Chapter 1938 - 1938 Threat

1938 Threat

Yi Wenzhuo was unmoved.

As early as when he decided to come with the Yi family, he had already thought of everything he would face in the future.

Chu Liuyue was Nan Suhuai’s beloved disciple. Making things difficult for her was undoubtedly equivalent to offending Nan Suhuai. It was even very likely that he would lose his status as the vice-director, but so what?

As the vice-director of Ling Xiao Academy, he felt aggrieved! Even if he lost the position, there was nothing to be sorry about!

!!

When she and Rong Xiu got married, Nan Suhuai’s actions were almost equivalent to confirming that the next director of the academy would be her!

What else did he have to care about? Therefore, in the end, he still chose to come as a member of the Yi family.

“Indeed. I didn’t expect you to be so ‘promising’ after not seeing you for a while,” Yi Wenzhuo said sarcastically. From the looks of it, Peach Blossom Dock really seems to be controlled by her, and Rong Xiu didn’t interfere much. However, these things are complicated. Until the last moment, nobody can tell what is going on.

Chu Liuyue nodded happily. “Thank you for your compliment, Vice-Director.”

It was as if she didn’t hear the irony in his words at all.

Yi Wenzhuo choked, then snorted and waved his sleeve fiercely. I want to see how long she can continue laughing!

Jun Jiuqing, who was at the side, had no expression from beginning to end. Only when she saw the two of them interlocking their hands did a dark light flash across his eyes.

There seemed to be some inexplicable tacit understanding between them. One look at each other, and they could easily understand each other’s feelings.

It was as if an invisible barrier surrounded the two of them alone. Nobody was allowed to enter.

Now that a powerful enemy had arrived and danger was right in front of her, her expression was still calm.

Her beautiful eyebrows relaxed, and her frown and smile seemed to have a unique charm. But compared to before, she was gentler and more naive.

Of course, that was a young girl’s expression which only appeared when she looked at the person beside her.

Like a dusty pearl, it finally bloomed.

Jun Jiuqing looked away and clenched his hands in his sleeves. He lowered his eyes slightly to hide the waves in them.

“Master Yi, why have you brought people here today?” Rong Xiu’s gaze paused on Jun Jiuqing for a moment before he gazed at Yi Wentao.

Yi Wentao smiled. “His Grace, don’t misunderstand. We’re actually here today to do business with you.”

Rong Xiu raised his brows. “Oh? I don’t know what business I have with the Yi family?”

Yi Wentao’s expression was as usual as he smiled faintly. “To be honest, we’ve taken a fancy to this Peach Blossom Dock.”

Chu Liuyue’s glabella throbbed.

“As long as you’re willing to give up Peach Blossom Dock, you can state your conditions.”

His attitude was polite, and his expression was gentle. However, this sentence almost made Chu Liuyue laugh in anger. So the Yi family is here for Peach Blossom Dock?! He sounds generous, but he didn’t ask first if I’m willing.

Previously, she had even chatted with Rong Xiu and said that after this, those who coveted Peach Blossom Dock would probably take action. However, they didn’t expect that the Yi family would be the first to attack!

When Rong Xiu heard this, he smiled faintly. “Peach Blossom Dock belongs to Yue’er. If you want it, she’s the one you should look for.”

Yi Wentao was stunned. I had always thought that most of the rumors outside were fake and that a mere girl like Chu Liuyue probably didn’t have the ability to take down Peach Blossom Dock.

He thought Rong Xiu must’ve taken action later—that was why he directly told Rong Xiu what he had just said. However, he didn’t expect Rong Xiu’s attitude to be so straightforward and clear.

Peach Blossom Dock belonged to Chu Liuyue! The decision on how to deal with Peach Blossom Dock was also in her hands!

Yi Wentao’s heart was pounding. I know Rong Xiu a little. If he really had taken over Peach Blossom Dock, he would’ve rejected my suggestion. However, he actually deferred the decision to Chu Liuyue… Is this to lift her up in front of everyone, or… Did she really take down Peach Blossom Dock?

Yi Wentao wasn’t sure.

In comparison, he was actually more afraid of Rong Xiu. As for Chu Liuyue, he didn’t take her seriously.

But if all of this Is really as the rumors say, and the huge Peach Blossom Dock was taken down by her alone, then… I’m going to have to re-evaluate her.

However, Yi Wentao wasn’t an ordinary person. After being rejected by Rong Xiu, he smiled at Chu Liuyue. “My apologies. I wonder what the Princess Consort means—”

“Impossible,” Chu Liuyue said decisively before Yi Wentao could finish. Are you kidding me? I’ve spent so much effort and experienced life and death! It hasn’t been easy for me to turn Peach Blossom Dock into my territory. How could I give it up?

Yi Wentao paused.

Actually, he had already expected her reaction and attitude. If it were anyone else, they would’ve rejected him the same, let alone her.

However, he was in no hurry. “Princess Consort, why are you in such a hurry to reject me? Perhaps… our conditions can persuade you?”

Chu Liuyue narrowed her eyes and smiled. “Oh? Then, I want to hear what conditions you plan to give.”

Peach Blossom Dock was vast and had extremely abundant natural energy. More importantly, this place was directly connected to one of the God Residence Realm’s entrances and allowed people to enter and exit the God Residence Realm freely!

Such a treasure land was completely priceless! What else in the world could compare to it?

…

On the other side, when the Nan family heard this, their reactions were also different. Oh, right! How could we have forgotten that Peach Blossom Dock is almost a priceless treasure!? Previously, we had only thought of revenge and had forgotten this important point! If we can seize Peach Blossom Dock, then…

Some people were restless. Some of them began to look at Nan Yifan frequently to check his intentions.

But at this moment, Nan Yifan’s face was as cold as ice. Other than anger and resentment, there was nothing else.

He doesn’t seem to be interested in Peach Blossom Dock; all his attention is still on revenge.

That’s true. He’s the one who has lost his son and now has no descendants. Naturally, he is also the one who feels terrible.

Although the others were also angry, they were still inferior to Nan Yifan.

Some people were tempted, but they suppressed it unwillingly. Even if we can defeat Rong Xiu, Chu Liuyue, and the others, how can we compete with the Yi family?

The two families were originally on par, but after the previous blow, the current Nan family probably couldn’t fight the Yi family head-on.

The other party had brought ten legendary warriors this time! They were determined to get Peach Blossom Dock!

Hearing her question, Yi Wentao seemed to smile. “His Grace and Princess Consort, as well as the lives of countless cultivators in Peach Blossom Dock. Is this enough to exchange for Peach Blossom Dock?”
