lu Linglong and the others.

The sound quickly faded away and disappeared completely.

Lu Jin clapped her hands and sat back in her chair. "Alright, continue."

Ye Xing secretly gave the old man a thumbs up in his heart. Since the atmosphere had been built up to this point, it would be a waste not to take full advantage of his information gap.

He deliberately dragged out the tone.

"Back then, there was a group of young people who, regardless of sect or whether they were good or evil, insisted on getting together and becoming sworn brothers. They were known as the Thirty-Six Thieves."

The people in the room just watched him quietly.

Ye Xing continued.

"Because one of their sworn brothers was Wugensheng, the leader of the Quanxing Sect, they received widespread attention from the world of supernatural beings. But the reason why the world of supernatural beings wanted to exterminate them started from when they comprehended the Eight Extraordinary Techniques."

At this point, Ye Xing's gaze lingered on Feng Baobao for two seconds before quickly shifting away.

Feng Baobao, wearing a baseball cap, was staring blankly at him.

Noticing Ye Xing's gaze, Feng Baobao felt a little puzzled.

'Detected doubt in Feng Baobao, emotion value +50.'

“Each of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques has its own characteristics, and Zhang Chulan’s grandfather, Zhang Huaiyi, comprehended the Qi Body Source Flow.”

"Qi Body Source Flow - the first of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, known as the ultimate technique, can absorb the myriad energies of heaven and earth to temper oneself, with top-notch endurance and self-healing, all-around offensive and defensive capabilities, and the strongest foundation."

"And the place where they comprehended the Eight Extraordinary Techniques was in the Twenty-Four Heavenly Valley."

'Detected that everyone in the room is in a state of shock, emotion value +420.' Ye Xing looked at the value on the panel, which was approaching the five thousand mark. He was overjoyed, but his face remained calm and composed.

Xu San was the first to lose control of his emotions, completely abandoning his usual refined and cultured demeanor.

He took a sudden step forward and grabbed Ye Xing's shoulders with both hands, his knuckles turning white from the force.

"Ye Xing! Is everything you just said true? Who exactly is that old Taoist priest? What else have you heard of?"

This involves the Jia Shen Rebellion of that year, and also touches upon a shocking clue about Feng Baobao's background. Xu San simply cannot remain calm.

Ye Xing shrugged and spread his hands out in a very nonchalant manner.

"I can't guarantee anything, I'll just take it as a story. As for who the old Taoist priest was, he didn't say, and I didn't ask. I don't know where he is now."

"you!"

Xu San was so anxious that he wanted to ask more questions.

"Alright, third brother."

Xu Si grabbed Xu San by the back of his collar and yanked him back. His voice was low, but it carried a firm strength.

"Don't rush, calm down."

Over there, Tian Jinzhong's tense body gradually slumped down.
