Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 433: Bounty

"The Xuanwu secret realm will open in a few thousand years." Shen Xu started and quickly continued.

"You have the blood of a divine beast and should be able to grasp a star of immortality regardless of whether you awaken your bloodline. However, having the blood and being divine beasts are two completely different things."

After saying that, Shen Xu looked at the three with solemn eyes and didn’t continue until he was sure they were paying attention.

"The way of heaven favours divine beasts, so you should do your best to awaken your bloodline. Only in this way will you be able to grasp a rich, immortal fate. Do you understand?" He asked, and the three nodded but still looked confused.

"Senior...., can we also go to the Xuanwu secret realm?" Xuanyuan Yue asked with a pained expression.

She and her siblings were self-aware.

They knew they were no longer the high and mighty young sect masters of the Tianxuan sect or grandchildren of the Supreme elder.

Things like secret realm tokens and extravagant lifestyles had nothing to do with them!

Now, they were satisfied with having enough to eat and a safe place to live.

However, Shen Xu wouldn’t let them become idle and unambitious.

After seeing their defeated attitude, he sneered and glared at them.

"Have you forgotten what I told you?" He asked but didn’t wait for their answer before continuing.

"You will have what others have. All you have to do is recover and prepare to enter the Xuanwu secret realm."

The triplets were surprised to hear this.

However, they soon regained their composure and nodded in understanding.

"We will work hard." They said, but Xuanyuan Xing suddenly frowned.

"Senior Shen, what about our mother? Is she doing okay?" He asked, and the other two also looked at Shen Xu with expectant eyes.

"Feng Xue is fine." The double said and continued.

"She will leave seclusion in a thousand or so years if nothing goes wrong."

"Will Mother make it in time for the Xuanwu secret realm?" Xuanyuan Yang asked in a worried voice.

"Don’t worry. She will make it." Shen Xu assured, and the triplets were visibly relieved.

After that, the group talked while having tea, and it was not until an hour later that Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan stood to leave.

However, when the two were about to leave the courtyard, Shen Xu remembered something and turned around.

"We got the demon core of a zodiac golden rooster a while back, and Ayuan used it to arrange a time formation on this mountain."He started and quickly continued.

"What I mean to say is that one day outside is two days on the mountain. Don’t waste this time advantage." He reminded and left without waiting for the triplets’ reaction.

Time passed, and before they knew it, it was the first day of the month.

As usual, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan exited the space to restock the shop, receive spirit stones, deliver orders, and accept new orders.

This routine had been practised so many times that the two had almost perfected it to an art.

However, this time was different.

After accepting new orders, the two didn’t immediately return to the space.

Instead, they stayed in the back room, listening to reports from the puppets they had secretly released to monitor their interests.

"Dongfang Jing and Chen Yi have retreated?" Shen Xu asked, and a puppet nodded before speaking.

"They rented a high-level cave and went into seclusion half a month ago." The puppet said, and Shen Xu nodded.

"The sect’s cultivation caves are pretty good. With the treasures they have and the cave, they will be able to advance easily." The double said, and Zhen Yuan agreed.

"The caves are safe. They won’t be disturbed even if the Dongfang family discovers their whereabouts." He said.

"What about Mo Ling?" Shen Xu asked, turning to another puppet.

"He has been in seclusion since he left the shop five months ago." The puppet said, and Shen Xu nodded in approval.

Finally, the double asked about the Xuanyuan siblings.

"Xuanyuan Ze has secluded himself to study inscriptions." A puppet said, and Shen Xu subconsciously tilted his head.

He didn’t expect Xuanyuan Ze to be the kind of person who immediately stood after suffering a devastating loss.

However, the man’s character had nothing to do with him.

As long as Xuanyuan Ze didn’t bother them in the future, Shen Xu wouldn’t go out of his way to find him.

"What about Xuanyuan Yan?" Zhen Yuan asked.

"She has issued a bounty for the Xuanyuan triplets." A puppet revealed, shocking Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan.

"A bounty? A dead or alive bounty? What is she planning to do?" Shen Xu asked in an angry voice.

"Master, it’s not that kind of bounty. The bounty is for information and the safe return of the triplets." The puppet said and soon continued.

"Information about the triplets’ whereabouts will attract a reward of no less than one million spirit stones."

"Additionally, returning the triplets will earn a reward of one hundred million spirit stones for each."

Shen Xu sneered when he heard this.

However, after calming down, he realised he should have expected this kind of outcome.

"We need to cover our tracks." Zhen Yuan stated, and Shen Xu turned to look at the man.

"Haven’t we already covered them?" He asked, and Zhen Yuan shook his head.

"Not all of them." He said and began explaining.

"Spirit stones are an attractive incentive. It’s highly probable that uniquely talented cultivators will take the task. Our previous countermeasures may not be enough." He said, but Shen Xu was doubtful.

"I don’t think they can find the Chaos Flame Space, no matter how talented they are." He said, and Zhen Yuan nodded.

"They may not be able to find the space, but they may be able to find us." He said, and Shen Xu couldn’t help but be surprised.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"Earth memory inscription." Zhen Yuan said, and Shen Xu raised an eyebrow.

He had never heard of the Earth memory inscription, whether in the original book or in real life.

"What is it?" He asked.

"It’s an inscription that can extract the earth’s memory and record it in an image stone."

Shen Xu was shocked when he heard this.

At the same time, his mind connected the dots, and he realised what Zhen Yuan was worried about.

"You are worried that someone will go to the ninety-seventh mountain and extract the earth’s memory?" He asked, and Zhen Yuan nodded before explaining.

"The earth memory inscription is obscure, but who knows..., maybe the reward will attract some hidden masters." He said, and the double couldn’t argue.

Although the Tianxuan continent’s inscription inheritance was incomplete, there was no telling what others knew.

Thinking of this, Shen Xu frowned and couldn’t help but feel a little anxious.

"Is there a way to deal with this?" He asked.

"Forgetting inscription." Zhen Yuan said and quickly continued.

"It’s an inscription that forcibly erases the earth’s memory."

"Is it difficult to etch?" Shen Xu asked.

"Fortunately, the memories we want to erase are only a little more than a year old. It will only take one inscription to erase them, so it’s not difficult."

The double was relieved when he heard this.

"We should go as soon as possible." He said, and Zhen Yuan nodded.

After all, the bounty had already been hanging for ten days, and it was only a matter of time before someone discovered some clues.

"I didn’t expect we did everything right, but still left clues for others to find." Shen Xu said and sighed with a complicated expression.

"It can’t be helped." Zhen Yuan said.

After all, the world was a big place and had countless talented people.

Knowing that, all they could do was cover as much of their tracks as they could and work hard to advance before the enemy caught their tail.

"I suddenly want to retreat." Shen Xu said, and Zhen Yuan chuckled.

"We will go to the thunder secret realm in six months." He said, and the double nodded.

After that, the two left the backroom, preparing to sneak to the ninety-seventh mountain.

However, just after entering the front shop, they encountered Luo Jianfeng.

"Elder Luo." Shen Xu greeted with a happy smile.

They hadn’t seen Luo Jianfeng since the challenges.

Now that the man had reappeared, Shen Xu was naturally happy to see him.

"Where are you going in such a hurry?" The swordsman asked, and Shen Xu was momentarily at a loss, but he soon regained his composure.

"Ayuan and I were planning to go shopping." He said, and Luo Jianfeng nodded.

"The Myriad has brought in a new batch of goods. You can see if there is anything you want." He said, and Shen Xu nodded.

’It’s not a bad idea to visit the Myriad Treasures Pavilion now and then.’ He thought and turned to Luo Jianfeng.

"Senior, I brewed a good wine for you." He said and removed a gourd from his storage ring.

After the challenges, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan wanted to thank Luo Jianfeng. Unfortunately, they didn’t get the chance to do so until now.
