A moment later, Fangcun gathered in the reception room of Tianqing Pavilion.
Du Yuan and Wan Lingmo hadn't been seated for long when a young man came over with a smile on his face. "Excuse me for waiting, my two disciples of Fengyue Sect."
Du Yuan's expression changed slightly when he saw the man. He stood up, bowed, and said, "It's Deputy Pavilion Master Liu in person. Junior Du Yuan, I greet Master Liu."
Wan Lingmo didn't recognize the young man. When he heard his senior brother's words, he was so surprised that he immediately stood up and saluted.
A person at the level of the deputy leader of Tianqing Pavilion can be said to be in a high position and have great power. He is at least in the late Jindan stage of cultivation, and is no worse than the peak masters of the five major sects.
"It turned out to be Master Du."
The young man suddenly realized, "How is your uncle, Master Du, these days?"
As soon as these words were spoken, a hearty laugh rang out from outside the door: "Thank you for your concern, Vice Pavilion Master Liu. I'm doing very well."
A middle-aged man who looked quite similar to Du Yuan strode over. He was wearing a green robe and had only a wooden hairpin in his bun, which made him look elegant and gentle.
When the young man saw the middle-aged man, he frowned slightly, then greeted him with a smile, "Master Du is very fast, he always arrives the fastest."
"Fastest?"
The middle-aged man's smile faded a little. "From what the Deputy Pavilion Master said, is there anyone else coming?"
"Du Baili, if you can come, why can't I?"
An old man in a plain robe followed closely behind, his face full of murderous intent.
Behind him, Dong Jinghuan and Lin Beilan followed on his left and right, also with serious expressions and no smiles on their faces.
The old man in white robes looked at Du Baili and snorted coldly: "The descendants of the Lu family are from my Blazing Flame Sect, you shouldn't be here!"
"Zhao Heng?"
Du Baili narrowed his eyes slightly, then burst into laughter. "Master Zhao has always been unconcerned about everything, so why do you always find yourself trapped because of your disciple? When Lu Jin died, you were too far away to reach him, and you felt uneasy. Are you trying to find some comfort in his family?"
Zhao Heng laughed instead of getting angry. "So what? Some people pin their hopes on my nephew because their only son died at the hands of my disciple. We're both equally matched, so let's not laugh at each other!"
After these words were spoken, Du Baili and Du Yuan's faces turned ugly.
Du Baili was about to speak when he saw a young man come out to smooth things over, saying, "You two, business is urgent. It would be bad if you were late."
"And you, Liu Huang!"
Du Baili looked at the young man with a cold face, "Deputy Pavilion Master Liu, what you did was very dishonest. The price of finding the Lu family's demon girl was paid by my Fengyue Sect. What right do they, the Chiyan Sect, have to interfere?"
"Master Du is wrong. I am being wronged."
Liu Huang looked helpless. "I'm a businessman. Who doesn't know the value of the Lu family's demon girl? Long before Master Du Xiao came here, our company had already been tracking her whereabouts, and only just now did we find any results. As for which side she belongs to, we still have to follow the rules."
As soon as he said this, an old voice suddenly rang out from outside the door, "Could it be that Deputy Pavilion Master Liu's rule is that the highest bidder wins?"
Bang!
The dragon-headed cane made a crisp sound as it rested against the bluestone floor.
An old woman with gray hair and a hunched body stepped over the threshold. Seeing the person inside, a smile appeared on her wrinkled face. "I'm late, Deputy Pavilion Master Liu. I wonder if there's still room for Baihua Valley to get involved in this business?"
"As Tianqing Pavilion is doing business, we will naturally not turn away customers."
Liu Huang smiled faintly, "Please forgive my poor eyesight. I'm a stranger to you, senior. I don't know how to address you."
The old woman chuckled and said, "I am Leng Shuixian, but a flowery old woman beside the Valley Master. I am not worth mentioning."
Liu Huang's eyes suddenly fixed, "So it's the Valley Master's personal attendant. I apologize for being so rude in front of Old Lady Leng."
"It's okay. I rarely go out, so it's normal that Vice Pavilion Master Liu doesn't recognize me."
The old woman waved her hand, her cloudy eyes rolling around, looking at Zhao Heng and Du Baili. "The descendants of the Lu family are female cultivators, so it's most appropriate for them to cultivate in my Hundred Flowers Valley."
"joke."
Du Baili sneered, "There are so many female cultivators in the world. Could it be that your Hundred Flowers Valley has taken over all of them? Aunt Leng, let's be frank. The descendants of the Lu family are all interested in controlling Xuanwang City. You can't fool them with just a few twisted words."
Leng Shuixian was not angry at being squeezed, but just smiled and said: "Master Du has such a hot temper, it seems out of place with this green shirt."
"Since the three of you can't reach an agreement, why not make an offer?"
Liu Huang said with a smile: "The descendant of the Lu family is already in our grasp. Once she leaves Fangcunji, she will be captured immediately. If we delay, things will get worse. It is best for you all to make a decision soon."
Du Baili was silent for a moment, then spoke first, "A mid-grade spirit stone mine with an output of around 100,000 cubic meters. The Lu family's demon lady is quite wealthy, but Fengyue Sect doesn't want any of it. It will all belong to Tianqing Pavilion. We only want the Lu family demon lady herself."
Wei Leyan, who had come in to watch the fun at some point, couldn't help but be astonished when he heard this. The Fengyue Sect was indeed rich and powerful, and they could get a mineral vein whenever they wanted.
"My Blazing Flame Sect cannot compare to the Fengyue Sect in terms of wealth."
Zhao Heng's expression was serious. He said in a deep voice, "The Lu family is a guest in Xuanwang City, not the host! The Lu family's descendants were able to control Xuanwang City by chance. I can make the decision for her. I can tell her how to control Xuanwang City and auction it off to the Tianqing Pavilion. My Chiyan Sect will not be involved. I only ask that the Lu family's descendants be brought back to the sect and carefully cared for."
"Zhao Heng, your calculations are a bit too loud."
Du Baili sneered, "Taking away the descendants of the Lu family is equivalent to knowing how to control Xuanwang City. Naturally, they don't have to participate in the auction."
Zhao Heng pursed his lips. "If the Tianqing Pavilion can avoid harming her, they can search her soul and then erase her memories, gaining exclusive control over Xuanwang City. In this way, the descendant of the Lu family will be nothing more than an ordinary princess with ordinary talents, nothing special. Du Baili, do you have anything else to say?"
