"By the way, I feel that Hu Ningyan has brought two strange monks today, and they look unusual to me. Send someone to investigate and figure out the identities of these two people as quickly as possible."

Although Hu Ningyan disguised herself and concealed her aura and appearance, the old man had already known the identity of Hu Ningyan, the princess of the Fox Clan, because of Lu Chuan.

As for being able to compete with Hu Ningyan without any fear, the old man was keenly aware that Yuan Qiuxia was probably not an ordinary demon clan.

Although it had no impact on the plan, the old man still planned to find out more.

"clear."

After that man learned some of the information he heard from the old man, he ended the message transmission.

At this time, Lu Chuan had returned to the first floor, and Qin Cheng also walked down to the second floor after grabbing two demon stones.

"Everyone, have you finished selecting the demon stones?"

Seeing the four people gathered on the first floor, the white-bearded old man smiled and regained his appearance as a friendly shopkeeper.

He was even very polite to Qin Cheng, who had cheated him before.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, these are the twenty demon stones we selected. Please use your formation to break them open."

Lu Chuan smiled slightly, having already sent a message to Hu Ningyan to confirm that everything was going well.

In this competition, they are sure to win.

"Of course there's no problem with that."

The old man with white beard also smiled.

"etc."

But what a few people didn't expect was that someone questioned it again this time.

And it's not Qin Cheng, but Yuan Qiuxia.

"Fellow Taoist Lu, did you just address this fellow Taoist as shopkeeper Zhang?" Yuan Qiuxia frowned.

"But it seems that the shopkeeper never introduced himself from beginning to end."

"Is it possible that you have known each other for a long time?"

Noticing Yuan Qiuxia's doubtful gaze, Lu Chuan's expression froze.

Just now I was so proud that I seemed to blurt out the words.

The old man with white beard twitched his eyebrows and almost couldn't help but slap Lu Chuan.

This piece of rubbish really succeeds more than fails. It's almost finished. Why are you calling me by my last name?

"Fellow Taoists, my surname is indeed Zhang, but as I said before, maybe you didn't pay attention, and only Taoist friend Lu heard it." The white-bearded old man explained with a smile.

"Is that so?" Yuan Qiuxia thought about it carefully, but she didn't seem to have such an impression.

"It's true. Fellow Daoist Yuan, you are so focused on the demon stone that you may have overlooked it." Lu Chuan also quickly smiled.

"Stop wasting your time. Even if the two of them know each other, what does it matter? Could the demon stone still be fake?" Hu Ningyan waved her hands impatiently.

"Open these demonic stones directly."

"good."

The white-bearded old man was not willing to struggle with this issue, so he quickly stepped forward and brought the demon stones from both sides to the special formation.

"Fellow Taoists, although this formation is not small, it can only break through ten demon stones at most at one time. I wonder which of you will come first?" the white-bearded old man asked.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, I don't think we should open them all at once. Let's open five of them first to add a bit of suspense to the competition." Lu Chuan said with a smile.

"Two fellow Taoists, you probably don't have any objections either."

"casual."

Of course Qin Cheng had no objection to this. As for Lu Chuan's intentions, he could more or less guess it.

This guy probably intended to let himself and Yuan Qiuxia down a little bit and experience the feeling of gradual despair.
