At the foot of Jinping Peak, Ye Wuyang was staring at the way down the mountain, his heart burning with anxiety.
Yesterday, Ye Wuyang heard from Zhu Xiaozhao that Wen Ziqing had returned to Yushan Sect, and a bold idea flashed through his mind: he wanted to please Wen Ziqing and join Jinping Peak.
In the Yushan Sect, if Xiaoyao Peak, under the Sect Master's jurisdiction, is considered the most prestigious of all peaks, Jinping Peak is undoubtedly the "Second Peak." The benefits afforded to Jinping Peak disciples are even better than those of Xiaoyao Peak. Inner disciples of Jinping Peak receive not only their monthly allocation of training resources, but also bonus spirit beads during festivals. Even among outer disciples, Jinping Peak's outer disciples enjoy a much more comfortable life than those of their counterparts at other peaks.
Furthermore, everyone in the Yushan Sect had previously said that Wen Ziqing deeply loved his fiancée, He Jingjing, and that they were always seen together wherever they went. With He Jingjing in hand, if Ye Wuyang could seize this opportunity to become an inner disciple of Jinping Peak, it would be like a dead tree coming back to life.
The more Ye Wuyang thought about it, the brighter the fire of hope burned in his heart.
Upon seeing He Jingjing at the entrance to the secret realm, Ye Wuyang was surprised and wondered if He Jingjing possessed some magical weapon that concealed her cultivation, allowing her to evade detection at the secret realm's gate. After all, He Jingjing's fiancé was Wen Ziqing, the renowned "Duobao Monk" of the Yushan Sect. The cultivation resources that Taoist Baopu had bequeathed to Wen Ziqing were the envy of all Yushan Sect disciples.
If He Jingjing really has such a magic weapon, it must be priceless!
Everyone in the Yushan Sect who paid attention knew about Wen Ziqing's previous trip to the secular world, and Ye Wuyang and Xie Hanshi were no exception. In their excitement, Ye Wuyang and Xie Hanshi knocked He Jingjing and Yun Shang unconscious and dragged them into the secret realm.
Ye Wuyang and Xie Hanshi were already prepared to kill people and steal the treasure, but they searched He Jingjing and Yun Shang's bodies, and found no magic weapons, not even a single spirit pearl.
Ye Wuyang's dream of getting rich was shattered, and when he heard that Wen Ziqing had returned to the secret realm, he was almost scared to death.
Fortunately, He Jingjing was unconscious the entire time, so Ye Wuyang was able to curry favor with Wen Ziqing without telling Xie Hanshi. Ye Wuyang had even planned the follow-up. As long as Wen Ziqing was willing to see him, he would say that it was Xie Hanshi who kidnapped He Jingjing, and he would be a "true hero" who helped others. In this way, with He Jingjing's status in Wen Ziqing's heart, Wen Ziqing would definitely be grateful to him and even offer to repay him...
While waiting for someone, Ye Wuyang was thinking about what he would say when he saw Wen Ziqing. After waiting for more than half an hour, he finally saw Yuzhu who had arrived late.
"Master Steward Yuzhu, what did the Peak Master say?" Ye Wuyang stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Yuzhu, then looked at her expectantly. Ye Wuyang was very respectful to Yuzhu. Although Yuzhu was only a menial disciple, she was fortunate to have been deeply loved by two generations of Peak Masters at Jinping Peak! When Wen Ziqing was away, Yuzhu could be the home of Jinping Peak.
"Ye Wuyang, how dare you come and harm me?" Yuzhu glared at Ye Wuyang with a look that was as if it was filled with poison. Yuzhu felt that just now in front of the Qingzhu Cottage, Wen Ziqing had looked at him as if he were an idiot. Yuzhu really regretted having passed on the message on behalf of Ye Wuyang.
"What are you talking about, Chief Steward? Even if God gave me ten courages, I would not dare to come and deceive you, Chief Steward Yuzhu!" Ye Wuyang was a little frightened when he saw Yuzhu's displeasure.
"Our peak master and his wife are on the mountain. You asked me to deceive the peak master. If that's not harming me, what is that?" Yuzhu said angrily.
"What? Impossible, He Jingjing is still with me..." When Ye Wuyang said this, he thought of a possibility and his face turned pale.
Could it be that... Master Wenfeng has fallen in love with someone else so quickly?
"General Manager Yuzhu, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I apologize to you here. I hope you won't blame me." Ye Wuyang gritted his teeth and bowed deeply to Yuzhu.
"Alright, alright, forget it this time. Next time, be more discerning and don't let just any random person come to our Jinping Peak." Yuzhu scolded Ye Wuyang and turned back to the mountain. Distracted by Ye Wuyang's question, Yuzhu hadn't had time to report the results of yesterday's "Five Peaks Conference" to Wen Ziqing! Yue Zhenshan of Piaomiao Peak had gone too far; he should have asked the Peak Master to come forward and demand the return of his reduced share of half-finished spirit stones.
After Yuzhu returned to the mountain, she did not find Wen Ziqing.
Wen Ziqing hurried back to the Northern Military Region. Before Zhou Yuanyuan "woke up", Wen Ziqing and Chaos Pearl had already moved everything out of Taoist Baopu's treasure room.
After Zhou Yuanyuan "woke up", Wen Ziqing immediately pulled her away. Anyway, Wen Ziqing had no intention of becoming the master of Jinping Peak. Now that he had the benefits, why would he not leave and wait for Yuzhu to capture him as a "hard laborer"?
Taoist Baopu's treasure room couldn't compare to the Yushan Sect's headmaster's, but compared to the average Jindan cultivator's treasure vault, it was quite substantial. It contained tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones, hundreds of thousands each of mid-grade and low-grade spirit stones, as well as a number of elixirs and various alchemy and weapon-making materials. Wen Ziqing hadn't taken any of it before, not because he was selfish, but because he had no place to store such a large fortune.
Looking at the warehouses specially opened up in the trial world of the Chaos Pearl, where the cultivation resources "taken" from the Yushan Sect's head hall and Jinping Peak were placed in different categories, Zhou Yuanyuan was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
This is the feeling of becoming rich overnight! Pills and spirit stones piled up like a mountain.
Hahahaha... Zhou Yuanyuan felt that every time she took a look at it, she could laugh for several hours.
Zhou Yuanyuan and Wen Ziqing did not return to Kyoto City, but went directly to the suburbs of T City where the Northern Military Region was located.
Calculating the time, Ouyang Xin's train should arrive in City T this morning. Zhou Yuanyuan first used her spiritual sense to sense Ouyang Xin's specific location, then brought Wen Ziqing and used the "Shrinking the Earth to an Inch" technique to intercept Ouyang Xin as he got off the train at the platform of City T's train station.
Magical skills require constant practice. After using her "Shrinking the Earth into an Inch" technique a few times, Zhou Yuanyuan had finally figured it out. At least she wouldn't lose track of where she was, like last time.
Before landing, Zhou Yuanyuan casually made a hand gesture and threw it around, so that when Zhou Yuanyuan and Wen Ziqing appeared in the surging crowd of people getting off the bus, they did not attract anyone's attention at all, as if they were supposed to be standing there.
"Good boy, you finally caught up." Ouyang Xin's eyes lit up when he saw Wen Ziqing.
