The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 697 Treasures and Tokens

"Thank you, Madam Zhao, for saving my life!" The female knight named Qiong Niang pulled the quilt upwards and thanked Gong Yun again solemnly. She couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, Madam, how about my clothes...?"

"After you forcibly used the 'Sunset Shocking Waves Sword', your dress was torn into tatters by the uncontrolled vitality, so I dealt with it directly... Anyway, you can't move in the past few days, and you need to take a medicinal bath frequently, so you don't need to be naked.

"Well, when the searches on the streets are less strict, I'll go buy you one."

At this point, Gong Yun glanced at the part of Qiong Niang that was covered by the thin blanket, and then smiled and said, "As for my clothes, they may be a little loose for you and may not fit you."

Even if it doesn't fit, it's better than wearing only a mask on your whole body... Qiong Niang really wanted to say this, but considering that this might be Madam Zhao's excuse for not wanting outsiders to wear her clothes, she held back.

However, she soon noticed that the other party actually mentioned the term "Sunset Shocking Waves Sword", and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Madam, do you recognize the sword technique I use?"

This sword technique came from an ancient book written in "Tao characters" and contained the secret of magical powers. She was lucky to meet a master who was able to decipher it, so it should be that not many people could recognize it.

"I've seen it with my husband... Actually, I was just about to ask, where did you learn this 'Sunset and Shocking Waves Sword'?" Gong Yun was indeed a little curious about this. After all, she had only seen this sword move when she was helping Zhao Chen organize the ancient books he had "translated".

Zhao Chen also spoke highly of this move, saying that if it were not for the lack of supporting basic skills, it would not be inferior to Li family's "Red Emperor Yangyuan Sword" in terms of mystery alone.

Qiong Niang thought about it and felt that many people knew about this sword technique when she first obtained it, so it was not a secret, so she said frankly: "I had an adventure when I was traveling in Shanzhou a few months ago, and this sword technique was the reward.

“It’s just that it was written in ‘Dao characters’ and could not be cultivated at that time.

"It was not until I met a master of 'interpretation' named 'Xuantan Taoist' at Xiyu Tower in the Biyue Mountain Market that I was able to decipher this sword technique."

Taoist Xuantan... Gong Yun looked at the girl with a strange expression. She knew that Zhao Chen had used this name before, and she couldn't help but feel that fate was really a bit strange.

Of course, she didn't know that the "Xuan Tan Taoist" that Qiong Niang met was not actually Zhao Chen.

"What a coincidence! My husband also bought the same ancient book, but it was translated. It might have come from you." Gong Yun briefly mentioned how she recognized the "Sunset Shocking Waves Sword" and asked, "From your accent, Qiong Niang, you should be from the southwest?"

"Yes... I'm from Yunzhou." Qiong Niang nodded and said without any wariness.

In other words, she didn't mind Mrs. Zhao inquiring about her background and details.

"I didn't expect that although you look young, Miss Qiongniang, you have traveled all over the country, doing justice and daring to draw your sword against the powerful and wealthy. You are really amazing." Gong Yun exclaimed.

Qiong Niang was a little embarrassed by the compliment, but after hearing the words "draw the sword to the dandy", she suddenly remembered the scene she saw before she fainted, and hurriedly asked: "Madam Zhao, how did Yan Huai end up?"

"Yan Huai? Are you talking about that playboy? Of course I have killed him with magic." Gong Yun answered lightly.

"Yan Huai is dead? No wonder you said the street searches were very strict..." After a moment of silence, Qiong Niang showed an anxious look on her face, and hurriedly said, "Madam Zhao, you are in big trouble.

“Although Yan Huai is nothing, his uncle is the current head of the Guo family in Lingwu County!
"As a county family, the Guo family not only has dozens of supernatural masters, but also the ancestor of Dongxuan..." "So, Madam, you should stop caring about me. Escape from Ningzhou as soon as possible and rush to the Central Plains to be completely safe."

This girl has a really good heart. After knowing that I was in trouble, the first thing she thought of was to let me escape as soon as possible... It was worth it that I saved her.

Gong Yun raised the corner of her mouth, pressed Qiong Niang back as she was struggling to get up, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I changed my appearance and aura when I attacked, so they can't recognize who I am."

“Madam Zhao, you may not know how terrifying a prominent family is. There must be a master of supernatural powers in their family who is good at divination. If Yan Huai hadn’t been in trouble, they might not have resorted to such means. But now that he is dead, the situation is completely different!

"Since they can't find anyone, they must be asking for divination, so you'd better run away quickly." Qiong Niang was very anxious and emphasized again.

Seeing that she was really thinking about him, Gong Yun stopped teasing her and said directly: "I know very well what methods the prominent families use... Don't worry, my husband will help me cover up the secret, and they can't 'calculate' anything on my head."

As she spoke, she revealed a confident expression that said, "I also have a strong background."

Seeing this, Qiong Niang was relieved a little, guessing that the husband of the lady in front of her might be a master of supernatural powers, and might even come from a prominent family or a big sect. So she said self-deprecatingly: "That's right... I have always been thinking about things from the perspective of a casual cultivator, and forgot that your origin is also extraordinary."

"What's wrong with being an independent cultivator? There are many chivalrous and courageous people among them. For example, you, Qiong Niang, are willing to stand up for someone like Manager Xin who has nothing to do with you." Gong Yun, who was also an independent cultivator, said to "stand up for justice."

“Don’t flatter me. I don’t dare to really kill Yan Huai. I can only find a way to steal the heirloom they stole and return it to Shopkeeper Xin…” Having said this, Qiong Niang suddenly stopped, because she was horrified to find that the treasure that should have been stored in her storage bag had actually merged into her body and was quietly "lying" in her own inner world.

"What's going on?" Qiong Niang murmured.

"What's wrong?" Gong Yun had no interest in the so-called treasures that the "Refining Orifice" and "Magic Power" monks were fighting for, so he didn't check Qiong Niang's storage bag, not knowing that the thing was gone.

"Nothing... I just don't know what happened to Manager Xin's only surviving descendant now, and whether he has been found by the Guo and Yan families." Qiong Niang was not really naive after all. She understood that it was not appropriate to reveal everything to the person even if he was her savior.

Gong Yun could naturally see that she was hiding something, but she didn't care too much.

She saved Qiong Niang because she saw that she was a good person and she couldn't bear to see such a chivalrous woman fall into a tragic situation.

Secondly, he wanted to use her to stir up disputes between the Feng family and the Guo family.

By the way, he also helped his seventh sister to reveal the information about "Chiyou's Lair".

So no matter what the so-called heirloom of Shopkeeper Xin was, she had decided that it was a token that contained information about it.

As for where the token came from? How could Feng Qing believe it?
Gong Yun turned her head and looked at the black double doors that suddenly appeared beside her, and her eyebrows unconsciously curved.
