Watching the figures of Lü Yangyan and his sister depart, Cha Wenliang chuckled softly.
"It seems this pair of siblings is quite wary of us!"
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady nodded, "It’s only natural, after all, they are not familiar with us. They came here because of their connection to Xue An, so it’s not surprising that they’d be on guard."
At this point, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady paused, then with a hint of confusion said,
"But I noticed that girl’s eyes were clouded, and there was an indistinct dark aura entangled within her sea of consciousness, indicating she is heavily ill. Logically, such symptoms should have surfaced long ago. Why then is she still moving about like an ordinary person?"
Cha Wenliang also nodded, "Yes, I find it puzzling too. Perhaps there are some methods unknown to us that are suppressing it!"
In fact, the moment Cha Wenliang first set eyes on Lü Xiaoya, he noticed her severe illness, which made him somewhat curious.
But it was their first meeting, so it wasn’t appropriate to ask questions, hence he remained silent.
Unexpectedly, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady had also noticed it already.
At this moment, Xiao Gourd suddenly spoke up: "The beads I just ate, they have many more on them!"
"Hmm?"
With these words, everyone turned their heads to look.
Cha Wenliang especially turned towards Xiao Gourd.
"How did you figure that out?"
Xiao Gourd pointed to its nose, seeming to have drool appear at the corner of its mouth, "For delicious things like these, I can smell their scent from afar!"
Cha Wenliang and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady exchanged a startled look.
If what Xiao Gourd said is true, then it would explain why these siblings are so cautious.
After all, a large number of Treasure Beads anywhere would be considered a notable fortune.
"I know the True Martial Sect of the Daoist Family; their power isn’t particularly great. Logically, their disciples couldn’t possess such a staggering fortune!" Cha Wenliang murmured.
"I don’t think they come from Fu Niu Mountain, especially considering that the girl is severely ill and shows no True Martial Essence. If they were truly from Fu Niu Mountain, would the True Martial Sect just leave her be?" the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady analyzed.
Cha Wenliang’s expression turned stern, "Could it be... these siblings are of pirate origin?"
But as soon as he spoke, he realized the idea seemed absurd.
Since they were acquaintances of Xue An, how could they be Starry Pirates?
Moreover, it was clear these siblings were grateful and honorable people, unlikely to engage in robbery.
Earlier, Lü Yangyan hadn’t disclosed his identity as the City Lord of Bead City, leading Cha Wenliang and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady to be uncertain in their speculations.
However, since this wasn’t the main issue, after a brief chat, the two went their separate ways.
But after they left, Xiao Gourd took a deep breath, then spat out a glowing orb from its mouth.
Within the orb was the armor that Xue An had entrusted to it for repair.
During this period, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady and Cha Wenliang had scoured the Pharmacists’ Alliance’s market but found only a few alchemy vessels that were suitable for it, slowing the repair process considerably.
Yet at this moment, the severely damaged armor exhibited a faint light at the gaps and showed slight signs of repair.
Xiao Gourd, as if expecting this scene, chuckled and swallowed the orb back before turning and disappearing.
