The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

Chapter 48 - Discussing Plans

For someone as stingy as her, mentioning that there was money to be made was good bait. This girl's eyes seemed to have turned into spirit stones.

After a pause, Ye Anping said, "In short, I will send you to the Seven Slayers Sect headquarters. After you get in, go to their Master's bedroom and take the spirit stones from his storage bag. I don't know how many there are, but there should be quite a few."

"... ?"

Feng Yu Die had six dots floating over her head as she looked at him speechlessly, thinking he was joking.

However, Ye Anping didn't look like he was joking at all.

After the two stared at each other for a while, Feng Yu Die couldn't help but ask, "Are you serious?"

"Of course I'm serious."

"... What is the cultivation level of that Seven Slayers Sect Master?"

"Core Formation late-stage."

"So, are you asking me to infiltrate the home of a late-stage Core Formation cultivator, steal his storage bag, and then escape?"

"Mm-hmm."

Feng Yu Die smiled, drank the tea in one gulp, stood up and cupped her fists, then turned around, ready to leave.

"This girl has no intention of dying a martyr yet, so I'll take my leave now!"

She had just opened the latch, but Ye Anping closed it again with a flick of his finger.

Feng Yu Die turned her head. "What are you doing?"

Ye Anping sighed, took out a huge map from the storage bag, and spread it on the table. "This is the map of the Fort of Secrets, the headquarters of the Seven Slayers Sect. The traps that pose a threat have been marked for you, and as long as you follow this route, I guarantee you can enter without any hindrance."

Feng Yu Die hesitated, then stepped forward and looked closely at the map.

Three dodecagonal areas were drawn on the map, each divided into small regions, with their purpose noted.

And as Ye Anping said, not only were there many triangle symbols marked on it but there were also notes written beside each triangle, for example: 'There are four traps with fire-breathing beasts in the form of lizards. They fear lightning spells and can be destroyed with thunder magic talismans.'

Feng Yu Die looked at it, unable to utter a word for a while.

Xiao Tian was also shocked.

She hastily took out her own Heavenly Dao Scroll, searched through it, and finally found the Fort of Secrets map, but compared with Ye Anping's map, he found some differences.

"It's different from the one in the Heavenly Dao Scroll..."

Hearing Xiao Tian's murmur, Feng Yu Die found an excuse to question. "I've seen that before... the Fort of Secrets map here is different from the one I've seen."

Ye Anping glanced at Xiao Tian and sighed, saying, "The map you saw should be the Fort of Secrets from before, while the map I have is from now."

"... How do you know?"

Ye Anping shrugged and explained, "The Fort of Secrets was a ruin left behind by ancient cultivators, which had existed for ten thousand years and was buried underground in a landslide. More than a thousand years ago, when it was discovered by the founder of the Seven Slayers Sect, he broke its defense and claimed it for himself, and then the Seven Slayers came into being."

Hearing this, Xiao Tian quickly flipped through the pages looking for information on the Seven Slayers and found that what Ye Anping said was almost word for word identical to the paragraphs recorded in the Heavenly Dao Scroll.

And this was not the first time!

It was the same with Miss Pei's answers to the written test!

Xiao Tian now wondered if Ye Anping also had a Heavenly Dao Scroll.

But not to mention that she had never even heard of a second Heavenly Dao Scroll existing in the world.

Since ancient times, the person holding the Heavenly Dao Scroll carries the Mandate of Heaven, and without exception, they are all peerless geniuses with the heavenly spiritual root.

But this Ye kid was just an ordinary cultivator with dual spiritual roots and didn't have a special destiny.

But what if...

If Ye Anping really had another Heavenly Dao Scroll, he should be able to see her, and he and Feng Yu Die would definitely be entangled in cause and effect from now on...

"Hey, kid, do you see me and deliberately pretend not to?" Xiao Tian floated from Feng Yu Die's head to Ye Anping and grabbed his face.

This was not the first time Xiao Tian asked Ye Anping this question, but Feng Yu Die was unconscious at that time.

Therefore, when she heard this question, she widened her eyes and voiced her surprise without thinking. "Xiao Tian, you said he can see you?"

"Xiao Tian?" Ye Anping looked around, pretending to be puzzled. "What Xiao Tian?"

"Err..."

Xiao Tian hugged her chest and stared straight into his eyes, wishing to get inside his head.

Reading Xiao Tian's behavior, Feng Yu Die said at once, "Don't mind me. If you see me talking to myself in the future, just take it as me losing my mind."

"..." Ye Anping's expression remained undisturbed as he continued, "Before entering the Fort of Secrets, crush your Black Star Sect disciple tablet. Then, the sect elders will rush over to save you."

"Am I that valuable? Would the Black Star turn against the Seven Slayers Sect for me?"

"You are valuable, but not that much, so I have also made other preparations. Don't worry, the Black Star Sect will definitely come for you, and the one who'll come should be an elder in the Immortal Ascension stage."

Feng Yu Die pondered for a moment and asked. "Then, why don't you just tell the Black Star elders where the Fort of Secrets is?"

"First, it's not convenient for me to talk about it. Second, if I talk about it directly, I won't get much reward, and the profit will be too low. And third, this will allow me to take advantage of this opportunity to divert the Magical Poison Sect's attention from us to the Black Star Sect."

"Divert attention?"

With a flick of his finger, Ye Anping took out Wu You ID token and magic items from his storage bag and placed them on the table.

"If you have these things with you, they will search you and take them away, and then the Black Star elders will take them back. These things are not easy to deal with, but after changing hands like this, when the Magical Poison Sect investigates, they will only find the Seven Slayers and the Black Star Sect involved. That will put a smoke screen between us and the Magical Poison Sect."

Feng Yu Die glanced at the items on the table, then stared at Ye Anping for a while and sighed.

When she first met him, she thought he was just like those ordinary rich young men, a flashy and shallow kid.

At that time, when Xiao Tian said to her, "It wouldn't hurt to make friends with this Ye Anping," she was quite dismissive, but now, it seemed that he might have been right.

Since she was a child, Feng Yu Die had never really been afraid of anything; even when she met the Grand Master of the Magical Poison Sect last time, she just felt a little flustered.

But now, sitting in front of Ye Anping, she felt she didn't want to make an enemy of this man no matter what.

Feng Yu Die finally took the tea that Ye Anping had poured for her and took a sip, then said, "Young Master Ye, now I know why Sister Pei trusts you so much."

She leaned back in her chair, completely relaxed, and said, "Let's talk about the profit share, you said fifty-fifty, right? Let's go with that, then. I agree with your plan, but I have one request."

"Say it."

"Give me a free physiotherapy session so I can experience it. I'm curious as to how you use ordinary people techniques on cultivators."

At this time, Bai Yuexin's voice was heard outside the house.

"Anping~ I bought the roasted chicken. Where are you guys?"

Ye Anping unhurriedly took out the soundproof talismans fixed in the corners, thought for a while, and nodded in agreement. "Let's eat the roasted chicken for now. By the way, keep coming to my shop for lunch and dinner every day these days. I will buy you more roasted chicken."

"Huh? Why?"

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in you." Ye Anping gave her a blank look and said, "In a few days, I will tie you up and hand you over to the late-stage Foundation Building cultivator you met before, and he will take you to the post station of the Seven Slayers Sect, then transfer you to the Fort of Secrets. But at the same time, I have to explain to the man how I caught you so that he doesn't get suspicious."

"What does that have to do with me coming to your place?"

"...The reason is simple, you are falling for my charm."

"I'm falling for..." Feng Yu Die stared at him a little speechless, but after thinking about it, she joked, smiling. "Young Master Ye."

"Yes?"

She cupped her cheeks, grinning.

"If you had been born a girl, you might have really attracted me."

Ye Anping looked at her speechlessly and retorted. "If I were born a girl, I would have stayed as far away from you as possible."
