Chapter 4793
“Tang Xiaoyi?”
Upon seeing the young man, the two women’s expressions shifted slightly.
“Hongyao, Lanyao, are you two blind? You’re giving up a massive reward just to sell your worthless talisman?”
Tang Xiaoyi waved his folding fan with disdain.
“Mr. Tang, what do you mean?” Hongyao asked.
“Don’t you recognize this person?” Tang Xiaoyi scoffed.
Hongyao and Lanyao exchanged glances before shaking their heads. They had never seen Kai before. Judging by his unfamiliar face and low cultivation realm, they assumed he needed a concealment talisman.
“No wonder,” Tang Xiaoyi sneered. “This man is Kai. The Huo family has placed a bounty of 200,000 immortal spirit stones on his head.”
“Two hundred thousand immortal spirit stones?”
Hongyao and Lanyao looked at each other, eyes filled with shock.
“Mr. Tang, you must be joking. How could a mere third-grade cultivator in the Mahayana realm be worth that much?”
Lan Yao asked in disbelief.
“Who has time for jokes? That’s what the Huo family said, and I don’t care what realm he’s in.”
He narrowed his eyes at the two sisters. “Now, get lost! If you keep testing my patience, my men might take an interest in you.”
“There’s no need for that, Mr. Tang. We’re leaving…”
Hongyao quickly grabbed her sister’s hand, forcing a smile.
But just as they turned to leave, dozens of glowing orbs suddenly shot from their hands!
The orbs exploded in a brilliant flash, triggering a series of deafening blasts.
Caught off guard, Tang Xiaoyi instinctively leaped back.
“Run! Do you want to die here?”
Hongyao pulled Kai to his feet and bolted.
At the same time, Lan Yao slapped a concealment talisman onto Kai, masking his presence to prevent pursuit.
“Damn it! After them!”
Tang Xiaoyi roared in fury, leading his men in pursuit.
Hongyao and Lanyao ran with Kai for half an hour until the concealment talisman’s effect faded. Only then did they stop, panting for breath.
Hongyao and Lanyao led Kai in a frantic escape, running for half an hour until the concealment talisman on their bodies lost its effect. Only then did they stop, panting heavily.
The two sisters quickly retrieved a few pills to restore their strength, while Kai watched them with a hint of surprise.
“Why did you save me?”
His voice carried a note of confusion.
“No particular reason…” Hongyao replied between deep breaths.
“We sisters are simply kind-hearted. Now, how do you plan to thank us?”
Lan Yao smirked.
“A kind heart?” Kai chuckled. “You call it kindness, yet you were just forcing people into buying and selling against their will.”
Lan Yao shot him a glare. “You should be grateful! At least we’re just forcing deals—there are plenty of people who’d rather kill you outright for that bounty.”
Kai let out a laugh. “Didn’t you save me just so you could claim the reward yourselves?”
Seeing through their act, he exposed them without hesitation.
Hongyao sighed. “Since you already figured it out, there’s no point in pretending. Honestly, I never expected a mere third-stage Mahayana cultivator like you to be worth 200,000 immortal spirit stones.”
“I can’t tell if the Huo family has lost their minds or if they just have too many spirit stones lying around.”
“But don’t worry, I’ll make it quick. You won’t suffer.”
She spoke as if offering him reassurance.
Kai looked at the twin sisters and couldn’t help but laugh.
Smart, but not very…
“What’s so funny? Aren’t you afraid of dying?”
Lan Yao asked suspiciously.
“I’m laughing at your lack of intelligence,” Kai said plainly.
“What?! How dare you mock us?”
Lan Yao immediately pointed her sword at him.
Kai remained unfazed. “Think for a moment. Do you really believe the Huo family is either too rich or too foolish? Why would they offer 200,000 immortal spirit stones just to kill a mere third-stage Mahayana cultivator?”
“If they truly wanted me dead, wouldn’t it be easier to just send an elder to deal with me? Why go through the trouble of issuing a bounty?”
His words made the sisters freeze, doubt creeping into their eyes.
