Lin Qingxue supported Li Zhe. Seeing that Ye Xuan did not catch up, she said, “Senior Brother Li, you must sit down and recuperate first.”

Li Zhe sat cross-legged and meditated to recuperate. Lin Qingxue sent messages to the people in the sect.

Not long after, Bai Haoyu received the news and rushed over. When he saw Li Zhe’s sorry state, he could not help but frown. “What happened? How did Junior Brother Li get injured?”

Lin Qingxue gritted her teeth and spoke apologetically, “I’m sorry, eldest senior brother, we lost that stone.”

Bai Haoyu’s expression changed when he heard this. “How could you lose it? It is the Penglai Immortal Stone!”

!!

When Bai Haoyu saw Lin Qingxue’s guilty expression, he could not blame her anymore.

“We tracked down the stone and figured out that an unfamiliar cultivator had bought it. We asked him for it. Then, Senior Brother Li quarreled with that person. They got into a fight.”

After listening to Lin Qingxue’s story, Bai Haoyu was shocked. “I can’t believe there’s such a thing. Someone could defeat Junior Brother Li in one move.”

Lin Qingxue nodded. “I did not see how he did it. When I came back to my senses, Senior Brother Li was already injured.”

Bai Haoyu’s gaze fell on Li Zhe. “Junior Brother Li, can you explain the situation?”

Li Zhe’s face was filled with embarrassment as he said, “I didn’t know either. I felt a powerful force hit my body, and I couldn’t resist at all.”

As Li Zhe spoke, his voice became softer and softer.

The wrinkles on Bai Haoyu’s face were so deep they could squeeze a mosquito to death. “This person is powerful. To be able to defeat you in an instant, his cultivation must be unfathomable. Could he be from the Dao Seeking Sect or a disciple of the Heaven Sect?”

Lin Qingxue shook her head and said, “I don’t think his moves are from those sects. Also, his face is unfamiliar. With such strength, he shouldn’t be unknown in the seven major sects. I’ve never seen him before.”

“Most importantly, he’s only Human Realm level 2.”

Bai Haoyu fell into deep thought. “This person’s background is mysterious, and he’s displayed extraordinary strength. It seems like he has an extraordinary background.”

After all, cultivation could be concealed with magic weapons or other methods. They all thought Ye Xuan was like this, but they did not know that his true strength was only at Human Realm level two.

“What should we do now?”

“Didn’t you say that he went to Treasure Pavilion? Let’s go and investigate it. Maybe we can get some useful information.”

However, they failed to get any information.

If it were any other customer, perhaps Manager Sun would give them some information out of respect for Misty Illusory Manor. But just now, Ye Xuan had bought all the goods in their pavilion.

They had never seen such a generous customer before, so how could they dare to offend him? The smile on Manager Sun’s face gradually faded, “Although I really want to help you, we have to keep the privacy of our guests confidential.”

“We understand.” Bai Haoyu replied courteously, “But I still hope you can make things easier for us. That way, we’ll be able to report back to our superiors.”

Even if Bai Haoyu used Misty Illusory Manor as a threat, Manager Sun was not afraid. Treasure Pavilion had been in Jingdu for so many years. How could we develop our pavilion to its current scale without a strong background?

The boss behind Treasure Pavilion was mysterious and rarely showed themself in front of people. Some said they were the grand elder of the seven great sects, and some said they came from a powerful force.

All in all, there were many different stories, but there was one thing that everyone agreed on. This person’s strength was definitely not ordinary.

“If I make things easier for you, I will have trouble reporting to my higher-ups. You all know the rules of Treasure Pavilion. It’s not easy for me.”

Manager Sun’s words were flawless, and no one could find any fault with them. Li Zhe was so angry that he spoke without thinking. “You are quite arrogant. You don’t even have any respect for our Misty Illusory Manor.”

“That’s not right. We’re just being responsible for all our guests. I hope you can understand.”

Seeing that Manager Sun was unmoved, Bai Haoyu and the others had no other choice. If the grand elder or the sect master of the Misty Illusory Manor stepped in, there might still be a way out.

Bai Haoyu’s expression did not change. He maintained his elegant demeanor and said, “If that’s the case, we won’t force you to do something against your will. We won’t disturb you any further, Manager Sun.”

Manager Sun was very polite. “It’s fine. If you come to buy it next time, I’ll give you a reasonable price as an apology.”

Walking out of Treasure Pavilion, Li Zhe was indignant. “Senior brother, why are you being so merciful to him? At worst, we can capture this Manager Sun. We can force him to tell us the whereabouts of that person.”

Bai Haoyu looked at him indifferently.

“You still think that the trouble isn’t serious enough? Do you think you can act so presumptuously in Treasure Pavilion? If we arrest their manager, the person behind the scenes will come to us. Do you want to make a scene and let everyone in Jingdu know? ”

Li Zhe immediately gave up. “It’s not that bad.”

Lin Qingxue agreed with Bai Haoyu. “Eldest senior brother is right. Treasure Pavilion is not a good place. Let’s not cause any more trouble. However, they won’t tell us anything. How are we going to find this person? ”

Li Zhe seemed to have thought of something and quickly added, “Didn’t those hawkers say before that his accent didn’t sound like he was from Jingdu? He should be from another place.”

“The sect returning ceremony is around the corner. There are many people from other sects coming in. Could this person be one of them? ”

“Perhaps we can start from here. Otherwise, we’ll have to alert Master.”

However, there were so many sects from other places. Trying to find a person here was like looking for a needle in a haystack. For a time, they were in a dilemma.

“No matter what, we have to give it a try. We have to find that stone!”
