Chapter 70: They are plotting a major conspiracy!
"Tearing up my invitation and selling it in the market, what does that mean? Are they disrespecting me, not putting the Bright Palace in their eyes?"
Zhu Lianhua was furious; he had never been so humiliated.
Wang Shuang, standing next to him, also felt a bit embarrassed.
This Shinguang Sect, how could they handle things so poorly?
He knew that Zhu Lianhua had sent an invitation to the Seven-Color Peak, but he didn't expect it to be torn up and sold in the market.
He organized his thoughts and said, "I've heard that the senior disciple of Seven-Color Peak is eccentric and acts unusually. Perhaps he was the one who sold the invitation!"
Wang Shuang did not mention the Peak Master of Seven-Color Peak, trying to direct the conflict toward Qi Yuan.
After all, he feared that Zhu Lianhua, in a fit of anger, might clash with the suspected late-stage Nascent Soul Peak Master.
But having a conflict with a Qi Refining disciple was not a big deal.
"Hmph, without that bitch Ruan Yixi's permission, would her disciple dare to sell my invitation?" Zhu Lianhua transmitted his voice, his face already calm.
If Jiang Lingsu were here and heard Zhu Lianhua's voice transmission, she would definitely say, "Senior brother would dare."
"Zhu Daoist, be careful with your words. This is the market under Shinguang Sect!"
"Hmph, we are just transmitting our voices, what is there to fear!" Zhu Lianhua continued his voice transmission.
Wang Shuang felt even more contemptuous upon hearing this.
Everyone knows you're afraid and don't dare to scold openly, so why act so arrogant?
"Daoist, are we still going to Shinguang Sect?" Wang Shuang tentatively asked, "Should we go to demand an explanation?"
He looked at Zhu Lianhua, fearing that Zhu Lianhua, in a fit of anger, would make a scene at Shinguang Sect.
If that happened, he would definitely claim that his thirteenth concubine was having a difficult labor and he needed to rush back home, avoiding involvement.
Zhu Lianhua's expression was uncertain, but he eventually spoke, "Going now would be courting humiliation!
But I will remember today's humiliation. Shinguang Sect... humiliates me today, and when I step into the Nascent Soul realm in the future, I will make this sect restless!
Let's go!"
Zhu Lianhua chose to bide his time.
Completing the task given by his master was the top priority.
As for Shinguang Sect, Ruan Yixi, and that Qi Yuan, he remembered them!
Wang Shuang was delighted upon hearing this: "Daoist, this is a wise decision. That Ruan Yixi is highly skilled and not easy to provoke, but her disciple is just a Qi Refining stage. When he leaves the sect, I will find a reason to capture him to vent your anger!"
Not far away, Qi Yuan, wearing a cloak, was scratching his face anxiously.
Just now, he had secretly gone down the mountain to sell that invitation.
Unexpectedly, he encountered people from Bright Palace.
What a small world.
He secretly hid his presence and followed them, eavesdropping on some information that made him angry.
That Zhu Lianhua wants to seize the treasure!
Who is the treasure of Shinguang Sect if not Qi Yuan himself?
Trying to seize him? How could Qi Yuan tolerate that?
In the end, seeing the anger and intense voice transmission of the other party who bought the invitation, Qi Yuan felt they were plotting something big.
"It's a pity I can't read minds, otherwise, I would surely know their conspiracy!
They provide concealment, protection, and escape." Jiang Lingsu gave the talismans to Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Junior Sister!"
"Senior Brother, use the Concealment Talisman and Copper Armor Talisman, and let's follow them."
"Alright." Though reluctant, Qi Yuan used the talismans.
The two of them, using the talismans, walked through the market.
The market people seemed oblivious to their presence.
They followed Zhu Lianhua and Wang Shuang out of the market.
Qi Yuan and Jiang Lingsu kept following behind.
"Senior Brother, stay close to me," Jiang Lingsu whispered.
She feared if Senior Brother was too far, she couldn't protect him if a fight broke out.
"Alright." Qi Yuan moved closer to Jiang Lingsu.
The distance between them was very close, and Jiang Lingsu could feel Qi Yuan's slightly nervous breathing, making her blush.
It was her first close encounter with a man.
But for Senior Brother's safety, she didn't hesitate, taking his hand: "Senior Brother, if there's danger, stay behind me."
"Alright, I'll protect you from behind!" Qi Yuan agreed, holding Jiang Lingsu's hand.
They secretly followed Zhu Lianhua and Wang Shuang. After about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, they entered a forest.
In this secluded place, few people came.
Jiang Lingsu remained calm, but Qi Yuan seemed nervous, his breathing rapid, making Jiang Lingsu feel a strange sensation.
"Senior Brother, when the time is right, we will attack and kill them."
"Attacking without honor, I understand this!"
"Yes, follow my lead." Jiang Lingsu emphasized.
Facing a perfected Foundation Establishment and a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, Jiang Lingsu knew she wasn't their match alone.
But with her numerous treasures, she could overwhelm the two Foundation Establishment cultivators.
They moved quietly, soon reaching the depths of the forest.
At this point, Wang Shuang and Zhu Lianhua stopped, seemingly discussing something.
Seeing this, Qi Yuan suddenly shouted, "Junior Sister, now is the best time, watch me sneak attack!"
With that, Qi Yuan charged with a kitchen knife.
Jiang Lingsu was dumbfounded.
She knew this was the best time for a sneak attack, but she needed time to prepare her treasures.
She planned to get ready and then tell Senior Brother she was about to attack, and he should stay behind.
Who knew Senior Brother was so impulsive!
Those were a perfected and a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator!
You, a Qi Refining stage, charging like this?
And this is called a sneak attack?
Charging with a kitchen knife!
At this moment, Jiang Lingsu had no time to think.
