Chapter 1091: Such a Complicated Relationship
"Whoosh!"
Almost at the same time, a graceful figure suddenly swept from under the mountain peak, and it was a young woman with a good appearance.
She looked at Xu Que in confusion, her brows slightly furrowed: "Young Master Zhan, why aren't you speaking?"
"Uh, nothing, how is the preparation going?" Xu Que immediately restored Zhan Gaoli's usual expressions and even imitated the tone of his speech.
He was very curious. When he passed by earlier, he didn't discover the existence of this woman, but after the woman came out, he knew that an array had been laid out in this mountain, shielding all auras.
Now that this woman took the initiative to come out, Xu Que immediately started his performance, wanting to figure out what else Zhan Gaoli had to do, and actually had an appointment with someone.
"How else could it be going? Now we can only wait for them to mature. According to what we agreed on before, all the Bilin Fruits will mature in three days, and the four of us will split them equally! But Young Master Zhan, you run back every two or three days, could it be that you still don't trust me?" Speaking of this, the young woman swept a glance at Xu Que with eyes that seemed to be blaming him.
Xu Que immediately raised his eyebrows. Good fellow, couldn't tell, this woman actually had an affair with Zhan Gaoli!
"Of course not, how could I not trust you!" Xu Que instantly smiled.
The young woman's face changed slightly, hurriedly pushed Xu Que away, and whispered: "Disgusting, they are still down there. If they are discovered, our plan will be very difficult to succeed!"
"Haha!" Xu Que laughed again, but didn't act recklessly anymore.
He basically could determine the general situation. Clearly, Zhan Gaoli and others had discovered a Bilin Tree together, but the fruits hadn't matured yet, so they used an array to cover this place to prevent others from noticing.
However, the relationship between this woman and Zhan Gaoli was also not simple, and even the two of them had another plan in private.
As for what this plan was, Xu Que didn't even need to think to guess that the two of them wanted to swallow the Bilin Fruits alone!
"Since you're here, let's go down. Anyway, there are only three days left. You must be careful when the time comes, you must strike ruthlessly, otherwise, if they notice it in advance, we will be in trouble." At this moment, the woman spoke again.
Xu Que nodded: "Don't worry, with my strength, solving them is easy!"
"Hmph, still have the nerve to say that. You don't know how terrified I was every time I poisoned that dead ghost these past few days. Fortunately, your poison is hidden enough, and he didn't expect that the woman who had accompanied him for decades would poison him, so he hasn't noticed it yet!" The woman immediately rolled her eyes at Xu Que.
Upon hearing this, Xu Que felt a chill in his heart.
To think this woman was so ruthless, actually colluding with Zhan Gaoli to poison her own man!
Holy shit, this is simply a replica of Pan Jinlian and Wu Dalang, and he, "Zhan Gaoli", is the living Ximen Qing!
"Haha, I can let you do this, surely I have full confidence. Alright, let's hurry down, lest they get suspicious!" Xu Que casually replied and urged the woman to go down together.
After all, he didn't know any details about any plan now. If he continued to chat, in case he chatted about the details of the plan and couldn't answer, it would be embarrassing, and he would definitely be noticed that something was wrong by this snake-hearted woman.
Finally, guided by the young woman, Xu Que only cast a little lightness skill and landed in the mountain.
Because of the woman's pathfinding, Xu Que passed through the array without obstruction and successfully arrived in the array. Only then did he discover that the environment at the bottom of the mountain was completely different.
This place was just as desolate as the outside, but the spiritual energy was incredibly abundant. In the center of a piece of withered land, a giant tree tens of meters high was actually growing, and the trunk was covered with dense patterns, looking very much like a Qilin.
Of course, what was truly precious about this tree were its fruits!
Bilin Fruit was a very rare spirit fruit. Its growth environment requirements were very harsh, but this kind of spirit fruit was naturally a pill, a treasure for Human Immortal Stage cultivators, capable of increasing a large amount of immortal yuan, breaking through bottlenecks, and having no side effects.
Simply put, one Bilin Fruit could be compared to five hundred years of closed-door cultivation by a Human Immortal Stage cultivator, extremely rare and precious!
And now, on this Bilin Tree, eight pale green Bilin Fruits were hanging. Each Bilin Fruit was only the size of a little finger, emitting wisps of light and rich spiritual energy. As long as they completely turned into a bright green color, it meant they were mature and ready for consumption.
Seeing this, Xu Que's heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate.
He finally discovered a treasure that could make his heart move. If he could swallow these eight Bilin Fruits, he wouldn't need to spend a lot of time in closed-door cultivation, and he had the confidence to rush to the late Human Immortal Stage, or even reach the Earth Immortal Stage in a few days, which was much faster than killing for experience before!
"Eh, Young Master Zhan, you're here?" At this moment, a hoarse voice came.
Xu Que turned his head to look and saw two men walking out of a temporary cave dug out, speaking. The person who spoke was a middle-aged man, his voice very hoarse, as if a mouthful of phlegm was stuck in his throat.
And on the middle-aged man's face, there were many scars. The key was that these scars looked very strange, like a kind of rune imprint, impossible to remove, looking extremely ugly.
Another man looked plain, but his features were somewhat similar to the middle-aged man, but there were no scars on his face, and his cultivation was similar to the middle-aged man's. The middle-aged man was at the peak of the Human Immortal Stage, while this person was at the mid-stage of the Human Immortal Stage. Clearly, they should be two brothers!
"Hmm, nothing happened outside, so I came over to wait for these Bilin Fruits to mature with you!" Xu Que immediately nodded and responded in a tone that was slightly arrogant.
He felt that with Zhan Gaoli's status, it was unlikely he would mix with this group of people, and the middle-aged man even carried a trace of wariness when speaking, so Xu Que felt that he couldn't be too polite and had to show Zhan Gaoli's arrogant posture.
The result also showed that he was very correct in doing so. The middle-aged man and others didn't have the slightest suspicion of him, and after hearing this, they nodded, and their attention was focused on the Bilin Tree!
"Alright, we don't need to surround this Bilin Tree here, it will take three days to mature anyway!" At this moment, the young woman smiled slightly and walked to the middle-aged man's side, affectionately holding his arm.
The middle-aged man also smiled: "Haha, still Mei Mei who sees clearly. Alright, let's go in first."
After speaking, the middle-aged man wrapped his arms around the young woman's willow waist and walked into the cave, and then casually cast a barrier to cover the cave entrance.
But with Xu Que's strength, he still easily heard the heavy panting coming from inside. Clearly, the two had gone in to do indescribable things.
"Tsk tsk tsk!"
Xu Que shook his head in his heart, not expecting Zhan Gaoli to have such a heavy taste, actually picking up the broken shoes of this ugly man.
However, at this moment, Xu Que happened to glance at the other man who had been silent all along. He should be the middle-aged man's younger brother. He hadn't spoken a word from just now until now, but when Xu Que glanced at him, he vaguely saw a trace of jealousy and hatred flashing in his eyes when he stared at the cave.
Although this emotion flashed and disappeared, Xu Que still captured it truly and clearly, and couldn't help but be startled in his heart. Could it be that both brothers liked that woman?
"Hmph, this cheap woman!" Suddenly, the man cursed in a low voice, then ignored Xu Que and turned to another cave.
Xu Que didn't feel anything at first, but after the man entered the cave, he suddenly realized something was wrong!
This man seemed to be cursing the young woman just now, what's the situation...
Xu Que was a bit messy. What a complicated relationship!
