Seven Deadly Sins System

"Did you come here for the treasure too?", Yuan Zhuo suddenly asked, his tone polite, while his right hand put his sword back on its sheath.

In response to his question, Chu Wuyao didn't deny it and nodded her head.

In fact, there was no reason to lie.

During their brief confrontation, the two of them had already judged each other's strength.

Even though neither of them used their full power, Chu Wuyao understood that the two of them had roughly the same combat power.

She could always use the Blood Flag to gain an advantage, but she guessed that just like her, Yuan Zhuo, as one of the strongest outer disciples of the Original Desire Sect, should also have a few trump cards.

Seeing her nod in agreement, Yuan Zhuo wasn't surprised.

If anything, he would find it strange if someone with Chu Wuyao's strength just happened to pass by this location that may contain a treasure.

With a thought of his mind, Yuan Zhuo didn't hesitate and took a yellow parchment out of his space ring, before showing it to Chu Wuyao.

"You too?"

Chu Wuyao looked at the yellow parchment and also took a similar parchment.

Instantly, it became very obvious that both of their maps were exactly the same, as if they were copies of each other.

This made Chu Wuyao quite speechless, wondering if this whole thing was actually a scam.

"I've already investigated the area around this place, but I haven't found anything of value."

Yuan Zhuo didn't know about Chu Wuyao's inner thoughts, but he spoke up, explaining the situation with a smile on his face.

His tone was very friendly and his actions and manners were polite, making him look like a gentleman.

Chu Wuyao heard his words and understood that he was suggesting that the two of them should cooperate.

She neither agreed nor disagreed, waiting to find the true location of the treasure first.

If the treasure was just a worthless inheritance, there would be no issue with sharing it with Yuan Zhuo.

On the other hand, if the treasure was some powerful technique or a magic weapon, any agreement they currently reached would end up being a joke.

Chu Wuyao understood this and Yuan Zhuo understood this as well, so he didn't mind her silence.

In fact, just like Chu Wuyao, Yuan Zhuo was also lucky enough to get this map after killing an outer disciple.

With some curiosity, he came here just in case, just for fun.

He didn't have any actual expectation for the so-called treasure, knowing that most likely, it was just a few items left by a Qi Accumulation disciple.

"Let's see what this junior brother was previous searching for."

"I have a hunch that he might know more about the treasure than the two of us.", Yuan Zhuo suggested and motioned towards the black-haired man that still was standing below.

Nodding her head, Chu Wuyao stepped on the ground and jumped off the hill, landing right next to the young man.

The moment she landed, she found that Yuan Zhuo had appeared right next to her, as if he had teleported.

She wasn't surprised by this, knowing that his speed was actually faintly faster than hers.

Yuan Zhuo didn't say anything, but his eyes fell on the young man that was shivering and revealed a strange look.

Or to be more accurate, he was looking at the black cat that had tied the young man up.

On the side, Chu Wuyao didn't care about what Yuan Zhuo was thinking and she waved her hand, motioning Cthulhu to let the young man go.

"Meow!", Cthulhu opened its mouth and let out a meow as if it was agreeing, then jumped on Chu Wuyao's right shoulder.

Its golden eyes were filled with admiration as it looked at its master.

Ignoring the cat's weird antics, Chu Wuyao turned her focus to the young man that stood in front of her.

For some reason, she always felt that he was slightly familiar, as if she had seen him before.

Curiously, she went through her memories, trying to find whether the two of them had interacted in the past.

It didn't take long for her to actually remember and her expression to become a little subtle.

Chu Wuyao recalled that she had taken up a mission to kill monsters in the Warring Beasts Forest and when she returned to the sect, she happened to witness a young man getting violently beaten by a bunch of disciples for trying to court senior sister Yue.

Immediately, the figure of that young man overlapped with the figure of the man in front of her.

The young man was completely clueless of his previous "interaction" with Chu Wuyao.

At this time, he had just noticed that the tail that was tying him up had disappeared, but he still couldn't be happy.

Staring at the two people that stood in front of him and could kill him with a wave of their hands, he panicked.

"Se-senior sister, senior brother, is there something I can help you with?", he mustered up his courage and spoke up, while his eyes wandered around, trying to find any way to escape.

But no matter how much he looked, he found that he could do nothing to escape his current predicament.

"Plop!"

Chu Wuyao originally thought that she would have to spend some time to interrogate him and get some information out of him, but when she was about to speak, the young man hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"Senior sister, senior brother, are you here for the inheritance?", he lowered his head to show respect and asked.

The man didn't give them any chance to respond.

His right hand reached into his pocket and he took out a white ball, then presented it to Chu Wuyao and Yuan Zhuo.

"Here, here. I've been safekeeping the key of the inheritance and have been looking to find its rightful owner."

"Now that I've seen you, I realize that only talented people like the two of you deserve to get this inheritance!"

The man spoke with a flattering smile and his eyes became a little blurry as he spoke, as if he was ready to shed tears of gratitude.

Seeing his actions and hearing his words, Chu Wuyao was shocked.

It took some time for her to recover and when she did, she couldn't help but sigh in emotion.

"I didn't expect that even a useless person like you would be able to recognize my excellence."

"Sure enough, no matter how much I try to hide it, there is no way that I can keep my supreme qualifications hidden."

While speaking, one of her hands reached out and picked up the white ball, while the other one patted the young man lightly on the shoulder.

Holding the white ball, Chu Wuyao lowered her head and looked at it curiously.

It was an orb, seemingly made out of glass and filled with a strange white liquid.

It was slightly cold to the touch, but apart from its low temperature, she could find nothing special about it.

Just when she was about to investigate further, Chu Wuyao felt a faint movement coming from her pocket.
