Chapter 66 Mantis



A moment later, in the VIP room of Tianqing Pavilion.

An old man with a peaceful face and white beard pushed the door open and saw Xiang Wanwan sitting by the coffee table, looking very uncomfortable. Then he saw that the teacup beside her was already empty, so he immediately greeted her with a chuckle.

"Excuse me, distinguished guest. I am the manager of the Tianqing Pavilion here. My surname is Wang. May I know what your name is?"

Xiang Wanwan felt relieved upon seeing the old man's kind face. She stood up and said, "Please excuse me, Mr. Xiang. Manager Wang, this is an urgent matter. Let's get down to business."

Steward Wang chuckled and personally picked up the kettle to add a cup of tea for Xiang Wanwan. He nodded and said, "Miss Xiang is a straightforward person, which is exactly what I want."

"From my last name, you must know that I am from the Xiang family."

Xiang Wanwan was in high spirits, speaking quickly, "The Blazing Flame Master visited the Xiang family today. I accidentally learned that this is a chance for a great immortal. I beg for a small favor and spread the word!"

Upon hearing this, Steward Wang's cloudy eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance. His smile faded slightly as he said, "Young lady, since you are a member of the Xiang family, why do you want to make things difficult for your own family? Aren't you afraid that the Xiang family head will find out about you?"

"When doing things at the Tianqing Pavilion, do you have to get to the bottom of it?"

Xiang Wanwan looked surprised. "This matter will be effortless for your lordship, and it will also earn you a lot of favors. I will present the benefits to the steward, and he only needs to accept them."

"Miss Xiang, you are wrong."

Steward Wang shook his head and said, "The so-called favor depends on who you are offering it to. If the favor you gain is not as great as the hatred you will incur after offending Dong Zhen Chuan, then you will be losing money."

Xiang Wanwan's expression changed slightly. "Manager Wang, are you rejecting me?"

"Miss, please be patient. When did I ever say no?"

Steward Wang smiled kindly, "I'm just telling you the pros and cons of this. The risks we bear are no less than yours."

Xiang Wanwan bit her lip, her arrogance weakening. "Then what do you think, Manager? I only have a few hundred spirit stones, so I can't afford a high price."

When Manager Wang heard this, he was immediately surprised.

This woman is truly ignorant of the ways of the world and extremely foolish. She's offered such a great gift, yet she's still thinking of paying for it?

He laughed secretly in his heart, but frowned on the surface. After a moment of silence, he said, "Girl, how do you think about this?

We will each take a step back. Seeing that it is not easy for the young lady to cultivate, I will not accept her spirit stones. However, the transmission of this message will have to be discounted. It cannot be announced to the world, and can only be done in secret. This way, we can avoid the censure of the Blazing Flame True Transmission, and the price will not be too high.

"Acting in secret?"

Xiang Wanwan was confused. "What do you mean?"

Steward Wang smiled slightly and said, "My pavilion has quite a few connections. I can secretly inform some monks about the young lady. This way, I can fulfill her wish."

"Not only will we have the Blazing Flame True Instruction on this trip, but the Wan Family will also be sending people."

Xiang Wanwan frowned. "If the person Manager Wang found is useless, wouldn't it be a waste of my trip?"

Manager Wang's eyes flickered for a moment, and he immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss Xiang. The people we are looking for are not easy to deal with. Even if their cultivation is not as good as those two true disciples, we will definitely cause trouble for them."

"That's good."

Xiang Wanwan's brows relaxed slightly, and after a moment's hesitation, her tone softened. "Then I'll trouble Manager Wang to pay close attention to this matter. You must trouble them. If it's convenient, you could also help me kill a mortal woman. That would be even better."

"Mortal girl?"

How could a mortal woman be involved in this opportunity that could reach the level of a Jindan cultivator?

Steward Wang felt strange in his heart, but on the surface he nodded obediently, "I will do my best. Please tell the young lady the name and background of this girl."

"This girl's name is Xiang Sheng!"

Xiang Wanwan couldn't hide the hatred in her words. "She was originally an unfavored illegitimate child of the Xiang family, but she was lucky enough to become an inner disciple of the Blazing Flame Sect. Right now, she is in the Xiang family's Langyuan, living in the same courtyard with Dong Zhenchuan."

After Xiang Sheng's background was revealed, Xiang Wanwan had nothing more to say and immediately said goodbye and left.

As soon as the man left, the smile on Manager Wang's face disappeared instantly, and he looked thoughtful.

The Chiyan Sect and the Fengyue Sect are like water and fire. In this sense, this opportunity is not only about cultivation, but also about the struggle between the Xiangwan and Wan families and the two sects.

It is the iron rule of Tianqing Pavilion to never get involved in such troubles.

However, the quality of monks in Xiangcheng is mixed, and there is no way to make friends with true disciples in Tianqing Pavilion. He has been here for too long.

If this matter is used well, perhaps Wang Tiechun can make a true disciple and move to a more prosperous market.

Thinking of this, he ordered his servant: "Collect all the monks who have been active within a hundred miles in the past month."

"yes!"

The servant agreed and walked away quickly.

In less than half an hour, the servant presented a jade slip.

Wang Tiechun rolled up the jade slip from his sleeve and placed it between his eyebrows for a moment. His closed eyes suddenly opened, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Just after noon, Xiang's family had assembled. Hundreds of people boarded the spirit boat and headed for the cave together. Xiang Sheng was among them.

On the deck of the spirit boat, Xiang Sheng glanced at the elite members of the Xiang family around him, his eyes narrowed slightly.

There were actually quite a few familiar faces among them, all of whom were independent cultivators that I had met in Xuanwang City last time, and they all belonged to a Jindan independent cultivator named Li Jude.

Xiang Wenli is indeed Li Jude.

"The Xiang family has a lot of offerings, as many as three hundred people."

On the other side, Dong Jing Huanzhen was manipulating the spirit boat in front of the formation. He smiled politely and said, "As I recall, the Xiang family only has a small spirit stone mine. How can they afford so many offerings?"
