Xiaohan City is a small city dominated by the trading market, there are no inhabitants in situ, only some shop owners and men live here, these shop owners are all monks, and most of the guys are mortals except for a few monks who are two or three levels of qi refining.

Qiao Yuan walked around with Chen Surou and Qianqian for a while, and found that there was nothing he was interested in here, but Chen Surou and Qianqian were very happy about shopping, and they walked on the street for two hours before resting.

The three of them found a small restaurant and ordered a few plates of side dishes and a pot of wine, Qiao Yuan hadn't eaten or drunk for a long time, and he still missed it a little in his heart.

Chen Surou and Qianqian rarely ate in May Peak, but when they saw these dishes at this moment, their eyes were flushed, and before Qiao Yuan could move his chopsticks, the two of them ate directly.

Qiao Yuan and the three of them sat in a window position on the second floor, the window was facing the street outside, and Qiao Yuan's position just saw the lobby of a store opposite.

Just as he picked up his wine glass and wanted to drink, Qiao Yuan inadvertently glanced at the store opposite, but this unintentional sweep shocked his heart, and his eyes showed an incredible look, and he immediately put down the wine glass and looked at the lobby of the store opposite.

Qiao Yuan just saw a man and a woman walk into the store opposite, and he knew both men and women.

The man was a middle-aged man in a yellow robe, with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, it was the disappeared Huang Xiuming.

The woman was a young woman in a long white dress, holding a long sword, with a medium appearance and a slight appearance, she was Xiang Ling, who was walking with Qiao Yuan.

"It's them, wasn't Huang Xiuming chased and disappeared by the man in black, how could he appear here intact, and he was still with Xiang Ling. ”

Qiao Yuan held the wine glass, frowned and muttered to himself, his eyes staring directly at the door of the shop opposite, but now he couldn't see the two of them.

Chen Surou noticed Qiao Yuan's abnormality, followed his gaze and looked at the store opposite, but she didn't see anything, and then she stretched out her little hand and shook it a few times in front of Qiao Yuan's eyes, and said in a coquettish voice.

"What are you muttering?"

"Oh, it's nothing, senior sister, have you eaten well? It's getting late, let's hurry up." ”

Qiao Yuan came back to his senses, with a smile on his face, and said softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, before Chen Surou and Qianqian could reply, he left a spirit stone, stood up directly and pulled the two of them out of the restaurant.

"Senior Brother Qiao, what are you doing, I haven't eaten yet. ”

Chen Surou twisted her wrist, wanting to break free from Qiao Yuan's hands, but how could her strength compare to Qiao Yuan, and she couldn't break free after writhing for a long time, so she shouted loudly with anger on her beautiful face.

"You let me go, I'm going to find Senior Brother Yi to sue you. ”

Qianqian was held in Qiao Yuan's arms, and she kept struggling, but she didn't struggle until she got downstairs.

Qiao Yuan couldn't stand their tossing, let go of the two of them, and said with a flattering look on his face.

"Later, I'll invite the two senior sisters to eat roast chicken and goose candy gourd to make amends, now I can ask the senior sisters to do a little favor?"

"What's the busy?"

As soon as Qianqian heard Qiao Yuan's promise, she immediately asked, and the anger on her face just now disappeared.

"I just saw two acquaintances enter this shop, and the senior sisters will help me look at them, and if they come out, they will come in and look for me. ”

Qiao Yuan showed a happy smile on his face, and hurriedly said, after speaking, he took out a jade slip, pressed it on the center of his eyebrows to carefully describe the faces of Huang Xiuming and Xiang Ling, and then handed the jade slip to Chen Surou.

"Hmph, for the sake of you calling me senior sister, I'll help you once. ”

Chen Surou snorted and said with a smug smile on her face.

Qiao Yuan hugged his fist at Chen Surou, said thank you, and turned around and walked towards the opposite store.

This shop is called Qingpin Pavilion, and you really can't tell what this store sells just by looking at the name of the store, but as soon as Qiao Yuan entered, a guy greeted him.

"Welcome to the Immortal Master, may I ask what kind of tea the Immortal Master wants to drink?"

"Drinking tea, is this a tea shop?"

When Qiao Yuan heard this, his face showed surprise, and he asked.

"That's right, the small shop is a tea shop, but what it sells is spiritual tea, not ordinary tea, this spiritual tea can not only strengthen the body, but also increase cultivation, there are many benefits, immortal master, what kind of tea do you want to drink?"

This young man did not show surprise at Qiao Yuan's words, but naturally introduced Qingpin Pavilion.

"Oh, then bring me a pot of spiritual tea to increase my cultivation. ”

Qiao Yuan's face showed a sudden look, he waved his hand and took out a medium-grade spirit stone, shook it in front of the guy, then put it away, and went directly to the stairs, he looked at it on the first floor, and did not find Huang Xiuming and Xiang Ling.

This teahouse only has three floors, and Qiao Yuan walked to the second floor, but he didn't find them, so he went directly to the third floor.

However, the third floor is all private rooms, Qiao Yuan is not good at inspecting them one by one, and his divine sense cannot penetrate the doors and windows, so in desperation, Qiao Yuan had to find a place on the second floor facing the staircase and sit down, and waited patiently.

A pot of spiritual tea is not much, Qiao Yuan slowly drank a stick of incense, and when he was about to get up and leave the teahouse, a beautiful girl and a cute girl rushed up on the stairs.

Chen Surou and Qianqian saw Qiao Yuan sitting there leisurely drinking tea, and immediately became angry, rushed to Qiao Yuan in two steps, and said coldly.

"That's what you said about meeting an acquaintance, throwing the two of us on the street, and you came here alone to drink tea leisurely. ”

"Senior sister, did you see those two people going down?"

Qiao Yuan ignored Chen Surou's angry words, but asked urgently.

"I didn't see it. ”

"Two senior sisters, don't be angry, I didn't see them when I came up, so I waited for them here, did you just come up and saw me staring at the staircase, I really have something very important to ask them, senior sister, did you see them go down?"

Qiao Yuan saw Chen Surou's angry face, a little overwhelmed, thought for a while, and could only speak in a good voice.

"I really didn't see it, I saw that you didn't come down after waiting for so long, and I thought something happened to you, but I didn't expect you to be very leisurely alone. ”

Chen Surou didn't look like Qiao Yuan was lying, so she snorted lightly and said slowly.

"Thank you, two senior sisters, forget it, ask next time we meet, let's go." ”

Qiao Yuan heard Chen Surou's words, felt warm in his heart, and then said with a smile on his face, and after speaking, he picked up Qianqian and walked downstairs.

As soon as they walked out of Qingpin Pavilion, the guy who was standing on the first floor to receive Qiao Yuan ran up to the third floor and walked directly into the innermost "yellow" box, and only walked out after a while.

In order to make up for them, Qiao Yuan took them to eat a lot of things, and finally bought a lot of things, Chen Surou was overjoyed, and she no longer cared about Qiao Yuan's affairs.

When the three of them came to the Fuyuan Inn, Yi Chenfeng and Fang Jingxing had already arrived, although they didn't have to worry about safety in Xiaohan City, it was impossible for them to be completely reassured, so for Qiao Yuan and Chen Surou's behavior, Yi Chenfeng just tapped it on the side.

Yi Chenfeng and Fang Jingxing both bought what they wanted, and decided to go back to the sect directly after shopping around tomorrow.

Chen Surou and Qianqian said that they hadn't played enough, but in fact, they hadn't eaten enough, but under the threat of Yi Chenfeng, they also had to compromise.

As for Qiao Yuan, he instead hoped to return to the sect earlier, since he left the sect, he had a haze in his heart, and he always felt that something big was about to happen.

Although this trip was quite smooth, when he saw Huang Xiuming and Xiang Ling today, the bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger, so he wanted to find Huang Xiuming to ask about the man in black.

"Senior Brother Yi, do you know what Qingpin Pavilion is?"

Qiao Yuan saw that several people had returned to the room, and hurriedly called Yi Chenfeng and asked softly.

"Qingpinge, I heard that it is a tea shop on the surface, but it is actually an intelligence trading shop, I don't know what it is, Senior Brother Qiao, why are you asking this?"

Yi Chenfeng heard Qiao Yuan's question, a look of thought flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly.

"Oh, today I met two acquaintances in Qingpin Pavilion and drank a pot of tea there, which is quite expensive. ”

Qiao Yuan's face showed a sudden expression, and then he explained to Yi Chenfeng with a chuckle, and then turned around and returned to his room.

"Intelligence trading. ”

Qiao Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed and muttered softly, for some reason, when he heard Yi Chenfeng's words, his heart jumped suddenly, and he even began to suspect that he was now being targeted by that mysterious organization.

Early the next morning, Qiao Yuan, Yi Chenfeng and his party walked out of the inn, and at the request of Chen Surou and Qianqian, everyone went to have a hearty breakfast, and then went to Xicheng to shop, Xicheng is not like Dongcheng and Beicheng, it is a hodgepodge place, and there are all kinds of shops.

In a talisman shop, Qiao Yuan bought a lot of powerful talismans, and the price of these talismans was not at any cost, but Qiao Yuan bought them all without blinking, and among them was a powerful white thunder bead, if it was detonated, the white thunder that was emitted from it would not dare to resist.

Yi Chenfeng and the others looked at Qiao Yuan's more than 100,000 spirit stones before and after, and they all showed great surprise, they were very strange, how could Qiao Yuan, who was born in casual cultivation, have so many spirit stones, and there was no trace of heartache in his appearance, which made them feel that Qiao Yuan was a little mysterious.

The strangest thing is that Qiao Yuan never buys spiritual weapons and pills, only buys talismans, and as long as there are talismans with strong attack and defense, which made Yi Chenfeng ask curiously.

"Senior Brother Qiao, what are you buying these things for?"

"Of course, it's to save my life, no matter how many spirit stones there are, what's the use of my life gone, so I like to replace the spirit stones with talismans to use. ”

Qiao Yuan said naturally, but it was a little strange that these words fell on the ears of Fang Jingxing and Chen Surou, how could the Moon River Sect need these things to save their lives.

Although Yi Chenfeng was puzzled, he didn't open his mouth to ask again, after all, Qiao Yuan spent his own spirit stones, and people could buy whatever they wanted, and he had no right to interfere.

Half an hour later, they left Xiaohan City, and Edgeworth galloped towards the Moon River Sect.

When everyone flew to the valley where Qiao Yuan was attacked, several people didn't care, but flew directly into the valley.

"Is that him?"

Qiao Yuan, Yi Chenfeng and the others didn't notice at all that on a high slope at the entrance of the valley, there was a black-robed man standing there, with a pitch-black crow on his left and right shoulders, and the two crows heard the black-robed man's hoarse words, and at the same time let out a cry of "wow".

The black-robed man heard the shout, pinched out the seal with both hands, squatted down and pressed his palms on the ground, accompanied by a fluctuation of spiritual power, the valley in front of him gradually disappeared, and then he stepped out, and the figure also disappeared with the valley.
