Chapter 337 Follow-up
Leng Youran paused here and continued, "I still have some high-level cherries here, but they are much worse than these peaches. You can try them and see how they taste!" After that, he took a plate of cherries and put them on the table. Then he thought about it and took out some varieties of spiritual fruits in the space, letting the old man taste what he liked. Wu Yuzi glanced at the spiritual fruits on the table and said nothing much. He picked up a cherry and put it in his mouth. The taste was still a little worse than peaches, but it tasted not bad. He looked at some unfamiliar spiritual fruits on the table, picked up each one and tasted them. They all tasted good, especially the spiritual fruits that Leng Youran had grafted. He picked out several spiritual fruits that he liked, and Leng Youran did not let her down. He directly gave him a storage ring with various spiritual fruits. The two were about to say something when there was a knock on the door. Wu Yuzi didn't like dealing with these people, and the figure disappeared in the box in a flash.
Leng Youran already knew who the people outside were, so he stood up and walked to the door and gently opened it. Looking at the two siblings outside, he asked in confusion, "Is there something wrong, fellow Taoists?" Leng Youran had seen them in the space before, but he pretended to ask casually. Wu Jing couldn't help but lose his mind for a moment when he saw the female cultivator inside the door, but he quickly came to his senses, and saluted with his sister before saying, "My brother and I are descendants of the Wu family. May I ask, fellow Taoist, you are the Wuyou Zhenren of Xuantian Sect?" Leng Youran knew their identities when he heard them say that the Wu family was here, and nodded and said, " "That's right, please come in," he said, making way for the Wu siblings at the door to talk inside. He then had the waiter bring in two cups of spiritual tea before inquiring about their purpose. "I wonder if you two Daoists have something to ask for today," Wu Jing said, glancing at his sister. "I'm sorry to bother you Daoist Fellow Wuyou this time. My family has some resources I'd like to dispose of, and I'd like to ask you if the Xuantian Sect's headquarters is in need of one. We're willing to offer you a price one level lower than the market price." Leng Youran was slightly taken aback, then she understood what was going on. The Wu family seemed to have sensed something and were trying to curry favor with the sect. However, she couldn't agree to this just like that. After a moment's thought, she said, "I can't make the final decision on this matter, Daoist Fellow Wu. Besides, I've just arrived in Jinchen and don't know what's going on on the front lines. I'll give you an answer after I see the sect elders. What do you think?" Wu Jing nodded without a second thought. She had been afraid that Leng Youran would refuse outright, but now, how could she not be happy? The brother and sister spoke to Leng Youran for a few more words before standing up, saying goodbye and leaving. Leng Youran curled his lips as he looked at the two people's backs. Just as he was about to sit down and continue drinking tea, someone knocked on the door again. This time, two young men came in. Both of them standing at the door were at the Jindan stage. When they saw Leng Youran looking at him, they looked up. Because Leng Youran had not closed the door after the Wu brothers and sisters left, he saw the people coming at the door directly. Seeing the two people stand up, he asked politely, "I wonder if you two fellow Daoists have something to ask me." The two people standing at the door looked at each other and walked in. The door behind them was carefully closed by the waiter standing at the door. The cultivator who looked more stable among the two said, "Fellow Daoists, But I’m Xuantian Sect’s True Man Wuyou, and I’m Zhou Heng, the young master of the Zhou family.” Another cultivator standing aside also quickly introduced himself, “I’m Mu Yang, the young master of the Mu family. I’ve come to talk to Fellow Daoist Wuyou about something.” Leng Youran nodded and said, “Fellow Daoist Zhou, Fellow Daoist Mu, I’m Wuyou. I wonder what you two want to talk to me about.” Zhou Heng and Mu Yang looked at each other and it was Zhou Heng who spoke, “Fellow Daoist Wuyou, the thing is, our two families have some resources, and we’d like to ask Xuantian Sect if they need them. We’re willing to offer you a discount at a lower price than the market price. Fellow Daoist Wuyou, please consider it.” Leng Youran raised his eyebrows. Did these families have an agreement? It seems that the news of what the Kong family did has leaked out. If these three families no longer collude with the Kong family, it will also be helpful to the sect. He lowered his head and thought for a while and said to the two young masters, "My two fellow Taoists, I can't make the decision on this matter alone. We will meet here in three days. I have to discuss it with the elders of the sect before I can give you a reply." Zhou Heng and the others nodded quickly. It was a good result for this trip. The two exchanged a few more polite words before leaving.
Leng Youran, who was sitting in the box, thought for a while before standing up. It was time for him to go talk to his uncle, and she still had to go to the base. Doing so would also reassure the three families.
About five hours later, Leng Youran appeared at the Xuantian Sect’s headquarters in the Southern Wilderness.
True Lord Wumo looked pleased at his niece, but the other elders in the room didn't say much. Leng Youran bowed to True Lord Wumo, then to True Lord Zhiyang, True Lord Hongai, and True Lord Fufeng, who were seated below him. Then he spoke, "Wuyou has come this time to tell the elders something. Five hours ago, the three young masters of Jinchen's Wu, Zhou, and Mu families came to me. They said they had some resources they wanted to sell to the Xuantian Sect, and they were willing to sell them at a discount to the market price. I told them I couldn't make the decision and would discuss it with the elders when I got back. The matter still needed the elders' decision." True Lord Wumo and the other three exchanged a puzzled look. What was going on with these three families? They had previously controlled Jinchen's resources and were unwilling to part with them, so why were they willing to give them up now? And at a discount to the market price, too. This was a bit strange.
Master Wu Mo saw that Leng Youran's face was very calm so he stopped guessing and asked Leng Youran directly, "Girl, what do you know? Don't keep me in suspense, just say it!" Leng Youran smiled slightly and said, "Uncle, you won't keep me in suspense either. This is what I did before with the Kong family to do some hunting operations, but they didn't hunt any monsters. They hunted cultivators like us who have no foundation. What's even more hateful is that the Kong family not only did it themselves, but they also joined forces with the monster clan. During this period of time, I have found out that the Kong family is indeed colluding with the monster clan, and the Kong family also has a son practicing in Danzong. He is a disciple of an elder of Danzong and is now a fifth-rank alchemist. It was he who came up with the idea of colluding with the monster clan." Upon hearing this, Master Wu Mo's faces changed, and they hurriedly asked if this was true. "Girl, this is true. What's the name of that disciple? This matter can be big or small, we must find out clearly." Leng Youran looked at them and nodded solemnly. He took out two storage bags from the space, put them on the table and said to the four people "Elders, please look. I met the young master of the Wu family a few days ago. I suppressed my cultivation to the foundation-building stage at that time. When he saw me alone, he had evil intentions and wanted to kill me. In the end, I stole the storage jade pendant from him, but that guy had a life-saving magic weapon in his hand and let him escape. These two storage bags were found in his storage jade pendant. The other storage bags had no marks, but I recognized these two. Elders, you will know if you take a closer look." After that, he put the storage bag on the table for them to examine. When Master Wu Mo saw the contents of the storage bag, his eyes turned red. Several people took out two identity jade pendants from the storage bag. Master Wu Mo murmured, "I sent these two people to investigate the collusion with the demon clan. There were more than a dozen people who went out with them. The leader was a Jindan stage disciple, and the other disciples were all at the foundation-building stage. A month ago, all the soul tablets of their group were shattered, and now the storage bags of the two people appeared on the bodies of the Kong family cultivators. If it was just one, it could be said to be a coincidence, but the presence of two here is enough to show that there is something wrong with the Kong family."
