Su Jiuli ignored Liu Xingyuan, who was kneeling and kowtowing, and instead glanced down at the bustling lobby. Finding no one he was looking for, he looked toward a private room on the third floor. His voice was still gentle, and his smile was still handsome. However, no one was in the mood to appreciate his good looks. Instead, they were all wide-eyed and listening intently to see what he would do next.

"Fellow Daoists of Lanhua Heavenly Palace, having watched this good show for so long, would you be so kind as to do me a small favor?"

"People from Lanhua Heavenly Palace are here too?"

When did this happen?

"Of course they are! After all, the Thousand Mountains Secret Realm only opens once every hundred years, and a major sect like Blue Flower Heavenly Palace would definitely send its disciples here for training!"

"How many disciples from major sects do you think are in the private rooms upstairs?"

Who knows!

...

The moment Su Jiuli finished speaking, a window of a private room on the third floor was pushed open, and a male cultivator dressed in a light blue robe appeared before everyone's eyes. He smiled and clasped his hands towards Su Jiuli on the second floor, saying, "Fellow Daoist Su, I am Ning Fan from the Blue Flower Heavenly Palace. I humbly apologize to you both on behalf of the Liu family for what happened today!"

After saying that, he looked at Liu Xingyuan, who was kneeling on the ground: "Patriarch Liu, I remember that you have a shop in your city that is doing quite well. Quickly take out the land deed and apologize to the two fellow Daoists from Tianling Sect!"

Ye Sisi was very dissatisfied with this person's actions. Didn't she hear her senior brother say that she wanted to ask him for a favor, not to handle today's matter? It seems that Lan Hua Tian Palace doesn't take their Tian Ling Sect seriously at all, daring to disregard what her senior brother said!

Su Jiuli patted her head reassuringly, his smile still gentle, but his words seemed extremely incongruous with his mild appearance: "Who do you think you are? Did I ask you to speak?"

Everyone...

As expected, the people of the Heavenly Spirit Sect are as domineering as rumored.

Ning Fan's face turned pale and then red. Their Blue Flower Heavenly Palace was the second-ranked sect in the Cangxuan Continent. When they went out, everyone would be obsequious and try to please them. This Heavenly Spirit Sect really didn't take them seriously!

"What kind of thing is your Heavenly Spirit Sect? How dare you speak to our Senior Brother Ning like that!"

"That's right, that's right! Quickly apologize to Senior Brother Ning!"

...

This time, it was Ning Fan's junior disciples who spoke up. They were all only at the Qi Refining stage, and two of them were even only at the third level of Qi Refining. They were probably new to the sect. The two youngest disciples were the ones who were shouting the loudest.

Ning Fan's face darkened even more. Didn't they see that he hadn't said anything? These guys are really fearless!

Although they knew that the Heavenly Spirit Sect was not to be trifled with, they could not allow the dignity of the Blue Flower Heavenly Palace to be trampled on. So they said with a serious face, "Fellow Daoist Su, are you really unwilling to back down?"

Su Jiuli didn't speak, but with a slight lift of her well-defined fingers, Ning Fan let out a scream, and his storage ring flew into Su Jiuli's hand.

Ye Sisi thought to herself, "Well done!"

With a gentle flick of Su Jiuli's wrist, the divine sense imprint on the spatial ring disappeared. Ning Fan's face paled even more, and his voice became somewhat shrill: "What are you trying to do? Are the people of the Heavenly Spirit Sect bandits? Do you perhaps want to start a war with our Blue Flower Heavenly Palace!"

Su Jiuli remained unhurried and showed no intention of paying him any attention. Ye Sisi thought that this senior brother was incredibly handsome!

Look at those disciples of the Blue Flower Heavenly Palace across the way. They have none of the composure expected of a major sect. Not only is their emotional intelligence low, but their IQ is also low! She is worried about the future of the Blue Flower Heavenly Palace.

Su Jiuli took out a jade pendant of emerald green from Ning Fan's spatial ring. It was engraved with exquisite runes and should be a magic artifact.

Ye Sisi saw him inject a wisp of spiritual power into it, then put the jade tablet back into the spatial ring. After doing all that, he tossed the spatial ring back to Ning Fan opposite him as if nothing had happened.

Seeing his belongings back in his hands, Ning Fan felt both joy and immense humiliation. However, his opponent was a Nascent Soul cultivator, and he, a Golden Core cultivator, was no match for him. He could only remain silent in silence.

Ye Sisi asked curiously, "Senior Brother, what did you just do?"

Su Jiuli explained with a smile, "That was a communication jade tablet. As long as you're not inside a secret realm, you can transmit your voice even from a thousand miles away. I just told True Person Jiuhua what happened here!"

Ye Sisi nodded, then blinked and smiled, "Senior Brother, could you give me a communication jade token?"

Su Jiuli flicked her forehead: "You!"

Ye Sisi stuck out her tongue. She had wanted a magical artifact that could transmit messages for a long time, but she hadn't thought of it before. Now was the perfect opportunity.

"Wait two more days. I still have two formations to finish inscribing on the communication jade tablet I gave you!"

Ye Sisi glanced at Su Jiuli's face, and finding nothing amiss, nodded: "Okay, Senior Brother!"

Ning Fan's face turned even paler after hearing Su Jiuli's message to Master Jiuhua. Master Jiuhua was his master, and although he was also a direct disciple, he was not particularly favored by his master. If this matter escalated to the sect, he would probably be implicated as well!

At this moment, his disciples behind him were still shouting and cursing, and he couldn't help but yell, "Shut up, all of you!"

One of the girls, around ten years old, looked at him with disbelief. This senior brother, who usually spoke softly to her, was actually yelling at her!

Sure enough, his shout silenced the entire Drunken Immortal Abode.

Su Jiuli first settled her bill with the innkeeper, and then said to Liu Xingyuan, who was still kneeling, "Patriarch Liu, these are the fine wines and dishes that my junior sister specially ordered to entertain you. Don't forget to eat them later. Oh, and don't forget to compensate the people who broke these tables, chairs and tableware!"

Of course, the Liu family head paid for the food himself! It was just that they were the ones hosting, and the guests paid for it themselves.

After saying that, he left Zuixianju with Ye Sisi. Su Qian eagerly approached, bowed and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoists, I am Su Qian. I feel particularly at ease with you two. Would you do me the honor of staying at the Su family for a few days? I would like to extend my hospitality to you!"

Ye Sisi couldn't help but smile as she looked at his bright and cheerful face. This young master of the Su family was probably overjoyed and his invitation to them must have come from the bottom of his heart. So she looked up at Su Jiuli.

After thinking for a moment, Su Jiuli asked, "Junior Sister, would you like to go?"

"I'll do whatever my senior brother says!"

Su Jiuli glanced at Su Qian, who was looking at him with eyes full of admiration, and smiled gently: "Then I'll trouble you!" He also had something he wanted to talk to the head of the Su family about.

And so, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Su Jiuli and Ye Sisi went to the Su family, the second most powerful family in Qianshan City.

"Do you think the Su family wouldn't side with the Heavenly Spirit Sect?"

"Who knows? The Liu family is so arrogant just because they've got their backing from the Blue Flower Heavenly Palace!"

"But the Heavenly Spirit Sect seems a bit unreliable. I've heard they're quite poor!"

"Don't talk nonsense. Look at the demeanor of those two today. In my opinion, the reason why the Heavenly Spirit Sect has so few people and such a small territory is because the sect leader is lazy!"

"Oh dear, if the Su family really does align themselves with the Heavenly Spirit Sect, then Thousand Mountain City is going to be quite a spectacle!"
