They both realized that these two Dragon City Talismans were probably a gift from someone. Otherwise, they would not have appeared here out of the blue.

But who were they from? These were legendary Dragon City Talismans. One of them was enough to make the entire martial arts circle fight and kill for it. Whoever the person was, they were extremely generous to have given two talismans as a gift. Moreover, the person had presented the talismans to small fry like Wan’er and w.a.n.g Qian.

No matter how they thought about it, they felt that the entire thing was too strange.

“Should we… report this matter to the seniors in the sect?” Wan’er asked anxiously. She did not know whether this gift was a good or bad thing. After all, the appearance of two Dragon City Talismans was a very odd thing to happen. What if it was a trap?

“Wan’er, don’t tell anyone about this. If you do, we will invite trouble upon ourselves. Besides, once the sect knows that we have two Dragon City Talismans, they will surely find a way to take them from us,” w.a.n.g Qian said with a serious expression.

w.a.n.g Qian was well aware of the importance of the Dragon City Talisman. If others knew about them, they would surely not be able to keep the talismans.

“Wan’er, we can’t let others know about this. As you know, we were ambushed by the Baili Sect precisely because of the Dragon City Talisman. If anyone found out that we have two Dragon City Talismans, they would surely do anything to get them. Besides, didn’t you always want to go to Dragon City? The opportunity has come.”

w.a.n.g Qian held onto the Dragon City Talisman tightly. With these Dragon City Talismans, she could enter Dragon City and see the legendary Martial Arts Circle Convention for herself.

“But what happens if we don’t tell the elders and something bad happens? We can’t keep what we found by chance. After all, it is a little illogical to expect something like this for free. Besides, did you forget? We are both just small fry. If we do not have support from the sect, we can’t even leave the Taihang Mountains, let alone go to Dragon City.”

Wan’er stared at the Dragon City Talisman in her hands. She kept feeling that this was a hot potato. Their position in the sect was too low. Even though they had the Dragon City Talismans, they might not necessarily be able to go Dragon City.

w.a.n.g Qian was slightly stunned. She realized this problem too. With their ability, it was impossible for them to go to Dragon City. “Then, what should we do?”

“We can’t hide this. If we do and anything happens, it will be bad for us. Besides, there are still people whom we can trust in the sect. I can sense that Sect Grand Elder Yun Pengqing and Sect Grand Elder w.a.n.g He are not bad people. If we tell them about this, perhaps we can come up with a solution,” Wan’er said after thinking for a moment.

……..

“Yixuan, why did you want to see me?” w.a.n.g He asked, looking at Mei Yixuan.

“Sect Grand Elder, I’m not the one who wants to see you. It’s Wan’er who needs to.” Mei Yixuan smiled helplessly. Wan’er had insisted on meeting the sect grand elder, but she wouldn’t say why she wanted to meet him.

“Huh? Wan’er? Okay, bring her here.” w.a.n.g He nodded as he listened to Mei Yixuan.

“Su Wan’er greets the Sect Grand Elder.” Wan’er walked into the attic and bowed slightly.

“Why do you want to see me?” w.a.n.g He asked.

“I have an important matter to report to the Sect Grand Elder.”

…..

“What? You have two Dragon City Talismans with you?”

w.a.n.g He, who had been sitting down and sipping tea, suddenly stood up. His piercing gaze was fixed on Wan’er like a sharp sword.

Wan’er was shocked, but she bit the bullet and continued speaking, “The Dragon City Talismans appeared in my room suddenly. It seems as though they are for me and Sister w.a.n.g Qian.”

Mei Yixuan stared at Wan’er, stunned. To her surprise, her disciple actually had two Dragon City Talismans with her. She had almost been killed because of a Dragon City Talisman. Such an item was considered a priceless treasure for any sect.

The reason why the Five Tigers Sect sect leader could break through to the pinnacle of the Embryonic Breathing Realm was not because he was talented, but rather because he had experienced a peculiar encounter during the last Martial Arts Circle Convention. After he came back, his cultivation had skyrocketed. Many elders in the martial arts circle could break through to the Golden Elixir Realm because their experiences in Dragon City had caused their cultivation to improve.

That was another reason why Dragon City was so attractive.

“Wan’er, tell me everything from the beginning,” w.a.n.g He said with a serious expression. This was no ordinary matter. In fact, it was rather peculiar. He even supected that the appearance of the Dragon City Talismans in Wan’er’s room was a trap set up by another sect.

Fifteen minutes later, the upper echelons of the Five Tigers Sect had an emergency meeting.

There were only five people at the meeting: the Five Tigers Sect sect leader and four sect grand elders, who were the most powerful people in the sect.

“How these Dragon City Talismans came about is suspicious. Besides, w.a.n.g He has checked and confirmed that the two Dragon City Talismans are real,” Yun Pengqing said slowly after giving everyone a glance.

There five people in the conference hall were Xie Rengui, the Five Tigers Sect sect leader, and Yun Pengqing, w.a.n.g He, Liu Hua, and Jia Bian, the four sect grand elders.

The Dragon City Talisman was an important treasure. That meant that the appearance of two talismans in a low-ranking disciple’s room caused the sect leader and the sect grand elders to be suspicious.

“Sect Leader, since the Dragon City Talismans appeared in our Five Tigers Sect, they belong to our sect. Having two extra Dragon City Talismans appear out of the blue is definitely a good thing,” Sect Grand Elder Liu Hua said.

No matter what, the two Dragon City Talismans were in the hands of their Five Tigers Sect now.

“Elder w.a.n.g He, may I know where the Dragon City Talismans are now?” Liu Hua turned and looked at w.a.n.g He.

“Naturally, they are with Wan’er and w.a.n.g Qian, ” w.a.n.g He said calmly.

“Elder w.a.n.g He, how can you be so careless? How can the Dragon City Talismans be left in the hands of two low-ranking disciples? It is so dangerous. What happens if someone s.n.a.t.c.hes them away? I will go and retrieve the talismans now.”

As he spoke, Sect Grand Elder Liu Hua prepared to leave the room. However, w.a.n.g He extended his hand and blocked Liu Hua.

“Elder w.a.n.g He, what is the meaning of this?” Liu Hua asked with a frown.

“Elder Liu Hua, you are mistaken. The Dragon City Talismans belong to Wan’er and w.a.n.g Qian. You can’t just take them as you wish,” w.a.n.g He said plainly. Even though the Dragon City Talismans were precious, there were certain principles to be followed. Since Wan’er had chosen to tell him about it, it meant that she trusted him. So, he did not take the Dragon City Talismans away from them.

“The two of them are disciples of the Five Tigers Sect. Their belongings are naturally the sect’s belongings. What’s wrong with me taking the talismans from them? Moreover, what qualifications do the two low-ranking disciples have to possess the Dragon City Talismans? Elder w.a.n.g He, are you going mad? You know better than me how important a Dragon City Talisman is,” Liu Hua said with an ugly expression. Could it be that w.a.n.g He really planned to give the Dragon City Talismans to the two low-ranking disciples?

“Elder Liu Hua, is it appropriate for a sect grand elder to openly steal the possessions of an Inner-Sect disciple?” w.a.n.g He asked. Even though Liu Hua tried to justify his point with a long speech, his intention was obvious.

“What do you mean by stealing a disciple’s belongings? w.a.n.g He, watch what you say. Could it be that you really think that the two low-ranking disciples are qualified to keep the Dragon City Talismans safe?” Liu Hua said, a look of fury on his face.

“They belong to them. Whether they are qualified to keep their belongings safe or not does not concern you. Besides, even if they ask the sect to safeguard the talismans for them, it is not your place to get involved,” w.a.n.g He coldly snorted.

“You…” Liu Hua pointed at w.a.n.g He. He was so enraged that he could barely speak. Was w.a.n.g He intending to get into a dispute with him?

“That’s enough. Stop fighting. n.o.body touches the Dragon City Talismans. Since they appeared in the room of that disciple, it means that she is fated to have the talismans. They belong to her,” the Five Tigers Sect sect leader, Xie Rengui, who had been silent up until now, said calmly.

“Sect Leader…” Liu Hua still wanted to say something.

“This matter does not need to be discussed further. All of you can leave now. I have decided to take the two disciples along to Dragon City,” Xie Rengui announced plainly.

“Sect Leader, how can you waste such important places in our quota and let the two of them go to Dragon City? Aside from being onlookers, they are completely useless. This is a total waste of an opportunity!” Liu Hua said begrudgingly.

The Five Tigers Sect only had five Dragon City Talismans. It meant that only five of them could go to the Dragon City. However, Liu Hua was not included in the five.

This was also why he was so excited at the prospect of getting his hands on the two Dragon City Talismans. If there were two extra Dragon City Talismans, surely he could get one.

“Liu Hua, you have lived for so long, yet you still don’t understand anything! You are worse than an outer-sect disciple. Do you really think that the two Dragon City Talismans can be so easily s.n.a.t.c.hed? Most likely the two disciples thought things through when they chose to report this matter to us. Unfortunately, as a dignified sect grand elder, you have actually not thought of anything.”

Xie Rengui shook his head. Even though he had not taken the two Dragon City Talismans, he was not a righteous man. In fact, he also thought that letting the two low-ranking disciples use the Dragon City Talismans was a total waste. It was no different from throwing them away.

However, Xie Rengui was well-aware that they could not do as they wished regarding this matter. There must be a reason behind this peculiar occurrence, and there had been quite a few extraordinary incidents lately.

Liu Hua was reprimanded by the sect leader in public as someone who was worse than an outer-sect disciple. He was so infuriated that he waved his sleeves and turned around and left the hall. His eyes were filled with gloominess.

“Pengqing, you are in charge of discreetly protecting the two girls. The situation has been chaotic recently. Besides, the Dragon City Talismans are so attractive. If n.o.body protests them, something is likely to happen. Moreover, Liu Hua is…”

Xie Rengui suddenly stopped mid-sentence. However, a glint of light flashed in w.a.n.g He’s and Yun Pengqing’s eyes at the same time.

Jia Bian and w.a.n.g He excused themselves. Only Xie Rengui and Yun Pengqing remained in the room.

“Sect Leader, do you suspect that this incident is related to what happened the other day?” Yun Pengqing asked after waiting for everyone else to leave.

“You are surely the person who knows me the best.” Xie Rengui smiled “I can’t say for sure that they are related. But it is possible, and the probability is high. Otherwise, it is illogical.”

Since they had been ambushed by the Baili Sect, the upper echelons of the Five Tigers Sect had been trying to guess the ident.i.ty of the mysterious black shadow. They discussed why the mysterious man would help their Five Tigers Sect, but in the end they concluded nothing.

If the mysterious man was related to the Five Tigers Sect, Xie Rengui, as the sect leader, would know about it.

“Perhaps, the reason the person saved you was not because of the Five Tigers Sect. Instead, it was because of someone else. Don’t you think that things are becoming clearer now we have connected the incident of the Dragon City Talismans with you getting ambushed?” A strange light flashed in Xie Rengui’s eyes.

“Actually, I think so too.” Yun Pengqing nodded with a serious expression.
