Chapter 281: The Saintess is Dumbfounded: Physical… Quality?

After blowing into it, the sound of the flute seemed to have no problems.

Saintess Fanhua became even more puzzled and touched the body of the flute.

“Strange, why do I always feel a faint smell, and the touch feels a bit sticky? It’s not that I’m feeling wrong, is it? What is…”

Saintess Fanhua wanted to investigate further in confusion.

But Chu Qingyue, who was watching this scene from the side, suddenly seemed to remember something, and her face instantly flushed red.

“How could I have forgotten such an important thing? I should have at least washed it before returning it to her!”

“We… we’re still discussing important matters, why are you looking at the flute?”

But the flute had already fallen into Saintess Fanhua’s hands, and Chu Qingyue could only immediately stop her from continuing to examine it.

“That’s true.”

Saintess Fanhua paused slightly, then put the strange thought behind her, and carefully put the bamboo flute away into her spatial pouch.

After all, this was a Heavenly Grade magical treasure related to music. She wouldn’t even dare to touch it if it had dust on it.

Seeing Saintess Fanhua put away the bamboo flute, Chu Qingyue’s strange expression slowly dissipated.

“Besides returning the bamboo flute, you must have something else to discuss with me, right?”

Gazing at Saintess Fanhua, Chu Qingyue seemed to be able to see right through her.

“Hehe, indeed, there are other matters.”

Saintess Fanhua smiled embarrassingly, but said faintly:

“Qingyue, can you give me some face? I always feel like I’m naked in front of you, everything is seen through.”

“There’s no one else here.”

Chu Qingyue smiled coldly.

Although there was no other meaning in her smile, it frightened Saintess Fanhua into hurriedly retracting her following words.

“Well, actually, I have a little secret to tell you.”

Saintess Fanhua leaned close to Chu Qingyue’s ear and whispered:

“In a Forbidden Area near Great Emperor Jin Ming’s territory, it seems that some treasures have been unearthed.”

“Treasures? When did you become interested in other Great Emperors’ treasures?”

“It’s not that I’m interested, it’s because…”

Saintess Fanhua quickly explained the reason.

Under normal circumstances, unless it was a divine weapon that fell from the sky, enough to cause a sensation throughout the Lanchuan Continent, few treasures could arouse the attention of super huge forces like the Fanhua Sacred Lands oand Heavenly Cloud Palace.

But this time, it was no ordinary treasure.

Because a major event might have occurred in the Emperor Mausoleum, Saintess Fanhua had sent disciples to investigate the vicinity several times today, and she had even gone there twice herself.

In addition to the anomaly in the Emperor Mausoleum, she also observed some other strange things.

Recently, in a Forbidden Area under the jurisdiction of the Great Emperor Jin Ming, it seemed that some kind of treasure had appeared.

If the Great Emperor Jin Ming had normally sent someone to retrieve the treasure, it might not have aroused much attention.

But the Great Emperor Jin Ming’s attitude was extremely strange.

After the anomaly occurred in the Forbidden Area, not only did he not make any announcements, but he slowly and falsely dispatched disciples with lower cultivation levels.

On the surface, it just looked like training.

It wasn’t until Saintess Fanhua personally arrived near the area that she saw the clue.

Those disciples were not going to the Forbidden Area for training, but were secretly searching for something.

The seemingly training was actually to cover up their true intentions.

That desert Forbidden Area was considered a Forbidden Area open to cultivators of various sects, no matter how formidable they were.

Although a vision had occurred, because it seemed that the Great Emperor Jin Ming did not have any reaction, most cultivators were kept in the dark, thinking that nothing important had descended, and did not even have the slightest intention of going to explore for treasures.

Saintess Fanhua continued:

“If the Great Emperor Jin Ming hadn’t shown these strange actions, perhaps it would just be ordinary magical treasures emerging. But he spent so much effort trying to hide the truth, there must be something fishy going on within. I’m afraid the grade and value of that magical treasure far exceeds imagination, and more importantly…”

Speaking of this, Saintess Fanhua completely restrained her joking expression:

“The recent situation in the Emperor Mausoleum is increasingly strange and unusual. The Heavenly Grade magical treasures unearthed at this time, I even suspect that this magical treasure might have something to do with the Emperor Mausoleum.”

“Is that so…”

After hearing these words, Chu Qingyue also fell into deep thought.

Judging by Saintess Fanhua’s words, the Great Emperor Jin Ming’s actions were indeed full of oddities.

And the most important thing was that the unearthed magical treasures might be related to the Emperor Mausoleum.

It was no exaggeration to say that the Emperor Mausoleum was the most important, mysterious, and strange place in the Lanchuan Continent.

The matters within the Emperor Mausoleum might even affect the entire Lanchuan Continent.

No matter what it was, as long as it might be related to the Emperor Mausoleum, there could be absolutely no slacking off.

“That desert Forbidden Area is open to the world. Do we need to go and investigate?”

Chu Qingyue said coldly.

“Not yet.”

Saintess Fanhua hurriedly stopped her:

“The Great Emperor Jin Ming has hidden this matter so deeply, he must be extremely afraid that it will be spread out. If we directly go there, I’m afraid we will alert him. It’s better to send a ‘disciple’ to see if the people under the Great Emperor Jin Ming have the strength to seize the treasure from him.”

Chu Qingyue: “The disciple you’re talking about is…”

Saintess Fanhua smiled charmingly: “I already have a candidate.”

As they spoke, their gazes converged on Nie Chen’s direction.

“Huh?”

Nie Chen looked left and right.

Sure enough, there was no one else in the hall except himself.

So they discussed for a long time, and in the end, it fell on his head?

“This matter will be entrusted to you.”

Chu Qingyue looked at Nie Chen and coughed lightly:

“The Great Emperor Jin Ming and Heavenly Cloud Palace have never had any grudges, so he shouldn’t do anything outrageous. It doesn’t matter if you can obtain the magical treasures, you just need to pay attention to your own safety, and along the way, improve your strength and… physical… quality.”

When she said the words “physical quality,” Chu Qingyue’s gaze unintentionally dodged, as if she was slightly bashful.

“Right, I almost forgot about this matter. Physical quality or whatever, still needs to be improved quickly.”

“You know it.”

Chu Qingyue’s voice was faint.

She glanced at Nie Chen, and Nie Chen also looked at Chu Qingyue.

The two smiled knowingly, as if they fully understood each other’s thoughts.

Only Saintess Fanhua, who was beside them, looked left and right, always feeling that her head was a little confused.

“Physical quality? Nie Chen is not a mortal. With his Transforming Sea Realm cultivation, his physical quality must be top-notch. Is there any need to improve his physical quality?”

But the smiles of these two people made her suddenly puzzled.

The silent exchange before her eyes was not dog food, but it was better than dog food, leaving Saintess Fanhua dumbfounded and speechless.
