Chapter 236: Petrified on the Spot (9)

When asked Su Xiaoyuan, the child simply didn't know that Old Chen had a basement warehouse.

Su Luo held a candle and walked down the winding stairs, while Su Xiaoyuan was stopped at the entrance of the basement.

When Su Luo entered the basement, Old Chen stood with his hands behind his back, silently observing her.

For some reason, being watched by that gaze, Su Luo suddenly felt a creepy sensation, as if one of her secrets had been exposed before him.

Old Chen merely glanced at her, then averted his gaze and said indifferently, "Curious why this old man regards you with special favor?"

His voice was deep, hoarse, and filled with the vicissitudes of time.

Su Luo nodded. She couldn't deny that, compared to Liu Chengfeng, Old Chen had indeed intentionally or unintentionally sided with her. Moreover, he could see the mystery of the Little Divine Dragon at a glance… This made Su Luo extremely curious.

Old Chen's expression remained indifferent. He merely said, "There's a blue crystal stone in here. If you can truly pick it out, this old man will naturally tell you."

After speaking, he gave Su Luo a deep look, turned, and left the basement.

What a mysterious old man. But it didn't matter, she couldn't pick out raw stones, but the Little Divine Dragon could.

Su Luo looked around the basement, and as her gaze slowly moved, a strange feeling emerged in her eyes.

The light in the basement was a bit dim, but it didn't affect Su Luo.

She looked closely, growing more and more surprised, because this basement, whether in terms of area or layout… was exactly the same as the Purple Fire Elder's Immortal Cave.

It was at the Purple Fire Elder's place that she first obtained raw stones and first learned about crystal stones.

She never expected the arrangement here to be so similar to that Immortal Cave.

What was the relationship between the Purple Fire Elder and Old Chen? Did Old Chen treat her with special favor because he discovered that she had inherited the Purple Fire Elder's legacy? Su Luo's mind was full of questions.

There weren't many raw stones in the basement; only a pile in the corner.

Following Su Luo's instructions, the Little Divine Dragon picked out all the raw stones containing crystal stones in the basement, which greatly surprised Su Luo.

The proportion of crystal stones was too high, wasn't it?

Among these thirty raw stones, twenty contained crystal stones, and the worst was orange, while the best… was actually blue.

There really was a blue crystal stone? Old Chen didn't lie to her?

"You actually found the blue crystal stone." Old Chen appeared silently, and when he saw the blue crystal stone, a strange color flashed in his eyes.

Su Luo watched him warily. This old man appeared and disappeared mysteriously; she didn't know what was going on.

Old Chen, however, waved his hand, signaling her not to be nervous: "Little girl, there's no need to be afraid. This old man will not harm you."

Seeing Su Luo frown, a smile actually appeared in Old Chen's eyes: "Little girl, don't you find this place very familiar?"

Indeed! Su Luo held the Little Divine Dragon, stroking its soft fur, and looked at him indifferently: "Uncle Chen seems very familiar with the Purple Fire Elder?"

The four characters "Purple Fire Elder" seemed to possess a magical power, instantly causing a strange light to burst forth from Old Chen's cloudy eyes.

Although he tried his best to suppress it, Su Luo could feel Old Chen's excitement at this moment. He was excited because he heard the four characters "Purple Fire Elder."

Su Luo saw Old Chen's hand, hidden in his sleeve, trembling slightly.
