Chapter 138: Change of Ownership

“Hehe, who would have thought? Even in Linjiang City, my dear cousin maintains such elegance, turning the second floor into something so lavish.”“Is this the reason why the Treasure Gathering Pavilion in Linjiang City has been incurring losses recently?”

On the second floor of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, a person dressed in luxurious attire looked around.

Then, he turned to Feng Qingya, who was sitting opposite him, and spoke.

The speaker was a young man who appeared to be around twenty-two or twenty-three years old.

He wore a green robe and was reasonably handsome.

There was even a faint resemblance between his eyebrows and those of Feng Qingya.

He was none other than Feng Mingyan, one of the direct descendants of the Feng family.

At this moment, when Feng Mingyan spoke, there was an unusual fervor in his eyes as he looked at Feng Qingya.

Seeing Feng Qingya remain silent, Feng Mingyan continued, “Cousin, you must have received the news by now, right?”

“Since Fengma City is not far from here, when do you plan to leave?”

“Or perhaps you intend to stay in Linjiang City to help your little brother?”

“If you serve well, I might even put in a good word for you with the Grand Elder.”

“Maybe you’ll be transferred to a better place.”

Feng Mingyan’s words were filled with mockery, even bordering on blasphemy.

Upon hearing this, Mu Lao, who stood behind Feng Qingya, suddenly had a sharp look in his eyes.

However, before Mu Lao could do anything, Feng Qingya smiled.

“I am already aware of the situation, and since my dear brother wants the position of the Linjiang City branch master, it is only right for me to give it to you.”

“I will always comply with the family’s arrangements, so you can rest assured.”

After a pause, not giving Feng Mingyan a chance to speak, she continued, “But there’s one thing you should be careful about. This is, after all, the territory of the Evil Moon Sect’s branch.”

“Dealing with the demonic path’s business can be quite tricky.”

“Be careful when dealing with them.”

Feng Qingya’s words were calm throughout, revealing none of her true thoughts.

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned to look at Mu Lao standing behind her.

“Mu Lao, since Brother Mingyan and his people are already here, we should leave.”

With that, Feng Qingya stood up.

She didn’t even glance at the second floor’s surroundings.

She bypassed Feng Mingyan and his group, heading directly to the staircase.

Mu Lao, momentarily stunned, followed her silently, wanting to say something but refraining.

“Wait!”

Just as Feng Qingya was about to go downstairs, Feng Mingyan, who was still sitting, called out to her with a frown.

However, before he could say anything further, Feng Qingya turned back and smiled, “Before coming here, Brother Mingyan must have already gathered all the information about the Linjiang City Treasure Gathering Pavilion, right?”

“Rest assured, I have adhered to the rules and haven’t taken any public property of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.”

“There is nothing more to hand over.”

“I just hope Brother Mingyan will manage the Linjiang City branch well and make it thrive.”

“Who knows, this Linjiang City branch might become one of the most important branches in Qingzhou in the future.”

After saying this, Feng Qingya didn’t say another word.

Feng Qingya descended the stairs without hesitation.

Her words seemed merely like a caring reminder to Feng Mingyan.

“Bang!”

After Feng Qingya and Mu Lao had completely descended the stairs, Feng Mingyan’s face suddenly turned grim.

The fine spirit wood table in front of him was shattered into powder with a single slap.

This time, he had come prepared, yet it felt like punching a cotton pillow.

Feng Qingya hadn’t shown any reaction, her calm demeanor was extremely vexing.

He had not only come to take over the Linjiang City branch but also to witness Feng Qingya’s reluctance and anger.

However, none of this happened.

He even intended to use certain matters to subjugate Feng Qingya under him.

After all, he had long desired Feng Qingya’s alluring figure.

Even though she was his cousin, he didn’t mind at all.

To him, aside from those who gave birth to him and those he gave birth to, everyone else was dispensable!

But this time, Feng Qingya hadn’t even glanced at him properly.

Seeing Feng Mingyan’s anger, an elderly man in black beside him spoke up:

“Young Master Mingyan, there’s no need to be angry. Actually, it’s a good thing that they retreated so sensibly.”

“After all, taking over the Linjiang City branch is our ultimate goal.”

“And if a fight had broken out, Mu Lao by her side would not have been easy to deal with.”

“My attention has been on that guy just now, and I actually felt a little oppressive from him, as if his strength has improved during this period of time.”

This elderly man in black, like Mu Lao, was Feng Mingyan’s protector. Seaʀᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Hearing his words, Feng Mingyan calmed down a bit but said, “I still feel something is off. Feng Qingya was too calm.”

At this time, another young man in luxurious clothes beside him laughed and said:

“Brother Feng, why bother? As long as she hands over the branch obediently, it’s the best outcome.”

“You know what Fengma City is like.”

“Going there is akin to cutting off all resources.”

“After staying there for a few days, she might come back to beg you.”

Feng Mingyan nodded slightly, “That makes sense.”

…

Feng Qingya and Mu Lao walked straight out of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

There was indeed no trace of reluctance on their faces.

At this moment, Mu Lao frowned again, looking at Feng Qingya and asking, “Miss, what should we do now?”

Although Mu Lao was powerful and had the impulse to drive Feng Mingyan and his group away earlier, the thought only lasted for a moment.

He might be able to deal with Feng Mingyan’s group but definitely couldn’t challenge the Feng family’s authority.

If he did, it would only harm Feng Qingya.

Hearing this, Feng Qingya showed a bitter smile.

“As we discussed earlier, we won’t go to Fengma City for now.”

“We have no choice but to seek refuge elsewhere in Linjiang City.”

As she said this, Feng Qingya headed directly towards the Evil Moon Sect.

At this moment, a hint of unwillingness and helplessness finally appeared on her face.

Although her figure remained graceful, it now seemed somewhat frail.

Mu Lao sighed softly in his heart.

He knew that the calmness Feng Qingya had shown earlier was merely to avoid showing weakness in front of her enemies.

Knowing that nothing could be done, not fighting was the best protection for Feng Qingya.

After all, when she was in the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, no matter how hysterical or resentful she was, it wouldn’t change the facts.

At the gate of the Evil Moon Sect, although there were guards, they recognized Feng Qingya and Mu Lao.

They didn’t dare to stop them and even greeted them politely.

Once inside the Evil Moon Sect, Feng Qingya navigated her way skillfully towards Su Jingzhen’s courtyard.
