"Then, why should I take you?"
Qin Xuan pushed away the wine Qianqian offered, looking at her indifferently.
Indeed, his Luck was astonishing.
Although the other party could discern his Luck, it didn't mean he had to bring this woman along.
One more person meant one more trouble, and Qin Xuan didn't want to bring trouble upon himself.
"Young Master should know the importance of the Origin Heavenly Bone. If Young Master takes me, I can help Young Master find the location of the Origin Heavenly Bone. Additionally, this humble Fairy is willing to divine auspiciousness and predict fortune and misfortune for Young Master."
Seeing Qin Xuan's unmoved expression, the woman gritted her teeth.
"If that's not enough, even if it's making the bed and warming it, this humble Fairy wouldn't refuse."
By the end, Qianqian Fairy's voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz, and she lowered her head shyly.
Listening to her words, Qin Xuan fell into deep thought.
Taking a woman wasn't impossible, but it was hard to tell if Qianqian Fairy was friend or foe. If she suddenly betrayed him, it would be troublesome.
The journey to the Kun Peng Nest was extraordinary and of great importance; he didn't want a sudden burden.
"No matter, I say we should take her."
Just then, Han Ye suddenly spoke, advising Qin Xuan.
"This woman probably knows many secrets. Taking her will make things easier for us on the road. Moreover, she was the one who mentioned the Origin Heavenly Bone, so she might be the most knowledgeable one. With her, our tasks will be more convenient."
"Besides, her Luck is currently intertwined with yours. If you really ignore her and she goes to someone else, calculating your location, that would be troublesome."
"As for betrayal, the control of the Cloud Boat is in your hands, so there's no need to worry."
Han Ye said, then seeing Qin Xuan still hesitant, he suggested again.
"Why don't you plant a Restriction in her body? If she ever harbors ill intentions towards you, you'll have a way to counteract her."
Han Ye said seriously.
"I'm very interested in her Tianzi Wangqi Technique. It would be great if I could get my hands on it."
Hearing Han Lao's suggestion, Qin Xuan hesitated for a long time before nodding.
"Taking you isn't impossible, but I have two conditions. It just depends on whether you're willing."
Qin Xuan pondered for a moment, his gaze fixed on Qianqian Fairy.
"The first condition is that you must first tell me your true purpose. Don't tell me you're going to the Kun Peng Nest just to help me get the Origin Heavenly Bone. That kind of nonsense can fool fools, but it can't fool me."
After hearing Qin Xuan's first condition, she hesitated, but finally gritted her teeth and nodded.
"Alright, since Young Master is interested, I'll tell Young Master."
"I'm entering the Kun Peng Nest to obtain a Legacy treasure of my Sect."
"A thousand years ago, a mighty expert from my Sect deduced the location of the Kun Peng Nest and, without authorization, took my Sect's important treasure into the Kun Peng Nest, hoping to obtain the Kun Peng Legacy."
"As a result, his skills were insufficient, and he died, his Dao vanishing. Not only did he fail to acquire the Kun Peng Legacy, but he also lost the important treasure."
"This time, I am acting on my Sect's orders to go to the Kun Peng Nest and retrieve the important treasure from back then."
Qianqian Fairy calmly explained to Qin Xuan.
"To find your Sect's important treasure, your Sect sent you, and only you?"
Qin Xuan was half-believing, always feeling that this explanation had some truth and some falsehood.
Qin Xuan didn't fully believe this explanation.
"Alright, then I'll state the second condition."
Clearing his throat, Qin Xuan calmly stated the second condition.
"I must plant a Restriction in your body. If you dare to betray me, I will surely activate the Restriction, making you suffer eternal damnation and leaving you without a burial place."
Qin Xuan said seriously.
Qianqian's expression immediately changed.
She knew all too well what it meant to have a Restriction planted in her body.
"This, is this really necessary?"
Qianqian bit her lower lip, asking worriedly.
Having a Restriction planted meant her life and death were completely controlled by someone else.
This feeling of having one's life controlled by another was naturally unpleasant.
"Fairy can certainly refuse, but if Fairy refuses, I'm afraid I won't be able to take Fairy to the Kun Peng Nest, as I cannot entrust my back to someone I cannot trust."
"To earn my trust, I must plant a Restriction in Fairy's body; otherwise, it's absolutely impossible."
Qin Xuan said seriously, leaving no room for compromise.
Seeing Qin Xuan's resolute stance, Qianqian hesitated for a long time before finally nodding.
"Alright, since Young Master is so insistent, it's not impossible."
"I just hope Young Master can keep his word. After entering the Kun Peng Nest, I will help Young Master obtain the Origin Heavenly Bone, and Young Master will help me obtain my Sect's important treasure."
"This humble Fairy's life and fate are entirely entrusted to Young Master."
According to the divination results, this person before her was her only chance for success. She had no choice but to compromise.
"Alright, then it's a deal."
Since this woman agreed to let him plant a Restriction in her body, Qin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Once the Restriction was planted, this woman's life and death would be completely controlled by him, and there would be no need to worry about her betraying him.
"Alright, extend your hand."
Qin Xuan didn't waste time and directly told Qianqian to extend her hand.
Qianqian obeyed. Qin Xuan pricked his fingertip and swiftly left an imprint on Qianqian's palm.
Then, his Mental Energy heavily struck the bloody imprint.
"Boom!"
As the imprint of the Divine Soul and vital blood merged into Qianqian's body, Qianqian's face immediately turned flushed.
"Alright, the Restriction has been planted. There's nothing to worry about now."
Qin Xuan nodded, retracting his fingertip.
Qianqian let out a long breath, also relieved.
"Before coming here, did you prepare a Cloud Boat, or do you have any other way to go to the Kun Peng Nest?"
Qin Xuan tentatively asked Qianqian, wanting to know if she had any other backup plans.
Qianqian smiled and shook her head at Qin Xuan.
"No, I divined before I came. According to the divination, I only need to follow that noble person, so I haven't done anything else."
This woman truly believed those divinations.
"Aren't you afraid I won't take you? Or that your divination was wrong?"
Qin Xuan truly didn't understand this behavior.
"There is destiny in the unseen. I just need to follow the will of Heaven."
Qianqian smiled as she looked at Qin Xuan.
Hearing this, Qin Xuan nodded.
People could believe whatever they wanted, as long as it didn't affect him.
"Since that's the case, then follow my arrangements."
After speaking, Qin Xuan stood up, motioning for Qianqian to follow him.
The two walked out of the inn, one after the other.
"Do you need to prepare anything? I'm going to the market soon. If you need anything, you can prepare it in advance. In one hour, you and I will leave by Cloud Boat."
"This hour is your last time for independent action. After that, all your actions will be arranged by me, and you must not act rashly."
"Is Young Master going to ride the Cloud Boat with those great people?"
Qianqian asked.
Qin Xuan glanced at her.
"No, I have my own Cloud Boat. I don't need to be with them."
"Alright, I'm going to the market now. You may go wherever you please, but don't delay too long."
After giving his instructions, Qin Xuan left on his own, not letting Qianqian follow.
He didn't want this woman to know his whereabouts.
