MTLNOVEL Chapter 1119: You Want to Snatch It?
So in Lan Haifeng's view, Lan Xinyi handing this elixir over to Su Chen was undoubtedly infringing on his interests!
"Lan Haifeng, what do you mean by this?"
Lan Xinyi snorted:
"This stone chamber was discovered by Su Chen, and the jade spirit pill was also obtained by him first, so naturally it is his!"
In Lan Xinyi's view, without Su Chen, they would never have found this stone chamber, let alone this jade spirit pill!
"Hmph, treasure hunting in ruins is always about strength, who cares who got it first!"
Lan Haifeng snorted disdainfully.
Upon hearing this, Lan Xinyi was somewhat at a loss for words!
Indeed, in treasure hunting in ruins, the strong are respected!
However, Lan Xinyi is someone who values fairness; if someone else finds something first, she generally wouldn't intentionally snatch it, and since it's Su Chen, she definitely wouldn't!
Moreover, Su Chen trusts her so much, he handed it over for her to see without any precaution when he got it just now.
"What? You want to snatch it?"
Su Chen curled his lips into a smile.
He has seen such things too many times and doesn't care at all!
"That's right, I advise you to hand over the jade spirit pill obediently!"
Lan Haifeng said coldly.
Of course, he couldn't let go of the jade spirit pill!
In his eyes, what does it matter that you got it first?
A common man is innocent, but bearing a treasure is a crime!
Does a guy at the Meridian Expansion Eighth Layer deserve to possess this thing?
"What if I say no?"
Su Chen tilted his head playfully and looked at him.
I haven't even gotten time to settle accounts with him, and he's jumping out again!
Really clueless!
"Then don't blame me for taking action!"
Lan Haifeng said with a flash of sinister intent in his eyes.
"Lan Haifeng, as the eldest miss of Yunhai Hall, I command you not to take action!"
Upon hearing Lan Haifeng's words, Lan Xinyi immediately shouted.
"Sorry, Xinyi, I can't agree to this!"
Lan Haifeng said with a cold laugh:
"I think Xinyi you should be standing on the same front line as me!"
"How about you guys? Are you not listening to me either?"
Lan Xinyi asked the others.
The other people had a slightly uneasy look on their faces, because no matter what, Lan Xinyi is still the eldest miss of Yunhai Hall.
Although they didn't speak, they still stood by Lan Haifeng's side!
Seeing this, Lan Xinyi was furious, her chest heaving!
"It seems that the matters within Yunhai Hall are quite intricate!"
Seeing this scene, Su Chen showed a nuanced expression!
Ordinarily, how would the people below dare to show such an attitude to Lan Xinyi, the distinguished eldest miss?
"I'll say it one last time, hand over the jade spirit pill!"
Lan Haifeng said with a flicker of icy intent in his eyes!
"Jade spirit pill, this is a good thing, how could I miss my share!"
Just then, a voice rang out as a group of people appeared at the entrance of the round hall!
Leading them was none other than Zhou Hao, the young sect master of the Liewu Sect previously encountered!
Seeing the people from Liewu Sect, Lan Xinyi's heart suddenly skipped a beat, why were they here?
Su Chen, however, suddenly had a meaningful smile on his face and glanced at Lan Haifeng!
Lan Haifeng felt his heart tremble upon meeting Su Chen's gaze, as if some secret had been seen through!
Nevertheless, seeing Zhou Hao and the Liewu Sect people arrive, Lan Haifeng's feelings grew complex!
Because Zhou Hao was summoned by him; upon entering, when everyone went off to find treasures individually, he secretly contacted Zhou Hao, informing him of Su Chen's well-being!
Consequently, Zhou Hao immediately contacted the two men he had sent out and found they could no longer be reached!
Thus Zhou Hao naturally knew that those two were in trouble, which intensified his hatred and anger towards Su Chen, and he rushed here following the location described by Lan Haifeng!
Only Lan Haifeng hadn't anticipated that Su Chen would discover the formation and even crack it open!
Nor did he expect the existence of the jade spirit pill!
Now that Zhou Hao is here, of course, he wants a piece of the pie!
If Lan Haifeng had known there would be a jade spirit pill, he might not have contacted Zhou Hao!
His intent in contacting Zhou Hao was to have him deal with Su Chen, or at least make his life difficult!
"Young Sect Master Zhou, do you think the death of two people is too few?"
Upon seeing Zhou Hao, Su Chen sneered playfully.
"Did you kill my people?"
Hearing this, Zhou Hao's eyes suddenly erupted with brilliance!
He had suspected this before, given that those two were sent to assassinate Su Chen!
But how could this young man who was merely at the Meridian Expansion Eighth Layer resolve the two Half-Step Kaiyuan experts Zhou Hao dispatched?
Despite having seen Su Chen demonstrate his abilities once before, Zhou Hao believed he had at most the strength of Half-Step Kaiyuan, making it impossible to kill the two people he sent!
Yet now, none of this mattered; all he needed to know was that the incident involved this young man!
"Su Chen, what happened there? Why did you kill the people from Liewu Sect?"
Lan Xinyi asked curiously.
"You'd better ask him."
Su Chen glanced at Lan Haifeng and smiled.
"Why are you looking at me? How would I know?"
Lan Haifeng sputtered somewhat flusteredly.
"Lan brother, what does it matter if he knows? Are you afraid of him?"
Zhou Hao chimed in.
Upon hearing this, Lan Haifeng immediately snapped back to his senses!
Yeah, so what if this guy knows?
Is he really capable of doing anything to me?
"Su Chen, what exactly happened?"
Lan Xinyi asked once more.
"Nothing much, just ran into two short-sighted people on my way who wanted to kill me."
Su Chen shrugged nonchalantly.
Lan Xinyi, upon hearing this, immediately understood; those two were definitely from Liewu Sect!
As for why they wanted to kill him, presumably partly due to Su Chen's prior humiliation of Zhou Hao, and partly because she was rather close to Su Chen!
Lan Xinyi was thoroughly aware of Zhou Hao's intentions towards her, but she had no feelings for him at all!
Moreover, it seemed that this matter was closely tied to Lan Haifeng, given their previous hostility!
Lan Xinyi, not being a fool, quickly surmised that Lan Haifeng had secretly divulged Su Chen's route to Zhou Hao.
Since they separated near the ruins, it was natural for Lan Haifeng to know Su Chen's general route!
She just hadn't expected Lan Haifeng to be so narrow-minded!
Of course, she hadn't expected Zhou Hao to truly harbor murderous intent towards Su Chen!
"How could you two do such a thing?"
After figuring out the gist, Lan Xinyi angrily questioned.
"Such a garbage, if killed then killed; what's the big deal!"
Zhou Hao replied indifferently.
In his heart, Su Chen was merely a dispensable character; provoking and obstructing him meant being killed, without needing much consideration!
