Chapter 113: The White Silver Secret Realm Agreement

He noticed that Xiao Shou’s attention was not on the Chen brothers at all, but rather on their younger sister, Chen Yufei.

She had not even begun cultivating, so why did this senior care so much about her?

He did not understand, but he did not dare to ask directly and risk offending a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Xiao Shou was slow to react to the Chen brothers because they were the elder brothers of a disciple he favored.

However, he remained alert toward Wang Weizhong and responded quickly.

While imagining the calm smile of an actor from a drama, he curled his lips slightly and said, "City Lord Xiahou is correct. Yufei is indeed likable. I find the child quite pleasing."

"No wonder Senior personally eliminated the culprit for her sake. The little girl is truly fortunate."

Now that Xiao Shou had spoken frankly, Wang Weizhong understood that he valued Chen Yufei more than the Chen brothers.

Yet the Chen brothers knew about the secret realm.

Was he truly not interested at all?

This senior’s behavior was beyond his expectations.

Still puzzled, Wang Weizhong looked at the Yu brothers and cautiously asked, "You two, your sister was rescued by Senior, while I did nothing. However, I am very interested in the reward you mentioned earlier and am willing to exchange my resources for it. Would you be willing?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingzhi immediately glanced at his brother.

"City Lord, please have your men send Yufei back to her room. Let us discuss this in the study," Chen Zhiyi said after a moment of thought, letting out a long breath.

Seeing that they had matters to discuss, Xiao Shou said, "You go ahead. I will return to my room to rest."

"Senior Xiao, please come along as well. What I am about to discuss may interest you."

Seeing Xiao Shou’s indifferent attitude, Chen Zhiyi knew that ordinary things would not move him.

He glanced around, then secretly transmitted his voice to Xiao Shou.

"It concerns an undeveloped secret realm, the White Silver Secret Realm."

White Silver Secret Realm!

Hearing this, Xiao Shou was startled.

Spirit sand came from the spirit insight divine beast.

Then the White Silver Secret Realm...

He suddenly recalled that in the original story, the Golden Crane Secret Realm where the protagonist and Jian Li had stayed for decades was formed from the remains of a fallen golden crane divine beast.

Over countless years, the remains had transformed into a secret realm.

Could it be that the White Silver Secret Realm was the same?

Had a Spirit Insight Divine Beast fallen here and leading to the existence of spirit sand?

Thinking of the spirit sand and Chen Zhiyi’s special eyes, Xiao Shou knew this was not baseless speculation.

But he was only at the Qi Refining stage.

Pretending to be a senior expert might fool others, but entering an undeveloped secret realm could cost him his life.

He wanted to refuse.

Yet, for some reason, images flashed through his mind.

Him fleeing in embarrassment before Yu Lin.

Him struggling desperately to survive in front of Jian Li and Zhong Kui.

The words of refusal caught in his throat.

After blinking and taking a deep breath, he said, "Alright."

"Cough, cough!"

Hearing his agreement, Chen Zhiyi relaxed.

The moment he let his guard down, the strain from forcibly using spiritual energy to transmit his voice took effect, and he began coughing repeatedly.

Chen Qingzhi could only watch helplessly from the side.

The four of them, Chen Zhiyi, Chen Qingzhi, Wang Weizhong, and Xiao Shou, entered the study.

The Chen brothers glanced at the guards standing outside the door.

Chen Qingzhi then spoke, "Senior Xiao, please set up a barrier. What we discuss today must not leak in the slightest. If word gets out, none of us will survive."

"A Tier 4 barrier. Only cultivators at the late Nascent Soul stage or above can detect its presence or sense what we are saying."

Understanding the importance of an undeveloped secret realm, Xiao Shou nodded.

With a wave of his hand, he took out a Tier 4 array disk and activated it, enveloping the entire study within its barrier.

Seeing the light of a Tier 4 formation with his own eyes, Chen Zhiyi let out a breath of relief.

Then, with a solemn expression, he said, "Senior Xiao, City Lord Xiahou, please forgive my rudeness. I must be cautious before being courteous. Before I explain everything, I ask that both of you make a heart demon oath that today’s matters will never be revealed, and that once inside the secret realm, the four of us will not fight or harm each other. Of course, I will also take the oath."

"Brother, I will go first."

The Chen brothers understood each other well.

Guessing Chen Zhiyi’s intention, Chen Qingzhi stepped forward first to gain the trust of Xiahou Bo and Xiao Shou.

"Heavenly Dao above, I, Chen Qingzhi, swear today that I will never reveal what is discussed here, nor will I use any means or schemes to harm Senior Xiao or City Lord Xiahou within the secret realm. If I break this oath, may heart demons plague me and my cultivation never advance."

Xiao Shou cultivated a technique that was not afraid of heart demons.

This oath held no real restriction over him.

Whether there was a trap or not did not matter.

He was not skilled in scheming anyway. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Besides, after watching so many dramas, movies, and novels, he knew that whether someone intended harm could never be restrained by an oath alone.

Those who wished to harm others would always find a way.

Thus, after Chen Qingzhi finished, Xiao Shou spoke without hesitation.

"Heavenly Dao above, I, Xiao Shou, swear that I will never reveal what is discussed today, nor will I use any means or schemes to harm City Lord Xiahou Bo, Chen Zhiyi, or Chen Qingzhi within the secret realm. If I break this oath, may heart demons plague me and my cultivation never advance."
