Martial Arts Becomes Invincible Starting from the Golden Body

Chapter 20 The Secret of the Jade Tiger

An old man and two young people stood in the room
After listening to Li Guiyuan's words, Fang Chen nodded. Now was not the time to read it, so he kept it close to him and would study it carefully after returning.

"By the way, what are you doing here today?" Li Guiyuan asked.

After hearing what he said, Fang Chen slapped his forehead and almost forgot about the important matter.

"Do you know about the spotted jade tiger in Liuyin Mountains?" he asked hurriedly.

"Oh, you mean the news?"

Li Guiyuan frowned and thought for a while before he suddenly realized. It was not that he had a bad memory, but if Li Zhen had not mentioned such a trivial matter to him, he would not have cared about it at all.

"Yes! Do you know the hidden story?" Fang Chen bowed and asked.

"Uh……"

Li Guiyuan was dumbfounded. It was just a small spotted jade tiger. Even a finished Yunjin Pill would be of no value to him. How could he take it seriously?

He immediately looked at Li Shishi who was standing beside him, and seeing that she was also shaking her head, he spoke: "Shishi, go and call Zhener over!"

"I remember he mentioned this to me this morning."

Fang Chen felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, "This... don't bother Sister Shi Shi, I can go ask Senior Brother myself."

Unexpectedly, Li Guiyuan waved his hand calmly, "It's okay, I just want to know more about it."

"Then...okay!"

Li Shishi didn't hesitate and went straight out to the front hall.

The two didn't have to wait long before Li Shishi and Li Zhen came quickly.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Zhen looked at Fang Chen in surprise. Li Shishi didn't say much to him on the way, only saying that his master wanted to see him about something.

"I've met the master!"

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Li Zhen saluted Li Guiyuan in a serious manner.

"Um,"

Li Guiyuan nodded calmly, then asked, "Zhen'er, I remember you talked to me about the spotted jade tiger. What was the details?"

Li Zhen was stunned. Didn't the master say he didn't care? Why did he ask about it again?

In a flash, without any hesitation, he told everyone what he knew.

"According to my understanding, this news was first spread the day before yesterday, but somehow it suddenly became known to the whole city early this morning."

"Are you saying there is something fishy here?" Li Guiyuan frowned.

Li Zhen nodded, otherwise he would not have mentioned this matter specifically to his master, and the Yunjin Pill was useless to him.

"Brother, do you know how this news spread? Has anyone really seen the spotted jade tiger with their own eyes?" Fang Chen suddenly interrupted.

"Uh... this news is indeed a bit confusing, and no one has ever seen a spotted jade tiger with their own eyes."

Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, then answered.

Fang Chen couldn't help but frown even deeper. There was obviously something wrong here!

"Do you suspect there is something unusual about this matter?" Li Shishi asked gently.

“It’s obvious!”

Li Zhen and Fang Chen said in unison, and they smiled at each other.

"Pfft!" Li Shishi chuckled, and a hint of blush appeared on her fair and translucent face.

But she reacted quickly, restrained her expression, and returned to her dignified and gentle appearance, which made someone who accidentally saw her feel regretful.

"Since you all know that the problem here is obvious, what is the purpose of the person behind the scenes?" Li Shishi kept smiling.

"There should be no spotted jade tigers in the Liuyin Mountains!" Li Guiyuan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly remembered something and said decisively.

"what?"

The three of them quickly cast doubtful glances.

Li Guiyuan stroked his beard and said with a smile, "About six years ago, people from that place came to the Liuyin Mountains in search of rare and exotic animals such as the spotted jade tiger and the moon-slashing wolf."

"I remember that Old Shangguan personally went into the mountains to search for him in order to curry favor with him. Given his character, there is no way any fish would have slipped through the net!"

Li Shishi and Li Zhen were thoughtful after hearing what he said, and they confirmed Li Guiyuan's guess in their hearts. No wonder they hadn't seen the spotted jade tiger in the past few years, otherwise it wouldn't have caused a sensation in the whole city this time.

"Only a few of us know about this matter. The person behind the scenes you mentioned should not know about it."

Although Fang Chen only understood half of what he heard, he still nodded in agreement. If he knew that the man didn't care whether others suspected him or not, he would not have chosen Banyuhu. At least he should have done some superficial work!
Then this is a definite conspiracy, but I don't know what the purpose of attracting so many warriors over there is?
Several people obviously had the same idea and exchanged glances a few times, but it was impossible to know the truth by just guessing at home.

"Okay, no matter what the conspiracy is, just ignore it. Be careful not to go to Liuyin Mountains recently." Li Guiyuan frowned.

Obviously he no longer wants to take care of this matter. He is not the city lord, so let old Shangguan worry about any problems!
Several people nodded. This was the only way for now. Even the elite disciples...

Li Zhen sighed. It was impossible to stop it. Anyone who was not a fool could see such an obvious problem. It was impossible for an elite disciple to be a fool if he could cultivate to such a level.

They just want to try their luck for that one in ten thousand chance, and it is impossible for the martial arts school to order people not to go. The disciples of the martial arts school are not slaves of aristocratic families, and they must have some freedom after all.

If you try to stop him by force, it will only make him resentful towards the martial arts school!

But Li Zhen was not too worried. There were already many warriors heading to Liuyin Mountains, and even a few poor martial artists were tempted. After all, even if they could not use it, selling this thing would bring a lot of money!

There are so many martial artists who practice strength, and martial artists who practice power. Could it be possible that they all died in there?
No one has this ability!

"Well, don't worry about it anymore. Brother Fang, just go back and tell your close ones." Li Zhen said.

Fang Chen nodded. This was the only way. He couldn't control others. If something really happened, he could only blame themselves for being too greedy.

"Master, can I tell others the truth?" Fang Chen asked Li Guiyuan.

Li Guiyuan thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, but remember to tell them not to spread the news. Old Shangguan is not a narrow-minded person. I am not afraid of him, but you may not be."

Fang Chen nodded, and then asked curiously: "Who is the Shangguan you are talking about?"

"That's the city lord you're talking about!" Li Guiyuan rolled his eyes.

"This……"

Fang Chen didn't dare to ask any more questions. He only now found out that the city lord's surname was Shangguan.

After Fang Chen left, Li Shishi suddenly asked, "Why don't you accept him?"

Li Guiyuan paused and coughed, "Cough cough!"

"No rush...no rush..."

"Besides, what kind of genius have I not seen? He..."

Li Shishi curled her lips secretly, knowing that her grandfather's old illness had come back again. She rolled her eyes and suddenly said:
"How about I take him directly to Xingliu Valley?"

"Bullshit! Star Valley is bullshit! Why go to Star Valley?"

Li Guiyuan became anxious and started cursing.

With a gentle smile, Li Shishi said nothing more. She just wanted to remind the old man.

Li Zhen stared at the scene in front of him dumbfoundedly. What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?
And how come Xingliu Valley is nothing? Doesn’t the master have a good relationship with them?

"What are you still doing here?" Li Guiyuan frowned and snorted.

Li Zhen was confused. Are you talking about me?

isn't it?
