Chapter 781: Each Using Their Own Means

Ye Xiaoman saw that Ya Xuening was also holding a visiting card and asked curiously, "Have you also come up with a plan?"

Ya Xuening successfully struck up a conversation with Ye Xiaoman and felt very honored. Despite the pressure of Xiao Chujing's gaze, she kept squeezing closer to Ye Xiaoman and getting close to her.

Ya Xuening wanted to answer ten questions for every one Ye Xiaoman asked, and directly tell her all her cards.

"In reply to your question, we in the Tianxin Sect have come up with a plan. We plan to spend our own spiritual stones to purchase spiritual land from the Tianji Sect and donate it to the Tianyan Sect."

"Hiss--" Everyone in the Qingzheng Sect exclaimed in amazement. This was too rich. No wonder the Tianxin Sect had developed so well over the years with such wealth.

"What if Tianjimen doesn't sell it?"

Ya Xuening said, "That's not a problem. Our elders said that we can give Tianyan Sect a piece of spiritual land of the same size as ours to compensate for their losses."

The eldest sister was pushed away from Ye Xiaoman by Ya Xuening and asked unhappily, "You spent so much money to buy an award, is it worth it?"

"Of course it's worth it," Ya Xuening said, "As long as we can achieve good results in the competition, the subsequent investment will come rolling in, and we will be able to break even soon."

Ye Xiaoman was also envious. Any problem that could be solved with money was not a problem. If the Tianxin Sect could negotiate a cooperation, they would probably take first place.

Ya Xuening invited Ye Xiaoman and the disciples of Qingzheng Sect to go to Tianxin Sect to play after the competition. They all watched the rich girls and rich guys leave together, saying that they were all poor sword practitioners, but their lives were completely different.

Ye Xiaoman and her fellow disciples waited and waited until the sun was about to set. They were the only team left at the gate of Tianji Sect, and there was no sign of Shi Zaixing.

Everyone started to panic.

"Master Shi didn't show up, what should we do?"

"Could it be that the Sect Master's information is false?"

Ye Xiaoman had been waiting for a long time and was already bored to death. "Maybe we missed someone, Senior Sister Mei, what does Shi Zai Xing look like?"

Senior Sister Mei handed over a portrait drawn by the sect leader himself. When Ye Xiaoman saw it, she almost spit out her food. There was a rather abstract stick figure drawn on the scroll. Who could recognize it?

She pointed to the black lines and asked, "What is this?"

"Long hair," Senior Sister Mei leaned over and said, "The Sect Master said that the Sect Master had knee-length hair, was thin and pale, and had an outstanding temperament. He said that if we saw him in person, we would recognize him immediately."

"How could I recognize him?" Ye Xiaoman pointed at the mountain-guarding disciples in the distance. "The people in Tianji Sect imitate their leader and grow their hair long. Now everyone I see is Shi Zai Xing."

The senior brothers and sisters were all helpless. Senior Sister Zhu, who was the most impatient, patted the grass seeds on her butt and stood up, "I don't have the patience to wait any longer."

She walked to the door of the disciple guarding the mountain and directly asked to meet Shi Zaixing.

From a distance, the sound of quarreling could be heard.

The mountain-guarding disciples shouted loudly, "Master Shi won't see guests! Even our leader doesn't see him once a year. Who are you to meet our master?"

Senior Sister Zhu: "Then tell me, when will Sect Master Shi come?"

The disciple guarding the mountain said: "The Sect Master will come? Where did you hear that rumor? We haven't received any official message!"

The last path for Jian Shizaixing was also blocked.

Qing Zhengzong was completely bewildered.

Senior Brother Ju eagerly sought Xiao Chujing's strategy: "Uncle Xiao, should we wait any longer?"

Seeing that other teams around them had already taken action, and that the Qingzheng Sect had wasted a day and achieved nothing, all the monks were very anxious.

Xiao Chujing said, "No."

He stood up, stretched out a palm towards Ye Xiaoman, and pulled her up from the ground. The disciples of Qingzheng Sect followed him and walked to the Tianji Sect disciple who was arguing with Senior Sister Zhu.

Senior Brother Ju quickly handed over the visiting card with the sect leader's personal signature. The disciple guarding the mountain first looked at Ye Xiaoman, took a close look at the nameless sword master who had been rumored to have miraculous skills recently, then looked at the visiting card in his hand and curled his lips.

No matter how unwilling the Tianji Sect is, they must cooperate with the selection and receive all monks who visit peacefully.

He called over the disciple who arranged accommodation and said, "Find them a courtyard to stay in."

He also told the Qingzheng Sect, "You should live well. I advise you not to be deceived by the Tianyan Sect and cause trouble in our sect. Our elders will visit you in person when they are free."

Ye Xiaoman and her fellow disciples were let into the main gate. They saw a row of large trees where the Big Knife Sect, which had caused trouble earlier, had been dealt with. All of them were neatly arranged, hanging upside down from the trees, like beagles that had failed to destroy a house, swinging in the wind.

It is hung at the entrance where people come and go, with the implication of killing the chicken to scare the monkey.

The senior sister is right. We can’t win by just fighting them directly, and it won’t cause any waves.

This matter requires a clever approach.

When they arrived at the residence, all the members of the Qing Zhengzong clan gathered in the flower hall to discuss matters.

After thinking about it during the day, Xiao Chujing deduced a similar strategy.

He said, "We have a plan to get the spiritual contract signed with the Tianyan Sect from the head of the Tianji Sect. As long as the spiritual contract is torn up, the agreement between the two parties will be invalid, and the Tianyan Sect can take back what belongs to them."

This strategy is quite standard and cannot be said to be amazing. Qing Zhengzong is not the only one who has come up with the same idea. The real difficulty lies in how to implement it successfully.

Senior Brother Ju and others had also considered this method during the day and immediately expressed their concerns.

"We came here with such force today that the Tianji Sect's leader must have been prepared for this and anticipated that we would steal the contract. He may have hidden it somewhere where no one else could find it and has heavily guarded it."

"I'm afraid we'll waste seven days and still not be able to find the deed."

Ye Xiaoman said: "We may not have seven days left."

"Oh," said the eldest brother, "today is almost over. There are only six days left."

Ye Xiaoman said, "Maybe even less than six days. As long as the Tianxin Sect and Qianji Sect agree on the purchase price and the Tianyan Sect takes back the spiritual land, this trial will end immediately."

The fellow disciples were reminded: "Oh, it really is."

Ye Xiaoman said, "However, the negotiations between Tianxin Sect and Qianji Sect won't be concluded so quickly. Qianji Sect will definitely take advantage of the situation and ask for a very high purchase price. The two sides will inevitably spend several days bargaining. We still have time."

Xiao Chujing had already considered the relevant aspects of the situation: "We will split into two groups. A few people will sneak into the inner gate with me to find the spiritual contract. The rest of you will continue to think of a solution."

Ye Xiaoman nodded in agreement.

"If we can't think of a good solution, we shouldn't just sit there. We can set up blasting arrays and place explosive talismans in deserted areas of Tianji Sect. If we really can't do anything on the last day, we can imitate the Big Knife Sect and start a fight to help the Tianyan Sect vent their anger and get some points."
