Yun Zhao, being closest to the child, was the first to be shocked. Her face contorted in pain. "Child, what kind of spices are these? They smell so... so good!"

It can smell so good that it actually smells terrible!

Others quickly covered their mouths and noses to avoid the discomfort.

"Does it smell strong?"

The child's expression remained normal. She sniffed the air and said, "No."

Yun Zhao thought her sense of smell had failed her and was about to say something when she saw two people walk past her.

Her expression changed, and she was about to pull the children away to hide, but the two of them ignored them and walked towards the door.

"This, this is..."

Yun Zhao was astonished. The two people were Song Zhiyuan and Xue Huairui. Although they had changed their appearance, their aura remained the same.

Logically speaking, Song Zhiyuan should have been able to sense her presence after spending so many years with her.

Bai Lingxiao was also startled. The little boy winked at them, indicating that they should talk about it later. Yun Zhao understood and said to the waiter, "We want to go to the second floor to take a look."

The waiter rubbed his eyes. He didn't know if he was seeing things or what, but the aura of the customers in front of him had changed!

But in the blink of an eye, he changed back to his old self.

"Bro?"

Upon hearing Yun Zhao call him, the waiter hurriedly replied, "Alright, please follow me, sir."

He must not have slept well last night and his eyes are playing tricks on him. How can a cultivator's aura change so easily?

The magical artifacts on the second floor are clearly of a much higher grade, and there are also private rooms for guests to rest.

Yun Zhao didn't rush to see it, but instead asked the waiter to find them a private room.

After the waiter served the tea and left, as soon as the door closed, Bai Lingxiao said, "Zhaozhao, if I'm not mistaken, one of those two people was Song Zhiyuan, right?"

Gu Dinghan exclaimed in surprise, "What? Song Zhiyuan! What's he doing here? Is he here to see us?"

“I don’t think so,” Meng Wenchang analyzed. “We disguised ourselves, but our aura didn’t change. If he really came to find us, he would have been able to spot Junior Sister Zhao Zhao.”

"Only when your mind isn't on it will you overlook it."

The child timidly raised his hand, "Is it possible that I tampered with our aura?"

Everyone: "???"

The child explained, "The fragrance you smelled just now can alter our scent, but it can only last for a short while."

"So that's how it is," Yun Zhao said suddenly, "I was really scared just now."

But Song Zhiyuan's appearance disrupted their plans. Song Zhiyuan was in the Song family, and the old nanny they were looking for was also in the Song family. What if they managed to sneak into the Song family and were discovered by Song Zhiyuan?

Qi Yan did have a technique to conceal his aura, but Yun Zhao was worried about letting him go alone.

What if she, such a promising target, is ruined by the Song family?

Yun Zhao never intended for Qi Yan to teach the techniques to all of them. Techniques that conceal one's aura are rare, and even the four major sects don't have them. Otherwise, Master Guiyuan wouldn't have been unable to detect Qi Yan's demonic aura back then.

"Little Tong," Yun Zhao asked, still unwilling to give up, "how long can this last at most?"

“Just a moment ago,” Xiao Tong said, “Senior Sister Zhao Zhao, you actually know about this too. It’s a fragrance recipe developed by the old sect leader, and he taught it to us.”

Having no memory of it, Yun Zhao guiltily brushed it off, saying, "Really? I have a vague recollection."

With his mind preoccupied, Yun Zhao casually bought a few magical artifacts and returned to the inn with the others.

Not long after they left, Qi Yan finished drawing the old woman's portrait and stayed in the room, feeling utterly bored.

It's just that he's not strong enough right now, otherwise he could have infiltrated the Song family himself and brought the old nanny out.

Looking at his current cultivation level, Qi Yan missed his past self even more.

But his cultivation level in his previous life was earned through countless hardships.

In his past life, he was constantly on the brink of life and death, and his cultivation level skyrocketed. If he didn't work hard to become stronger, he would be killed by the people chasing him in the next second.

In this life, I haven't suffered much.

And then there are... friends.

I'd say we're friends.

Qi Yan tapped the table casually.

He was troubled for a while, but then realized that he didn't need to think about it at all.

Once his demon identity is revealed, even his friends will become his enemies...

"Dong dong dong."

A knock sounded at the door, and Yun Zhao's voice came from outside, "Ayan, may we come in?"

Her voice was very soft, as if she didn't want to disturb his rest.

Qi Yan couldn't help but smile slightly. "Come in."

Yun Zhao and the others then entered the house.

She briefly told Qi Yan about what happened at the spirit weapon shop earlier. When she mentioned that she was struggling with how to conceal her aura, Qi Yan suddenly said, "You know that I know a cultivation technique."

"I'll teach you."

Yun Zhao hesitated for a moment, "But that kind of cultivation technique..."

Qi Yan smiled and said, "You're helping me. It's just a cultivation technique."

Gu Dinghan was quite surprised. "Junior Brother Qi, forget about everything else. If you thank us with ten million spirit stones each after this is done, we will gladly accept it."

"But techniques for concealing one's aura aren't commonplace. Are you really going to teach us?"

“But I can’t come up with forty million,” Qi Yan shrugged, “I can only repay you with my cultivation technique.”

He wasn't much of a talker, and seeing that they were still going to refuse, he simply recited the incantation of the cultivation technique.

Now, they have no choice but to learn, even if they don't want to.

After the others memorized the incantation, they went back to their rooms to practice, while Yun Zhao stayed behind.

Looking at her scrunched-up little face, Qi Yan had a bad feeling.

What is she going to do?

Yun Zhao asked seriously, "Qi Yan, tell me honestly..."

Qi Yan grew increasingly uneasy.

Did she discover that he had been reborn?

He was still discovered...

"Why forty million? So everyone else has a net worth, and I'm just free?"

"Don't I want to lose face?"

Qi Yan: "..."

call--

It turns out to be this.

Qi Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said confidently, "Because I don't have that many spirit stones, it doesn't matter how many you say. All my wealth is with you."

It's all tears when I tell you. Yun Zhao used the excuse that he was extravagant with his money to take all the spirit stones from his sect's supplies, leaving him only with cultivation resources.

Yun Zhao thought for a moment.

Also.

She makes grand promises off the cuff, and she even said she'd buy her cat a multi-million dollar mansion.

"Actually, I didn't spend a single low-grade spirit stone; it was all you who paid for it..."

Qi Yan muttered softly.

Although the sect's supplies contained only a few spirit stones, there were still tens of thousands of them, but he hadn't touched a single one!

Yun Zhao said irritably, "You still have to talk. You don't know the cost of firewood and rice until you're in charge of the household. I need to save up. I'll need to spend spirit stones a lot more often."

Qi Yan: "..."

Don't think I don't know you own a spirit stone mine!

However, no matter how much Yun Zhao has, it's all hers; Qi Yan herself truly has no money.

He was only reborn a few months ago. You have to understand that just a few months ago, he was a prisoner with tattered clothes.

But after a while, he will be able to turn his life around and become a millionaire.

Qi Yan curled the corners of his lips. "Zhao Zhao, if I said I have precognitive abilities, would you believe me?"
