Chapter 328: Offering a Gift

After Shen Yifeng left, the numerous Golden Core demon cultivators who had rushed over upon hearing the news also bowed to Luo Yuebai and Su Jingzhen before quietly withdrawing. For these Golden Core demon cultivators, avoiding conflict with the Alchemist Association was a good thing.

At the entrance of Xuening’s courtyard, only Su Jingzhen, Luo Yuebai, Feng Qingya, and Master Mu remained.

Master Mu glanced at the young people before him and a smile appeared on his lips.

“Miss, just call me if you need anything.”

After speaking, he stepped out and quietly disappeared.

After Master Mu left, Su Jingzhen felt the atmosphere at the scene become strangely different again.

He still didn’t know about the mutual animosity between Luo Yuebai and Feng Qingya.

As for Xuening, she was even more oblivious, having just arrived at the Evil Moon Sect and immediately entered seclusion.

At this moment, Xuening smiled and said, “Brother Su, elder sisters, what are you standing here for?

Come, let’s have a chat in the courtyard.”

Without the presence of those from the Alchemist Association, Xuening felt no pressure.

Luo Yuebai and the others nodded, not rejecting Xuening’s proposal.

Soon, the group arrived at a pavilion in the courtyard and sat down.

Xuening’s courtyard was not staffed with servants. She personally brewed tea for the three of them.

As the fragrant tea rose, Feng Qingya could no longer hold back.

Regardless of Luo Yuebai’s attitude towards her, she directly asked Luo Yuebai and Su Jingzhen:

“Have you truly subjugated the Spiritual Medicine Sect?”

Hearing her words, a smile appeared on Su Jingzhen’s lips.

He glanced at Luo Yuebai, then had no intention of hiding anything from her.

“When we returned from Yunmeng City last time, we passed through Tianning City and took care of it casually.

Of course, it wasn’t that we actively wanted to subdue them, but the Tianning City Spiritual Medicine Sect saw that our Linjiang City Evil Moon Sect had great development potential and came to us willingly.”

Although the wording was different, it was essentially the truth.

Xuening smiled without saying a word.

Feng Qingya blinked her eyes, clearly not believing his explanation.

But her heart was quite shocked. No matter what methods the Evil Moon Sect used, the fact that the Spiritual Medicine Sect had been subdued by them was undeniable.

She knew that once this news spread, it would definitely cause a stir in the Qingzhou region, and even some existing power structures would be directly altered.

Forcibly suppressing the shock in her heart, Feng Qingya felt even more fortunate that she had chosen to side with the Evil Moon Sect earlier.

“It seems that what Master Su said to those from the Alchemist Association last time was not an exaggeration.

The Evil Moon Sect does have the potential to become the third largest alchemy group in the Qingzhou region.”

As she mused, Feng Qingya completely abandoned any thoughts of trying to win Xuening’s heart.

She then turned her gaze to Luo Yuebai.

Her face still wore that signature seductive smile.

She directly took out a pale gray storage ring.

“Last time in Yunmeng City, Senior Shen took Xuening and Master Su away very suddenly. My Feng family hadn’t had time to announce it to the world. Thank you the Evil Moon Sect for your help.

So before coming here, my ancestor took out many treasures from the treasure vault. Although these things may not be valuable to the Evil Moon Sect, they are still a token of my Feng family’s goodwill.

Consider it a congratulatory gift from the Feng family to the rise of the Evil Moon Sect’s alchemists.”

As she spoke, Feng Qingya didn’t mention their previous confrontation at all.

It was as if nothing had happened between them.

As soon as she finished speaking, Feng Qingya placed the gray storage ring on the table in front of her.

Her eyes flickered with anticipation.

Xuening and Su Jingzhen instinctively exchanged glances at her actions.

Although they were somewhat surprised, they could understand.

However, Luo Yuebai’s face still held a smile, but her eyes narrowed slightly.

Their confrontation had been subtle.

Su Jingzhen and Xuening were unaware, and hadn’t even noticed it until now.

Luo Yuebai knew very well that Feng Qingya’s gift was actually a test for her.

If she, Luo Yuebai, accepted it, it would be equivalent to accepting Feng Qingya’s goodwill.

Their rivalry would end there.

The cooperation between the Evil Moon Sect and the Treasure Gathering Pavilion could return to normal.

Luo Yuebai remained silent and didn’t reach for the storage ring on the table.

The atmosphere between the two women seemed to become even more eerie.

At this moment, both Su Jingzhen and Xuening had a look of surprise on their faces.

At this moment, Su Jingzhen finally noticed that something seemed amiss between the two women.

But before he could speak, Luo Yuebai’s gaze turned to him.

“The matter in Yunmeng City was done by Chief Su on behalf of my Evil Moon Sect.

Since the Feng family has expressed their gratitude, we demonic cultivators don’t need to be overly sentimental.

Chief Su, please accept it.”

Hearing Luo Yuebai’s words, Su Jingzhen was still somewhat puzzled, but he didn’t say much.

After all, he and Xuening were the ones who had taken action.

Moreover, with the Spiritual Medicine Sect moving in, the Dan Hall’s development would require a lot of resources.

It was quite reasonable for him to accept it.

“Then I won’t be disrespectful.”

The storage ring didn’t have any personal imprints on it.

Su Jingzhen didn’t hesitate and put it directly on his finger.

It was just that with his current status, the storage bracelet was indeed a bit low-grade. Seaʀᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

As soon as Su Jingzhen’s spiritual sense entered the storage ring, his heart was startled.

The number and quality of the treasures inside were so numerous and high that he was speechless.

Moreover, most of them were high-grade medicinal herbs.

In Su Jingzhen’s view, although it wasn’t emptying out all the herbs he had seen in the Treasure Vault before, it was at least a third of them.

Good heavens, these things were euphemistically called a gift to the Evil Moon Sect.

But it was clearly intended for Su Jingzhen alone.

This completely overturned Su Jingzhen’s perception of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

But after thinking about it, he understood that this must be Feng Xuan’s doing.

Ancestor-level figures like Feng Xuan didn’t participate in Treasure Gathering Pavilion affairs very often, and they weren’t purely businessmen.

Moreover, the Treasure Gathering Pavilion’s expenditure this time was probably not small for the Evil Moon Sect’s plans.

The Feng family, like Su Jingzhen, probably had immense faith in the future of the Linjiang Branch.

Su Jingzhen thought this way.

However, he didn’t know that the reason the Feng family was so optimistic was not about the Linjiang Branch, but about him, Su Jingzhen.

Although he had many thoughts and was quite shocked, Su Jingzhen kept his composure.

Feng Qingya’s gaze remained fixed on Luo Yuebai.

The smile on her lips gradually widened.

Then she stood up gracefully, “Since that’s the case, then Qingya is relieved. I won’t disturb you any further and will leave now.

In the future, if the Evil Moon Sect needs anything, just cooperate with the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.”

As she spoke, she stood up and walked gracefully towards the outside.

She had understood Luo Yuebai’s meaning.

Feng Qingya let Luo Yuebai accept the ring, but Luo Yuebai didn’t move and instead let Su Jingzhen accept it.

This showed that Luo Yuebai still intended to let the Evil Moon Sect cooperate with the Treasure Gathering Pavilion and maintain the previous relationship.

It was also a way of reciprocating Feng Qingya’s support for them at the Alchemist Association.

But the rivalry between the two of them, Luo Yuebai didn’t intend to end.

Feng Qingya, although still feeling puzzled, was happy to play along.
