Grandma heard that the six of them were disciples of the Jiuhua Mountain sect, and she was obviously very close to a few of them.
"I said that these young heroes are all very impressive. They are rare young heroes in the world. It turns out they are disciples of the famous Jiuhua Mountain Sect! I just asked you to forgive the old woman for being a little rude. I hope that these young heroes will not Sorry."
Everyone held hands and returned the gift, not even daring to accept it.
Grandma continued: "Since the young heroes are all disciples of Jiuhua Mountain, I won't be polite. This time you rescued Coral, my beautiful family must be grateful, so as not to show that the old woman has lost her etiquette."
After grandma finished speaking, she stretched out her hand to signal, and there was already a Jiaoren guard standing by, who brought a plate. Grandma reached out and lifted up the white brocade covering it, revealing a patch of starlight.
Everyone craned their necks to look, and saw six round, shiny pearls placed neatly on the plate.
Grandma pointed at these pearls and said with a smile: "Hehehe, young hero, please look at these six luminous pearls. They are rare treasures in the world. Not only can they be made into precious jewelry, they can also be ground into powder and used as medicinal materials. Used for making elixirs. If you don't want to make jewelry or make elixirs, you can carry them with you and use them as lighting at night or in dark places. The old woman specially ordered people to take out six of them as a thank you."
Mu Jingyu stayed still, his thoughts were not here. Since by chance, he saved the coral of the shark clan and successfully came to the clan where the sharks lived in seclusion, how could he let such a good opportunity slip away and leave with only a few pearls?
It's just that the six of them have been muttering in the pavilion outside for a long time, but they can't come up with a solution. When they meet the leader of the Shark clan later, how should they ask for the Abyss Colorful Pearl? They can't just ask for it directly!
Grandma saw a few people motionless and felt a little angry in her heart. She thought it was because the six people's eyes were too high to look down on the treasure she took out! How could they have guessed their purpose of coming this time?
Forcibly suppressing the dissatisfaction in her heart, grandma laughed a few times and said: "It seems that the young heroes don't like the treasures that the old woman brought out? It doesn't matter. In order to express my beauty's gratitude, the old woman said again Let’s exchange a treasure for a few of you. I hope that this time, you will accept it with honor.”
After grandma finished speaking, she asked a beauty guard to come close to her ear and whisper to her. The latter nodded, turned around and walked out again. When he came in again, the tray in his hand had been replaced with six orbs of the same size and different colors.
"Everyone, please see, this is the White Night Orb treasured by our clan. It is even more precious than the previous orbs. Its efficacy is the same as the White Night Orb, but the effect has to be improved by more than one level..."
Grandma introduced me for a long time, but after seeing the six people, they were still indifferent. No matter how good her temper was, she said with a cold look on her face: "Why, you young heroes can't even look down on such treasures?"
Seeing grandma's obviously displeased expression, Mu Jingyu and others smiled bitterly. It's not that they don't like it, it's just that it's still a thousand miles away from what they want in their hearts.
It seems that the seven-colored abyss bead must be the most precious treasure among the Shark people. It may be impossible for grandma to take it out automatically to express gratitude. Anyway, they couldn't think of any excuse to ask grandma to take it out automatically, so they had to insist on it.
Mu Jingyu gritted his teeth and said, "Grandma misunderstood, it's not that these treasures are bad. It's actually us...it's actually what we need, not these precious jewels. But...the colorful beads of the abyss!"
After Mu Jingyu said the last five words, not only did he feel restless, but Qin Yunchuan and others also held their breath and looked at grandma nervously. Coral even covered her mouth in surprise, unable to believe her ears.
I saw grandma's expression, from solemn at the beginning, to serious, and finally ferocious. She slammed the table and said angrily: "Tell me! Who are you from, and what are your intentions in joining my Jiaoren tribe?" !”
The several handsome guards beside them all raised their weapons and surrounded the six people.
Anyway, after making his words clear, Mu Jingyu stopped hiding them and replied in a deep voice: "Grandma, please calm down, we are indeed disciples of Jiuhua Mountain. We came to Beiluo Star Continent this time just to find the colorful abyss. Pearl, to heal and detoxify a friend of mine. It was only by chance that I saved Sister Coral and Brother Chen..."
Grandma interrupted angrily: "Is it really just a coincidence? I don't think so. Who knows if you secretly colluded with the people of Guiyun Villa and set up a false trap to help you, just to find my Jiaoren tribe! "
Qin Yunchuan smiled helplessly: "Grandma, what did you say? Our ability to save Sister Huan and Brother Chen was really a coincidence, not intentional."
No matter how Mu Jingyu and others explained it, grandma just didn't believe it. She raised the corner of her mouth and snorted coldly: "Humph! You are full of nonsense! I think even your identities as disciples of Mount Jiuhua must be fake!"
Qin Yunchuan reluctantly opened his coat, revealing the Jiuhuashan costume underneath. A high mountain peak appeared on the left side of his chest. As his true energy poured into it, a fairy sword suddenly appeared and inserted straight into the mountain peak. After a silent blow, the mountain peak was split into nine petals by the fairy sword, blooming like a flower.
This symbol of the sword slashing Huashan Mountain is the unique identity certificate of Jiuhuashan disciples and cannot be faked.
Seeing this, the three girls Zhou Yan, Su Yingying and Shen Mengdie also followed Qin Yunchuan's example, revealing their Jiuhuashan costumes and showing the symbol of the Sword Splitting Huashan to prove their true identities.
When grandma saw this scene, she just sneered disdainfully, pointed at Mu Jingyu and Yu Yuanxiu and said, "The four of you are disciples of Jiuhua Mountain, so who knows where these two people come from?"
Mu Jingyu gritted his teeth and said: "Grandma, as for our identities... I am the leader of Jiuzhou's casual cultivators, Mu Jingyu, a disciple of Jiu Xianjiu. And the person next to me is Nangong Sword Immortal. Disciple Yu Yuanxiu."
At this point, Mu Jingyu decided not to hide everyone's true identity. Only with the greatest sincerity can it be possible to gain grandma's trust.
"Mu Jingyu? Yu Yuanxiu?" Grandma lowered her head and pondered for a moment. She really couldn't think of these two figures in Jiuzhou.
Presumably, the Jiaoren clan lives deep in the North Sea and has very little contact with the major sects in Kyushu. Speaking of Jiugui and Nangong Jingqiu, these two senior masters have been famous for a long time, she has naturally heard about them. But for this period of time, Mu Jingyu, who has become the center of competition between various forces, knows very little.
"Since you are the disciples of Jiu Xian and Nangong Jingqiu, I think your character will not be bad. However, old woman, no matter where you heard about it, there is an abyss colorful pearl in our clan, and who asked for it. Forgive me for not being able to help you, but I will give you the colorful beads of the abyss."
Seeing his grandma's determined look, Mu Jingyu pondered for a moment and then said: "Grandma, these colorful beads of the abyss are really of great use to us. If grandma is willing, Jingyu is willing to exchange them for some things that the nobles need. have no idea……"
At this moment, Xue Ling, who had just walked out of the door, suddenly left and came back. First, he looked at Mu Jingyu and others with hostility, then leaned over and whispered a few words into his grandma's ear.
After she finished speaking, her calm grandma returned. Then her face changed drastically, she pointed at Mu Jingyu and others, and shouted: "Come here, get these six people!"
Several handsome guards who had been standing aside for a long time put their swords on the necks of the six people. More than a dozen guards also poured in from outside the door, and formed a large circle outside to prevent Mu Jingyu and others from suddenly attacking.
Mu Jingyu was stunned for a moment. Weren't we having a good chat just now? Why did Xue Ling surround them again after saying a few words? And looking at grandma's expression this time, she was obviously even angrier than before.
"Grandma, I wonder if you are always..."
Grandma didn't listen to Mu Jingyu's words at all and shouted: "Search for me! If you can't find the whereabouts of squid juice in their clothes, pry open their mouths, noses, eyes and ears!"
"yes!"
After the more than ten handsome guards responded in unison, they began to search the entire bodies of Mu Jingyu and others without any explanation. It was just as grandma said, not only their clothes were searched, but their mouths, noses, eyes, and ears were also searched. What's more, there were several beautiful guards who began to take off a few people's clothes to check their underwear.
Qin Yunchuan, Yu Yuanxiu and the other three men were fine. As women, Zhou Yan, Su Yingying and others had never suffered such humiliation. Even though these beauties are all women, there are still three men, Mu Jingyu, standing by. Isn't it the greatest shame to really make a beautiful woman take off her clothes?
It's just that Mu Jingyu didn't know why his grandma suddenly acted like this, and because the situation was unclear, he was afraid that excessive resistance would aggravate his grandma's anger, so he allowed them to search arbitrarily.
But seeing that they were actually trying to take off the clothes of Su Yingying and others, I finally couldn't help it anymore. The true energy exploded out of the body, knocking all the beautiful guards aside.
"Grandma, I don't know how we, the juniors, have offended the nobles to treat us like this!"
Grandma was so angry that she snorted and remained silent. Waiting quietly for the handsome guards to finish their search.
Xue Ling frowned, returned to her grandma, and shook her head slightly at her.
The latter asked in surprise: "What? Didn't you find the squid juice?"
"We have searched everything, and indeed there is no trace of squid ink." After Xue Ling finished speaking, she cast her eyes on Coral again, and the meaning was clearly understood.
Coral was stunned, and after hurriedly groping around on his body, he hurriedly said: "Grandma, Aunt Xue, there really is no squid juice on Coral. If you don't believe it, you can search it at will!"
Grandma looked at the seven people present, her expression finally softened, and she murmured to herself: "Don't they all have it? Then who brought this sudden appearance of squid juice..."
Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly flashed: "Chen An!"
Xue Ling immediately understood and ran out, heading to Chen An's place. After a while, he hurried back again.
"Grandma, Xue Ling just checked. Indeed, traces of cuttlefish juice were found on the wound on Chen An's back! I think when he was planted with fish eggs and cordyceps by the people at Guiyun Villa, they also planted them inside. .”
Grandma kept tapping her fingers on the table: "If you want to put it this way...this time, the coral was first attacked by others, and then was besieged by the disciples of Guiyun Villa. I'm afraid it was not an accident. It was a plan secretly laid by someone, and the purpose was It is time for Hualu to take Chen An back to the clan."
Coral, who was standing aside, turned pale with fright after listening to her grandma's analysis, and her trembling body almost lost her balance. She cried and said, "Grandma, grandma, Coral has hurt the tribe!"
Shen Mengdie was still smart and immediately understood why grandma was like this. After comparing it with my previous doubts, I suddenly got a rough idea.
"I dare to ask grandma, but someone used Sister Coral to secretly plant the poisonous fish egg cordyceps in Chen An's body, as well as this thing called cuttlefish juice, and tracked it all the way here?"
Grandma did not expect that Shen Mengdie had already discovered something fishy about it. She nodded and said, "Little girl, you are right. Someone did secretly set a trap to lure Hualu back to the clan with Chen An. Moreover, I'm afraid, Their purpose was not really to harm Coral and Chen An, but to use them as bait."
"As for whether you saved Coral and Chen An... maybe it was just a coincidence..."
