“Sect leader Liu, these disciples of yours are really too weak in resisting pressure. I didn’t say anything, but they actually fainted from anger. Tsk tsk, it would be really difficult for them to become great!” Yun Chujiu said arrogantly with her hands behind her back.
Liu Qian’s face was livid. He squeezed out two sentences through the gaps of his teeth, “Young hero Shi’s words make sense. They really lack experience.”
After the disciple consumed the pill, he woke up. Just as he was about to say something else, Liu Qian gave him a tight slap on the face, “You disgraceful thing, shut up!”
The disciple covered his face and did not dare to say anything. However, in his heart, he hated Yun Chujiu. ‘You brat, just you wait. When we reach the Goshawk Sect, I’ll definitely kill you.’
The rest of the journey was very smooth. Everyone left the Chimeric Plains and rode their swords to the Goshawk Sect.
Yun Chujiu was afraid of being exposed, so she did not use the chopping board. An Feng rode his sword and brought her along with Liu Qian and the others to the Goshawk Sect.
The Goshawk Sect was in Chimeric City and occupied an entire street.
When the Goshawk Sect heard that the sect leader had returned, they all went to the door to welcome him.
Liu Lianxin immediately saw Yun Chujiu who was beside Liu Qian. She looked at Liu Qian in confusion. “Father, why is this little thief with you? Why didn’t you kill him?”
Liu Qian snorted in displeasure. “What little thief?! This is Young hero Shi, father’s savior. Don’t be rude!”
Liu Lianxin was usually very arrogant. When she saw that Liu Qian did not give her face in front of so many people, she stomped her feet and ran back to the manor.
Liu Qian said, “Young hero Shi, please don’t take offense. I have spoiled Lianxin so much that she can’t be helped anymore. After I have lectured her, I’ll ask her to apologize to you.”
Yun Chujiu smiled indifferently. “It’s alright. Sect leader Liu is too polite! It’s almost noon. Let’s hurry in and have lunch. I’m hungry!”
The corner of Liu Qian’s eyes twitched. “Young hero Shi, please come in. I’ll get someone to prepare the banquet immediately.”
Liu Qian thought to himself, ‘Although Shi Ling’s spiritual power was not low, he’s greedy for pleasure. There’s no way he can escape from my grasp.’
After everyone entered the residence, Liu Qian first let everyone wash up and then set up a sumptuous banquet.
However, some of the dishes in the feast included the spirit-devouring pills that he had bought at a high price. The spirit-devouring pills were much more expensive than the scattered spirit pills, but the spirit-devouring pills were colorless and tasteless. Even spirit emperors would find it hard to notice.
Yun Chujiu gave An Feng a subtle look. An Feng understood. Some of the dishes looked like they had been eaten, but in fact, they had all been stored in his storage ring. He did not swallow them.
Yun Chujiu did not have such concerns, and she enjoyed the food very much. “Sect leader Liu, your Goshawk Sect’s chefs are really good. These braised pork ribs taste better than the ones I ate elsewhere. It’s a different kind of taste! Also, these steamed fish and dry fried meatballs are better than the ones cooked anywhere else.”
Liu Qian was shocked. The dishes that Shi Ling mentioned were all made with spirit-devouring pills. Could it be that he had discovered them?
That was not right. If he discovered them, why was he still eating so happily?
Perhaps it was just a coincidence. Yes, it must be a coincidence!
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the two spirit emperor elders that Liu Qian hired said, “Sect leader Liu, we’ve already agreed before that if we find the treasure, we’ll split it by head. If we don’t find the treasure, you’ll pay us ten million low-grade Spirit Stones each. Now, it’s time for you to fulfill your promise.”
Liu Qian smiled sinisterly. “Spirit Stones? Hehe, the Spirit Stones paid, but you have to go underground to get it!”
