Chapter 455: Ye Wenxuan of the Heavenly Sword Sect
Chapter 455: Ye Wenxuan of the Heavenly Sword Sect
"Alright, no problem."
Liu Qianyun listened to the series of names of heavenly treasures and rare materials transmitted through the jade slip, secretly feeling a little overwhelmed.
These items were obviously not something that could be found in the desolate Nanyang Treasure Ground.
Together, they were almost worth more than the entire wealth of some Outer Gate elders.
Sect Leader Shen had not shown his face for three months; it seemed he had gone out to plunder and exterminate another family.
"What's the matter?"
Zheng Qian heard that familiar voice, but since she had previously stated that she would not get involved with anything related to Shen Yi, she could only pretend to be curious to hide her embarrassment.
"Look at you, denying it with your mouth but not your heart." Liu Qianyun gave her a sidelong glance, but this matter truly couldn't be separated from Zheng Qian.
To obtain the essence blood of a Scarlet-Eyed Phoenix at the twelfth layer of Returning to Void, one would need to be at least an executive to have the qualifications to ask.
Recently, Elder Liu had been taking great care of the Southern Yang Sect's affairs, and this had become a hot topic. As his daughter, she couldn't help but be noticed as well.
It was easy for others to associate this with the Southern Yang Sect's needs, which would only lead to more trouble later.
It would be better to let Zheng Qian handle this.
"Let's go, follow me to get the items."
Liu Qianyun summoned the Treasure Boat and left the sect with the embarrassed Zheng Qian, heading towards the Southern Yang Sect.
At the same time, in the Heavenly Sword Treasure Ground, within the Inner Sect Executive Hall.
A young man in a sword robe lazily leaned against a chair, looking at the busy woman in front of him with a hint of ridicule.
After the woman finally finished dealing with the matters of the disciples,
She turned back and forced a reluctant smile, "Executive Cui, am I doing alright?"
"Not bad, much better than when you first arrived."
Cui Hao nodded and slowly got up, preparing to leave.
"Um..." The woman hurriedly called out to him, feeling embarrassed, "Ye Wenxuan would like to ask, how much longer do I have to wait to receive the executive's jade slip... This was promised to me by the elder."
"Hmm?" Cui Hao raised an eyebrow and said indifferently, "If the elder promised you, then ask the elder. Why ask me?"
"You're joking, I don't have the qualifications to meet with the elder," Ye Wenxuan's smile became more rigid, and she continued to explain, "I, Ye, came from the Abyss Region, and my lifespan is not much. Executive Cui, could you please ask for me? At least give me a monthly allowance, even if it's for the disciples."
"Alright."
Cui Hao shook his head, "Just wait."
He turned around, his eyes filled with even more ridicule.
A cultivator at the first level of Returning to Void, with their lifespan almost exhausted, had no advantages. How could they dare to bring up the matter of becoming an executive? They should take a good look at themselves.
The elder had agreed to this matter to attract those Nanyang natives.
But apart from the woman in front of him, the others had not made a move.
If it weren't for the elder's unchangeable decree, he would have driven this person out of the inner sect long ago.
Wanting to become an executive but not willing to go to the Nanyang Treasure Ground as a spokesperson, there's no such easy deal in the world.
"..."
Ye Wenxuan closed her eyes and slowly clenched her fists.
As a cultivator with many years of experience, her knowledge might not match that of the outside world, but at least she could understand this much.
However, in the end, it was her desire for immortality that suppressed the urge to leave with a sweep of her sleeves.
Over the years, the only thing Ye Wenxuan had in her heart was the word "survival."
"Ye understands, thank you, Executive Cui."
"You're welcome."
Cui Hao gave a perfunctory smile and nodded, just as he was about to step out the door, he was pushed back by a sudden intruder.
"Trying to shirk your duties again, huh?
"Go and sit down, I have matters to attend to." Zheng Qian entered with an air of wealth and arrogance, swaying her hips.
"..." Cui Hao glared at her, but she was an executive of the Alliance Sect, and Ye Wenxuan couldn't deal with her.
He patted his clothes and said in a deep voice, "Show some respect, I, Cui, have already broken through the Fifth Layer of Returning to Void."
"Oh, I'm so scared."
Zheng Qian rolled her eyes and slapped her storage bag on the table. "The one with money is the boss, got it? You little penny-pincher."
Ye Wenxuan silently watched the two bicker.
A hint of self-mockery suddenly appeared in her expression.
This was the way executives interacted; in comparison, it was clear that in Cui Hao's eyes, she was not worth much.
"Three portions of Scarlet-Eyed Phoenix Essence Blood, hurry up, my pill furnace is about to explode," Zheng Qian waved her hand.
"Hmph, which Celestial Prodigy has taken a liking to you? Scarlet-Eyed Phoenix Essence Blood? It doesn't sound right coming from you, it's like a joke."
Cui Hao continued to search through the storage bag as he spoke.
As he checked, he sarcastically said, "I heard that your good sister has been showing favor to the Nanyang natives. She's such a kind person."
At the mention of 'Nanyang natives', Zheng Qian's eyelids twitched, but she quickly composed herself. "It's none of my business."
Ye Wenxuan also frowned, looking puzzled.
Fortunately, Cui Hao seemed focused on checking the bag and didn't notice the reactions of the two women.
After a moment, he took the bag and walked towards the back. "Wait for my message... You, come with me and learn properly."
Upon hearing this, a joyful expression appeared on Ye Wenxuan's face.
Although Cui Hao's words were not polite, the fact that he was taking her into the inner executive hall seemed like a signal.
She hurriedly followed him.
However, Cui Hao had just entered the inner room with the soundproofing formation, and he suddenly stopped.
When he turned back, his eyes were filled with indifference. "You wanted to be an executive, and now the opportunity is here. Speak."
"Speak... about what?"
Ye Wenxuan looked up in surprise, but her neck was suddenly gripped.
Cui Hao frowned impatiently. "Why are you acting foolish? Who wants this Scarlet-Eyed Phoenix Essence Blood, and for what purpose? If you utter a single lie, you can get out of here."
How could the previous changes in the two women's expressions escape his divine sense?
Moreover, Zheng Qian's pig-headedness made it clear that alchemy had nothing to do with her.
"Hmph."
Ye Wenxuan's breathing quickened.
Her earlier expression change was because she had suddenly connected the Phoenix Essence Blood with Shen Yi's Spirit Body Technique after hearing their conversation.
At this moment, the oppressive feeling from the vast gap in cultivation levels made her feel slightly suffocated.
"Speak freely, if it's useful, your executive jade slip will be delivered to you within three days at most," Cui Hao released his grip. If the Qingyue Sect had already started offering such generous items and supporting the Nanyang natives, then this matter became much more interesting.
The remaining six sects were still in discussions, and although Liu Shiqian was an elder, he was just one among the hundreds in the White Jade Capital.
Taking sides on his own was a major taboo.
"I..."
Upon hearing these words, Ye Wenxuan suddenly trembled.
Her lips quivered.
There was a long silence.
Finally, she spoke softly, as if resigned, "I once saw a Scarlet-Eyed Phoenix, but I didn't know there was another one outside, and it's so valuable. I'm a bit annoyed."
