Chapter 449: An innocent man treasures a jade ring and commits a crime

Restaurant, backyard.

The table was filled with delicacies, and Lin Chen sat alone in the courtyard.

"Sorry to keep Young Master Gu waiting."

A sweet voice came from the room, and a woman with bright eyes and white teeth, with exquisite features, wearing a red dress and light gauze, walked out slowly.

Qiao Shishuang walked with a graceful gait to Lin Chen's side.

"Thank you, Young Master Gu, for resolving the siege for me this time. I will toast you first to show my gratitude."

A pair of slender hands picked up the wine pot on the table, but Lin Chen reached out and pressed it down.

"Sorry, I don't drink. Miss Qiao, please give me the Dragon Blood Bodhi first, and then tell me what business you want to discuss with me."

Lin Chen did not lower his guard because of the beauty toasting him. Although under his spiritual sense perception, Qiao Shishuang did not play any tricks, this woman could steal treasures from the Seven Stars Sect, so she could not be underestimated.

"Young Master Gu, why be in such a hurry for this moment..."

Qiao Shishuang's beautiful eyes turned, and her delicate body was about to lean in, but the next moment, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar and couldn't help but shiver.

Before her eyes, this Gu Fei seemed to have become a different person, and a sharp aura locked onto her. When she saw the meaning in Gu Fei's eyes, Qiao Shishuang had no doubt that if she didn't take out the Dragon Blood Bodhi, Gu Fei would kill her.

"Miss Qiao, my patience is limited."

Lin Chen spoke lightly. He appeared here because he was interested in the Dragon Blood Bodhi, not in this woman.

Qiao Shishuang didn't have any other thoughts, but her vigilance against this Gu Fei increased a bit in her heart; this person was completely unlike a disciple walking out of a super sect.

"This is the Dragon Blood Bodhi."

Qiao Shishuang took out a jade box from her bosom, placed it on the table, and opened it. An oval fruit exuding rich vitality appeared before Lin Chen.

Dragon Blood Bodhi was not really stained with dragon blood, but a fruit borne by a Bodhi tree growing in the dragon veins of heaven and earth.

Confirming that the Dragon Blood Bodhi was correct, Lin Chen put the jade box directly into his bosom and into his hundred-object box, then looked at Qiao Shishuang: "Miss Qiao, what business do you want to discuss with me? Let's make it clear together."

"Since Young Master Gu is so anxious, I won't beat around the bush. I know of a place that has a Dragon Blood Bodhi tree. Conservatively estimated, there should be dozens of Dragon Blood Bodhi fruits left. I want to cooperate with Young Master Gu to go to this place and pick the Dragon Blood Bodhi."

Hearing that Qiao Shishuang knew the location of the Dragon Blood Bodhi tree, Lin Chen was not too surprised. He had already guessed that the business Qiao Shishuang wanted to discuss was related to the Dragon Blood Bodhi.

Either she knew the location of the Dragon Blood Bodhi tree, or she knew of some treasure land hiding more Dragon Blood Bodhi fruits.

"Dragon Blood Bodhi is worth a fortune. Miss Qiao, don't you want to occupy it alone?"

Qiao Shishuang sighed faintly: "Young Master Gu, why test me like this? I want to find Young Master Gu to cooperate because, relying on myself alone, I cannot go to the place where this Dragon Blood Bodhi tree is located."

"Young Master Gu, rest assured. Since we are cooperating, I will definitely lay out all the circumstances and will not hide anything from Young Master Gu."

Lin Chen smiled slightly and didn't answer. He only believed half of what Qiao Shishuang said.

"Young Master Gu, the place where the Dragon Blood Bodhi tree is located is at the junction of the Fulong Domain and the Xuanhuang Domain. It's just that there are many powerful demonic beasts around the Dragon Blood Bodhi. Relying on my own strength, I'm afraid it's difficult to get close, which is why I want to cooperate with Young Master Gu."

"Has this kind of place not been discovered by other sects?"

Hearing Lin Chen ask this, Qiao Shishuang smiled: "Young Master Gu may not know, because this is the junction of the two domains, whether it is the Fulong Gate or the Xuanhuang Sect, to avoid causing misunderstandings, they will not send too many powerful people to operate at the border. As for ordinary practitioners, because of the existence of demonic beasts, they dare not get too close."

"Miss Qiao, why did you find me?"

Lin Chen looked at Qiao Shishuang. If that Dragon Blood Bodhi tree existed in a place with many demonic beasts, Qiao Shishuang had no need to find him to cooperate. Being able to cultivate to the Xiantian realm, one would have a few powerful friends of the same realm on the road of the Martial Way.

If it were him, he wouldn't find a stranger he had only met once to cooperate. Even if he valued the other party's strength, who could guarantee that the other party wouldn't have thoughts of wanting to occupy the Dragon Blood Bodhi alone?

Especially a disciple like him from a super sect, he could call a few fellow sect brothers to cooperate at any time. Even if he went back on his word, this Qiao Shishuang would be helpless.

"I know what Young Master Gu is worried about, so I will tell Young Master Gu the truth. The place where this Dragon Blood Bodhi tree is located was not discovered by me, but was known by a family in the Fulong Domain. That family hides a map to the Dragon Blood Bodhi tree. At that time, I went to that family with a few people, but in the end, because of some reasons, the map was split into two, and what I got was the innermost part of the map."

Qiao Shishuang sighed. She also wanted to occupy it alone, but she didn't have the complete map. That area alone had an extremely large number of demonic beasts watching, and relying on herself alone, it was very difficult to break into the inside; she could only find someone to cooperate with.

The most critical thing was that the person who took the other half of the map could rely on the map to avoid the outer demonic beasts, and by comparison, they had a greater advantage than her.

"Miss Qiao, your explanation is not clear enough. If it's just this information, I don't intend to cooperate with you."

Lin Chen shook his head. This Qiao Shishuang was clearly not telling the truth, and her words were vague. Just because of this, he would not take the risk.

"Young Master Gu, I didn't want to say it so clearly, just because some things are hard to speak of."

Qiao Shishuang smiled bitterly, but seeing Lin Chen's firm attitude, she said helplessly: "Forget it, to dispel Young Master Gu's doubts, I will lay it all out."

"I have a good relationship with the grandson of an Elder of the Seven Stars Sect. Seven days ago, the two of us were traveling in the Fulong Domain and met another practitioner. The other party also knew the grandson of that Elder of the Seven Stars Sect, and the other party told a piece of news: in the Chu family of the Three-River City, there hides a secret, and the Chu family knows the location of a Dragon Blood Bodhi tree." ===== CHAPTER 450 =====
