At the Clear Sound Tea House, the storyteller was eloquently recounting an old story from the previous dynasty. Usually, the customers would listen to the story with relish and constantly strike up a friendship. But today, everyone was whispering to each other. No one knew what they were talking about. He looked surprised and jealous. This made the storyteller very unhappy. He called his little disciple over and said, "Go ask around and find out what they are talking about."
The teenager was very quick-witted. He took the teapot and walked towards the crowd. A bearded man was saying something excitedly, "In that underground palace, even the floor tiles are made of gold. Those Night Pearls and gems are like mud and they're all thrown everywhere. Even the stones we use to increase our strength are called small pieces of gold on the outside. The entire wall inside is inlaid with gold." A burst of exclamations came from the crowd.
The quick-witted kid filled everyone's teacups with water and then asked the man with a full beard, "I wonder what you guys are talking about, I am so envious."
The bearded man drank all the water in the teacup in one gulp and the boy refilled his cup. He looked at the boy with appreciation and said, "Do you know about the ancient ruins?"
The man shook his head before continuing in satisfaction, "That was a huge fortune left behind by our founding emperor. A while ago, there seemed to be some fluctuations from the seal, so all the reputable gangs in the martial arts world sent people in. It is said that there are countless gold and silver treasures in there. As long as we mortals can get a single treasure, we don't need to worry about the entire family for the rest of our lives. Those were not the most precious ones. The emperor had left behind an Immortal medicine called the Soul-Returning Pearl. To what extent was the bead miraculous? Normal living people would be immortal if they ate it, and their inner strength would never reach the realm of immortality. "The dead can be revived with that pearl. Even if you are bitten into a skeleton in the coffin, you can still be revived."
The boy listened attentively, and said in amazement, "Such a good treasure and so much wealth, it would be great if I could obtain it. No, I only want a single treasure, so I don't need to talk to my master about books here. "
Laughter came from the crowd. Seeing how naive he was, the man with a full beard taunted, "I saw that you didn't have any internal energy at all. Do you know that a lot of Blue Rank masters in the martial arts world went in and didn't come out? Let alone you. "
The kid asked again, "Then isn't that the only thing we can take out of there forever?"
The other party shook his head and whispered, "Do you know of the Lunar Slaughter? The master behind that Moon Slaughter is someone who has reached the Black Rank. She is the one who empties the wealth within and destroys everything after coming out. " He harrumphed, "This madam is truly malicious, afraid that others will get some benefits."
Everyone's hearts were filled with yearning as they asked, "Didn't the Palace Master of the Devil Palace also reach the ink-rank? Why didn't he get it? "
The man replied, "You guys might not know this, but the Demon Palace caused an internal strife. They were poisoned and saved him with great difficulty, so how could they compete with that Moon Slaughter."
The boy finally received the complete piece of information and turned back to report to the storyteller. The white-browed old man took the divination with his finger before sighing, "The martial arts world is finally going to become chaotic again."
Su Yuewu listened attentively to the reports that came from her subordinates. The lady dressed in black said expressionlessly, "This subordinate has obtained news from many different sources. Now, all the theaters and restaurants. Teahouses, brothels and other complicated places with people all have the news that you have obtained the Soul-Returning Pearl. Many martial arts practitioners are rubbing their hands together, wanting to get the Soul-Returning Pearl from you. "
Su Yuewu asked, "Did you find out where the news came from?" The woman shook her head and said, "There are too many people and the area is too big to check. However, according to this subordinate's speculation, this must be related to the disappearance of Miss Qing Er a while ago. "
Su Yuewu nodded and said, "Indeed, I have my suspicions. I've sent people to search everywhere secretly, but they were unable to find anything. I think they must have been taken away by someone." Now that she didn't know who her opponents were or what they were going to do, Su Yuewu felt a headache coming on.
Xue Yue who was sitting down said: "As I see it, now that the Moon Slaughter is at the heart of the struggle, no matter what we do, it will only lead to more criticism. It would be better to wait and see what they did next.
Su Yuewu nodded and spoke to Nanfeng, who was standing below: "Nanfeng, do as Young Master Xue says."
In another place, a man in white was sitting in the seat of honor, slowly playing with an orange tangerine in his hand. He casually asked, "Have you spread the news?"
The subordinate respectfully replied: "Yes, Young Master. "I've already sent people to the places where there are many people. Those with even a bit of status in the martial arts world are all tempted. I heard that Kongtong Sect and the Celestial Sect of Wonders have reached a preliminary agreement to join hands and go to the Lunar Slaughter."
The man coldly snorted and said, "You overestimate yourself. You should send more people to get in contact with them. Then, spread the news that Yue Sha's master was the wife of the former son of the Shangguan family, and that the number one beauty in the world, Su Yuewu, also owns the Moon Shadow Trading Company. " The subordinate replied, "Yes."
He was still worried as he said, "Remember, you have to spread it slowly, bit by bit. Only by spreading it like this will you be able to get the most information."
Just as his subordinate was about to leave, the man suddenly asked again, "That woman from the Liu-Li Xuan is already like this." That subordinate turned around and said disapprovingly, "Every day, after eating and sleeping, when I'm bored, I would argue and ask to see Young Master. Young master, now that you know everything you need to know, is it … " He made a necking motion.
The white-clothed man slowly tightened his grip, orange juice slowly flowing out from the gaps of his palms. His voice sounded a little strange, "Don't worry, she still has some use for staying for the night."
The situation was just as Su Yuewu and the others had predicted, it was getting more and more serious. Slowly, the people of the martial arts world revealed her true identity as the master of the Lunar Shadow Trading Company, setting off a huge uproar in the martial arts world. Who would have thought that the number one beauty of the embroidery pillow, Su Yuewu, would have such an illustrious identity behind her back, and her husband, who had been abandoned, was already dead? She was now alone with a child, orphaned and widowed. Some men who thought they were good began to think of the idea of taking both money and sex.
The Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders was a short man in his thirties. He was usually very focused on maintaining his health, so his face was clean. As he consumed medicinal pills, his entire body emitted a strange fragrance. Normally, he never cultivated seriously. He and that female lead disciple only said that it was a seclusion, but in reality, it was a union with double cultivation. Although his internal energy had not improved, he was still able to cultivate the skills on the bed he was in.
Zhang Xiuxuan's eyes narrowed as she asked, "Has Rou passed through the Lunar Slaughter?" The girl said in shock: "The one who obtained the Soul Returning Pearl, Lunar Slaughter? Master is the number one beauty in the world, Su Yuewu's Moon Slaughter? "
The man praised her breasts and said, "That's right. Rumors have it in the martial arts world that the Soul Orb is in Su Yuewu's hands. She still has the Moon Slaughter Devil Nest and a huge financial organization like the Moon Shadow Chamber of Commerce. If I can get her, then the entire world will be mine." An expression of longing appeared on his face.
Rou-Er said, "Then what does Master want to do?" The man smiled and said, "The people of the martial arts world all want her dead. She has a child with her, so she is widowed and orphaned. If I am considerate to her at this moment and if she were to come across my item after not being exposed to the rain and clouds for a long time, she would definitely want to die and would never be able to leave me. "
Rou-Er said, "I'm afraid that Master has already forgotten about Rou-Er, now that you have her, the number one beauty in the world." She turned her back to Zhang Xiu Xuan and said.
Seeing that his favorite disciple was jealous, Zhang Xiuxuan hurriedly coaxed, "Good girl, very soft. Master's precious baby, Master will always love you the most. With your lustful body, Master is always so cute. "Don't worry. I am only doing it for Su Yuewu's property. The one I love the most is you, Rou'er."
With that, he covered himself up again, and the creaking sounds came from the bed. The person outside quietly left.
The next day, Rou-Er dragged her tired body to her feet, boiled water, and waited for Master to get up.
Seeing Rou Er enter, Zhang Xiuxuan did not stop and continued flirting with the maidservant. Rou-Er frowned, barely discernible, before she said calmly to Zhang Xiuxuan, "Master, wash your face and pour some water."
Only then did Zhang Xiuxuan put down the woman who had gone limp and reached out to wash her face.
After Rou-Er served him and washed him, she had to prepare breakfast. The Celestial Sect of Wonders was just a middle-sized sect that lacked funds. In Zhang Xiuxuan's generation, there were not many wealthy people who would send their children here to study. That made the money even more urgent.
Poor Rou-Er had to serve her master at night, wash clothes and cook meals during the day, and go to the bazaar to buy food from a large sect.
Rou-Er dragged her leaden legs as she struggled to walk through the market. She also wanted fresh vegetables, and they were cheaper. Every time, she would have to ask from the beginning until the end before she could buy from the cheapest one.
The people in the market were pushing and shoving her. She had been tormented by Zhang Xiuxuan for most of the night last night, and she had to boil water and cook in the morning. However, she hadn't eaten a single mouthful yet and had to go out to buy vegetables. Now that she had been pushed again, she finally couldn't take it anymore and fainted.
