Chapter 252: The Junior Sister’s Clever Plan
Hearing Qi Yuan’s words, the Great Sun Flame Emperor let out a sigh of relief.
"Origin Heavenly Sovereign, Grand Sovereign Jasmine is incredibly powerful. Moreover, because of her father, she holds great influence across the three regions. Many senior figures have to show her respect, so you mustn't offend her lightly."
As the Great Sun Flame Emperor mentioned Grand Sovereign Jasmine, his expression became complicated.
He was telling the truth.
In the three regions, Grand Sovereign Jasmine might not be the strongest, but she was certainly the most untouchable.
Due to the mythical secret treasures left by her father, Grand Sovereign Jasmine had many sycophants.
"Origin Heavenly Sovereign, when did you start flirting with Grand Sovereign Jasmine?" Rogue Immortal couldn’t help but ask, intrigued by gossip about a Yin God’s personal life.
"I don’t know her," Qi Yuan replied honestly.
He really didn’t know Grand Sovereign Jasmine.
He wasn’t particularly interested in her mythical secret treasures—what he wanted were the techniques within them.
The Great Sun Flame Emperor frowned upon hearing this. "Then why would she say something like that...?"
"Maybe the Origin Heavenly Sovereign is just too good-looking. If I were a woman, I’d fall for him too!" Rogue Immortal said.
"Get away from me!" Qi Yuan glared at Rogue Immortal, displeased by the sudden male affection.
Everyone chuckled.
Qi Yuan continued, "Regarding Grand Sovereign Jasmine, I can ask my junior sister for advice. She’s also a wealthy woman, and she might have some ideas on how to handle this."
After saying this, Qi Yuan took out a jade slip and sent a message to his junior sister, Jiang Lingsu.
"Junior sister, I’ve recently encountered a wealthy woman.
I’ve never met her, and she’s never met me.
But she publicly declared that she likes me.
She has some things I want.
How do you think I can get those things from her?"
His junior sister, being a wealthy woman, had already given him a lot of resources.
She had even secretly given him Jiang Ya’s techniques.Updated chapters at novelhall.com
Qi Yuan’s early success was largely due to the financial support from his wealthy junior sister.
Since his junior sister was so good at getting people to cough up money, he figured he’d ask her how to make another wealthy woman do the same.
Meanwhile, at Seven-Colored Peak, Jiang Lingsu widened her eyes in surprise, looking particularly cute.
She frowned, muttering angrily, "Wasn’t he supposed to meet up with some friends from the Divine Flower Assembly? How is there now a wealthy woman involved?"
"What nonsense! She hasn’t even met my senior brother and already says she likes him. She’s definitely up to no good!"
She thought carefully about how to reply to her senior brother.
"Senior brother, she says she likes you, right?
Why don’t you just go and ask her directly? If she really likes you, she should give you the things you want.
If she gives them to you, then you’ve got what you wanted.
If she doesn’t, it means she’s just toying with you!"
On the other side, Qi Yuan read Jiang Lingsu’s reply and couldn’t help but smile. "My junior sister has both brains and beauty; her wisdom rivals that of a great sage."
Qi Yuan genuinely thought her advice made sense.
He could find a time to meet Grand Sovereign Jasmine directly.
If she claims to love him, would she not be willing to part with her secret treasures? What kind of love would that be?
As long as Grand Sovereign Jasmine marked the treasures as a gift, even if they ended up in court, Qi Yuan wouldn’t have to return them.
This was indeed a great idea—much simpler and more straightforward than getting married.
"None of them are from Feng Tian Domain.
One of them is a Purple Mansion cultivator, probably from a prominent background judging by their attire.
Another seems to be someone from the Eastern Lands' Young Talents List, named Gao Xiaoyu, from a Purple Mansion sect.
The third one...is unknown, but their robe is even less impressive than Gao Xiaoyu's. At most, they’re also from a Purple Mansion sect."
The assistant manager was well-informed.
He recognized Rogue Immortal as someone from the Eastern Lands' Young Talents List.
"Eastern Lands' Young Talents List?" Elder Xiang Yun was stunned. "So trashy?"
He paid attention only to the top twenty of the Eastern Lands' Talents List, dismissing the rest as irrelevant.
As for the Young Talents List, that was just trash among trash.
"If those two are so worthless...then I’ll make an example out of them!" A cold glint appeared in Elder Xiang Yun’s eyes.
He couldn’t kill the Great Sun Flame Emperor, but dealing with two nobodies was no problem.
Even if Feng Palace found out, the higher-ups would only praise him.
After all, making life difficult for Feng Jun and the Great Sun Flame Emperor was a shared goal within Feng Palace.
The assistant manager hesitated.
He understood what Elder Xiang Yun intended.
The Ice Mountain Queen’s background likely involved a Yin God, so they couldn’t afford to offend her.
They couldn’t kill the Great Sun Flame Emperor either.
But humiliating the Great Sun Flame Emperor by kicking him out of Wangxian Tower wouldn’t be enough.
The best targets were the two without power or background—Qi Yuan and Gao Xiaoyu.
They could be accused of something, then thrown out of Wangxian Tower and beaten to death by the guards.
This would humiliate the Great Sun Flame Emperor effectively.
"If you do this for me, you’ll be rewarded.
Didn’t you have your eye on Yang Li’s granddaughter? Do this well, and I’ll arrange for her to end up in your bed tonight!"
Hearing this, the assistant manager’s eyes gleamed with greed, and he couldn’t help but swallow. "Consider it done!"
Elder Xiang Yun laughed heartily. "Feng Xie...making an enemy of me was the stupidest decision of your life!"
After all, he was carrying out the will of Feng Palace’s higher-ups to suppress the Great Sun Flame Emperor.
Who would have thought that the Great Sun Flame Emperor would dare to fight back, even injuring him several times?
How could he not be furious?
Meanwhile, inside Wangxian Tower.
Qi Yuan waved his hand. "We’re all brothers here. Your problems are my problems!
Back then, when the Bright Palace oppressed me, didn’t you all support me, cheering me on?"
The Great Sun Flame Emperor looked grateful.
On the flying boat earlier, he had mentioned his predicament to Qi Yuan.
He feared that coming out of seclusion might provoke retaliation from Elder Xiang Yun of Feng Palace.
At the time, Qi Yuan had dismissed his concerns, saying, "If he dares come after you, then when the grass on his grave grows ten meters tall, there will definitely be an extra illegitimate son."
"Thank you, Heavenly Sovereign," the Great Sun Flame Emperor sighed in relief.
He had been worried that Elder Xiang Yun might cause trouble and that his three friends would misunderstand, thinking he had deliberately provoked Elder Xiang Yun to use Qi Yuan’s strength against his enemies.
"Just be straightforward about it, like how I told you about my Stellar Golden Core and the over four thousand Nascent Souls I’ve condensed. I didn’t hide anything from you, did I?" Qi Yuan said with a smile.
"Over four thousand Nascent Souls?" Rogue Immortal swallowed nervously. "If you have so many Nascent Souls, could you give me one?"
"Origin Heavenly Sovereign, are you planning to have children or what?"
At that moment, the door to the private room suddenly swung open.
