1720 Young Head’s Idea
“I appreciate your assistance in this matter, and I initially believed that your support and interaction with Phoenix Girl would grant you a special privilege or exception. However, it seems that the outcome has turned out to be no different for you than it is for the rest of us.”
” “…”
“As we all gather here, it promises to be an engaging experience for everyone,” Qianji said, offering a smile to Ouyang Mingjing.
Ouyang Mingjing reciprocated with a gentle smile. “Huh.”
Despite Qianji’s previous warning, Ouyang Mingjing seemed indifferent to the involvement of Snow Territory with monsters orchestrated by Piaomiao Pavilion. This disregard greatly annoyed Qianji.
“What an intriguing individual.”
With no desire to engage with Piaomiao Pavilion, Ouyang Mingjing showed no interest in spending his time with them. He offered Qianji a brief smile and continued on his way.
His actions conveyed a sense of indifference, as if Qianji held no significance to him.
Qianji’s smile faded, his face growing tense, as Ouyang Mingjing turned away and departed. Qianji forced a smile, which only made his appearance more strained and unconvincing.
Witnessing this exchange, members of the Cangyan Door sneered before departing as well, leaving Qianji and Wuxing alone.
Qianji ceased his forced smile.
He continued walking forward, determination etched on his face.
Wuxing remained steadfastly behind him.
“Lord Huai as the new King, serving the people? What a laughable notion, especially when it comes to defending against monsters. We’ll just sit back and wait for them to fail miserably at everything. Once they’ve stumbled, we can step forward and entice them to train with us. I’m certain it will be a mutually beneficial arrangement with Golden Rolls!”
” “…”
“But Lingyun should be of better help!”
“….”
“Go back and write a letter to Piaomiao Pavilion, informing Mr. Head of the current situation and letting him know that our return journey might be slightly delayed. There’s nothing to worry about.”
“Understood,” Wuxing replied.
“As for those mountain monsters, they’re nothing but low-class creatures, easily dealt with. See if you can come up with some middle-class monsters to introduce instead,” Qianji continued.
Wuxing pondered for a moment, realizing that it wouldn’t be as simple as Qianji suggested.
The door to enchantment swung open, revealing a multitude of extraordinary creatures lurking about. Lingyun possessed a plethora of drugs, which he could employ for bartering.
“Understood,” Wuxing acknowledged.
Qianji instructed him to return to the hostel.
With no other options available, they were compelled to remain in the hostel. There seemed to be no escape, not even for Snow Territory.
As they made their way back, the commotion at the Cangyan Door had just subsided.
Observing the vegetation within the hostel, the Young Head of the Cangyan Door expressed with deep sentiment, “Obtaining Golden Rolls may prove considerably more challenging now. We should never have colluded with Piaomiao Pavilion to coerce Phoenix Girl into providing the Golden Rolls!”
“…”
“We should have our own plan.”
“Young Head, have you got your own ideas?”
“Yes”
The Elder Man from the Cangyan Door walked up and closed the door and window cautiously.
