Supernatural Insight Eyes-Chapter 1914 - 1915: The Sound of the Zither in the Peach Grove
Not until the Mother Mountain Saint Heir and Zhou Quan disappeared did Ye Qiu stand beside Li Jin.
"Did he recognize me?" Ye Qiu couldn’t help but feel a little shaken. From the Mother Mountain Saint Heir’s reaction just now, he thought the other had recognized him as Ye Qiu.
Fortunately, in the end, the other continued to delve deeper into the sanctuary; otherwise, Ye Qiu felt that this grand gathering would have nothing to do with him. Once his identity was exposed, staying here would be as good as seeking death. Who knows how many people in the ancestral land want to kill him.
In reality, the Mother Mountain Saint Heir only found Ye Qiu’s gaze somewhat familiar, reminding him of Ye Qiu. As for the possibility of Ye Qiu appearing in the ancestral land, the Mother Mountain Saint Heir thought it unlikely. The distance from Earth to the ancestral land is too vast, not to mention that the Earth has now sealed itself off; outsiders can’t enter, and those inside can’t get out.
It turns out the Saint Heir Zhou Quan knew was merely the Mother Mountain Saint Heir, who used to be defeated under Ye Qiu’s hands and was often dealt with by him.
Ye Qiu’s thoughts suddenly flashed back to the scenes on Earth when he faced off against the Mother Mountain Saint Heir and later even auctioned him off at a not-so-low price.
I wonder if the people from the ancestral land know about this event; probably the Mother Mountain Saint Heir wouldn’t be talking about it.
While Ye Qiu was lost in thought, he heard Li Jin say, "Thank you for being willing to follow me. Rest assured, if anyone dares to go against you, I will definitely lend a hand."
Uh...
Ye Qiu felt puzzled instead. Why was Li Jin suddenly acting so courteous? After a turn of thought, Ye Qiu knew that Li Jin was probably moved because he didn’t run over to Zhou Quan, causing him to change his attitude.
Actually, regarding Zhou Quan’s invitation, Ye Qiu never considered it. He would prefer to spend more time outside, which would allow him to better search among the incoming people for the presence of the girls. Otherwise, running to Zhou Quan’s side and becoming his lackey would mean entering the sanctuary first.
Moreover, staying by the Mother Mountain Saint Heir’s side was not feasible. If the Mother Mountain Saint Heir really noticed something, it would not be worth the loss.
However, Li Jin didn’t know Ye Qiu’s situation and believed him to be loyal, unmoved even with the Saint Heir backing Zhou Quan. Such a person was someone Li Jin was willing to associate with.
Ye Qiu looked around, searching for the girls’ figures. As for male martial artists, he observed whether there were people like Qin Feng or Jin Shanshun, while Li Jin stood by, feeling more moved, considering Ye Qiu to be the perfect partner to live and die with.
As more and more people gathered, stalls began to appear around the crowd, forming a small market, with quite a few people joining the vendor ranks.
After all, it wasn’t easy to catch the gathering of so many martial artists. It was normal to sell things they didn’t need.
Regarding this behavior, the Turquoise Pool Holy Land made no sound to stop it, seemingly turning a blind eye and ignoring it.
Perhaps, one could say, the Turquoise Pool Holy Land tacitly allowed such actions.
Many martial artists silently took out the things they didn’t need, placed them on the ground, and waited for buyers. Seeing this scene, Ye Qiu felt interested. It was somewhat like attending a big fair.
He ran to the stalls, scrutinizing various items to see if there was anything good.
It was just like browsing an online marketplace; some things looked ordinary and mundane, but in some people’s eyes, they were treasures.
Ye Qiu began browsing around, with Li Jin following alongside, having nothing else to do anyway.
"How much is this?"
"Five star coins."
"What about this one?"
"Three star coins."
Interestingly, Ye Qiu found many things that piqued his interest, such as communication jade pendants, simple yet practical, and not expensive either.
Ye Qiu directly bought out all the communication jade pendants from one stall owner, leaving Li Jin a bit dumbfounded and muttering, "Weren’t the star coins you used for the spaceship all your belongings?"
Seeing Ye Qiu take out star coins again, Li Jin deeply doubted Ye Qiu’s claim of "all his belongings."
"This time, it’s really all my belongings." Ye Qiu smiled.
Li Jin temporarily chose to believe him, thinking perhaps it might truly be as Ye Qiu said. However, no sooner had he said this than Ye Qiu turned again, took a fancy to something else, and handed over twenty more star coins, leading Li Jin to question if Ye Qiu misunderstood the phrase all his belongings.
Damn, you keep saying all your belongings, yet you still have star coins with you. Are you teasing me?
"This time, it’s really all my belongings, really no more star coins left."
"How much is this?"
"Bought it."
Li Jin chose not to comment further on Ye Qiu’s repeated "all my belongings."
People have money, and they spend it as they like. What right does he have to stop them?
Regarding the various items the martial artists were selling, Ye Qiu was more curious. Of course, he wasn’t lacking in money and still had quite a few star coins on him.
However, the items he bought were those useful to him. As for things he deemed useless, he didn’t even want to spend one star coin on them.
Seeing how Ye Qiu repeatedly took out ten or twenty star coins, Li Jin started to wonder if Ye Qiu was a wealthy elite and began to seriously regard this person he previously deemed foolish.
After spending a little over a hundred star coins, Ye Qiu stopped buying and just glanced around. He knew not to show off his wealth; a little over a hundred star coins weren’t much, but neither was it insignificant. For some people, it was a fortune.
Once too many star coins were taken out, it was easy to attract attention.
The discreet Ye Qiu didn’t want to create such trouble.
In this way, Ye Qiu and Li Jin stayed in front of the mountain gate of the Turquoise Pool Holy Land for five days, finally welcoming the Turquoise Pool grand gathering.
Regarding the girls and figures like Qin Feng and Jin Shanshun, Ye Qiu didn’t see them, feeling somewhat disappointed, losing even the mood to participate in the Turquoise Pool gathering.
On the contrary, Li Jin felt very excited, stubbornly dragging Ye Qiu into the crowd, entering the Turquoise Pool Holy Land.
Once arrived, settle in.
Ye Qiu no longer dwelled on the lack of news about the girls, shifting his focus to the event host—the Turquoise Pool Holy Land.
Turquoise Pool Holy Land, being a super sect in the ancestral land existing for thousands of years, surely had remarkable aspects, and Ye Qiu just happened to have the chance to glimpse how powerful this large sect truly was.
By observing Turquoise Pool Holy Land, he could also indirectly understand the strengths of sects like the Taiyi Divine Sect behind the Taiyi Saint Heir and the Demon God Sect behind the Demon Lord Holy Son that he dealt with on Earth.
With this idea, Ye Qiu began secretly studying the strength of the Turquoise Pool Holy Land.
...
Peach Forest.
A woman sat in the peach grove, gently stroking the strings of a zither, the wind lifting her hair, carrying the notes along.
After a long time, the music ceased, and a maid beside her reminded, "Saintess, the gathering has begun; the ancestor asks you to attend."
"I understand."
The woman stood up, revealing a beautiful face; she was precisely the Turquoise Pool Saintess.
