Chapter 1794 - 1799: My Man
Just at the entrance, Lin Fei and his younger sister, Gai Xiaolian, were seen.
"Yo, little sister! What brings you here? Are you hurt at all?"
Gai Xiaolian’s second brother, named Gu Xiaoba, although he saw his sister coming over, showed no authority despite being the elder brother, since the strength was there.
"I’m here to fetch something." Gai Xiaolian, serious and unsmiling, didn’t care about Gu Xiaoba being her brother.
"Oh, fetching what?" Gu Xiaoba looked at Gai Xiaolian and involuntarily glanced at Lin Fei, and with just one look, he was stunned—it was that newly arrived fellow!
"What I want to fetch is..."
"Little sister, who is he? Why is he following you?" Gu Xiaoba interrupted Gai Xiaolian and asked her.
Gai Xiaolian looked at Lin Fei, "He’s my... man!" She hesitated for a moment while saying this, but eventually confirmed it.
"What? Little sister, what are you saying? He’s your man? You can’t be serious! This guy just arrived here to steal something, how can he be your man? You shouldn’t choose a man like this!" Gu Xiaoba couldn’t comprehend what was wrong with his sister.
Gai Xiaolian frowned, "Second brother, I hope you mind your words. He is my man now, and no matter what, I will be responsible. I hope you don’t intervene or meddle; just give me the vault key." Her tone was tough.
"I just don’t want you to be deceived, little sister, this person is really no good, he’s just a thief, ask him if you don’t believe me."
After Gu Xiaoba finished speaking, he signaled his subordinates, and they brought forth Shang Madao, asking him, "Hey, do you know him? Is he your accomplice?"
Shang Madao looked at Lin Fei, then shook his head, "I don’t know him; he’s not my accomplice."
"Bullshit! Let’s see how long you can stick to your story; wait till you’re severely punished!" Gu Xiaoba didn’t expect Shang Madao to cover for his accomplice, so he became relentless.
"Alright, second brother, keep your BS aside. Give me the key; I need to enter the vault." Gai Xiaolian said, reaching out her hands to ask her brother for the key.
Gu Xiaoba replied coldly, "I don’t care what your relationship is with him or what you’re thinking, I simply can’t give you the key, nor can I let someone of unknown identity enter the vault. Guards!"
"Yes!"
The surrounding soldiers gathered around, surrounding Lin Fei and his party.
"What do you intend to do?" The Elder asked.
"Uncle Xiao, judge for yourself, am I right or is he right?" Second Young Master Gu Xiaoba asked.
"Of course, Second Young Master is right, but Miss is not wrong either..." Uncle Xiao spoke with well-rounded words, almost senseless.
"Heh, Uncle Xiao is correct. I’m indeed doing the right thing. Little sister, I advise you not to protect him further; hand him over to me and let me handle it." Gu Xiaoba said.
However, at this moment, Gai Xiaolian still showed no signs of backing down, she furrowed her brows and said, "Second brother, I hope you don’t go too far; hand over the key immediately and have the people withdraw."
Upon hearing Gai Xiaolian’s words, Gu Xiaoba’s face twitched, then he sighed and tried persuading, "Little sister, what I’m saying is true; why would you trust an outsider? I bet you don’t even know his identity; he’s a thief!"
Bang!
An overwhelming aura suddenly burst forth, with late-stage Nascent Soul Realm power, surely enough to resolve everyone present, as Gai Xiaolian instantly released her strength, scaring the surrounding troops into hurried retreat.
Even Gu Xiaoba felt like retreating, but finally sighed, "Okay, since you insist, here, the vault key, but let me remind you, appearances can deceive, be careful not to fall for his trick!"
Gu Xiaoba dared not block this woman, having been regulated by her before. Despite being siblings, she was considered the treasure of the entire city, with the City Lord pampering her—who wouldn’t envy?
Unexpectedly, Gu Xiaoba didn’t think Gai Xiaolian would fancy Lin Fei, a thief from the Lower Realm?
Gai Xiaolian accepted the gleaming key and walked towards the vault, with Lin Fei following, soon disappearing from sight.
"The Elder cannot go in. Uncle Xiao, you just stay here and wait a moment?"
"Haha, I understand, I understand." Uncle Xiao said, then calmly sat on the steps, waiting for Gai Xiaolian’s return.
Meanwhile, Lin Fei followed Gai Xiaolian into the vault.
Officially entering and sneaking in before were different scenarios; Lin Fei observed the gold, silver, and jewels, remarkably composed, as precious items are more beautiful without risking life or wearing oneself out.
Currently, Lin Fei was in a very perilous situation, and though he appeared calm, indeed, he was calm, having ventured deep into the tiger’s den at the summit.
Lin Fei looked at the gold below, precisely speaking, golden pillars with a dazzling radiance, never expecting so much gold melted into such a mass, imagining weapons resembling the Ocean Stabilizing God Needle?
This train of thought resulted merely from Lin Fei’s idle imagination, nothing more; conversely, he was deeply shaken.
At present, Lin Fei followed Gai Xiaolian all the way forward to the upper area, questioning what was special about this place?
"What are you planning to do?" Lin Fei felt odd seeing Gai Xiaolian heading towards the restricted area; there must be an issue. Could the treasure be amidst the gold, shining attire appeared dazzling.
Gold and jewels covered the floor beneath Lin Fei, but he harbored no greed, merely wishing for a quick way out, lest it spell trouble, nobody would care for that.
Following Gai Xiaolian, Lin Fei reached the center of the golden pillars, surrounded by jewels, almost transforming him into gold; how immense was such treasure!
"What exactly are you searching for?" Lin Fei inquired.
Gai Xiaolian looked at Lin Fei and replied, "For the passage entrance."
