Chapter 1015 Common Goal
Chen Yang suddenly thought of something and looked up at Rong Yuqing.
Tian Ji Ling Long!
"Boss Rong, there's something I need to ask you."
"Did you come this time to buy some treasures?"
As soon as Chen Yang said this, Rong Yuqing's brows immediately furrowed.
Rong Yuqing had thought Chen Yang was coming for something else, but this question clearly indicated their goals were the same.
They were both after the treasures of Mount Kunlun.
"This... Chen Yang, if there's something you want, you can ask me!"
"Given our relationship, I won't even charge you."
"Tian Ji Ling Long has to conduct business, so we need to have some items on display, right?"
"Don't compete with me for those treasures from Mount Kunlun. I'll give you some concessions on our previous contracts."
Rong Yuqing and Chen Yang had more than just a personal friendship; they also had business dealings.
Rong Yuqing had already paid in advance for Chen Yang's elixirs and spatial treasures.
However, after Rong Yuqing finished speaking, Chen Yang shook his head with a bitter smile. "I didn't come here to compete with you for these treasures."
"Xi Bai, besides being a God of War, is also a successor of the Seven Schools of Confucianism. He had something stolen from him earlier..."
At this point, Rong Yuqing also understood.
Why were there so many treasures on Mount Kunlun?
Others might not know, but Rong Yuqing, after bringing Gong Chengchun into Tian Ji Ling Long, couldn't possibly be unaware.
Mount Kunlun had a divine thief with many treasures.
Rong Yuqing had come here precisely for that.
But now, just as he had come to collect the items, the actual owner had also arrived. He was now in a dilemma about whether to stay or go.
As Rong Yuqing was agonizing over the decision, a voice echoed from within Mount Kunlun.
"You brat Chen Yang! I already showed you favor last time, and you got back what you were owed!"
"Why are you still here!"
Everyone could hear the displeasure in the voice.
Chen Yang's mouth twitched. This guy sounded quite reasonable!
Xi Bai had held back for a long time, but upon hearing this aggressive tone, he immediately jumped up and cursed, "You're still making excuses for stealing? One item is one thing, but you took them all!"
"Today, I'll see how much effort it takes to dismantle your Mount Kunlun!"
Xi Bai had already decided that if he could get his things back today, he would never return.
He'd rather die here than go back!
Going back would be too humiliating!
He couldn't afford to lose face like that!
Rong Yuqing helplessly wiped the sweat from his forehead, realizing that this deal was likely off.
He had hoped to find some treasures on Mount Kunlun to hold an auction and make a fortune.
Now, it seemed all that was gone.
Rong Yuqing said awkwardly, "Since that's the case, Tian Ji Ling Long will take its leave. If you need us in the future, you can find us again."
As Rong Yuqing spoke, he prepared to lead Gong Chengchun away.
But just as they turned to leave, a ray of divine light suddenly emerged from within Mount Kunlun.
A giant golden egg blocked Rong Yuqing's path.
"Little girl, wait a moment!" the voice came from within the golden egg.
Everyone stared with wide eyes, looking at the golden egg in disbelief.
Including Chen Yang, they had all assumed the person responsible for these deeds was some kind of powerful demonic beast.
Never in their wildest dreams did they expect it to be a golden egg that hadn't even hatched.
The moment Rong Yuqing saw the gold, a greedy glint appeared in his eyes.
A good thing!
This was definitely a valuable item. If he could take it back, it could even serve as the treasure of Tian Ji Ling Long.
"No! How can you look at me like that! My shell is golden, but it's not gold!"
"If you keep looking at me like that, I won't sell you anything!"
Hearing this, Xi Bai flew into a rage. "Sell what? That's my stuff!"
Just as they were about to make a move, Chen Yang quickly stopped Xi Bai.
Chen Yang looked at the golden egg helplessly. "Those treasures are heirlooms of Confucianism. If you return them now, Confucianism will naturally not come to Mount Kunlun."
"But if this matter is dragged out, and the old scholars of Confucianism find out about this, it might not be so easy to resolve."
"Confucianism is respected in the secular world, and most martial artists have some connection with Confucianism."
"If that happens, it's inevitable that some hot-headed individuals will come to Mount Kunlun looking for trouble. Not only will it disturb your cultivation, but it will also harm the reputation of Mount Kunlun."
Although Chen Yang's words were gentle, his meaning was sharp and pointed.
The golden egg bounced slightly and then snorted, "I just don't like them, those Confucians! They promised something before, and years have passed with no action!"
"Until their promise is fulfilled, I won't return their things!"
This time, Chen Yang was completely stunned.
So, there was something else going on behind the scenes?
Chen Yang turned to look at Xi Bai.
However, Xi Bai also looked bewildered. Seeing Chen Yang's gaze, he quickly shook his head. "Don't look at me, I don't know anything about this!"
The golden egg continued, "Don't worry, I won't sell Confucian items. I contacted Tian Ji Ling Long to sell other things, and it has nothing to do with you!"
"Little girl, I'll take you to see my treasury."
"But I'll say it upfront, cash on delivery. Do you have enough spirit stones?"
Rong Yuqing patted the necklace around his waist. "Senior, please rest assured, Tian Ji Ling Long has no shortage of spirit stones. As long as the items are good, we can take them all!"
He then lowered his voice further. "Those Confucian treasures, could you let me have a look later?"
"Then I'll help you sell them back to Confucianism. Besides the handling fee, the rest will be yours, as interest for the Confucian's lack of promptness back then?"
When the golden egg heard this, it paused as if to check if Chen Yang and the others could still hear.
After a while, it said softly, "This... isn't it a bit inappropriate?"
"Those old Confucian fellows are quite troublesome!"
Rong Yuqing naturally knew what the golden egg was worried about. "Hehe, senior, don't worry, we at Tian Ji Ling Long will handle this perfectly, and it will never involve you!"
Meanwhile, Chen Yang finally realized.
He had found the necklace around Rong Yuqing's waist familiar.
Upon closer thought, wasn't it similar to his own Tree Mound Necklace?
The Tree Mound Necklace was a spatial treasure crafted from Zhou Zeyao's Tree Mound Part Two. Logically, there shouldn't be any other Tree Mound Necklaces in the world, as who would make such an unsightly necklace?
A possibility suddenly dawned on Chen Yang.
