Su Chen did this because he had no other choice; Du Hanbing had only a few days left, and he had to obtain the Mysterious Ice Flower to save her.
He owed her too much, and this time he had to save her no matter what!
"Are you really here to steal the Mysterious Ice Flower to save your friend?"
Ling Yao asked, although by now she already believed Su Chen's words.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have done what he did before.
Su Chen solemnly nodded, looking at Ling Yao with a face full of hope.
Ling Yao, for some reason, couldn't stand the look in his eyes, which was uncharacteristic for her usual cold self.
Ling Yao said and started walking out of the hall, with Su Chen following her in confusion.
What does she mean by this?
Is she agreeing to give him the Mysterious Ice Flower, or does she have other plans?
The two quickly arrived at the door of her boudoir on the third floor, and Ling Yao opened the door and went in.
Ling Yao said coldly, then continued walking inside while Su Chen had no choice but to wait where he was.
After a while, Ling Yao came out with two rectangular boxes in her hands.
Seeing the boxes, Su Chen's pupils couldn't help but shrink!
Is she really going to give him the Mysterious Ice Flower and the Ghost Beard Grass as well?
His guess was confirmed in the next moment when Ling Yao walked over and handed him the two boxes:
"Take these and save her quickly!"
"Miss Ling, you are...?"
Su Chen asked in astonishment, looking at Ling Yao.
To be honest, he had hoped Ling Yao would give him the Mysterious Ice Flower because of that event, but he wasn't very confident.
The reason was, of course, that the Mysterious Ice Flower was too precious, worth more than a life at a critical moment!
Such a treasure was priceless!
But now, this young lady of the Lingyue Palace actually took it out and even gave him the Ghost Beard Grass!
It was unbelievable to him.
"Isn't this what you came here for? Why are you hesitating?"
Ling Yao placed the two boxes in his hand and said irritably:
Su Chen didn't act courteous anymore, putting away the two boxes and then sincerely said:
"I won't say thanks for this great favor. If you ever need help, you can find me at the Belle Group in Yandu."
After saying that, he bowed to Ling Yao, which made her feel a bit embarrassed.
He then stood up and turned to leave, as he needed to hurry back to save Du Hanbing!
Although logically there were still a few days left, getting back early definitely increased the chances!
Besides, it was still uncertain if the Mysterious Ice Flower would work!
Ling Yao went to a window, watching his figure walking toward the gate, feeling uncertain inside!
She wasn't sure why she gave him the Mysterious Ice Flower and the Ghost Beard Grass. Was it to thank him for what he did earlier?
What's the use of thinking about all this? They probably won't see each other again.
Ling Yao shook her head and returned to her bedroom...
At the same time, in an ancient building, only a few lamps were lit in a room, illuminating only part of it, while other areas were dim and shadowy.
Suddenly, someone walked in from outside and bowed:
"Sect Leader, the mission failed. Those who went to seize the Token were all killed by that young man!"
There was no response after the words fell.
After a while, a shadow at the end of the room turned around, but his appearance could not be seen.
"I didn't expect that bastard to have such skills!"
A hellish voice came from that shadow, sending chills down one's spine!
"Send more people, I want to see how capable that bastard is."
An eerie voice came from the shadow again:
"If they fail, they needn't return."
The person who had just entered answered coldly and retreated.
"The Token must be on that bastard. We haven't found him all these years, and now he shows up himself!"
The man in the shadow muttered softly:
"Little sister, don't blame me. Blame yourself for choosing the wrong person and betraying my trust!"
Su Chen let out a long breath after leaving the Lingyue Palace. Although this trip was dangerous, he managed to get the Mysterious Ice Flower.
Not only that, he also unexpectedly gained the Ghost Beard Grass, which gave hope for Pei Man's leg!
He didn't dare to delay and hurried back immediately.
He quickly crossed the forest, which was about twenty to thirty kilometers long, and arrived at the log bridge.
At this moment, he suddenly felt something unusual in the forest on the opposite side; to be precise, a few leaves were swaying unnaturally.
Another person might not notice this and might think it was the wind.
But having undertaken numerous missions in the jungle in both the Eighth Brigade and the Dark World, Su Chen didn't think so. There was a difference between the wind and human-caused motion.
Su Chen quickly understood that it must be the two people from Shengyi Gate, unwilling to leave, planning to ambush him!
Su Chen immediately stopped advancing. The Young Master of Shengyi Gate wasn't a concern, but that Elder was formidable. Although they hadn't fought, his one palm strike had shown he was definitely more powerful!
At this moment, the best choice for Su Chen was to avoid fighting, as he was carrying the life-saving Mysterious Ice Flower!
But would the Elder let him go? Clearly not!
Su Chen slowly walked onto the log bridge, appearing as though nothing was out of the ordinary, while keeping his eye on a certain direction.
As the leaves shook violently, Su Chen had already gathered his True Yuan and flashed towards the end of the bridge!
The Chen Elder hiding in the grass was surprised; as he stood up, Su Chen had already sped up, rushing to the bridge side!
He had planned to quietly stand up and cut the bridge chain before Su Chen could react!
After all, the gorge was over ten meters deep, with sharp rocks and a turbulent stream below. Falling would cause injuries.
And Fei Family's men were hiding at the bottom, ready to strike, leaving no chance for him!
Then he would descend, and Su Chen would be doomed!
