Chapter 10: Chapter 10: Opening the Treasure Chest Chu Qing was not wrong; less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn after he left, two figures rushed over.
"The corpses are here!"
Chu Fan landed first, looking around, seemingly searching for someone.
The silent Junior Sister Wen stood by, holding a strip of cloth.
Faintly visible were the words ’Night Emperor’ fluttering in the wind.
After a while, when Chu Fan found nothing, he focused on the two charred corpses:
"Again, it’s the Night Emperor’s doing... Who exactly is this person?"
Junior Sister Wen did not answer, but kept staring at the words on the cloth.
Seeing this, Chu Fan waited a moment before asking:
"Junior Sister, have you noticed anything?"
Junior Sister Wen pondered slightly before speaking seriously:
"The handwriting of this person... is really ugly."
"..."
Chu Fan seemed stunned for a moment, then chuckled helplessly.
He was long accustomed to his junior sister’s nature, and didn’t take offense.
Still reminiscing just now, he couldn’t help frowning:
"Don’t know where those two crazy women came from, truly detestable! Thankfully the Night Emperor intervened, exterminating the Iron Horse Seven Thieves, or else who knows how many more innocents they would harm."
Upon hearing this, Junior Sister Wen thought for a moment and said:
"They were deceived."
Chu Fan nodded, waiting for the two Iron Horse Seven Thieves to leave before they fought for a while longer; it was then that Chu Fan found the opportunity to explain.
Through question and answer, Chu Fan quickly elaborated his background and origins.
The two women halted immediately, feeling ashamed and furious, declaring those thieves were unforgivable for deceiving them.
For now, they would seek traces of those thieves, and after killing them, they would return to apologize to Chu Fan.
After speaking, they leapt away, disappearing in an instant.
Leaving Chu Fan almost jumping in place... because the direction they chased was not the same as the direction the Iron Horse Seven Thieves went!
Who knows whether these two were really that foolish, or deliberately deceitful?
After that, he then pursued together with Junior Sister Wen, but while midway, they encountered two horses hanging with human heads.
"No matter what, the downfall of the Iron Horse Seven Thieves is ultimately a good thing."
Chu Fan said this, suddenly thought of something, and asked:
"By the way, Junior Sister, while chasing them earlier, you disappeared when I turned my head; where did you go?"
Junior Sister Wen’s expression remained calm, saying in a low voice:
"I saw a flower between the mountain streams. It was exceedingly bright, so I went to pick it."
"...I shouldn’t have asked you!"
Chu Fan bared his teeth in frustration; if someone else said this, it would certainly be a lie.
But Junior Sister Wen... never lies.
She truly was someone who would do such a thing.
Unreliable!
Extremely unreliable!
Though Chu Fan was indeed accustomed to it.
Under Cui Bunu of Taiyi Sect’s Angerless Divine Fist, Junior Sister Wen was not the only unreliable one.
If the eldest senior brother were here...
Thinking of this, Chu Fan suddenly felt a toothache.
He sighed:
"No wonder Master often jumps in anger every day despite claiming to be Angerless..."
...
...
[One unopened Martial Arts Treasure Chest, do you wish to open it?]
In a cave on a Desolate Mountain, Chu Qing was both roasting meat and opened the system interface.
This prompt popped up immediately.
"Open."
